Will You Bare My Children?
---------------------------------
"YES!" Sango exclaimed as she threw herself into Miroku's arms. "Yes, I will marry you!"
"Really!? And you'll bare my children? Ten babies? Maybe even twenty?"
"OF COURSE I WILL!" She started kissing him and hugging him tighter. Her plan was working! And hopefully, Kagome's dreams were coming true as well.

Later that night, Sango couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop staring at the ring Miroku had given her. It was so beautiful. She noticed that the light was in in Miroku's room. She got up, straightened her hair and politely knocked on the door. "Come in," Miroku said. Sango opened the door and walked inside, wrapping her arms around him from behind. She noticed that he had a long list that he was writing out. "What are you doing Miroku?"
"Thinking of names."
She noticed just how many names he had though of. "Why so many?"
"For our twenty children, of course."
She froze for a moment. "Our twenty children… of course!" She chuckled nervously. "Oh my God! He was serious!?"
Miroku thought for a moment. "If we get married in a month, we can try for our first child the month after that. After the baby is born, we can wait another three months until you're able to again. And then, we can try again. By my calculations, we should be done having children in about twenty years."
"Twenty years? You mean, I'm gonna be pregnant none stop for twenty years?"
"Pretty much."
Sango could just see it. She would be as big as a house, she would get fat, she would have terrible back pain, she wouldn't sleep at night, she would have hunger cravings -- it was going to be terrible! She was a missionary's assistant, not a baby factory! What was he thinking!? "Um, Miroku, I think we should talk."
"About what, my darling little strawberry blossom?"
"Um, well… I honestly think that twenty children is a bit much."
"Oh?"
"Yes. I mean, think about it! We'd need a huge place to live. And babies are terribly expensive! I'm just not sure we can handle it."
Miroku sighed and nodded. "Alright, Sango. I understand. We won't have twenty children."
She sighed with relief.
"We'll have nineteen. That's reasonable, right?… Sango? Where are you going?"
"I need to make a quick trip to see Shoga. I'll be right back." She calmly exited the room, but took off running down the hall to Shoga's room. "SHE BETTER HAVE AN ANTIDOTE!"
