Kagome landed safe at the bottom of the well. She landed on her knee's, her eyes held great sock, confusion and pain. She held her tummy in with the flat palm of one hand, her other covered her mouth as to hold in a cry.

Was she really pregnant?

Of course she was, Sesshomaru never lied and was never wrong.

Sesshomaru.

Kagome looked up, was he still there?

"Sesshomaru" She whispered a tear finally falling down her face,

Her thoughts then went to Inuyasha, he hated her now, and what did her friends think? Kagome shook her head, this was so complicated and oh Kami how was she to explain this to her mother?

Kagome climbed out of the well and walked slowly to her house, her heart beating hard, she was so afraid, funny, she had not been this afraid of Naraku, but she was so afraid to tell her mother. Kagome opened the door to her house and then just stood there, she was unable to move anymore, her feet refused.

"Souta" She heard her mother call, "Is that you"

"Mom" Kagome whispered,

Her mother came out of the kitchen, she was wiping her hands on her skirt, "Oh, Kagome?" Her mother sounded worried.

"Mom" She whispered again, tears falling free down her face,

"Oh Kagome" She held her arms open and walked to her daughter "Kagome, do not cry"

But that was all she could seem to do, cry.

Both women sank to the floor.

"I'm so sorry mom"

Her mother patted her head "Oh dear Kagome, please don't cry"

Her mother was always understanding, always, it's where she got it from.

"Kagome, what ever it is, I'm sure everything will be alright" Her mother told her that many times when things went wrong with Inuyasha.

Kagome could not believe that "Not this" She looked down, she once again sat on her knee's, her mother mirrored her form.

"Kagome dear, you travel trough time, you have power, you heal people, you are no normal girl, I am so proud of you and your father, he would be proud to"

Kagome stared at her mother "So tell me, whatever it is you need to tell me, I can handle it"

Kagome blinked,

"Kagome, I let you skip school, I let you fight demons and I understand you need to be in the past, if I can handle that surly I can handle what ever this is"

But how could her mother, when she herself could not?

"Mom"

"Yes"

"Is it hard?"

"Is what hard?"

"Being a single mother?"

Kagome's mom smile "Oh Kagome, no, you and souta are the best children a mother could ask for, and yes at times it is hard, but it's nothing I can't handle"

Kagome was silent,

"Kagome?" Her mother held her chin to that her daughter would look at her.

It was a silent moment and then she understood.

"Is that was this is, about?" Her mother asked,

Kagome let more tears fall before shaking her head yes.

Her mother grabbed her daughter and held her tight. Kagome had gone through more than most would a in a life time.

"Inuyasha?" She question,

"No, no" Kagome muffled,

"Shh" Her mother rocked her "Kagome, this was ment to be and we will ge through this, please do not be sad"

Her mother looked up, praying to her husband above, she wished the Kami's would let her daughter be happy, she had seen her child hurt and cry too much. Her mother sighed, perhaps, this was a blessing, her own children made her happy, perhaps this child would bring her own daughter happiness.

Her mother held her tight, after all, a mother only wants to protect their children. Her life as well as her daughters had been complex and now all she wanted to do was hold her child, because she feared she would not get to hold her forever.

Kagome was put to sleep and her mother went back to the kitchen, she sat down with a cup of tea, she looked at it. Moments later she sighed and took a sip, she placed it down and then looked ahead.

"Will she be happy"

"I do not know" A man's voice spoke "As of yet, nothing has changed, she is here, I am there"

Her mother looked at the gold eyed man who was not Inuyasha.

She had been glad he saved her daughter, but angry that her daughter had not told her, but he then told her that her daughter did not know. She wondered why, why had he saved her and could he have done it another way, could he not just tell her daughter not to go?

She knew, Kagome could not leave her friends to fight without her, he knew that to.

"Do you love her" Her mother asked,

"Love is a human term" He stated,

"Do you care?" She then asked, he was a demon, could demons even love, would that not go against their being?

"Do not speak of me here" He told her, he had told her that the first time he came,

Her mother stood "Please" She said "Take care of her"

"She is the mother of my child, her life will be protected"

He left then and she looked after him, where he once stood "But, will your protect her heart?" Her mother could only hope.
