Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters. I actually feel sorry for him when Kagome sits him, even if I think its funny.

Chapter 2: Family
"Come on dearie. You can do it. Now all you have to do is push!" said the nurse soothingly to Kagome, who was screaming in pain and feeling like a watermelon was being pushed through a hole the size of a peanut. The doctors were ushering about in the background, one trying to instruct Kagome to breath deeply and try her best to push with all her might.
She was getting ready to strangle the doctor if he didn't shut up soon and do his job. She seriously wondered how youkai gave birth to their pups without having doctors and modern technology help them. It would have to be something she will look in to once her pups were born. Her pups. She liked the sound of that. Even though their birth father was not here right now, she would make sure that they would meet Inuyasha one day. She at least owed them that much. She only hoped that she would have enough money to support her pups.
The doctor's voice brought Kagome once again, back into the cold and painful reality of her birthing process. "Come on, Miss Higurashi. Just one more push and we will have this little guy out of here."
Kagome took in a deep breath and pushed with her remaining ounces of strength to get her first born child free from her body and into the world of the living. She screamed in pain and shut her eyes tight, her body's energy drained to a point where it was hard to breath. It was then at that moment she heard a loud wail with a joyful cry from the nurse that was so kind to her.
"Its a boy!"
Tears of joy crept into Kagome's eyes. Her first born child was a boy. A beautiful baby boy. She would love him as she loved Shippo. Yet unlike Shippo, this boy was her own son. By blood and soul. Yet Shippo was too. She would always remember it. Her thoughts were interrupted by a contraction that made her scream in pain, shutting her eyes once more. She had completely forgotten she was having tripletts. How could she forget?
Pushing that thought out of her mind, she followed the doctor's instructions and pushed again with her remaining strength, her body already fatigued and in pain. She knew this would have to end soon or her third child would be born as she died. Tears of pain ran down her cheeks, her body screaming for this to be over. She wouldn't last much longer. With a final push from her, another wail could be heard in the room with a responding cry from the nurse.
"O doctor look! Its a girl!"
Kagome cried this time, tears of joy and pain. She had a daughter and a son. A darling little girl and a beautiful little boy. She couldn't of been happier. Yet another contraction brought her back to the reality of the situation. She was fading fast and she had to get her third child out of her soon or her children would cease to have a mother. She pushed long and hard this time, ignoring the doctor's complaints that she was too weak. She had to get her child out of her. She could feel her life force fading and if she didn't hurry, it would steal her child away from her.
With one last final push, the baby was out and quiet, unlike its siblings. It just blinked and stared at the doctor, reaching for his glasses. This surprised the doctor, since most babies didn't know anything of their surroundings until a couple of weeks after birth. He smiled at the baby, knowing that this baby was special indeed.
Kagome had started to panic when she didn't hear her baby cry. Fear had gripped her soul so fast, that she would of jumped up and ran to her childern if she had the strength. Yet the thing was, she didn't have the strength at all. She hardly even had enough of it to breath in short raspy breaths that were dangerous for a mother that had just given birth to babies to have. Yet she had to know. She had to know if her child lived. Her last and final child.
Her thoughts were reassured as the nurse looked at her with kindness and smiled, her eyes staring deep into Kagome and right passed her illusion spell. She spoke, her voice soothing and calm. "She is fine Kagome. You are the mother of two darling girls and a baby boy."
These words brought relief to Kagome's heart and soul. She was the mother of three. Her children were all alive. She was alive. Everything was going to turn out fine. She didn't have to worry about leaving her childern. She now knew she would be around for a long time. Yet before she let herself rest, she asked the nurse one question. "Can you see through me?"
The nurse smiled, her eyes bright with mischief and life. She winked and smiled at Kagome, her heart shown in her smile and eyes. Her voice was still as smooth and soothing as ever. "Yes. I can see you Kagome. I know who you are. You will be a good mother, little sister...."
With those last words, the nurse left the room and Kagome feel into a dreamless restful sleep.

"Morning darling. I see that you are doing well this morning. How are my childern?" asked Akem, his voice sounding kinder yet still holding its hidden intentions quite well. He was sitting in a seat right next to Kagome's bed, with a newspaper in his lap and flowers in his right hand. A smile of pure evil on his face that was hidden well under a kind one as he waited for his beautiful and very intelligent daughter to reply.
Kagome looked over at Akem, her strength now back to its full since she had finally gotten the needed sleep she so graciously deserved. She sat up slightly, tucking a piece of her ebony locks behind her ear. She sighed and forced a smile, her eyes betraying her hatred for the man sitting right next to her. "I'm fine, Akem. And my children are fine as well. They are waiting to be held by their GRANDfather."
Akem's smile slipped a bit at this, his eyes becoming cold and distant. "I will be happy to hold them. Yet might I ask-"
Before he could continue, a nurse walked in, a bright smile on her old face. She had a checklist in her right hand and circles under her eyes. Kagome could tell she hadn't gotten a lot of sleep lately. The nurse just walked over to where the babies layed in their crib, taking a few notes as she checked a few things. Once she was done, she looked over at Kagome, her smile growing even brighter. She then spoke, her voice surprising Kagome. It sounded ageless and melodic, very unlike the voices most older women had. "How are you doing, Mrs. Higurashi? And you Mr. Higurashi. I know last night was a big night for the both of you."
Kagome smiled faintly, her face strained with being titled Mrs. instead of Miss. She hated that people thought she was married to her father. She couldn't go anywhere without Akem boasting about what a great wife he had that will bare him many sons and daughters. And she did bare him something. grandchildren. She would make sure that he never was the father of her children. Never in a million years would she let her children call him father. Never.
Kagome replied, knowing the nurse was wiating for her answer. "I am doing fine, Miss Robin. And please, I am not married. This is my father."
The nurse nodded, her eyes showing she wasn't convinced yet kept her thought to herself. "Well thats good. You may leave this afternoon. I only have one last thing to ask you and I will on my way. What are your children's names? We need to put their names down in the hospital's records. And Mr. Higurashi. I need you to leave the room."
Grumbling to himself, Akem left the room without even looking at Kagome. He had other things to think about. Like getting Kagome to become his very beautiful and submissive wife. This was completely unoticed by Kagome who finally realized what the nurse had said.
A gasp escaped Kagome, knowing she hadn't thought about naming her children anything yet. Names never occured to her. Yet she had to name them. Might as well pick names that you know will be good for her and her children to have for a long time. "My son's name is...." She paused, trying to think of a name that suited him. "Daidouji Kiyonobu. But he will be called Kenshin. My first daughter's name will be Daidouji Tsukiyama. But she will be called Tomoyo. And my youngest daughter will be Daidouji Yukarike. But she will be called Ying Fa. And I am Daidouji Hotaru. But I will be called Kagome."
The nurse nodded, recording the names down without question. She then left the room, leaving a smiling Kagome with hope in her eyes to start her life as something she has always wanted to be. A model under the name Daidouji Hotaru, who hopes to begin a new life with her children as the Daidouji Clan of Tokyo.
