Reunited
Chapter 21: Talk it out
Silence
"Someone plaease say something." Kilala pleaded.
"Are...are you sure?" Ayame asked slightly shaken form the news.
"Not exactly, I mean I'm late but..." she replied trailing off.
Silence
"Alright that's it." Kagome said standing up and grabbing her cell phone out of her duffel bag.
"What are you doing?" Sango asked.
"I'm calling Inuyasha. The guys are hanging out tonight. We'll have them come over and YOU can talk to Shippo." she replied.
"I don't know if I can." Kilala said.
"We'll be here for you." Ayame said.
"Yea." Sango added. "We'll go downstairs ad you guys can talk up here. If you need help just call us."
Kilala nodded hesitantly.
Ring...Ring...Ri
"Hello?" Inuyasha answered.
"Yash? It's Kagome, what are you guys doing?" Kagome asked.
"Just playing video games, why?" he replied.
"Well we were wondering if you guys wanted to come over and watch a movie?" she explained.
"Hang on I'll ask the guys." he said, removing the phone from his ear.
"Hey, do you guys want to go watch a movie at Sango's?
"Sure." Kouga replied.
"Sounds good." Miroku said.
Shippo didn't say anything, just plastered a fdake smile on his face. Inuyasha put the phone back up to his ear.
"Alright, we'll be there soon." he told her hanging up.
"Shit" Shipppo thought as he watched the scenery pass by outside the window. "What the hell am I going to do? She probably hates me by now."
"Shippo!?" Miroku yelled, snapping the kitsune out of his thoughts.
"Whta?" he asked
"We're here." he continued. Shippo looked around and realized he was right. Climbing out of the car they all headed toward the front door. Kagome answered before they even knocked.
"Hey guys." she greeted smiling. Inuyahsa pecked her on the lips before leading the precession into the house, Shippo bringing up the rear.
He took one look at her and knew she knew. She passed him a note as he walked past her. When she was gone, along with everyone else, he opened the folded piece of paper and read the note.
-Shippo
Kilala is upstairs. You two can't avoid each other anymore.
"Huh, a set up. Never would have guested that." he thought.
Taking a deep breath he headed up the stairs. He stopped at the closed door of Sango's room.
"Come on Shippo, you can do this." he thought. With one last deep breath he opened the door, to find Kilala sitting nervously on the bed. She looked toward the door as it opened. She tried to swallow the lump in her throat.
Shippo walked into the room shutting the door behind him. He walked cautiously toward her to sit across from her.
They sat in an awkward silence.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"For what?" they continued. A small smile crept up on their faces.
"You first." she said.
"Right." he replied. Pausing before he continued. "I'm sorry if I've been avoiding you/ I just don't know where we stand." he said.
"I understand, it's been the same for me." she explained.
"Then we put this silly awkwardness behind us?" he asked. She hesitated the small smile that had formed earlier quickly disappearing again.
"No." she finally replied.
"Why?" he asked, the hurt evident in his voice. She took a deep breath, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Because I think I'm pregnant." she replied bluntly trying not to cry.
Shippo's eyes widened in shock. Kilala grew even more nervous at his silence.
"Please say something." she pleaded. "Anything."
"Are you sure?" he asked still in shock.
"Not a hundered percent." she replied. "But I'm late."
He took a deep breath.
"Alright then!" he said out of nowhere, standing and then sitting next to her. He pulled her into a hug. She was stunned. "We'll do this together."
She pulled away still surprised, tears in her eyes.
"You're ok with this?" he smiled.
"Can't think of anyone better I'd want to be with." he said. She smiled. They hugged.
MEANWHILE.
The girls all sat curled up to their boyfriends on the couch in the livingroom. All was quiet save for the movie playing.
Gurggles
Sango giggles.
"Sorry." Miroku said holding his stomach. "We never did get that pizza."
"Don't worry about it. I'll go get some snacks." Sango said.
"I'll help you." Kagome said following her friend into the kitchen.
"You relaly didn't need to help." Sango said smiling.
"I know." she replied heading toward the stairs.
"Where are oyu going?"
"To check on Kilala and Shippo." she replied. "I'll only be a minute.
Kagome walked quietly up the stairs and stood in front of Sango's bedroom door. She put her ear up to it but heard nothing. Carefully and quietly she turned the knob on the door and opened it. Peering inside the room she saw Kilala and Shippo curled up on the bed asleep.
She smiled at them, ten quietly crept back out.

"Well? What does it say?" Shippo asked his voice full of different emotions she couldn't explain.
