Chapter Nine

From Above

An Inuyasha Fanfiction

By Momoe


Things between Sesshoumaru and I have been no less than perfect. He actually changed his schedule to make sure he would be home before 8:00pm every night and he always made sure to take the weekends off. He told me he wanted to be there to see my stomach grow. He didn't want to miss a thing. He was already acting like a wonderful father. It was something that didn't surprise me, I always imagined him to be this way, but what I didn't expect was how devoted and enthusiastic he was.

I had put on some more weight and my doctor was extremely happy with how I was coming along. I was no longer underweight and my baby was healthy as can be. I just entered my second trimester and we decided to find out the gender of our child as soon as we could. I had already started to show. My normally flat stomach small had a distinct lump in the center now, thankfully I still fit into my normal clothes but that would change soon. Sesshoumaru would spend every night talking to my stomach for a while and rubbing it. He wanted to be there the first time our baby kicked.

Sesshoumaru and I discussed it a lot. He wanted to move into a house but I absolutely loved our apartment. I talked him into letting us keep the apartment. Right after we started dating I moved into his room, all my things were now in there and we cleared out all my stuff to prepare for the baby's room in my old room.

It was snowing again today when I pulled my car into the parking lot of Sesshoumaru's law firm. I had a lunch date with him and packed us some homemade ramen. When I walked in Kagura was sitting at her desk glaring at me. I didn't give her the time of day anymore. I had my man and she lost to me. I took my coat off and hung it up on the coat rack by the front door. I had on a tight dress, I liked the bodycon dresses and I wanted to wear them as often as I could while I still can feel comfortable. I saw her eyeing my stomach. It was noticeable to some, but not all. I recently started placing my hand instinctively under the small bump in my stomach.

"So someone knocked you up?" She said rudely with a glare and I let out a small laugh. She was immature, but i was thankful. because of her I realized I was in love with my boyfriend. Sesshoumaru stomped out of his office angrily at that moment. He started yelling something at Kagura but then when he saw me, his eyes changed. He walked over to me and gave me a hug. He placed his hands on my stomach.

"How are you two doing?" He asked with a smile. I glanced over at Kagura who had her mouth hanging open, She must have connected the dots. I gave her a smirk before answering Sesshoumaru.

"Just great." I smiled and Sesshoumaru took the bag I was carrying out of my hand. "Just a little hungry today." I laughed and he took my hand and lead me to his office. He sat beside me as we ate. He complimented my food and we chatted happily as we ate.

I had no idea that I could feel so much love from someone. He made me feel needed and wanted. After we finished eating he got a very serious look on his face.

"I've decided it is probably a good time to let my mother know what is happening." He said. "She will find out eventually." I nodded he was right. I was scared of her. The one time I met her she made it very clear to me that I was not allowed to hurt Inuyasha's feelings or else my world would be hurt. I wasn't sure what she would do but I know she has connections.

"how are we going to do this?" I asked slowly, biting into an onigiri I brought for, I was eating more than I normally did.

"I was thinking we do dinner tonight." I nodded, he looked nervous. "I'm going to tell her about Inuyasha and his double life, about his child, and then I'm going to explain our relationship to her and tell her you are carrying my child." I nodded.

I was scared but it sounded like the best option we had. It was a lose-lose situation. If we didn't tell her, she would be mad. If we do tell her, she'll be mad. I was anxious.

"Don't worry, babe." Sesshoumaru grabbed my hand. "I promise everything will be okay." I nodded. "Plus if you worry it will be bad for the baby." He was right. I had to try my best as a mother for our child. Our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. Kagura poked her head in.

"Your appointment is here, Sir." She said in an angry tone. It was time for me to go then. I gathered my things and Sesshoumaru gave me a big hug and a kiss before I turned to leave. Kagura lead me out.

When I was standing in the lobby and putting my coat on Kagura sat at her desk, glaring at me.

"So did you two start dating before or after her knocked you up?" Was she really going to try to pick a fight with me? I smiled at her as I finished putting my coat on.

"Well, Kagura, that's absolutely none of your damn business, now is it?" I smiled. She gawked at me, I guess she wasn't use to people talking back to her.

"Well didn't you date him younger brother that died? Isn't that kinda fucked up that right when he dies you go off and hump his brother." She gave me an evil smile. I deepened my smile and placed my hand on the underside of the little lump in my belly.

"Kagura, you don't know what happened and it's kind of ridiculous for your to be sticking your nose into my situation. It's none of your business and are you really so bored that you actually care about what I'm doing?" She glared at me. "I know you have a thing for Sesshoumaru. Don't deny it, but you lost. Give up, get over it, and frankly… you have some growing up to do." I smiled at her one last time and then left. She looked pissed and deep down I felt wonderful for what I said to her.

I know from the outside it might not seem right, Sesshoumaru, myself… our baby. But not everyone knows my story and I don't need to explain my reasoning or myself to anyone.


Sorry for the shorter chapter, originally I was going to end this story on the next chapter but I don't want it to end yet, so I'm going to work some more things into my story line! :3
