A/N: btw, Sango lives with her father and brother, I'm trying to relate things to the show and since it never showed her mother, for this story Sango's mother isn't alive anymore and died when she was young.

Chapter 10: Telling the Father

Since Mr. Yamada had an accident and had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks he had postponed the assignment until he returned. This gave Sango some time to think things through and not have to worry about working with Inuyasha. But now the assignment was back on and everyone in the class had to get back working on it again, unfortunately Sango was still confused on the whole pregnancy deal, she did have her studies to worry about too.

Inuyasha knocked on Sango's door after school. He was there so they could work on their project and Sango had insisted he come to her place. Her father and brother nicely agreed to let her have the house for a while so they could be alone to talk.

"Come in," Sango called from the couch as she thought about how she was going to tell him she was pregnant.

Inuyasha walked in and sat next to her then frowned at her. Sango frowned back, what was his problem now?

"What?" Sango asked agitated already.

"Feh, nothing," Inuyasha grumbled as he looked elsewhere. The truth was he was still a little ticked at her for interrupting him and Kagome's time, it wasn't like she couldn't have gone home if she was sick, that way he could have asked Kagome what he wanted.

Sango looked down at her book and papers that were in her lap, ready to be worked on. Inuyasha saw that Sango had a juice box and crackers on the coffee table in front of them.

"I take it you're still not feeling well," Inuyasha finally said looking over at her, after all it wasn't her fault she was sick and Kagome just wanted to be a good friend.

"Not really," Sango told him still staring at their assignment.

Inuyasha stood up with another frown as he put his hands on his hips and glared at her, "Then why are you calling me over here if you're still sick, so I can catch what you have, is this a payback for being rude to your friends."

Sango carefully put her book and papers on the table before quickly standing as well, "HA, so you admit you were rude and you should apologize to them."

"Hey, I didn't say I should apologize," Inuyasha shot back.

"Well you should and by the way, you can't catch what I have!" she yelled before she could stop herself.

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked, a sharpness in his voice.

"Forget it," she said slumping back down on the couch and crossing her arms.

"Hey," Inuyasha said very curious now as she sat back down.

"No," she started to cry again, "It's all your fault, so just go away."

Inuyasha sat there wondering what he should do, "Sango I…"

"I said go away, get out of my house."

'Your house,' Inuyasha thought, but didn't dare say it. Inuyasha grew angry again, fine if she wanted to be that way then he didn't have to take it. He got up and stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Sango winced a little from the noise the slam made then sighed as she wiped her eyes. Why did she have to be so moody?

Sango gathered the papers and book back into her lap again, noticing that the first paper at the top said 'It Is Important to Work Together.'

"Sango," said her father as they all sat at the kitchen table for dinner.

"Yes father," Sango replied staring down at her plate.

"How did it go with that boy?" he asked uncertainly. He was still getting used to his daughter pregnant and he was getting there little by little.

"I didn't tell him."

"Why not?"

"We kind of had an argument and I told him to leave, oh father, it's not easy when I don't even love him like that, it's supposed to happen with someone I really love," she teared up again.

"Oh boy, not again," Kohaku groaned.

"That's enough Kohaku, leave your sister alone," his father warned.

"Sango," her father said causing her to look up at him, "it's not easy for me to accept this that has happened and I know as well as you that you didn't have do it, but it has happened and there's nothing we can do to change that, now if this Inuyasha had any trace of a true man in him he will accept this and he will do the right thing and since this Inuyasha isn't right for you there will be a boy out there for you who will love you no matter what you're going through and that is the boy that truly deserves you."

Sango looked down at her plate and pondered these words. He was right and maybe just maybe that boy will be Miroku.

That night Sango laid awake thinking about what her father said as she placed a hand on her stomach. She had been so busy with school and figuring out how to handle the situation, she almost forgot there was actually a tiny human inside her. A human that she unfortunately wasn't ready for and would probably have to be given to someone who could properly take care of it. Sango turned over and turned her bedside lamp off, falling asleep almost instantly.

The next morning after Sango had morning sickness, she realized that she had to tell Inuyasha, he had a right to know. It was just difficult because she didn't even know what she should feel or do in the situation herself.

She washed her face off and looked at herself in the mirror, noticing her pale complexion. She let out a deep breath before she started getting ready for another day of school. She dreaded having to go to school for the next nine months.

She was tempted to ride the bus to school, but after thinking about how much weight she would gain, she decided to stick with walking. At least she would get exercise.

"Sango," she heard Kagome call her from behind. Sango rolled her eyes. For some reason she was no mood to see Kagome since she got pregnant, she suspected that was because of her guilty conscience.

Sango closed her eyes and stopped, knowing she couldn't just take off and start running from her. For one thing she was still a little sick and for another thing she was still her friend.

Kagome caught up to her, "Uh oh," she said looking over at Sango.

"What?" Sango asked.

"You're wearing your hair up in a ponytail, that's your 'I'm on a mission' hair style," Kagome said with a small laugh.

Sango laughed too, but with a hit of nervousness in hers, "No, I'm not up to something." 'Good one Sango,' she thought, 'you just lied to her, today's when I'm telling Inuyasha about the pregnancy and Kagome might just find out he's the father.'

"So how is the pregnancy going," Kagome asked with a friendly tone.

Sango gave her a 'are you really asking me that' look.

"Oh sorry, that good huh?" she said sarcastically.

"By the way, I got you something," Kagome pulled something from her bag and handed it to Sango. Sango took it from her and looked down at it, it was a video. She read the title, 'A What to Expect during Birth Video.'

Sango raised an eyebrow at Kagome.

"I just thought you might want to know what you'll be going through when the baby comes, my mom still had it from when she was pregnant with me and my brother, she said you can borrow it, or have it if you want," Kagome told her.

Sango gave her a small smile, "Thanks Kagome," at the same time she thought, 'Do I even deserve her kindness?'

Sango dreaded what Mr. Yamada would say when he found out about her and Inuyasha not having their assignment completed from the day before. Sango rolled her eyes, 'It was his stupid fault we have to work on the stupid project every week day.' Sango stopped, 'Whoa, what the heck was that?' She had never dissed homework like that before and always tried to see the positive of it, was the baby already toying with her mind? She shook her head, weird.

She took slow steps to the class room. After everyone settled down and the teacher arrived and sat his briefcase down, he began.

"Alright, I want all of your papers to my desk right now," Mr. Yamada ordered. Every since he had returned a few days ago he had been eager to get it over with and move on.

As everyone else got up Sango looked back at Inuyasha, but he sat there refusing to look at her with his arms crossed, shaking his head.

Sango turned back around and messaged her temples, how was she supposed to cooperate with him let alone tell him she was pregnant, if he acted this way?

"Sango," Mr. Yamada spoke bringing her from her daze, "where's yours and Inuyasha's paper?"

Sango just shook her head, embarrassed.

Mr. Yamada sighed, "Alright, let's move on then," he said addressing the black board.

After class while Kagome and Sango were walking together, Sango spotted Inuyasha, walking in the hallway, away from them by himself.

"Um, Kagome," Sango said as they got to Kagome's locker, "I'll be right back."

She made her way to Inuyasha, "Inuyasha," she said hesitantly.

Inuyasha turned around, "What are you here to yell at me again," he asked bitterly.

"I need to tell you something, it's important," she said deciding to ignore his rudeness.

"Fine, what is it?"

'Hold it,' she thought, 'did he really deserve to know? If he found out, it could change his whole life, do I want to do that to him?'

"Feh," he said before turning, "If you're not going to say anything, I have stuff to do."

Sango frowned, why did he have to have such a bad attitude?

Sango grabbed him by the arm, "Wait."

He turned, "Yeah."

'What do I do?'

'Should I tell him?'

"Forget it," she spat, angry with herself as she started to walk away. Inuyasha took this as hostility.

"What is your problem," yelled Inuyasha.

Sango turned quickly around. She was so tired of him treating her that way.

"I'm pregnant, with your baby," she shouted back as tears clouded her vision, "happy?"

All trace of ruining his future gone.

Kagome come up behind Sango just in time to hear what she said.

Inuyasha stood there speechless.

Kagome's mouth dropped opened and her eyes widened with surprise as she looked back and forth between the two. She now knew who the father was. She backed up, this couldn't be happening, her best friend and her secret crush had sex together?

Kagome turned and left in a hurry down the hallway to the side, hoping to be anywhere else.

Sango watched her go, looked at Inuyasha then at the floor.

Inuyasha hurried to catch up with Kagome. When he did he took her by the arm, "Hey."

She pulled away still overwhelmed, "I need to be alone," she simply stated, not looking at him and hurried away again.

Inuyasha stood there and shook his head, how could this happen? Sango arrived behind Inuyasha gaining a gloomy expression as she saw Kagome leave again. She was in no mood to chase her everywhere; she then figured she needed to be alone anyhow.

Inuyasha turned and eyed Sango, "Are you sure?"

Sango gave him a cold look, offended that he thought she had messed around with anyone else. But her look was enough proof for him. Sango then left him there. Inuyasha turned to where Kagome had been then back to watch Sango leave. Knowing Kagome probably needed time to herself as well, he followed Sango.

He got in front of her, "Hey, if you need me to do something…" he started.

"You've done enough," she interrupted, "I can do this alone."

She gave him one last cold teary look before passing him to leave. Inuyasha knew that if this was the outcome he never would have had sex of her, though in truth, if he could rewind time, he wouldn't have anyway. He summed it up that Sango was being so nice and he was having a good time with her…but he knew it had been a stupid move.

He thought about how to handle the situation. He ran through the hallway to Sango. He got in front of her again, "Sango, I want to…"

"You want to what," she snapped at him.

Inuyasha frowned, "If you would let me say it," he snapped back.

Sango stared him down, in no mood for this crap, "If you want to do something get out of my way and leave me alone."

Inuyasha balled his fist, "This is my kid too," he said not only shocking Sango, but himself with his words.

"This was an accident and it will never happen again so back off," she began to cry harder now. They had attracted a few students, including one of Kikyo's snobby friends.

"Why won't you let me help?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because I don't even know how to handle it yet!"

Kouga and Kagura came from the crowd towards them as Sango began to grow more upset and started to get dizzy.

She stumbled, but Kouga caught her. Kouga glared at Inuyasha, "What did you do to her dog breath?" he said big brotherly.

"I didn't do anything," Inuyasha frowned at him for the accusation.

Shippo made his way right up to Inuyasha, "What did you do to Kagome?" he asked angrily, staring up at him since he was a little shorter. Shippo had seen his friend pass him and could tell she had been crying. When he had asked her what the problem was, she told him bitterly to ask Inuyasha.

"Oh now you care about your friends," Inuyasha growled before storming off.

Kouga helped Sango up, "Are you ok?" he questioned.

"Sango what happened?" Shippo asked her curiously.

"I'm fine," Sango lied, "I just need some water."

She released herself from Kouga and left, leaving Kouga and Kagura to explain to Shippo what happened.

As Sango walked she bumped into Miroku.

"Oh, Sango, I heard arguing, everything ok?"

Sango nodded, he still didn't know.

Miroku rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "I'm glad I found you…"

A smile crept onto Sango's face as her cheeks reddened, forgetting all about the disaster she had managed to cause, 'he was glad?'

"I was wondering if you would have dinner with me at some restaurant tonight that is if you're feeling alright." Miroku said. He had finally gotten the nerve to ask her on a date.

Sango was a little surprised, "Oh, um, sure Miroku," she blushed a little more.

"Great, I mean that's cool, I'll pick you up around seven and we can decide where to go then," then he continued down the hall.

Sango watched him leave; he actually and finally asked her out on a date.

She placed a hand on her stomach and sighed.

A/N: so most of them know except Miroku, hmmm;) oh and sorry for any mistakes, I haven't been feeling good lately and so I haven't been in the mood to update any stories.
