Chapter 57
It's human.
That's why Kagome smells different.
The baby is human.
There she is in all her small black and white fuzzy glory.
A perfectly healthy little human girl.
I don't know how the hell to react. On the one hand, I feel better knowing that it's something so simple. On the other, humans are so breakable and their time on earth is so short. I'm already working on finding a way to extend Kagome's lifespan – and I've got a few leads - but with a child, that's an entirely different thing. Do I impose that on her or do I let her make that decision when she's old enough? And then what about her future spouse and children? Am I just gunna create a whole new brand of human? If I just let her be, then her life will be so much easier but also her life will be so much shorter. I'll have to watch her grow old and die while I remain young.
Know what, I'm not going to say anything. This is a good day. The baby is healthy, Kagome is healthy and this conversation can wait until I've wrapped my head around it.
It'll be good.
It'll be fine.
I just need to not pass out.
