2 hours passed by slowly for Kagome while she wondered through his home, looking at the all pictures along the walls carefully.
Photos of the family lined the hallway, smiling Kagome reached up and traced the photo containing their old high school teacher, Rin, as she stood with Sesshomauru holding a small baby boy.
The next photos were a montage of a yearly posed photo of who she could only assume was his little nephew from the first photo, each photo he grew another year older.
At the end of the hall way was a collection of photos of an oblivious Inuyasha in his college days, posing with the college football team and the frat house he pledged himself into.
He looked happy and Kagome started to doubt her resolve to tell him, remembering the conversation in her father's office, clearly he didn't want any children yet and this would only cause him to become more of a jerk.
Running a hand over her lower belly she pulled herself from the photos and made her way back into the living room, heading for the kitchen she was amazed at its beauty.
Everything was black with perfect marble counters, dragging her fingers along the counter tops she made her way back around to the window to watch the city below again and wait for Inuyasha.
"So, I couldn't decide between restaurants, so I got both" Kagome was suddenly pulled from her daze and realized Inuyasha had been back and already had the table set for eating, how long did she zone out for?
Smiling at him she made her way over to the table and looked at all the food in front of her unsure of where to start "Good thing I'm hungry" she laughed at the rushing Inuyasha.
"Sorry I just didn't know if you would really still be here, so I was in a rush to make it back" he rubbed the back of his head before taking a seat across from her.
"I told you I was going to stay" taking a small bite of the sesame chicken in front of her "Not like I had any other plans anyways"
Leaning back in his chair Inuyasha started to eat the noodles in front of him and for a few moments they just sat in silence and continued to eat, they seemed like a normal married couple for a night.
"So how is you brother"
"Still married, enjoying the family life from what I can tell, they are happy, so he is happy" he stood taking his empty plate to the sink and returned to grab hers "How's your little brother doing?"
Lifting her plate up she placed it in his hands before standing and following him to the sink "well he is a current high school senior, soccer captain and finally has a girlfriend" she laughed at her own memories of high school.
"So he kept with the soccer thing, that's good maybe he will play in college too" Inuyasha turned the sink on and began washing the plates as she grabbed a towel and dried the plates as he washed them.
Cleaning the kitchen together was something she never pictured for them after their break up years ago, placing the last plate back away she turned and leaned against the counter facing him on the opposite side.
"You know you turned out pretty well" she met his eyes finally.
"You're not so bad yourself, I see the modeling thing took off for you, sure your sister liked that" he moved forward and leaned across the island in-between them.
"She was thrilled, even more so now that they are on baby number two" she stepped forward and leaned the rest of the way across the island.
Their lips were just a few centimeters apart "Kagome" Inuyasha broke her daze and she pulled her face back slightly.
"Sorry I didn't mean for things to go there" She looked away from him embarrassed of the situation.
Inuyasha felt the rejection in the room "I just don't want something to happen before we really figure this stuff out" he tried to clear the air hoping she would look at him again.
"I guess your right, like usual I'm the fool" She regretted it the moment she said it.
"Seriously Kagome, don't go there please" He walked around the island getting her attention "I just don't want to do something we will regret later" he didn't want to have another meaningless night with her.
Turning the tables quickly on him Kagome pushed him to the counter and trapped him between her arms, lifting on her toes she placed and simple kiss on his lips "Thanks for dinner Inuyasha, goodbye" she pulled away from him and walked out of the kitchen.
Inuyasha paused for a second regretting not kissing her himself and chased after her realizing she was already gone, punching the elevator doors "Damn Kagome I didn't mean it like that"
A single tear rolled down her cheek as she rode the elevator down, she felt silly for hoping things would have turned out better tonight. "Maybe I shouldn't have pretended to not remember" she cursed herself as she made her way out of his building and towards her apartment.
Laying in her bed that night Kagome started researching the best OBGYN in the city and read the reviews for each one, she didn't want to use the same doctor as her sister for media reasons.
Finally selecting the one to call Kagome shut her laptop and rolled over to get some much-needed sleep.
After that another two weeks seemed to just creep by and it was time for Kagome to finally meet her doctor face to face and get a due date.
Walking to the reception she checked herself in and waited to be called.
"Ms. Hirugashi?" and small petite lady called her from the door, swallowing her fear Kagome followed the lady into small room. Answering a few questions the girl quickly left leaving Kagome some draps to put on, changing and waiting on the small table she started to become nervous and scared.
"I'm sorry about that Ms. Hirugashi" a man about her same age walked inside the room "I'm doctor Kit, how are you feeling?"
"Well for starters please call me Kagome, and other then terrible morning sickness I think I'm doing alright"
"Alright Kagome, if you insist then you shall me Shippo" reaching his hand forward I shook his hand "well it says here your last menstrual cycle was about 2 months ago, so morning sickness should be ending really quick here"
"Good cause I can only dodge that question so many times" She started laughing
"Well give me a few moments here to check things out and we will get a conception and due date for you"
Laying on her back with her legs in the air Kagome gave him a few moments to check around her body before sitting up and letting him wash his hands.
"So Kagome it looks like your about 5 weeks along, so that makes your due date about June 20th, congratulations on your summer baby" he turned and smiled at me "so I'll let the girls up front know your ready and ill have your prescription for some prenatal vitamins up front" he gripped my shoulder and gave a warm smile before leaving the room"
Getting dressed I made my way out of the room towards the reception desk for the second time as the girl handed me some paper work "So Ms. Hirugashi it looks like we will want you back in about 2 weeks for your first ultra sound, do you want to schedule now or call back"
"Go ahead and do it now"
"does November 15th work for you?" she looked up at me overly happy.
"Perfect" I managed to say through my teeth as I grabbed the paper work from the counter ad turned to walk out of the building. Back inside my car I just stared down at my stomach "What am I going to do about you, huh" rubbing her belly she put her seatbelt on and made her way out of the parking lot.
AS Kagome pulled out she missed the black SUV that pulled in and parked just beside her.
"Dr. Kit Mr. Tashio is here for lunch" Shippo was pulled from his desk to answer the door to his long-time frat brother Inuyasha.
Welcoming his friend into his office he slipped his doctors coat off and followed his friend out for lunch.
"How's the ladies treating you lately" Inuyasha smirked at his best friend
"Trust me most of them are pretty well cleaned up down there, and that's all I can tell you" Shippo shut Inuyasha up real fast "How was the wedding?"
"Same thing different couple, it was pretty perfect actually, I was jealous of the two honestly"
"Why would you be jealous"
"Well with the whole arranged marriage thing I have I can't have the feeling of a real wedding; my bride hates me"
Shippo looked at his friend and for the first time in 4 years felt sorry for him.
"Yasha the girl can't hate you forever, eventually things happen" Shippo ordered his friend a drink of scotch to make him feel better "Besides she was your high school sweet heart right".
"The tragic tail of Inuyasha Tashio and Kagome Hirugashi continues, arranged marriage was just the silver lining" Inuyasha grabbed the drink and chugged it down quickly and realized his friend was just staring at him all bug eyed "Shippo are you ok" he waved his hands in front of his fiend's face.
"I'm sorry wait, Kagome Hirugashi is your finance?" Shippo was freaking out inside his mind.
"Yeah why? Shocked that I could get a model or something" Inuyasha really didn't understand why friend looked so nervous about it.
"Have you guys by any chance had sex say, in the last 5 or 6 weeks?" Shippo was sweating.
"She pretends like she doesn't remember but there was one night things went a little too far, why"
"Oh, just um curious, so when are you guys getting married" Shippo changed the subject quick.
