When the family arrived home in the early evening they were surprised to find the shrine brightly lit.

As they entered, they found a banner welcoming them home, the soft sound of music drawing them to the main hall.

When Tomoe opened the door their closest friends were there to greet them.

"Congratulations," they cried.

The family smiled in utter surprise.

"How," Nanami cried, hugging Ami with her left arm while holding her daughter tightly in her right.

"Twas Master Mizuki who called upon us," Himemiko smiled.

"What, really?"

"Yeah," Kei smiled, "he was a man on a mission."

Nanami turned to her familiar, tears rolling down her cheeks and a smile on her lips.

She hugged him tightly, kissing his cheek, "Mizuki you are amazing."

Tomoe laughed as he tossled the familiars hair.

As everyone looked over the new arrivals Nanami noticed Ami and Kurama rush from the hall.

She handed the little girl to Mizuki, who smiled at the chance to hold the little fox, then went after them.

When she got outside she heard the sound of gentle cooing while the sound of someone being sick also caught her attention.

It didn't take her long to find Kurama gently stoking Ami's back as she got sick outside the garden.

"Ami are you ok? What's the matter," Kurama asked frantically.

"I'm sorry Shinjirou. I don't know why I'm so sick. Maybe it's the excitement," she cried.

Nanami giggled, startling the two.

"Hey what are you doing here," Kurama asked.

"I live here," she said, rolling her eyes.

He scratched the back of his head, laughing nervously, "Oh yeah."

Nanami shook her head, smiling, "Why don't you two come with me."

The two looked at each other then followed the goddess into the shrine to the room she shared with Tomoe.

After a quick dig through some papers she found what she was looking for then handed the item to Kurama.

"You two need to set up an appointment here. The women are wonderful but later on you should ask to see Midwife Mirai. Tell her I sent you and you shouldn't have any worries."

She then left them to rejoin her family and celebration.

A short time later Kurama and Ami also rejoined the group, their faces crimson, dazed smiles on their lips.

Once everyone had gathered Mikage called to the new parents, "Alright you two we are all dying to know. What are we to call my grandchildren?"

Nanami smiled, looking up at Tomoe.

He smiled, wrapping his right arm around her waist, "We finally decided on names today and what we decided was..."

Nanami giggled, "Hikari for our little girl."

"And Hideaki for our son," Tomoe smiled proudly.

The hall erupted in cheers.

In the blink of an eye ten years pass...

Tomoe and Nanami sat on the ground under the blossoming Sakura tree, enjoying the late spring air, blossoms falling all around them.
Tomoe plucked a petal from Nanami's hair, kissing the spot where it had landed.
Mikage smiled as he inhaled deeply, taking a sip of the sake Mizuki had just poured for him.
Nanami turned to her friend Ami, smiling, "I hope little Sora gave you a smooth delivery."
The woman smiled, shifting her tiny bundle and leaning against her husband, "It was ok."
"How are you adjusting to two young ones Tengu," Tomoe smiled, sipping his sake.
Kurama shrugged, "Alright I guess. My manager told me that if I cancel anymore shows he's done."
"Well that isn't fair," Nanami replied.
Kurama smiled, wrapping his arms around Ami's waist and drawing her close, "It's no big deal. I have all I need right here. Singing is more of a hobby anyway."
Ami blushed, smiling as he kissed the top of her head.
"Have you taken her to see your father yet," Nanami asked, smiling.
Ami smiled, "Lord Soujoubou adores her though he is a bit jumpy with her.
Kurama rolled his eyes.
"Hey guys," a familiar voice called from the shrine steps.
They looked up to find Kei smiling and waving at them; Jiro, now dressed as a sleek businessman thanks to Kurama's help; looking flustered as he stood behind her.
"Sorry we're late, Jiro had to talk to one of his brothers," Kei smiled as she sat next to Ami.
"Oh yeah? What about," Kurama asked, taking his eyes off his little girl who slept soundly in her mother's arms.
Jiro shrugged, "I was making sure some loose ends were tied up for when I officially leave the mountain."
Kurama smiled, "I told you the mundane world isn't so bad."
Jiro smirked, looking around, "Speaking of bad, where's my little monster?"
Kurama pointed at the shrine, "Inside playing with Hikari and Hideaki."
Tomoe also looked at the porch, "Now that you mention it, it's rather quiet."
Nanami sighed, shaking her head, "Don't say..."
Suddenly an explosion sounded followed by the sound of shrieks and the cry of frantic honking.
"Oh no," Nanami sighed as a black and white goose tore from the shrine followed by a laughing boy of ten years.
"Oh man Shoota you're insane," he laughed, his shoulder length white hair and blue yukata blowing out behind him, his wooden katana bouncing at his right hip. The tail at his back swaying happily as his violet eyes glistened with laughter, his white and brown ears swivled behind him, listening for his pursuer.
Tomoe caught the boy in mid flight as he jumped from the porch, "Hideaki what did you two do now?"
The goose flapped its wings trying to hide behind Kurama who started out curious until he finally realized and his heart sank in horror, "Not you too."
Three kitsunebi shot from the shrine followed by their creator, "Shoota that wasn't funny."
A girl of ten raced from the shrine, her purple yukata and waist length white hair in disarray around her brown and white ears that were up and alert. Her tail stood on end, the fur standing in all directions as her violet eyes glowed dark purple in anger.
She dove at the goose, crying menacingly, "Daddy is teaching me to cook. Perhaps I shall have him teach me to make roast goose."
Tomoe caught her in his other arm, setting her brother down to get a better grip on her tiny, thrashing form.
"Hikari what is the meaning of this," Tomoe asked, hugging her close.
Tears rolled down the girls cheeks as she buried her face into her father's shoulder, wrapping her hands around his neck, "Shoota...He..."
Tomoe stroked her back to calm her down.
Hideaki snickered, "Shoota kissed her. He is insane."
The goose let out a soft honk as it stuck its head under Kurama's arm.
Nanami stood, placing a hand on her daughter's back, "Sweetie you need to turn him back."
"But mama he..."
Tomoe kissed the top of the little girls, hiding a grin of pride in her hair, "Do as your mother says my Aiko. He was only teasing."
She rubbed her eyes, snapping her fingers and calling off the transformation.
When the smoke cleared, Kurama held a boy of nine in his lap. His shoulder length hair was as dark as night to match his large wings he had fully extended at his back. His grey eyes scanned around frantically, calming when he was sure his attacker was under control.
Ami placed a hand on her son's shoulder, "Are you ok?"
He blushed, looking away, "Yeah no thanks to her."
Nanami smiled, "Shoota you know Hikari has a short fuse so why did you do that?"
He looked at Hikari who was glaring menacingly at him, he gulped harshly when he saw her father had the same expression.
He looked away, drawing his arms into his kariginu, "Because I wanted to."
Kurama's jaw dropped, "You kissed her because you wanted to. Shoota you know better then to do something like that."
The boy turned away from his father, "It won't happen again."
"Yes," Tomoe hissed, "See that it does not."
Nanami giggled, shaking her head, "Alright now that the crisis has been averted let us move on."
Tomoe was still furious but Nanami knew just what to do.
She drew him down so that her lips could press softly against his, his body relaxing as he wrapped his free arm around her slender waist, deepening the intimate action.
