AN: Well I haven't been on the computer much but when I did I saw how many reviews I got. I was like, "dang, I was going to put this chapter off but they reviewed like I said, so I've got to deliver." So I made the chapter for you guys. I hope you enjoy, and remember review, it makes me write:)

Enjoy…

Today is Christmas. We're all over here at Inuyasha's place to celebrate. Inuyasha and I are sitting in the kitchen right now. Well, I'm sitting; he's getting my food for me. Everyone else is in the dining room and living room. We got here a little late so the room is empty save the two of us.

The labor thing happened a few days ago, I'm only getting the slight pains every now and then but now that I know what it is, it's not as troublesome. We finally have all the baby items we need thanks to our parents. They bought all the expensive stuff that we can't afford as presents.

You'd think Inuyasha could afford it all himself, but recently his parents have been putting a limit to his spending. I guess because he's going to be a father and they want him to be responsible for himself. That makes sense though. It just sucks for us because we could really use their seemingly endless cash flow right about now.

Sad to say Inuyasha and I still haven't picked out the baby's name yet. We've got a three way tie going on, and have decided that once we see her face, the name will be instantly obvious.

"So Kagome," Inuyasha says and he sits down and hands me my plate, "Look up."

Hmm. Why on earth would he ask me to look up on Christmas? It must be…mistletoe. I smile and do what he tells me and not to my surprise I see the little plant right about my seat.

I laugh, "How did you know I was going to sit here?"

He just smiled at me sheepishly, "Actually I didn't." He nodded his head towards the opening to the dining room. Mistletoe was hanging all over the place. Apparently he really wanted this to work.

I started laughing harder, "You're too cute." And I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I don't think so," he says as I pull away, "You know the rules." Then he moves for my lips.

"FOUR…THREE…TWO…ONE!" deep breath, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everybody cries out. The poppers, whistles, and rattlers go off. Before more than a second passes, Inuyasha and I share our New Years Kiss.

"Happy new year," he murmurs against my lips; the fireworks almost drowning his voice out.

"Happy new year," I repeat, and kiss him some more.

Sango comes over to us and takes a snap shot. Inuyasha and I separate and watch her.

She presses a few buttons and examines her work. Then she gives us her dazzling smile, "Yup, this is my favorite so far." She holds the camera up to us and lets us see the screen.

She's got us kissing with a huge purple firework in the back ground. "Sango," I breathe, "This picture is perfect!" I reach out and grab my bestest; giving her a huge hug.

"So Kagome," Inuyasha takes back my attention, "You staying at my house tonight?"

I think a moment, "I don't know Yash," I lean back and scratch my neck, "I've got school in a couple days and I can't make it a habit of staying up late."

"Well I don't keep you up late." He argued.

Sango interjects, "Rigght." She quirks an eyebrow, "And then she was pregnant."

"Sango!" I yell, how embarrassing. My cheeks burn up.

"I'm just messing with you Kagome." Then she looks back at the baby bump, "Kind of…hehe. Got to go!" She walks off.

I look back over at Inuyasha. Then I scoff at his expression, "Are you actually giving me puppy eyes?"

He didn't answer me for a moment, "… why? Is it working?"

I laugh, "No."

His eyes narrow, "Well then I'm not." And he crosses his arms across his chest.

BEEP…BEEP…BEE-

I smack the alarm. Today is the first day back to school. I think it's so stupid how they end it right after new years. I mean everyone's going to be staying up late. And I've never seen a student who wasn't tired on the first day back from break. Most teachers look tired too, actually.

Before I end up falling asleep I drag my big self out of bed. "I am starving." Usually the last thing on my get ready list is eat breakfast but lately I've been changing it up.

I drag myself downstairs and head to the pantry. I'm looking for Lucky Charms, and I'll kill Sota if there isn't any left. My eyes land on the red box, "Gotcha!" I pull it out and set it on the table. Then I grab the bowl and milk, prepare, and eat. Once I feel satisfied I go back upstairs to get ready. Inuyasha and Sango should be here within the next hour.

After getting ready I go to the living room and join the cat on the couch. I only have to wait a few minutes before I hear the doorbell ring. Slowly I get up and walk over to the door, my book bag secured. It's Inuyasha.

"Hey," he says taking my bag from my arm, "Let me get that for you."

"Thanks."

"Come on its freezing." He says as we speed walk to the car.

I get in and turn to Sango, "Hey."

"Morning."

We drive to school and Sango gets out first, but I stay behind, "Hey Sango," I call out the window, "I'll meet you in there. Kay?"

"That's fine," then she shouts to Yash, "Thank you."

He nods.

I roll the window up and turn to my boyfriend. "I'm getting out late today."

He grabs my hand, "Why?"

I roll my eyes, "I'm gonna start my tutoring for after I have the baby."

"Oh." He nods his head, "Well it doesn't matter," he looks at me smugly, "not like I have school."

I take my hand from his and cross my arms over my chest, "Whatever."

He laughs at my antics, "Jealous Kagome? I still got a few more weeks off." Damn college! And damn high school for making everything suck.

He stops laughing and puts his arm around my shoulder, "I'm just messing with you," he gives me a kiss on my cheek. "Now, get your ass to class."

I smile and roll my eyes, "Shut up." We kiss and after grabbing my things I exit the car. Half way to the school's main entrance I see Rin.

"Rin!" I shout.

She stops walking and turns around. Her head moving until she spots me. Then she waves, "Hey Kagome!"

I move faster to catch up to her. "Hey Rin."

"Hi Kags." We hug.

"Wow," Rin says as we continue our walk to the doors, "I can't believe your still here." We make it to the doors and take a few moments to wipe or shoes on the carpet. Then continue our conversation. "I thought you would have left on maternity leave, or something."

"Yeah," I shrug, "I just want to be as un-behind as I can get."

We laugh. "I can understand that." Then we reach a crossroad, "Which way are you going?" She asks me.

"I'm turning."

She frowns, "Straight."

"Well," I start, "I guess I'll see you later."

She smiles and nods, "Bye."

After the final bell I gloomily watch everyone leave the building and trudge my way to the tutor's room. The plan is that for every two days I spend after school one day is made up. Since it's only the middle of the year I should be more than capable of making everything up.

I walk in the class and see my teachers and the tutor in the room going over a few things. I clear my throat.

My slight interruption causes the group to look up. "Ms. Higurashi, have a seat."

Today is Sunday. And I am officially one week away from my due date. Hallelujah! Look I love my baby so much, but I want to just get her out of my body already! You can't blame me.

So yesterday I saw Inuyasha's ex at the supermarket. Sango and I were buying some snacks when we saw her with Kagura. We locked eyes for a second and if looks could kill I think we'd both be dead right now.

As far as I know Inuyasha has been faithful since the whole hospital fiasco. I mean he's treated me so well these months, and I haven't even smelled cigarettes around him the past few weeks. Things have been going great.

But after seeing Kikyo, I'm starting to feel a bit insecure. What if he's cheated so much he's perfected it? What if he never left her? Or what if he's with her right now?

I sigh.

Or…what if I'm just being paranoid over nothing?

I thought I trusted Inuyasha but now that I know she's back, I'm not sure what I think anymore.
