Chapter 14

The next day, Sesshomaru had just finished putting a sleeping Brianna in her carseat, he heard Lillith start to cry again.

He looked over at her and could see she was still out of it. She was moaning and mumbling, and suddenly she started talking. "Daddy, please come and get us. They keep hurting Mommy. Leave her alone, you big meanie. Daddy, don't you love us? Don't you want us?", she cried.

Then she started yelling, "Mommy, Mommy. Are you Ok? Mommy wake up, please! Uncle Larry's here Mommy, wake up." She stopped yelling as abruptly as she started, but it brought the nurse to her room.

She checked Lillith over saying there was nothing physically wrong with her. She said she would note it for the doctor. She thought maybe it was a nightmare, or she was reliving a traumatic event from her childhood.

About an hour later, Sesshomaru started at the sound of his name on her lips. "Sesshomaru, why are you shutting me out? You told me one night wasn't enough, but now you won't even talk to me. Were you just playing?" she demanded.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He didn't shut her out, she refused him. He was getting to the bottom of this right now, and picked up the phone.

Kagome answered the phone and he demanded, "This Sesshomaru would know what Lillith told you about us?"

"She told me that you started refusing emails from her address after you spent the night together. Her pride was wounded Sesshomaru, she felt you used her, that's why she didn't tell you about the pup. She said you didn't want her and she wasn't going to force you.", Kagome said.

Sesshomaru put two and two together and came up with Kagura. "Tell me, what happened to her as a child? I would know Kagome, Please.", he asked.

Kagome knew how much went into that one word and told him everything she knew about Lillith's life until now. When she finished talking all she heard was silence. "Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru are you there?", she asked.

"Yes, Kagome, I'm here. Thank you.", he said and hung up. He looked at Lillith, and saw her in a new light. Suddenly, he understood what Inuyasha had said about her heart and courage. A fierce protectiveness rose in him, and he vowed that no one would hurt her again.

He sat on the edge of her bed and said, "Lillith, I am sorry that I was such a fool. I should have insisted on speaking to you. I wanted you then and I still want you. Wake up, so I can tell you that." He leaned down and kissed her.

He stood and picked up his daughter, turned and left the hospital. He dropped the pup off with Kagome and went to make preparations for his mate and pup to come home. He was not going to let her refuse him again.

The next day, Sesshomaru sat with Brianna, who was fussing over her bottle. "I know little one. You can smell Mama and want her milk, but Mama is sick and you have to eat this for now. She'll be alright soon, you'll see.", he practically cooed at her.

He looked over and got a surprise. Lillith's eyes were open and staring at him. He smiled at her, "I thought she would be the one you would want to see first." He stood and came to her bed with the pup in his arms.

He sat down next to her and let the pup see her. Brianna gave her a huge grin and waved her arms. "Not yet, pup. Mama still needs to rest.", he chided gently.

Lillith looked at him with tears in her eyes. "You won't take her from me?", she asked.

He reached out and stroked her cheek, "Why would I do that? Sleep now, you need rest. We'll be here when you wake." His tone warm and gentle.

She smiled at him and closed her eyes. He let the nurse know she had woke and spoken with him. She called the doctor and noted it. Then, he called Inuyasha and Kagome with the news.

Several hours later, Lillith opened her eyes and found Sesshomaru sitting in a chair. Brianna was in her carseat asleep. She looked around, "Where's Kagome?"

Sesshomaru grinned at her, "Kagome is at home with her mate and family."

"Then whooooo?", she gave him an odd look. He nodded his head and grinned at her again.

"Kagome taught me. We come everyday and sit with you.", he said.

"Yes, he does. He's become quite a fixture here, causing rumors about who you are flying around here.", her doctor said, coming in the room. He gave her a quick exam and told her that she was very lucky that she almost died. "A couple of more days here, and you can go home. You'll need lots of rest though.", he stated, giving Sesshomaru a funny look.

"When can I start feeding Brianna again?", she asked.

"How about a few days? I want you to pump your breasts, the medications we gave will be in the milk. After a couple days of pumping, it should be out of your system, and you can resume feeding.", the doctor said. Lillith nodded.

After the doctor left, Sesshomaru looked at Lillith. "You and I need to talk. First, I must apologize for ever denying what's mine.", he indicated to Brianna. "I had scented you the night we made love, and you were not fertile. You must have went into heat during the night. When you walked through Inuyasha's door huge with my pup, I became very angry. You see, I tried to email you the day after we were together and got a note saying you didn't want to hear from me. Then, I see you again and you are swollen with pregnancy."

"I found out that Kagura somehow had that set up. She was trying to keep us apart. She noticed the attraction between us and knew that we had been together. It would have worked, except Brianna came along.", he smiled at his pup.

"I, too, was foolish and stubborn. I should have told you, but, I thought you didn't want me. I thought you would try to be with me for the pup. I wanted you to want me for me, not because of it. I felt like I had been played. I prided myself on the fact that no one ever played me, and you came along and I danced to the song you gave me. I was angry. Please, forgive me.", she said.

Sesshomaru sat down beside Lillith and looked into her eyes. "There is nothing to forgive. We were both misled and then let pride stop us. Will you and Brianna come home with me and we can try again? This time I swear I will believe no messages unless they come from your mouth.", he leaned as he spoke, his mouth stopped right before meeting hers.

"Yes, we will come home with you.", she said, as his mouth met hers. All the longing they had felt was expressed in that kiss. She slid her arms around his neck and pressed herself tight to him. He moaned and placed his hand on her breast.

Brianna picked just that time to wake and demand their attention. They broke the kiss and smiled at their daughter. Sesshomaru reached down and picked her up. "Here she is, Mommy. Someone has really missed you.", he said laying Brianna on the bed beside Lillith.

Just then the door burst open and John strode into the room. "All right break it up, this is a hospital you know. Where's my niece?", he demanded.

Lillith started laughing at him. "She's right here. Although I'm the one who's injured. Boy, kicked to the curb for a younger woman.", she whined.

"Don't worry, honey. You'll always be first with me, but, someone stole you away from me.", he grinned at Sesshomaru.

The pup gave John a grin and waved her arms at him. "Aren't you just the prettiest little thing? You will break a lot of hearts, just like you're Mommy. Well, it's a good thing your Daddy is who he is. He'll keep them boys in line.", he said.

"Now, I'll just have to spoil this one.", he laughed, picking Brianna up. "Won't I sweetie? Uncle John will always say yes. Now, tell me what do you want?", he cooed at her.

Lillith looked at John, "Where's Uncle Larry?"

"His parole officer wouldn't give him permission to come here.", he answered.

"I'm am working on that to rectify the situation. Your uncle will be here soon.", Sesshomaru said. She gave him a bright smile.

"Oh, so you two made up, huh?", John asked.

"We could, but we seem to keep getting interrupted.", Lillith groused, half-heartedly.

"Well then, come Brianna. Let's give Daddy and Mommy some time alone.", John said, sweeping out the door, pup in arms.

As soon as the door shut, she was in Sesshomaru's arms. His lips on hers demanding and accepting her surrender. "We will go home directly from here. There are a few things you will need to learn about your new life. I can only hope that you will accept the responsibility.", he said.

She gave him a strange look,. He smiled at her, "There is much you don't know about me or who our daughter is. We will talk later, that is secondary to you getting well. Rest now, I want you with us soon."

He stood, picked up the empty car seat and diaper bag. Smiled at her one more time, and left.
