Chapter 21: Here Comes the Baby

"Kagome? Kagome?" Kagome's mother called out looking for her, she reached the living room to find Kagome and Inuyasha sitting on the couch. Kagome was laying down with her legs plopped down on Inuyasha's lap with his arm on them. "Oh there you are."

"Yes mama?" Kagome looked up at her mother.

"I have to go drop of grandpa at the air port, he's going to Osaka again for a convention," She sighed. "I keep telling him he's getting too old for this kind of stuff but he just won't listen." She grabbed her coat. "Sota's home too, I don't want him out just in case there is an emergency."

"Alright mama, be safe," Kagome smiled at her and watched her walk out.

"Where is that damn kid anyways?" Inuyasha asked. "It's too quiet in this house."

"SOTA!!!" Kagome yelled.

The foot steps came running down the stairs, "What?" He asked.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Uh.. Homework, what else?"

"Oh," she laughed. "I forgot it was a weekday. Alright, oh! And mom said you can't be out of the house tonight."

"Alright…" then he returned upstairs.

Inuyasha looked at her, "I'm so glad you're not in that school thing anymore, that was so frustrating," Inuyasha laughed. Kagome smiled then got up and on her feet, but before she could walk anywhere Inuyasha caught her hand, "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm just going to get a glass of water, Geez Inuyasha," She pulled her hand away and waddled to the kitchen. She reached up to grab a glass from the self and filled it with water. She took a sip of water and then a stabbing pain in her lower belly pieced her. She dropped the glass making it shatter to the floor.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha got up and ran to the kitchen to find her crouching over. "What's wrong? What happened?" He went o her side.

"M… My water broke…" She said.

Inuyasha was confused, "Uh… then here let me get you another one." He went to go get another glass.

"Inuyasha you dumbass I mean the baby's coming!" She yelled

Inuyasha just stood there looking at her.

Kagome started crying from the pain se was feeling, she fell to her knees, "Inuyasha… don't just… stand there!!" She said in between breaths.

Inuyasha knelt don't to pick her up carefully, "Sota!" Inuyasha yelled out. "Oww…" Inuyasha said to him self as Kagome squeezed his arm. 'Does it really hurt that bad?'

Sota came running down the stair, "What now?"

"Inuyasha turned around once Kagome was safely put in his arms, "Call your mom, I have to take Kagome to the hospital, and clean up this glass down here." Inuyasha began to panic. 'Shit my hat…' "Sota, get my hat for me really fast and put it on my head, my hands are full!"

Sota ran to the front door to grab Inuyasha's hat and ran back to put it on him. "Don't lat anything happen to her1" Sota yelled after Inuyasha ran out the door.

"AHH!!" Kagome yelled, "Inuyasha! Stop! You're hurting me!" Kagome cried out.

'Dammit all! Hold on Kagome, we're almost there!' He said to himself. Inuyasha ran through the mob of people on the streets until he ran though the hospital doors. "Get her to a doctor now, dammit!" Inuyasha cursed at the same woman that was there before.

"You again, I guess this is your first huh? Hold on I'll go get a doctor." The woman got up and went through the doors behind her.

Kagome's grip was getting tighter on his arm and her breathing became heavier. Inuyasha began to worry, he's never seen anyone like this before, he guessed Kagome was right about childbirth.

"Kagome hang on, there's a doctor coming. Hold on." Inuyasha tried to comfort her.

Right at that moment a doctor and some nurses came out with a stretcher to move her into another room. Inuyasha put her on the stretcher but she moved her hand to grasp his hair, "Ow!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Sir, we would need you to wait in the waiting room or out in the hall if you are not married to her or related." The doctor said as he pushed her.

Kagome let go of his hair and cried some more ad she held her stomach. Inuyasha looked at her then at the doctor, "Listen I am not leaving her where you like it of not!" he yelled at the doctor.

"I'm sorry sir but that's the policy," A door was opened and they moved her into the room and transferred her into the bed. The doctor shut the door, but Inuyasha just pushed it back open.

"I told you I am not leaving!" Inuyasha grew angry.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed out. "Don't leave me! Please don't leave me!" Kagome sobbed out as she reached with one hand towards him and another on wrapped on her belly.

Inuyasha looked at her; she looked like she was that same night. "Please, let me stay that's all I ask for." Inuyasha looked at the man pleading with his gold colored eyes.

The man sighed, "Nurse, get this man in uniform!" He called out to a nurse. A nurse can to him with a green coat and a white mask. The nurse was about to take off the hat but Inuyasha moved away before she could do so.

Inuyasha walked to the other side of the bed, out of the way from the doctors. He held Inuyasha's hand tightly as she could as she yelled "It hurts! Oh Kami it hurts!"

Inuyasha looked at her painful expression, he's never seen her in so much pain before, and that pain of her broke his heart just watching her. There were tears streaming down her face and nurses were hooking IV's (I got it right this time xD) into her arms. They took off the pant's she was wearing and placed her legs on platforms that to meant to spread them out. Inuyasha looked at Kagome again, her hair was drenched with sweat and her screamed pounded in his head.

"Okay Kagome, we need you to push, on the count of three. 1, 2…" The doctor told her but Kagome refused to listen.

"I can't! I can't!" She sobbed.

"3!" The doctor shouted.

Kagome sat up pushing outward yelling squeezing Inuyasha's hand tighter and tighter making Inuyasha twitch. Then Kagome fell back again taking in deep breaths.

"Good Job Kagome, now just a couple more times and we're through," The doctor announced.

Inuyasha couldn't do anything to help her now, guilt built up in him as he watched his love of his life go through so much. His nose wrinkled up from the smell of medicines and herbs mixed in with the smell of Kagome's blood and the smell of rubbing alcohol.

"Push!" The doctor yelled.

Kagome pushed again with all her might and back backwards, and then the sound of a baby cried throughout the room. Inuyasha looked at the doctor hold the infant in his hands then turned back to face Kagome. He face was pale and wet with dark circles underneath her eyes and her grip became loose.

The doctor came over to them with the baby wrapped up in a pink blanket and handed her to Kagome to hold. She was so small so fragile looking. Once she was in Kagome's arms the baby stopped crying and Kagome's pain in her face vanished and joy was replaced. "Isn't she beautiful?" Kagome said softly as the baby wrapped its small hand on Kagome's finger.

Inuyasha didn't say anything; he was just relieved that it was all over. He felt light headed and sick to his stomach, it was way to over whelming.

"Do you want to hold her, Inuyasha?" She asked looking up as his weary face.

Inuyasha looked at her, "No... Not right now, I'm too sick to do anything." He sighed and rubbed his forehead.

The nurse came to her and took the baby away from Kagome and put her in a bassinet next to Kagome. Another nurse came by wit ha clipboard and a pen. "What is your baby's name miss?" She asked as she was ready to right.

"Emi." Kagome said.

"Alright, now you need your rest," She turned to Inuyasha, and you need to be in the waiting hall in less than five minuets." Then she walked out the door.

Kagome closed her eyes, "I was afraid you would leave me…" Her voice was strained.

Inuyasha looked at her worn face, "Kagome I'd never leave you, not when you are going through this…" He closed his eyes as well. "I though I might have loosed you, I never seen you go through that much."

Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Inuyasha, "I thought I wasn't going to make it, but I didn't give up, because I thought of you and Emi, I thought of how my life meant so much to you and her." She closed her eyes again to sleep.

'Kagome…' Inuyasha thought of her and how strong she must have been.

Inuyasha sat in the waiting room with his foot tapping the floor impatiently. And right at that moment Kagome's mom walked through the door. "Oh thank Kami, I came here as fast as I could when I heard, "She ran over to Inuyasha. "Is she alright? Where is she? Is the baby healthy?" She went on and on.

Inuyasha looked up at her, "She's fine, she's sleeping right now, and the baby seems fine also," Inuyasha calmly said.

She plopped down on the chair next to Inuyasha and sighed, "Well I guess I'm a grandma now," She laughed out of exhaustion. "How long has she been sleeping for?"

"For an hour I think, I don't know, I'm not keeping track…"

"And you were just sitting here the whole time?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's not like there is anything else to do," He crossed his arms.

"Well I guess all there is to do is wait…" She closed her eyes.
