The Chance Encounter
By 246Nakuro
Summary: When Kagome is in the hospital for her monthly check up she finds out she's pregnant with Inuyasha's child. This makes her ecstatic, however Inuyasha is a different story, and he abandons her faster than you can say pie. Sesshomaru sees this and offers to drive her home. One thing leads to another and the two become parents, and married.
Chapter 1: YOU'RE WHAT?!
Kagome yawned and started running away from Inuyasha who was threatening to tickle her. She ran out to the car and sticking her tongue out at him she drove off to her doctors appointment. This happened all the time when Kagome needed to wake up, Inuyasha would help her by tickling her. Upon arriving at the doctor's office her usual doctor wasn't in so she sat for the first doctor available.
Sesshomaru drove into the parking lot of the hospital and in his scrubs. He walked in and upon greeting the nurses he checked his schedule. Getting everything ready he went into the back room and then looked at the first person on his clipboard. Walking out to the waiting room he looked at his clip board on more time to check he had the name right.
"Kagome Higurashi?" He called and his brother's wife, lover, and mate stood up and followed him into room number five.
"I didn't know you were training to be a doctor." Kagome told Sesshomaru on their way to the scales.
"Yeah." Sesshomaru gave a small smile.
Kagome was the only person in the world he opened up to. While she had dated his brother they had become the best of friends. They laughed and talked about everything, in fact, around her Sesshomaru became TALKATIVE. He was FRIENDLY, and NICE, and he LAUGHED. He wasn't cold when ever Kagome was around, she seemed to brighten up his day, no matter the place.
"Well you certainly cut a striking figure in a uniform." Kagome laughed as she got off the scale, and looked back at him.
"Well thank you my lady." Sesshomaru bowed before her, causing Kagome to crack up laughing soon followed by Sesshomaru.
After entering the room again Kagome looked at Sesshomaru as he typed her vitals in on the computer. "Can I ask you something as a patient?"
"I am your doctor. That's what I'm here for. To answer questions." Kagome laughed.
"I've been vomiting a lot. Should I be concerned?"
"Hmmm. How long has this been going on?" Sesshomaru voice had become less joking and more serious, but it still held the happy Sesshomaru side.
"Uh… a week now."
Sesshomaru typed some stuff into the computer, and then looked back at her. "Has it gotten worse or better?"
"That's just it. Some days I won't have it at all and other days I can't eat anything."
"Hmmm. Call Inuyasha. He should be here for this."
"…Ok."
"I'll be back."
Sesshomaru stood and exited the room and went to go talk to some of the other nurses. The nurses told him that the ultra sound was indeed free. He walked back into the room to find Inuyasha looking at him with a confused face.
"What's going on?" He demanded Sesshomaru. "What's so important that you had to drag me away from work?"
"Sit down Inuyasha before you fall down." Sesshomaru gave a calm order and Inuyasha obeyed. "Now as far as I can tell Kagome is fit as a fiddle."
"So why am I here?!"
"Patients. Inuyasha. Patients." Inuyasha grumbled something inaudibly but other than that remained quiet. "I'm guessing, although it's an educated one, that Kagome is pregnant."
"What?! That's impossible!"
"Calm down Inuyasha. We're going to do an ultrasound just to double check."
"You're not going to find anything anyway!"
Sesshomaru stood and led the small group to the ultra sound room, and Kagome lay on the bed lifting her shirt. Sesshomaru made sure it was on and ready and then put the warm jelly on Kagome's belly. Running the ultrasound over Kagome's belly he smiled for his sister in law.
"Well I was right. She's about three months pregnant judging by how big the embryo is."
Inuyasha leapt up so fast that he made Sesshomaru raise an eyebrow. "You slut! You god damn slut!"
"Watch your mouth Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru ordered him coldly.
"I'll say whatever the hell I want! You and I are though Kagome! You hear me? Though!" Inuyasha had been yelling this drawing everyone's attention to him. He stomped towards the door and turned to face Kagome. "You and I are over!"
Kagome looked towards the wall, she wanted to cry, to sob her eyes out. Inuyasha didn't want the baby they had worked together to create. She felt her whole world was crumbling down around her.
"Kagome." His smooth strong voice brought her back to the present.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome felt on the verge of crying. "Sesshomaruuuuuuuuu."
Kagome turned and hugged him, sobbing into his scrubs, he was her pillar of strength when no one else would help her. She felt alone except for him. He hugged her back and again regretted that she had fallen for his little brother and not him. He wanted to kiss, to lavish her in love so she would see she didn't need Inuyasha.
But he couldn't do that to her. He loved her, so he would take his time. He would do the mushy stuff if that's what needed to be done. He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her if he could do anything to stop it. He pulled back and looked her in those bright brown eyes that were always telling of her emotions.
"You want me to drive you home?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"What about…"
"Ah… I'm gonna be here til midnight tonight anyway. You'd be doing me a favor."
"Ok. But…"
"If you don't have somewhere to stay, you can stay with me. I'm going to get home and crash. You can have the guest bedroom. Do you need anything?"
"Just a few things from the house."
"Ok. We'll stop there and let you get what you need."
As Kagome started walking to the car, and the nurses saw Sesshomaru grabbing his car keys they all nodded because they knew what he was planning. Kagome sat in the car and cried silently Sesshomaru would look over to her from time to time, he knew he had to say something but what?
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru actually sounded sorry for her. "I had no idea he would react like that. Forgive me?"
Sesshomaru never seeked forgiveness from anyone before. But Kagome was special. He loved her with all his heart. Pulling into Inuyasha's small home he looked over at Kagome after turning off the car.
"Want me to go in with you?"
"N…No! Thank you. I can do it." Kagome got out of the car and walked into the house grabbing the necessities like clothes and toothbrush, and toothpaste.
After checking that she had everything she got back into the car and looked out the window again sobbing. When Sesshomaru reached his home He got out of his car after turning it off and went to Kagome's side opening her door. He gave her the key so she could enter the mansion and get settled down.
As he entered her room gently putting her things on the ground near the door he sat on the bed next to her. "Kagome." He rubbed her back gently.
"Look at me." Kagome gave a small laugh as she sat up carefully Sesshomaru still rubbing her back. "I'm a mess."
"I am looking at you. And I see a strong, smart, and brave women who's going to have a baby." Kagome gave a small smile and hugged him tightly. "And Inuyasha is not the last man you're ever going to love."
Kagome sobbed harder but they were tears of happiness. He was always there. Always willing to hear her out no matter what happened. He even stopped doing the job he had studied for years to help her. What was this feeling deep inside her chest. It was stronger than any feeling she had ever had with Inuyasha. What was it?
Kagome pulled Sesshomaru into a hug and he hugged her back squeezing her gently, but hard enough where she felt contained. Kagome had had a hard day and fell asleep in Sesshomaru's arms. As much as he wanted to hold her until she woke up, he had a job to do. Part of it getting ready to go to court so Kagome would never have to allow Inuyasha to see their kid.
When Sesshomaru arrived home at three in the morning and was hit by the aroma he loved, he smiled. Walking up to his room he saw that Kagome was out of the bed and in the shower. Yawning he walked into his room fell on his bed and went to sleep. Kagome got out the shower, dried her hair, and then rubbed her still flat belly. She couldn't believe there was a little baby growing inside of her, it was so exciting.
Walking into Sesshomaru's room quietly to grab her mirror she looked at his peaceful face and smiled. She walked up to him and kissed his cheek to thank him, then was going to leave when she found her hand in some else's and was pulled into Sesshomaru's arms.
Kagome smiled and hugged him back, when he pulled back a little he pulled her into a heated kiss. Kagome knew it was wrong and didn't know if this would hurt the baby, but she wanted him to take her. Bring her away from all of the wrong and pain she felt.
Pulling back so Kagome could get some air he looked into her dark brown eyes and she into his. "I love you Kagome." She gasped at Sesshomaru's proclamation. "I have ever since I first saw you."
Kagome pulled him into another kiss this time allowing him to explore her mouth and he allowed her to explore his. Pulling back Kagome looked deep into Sesshomaru's eyes and could see the love within them. She knew it took a lot for him to talk about his emotions, and if he told you something like that, you took it to heart.
"It's strange." Kagome gave a smile. "I think I love you too."
Smiling he pulled her into another huge kiss and just as he was bout to take a step further she pulled back and he held her hair while she vomited. Sure right now she seemed like she hated him but he knew otherwise. As she turned to face him he gently put one of his hands on her stomach which was still flat.
"Give your momma a break little one." Sesshomaru told the pup within Kagome.
Kagome smiled. He could be kind when he wanted to be, but he could also be stern when he needed to be. Smiling again Kagome looked at the time and giggled. She had to go sign the divorce papers, the thing that had made her cry a second ago. Now made her want to laugh. Besides she had to tell Sango. All of a sudden the door was opened and a little girl of about ten years old jumped onto Sesshomaru.
"FATHER!" She screamed as she hugged him and he tried to regain the breath she had knocked out of him.
"Hey Rin." Sesshomaru gave a small cough. "Where's Jaken? Your babysitter?"
"Hmmmm. Good question. Where is master Jaken?"
"Why don't you go find him?"
"OK" Rin smiled and went bounding out of the room.
"Sorry about that." Sesshomaru gave a smile as he got out of bed and worked on waking up.
"Father?" Kagome didn't know why but she felt her heart plummet to her stomach.
"Oh! I'm not her real father!" Sesshomaru told Kagome quickly. "She was left on my porch when she was three weeks old, and I took her in."
"OH. Well that makes sense. I have an adopted son too. Shippo. I'm heading to the mall after I meet Inuyasha and sign the divorce papers. Would you and Rin like to come? There's plenty of room!"
Sesshomaru looked at her then smiled, he had been thinking of a good way to explain the Inuyasha thing. "On one condition."
"What?"
"You say that you and Inuyasha broke up then tell them your pregnant."
"O…K?"
"I'll be the father to your baby. We'll tell them I'm the father. They don't need to have another reason to hate Inuyasha."
"Thank you!" Kagome pulled him into a tight hug which he returned.
Sesshomaru and Kagome walked down stairs holding hands, to go talk to Rin and Jaken. "Rin. Kagome has something to ask you."
Rin bounced over to Kagome and she kneeled down to Rin's level. "How would you like to meet my adopted son Shippo, and go to the mall with us?"
Rin bounced up and so many times Jaken yelled at her saying she was making him dizzy. "Rin would love that!"
"Rin." Sesshomaru told his adopted daughter sternly.
"Sorry I would love that." Rin corrected herself.
"Well we'll be right out, go ahead to the car." Kagome laughed as Rin bounded out of the house and towards the car.
"Sorry about Rin. When she gets excited she refers to herself in third person." Sesshomaru explained grabbing his keys, wallet, and phone. "I'm trying to teach her to call herself by I instead of Rin."
"I think it's cute." Kagome told him as they made their way to the door. "It makes her unique. Different."
Sesshomaru smiled and locked the house then opened the passenger side so Kagome could enter the car. Closed the door after she was in and got in on the driver's side. Backing the car out of the driveway he headed to his half brothers house. Parking the car Kagome told everyone that she would be just a minute then entered the house.
Upon exiting she was holding a folder that she handed to Sesshomaru and he looked over the papers. Within the folder was a paper Inuyasha had signed, stating that he forfeited ownership of Kagome's unborn pup. Sesshomaru smiled at Kagome and then put the papers back in the folder. Driving to the mall Kagome told him to, he parked the car near the malls entrance and helped get Rin out of the car. Jaken had a day off and so stayed home.
"I'll go get Shippo." Kagome told the group and walked into the mall.
Finding Shippo's babysitter Sango, her husband Miroku, and their three kids in the arcade she smiled and after greeting her friends went over to Shippo.
"You were good right?" Kagome acted like she thought he had been a bad boy, but in reality knew he was very well behaved with everyone.
"Yes momma!" Shippo told Kagome with a smile.
"I have a friend for you. Want to see her?" Kagome asked the now excited Shippo. "She's a year younger than you, so play nice."
"I will Momma."
"Ok. This way."
The small group followed Kagome and upon reaching Sesshomaru and the others Sango and Miroku smiled. Kagome introduced Rin to Shippo and Sango and Miroku's kids, they all ran ahead but within earshot of the adults. Sesshomaru held Kagome's hand and every once in a while she would squeeze it trying to hide the wave of morning sickness that was threatening to come out.
As they all sat at the food court they had a few conversations going. Shippo and Rin had become inseparable friends. But when Sango asked for quiet everyone quieted down. Miroku was happy that the entire group was together again. The group had never accepted Inuyasha he was always yelling profanities to Kagome and so the group didn't like him very much. They all awaited to hear Kagome's news.
"Inuyasha and I had a falling out." Kagome started but before they could say anything she cut in. "It's ok. I've moved on." The group sighed and under the table Sesshomaru had his arm around her waist and was gently rubbing her belly causing her to smile with glee. "I'm pregnant."
The group squealed and looked at Kagome hoping this wasn't a joke. Sango was the first to speak. "Who's the father?"
Before Kagome could answer the question Sesshomaru answered it. "I am."
Sango squealed again this time Shippo and Rin looked at Kagome. "We're going to be big brother and sister?"
Kagome gently rubbed both of their heads ruffling their hair. "Yes little ones."
Sango ran and hugged Kagome, followed by Miroku. The little kids all ran up and wanted to touch her flat belly. She allowed them telling them to be gentle. Kagome, and Sesshomaru stood and on their way to the next store Sesshomaru pulled Kagome into a family bathroom and pushed her into the wall gently but firmly kissing her.
