Chapter 4
It had only been a month since Kagome had gone to stay with Sesshomaru and she still wasn't showing even though her sickness had weakened. Shippo and Rin would play in the garden while Kagome would keep an eye on them. Sesshomaru seemed busy answering to letters and diplomatic messages. He still hadn't told the other Lords about already having a mate. He didn't want to deal with their mocking and rude comments. Even he knew he wouldn't control himself if one of them said something out of line about her.
About 2 weeks into another month and Kagome noticed she had a small bump. She guessed that she was about 4 months in human standards. So she would have the baby at the end of summer. She was craving things she knew wouldn't be available in the feudal era. She wanted to go home to eat, but knew Sesshomaru wouldn't like leaving her alone. He would often check on her and see if she needed anything. It was cute in a way and at the same time it made her sad that she couldn't talk to any of the servants.
At night she was so tired that she often fell asleep before Sesshomaru joined her. One night she stayed awake resting against him. "Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" Sesshomaru didn't realize the question was for him. "Hn?" She smiled and looked up at him, "Do you think it is a boy or girl?" He shrugged his shoulders at her question. He wouldn't admit he wanted a son. He brushed the thought off as he looked down at her noticing she had fallen asleep. He just held her close as she slept.
It was mid-summer and Kagome was starting to show more. Her stomach was growing quite large and the baby was starting to kick more. It felt odd to her, like bubbles in her stomach. Rin was amazed and always wanted to feel. When they were alone Sesshomaru would rest his hand on her stomach feeling his soon-to-be child kick against it. It had never felt anything like it and was curious. Kagome would tell him that it could hear his voice and hers. When she was asleep he secretly would talk to the baby still thinking of a son.
The leaves started to change colors and Kagome knew the baby would be born at any time. She asked Sesshomaru if she could have Sango there to help her since none of the servants were to talk to her. He agreed and had gone to get her. Sango was happy to see her. She hugged her careful of her belly, "Awe Kagome you look so cute!" Kagome giggled, "Thank you Sango. I thought you could help me when the baby came." Sango nodded, "I would love to." They had a quest room close to Kagome's so in case the baby came during the night it would be easier for Sango to reach her.
It was early in the morning when Kagome started to feel pain. She knew that having a natural birth was going to take longer and needed to stay in bed and try to relax. Sesshomaru was already up and had gone to get Sango. They had extra blankets and water. Sango made sure to keep her cool wiping the sweat off her head. Sesshomaru stayed out of the room until the baby was born. He went to go through papers as Sango tended to Kagome. It was a long day, but the baby was finally born after noon. Sesshomaru's ears caught the sound of tiny crying. He waited by the door for Sango to let him in.
After a few minutes Sango had gone outside and gave him a smile, "She's ready to see you." She stepped out of the way letting him into the room. He saw a very tired Kagome holding a bundled up blanket. She smiled up at him, "It's a girl." Sesshomaru didn't know what to say, but to move closer and look down at the bundle. She had very short white hair and tiny dog ears. Her eyes weren't yellow like his, they were a deep blue like her mother's. He sighed inwardly, glad that the baby didn't resemble his ignorant brother. Kagome nuzzled her gently, "Isn't she beautiful?" Sesshomaru nodded gently and used his typical 'Hn' response. "She needs a name." Kagome said looking her over. "Tsuki." Was the name that Sesshomaru said without a second thought. Kagome smiled nodding, "I think that fits her perfectly."
Sango smiled as she noticed Shippo and Rin were wanting to see. She knocked on the open door and Kagome looked up, "Yes?" Sango smiled at her, "I think Shippo and Rin want to see." Kagome giggled, "They can come in." Sango waved at them and they went in slowly. Kagome held a hand out to them, "Come see your sister." Rin and Shippo smiled big and went to her side and looked. Kagome showed them her little face and Rin giggled, "She's so cute!" Shippo looked up at Kagome, "What's her name?" Kagome looked down at the infant, "Tsuki." Rin smiled big, "I like that name." Kagome giggled and yawned. Sesshomaru looked at them, "Let her rest now." They nodded and left the room. Sesshomaru touched her head, "Rest now. Sango will watch her." Kagome nodded and let Sango take the baby from her. She closed her eyes relaxing as Sango took her to her room. Sesshomaru didn't expect it would be a girl and wouldn't admit he was happy about it. He would train her to fight and be strong. There would be no other option.
Author's notes: hehe I had to make it a girl! I'm very satisfied with the name I chose. I'm sorry if I mispelled anywhere. I get too excited when I type. If you have any opinions or additions let me know. Thank you to everyone who left reviews!
