What the Future Holds
Chapter 2
Kagome stared at the little plastic tube in shock and happiness. A small little blue plus sign had appeared in the center of the tube, proving her doubts. She was carrying InuYasha's pup. Kagome smiled as she placed her hand onto her abdomen, and stroked it gently. Will it be a boy or a girl? Gold eyes or honey brown? Silver or black hair? Oh, I have to tell mom and InuYasha! Kagome thought to herself in pure happiness, and ran out to the kitchen.
"Mom! Mom!" called Kagome as she pranced into the room.
"Kagome?" asked her mother, puzzled a little at her daughter's sudden burst of energy, "Did you find out?"
"Yes," she replied with a blush, "Mom, I am…having InuYasha's pup."
"Oh honey!" her mother cried out with joy, "I am so happy for you! Oh that child will look so beautiful, and I will have some grandchildren to play with, and your grandfather will be a great-grandfather, and oh! I am just so thrilled!" Her mother hugged her as the two women laughed with joy. Kagome was crying tears of joy when suddenly the front door burst open.
"Kagome!?" yelled InuYasha from the front hall, "Where are you?" They heard a slight sniffing noise and quick, brisk footfalls on the wooden floor. InuYasha strode into the room and glared at Kagome, who sweat dropped, realizing that she has not been to InuYasha's time period in three months.
"In…InuYasha," Kagome stuttered, embarrassed, "I…we…umm…"
"I'll be in the sitting room if you need me honey," said her mother and walked out of the room, winking at InuYasha as she strode past him. There was a pregnant pause (no pun intended) between the two lovers as they stared at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. There was a sudden shout from the sitting room from Kagome's brother and grandfather, and Kagome giggled, InuYasha staring at her intently like an eagle.
"Where have you been?" he demanded, "Why didn't you come back?" Don't you care about me? Don't you care about us and the love I hold for you?
"InuYasha," Kagome began, "I am sorry that I had not come back in three months, and I am really sorry but I have something important to tell you." She walked towards him, and stared deeply into his golden eyes, praying for the right words to come from her mouth.
InuYasha looked at the woman he claimed as his mate, and noticed that there was an odd brightness in her eyes. They were sparkling and full of life. There was a flash of gold and silver and he thought he heard children giggling in the distance. He took her hands into his own and smiled gently at her, raising her hands to his lips. He heard her sigh as she felt the soft lips of the hanyou's brush lightly against her skin.
"InuYasha," Kagome whispered, lifting his chin with her hand, "This morning I took a very important test. It was to determine something that I have been thinking about for the past three months. Well, I got a positive answer on the test and," here, Kagome sighed deeply, "I found that I will be having your pup in the spring time." InuYasha's head shot up and he looked at her. She smiled radiantly at her lover, the happiness making a beautiful glow upon her face.
"Ka…Kagome. Is this true?" he asked her in disbelief as Sesshoumaru's words floated back into his head. Kagome simply smiled at him in sheer pleasure. InuYasha laughed out loud and picked her up, twirling her in his arms and kissing her full on the mouth. Kagome kissed him back, glad that he was not upset about having a child with her.
"You aren't upset about having a child?" Kagome asked, making her thoughts public.
"Of course I am not upset about it! I wonder if he will look like me and have my strength. Or perhaps that he'll look like me only some of the time, and then he'll look like you for some of the time," InuYasha replied as he rattled off ideas of what their child would look like. Describing that he would be free and not have a care in the world.
"Hey, we're going to educate our child in a school from my time InuYasha," Kagome said, placing her hands on her hips in mild anger.
"My son is not going to be forced to go to school!" he yelled back at her.
"SIT BOY!"
InuYasha fell flat onto his face, breaking the wooden floor for the millionth time.
