Month 6 part 2

"MYOGA!" Inuyasha roared running into his house and making his butler jump.

"Master Inuyasha? You're home early. What-"

"Cigars! Myoga, everyone needs a cigar! Right now!" He grabbed the old man and began dancing wildly and erratically with him.

"Master? What-? What's going on?"

"Cigars, old man! The cubans!" Inuyasha's smile was so big Myoga was sure it was about to break off of his face.

"The one's you save for special occasions?" Myoga asked as his master let him go and ran into the kitchen without answering him all the while calling out, "Jiji! Champagne! Everyone needs champagne! Right now!"

"Myoga."

He turned at the much calmer voice and smiled.

"Kagome. Oh, it's good to see you. My you've gotten big." He wrapped his arms around her in a hug. "How are you?"

"Wonderful." Her smile was wide as well but her excitement was clearly under control.

"So is all this because of you returning?" Myoga asked as Inuyasha ran back in and stuffed the flute of hastily poured champagne into the old man's hands.

Laughing and practically dancing, he ran upstairs to get the cigars.

"Not quite." Kagome laughed. "I came to the office and he felt the baby move."

"Oh, it moved."

"He." Kagome corrected happily as she stroked her stomach. "He moved."

"This does indeed call for champagne and cigars." Myoga smiled as Inuyasha came back downstairs with a box of hand rolled, premium blend, cuban cigars in his hand.

He passed them out as th others gathered in the front hall to find the source of the commotion.

"Kagome!"

"Hi, Tatsiki." She hugged her friend and he smiled as he had to lean over her ever-expanding belly.

"You look good." he said taking a sip of his bubbly drink. "And Inuyasha is damn near bouncing off the walls."

"Yeah." Kagome laughed.

"Does this mean he's forgiven you for the contract thing?" he asked.

Kagome shrugged. "I can't tell. Before I had a chance to find out I let him feel my stmoach and...He's been like this since."

Inuyasha was currently riding on the biggest high of his life.

In his office, he hadn't been able to speak while Kagome told him what she wanted, mostly because he was confused. Then she had taken his hand and touched it to her stomach. At first there was nothing. He had been confused, but only for a moment.

Because then he felt it. At first it was just a tiny, butterfly wing like stirring, but then there had been a more powerful movement, not poweful, but stronger than the first one.

At that moment it had all clicked. That thing his brain had been unable to accept was suddenly real to him.

Of course Kagome was pregnant, of course that was his baby growing in there, of course his son was real. It was all very real now. He could already see his boy being the soccer star of school or the genius on campus. He could see him taking over his company or maybe being a world renowned doctor or even a big hotshot lawyer! It didn't matter at that moment because he was having a baby! A son!

This had to be the greatest day of his life!

"Kagome!" He cried pulling her into his arms. He kissed her cheek, a more happy, playful kiss than passionate. "We're having a baby, Kagome! A real baby!"

Kagome laughed. "Of course we are. Inuyasha?"

"Oh, I can't wait to redo the new baby room!" he kissed her other cheek, his own were flushed with excitement and his hair was flying around his face. "Do you think we should do traditional blue? Maybe green? Or maybe it will be themed! Lke an animal! How about turtles? No, no, no! Elephants!"

"Inuyasha." Kagome laughed grabbing his face and forcing him to focus on her. No one else noticed them because they were all busy enjoying their sudden, and very decadent, day off. "Tell me, does this mean you've forgiven me?"

"For what?" he seemed confused then his eyes softened. "The contract? Kagome, it doesn't matter now. You're back, you're both back."

"You did hear what I wanted right?" she asked.

"Yes, and I totally agree. That yellow was hidious and I can't wait to see it go. Oh! Croccodiles! How about crocodiles?"

"Can you focus on something other than your son for a moment please?" she asked loving how enthusiastic he was.

But he only seemed to have heard two words of her sentence. "My son. I'm having a son."

"Inuyasha, did you hear what else I wanted?" she pressed. She had to know.

"Kagome, I'll take you to dinner every night if you want! And a movie every time you ask!" he was completely oblivious to what she meant.

"No, Inuyasha. When I said dinner or a movie I meant a date."

He didn't seem to hear her for a second, then his face turned serious as her words reached his over stimulated brain. "A date? But I thought you wanted things as they were?"

"I do. And I don't." she took his hand and held it between her own. "I know we're doing things out of order, Inuyasha. But...I want a chance to see if you are the one I truely love."

"What-?"

"I want to go on dates. Fairs, swim parks, walks on the beach, everything. So, maybe our program got a little jumbled and we jumped the gun." she put a hand on her stomach. "But I wouldn't have it any other way. Aren't you curious? Don't you want to know if I'm the woman you love? Because I think we have a chance. We lived together for months, expecting a baby, sleeping together, eating, living together. Please Inuyasha. It may not be traditional for me to ask but we're going at this back-asswards anyway so...Will you go out with me?"

"Well, well, Ms. Higurashi."

"Hello, Dr. Sholtz." Kagome smiled at him from her place on the table.

"You missed your appointment last month." he chastised with a kind smile.

"Sorry." She laughed. "I find out what my baby is from my family doctor. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all, dear. Whatever maked you happiest." he smiled and began writing on his clipboard. "And where is Mr. Takahashi this afternoon?"

"Oh, he's coming." Kagome assured him. "His staff meeting ran a little late but he was already on his way when I called him. He should be here soon."

"Good, good." He finished writing and looked up at her. "So, are you having your baby here or at your family doctor."

"Here." she said immediatly. "I love Keade but her little clinic isn't good for baby deliveries."

"Good." He smiled at her and made another note. "So, how about we get started and we'll save the sonogram until daddy gets here."

"Alright." Kagome said and tried to help him lift her own feet into the stirrups. It was getting harder to do.

"Sesshomaru, why are you hovering?" Rin asked. It was her favorite time of day again, something she had missed immesnly while on her trip. Sweeping and cleaning her salon while listening to music and dancing like she was crazy. She had been inturrupted by her darling fiance who hadn't spoken a word other than hello and a small peck on the cheek.

Normally Rin didn't mind people watching her dance, it didn't matter because she knew they danced just as insanely when no one watched but Sesshomaru was different. Rin was sure the only dance he knew was a waltz and he just stared at her. He barely moved or blinked just stared.

"I want to appologize for the other night." he said formally.

Rin rolled her eyes where he couldn't see. He was so damn formal even his appologies sounded like demands. 'Forgive me!' is closer to what he meant. Kami she loved him.

"Forget it. They're back together now and that's all that matters." she said sweeping those hard to reach hairs under her station.

"I do not mean I'm sorry for what I said to Inuyasha." he said walking over to her and taking the broom from her hands. "I couldn't care less about him. I am sorry that I upset you though. It was a dinner to congratulate our engagement and I ruined it for you. Forgive me."

Rin took her broom back and smiled. "Forget it. It's not important."

Before she could turn away Sesshomaru had grasped her arms and pulled her closer. "It was important to you. Forgive me."

She leaned up and gave him a quick peck on the lips, "I already have. I know you aren't your brother's number 1 fan and I don't care. You were just being yourself and I love you for that."

"Most women would be lecturing a man after that." he said cautiously. Well, as cautiously as Sesshomaru's deep voice ever got.

Rin shrugged. "It wouldn't do any good at all. We'd end up mad at each other and you would think you were the one who was right and your behavior wouldn't change anyway so...Let's just forget it."

"You are not like other women." Sesshomaru said his voice devoid of emotion but she could tell he was happy.

Sesshomaru kissed like no other. Not that she was a slut but Rin had kissed her fair share of guys. Even before she met Sesshomaru they had all fallen flat somehow. But Sesshomaru...

She shuddered when he drew his large hand slowly up her back and into her hair. Her tiny size made her have to angle her head nearly straight up to kiss him but it gave him a feeling of dominence over her that he had missed in the other leggy women with heels longer than their fingers.

Sesshomaru's kisses were long and slow, like he had all the time in the world to enjoy them. He didn't feast, he savored. Drew out each response from her with long, languid strokes. After kissing men who kissed like they had never done so before or would ever get to again, the slwo kisses Sesshomaru gave were even more wonderful. And he kissed like he meant it. Like you were the only girl he had ever kissed and ever would kiss again.

Rin was going to make she was the only one he would ever kiss.

When he pulled back neither of them were out of breath, his kisses were far too lazy and easy for that, but her face was flushed and his normally icy eyes burned with desire.

"When is our wedding going to be?" he asked running his fingers through her hair.

"What, you don't want to live in sin first?"

He leaned forward and nibbled on her ear driving all the clear thoughts from her mind.

"I'm old fashioned." he whispered before pulling back with a slight smirk on his face.

Kami he was evil and kami how she loved him.

"Inuyasha." Kagome smiled as Dr. Sholtz put her legs back down for her.

"Sorry, I'm late. Traffic was killer." he said as he grabbed her hand. "We seen the baby yet?"

"We were waiting for you. I'll go get the cart." Dr. Sholtz smiled and left.

Inuyasha leaned over Kagome and kissed her. Oh how he had missed the taste of her lips.

"I got the reservations as Shikon." he smiled brushing a piece of hair out of her face. "And Sango and Miroku agreed to go with us to the movies tomorrow."

"Thank you." Kagome smiled up at him.

Flashback

It may not be traditional for me to ask but we're going at this back-asswards anyway so...Will you go out with me?"

Inuyasha stared at her for a moment in disbelief. "But..." He seemed to be trying to collect his thoughts as Tatsiki turned on some music. "I thought we only wanted the baby. And it probably wouldn't work out anyways. I mean, what are the odds that the woman I got pregnant is the woman I'm supposed to love."

"Pretty good considering everything." Kagome smiled at him but he looked unconvinsed. "Inuyasha, unless you try we'll never know. Don't you want to find out so you wont look back and wonder what could have been?"

Inuyasha looked at her for a moment. "I'm not a very good boyfriend. My last girlfriend called me a cold hearted bastard who was way too arrogent for my own good."

"You are." Kagome agreed but she smiled at him. "And I wouldn't have you any other way."

"You'd love me for being an ass?" he seemed confused.

"You like some one for their good qaulities but you love them for their bad." she said. "I learned that from my mother. I nag, Inuyasha. A lot. I nag and often I'm repetative. But would you have me any other way?"

Inuyasha stared at her in thought.

Slowly, he smiled.

"I wouldn't change a damn thing." he said bringing her close. "And yes, I'll go out with you. Though I'm still mad at you."

Kagome smiled suggestively. "Anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Inuyasha smirked and they left the others to comtinue their impromtu party.

Normal

"Oh, mom invited you to dinner on Saturday." she said as Dr. Sholtz came back in.

"Well, let's see that bouncing baby...what was it again, Kagome?"

"A boy." she said looking at Inuaysha. "A beautiful little boy."

"I like the name Kouga." Kagome smiled and Inuyasha shuddered.

"No. I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. That name makes me want to punch something for some odd reason."

Kagome laughed.

They were enjoying a meal at Shikon, their first date, it was made funny by the fact that Kagome was pushing 7 months pregnant at this point.

"Well, what name do you like?" she asked enjoying the pasta on her plate. Italian was just so damn good!

"How about Hakudoshi?"

Kagome laughed. "Hakudu...Hakuna..." She laughed. "I can't even pronounce it."

"We could name it after my dad. Or your gramps."

Kagome shook her head. "No way. If we named him after Gramps he would expect him to follow in his footsteps."

"Not going to happen." They both said at the same time making each other laugh.

Damn her. Inuyasha thought. He was supposed to not be enjoying himself. His and Kagome's relationship had been based on sex before. Just sex and that had been easy. No commitment.

But a little part of his brain whispered that that wasn't true. Sure it was partially based on sex but it was also based on his currently nameless son.

That didn't count. The other part of his brain protested as Kagome thought about Inutaisho's name. That commitment was to his son, a commitment he had wanted to make. He hadn't wanted a wife and he certainly hadn't wanted a girlfriend. If Kagome didn't hate invasive medical procedures so much they wouldn't have even been connected by sex.

The other part of his brain told him that he was lying to himself. Even when he had first met her Inuyasha had desired Kagome. She was beautiful with a certain strength in her eyes that dared anyone to challenge her. It was an unresistable challange and sleeping with her that first night had been very easy.

Now, as women were seemingly preprogramed to do, she was complicating things. Turning their sex and shared parenthood into an actual relationship.

He should have gone down kicking and screaming, butted heads with her from the beginning. Yet, to his own surprise, he hadn't.

Shredding the contract had been easy. Feeling the baby and accepting it had been easy. And this date was easy. So easy it felt as natural as breathing.

He hadn't yet decided if that was a good thing or not.

Kagome walked into her and Inuyasha's house yawning, her feet hurting, and feeling positively bitchy. She was just waiting for someone to make one step out of line so she could rip them to shreds because she just felt in that kind of mood.

She doubted it was hormones, the doctor said those had evened out already, maybe she was just feeling bitchy.

Maybe it was because three different mothers, mothers of the bratiest children at the daycare to be exact, had all needed someone to stay extra late today. So after a day of dealing with screaching youngsters of varying decibels, she was given the three highest pitched most whiniest ones. She planned on praying tonight her son would be so much better.

She stopped in front of the door for a moment to stretch. She placed a hand on the small of her back and cringed. Backpain. This kid was still so small yet he seemed to wiegh a ton and the extra weight was hell on her back.

Planning on sitting down the second she could, she opened the door and looked into darkness which was odd because she knew Myoga wouldn't have turned the lights off yet.

Thinking the man was old and probably needed as much rest as her, she reached over and flipped the switch-

-and screached as a loud chorus of "SURPRISE!" rang out.

She jumped and placed a hand on her heart.

"Kami! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" she asked her heart racing and her adrenaline pulsing through her viens. Then she looked up and saw her surprise coronary welcoming commitee.

It was mostly girls. Rin, her mother, Sango, her friends from work, her friends from school, Sesshomaru sulking in the corner looking like he would rather be peeling his own skin than be here, Miroku smiling joyfully, Myoga, Jiji, Max, Tatsiki waving happily with a drink in his hand, some friends from her old nieghborhood, and even old lady Keade.

They were standing in a small field of baby blue and white confetti and above their heads on a great white banner were the words 'IT"S A BOY!' in the same blue. There was some music in the background and a table along the wall piled high with food. Italian, which Jiji had noticed her recent obsession with, and a bunch of pastries and cakes and tiny baby shaped cookies that were from the master desert chef Max covered in blue icing and sprinkles.

"What's all this?" Kagome asked laughing though her heart was still turned up full speed.

"Your baby shower of course." Rin laughed grabbing a flute of champagne that was only half full. "Here, this is all you get so make it last." She walked forward and handed it to her.

"Congratulations, honey." her mother said walking forward and kissing her cheeks.

"Come sit down." Myoga said pointing to a very comfy looking Laz-E-Boy in front of the stairs.

"Yeah, I'll rub your feet. It's been a while." Tatsiki winked.

A little in shock, Kagome took her champagne and sat down and let Tatsiki use his masterful hands to sooth her aching feet. All around her, her friends were laughing and talking and tossing around baby names.

"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked Max when he brought her a baby shaped cookie.

"Not invited!" Rin butted in, her face so happy her cheeks were turning red.

"Why not?" Kagome asked as Tatsiki put her shoes back on.

"Not guys aloud." she said firmly.

"Tatsiki? May I ask your gender?" Kagome said sarcastically.

"Haha." Rin mocked as Tatsiki chuckled. "He doesn't count, he's gay. Miroku is on Sango gaurd duty because she's PMSing tonight and you know how she gets."

Kagome lauhed. Sango brought PMS to a whole new level of misery and suffering. Not for herself but everyone else. Miroku seemed to be the only one who didn't mind.

"Sesshomaru is being punished for being rude. I'm not mad but yelling at him will teach him nothing you have to be cruel and unusual with him."

Kagome laughed and Rin kept speaking.

"Jiji and Max are here to keep us fat and happy so they're excused, and Myoga lives here so it's not like we could kick him out."

"Inuyasha lives here and you kicked him out." Kagome said taking a tiny sip of her rationed champagne.

"We did not." Rin said. "We just put in a little call to his secretary who agreed to find work he needed done today."

"Speaking of which." Myoga said at that moment with a twinkle in his eye. "Master Inuyasha has called to say he'll be late tonight and not to wait up."

Kagome laughed again and spent her night being pampered and loved and before she knew it her bitchy mood had evaporated.
