AN: Okay well here is chapter 3 for Child Labor. Sorry for the wait. I had a lot of personal problems that came before this. Well review.


As soon as my mom parks the car I jump out. I'm just so ready to know! I wonder if it's going to be a girl or a boy.

We all walk into the small building. Inuyasha and mom take their seats as I sign in. While waiting, my mother and I skim magazines as Inuyasha texts. Finally the nurse practitioner walks through the door.

"Kagome," she calls.

The three of us stand up. "That's me," I say. She smiles at me.

"Okay well just follow me."

She lets us in the door and takes my weight. Then we're led to a room with the sonography machine. I remember my first sonogram. They had to stick the probe up my you know what! Not what I expected. Thankfully they don't do that anymore. Not only is it physically uncomfortable, but it was really awkward to have the lady do that while Inuyasha was in the room.

As we wait for the sonographer to walk in there is a knock on the door which my mother answers. It's Inuyasha's parents. His mom, Izayoi, and father, Toga, walk in the room.

Izayoi rushes over to me. "Kagome, how are you?"

Inuyasha rolls his eyes. "Hi mom." Then his father starts speaking with him about something. I can't, I'm not listening.

"I'm fine. A little nervous." I finally answer the woman.

We all just engage in idle chit chat for about five more minutes before the sonographer walks in.

"I'm sorry about the wait all. Just got a bit caught up from the patient before." She walks over to me and asks a few questions to confirm that I am the right person. Then she dims the lights and brings the machine towards the bed. I lift up my shirt and she squirts some cold jell on my stomach.

As she reaches for the machine I feel Inuyasha take my hand. We look at each other as the woman looks for the image we're all looking for. He takes his eyes off of me to watch. As I stare at him I think back on everything we'd been through. I'd have never expected us to be here any time soon. Most people didn't expect us to be together at all by now.

I see his eyes widen and turn my head towards the machine. There's my baby. So big now. I smile wide. The sonographer points out the body parts and leaves what we're all waiting for as the last thing. Finally she directs our attention to the certain area of the body.

"Congratulations, it's a girl." She smiles at me.

A girl. A girl! I'm having a daughter. I can hear everyone talking about it but their words blur. All I can focus on is my little baby girl. I can feel the tears prickling at my eyes.

The appointment is over and everyone leaves for the waiting room. Inuyasha stays with me while I speak with the doctor. As we wait for him to arrive I turn towards him.

"So what do you think?" My vocabulary has incredibly shrunken with the experience.

He turns over to me. "I think I love you." We smile and he moves over to give me a kiss. Then another. Then a couple more. Soon we're making out! How bad we are.

He breaks the kiss. "Thank you. For giving me the best thing anyone could ever give me."

Who was this guy and what did he do with my boyfriend? Whatever, I like this new one better. "Hmm," I smile, "Your welcome."

The doctor walks in. We discuss the pregnancy. Then Inuyasha and I leave to meet up with the rest of the family. We get our congratulations from his parents and then Inuyasha, and my mother and I leave for my house.

On the drive home my mother tries making small talk: another effort to get along with Inuyasha. He knows the game well. "So now that you both know it's a girl, do you have any names picked out?"

He looks up from the phone. We exchange glances and I sheepishly answer, "No." In fact Inuyasha and I never mentioned names yet.

I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 13 weeks. I never had any of the symptoms. Just the missed period. At first I thought it was no big deal, but after skipping the amount I did I decided to go to the doctors. They suggested that I might have been pregnant. I was shocked to find the results. Inuyasha was not happy when he found out. Actually he was mad at me. Seriously, he was mad, at me! As if I made it happen. Well after a couple more weeks he got over it and finally acted like he should. But this is old news. Anyways, we never got around to mentioning the names yet.

We make it back home and my mother drops us off to buy groceries. Inuyasha and I walk in and go straight to my room. I'm so exhausted. I think it's a perfect time for a nap. I lie on the bed and Inuyasha joins me, his hand rest on my abdomen.

"You know," I start lazily, with my eyes closed, "I'm still a little mad at you for earlier today."

He leans his body lower to kiss our baby. "Why?"

"For smoking." I crack an eye open to look at him.

He rolls his eyes. "Get over it." Then he leans back next to me to take a nap himself. Or just to think. I never know which one.

"Inuyasha!" I sit up and stare at him. Doesn't he get it? "I don't understand, you didn't even smoke in the beginning of our relationship. And now we're going to have a child and when you really need to be more responsible than ever you do the complete opposite."

His lips tighten before he speaks. "Damn it Kagome. Maybe if you didn't stress me out so fucking much I wouldn't have started then." He gets up and starts to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"To smoke." He closes my door behind him. A few seconds later I hear the front door open and close. Then I look out my bedroom window to see him get into his car and speed off. What a jerk. He so selfish!


The next morning I wake up in a horrible mood. I'm still upset over what happened yesterday. Inuyasha owes me an apology.

Five minutes after the time for him to be here I hear a beep. It's his car. I grab my stuff and leave. When I get into the car I notice the empty back seat.

"Sango is getting a ride with Miroku today." He already knew my question.

The ride to school is silent. I've decided to just give him the silent treatment. When we pull up to the entrance I move to get out, but Inuyasha's hand grabs my arm.

"Kagome."

I glance his way.

He sighs. "I'm sorry."

I let out a breath as well. There Inuyasha, was it that hard?

His arm pulls me towards him. "Will you stop now?" he was referring to the silent treatment. He isn't as dumb as people take him for. Okay well…we'll not get into that debate.

I look over at him. Honestly, even if my head is mad at him, my heart still wants him. So I give him a small smile.

He grins and grabs my chin, pulling me forward for a kiss. Inuyasha doesn't kiss me softly, but more possessively. He usually does that after any dispute that we have. I guess it's like gaining his pride back. I don't know and I don't care. I like it when he kisses me like that.


School went by slowly; Sango didn't get a ride from Miroku. Apparently she slept over his house and decided to just skip school.

When I'm finally done I walk outside to find Inuyasha. Strange thing, he isn't here. Just like him to be late.

Twenty minutes pass. Nothing. Most people have already left. I call his phone for the fifth time. Finally he answered.

"Hello?" he sounded impatient.

"Inuyasha?" what's going on? Doesn't he realize he's supposed to be here?

"Shit, Kagome?" a pause, "Fuck! I'm sorry. I'm at my house right now but I'll be over in like a half hour."

"Half an hour?" that makes no sense. "Inuyasha it's a fifteen minute drive from your house. What's supposed to take you so long?"

"Don't worry about it." He hangs up on me.

"Wow." I say out loud. What kind of boyfriend forgets about his pregnant girlfriend and then when he finally remembers tells her to wait a really long time?

Finally Inuyasha pulls into the empty parking lot. He's speeding and his tires squeal a bit when he stops at the edge closest to me.

I get in the car and look at him. "What were you doing?"

He has his glasses over his eyes and shrugs his shoulders. "Nothing." He proceeds to drive away.

"Then why did you forget me? And why did it have to take you forty minutes to get here?" I give him a piercing stare. He ignores me, not wanting to answer. As I look at him I notice the faintest red mark on his neck. I don't need anyone to tell me what it is. I don't say another word to him and just stare straight ahead.
