His mother stood, impressively calm. His wall, however, was crumbling.

"K, he's pacing like a fucking cat." Inuyasha smirked leaning against a wall.

Sesshomaru turned his blood red eyes to Inuyasha.

"Careful, son of my mate." She said coolly. "I can promise in this state he will show no mercy to you."

Kagome's scream made Inuyasha's ears go flat. Sesshomaru growled and flexed his claws.

Sango bolted in. "Pardon, but she's calling for him."

"Is it not wise for him to go in with her in that condition."

"Men ain't supposed to go in the birthing room," Inuyasha added.

Sango rolled her eyes, "In her time, it is common practice for the male to be with his wife during birth."

"I must insis-" His mother started, but he pushed past them and went to his mate.

The smell of her blood made his marks jagged as he enters the room.

"I hope ye know what ye are doing child." Kaede whispered.

"Sess- Sesshomaru." Kagome panted then whimpered.

He growled and moved to her, she could tell it was killing him. His stone mask gone.

Kagome sat up when her contraction stopped and turned and got on all fours. She tugged him and he fell to his knees in front of her. She pulled herself up and thew her arms around his neck, his arms went around her waist and he tugged her closer.

She whimpered as she felt another wave come to her. He buried his face into her neck and she screamed. She felt him shake under her, his beast was in a rage.

"Sesshomaru." She breathed, raising one of her hands she touched his markings. "I love you."

"Push, Kagome, next one," Kaede said.

"Mate." Was all Sesshomaru could manage to say.

Kagome screamed, but it didn't last. It turned into a moan as the baby fell into Kaedes hands.

Kagome smiled and Sesshomaru looked over her shoulder as soon as they heard the baby's cry.

Sesshomaru sniffed and looked down at Kagome's breast. Kaede wrapped the baby and cut the cord while Sesshomaru fought to gain control of himself. Sesshomaru moved her slightly and grabbed one of breasts. She gasped, "Sesshomaru."

Kaede didn't look. "'Tis alright child, he must bring forth the milk."

Sesshomaru leaned in and latched on to her nipple and sucked. It felt good for a whole other reason. The pain behind her grown breast was instantly cooled. So many times he wanted to do this to her, but it would have started her labor and they could not risk it.

She moaned and he pulled back, her nipple now dripping milk. Sesshomaru laid her on her side and Kaede nestled the baby next to her where he instantly found his first meal.

Sesshomaru watched his son and mate as Kaede quickly finished with the rest and left them to be alone together.

Sesshomaru leaned down, mindful of his hair and pushed his nose against his sons cheek. He closed his eyes and smelled him.

The baby stopped sucking for a moment and made a noise. Kagome giggled. "Did he just growl?"

Sesshomaru pulled back and opened his eyes, they were now gold.

"Hn, he think me to steal his meal."

Kagome smiled big and he leaned in and rested his forehead against hers. "You did well, mate."

"Mmm." She sighed happily. Slowly she started to doze, but she kept jolting awake.

"Sleep mate, I shall care for the pup." He took his son and held him close and Kagome finally drifted off.

He walked proudly to everyone and showed him off.

His mother was most pleased. "Your mate did well and he is strong and beautiful."

His son carried the moon and white hair of his father, but he carried his mothers blue eyes. They were like shattered crystal, which only enhanced his beauty.

"Your father would be proud." She stated with great pride.

"Hn."

Sesshomaru then took his son outside and away from everyone. Under the moonlight, Sesshomaru fell in love with his newborn and found greater love for his mate.

"I will not fail you, my son." He told the sleeping baby.

Then a sparkling magic appeared before him, and like only once before, his father's image stood before him.

He smiled down. "I am proud of you, my son." His father's voice was deeper and stronger.

"Your mate has given you the best gift and you have done well."

Sesshomaru looked back down at his son.

"I have nothing left to teach you my son, you have finally learned."

Sesshomaru looked back up.

"Do you understand now, my son?" His fathers tone now a bit softer.

Sesshomaru only blinked, afraid to speak in his father presence. His father reached out and placed his hand on Sesshomaru's face and he looked him deep in they eyes.

His son knew love, wanted love, created love, gave love and most of all, wanted to protect it.

"We are all but slaves to our hearts."
