Trying to get back to a schedule... Didn't take so long this time ;)
Chapter Seventy-Three - Confident
"You must have heard wrong." George went after Mrs. Hallewell since neither Souta or Fred understood clearly what she said. When he got there, the Kami was already gone, leaving a relieved pregnant Miko merrily talking to her mother. He shared his suspicions and was answered with doubtful looks. "It's not possible. We have four ultrasounds and none of them indicated the presence of a second heartbeat. And the Great Grandmother would have told me sooner, don't you think? Anyway, she told to not worry too much. If anything happens, she will be glad to wipe some memories."
While it did make sense, George wasn't as confident as Kagome when it came to muggle technology. He would be the first to point out how much the wizards were missing by disregarding muggles as lower beings but he wouldn't dare to say they were completely reliable.
"Stop brooding, will you?" said Kagome. He didn't know when Ms. Higurashi vacated the room but they were alone now. She pulled him to sit by her side on the bed. "Is it really a problem if there are two or more babies?" She wasn't looking at him, focusing instead on her noticeable baby bump. "I know the whole pregnancy was unexpected, we are young, we aren't together for that long, we should've been more-"
"Don't even finish that. Don't you dare." He was kneeling in front of her, drying the heartbreaking tears that dared to fall. Kagome had her eyes closed, the salty water cascading from the corner of her eyes. What he said must have sounded awful in her ears and he didn't even remember saying anything so bad. It wasn't like he didn't want children. For Merlin's pants, if he could, he would father a full Quidditch team, reserves and all. If instead of one at a time, they came in pairs or trios, it would be harder but they would manage it. His mother would be overloaded with Bill's son or daughter soon plus his own princess, but they could invite Ms. Higurashi to stay for some time or he could work from home like he did back in Japan to take care of their babies. Together, they would make it work. "Kagome, love, look at me. There, even puff and red I love your eyes and your whole self. Especially when this whole self is laying in our bed in nothing but bed-sheets. And already love with our little girl, or girls, or boy and girl, or whatever different sets of babies are growing in you. You, this family, is everything I've dreamed about. Everything is perfect. The timing is perfect. You are perfect. I couldn't have found a better wife and mother to my children."
Just a bit of bonding moments because I was missing some Kagome here!
