Ch.3
I am three months pregnant, the equivalence of four and a half months for a human woman. I recently found out that demonic pregnancies are accelerated. I almost fell when I heard that. Inuyasha is still trying to get me to transfer the child to him.
I have figured out the reason: He's worried about my safety. I asked Abe what could happen, and he said that I probably be able to handle the pregnancy like Inuyasha could. Apparently, if the child is developing claws while in the womb, the child could tear up my insides. Inuyasha would be able to handle it because he's a demonic with claws.
Naturally, I'm stubborn. If the baby growing inside me might end up tearing me apart, it would be an ironic way to die. I hear Inuyasha enter the room we share. I look to see that he's holding a bowl of nachos and a container of chili; my favorites.
"I come bearing peace offerings." He said with a smile.
I grinned. I had craved my favorites lately. I was glad that my morning sickness had passed a couple of weeks ago. I gratefully took the nachos and chili.
"Thanks." I said, happily.
"Not mad anymore?" Inuyasha cautiously asked.
"Not really. I get it, you don't want me to get killed." I replied.
"Even knowing what could happen, you still want to go through with the pregnancy?" Inuyasha asked.
"Can't say I've never lived a life without risk. I enjoy the thrill that comes with a probability of getting killed." I reply with a smirk.
"You are something else. I'll quit bugging you about it, then." Inuyasha said.
"Thank you! Is that really a pain to do?" I retorted.
"Can I help it if I don't want you to get hurt?" Inuyasha questioned.
"I guess not." I relented.
We ended up laying next to each other, just cuddling. Inuyasha's head ended up on my growing stomach. I was content to lay there with Inuyasha listening to my stomach. I felt a sharp nudge.
"Inuyasha, did you feel that?" I asked excited.
"Uh-huh!" Inuyasha said in awe.
We both grinned. Our baby was moving around! I am glad that he or she is kicking. I think Inuyasha is happy about that too.
I can't wait until the baby gets here. I want to be able to hold him or her close. The birth itself is what I'm worried about. I can tell Inuyasha is not looking forward to the birth either.
"Thinking about names?" Inuyasha asked.
"Haven't thought about it. If it's a boy, I want to name him Trevor, after my adoptive father. I don't know about if it's a girl." I said.
"I was thinking Tashio if it's a boy, Izoyai if it's a girl. If it's a boy, we'll have to compromise." Inuyasha replied.
