Wow, we've made it to 200 chapters!

Thank you to everyone who has read up to this point. I hope you're enjoying the story. There isn't much left now. I really never imagined I would go this far with this story. This is truly the longest, most ambitious story I've ever written but I truly enjoyed writing about the life of my favorite couple. It feels like experiencing this journey with them and I hope you all feel the same way.

Please continue to read and review. I always love to hear what you think!

December 21

Moroha is only two days old and she's already brought so much joy into our lives.

The time we've spent with her is like a dream. It's everything that I had hoped it would be and more. She is the light of my life. I love being her mom so much.

Yasha and I have barely put her down. Most of our time has been spent holding her and talking to her and telling her how much we love her. It's still so unbelievable that the three of us are really a family now.

Apparently, while I was suffering and in immense pain a couple of days ago, Inuyasha was suffering in a different way. He told me about how Sango had in fact brought Miroku with her and it was all Miroku could do to keep him from having a full-blown panic attack. Inuyasha had nearly given Miroku a headache from how much he was pacing around the room and at one point he was sure he was going to tear his hair out. When it got to the point where I was screaming in pain as I was pushing the baby out, Inuyasha almost couldn't handle it. Miroku had actually tied him up and put a sutra on him to restrain him.

When Sango and Kaede came out of the room and told him that we were okay, Inuyasha said he felt like he was going to pass out from relief. But still, he couldn't believe that everything was 100 percent fine until he saw us. He told me that when he came into the room and laid eyes on us, it was the happiest he had ever been and it was like a dream come true when he held Moroha for the first time.

As I think about it now, I almost want to cry (and I had also cried when he first told me that). It touches my heart that I've really made Inuyasha this happy.

Moroha is just the cutest thing in the entire world. She's very tiny so her clothes are just slightly too big for her at the moment. Her eyes are always so wide like she's taking in everything in the world. When Inuyasha and I are talking she looks back and forth between us like she's trying to follow our conversation. She likes to hold our fingers and she's got quite a tight grip; I think that's the demon part of her coming out. She's also got tiny claws. Inuyasha says she's going to be quite a fighter when she grows up.

This morning we were woken up very early by the sound of her crying.

Inuyasha sighed. "We're never going to be able to sleep in again, are we?"

"Not for a very long time," I replied as I tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes. We hadn't really gotten much sleep last night. I was still trying to accept this as our new reality.

Inuyasha went to get her out of the bassinet next to our bed. "Hey little girl, I know you're new to all this but in the mornings we sleep," he said as he picked her up.

I laughed a little at that. Then I sat up knowing that she wanted to eat.

"She's all yours," Inuyasha said as he handed her to me.

"Come here, my love. Time for your breakfast," I said as I brought her to my breast. As tired as I was, I couldn't help but smile. Breastfeeding is one of my new favorite things. I love having her this close to me.

I glanced over at Inuyasha as he yawned widely. "If you want to go back to sleep, I don't mind, honey."

"I want to stay up with you, Kagome," he replied. "After all, how unfair would it be if I get to get all the sleep and you don't?"

"That's true."

"Besides, I want to keep looking at her."

He leaned back against the wall and I lay in his arms. This was such a blissful feeling; having my baby close to me like this and my husband with his arms wrapped around me. I just love everything about my life right now.

"Does it feel weird to breastfeed her?" Inuyasha asked.

"It feels nice," I replied. "They feel so full right now so it's actually kind of a relief."

Inuyasha ran his fingers through Moroha's hair as we admired her. "I knew she'd look more like you."

"I think she looks more like you," I replied.

"She just has my eyes."

"There's something about her face though that looks more like you. I think it's your nose."

"I guess we'll find out for sure when we introduce her to everyone else," Inuyasha said. "Crazy how this little girl can change everything about our lives and make us so happy."

"You've got that right. I've felt like I've been in a daze since she was born."

"I'd never imagined that I would have a child of my own one day," Inuyasha said thoughtfully. "I just never thought that I would have someone to love and care for like you. Now that we have Moroha, I feel like my life has twice as much meaning."

"Same here." I pressed a soft kiss to his lips which he gladly returned. "I always felt like I wanted a child one day but it always seemed so far off. I never gave it a serious thought before. Now I don't know how I ever lived without her."

I looked back at Moroha. She opened her eyes and was now looking at us curiously. It made me giggle a bit. "Are you enjoying it, my little Moroha?"

Inuyasha hugged us a little tighter and I happily leaned into him thinking about how I couldn't be more grateful for my little family.
