The mumbling woke her into a world of pain. She wished they would shut up. Sleep was nice. When she was asleep her head didn't hurt anymore, and neither did her heart. In her dreams she was with Motoko, and they were doings things that made them special. Sometimes they were roasting marshmallows, or she was curled up in her lap while Kagome told her interesting things. She and Motoko talked a lot about a lot of things, and it had created a very special bond between mother and child. In her dreams Kagome could touch her again. Without opening her eyes she began to cry. Curling her legs up to her chest, she wrapped one arm around them, and put her other hand to her head.
Someone noticed her. Someone noticed she had moved and she was crying from a pain that didn't have to do with her head. Someone had scooped her up and sat her in his lap, comforting her while she cried the tears of a mother who had buried her baby. Suddenly she didn't have the energy to cry anymore. Kagome's body became limp and her tears stopped. Not caring what was causing it she felt herself quickly fall back to sleep, and this time she didn't dream.
"How much of that are you giving her?" The medication the doctor was putting into her IV looked like a lot, and Kagome wasn't petite, but he didn't think she weighed enough for that amount of medication.
"Don't worry. I've given her enough that she'll sleep through the night but it won't harm her." Smiling, the doctor capped the needle and disposed of it in the biohazard container, then left.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, guilt flooding him until he choked. Wrapping himself around her he leaned back and slept, his hand on her belly.
