A.N. OKAY! I hope you've enjoyed the story so far… I'M ALMOST DONE! dances with Hatori just a few more chapters to go and I'll be finished. I hope you enjoy, and review at the end. I love to hear what you have to say!
"KAGOME!" Sango called, "are you ready yet? We have to be at the church in 30 minutes."
"I'm coming," Kagome whined, "you try stuffing a hyper one month old in a suit. It's not easy I'm tellin ya."
Sango laughed, "I'm coming in. Is that all right?"
"Yeah go ahead," Kagome grunted as she fought with her son to get him into the little pants he was supposed to wear."
"How cute!" Sango squealed when she saw the little black suit with blue vest, "that's Hatori's suit?"
"Nope," Kagome said with a smirk, "it's my dress."
"Ha ha," Sango said, "now what's the problem?"
"The kid doesn't like suits," Kagome said, "he prefers to be naked I guess. And it's so adorable too, but it's mainly the pants. I can probably get him into the shirt and vest, he just wont stop wiggling so I can get him in the pants."
"Hold him up," Sango commanded, "I'll put the pants on him while you hold him."
"Good idea," Kagome said, "sheesh, I really think this mommy business is going to kill me. -baby voice- but I love my little guy!"
Sango sighed as she watched her friend with the baby. She really underestimates herself.
When they had the baby dressed and in his carrier, Sango helped Kagome get her hair ready and then they got dressed.
"Kagome, Sango you look beautiful," Miroku said as they walked out of their rooms, "and Hari… he's going to be a major ladies man!"
"Don't give him ideas so young," Kagome said, moving her son away from her friend, "I don't need my son to be like you."
Miroku sighed and looked away, "so little faith."
Kagome giggled, "lets go. I want everyone to see my boy!"
Her friends laughed and watched as Kagome headed to the car, the baby laughing in his carrier.
"This is going to be one hell of a night," Miroku said, "a wedding… and a new baby in the Higurashi-Takahashi family."
"At least it'll be fun," Sango said with a grin as they got in the car to leave. Miroku just nodded, and prayed that things would work themselves out with Kagome and InuYasha.
In The Church
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said to Kouga. As he leaned in to kiss Ayame, the room burst into a rush of applause and catcalls. It would seem though, that nobody but Miroku and Sango noticed that during the ceremony Kagome and InuYasha were staring at each other, and that when the vows were said the two spoke them under their breathes… to each other.
As everyone was leaving to go to the reception, InuYasha cornered Kagome, who was currently showing of Hatori to a group of ladies she knew.
"He's so adorable," one lady was saying as she stroked Hatori's cheek, "and he looks so much like you Kagome. But… he's a half demon?"
"Yup," Kagome said with a grin, "actually. He looks like his father."
The women smiled, "I can see it in his eyes that he does. Just like his father, he even has his ears."
Kagome grinned, but jumped when she felt a hand on her back.
"Would you and Hari like to drive with me to the reception?" InuYasha asked her.
"Sure," Kagome said with a grin, "if you ladies will excuse me. I need to get my car seat."
The two older ladies watched the young couple walk to the car to get the car seat and smiled at each other.
"She's not going to leave him this time," on said.
"Nope," the other replied, "the smile she had on her face when he walked up… she's going to stay with him."
"I wonder what Kouga thinks about Kagome and InuYasha having a pup," the first one said, "especially after Kagome lost their first one."
"She lost it? Wow, I thought she never was pregnant to begin with," the second said as they began to leave themselves.
"Yup," the first replied, "I could tell. You know… her entire aura changed, it doubled when she was around. That's how I knew."
The other woman smiled and nodded, "it should be interesting to find out how things go."
What the two women didn't know, was that Kouga and Ayame had gone back to the church to get something they left, and he heard the entire conversation.
"Kagome lost my pup." It wasn't a question in Kouga's eyes.
At The Reception
"Kagome will you dance with me," a boy Kagome knew from high school asked her.
"Sure," she said with a smile, "InuYasha, watch Hari."
InuYasha nodded, but motioned to the boy when Kagome's back was turned that he would be watching them. The boy gulped, and nodded. The entire time they were dancing the boy made sure not to look like he was touching anything inappropriate or held Kagome too close because he was clearly scared of InuYasha.
"InuYasha," Kagome said when she sat down, "what did you tell that boy?"
"Nothing," InuYasha replied, bouncing Hari on his knee, "what gave you that idea?"
"Oh… I don't know," Kagome replied sarcastically, "maybe the fact that he said you're creepy. And I know for a fact your never creepy unless you have to be."
InuYasha grinned, "I didn't say anything. Now here, give Hari to his grandmother. You owe me a dance."
Kagome sighed, but took InuYasha's outstretched hand and followed him to the dance floor.
"See this is nice right?" InuYasha asked as he placed a hand on Kagome's waist, taking her right hand.
"I guess," she said, placing her free hand on his shoulder, "although it would be better if I could get out of this damn dress."
InuYasha grinned, but Kagome couldn't stand the dress. It was pink, with a lot of ruffles and bows. She really wasn't sure what Ayame was thinking when she picked it out.
"I can think of a way to get you out of it," InuYasha whispered in her ear suggestively.
"I'm sure you can," Kagome said, laying her head on his chest, "but let's not think about anything for now. Just dance."
InuYasha silently agreed, pulling Kagome closer to them, both completely oblivious to the set of green eyes that were watching them closely.
"Kagome," InuYasha whispered as the song ended.
"Yeah," she said, looking up at him, and noticing the sad look in his eyes, "what's wrong?"
He shook his head, "I wanted to know… well you see…" he couldn't spit it out. Everything that came to his mind was wrong.
"Are you alright?" Kagome asked, she was kind of worried about him, he never stuttered and now he was fumbling like a fool.
"Come with me," he said, taking her by the hand, "I wanna talk to you in private."
Kagome nodded and followed InuYasha out to the courtyard area where there were some benches next to a koi pond.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked when they sat down.
"Kagome stay with me," InuYasha said, "you and Hari both. Be a family with me. I know you left because I wasn't grown up, but that's what I've done. I have a job, I quit all of the stupidity I did, and I graduated top of my class."
Kagome sighed, what do I do? This is so early, Jeff hasn't even been gone a month. But I still have feelings for InuYasha…when she tried reasoning more, InuYasha took her hand again.
"Kagome," he restated, "I will do anything to have you with me. Say the word. I love you. I love our son. Let me be a father to Hatori, let me be your mate."
"InuYasha I…" she couldn't think. There were no words to answer his request. All she could do was kiss him. Hard, needing, more than either of them could think but it was almost as if it was hunger driving them.
"Is that a yes?" InuYasha asked when they broke apart.
"Yes," Kagome said with a smile, kissing InuYasha again.
Again the green eyes had been watching them for a long time. Not sure what to make of the situation.
"This can't be happening," he said, "I'm not even dead. It was a mistake. Doesn't she know that?"
