Growing up is so mundane

by Jessica Valentine

Everyone is adjusting to married life and parenthood. Sesshomaru is cursed because of his past actions, and finds himself needing help from his brother and his new wife, Kagome. Takes place after the end of the final act. I guess this is my coming out of retirement fic. I'm a tad rusty. It's been 7 years since I've written anything.

4. Chapter 4

Kagome cried silently into InuYasha's back. The trees blurring past. This was not supposed to be how their day ended. "Do you think its true. What the witch said?" Kagome asked. InuYasha's ears flattened against his head.

"I don't know., but I know who might." He replied. They reached Kaede's home in half the time it took to leave it.

"Where's Lord Sesshomaru? " Rin asked running out to greet them. Kagome burst into tears. InuYasha sighed.

"He's in Kagome. He's a baby, and he's growing in there." InuYasha explained. Rin's eyes bugged out.

"Ve he demon or human?" Kaede asked walking from the garden with Miroku. InuYasha turned to the old priestess.

"Demon I guess. The hag told Kagome she was pregnant with a taiyoukai. Is that bad? What's going to happen to Kagome?" InuYasha asked suddenly worried. Kaede sighed.

"Dog demons as with normal dogs have a much shorter gestation period. Sesshomaru will be arriving in three or four months. Kagome already looks much further along than when you first arrived." Miroku explained. They all looked at Kagome.

"This is going to hurt." She said. After they were assured that Kagome should be fine they went home. InuYasha laid his head over Kagome's belly and listened. Ge looked up with wide astonished eyes.

"I I can hear him. His heart is beating so fast!" He exclaimed. Kagome smiled and ran her fingers through his hair.

"You don't think that horrible woman trapped his conciousness again do you? I'd hate to think of him floating around in there going crazy." Kagome whispered. InuYasha rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling.

"I don't know. I hope not. My worry is how are we a human, and a half demon supposed to raise a taiyoukai? He obviously didn't grow up being showered by love." He replied. Kagome sighed and snuggled into his side.

"You know, we already have two kids now. Rin and Shippo. Little Rin has no body but us. Same with Shippo. I've been so blind InuYasha. We have a beautiful family already. If we have one of our own he or she will have two big demon brothers to watch out for them. Myoga needs to hurry up and get here." She said. InuYasha kissed her forehead.

"He won't show up in the winter. Let's get some sleep.." He said.
