Chapter Forty - Problem

"How did this happened?" His mum's face was hard to read. While everyone else was surprised, she looked pissed, scared, irritated, somewhat delighted.

"You know mum, when two people have sex-"

"I'm not kidding, George. I taught you better than to dishonor a girl!"

"It just happened. It's his fault just as it's mine." Kagome spoke in his defense. Or their defense. "And the marriage have nothing to do with it. As George said, he asked me before I told him I am with child and I would have accepted regardless the pregnancy." Even if he never doubted, George was happy to know that her acceptance wasn't only for the baby's sake.

"That's not what Molly meant, Kagome. It's just that both of you are so young. How old are you, 18? You must have just graduated from school."

"I'm 19 and we have the full support of my family. I won't say I'm sorry for not having yours because we have nothing to be sorry for. I believe George is old enough to make his decisions."

THAT was a side of Kagome George never saw. When they announced their wedding to her family, they never had to legitimate, explain or anything about their decision. Maybe because they saw her as a grown up woman or because her responsibility when she was only fifteen, the Higurashis never questioned her choices. And he understood why. The sweet playful girl who enjoyed movie nights, who loves to sleep in the spooning position, who blushes at compliments, who insists for him not to rely on magic when there's muggle technology that can do the same, that Kagome wasn't there. There was a Kagome who don't stand bullshit and would defend their relationship against everyone and anyone. And he couldn't be more proud.

"I don't know what's the fuss, Fleur was not much older than Kagome when she started dating Bill."

"Don't bring others to your problem." advised Molly.

"The thing is there's no problem here, mum. Kagome is pregnant, we are married, everything is fine. I thought you would be happy for me."
