That was somehow, so much worse than I'd thought. I understand the desperation, but did Sesshomaru really ignore 300 red flags just to say he had his land back? There has to be more to this, like a loneliness aspect or something... What a horrifying little man. Couldn't he just kill the geezer and throw some money at that twat, and just have his land? Poor Haine... I hope he never finds out. 

Ah, so she hates yokai. That's what I was worried about when you first mentioned that Haine could transform so early (that would freak out a bigot). What the hell are her father's plans that he'd force her to get married and have kids with one? He's not living any longer, and she obviously has no other siblings, but also isn't acting as expected in order to remain at least the picture of a dutiful wife. 

Hoping the excursion to the aquarium helps Sesshomaru bond with the baby. He's already so much happier, even if it's temporary. Fingers crossed they don't run into any trouble.

This is just the cutest! A great mix of slow paced friendship, history and exploring childhood trauma. Love the old gentleman scene. What a cute moment. And the juxtaposition of how they corrected assumptions is both sly and coy on your part! Makes me want to keep reading to see how things go progress! 

Really liking this story so far. Haine sounds adorable! I'm very creeped out by that old man and I don't want to think about what abuse he's visited on his daughter to make her agree to this meeting.

Maybe Kagome can help Haine decorate his room and the fridge. Here's hoping

I really love this story. You have blended history and fiction very well and developed an intriguing back story. Thank you for updating. 

This story makes me want to cry. I really hope it doesn't take too long for them to come together. 

Now we know why all this came about. I had been waiting for this chapter. I wonder what Kagome will do with this information. Thanks for the update. I look forward to the next one :)

Oho! This one is a good story~ I certainly love your potrayal of Sesshomaru and knowing his perspective is awesome~ Kagome is very well written, as in her attitude and thoughts feel genuine in joy and warmth, and little Haine is so adorable! His past his past must be truly... something, if his maternal family and own mother's interactions so far are any indication...

It's time Kagome steps foward and teach everyone how to be a role mother and caring wife~!! 

Such a very interesting story can not wait to learn more about sesshomarus ex and if kagome will be with sessy and his cute little haine

You answered a lot of the questions I had about his wife. I assumed she was disgusted to have a hanyou and I was curious about her aging. I hope sesshomaru goes with them to the aquarium!

I really enjoyed this story. As always very well written 

Really nice chapter. Her family comes off as cruel and grasping. I feel they would only use Haine as a way to get what they want. Money and power or worse. Nice to see a little chaos in Seeshomaru's life when he returns home. 

And I'm really curious about what is going on with him... maybe some strange magic/spell or is it simply stress. Either way his attraction To Kagome is strong and progressing very fast. The possibility's are endless. ????

Loving the story so far! Can't wait for more!!

Wonderful chapter. His exes family sounds like a real joy. Ugh... he better break out the lawyers, it's going to be ugly. Sweet how he forgot his glamour getting Haine ready for school. 

This is a wonderful fic. I like where it's going!

Loving this! 

Hmmm...can't wait to find out why he is so absentminded and why. Lovely chapter. 

Ohhh...who? who? Nice start. 

I am excited to see how things unfold. I love that we get to see some glimpses of the past and how different the future is. Can't wait for more!
