And, the time has FINALLY come… After nearly three years (god dammit Jess, what the hell is wrong with you?!), 101 Ways to Please a Pregnant Woman is now HERE! Enjoy :)
Chapter 1 – Preparation
"I like this one." I said as Inuyasha and I walked through a house with our realistate agent.
A month ago I had found out I am pregnant with Inuyasha. Of course, the first time we have sex, I get pregnant. Right now, I am two months along and this whole pregnancy thing is honestly very scary.
Don't get me wrong, I love children, and I've always dreamed of having three kids with the man of my dreams, but I didn't imagine it would be like this. Inuyasha and I aren't even married, we JUST became official when I got pregnant. He's a good guy and everything, but I don't even know if he's the one. The thing that's bugging me the most is the fact we met because of a stupid bet. Sure, that was over three years ago, but it still poses trust issues for me.
Also, our relationship this past month hasn't been the best. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, we have been stressed to the max and our lives are changing to the way we weren't planning…
Inuyasha decided to drop out of school to start off. There was no sense in going to school and spending money while trying to take care of a child. Sure, he has a lot of money thanks to his dad, but he only has so much. Inutaishou was only providing money for Inuyasha until he was finished school, then it was supposed to be up Inuyasha to provide for himself. Now, he's working in Inutaishous business. Inuyasha isn't really a business type of person, and I could tell how disappointed he was when he realized he wouldn't be able to live up to his dream.
Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat. I had to drop out as well. There is no way I can go through med school with a child. It's just not possible. Even if I have a sitter throughout the day while I attend class, I wouldn't have time to do homework, and I don't want my child to be raised by a nanny. To make things worse, I am already 11,000$ in debt from my student loan, so we're going to put that on the house payment so we get charged less interest.
So now I'm officially going to be a stay at home mom and Inuyasha is going to be a miserable business man. See how things would start going downhill for us?
Now we are choosing the house we will be living in for the rest of our lives. We decided on a four bedroom house with two bathrooms, a finished basement, and a two door car garage. Neither of us really wanted to have a huge house like Inuyasha's parents do. We wanted to feel more homey. We also made sure we got a huge fenced in backyard. On the bright side, our ideal living conditions are the same.
"I like this one too, it's exactly what we want." Inuyasha agreed with me. "It's also brand new, so we don't need to do any renovations to it."
"Renovations are headaches." Lindsay, our realistate agent, shook her head. "I can't believe at the amount of people who take on fixer-uppers."
"Okay Lindsay," Inuyasha began. "Thanks a lot for showing us all these houses, our hearts are definitely set on this one. I'll schedule a meeting at the bank with my father and I'll give you a date and time."
"Okay great!" Lindsay smiled and shook both our hands. "Just let me know as soon as you can so our schedules don't collide."
We said our goodbyes and left the house. Thankfully, Inutaishou agreed to help us out with getting our home prepared for the baby, but that is the ONLY reason why he's helping us out.
Inutaishou had agreed to put the down payment for our house, he also bought us two cars. I got a Honda Accord and Inuyasha has a Toyota Camry. I think they're pretty sweet cars, but Inuyasha thinks they're too familyish. I laughed when he said that, because that's exactly what we need.
Inutaishou is also helping us with furniture. I feel so bad with how much he is helping us, but Inuyasha insists that this is all pocket change to him. I know we will never be able to repay him the money, but I will find ways to show our appreciation.
We got in the car and took off towards his parents mansion. I sighed in discontent at the silence between us. We've been trying really hard to get along with each other, but with both of ours dreams crushed, it's been hard not to fight.
"Look Inuyasha," I started. He didn't answer but I knew he was listening. "I know this isn't something we planned, nor did either of us want to drop our dream careers, but there's no turning back now. This is our child, instead of fighting, I think we should keep in mind that this is a blessing to us."
Inuyasha sighed. "I know, it's just a lot to handle. I still can't believe I'm going to be a father."
"I still can't believe I'm going to be a mother!" I said. "Hunny, we're in the same boat, we have to remember that. Hopefully, it will make things easier between us."
"I agree with you, loser." Inuyasha smiled and I gave him a light punch. This is one thing I love about our relationship. Even though we do fight more than we should, and no matter how stressed we are, we can listen to each other and understand our points of views.
We soon arrived at the mansion. Sesshoumaru and Rin are down for the weekend so the Takahashi's are having supper for everyone. This will be the first time Inuyasha and I will be seeing the two since I found out I was pregnant.
We walked in to find Rin, Sesshoumaru and Izayoi sitting in the living room talking to each other and catching up. Inutaishou is still at work, he will be home in about an hour or so.
"Inuyasha, who would have thought you would be the first to bear the grandchild." Sesshoumaru said as a greeting.
"I'll sure as hell be a better father than you, that's for sure." Inuyasha replied. Rin and I only shook our heads. We learned not to get involved with the two of them when they had their little arguments. Honestly though, I think Sesshoumaru harasses Inuyasha because he cares. With his cold stoic personality, this is his way of showing it. I would probably be beheaded if I ever said that to him though.
Izayoi greeted the two of us with a hug as did Rin. I only got a hand shake from Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha received nothing from him. They'll get along one day, I know it.
Time went by quick until Inutaishou finally came home. He greeted Rin with a big bear hug as he usually does, but gave me a gentle hug as I am carrying his grandchild. Izayoi received a kiss on her forhead and Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha received nooggies. I laughed, I love Inutaishou's happy spirit. He always cracks me up.
Everyone went to get washed up for dinner as it would be ready shortly. Today has been a good day so far. Inuyasha and I haven't fought yet, we found the perfect home, and everyone is here together in such a cheerful mood.
Even with the setbacks that everyone has to get used to, everything seems perfect.
We all sat down around the table. Me beside Inuyasha, Rin and Sesshoumaru sitting together, with Inutaishou and Izayoi on either end of the table, like usual.
We told Inuyasha's parents about the home we chose. They seemed please about our choice. Tomorrow Inuyasha will set up the bank appointment. It is now January, so we should be able to get possession sometime in February.
After dinner, Inuyasha and I went up to his bedroom to try and spend some quality time together. I have something on my mind, and he knows it.
"Can you tell me what's on your mind Kagome?" He finally asked.
I sighed. "I think it's about time we should tell everyone the truth, and start with my family." I said.
The thing is, Inuyasha's family are the only people who know about my pregnancy. I have seen my family since I found out, but since I'm only two months along they obviously can't tell. We haven't told our friends yet as I wasn't ready to say anything. We're on our Christmas break right now, so I haven't had to explain to them why I won't be at school anymore, but we only have a week left until school is supposed to pick up again. Rather than having our friends freak out wondering where the heck we are, we might as well tell them beforehand.
"What is your mother going to think?" Inuyasha asked me, it's the same thing I've been wondering, especially since I haven't told her anything at all. I've pretty much made all of these decisions on my own, with Inuyasha of course, and I didn't want my mother trying to talk me into something I didn't want. Knowing my grandfather he would have tried pushing me into abortion, but neither of us believe in it.
"I have no idea, she'll be mad for sure, but I don't know exactly how she will react." I said, really hurt at the thought of disappointing my mother. She's such a great person, and did such a great job at raising Souta and I, which is why I tried so hard to make her proud. Now I'm pregnant and have to drop out of school. She was pretty mad when I started dating Inuyasha again because of what happened in highschool, but this will make her furious. None the less, it has to be done.
I gave my mother a call and we made plans to come over tomorrow night for dinner. I only said I wanted to pop in and catch up, nothing about having a big announcement. But tomorrow will be one of the hardest things I'll ever do.
Inuyasha felt me tense up from the stress and he began to run his claws through my hair. "Calm down Kagome, it's not healthy for the baby." He said, and he's right.
"Inuyasha you have no idea how I feel, it's hard to keep calm." I nearly snapped, but remembered that we need to start getting along. I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Inuyasha."
"It's okay, see we're getting better at this." He mustered a laugh, and I did too. He placed a kiss on the back of my head, as I'm sitting in between his legs. Then, the pervert decided to squeeze my chest…
"Inuyasha!" I yelled at him as I swatted his hands away.
Inuyasha laughed. "You're the mother of my child, I'm allowed to rape you."
"Get away from me you freak." I replied. Okay, today is definitely a good day. The two of us hadn't been in such a good mood for a while now. It's probably because we got finding a house out of the way, just a little bit less stress. Tomorrow on the other hand, will be a completely different story…
Aaaaannnnndddd there you have it guys :D (Read the end for a POLL ;) )
I'm going to start off by saying I AM SO SORRY for the stupidly long wait for this story… I hit a really bad roadblock for this, and unfortunately life got in the way at the same time (senior year of highschool, part time job, jerk of a now exboyfriend -.-, and University, so yea ive been very busy). I tried starting new stories but they were left un-updated and deleted eventually.
Life has calmed down a bit, well a lot, so I've had a lot of downtime and ideas are just FLOWING :D So
I would have written this a lot sooner, but I had to read over my other two stories to refresh my memory, and I have to say, honestly, I can't believe you enjoyed them….
The plots were SO unorganized! I brought characters in that were barely used, and my spelling, grammar, and ugh just everything was terrible… But anywho, I hope this one is a ton better than the other two. I hope you enjoyed, and like before, PLEASE REVIEW, I really like getting those reviews ;)
OH btw, I did skip some chapters cause I was kinda getting bored of reading my own stories… so can someone tell me, did I bring Kagome's father into the other stories at all? Like have him appear? I know he was mentioned but I'm not sure if he actually appeared.. (yea its been that long… -.-)
POLL!
Should Inuyasha and Kagome have a boy or girl? It's up to you guys, the one with the most votes will determine the sex :)
