When All Else Fails
Chapter 7
"I can't believe it's taking so long. What do you think the doctor is going to say?" Kagome anxiously paced the floor of the doctor's office.
Inuyasha, smirking about the fact that for once he got to be the calm, level-headed one, replied, "I don't really know. I'm not any more of a mind reader than you are."
Kagome glared at him, "You're really not helping."
It had been almost a month since things had returned to relative normalcy. Not long after the day that Kagome had first held Yusuke, she and Inuyasha started talking about trying to have kids again. Now they were standing in the doctor's office, waiting to find out what the chances were that they would still be able to have children. Kagome was nervous about the appointment while Inuyasha seemed completely certain that everything would turn out all right.
Finally, the doctor entered the room. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome around the waist to keep her from attacking the poor women (A/N: My doctor is a female).
"Well, can we still have children or not?" Kagome asked impatiently.
The doctor cleared her throat, "I'm afraid there is no way to be certain. No one can ever be sure that they'll be able to conceive or carry a child to full term until they actually do it. And you did receive some serious damage. It's only been, what, three months or so since your accident? But you are young and otherwise healthy. I would tend to believe you are still capable of having children. Of course, there is always the idea of adoption if it's not possible. But something tells me that you won't have to worry about that."
Four months later, Kagome and Inuyasha received the answer they had been looking for as Kagome discovered that she was again pregnant. Not only that, but during an ultrasound, it was discovered that they were expecting not one, not two, but three children. If Kagome thought Inuyasha had been excited the first time, it was nothing compared to now. He once again ran through the village, telling everyone he ran into the great news.
Kagome's family was extremely pleased with the news. Kagome's mother was especially thrilled to notice that her daughter and son-in-law were truly happy once again. And that she would get three adorable grandchildren all at the same time.
Their friends in Sengoku Jidai were also thrilled for the couple. When they found out that Kagome and Inuyasha were expecting triplets, Miroku had gotten a lecherous look in his eye as he had turned to Inuyasha and exclaimed, "Triplets! Why you sly dog, you!" This had earned the monk a beating by Inuyasha.
After nine months, Kagome had given birth to healthy triplets. She and Inuyasha had two sons and a daughter. Their names were Shigure, Shiro, and Shiori (A/N: For those who don't know, Shigure and Shiro are the names of characters from other stories who turn into dogs and in Mars, the character Shiori was compared to a Pomeranian).
It was now three years later and Kagome and Inuyasha sat with their friends under the Go-Shinboku, watching their children play in the area.
Yusuke, now four years old, looked very much like his father but was much more reserved. Thanks in part to his mother, he was actually extremely well mannered towards women and there was some hope that he wouldn't grow up to be a lecher. Along with Yusuke, Miroku and Sango were now expecting their second child and both were secretly hoping for a girl.
Inuyasha and Kagome's children were quite the mix of their parents. All three had the ability to change between human appearance and having their father's trademark dog-ears, fangs and claws. Shiori had her mother's raven hair and her father's gold eyes. Out of the three, she was the one whose personality most resembled Inuyasha's. She was extremely adventuresome and she had a tendency to sulk when things didn't go her way. Inuyasha spoiled her to no end. Shiro had a mass of white hair like his father, with his mother's blue-gray eyes. He was a cheerful, outgoing child with an infectious smile. Shigure was possibly the most interesting of the three. His hair was dark silver and his eyes were a vivid green. Interestingly enough he was also the one of the children who seemed most likely to take on Miroku's lecherous personality and he was happiest when surrounded by females.
Inuyasha looked around and thought about how nice it felt to be surrounded by his friends and family. There had been a time when he hadn't been able to imagine living like this. And now he had found true acceptance and happiness living a relatively peaceful life. As Kagome snuggled up to him, he suddenly realized that things would be all right from now on. Despite everything they had already been through and anything they might go through in the future, he knew that everything would be okay because the one thing that he had learned through all of this was that even when all else fails, love and friendship would help them pull through.
