Prologue
Inuyasha paced back and forth outside of Kagome's bedroom. He could hear the screams coming from within and found it nearly impossible to stop himself from rushing in there. 'Sango is in there with her, so is Kayade.' He reminded himself.
"Inuyasha will you sit still? You're making me nervous." Miroku said from his sitting position about three feet away from the door.
"I can't stand not being in there with her!" Inuyasha yelled as he punched a hole in the floor.
"Calm down Inuyasha, I'm sure she will be fi—" He was cut off as a blood curdling scream issued from inside the room.
"That's it I'm going in there!" Inuyasha said before he determinedly marched towards the door.
"Inuyasha no!" Miroku lunged forward to tackle him when all of the sudden—
"Waaaaaah!"
Inuyasha froze where he was standing, right inside the doorway looking at Kagome and the little bundle in her arms.
"Is, is that…?" He whispered quietly.
Kagome looked up at him with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. "Yes, it's our daughter, Inuyame."
"Inuyame." Inuyasha said in a hoarse whisper as he knelt beside Kagome. Inuyame looked up at him with a toothless grin and amber-colored eyes as Inuyasha took of his robe of the fire-rat and laid it on top of her. "My daughter."
Just then Sango left the room and they could hear her scream to all of the villagers waiting outside "It's a girl!" Everyone cheered and shouted their congratulations into the door. Kagome smiled and held Inuyame out to Inuyasha. Inuyasha shook his head, his eyes wide with fear. "Go on, it's okay." Kagome said and smiled, placing Inuyame in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha looked down with wonder and amazement at how such a tiny beautiful baby could belong to him.
"My little Inuyame." He whispered as he stood up and carried her to the door. When he reached the doorway and held her out to show her to the masses, he was met with cheers and shouts of laughter. Later that night, Kagome and Inuyasha fell asleep with Inuyame in their arms between them.
