I do not own Inuyasha

Epilogue

Sesshomaru stood on a balcony, looking at the setting sun. It still sets him on edge to this day that every time that the sun sets he would turn into a wolf again.

Sesshomaru scoffed as the sun completely set. He turned around and went inside. He went to his desk and grabbed the lamp on his desk and walked out of the room.

Surprisingly he, after he had killed Naraku, he stayed in Aquila. More like asked to. Once word had spread of his demise, everyone rejoiced in his death, but the real question remained: Who would take his place. The queen had not born him an heir and the throne was subsequently empty.

So the council members came to a consensus, the one who defeated him, would become the new king: Sesshomaru. At first Sesshomaru scoffed at the idea, but Rin had him step aside and make him think. He would make a much greater replacement. Even under Naraku's command, Sesshomaru was just and fair, but brought justice with an iron fist if brought to do so. His reputation and record was without blemish, except for the years he had disappeared without an explanation, but everyone had come to find out, it was once again Naraku's doing.

After a full week of deep thinking and with Rin never leaving his side, he came to a decision and accepted the council's offer. A month later was his coronation. Once he was named king, he gutted every single room in the castle, went through every single document; be it treaties or sworn oaths of fealty, he went through it all. He chose his own study; with a window. Naraku's had no window and gutting it himself, he also found the secret passageway that led to the chamber were Naraku dealt in the dark arts. Everything was burned and destroyed.

His first year as king, everything changed dramatically to the lands. Everything became brighter and the lands prospered. During this time, taking Rin with him, he found his brother and his wife and now two children. It was a happy reunion and Sesshomaru offered Inuyasha a spot on his council. Inuyasha respectfully declined, saying he liked his life the way it was. Sesshomaru respected his wishes, but offered if he ever changed his mind, there would be a spot waiting for him.

Also during this time, a wedding was being planned. The day Sesshomaru decided to become king, he asked Rin to become his queen. She happily accepted, as long as she was with him, she would be happy. While Sesshomaru was busy, she planned and she also traveled to her homeland. Unfortunately, she never found out her father had died and when she came home, the news and the sight of his grave was heart wrenching. He was her only family left in the world, now he was gone and for a moment she felt utterly alone. Then she remembered. She had Sesshomaru. She paid her last respects and left back to Aquila, and into those strong arms she loved so much.

It has been five years since then and things had kept on changing and for the better. Sesshomaru continued down the hall towards his and Rin's chambers. He opened the door and found that his wife was not in there.

"Rin?" he called out, setting the lamp in his hand on a table.

"In here," he heard a voice call from behind a door. He made to go towards it, but then the door opened to reveal his wife in a white nightgown. His very pregnant wife to be exact.

"How are you feeling today?" he asked, walking the rest of the way to her, wrapping his arms around her expanded belly.

"Better, it's actually getting easier to breath, which is a good sign. It could be any day now," She said with a smile. In response the baby within her, moved ever so slightly.

"Let's get you to bed," Sesshomaru said into Rin's hair, which had grown back to it's original length over the years.

"Yes your majesty," Rin said slightly sarcastically.

Sesshomaru just smirked and lead her to their bed, where she laid down, belly permitting. Rin watched from her spot on her bed as Sesshomaru undressed for the night.

Sesshomaru then came to his side of the bed and joined her, wrapping his arms around her, spooning her from behind.

"Goodnight, my love," Rin said sleepily, his warmth immediately sending her to sleep, despite the occasional tightness that would come and go in her belly. She paid it no mind because it already happened quite frequently in the past weeks.

"Goodnight, my Rin," Sesshomaru said and with that they both fell into slumber.

Rin's eyes shot open. There was a window across from her and it was clearly still dark. She sat up, wondering what woke her up, until…

She gasped, the tightness that came was sudden and painful and she knew in that moment that these contractions were real. She breathed through it and before she could turn to wake Sesshomaru, she felt liquid gush from in between her legs.

"Shit," she said and then with her right hand started to nudge Sesshomaru awake.

"Sesshomaru wake up," Rin urged, another contraction, making her gasp for breath. Sesshomaru grunted.

"Oh, Sesshomaru, wake up," Rin started to push him with both of her hands. Geesh, when this man sleeps, he sleeps.

The next contraction, she yelled, "Sesshomaru, wake up! If you don't, so help me, you won't see the birth of your first born!"

Sesshomaru jolted into a seated position at this and looked bleary eyed at his wife, who was once again clutching her belly.

"Rin, is it…?" he asked, his heart rate started to race as he started to panic.

"Yes Sesshomaru it is. Go get the nurse maids. And hurry," Rin said looking at him when she said this. Sesshomaru waisted no time and jumped out of bed and went to go to the door and realized his drawers were wet.

What the… and then realized that Rin's water must of broken. With that he just threw on a robe and ran out of the room.

Rin watched him go and just smiled at her husband. She closed her eyes and tried to relax her breathing, but when the next contraction came it left her breathless.

That is when the door opened once again to bring in three women, one of them happened to be Kagome, the other two were her personal maids.

"Rin," Kagome said, coming to her side and grabbed her hand, which Rin took gratefully. Sesshomaru took this moment and came into the room and looked at his wife being tended to and the room lighting up.

That is when Kagome noticed that he was in the room.

"Sesshomaru, you need to leave. Grab some clothes and then go wait outside. This is women's work," she said with authority, but left Rin's side to help the other maids gather supplies. Sesshomaru came to her side and grabbed her hand with his.

"Rin," was all he said and bent down and kissed her. With that he gathered some clean clothes for himself and left the room.

Kagome watched him go and came back to the side of bed, watching Rin breath hard.

"How far apart do you think they are?" Kagome asked.

"I'd say about five minutes," Rin said, trying to readjust. Kagome widened her eyes.

"Already that far apart?" Kagome questioned. Rin just nodded her head, readjusting on the bed to get more comfortable.

"Mmm, lets see where the baby is, okay. Come to the edge of the bed," Kagome gently instructed. Rin gingerly complied, throwing the blankets off of her and swinging her legs over the edge. Kagome lifted up her nightgown and spread her legs.

Kagome then took some warm wet towels from one of the maids and started to wipe her hands with them and then took another and wiped Rin with it.

Kagome waited for Rin to breath through another contraction before saying, "Okay you are going to feel a little pressure. I'm just going to see where the baby is, okay?"

Rin could only nod her head and then she felt Kagome put her hand where only one other person had ever put their hand.

"Mmm," Kagome said, extracting her hand and wiping it on the towel she used earlier.

"What's 'mmm'?" Rin asked as she was ushered back onto the bed.

"The 'mmm' is for the fact that your baby is further down the birth canal than I expected. So when ever you feel the urge to push, let me know," Kagome said smiling and moved away. Rin watched her go and her next contraction almost had her screaming, but it didn't give her the urge to push just yet.

And so the three women watched over their queen, coaxing her, holding her hand when needed, and prepared for the coming of a new life into the world.

Sesshomaru was pacing down the hall. He was chewing at his left thumb nail, his right nail was already chewed off.

About an hour ago, he started to hear Rin scream. He fought the urge to burst into that room and take away the pain.

"Sesshomaru, would you please calm down. You're giving me a headache with all of this pacing that you are doing," Inuyasha said from against the wall, watching his older brother pace like a maniac.

Sesshomaru just ignored him and realized that his thumbnail was no more than a nub. Down the hall Rin screamed again. Sesshomaru turned. This scream had some sort of finality to it and he was right. A baby started to wail.

"Looks like he or she has your sunny disposition," Inuyasha commented. He was finally an uncle. It took them several years, but he understood why. Sesshomaru wanted to make sure everything was calmed down and not so hectic to even think of starting a family.

Sesshomaru waited a little impatiently for that blasted door to open and a moment after he thought that the door did open.

Kagome came out, followed by the two maids, carrying rags and they came down the hall. Kagome was smiling as brightly as the now rising sun.

"Your majesty, you can go in now," she said with a bow.

"Thank you Kagome," Sesshomaru said, already walking down the hall. She watched him go to the door and walk slowly in.

"So what is it?" Inuyasha asked from his place on the wall. Kagome turned to him and smiled. Inuyasha understood without her telling him.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru slowly made his way over to the bed, where he saw Rin nursing their child. She looked up at him then, her eyes tired, but vibrant.

"Sesshomaru, come here," she said quietly, patting the spot next to her on the bed. It was then when he was right up next to her that he got a good look at their child. The baby sported his unusual hair color, silver and had a full head of it. From what he could tell, the babe had Rin's nose, but his mouth and chin.

Pride filled his chest then, but he had yet to ask a question, but before he could voice it, Rin said, "It's a boy. What would you like to name him?"

Sesshomaru took a moment to think about it and then it came to him, "How about…Navarre."

Rin took on a thoughtful look and then looked at him and then their son and said, "Navarre."

The babe was done suckling by this time, just resting against his mother's breast, stretched and yawned in response.

"I love you Rin," Sesshomaru said quietly.

"I love you too," Rin said, leaning her head against his shoulder.

They stayed like that for what seemed like forever, but to both Sesshomaru and Rin it was perfect. Their lives had finally come to a part where it was absolutely perfect and where they absolutely deserved it.

Everything was at peace.

A/N: Now who caught it? Anyone?

Well I'll give you the answer since most of you who have read this story but don't bother to leave any sort of comment and have not seen the movie, here it is.

Navarre is the main male characters name from the movie Lady Hawk, which I based this story off of, if you guys have forgotten. So I felt some inspiration in naming Sesshomaru and Rin's baby Navarre.

Hehe. Aren't I brilliant.

Anyways this is the end of this story. Now to start a new one. Look out for any future stories I may post in the future.
