Chapter 11

There were butterflies in her stomach; their wings movingrapidly, fluttering against the inside of her belly. She pressed her palm on her swelling abdomen, rubbing soothing circles. At almost four months, Kagome was surprised to feel her baby move inside her, her bump was still so small she didn't look pregnant at all. "Rin!" Kagome called out with a huge grin on her face.

"What happened?" Rin answered, walking into the living room where her girlfriend was lounging.

"I felt the baby!" Kagome said thrusting her stomach towards the other woman. "It feels like little butterflies, come feel." Rin placed her hand on Kagome's stomach, her eyebrows tensing with concentration.

"You sure it's not gas cause I don't feel a thing. Anyways aren't you a little early to be feeling the baby?"

Kagome frowned, touching her stomach again. "No I feel it I swear." Rin had come home about a month ago and after 2 months of being out of the house they were still trying to find their ground with each other. "Sesshomaru come see if you feel it." Kagome said, her mouth pulled into a frown. Sesshomaru looked up from his place on the recliner, putting down the book in his hand to sit beside her. She waited patiently ignoring Rins huff of annoyance when he moved his large hand across her bare stomach.

"Hn." Sesshomaru grunted before going back to his place on the recliner.

"Sorry, still trying to learn how to speak Sesshomaru, could you elaborate?" Kagome complained.

"I can feel the pup. I can hear it's heartbeat." Sesshomaru said staring at his book longingly.

"Wow I knew it, that means he's pretty strong already!" Kagome squealed getting up and grabbing at her phone. "I have to call Sango."

Rolling her eyes Rin settled her gaze on Sesshomaru. He was so irritating sitting there all stoic and shit like he hadn't just one upped her once again. Ever since she came back from her Kagome hiatus, she noticed that the two of them had become pretty chummy. They seem to always be within proximity of each other. He rarely stayed holed up in his room anymore. The touches were worse, they were subtle so you wouldn't noticed if you weren't looking for them but he would casually touch her wrist or arm every couple hours. She wanted to clock him every time Kagome looked to him for council. He always had an answer to make her face light up. All she ever seemed to do was make her frown now and days. The buzzing from her phone pulled her from her thoughts. Eric's name lit up her screen, she pressed ignore, still unable to face him after what happened.

"Babe, I don't feel like cooking. Want to go to Romanos tonight?" Kagome asked texting rapidly.

"Sure hun."

"Great, we're gonna meet with the group." Kagome said walking over to the bathroom to get ready. "Sesshomaru you're coming too, so don't even think about disappearing!"

Sesshomaru froze mid-walk, eyebrows twitching in irritation.

Kouga, Inuyasha, Sango and their spouse's were already seated at the table when they arrived. Rin clenched her fist at the sight of that wolf. She hadn't seen him since that night and she wasn't looking forward to sharing a meal with him.

"Hey guy's!" Kagome grinned, greeting each of them with a kiss on the cheek. "Sorry we're late. Sesshomaru took a little persuading."

Inuyasha's head shot up, eyes moving nervously. "You invited him to dinner?" He asked his voice going up an octave.

"Yes Inuyasha I did, is that a problem, did I break a rule?" Kagome froze in her seat waiting for his reply.

"Um, no you didn't, just wanted to know is all." Inuyasha said flagging down a waitress "Can I get a jack on the rock's?" Inuyasha asked ignoring his wife's pointed stare.

"What did you do?" Shiori whispered to him, her lavender eyes bright with anger. "Did she say Sesshomaru? As in your brother SESSHOMARU!"

He quickly placed a hand on her thigh squeezing tightly. "Hun do me a favor keep your voice down."

Sesshomaru walked in the room just then, pausing to sniff out the people at the table, stopping on his brother and his wife. Deciding to ignore them, he went to sit at Kagome's left side.

"Okay so everyone this is Sesshomaru, my baby daddy as I have affectionately nicknamed him. Sesshomaru this is; Kouga, Ayame, Miroku, Sango, and you know Inuyasha and his wife Shiori." Inuyasha nearly choked on his drink while the rest of them mumbled their greetings. Kagome shot them a strange look before she began ordering her meal.

"I can't believe THAT'S the job you got him, and you haven't told her that her baby's going to be your nephew?" Shiori spat in his ear, nails digging into his palm. "Mark my words, shit is about to blow up tonight."

This was all just a bit awkward. Its been 20 minutes already and with the exception of Sango, no one had said a word.

"Is everything alright, cause everyone's a little quiet." Kagome complained. She watched as everyone avoided her gaze, picking up silverware or glasses.

"Everything fine." They all said at once which had Kagome eyebrow rising in suspicion. But before she could start her interrogation she was interrupted by a young blonde woman stumbling to the table. Kagome watched her hands as they grabbed at Rin.

"Oh my god, where have you been Rin?" Her drawl was thick and southern. Rin eyes widened with recognition, facing forward, eyes low and back stiff. "Hey I'm talking to you, gosh darnit, she's so rude!" The blonde said turning to Kagome in frustration. Kagome covered her face trying to block out the smell of cheap beer and whiskey.

"I'm sorry she isn't usually like that." Kagome replied gently shaking Rins shoulder in concern.

"You think after fucking someone for 2 month's you'd have the decency to fucking say hello bitch." Kagome dropped her hand as if burned, turning to look incredulously at the woman in front of her.

"Excuse me?" Kagome said standing in front of said the blonde.

"Oh my goodness, are you her girlfriend? Well you and I, we're better off without her hunny!" She said patting Kagome's shoulder in drunken condolence. Kagome slapped her hand off of her, turning to Rin with tears in her eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Kagome whispered looking down at Rin who still couldn't meet her gaze.

"She's such a bitch, she said she broke up with her girlfriend, said she loved me, such a liar. Then I woke up one morning and bam she was gone. No explanation just gone. My names Shirley by the way." She reached out to touch Kagome again and Kagome slapped her hand away for the second time.

Before she could continue her drunken rambling Kagome yelled, "Could you please just stop talking and leave!"

Shirleys face purple with anger set her red lips to a frown, "Fuck you, I was trying to help." Shirley spit out pushing Kagome backwards. Kagome stumbled back feeling large hands reaching to steady her. Looking up she found Sesshomaru standing behind her. Kagome caught his eyes before cocking her hand back and punching Shirley in the face. "You bitch!" Shirley screamed lunging forward only to be stopped by Rin.

"She's pregnant stop." Rin pleaded looking at Shirley with guilt.

"You're lucky bitch!" Shirley staggered back grabbing on to her friend and walking out of the restaurant flipping off everyone on her way out.

"Kag-."

"Shut up. After all this, making me feel guilty because I was the one who was going to leave you. I was the one who was straight. I was the one who didn't love you enough. Fuck you!" Kagome yelled. "You know back when everything happened when I kissed that guy back in college and you found out, I knew things changed. You held it against me all this time." Kagome covered her mouth choking back a sob.

"Oh Kagome what do you want me to say, sorry? I am sorrybecause I do love you, but what did you expect, we haven't had sex in 6 months. I needed to feel connected to you, tosomebody." Rin answered standing to face her longtime girlfriend.

"Oh please if you want to know why I haven't fucked you, ask Eric." Kagome said crossing her arms. Rin's eyes grew and she took a step back. "Yeah Rin that's right I know, you always did think I was going to fuck up and sleep with a guy. Turns out you beat me to it." Kagome sneered. "He called me a while back said he felt too guilty to keep it in. I've been waiting for you to fess up, just waiting."

Rin gaped at her, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. "You know I thought I could be the forgiving one, I swore I wasn't going to do what you did to me. But then this happens, what was all this for?" Kagome sniffed leaning on Sesshomaru for support. "I think you shouldn't be home when I get to the apartment tonight, you should just leave." Kagome watched as Rin scurried away, wiping the tears from her face.

She took a moment to look at the rest of the table. Taking in their scandalized faces.

"He's my brother." Inuyasha blurted out.

"Oh for fucks sake!"
