Chapter Text
“You gotta hit him in the chest Moro. It’ll knock him off balance.” Toga yelled to a floored Moroha who was growling at Daichi laying above her. “He cheated grandpa!” She yelled and thrust her feet up to kick him in the stomach, forcing him off of her and down to her side.
Kouga laughed and walked over to the panting pair to hold his hands up. “He’s a full demon Moro, you’ll have to get stronger to beat him.” He said with a smirk, hauling both four years olds up by the hand. “I’m six months older than him! I should be able to beat him.” She said with a huff before sticking her tongue out at him and turning away.
“Oi! Don’t be filling her head with that bullshit! She can kick his ass any day!” Inuyasha yelled from his position at the grill. A shrill yell of his names made his ears lower. “Sorry mom.” He yelled and Izzy huffed from her place on the patio furniture.
“I swear it's like I raised him in a barn.” She said, turning to a smiling Kagome and a laughing Hina, holding a one year old son Akito next to a very pregnant Rin. “We have a strict ‘Don’t repeat anything daddy says at school’ rule in this house and so far we haven’t gotten any calls.” Kagome said with a laugh, bouncing a babbling Akito in her lap, his ears flicking around before his head snapped towards their door.
Sango and Miroku walked in with their twins, Kin’u and Gyokuto and a 6 month old Hisui in a baby wrap around Miroku’s chest. “Mine!” He screamed and Kagome flushed bright red as Kin’u giggled and came over to him. She gave his ears a quick rub and smiled at him. “My favorite puppy! How are you?” She cooed at him and he smiled a big fanged grin at her. She pet his ears before taking a seat in Hina’s lap and making faces at the giggling baby.
Sango came over and took the remaining seat, unwrapping Hisui and handing him to an already waiting Setsuna. “When Miroku said all our kids would end up with all your kids I thought he was full of it.” She said with a huff as Setsuna quickly took Hisui who was babbling at her and pulling her hair.
“Don’t pull, Hisui.” She growled at him and he just looked up at her with a wide gummy grin. “You don’t have to hold him Setsuna. You can just put him on the ground and he’ll crawl around.” Miroku said with a laugh, placing their diaper bag at Sango’s feet. Setsuna growled but continued to hold him as he pulled her hair. “He smells the best. I want him near me.” She grumbled out before walking away from the now laughing adults.
Miroku excused himself to go join Inuyasha by the grill. Clapping him on the back and whispering something into his ear that made him burst out laughing.
“She is young, do not project adult feelings.” Sesshomaru growled from his place on the ground in front of Rin. Towa sat in his lap braiding his hair in small sections, the entire right side of his head covered in twists. At almost 6 years old, hair styles were her newest focus while Setsuna had been more focused on how to properly carry a sword. “Daddy, your hair looks so good! I did really good with this braid!” Towa said excitedly, pulling up a braid that looked identical to the others on his head. He hummed and nodded in agreement, a small smile on his face. Towa giggled and moved to a new section of his hair to braid.
He leaned his head back on Rin’s protruding belly and sighed. “I bet you're excited to finally have another boy in your house.” Kagome said with a small laugh and Sesshomaru sighed and glanced down at the braids in his hair before nodding.
“I can’t wait until he’s out of me. He somehow moves more as a single baby than the twins did the entire time, and he still has two more months of cooking.” Rin said with a groan, shifting on the chair to get comfortable. Sesshomaru hummed and moved his head to turn and kiss her belly before settling back to allow Towa to continue her make over.
“He may not have ears.” He said quietly and Rin nodded but continued speaking “But we will still love him and allow your mother to meet him if he does.” Sesshomaru groaned but nodded in agreement.
Izzy laughed and reached her hand out to pet Rin’s belly. “I feel like I’m getting baby fever. Look at how cute they all are! My heart is melting over all these babies!” She gushed, looking around at the playing children in the backyard. Hina laughed and shook her head. “I couldn’t even imagine having more than the two I have. Even spaced out I still get calls from Souta asking how to make a doctor's appointment and now I have all these grandbabies to fawn over.” She said, reaching over to rub Akito’s ear.
Toga appeared beside Izzy, his hand on her shoulders. “Don’t talk her out of this Hina, this is years in the making. You just tell me when Izzy. We’ll lock down the house for a couple weeks and we can make another one.” He said and excitedly and she sighed before turning back to him.
“There are currently 9 children here and Shippo is coming over soon to make it 10. Maybe, and I mean maybe when there are no more babies for us to play with.” She said and Toga let out a victorious yell before running back over to continue helping Itsuki practice his moves. “Don’t go easy on me Toga, I’m going to be the Alpha one day and I need to be strong.” Itsuki, the older of Kouga and Ayames’ twins said, putting himself into a fighting position. Toga nodded very seriously before adjusting his own stance and calling him over. “Big words for a four year old but I’ll take ya.” He said with a smirk.
“Daichi, why don’t you go train with Toga too and give Moroha a break?” Ayame yelled from her place at the table. Daichi blushed and shook his head. “I’m gonna stay with Moroha.” He said, kicking the ground at his feet. Moroha snorted and walked away from him. “I’m going to go run with the dogs. They smell better than you.” She said, sticking her tongue out at him. He let out a bark of laughter before rushing after her and pulling Ah, Uh, and Waffles up to play fetch with them.
Kagome laughed and Ayame shook her head at her son. “He probably smells too sweet for her now. We’re going to have to keep a close eye on them when they’re teenagers.” She said and Kagome laughed harder at Moroha’s indignant shout.
“Hey! Sorry I’m late! Souten asked to practice her thunder on me.” Shippo said, entering the backyard and smiling at the group. His kindergarten girlfriend had become his best friend as they’d grown and they were inseparable as teenagers. Gyokuto squealed and ran to him to be lifted in his arms.
He gave her a big hug, breathing deeply before putting her down. “How is my favorite big kid?” He asked with a smile before letting her take his hand and lead him to the table for the 3 year old run down. Miroku watched the interaction before leaning over to whisper something to Inuyasha again causing Shippo to blush a bright red.
“Its almost incestuous.” Inuyasha muttered and Miroku laughed before going into the kitchen to grab some serving plates and paper plates. He left the serving plates next to Inuyasha before leaving the pile of the plates in front of Kouga and Ayame on the table.
Toga looked on from his position with Itsuki in a head lock and released the boy before patting him on the shoulder making him stumble forward a bit. “Don’t worry Itsuki, when you’re as old as me I’ll bet you’ll be able to take me down no problem.” He said.
“Kids! Lunch is ready! Go to the table!” He yelled, shoving a still grumbling Itsuki towards the table. Moroha and Daichi ran up to the table, the 3 dogs following along with them. Waffles took his post at the edge of the table next to Moroha, his head cresting the table as he sat. Daichi sat across from her, trying to get her attention while she laid kisses on Waffles head. Ah and Un trotted towards the other end of the table next to Towa who gave both grey pit mixes a pat on the head.
Setsuna returned Hisui to Sango before taking her own seat next to Towa. Kin’u and Gyokuto took their own seats beside Moroha with a whine of protest from Akito and Shippo grumbled that he wasn’t a kid anymore before taking his seat beside the twins. Inuyasha came out with Akito’s high chair and shooed Waffles out of the way to put it at the head of the table.
Kagome moved to bring Akito to his chair booping his nose with a giggle when he reached back to be picked up again. “You’re getting too spoiled mister. Sometimes you have to sit in your own chair and not on people.” She cooed and he whined.
Inuyasha came back with buns and condiments, depositing them on the table before leaving and returning with a tray full of mini cupcakes. “Alright! Time to sing to the birthday boy!” He announced, passing a cupcake to each child before turning to Akito and placing the cupcake out of his reach and lighting a single candle in it.
“Happy birthday to you!” They all sang and Akito giggled and waved his arms in excitement. As they finished the song, Kagome blew out the candle before removing the candle and handing the cupcake to Akito who promptly shoved it into his mouth, paper and all. Hina was laughing and snapping pictures as he chewed and swallowed.
Inuyasha laughed as the other kids removed their paper to pop their mini cupcakes into their mouth. He moved to bring the trays with meat and corn to the table, the parents moving around the table to cut hotdogs and burgers for kids and squirt ketchup and mayo where requested.
“You better eat some corn too, boys.” Kouga said and Itsuki and Daichi sighed before grabbing corn and taking bites to appease their father. Moroha grabbed a piece of hotdog and tossed it behind her to Waffles who was waiting patiently. Ah and Un had moved from Towa to behind Setsuna who was feeding them pieces of her burger as well.
“This is why the vet is telling us they’re fat. Setsuna, the food is for you!” Rin grumbled, pulling the dogs back next to Towa who would occasionally pet them when they whimpered for food. “Waffles has officially hit 130 pounds and the vet told us they finally thought he was done growing.” Inuyasha said, grabbing his own hotdog and patting the dog affectionately on his head. “Chow chow mix my ass.”
Kagome laughed and called Waffles over to him. “He was just a tiny wrinkle and now he could take us all out with one wrong swish of his tail. But you would never do that? Would you my little puppy?” She said, scratching him behind the ears.
A sudden growl erupted from the table and Kagome looked up to see Kin’u and Itsuki in a stalemate over the last hotdog on the plate. Sango sighed and Inuyasha moved forward, grabbing the hotdog from both of their forks and popping it in his mouth causing a loud protest from the two at the table. “There is more food, don’t fight or I'll eat it” He said and both kids sighed but nodded.
Kagome stood to kiss him on the cheek and he smiled gently down at her before leaning forward to kiss her chastely on the mouth.
“Mama!”
Kagome broke the kiss to see a pouting Akito staring at the couple and Kagome laughed before moving to him and cutting more burgers up for him.
“Fucking runt out here cock blocking me.” Inuyasha grumbled and Kagome swatted at his chest as she continued cutting his food. “They’re having a sleepover tonight with mama and you’ll have me all to yourself.” She said teasingly and he growled before swatting her butt and moving to grab more meat from the grill.
“You better be good for daddy while we’re gone!” Moroha said through a mouthful of food. Kagome stilled in her cutting and Inuyasha burst out laughing.
Miroku snickered under his breath before placing a calming hand on Moroha’s shoulder. “Don’t you worry your pretty little head about Mommy and Daddy, I’m sure she’ll be a very good girl for him. Won’t you Kagome?” Miroku said with a perverted glint in his eyes.
Kagome sputtered and blushed and bright red before turning to her daughter and nodding in confirmation. “I will follow whatever rules Daddy has.”
