Gaara
Kagome sat quietly on her bed and threw the small object in the garbage.
Rolling over in her bed, she sobbed and curled up, crying herself to sleep.
A few hours later, Kagome is shaken awake and found Gaara hovering over her. "G-gaara what is it?" She asked curiously.
"Why...Why didn't you tell me, Kagome?" He asked her and she looked down, spotting the test held in his hand.
"I was afraid of how you would react" Kagome answered truthfully as her eyes welled with tears.
Gaara leaned over her and kissed her passionately. "So you want it then? The baby I mean" She asked. "Yes, Of course I do" Gaara answered and a rare smile twisted on his lips.
9 months later...
Kagome gave birth to a baby boy that could have been Gaara's twin. He had the same teal eyes and blood red hair. They named him Mamoru.
Kankuro and Tamari accepted her as their younger sister and escorted them home from the hospital.
Alone in their house they headed towards their bedroom with Mamoru in Kagome's arms.
She sat down on the bed, cradling their son and Gaara sat opposite her.
Kagome looked up at him. "Gaara? Gaara would you like to hold him?" She asked. Kagome frowned as uncertainty and fear flashed in Gaara's eyes. He had not even touched the child at the hospital.
"What if I hurt him? He is so small and fragile" Gaara whispered uncertainly. Kagome smiled at him and placed his son in his arms.
She adjusted his hands so that they supported Mamoru's head and watched as happiness and pride filled Gaara's eyes.
"He is so innocent" Gaara whispered as the baby opened his eyes and looked up at Gaara.
Gaara smiled down at his son and the baby blinked before snuggling back into its blankets comfortably.
Kagome laughed and Gaara chuckled as Mamoru went back to sleep.
