Ch.6 An Unexpected Surprise

Inuyasha lay his head on the side of the bathtub, reveling in his time so close to the woman he loves. Said woman continued her bath, doing her best not to splash or disturb her husband in any way.

'He deserves some time to rest.' Kagome thought, pausing from washing her arms. 'All he does is worry about me, night and day. Sometimes I think I take it all for granted, I could be stuck with Hojo for goodness sake.' Kagome stifled a giggle that was barely audible- to her ears that is.

"What's so funny?" Inuyasha queried looking up into Kagome's glowering eyes. The brown (sorry anime style) shown brightly through the happiness she was experiencing.

"Oh, its nothing Inuyasha. Just thinking."

"About what?" Inuyasha returned to his previous position, with his back against the tile bathtub.

"No way, you wouldn't tell me what you were thinking about earlier! Why should I tell you if you wouldn't return the action? Hmm?" Kagome asked, giggling as she talked, trying not to sound stern.

"It's not that I wouldn't tell you, I just didn't." Inuyasha said closing his eyes as he began to think about what he was going to say. "Well, if you must know, the other night I was just thinking about our future. Really, I was thinking about being a father, and whether I was going to be able to handle it all." Inuyasha said quickly in earnest.

Kagome stared at the back of his head. 'Man, he's really changed. What is it about him that is so different.' Kagome thought. "Inuyasha, you will be a great father." Kagome said wrapping her soaking arms around his neck and nuzzling her cheek against his the best she could thanks to her huge stomach. "I'm sure of it."

Inuyasha leaned into her as she rubbed their cheeks together, unfazed by the fact that she was drenched in water. "Thanks Kagome, you'll be a good parent too. Now, what were you laughing at?"

"Wow, you really want to know." Kagome asked and with a nod from her husband she began to speak. "I was just thinking about all that you've done for me, and how grateful I am that you're with me." Kagome said as she untangled herself from Inuyasha and sat against the sloping backside of the tub.

"What's so funny about that?"

"Well, I was thinking about who I could be with if it wasn't you. Sorry, just thinking about being married to Hojo made me laugh a little." Kagome said smiling at the way Inuyasha jumped at the name.

"Whatever. Are you done with that bath yet?" Inuyasha asked, obviously a little irritated with the mention of the "boy".

"Yup, one second." She said putting the final touches on her cleaning. "Okay, go get me a towel, and don't you dare say there aren't any."

Inuyasha sat up and went straight to the sink and opened the double doors below it. "Here." He said throwing a floral towel at the now standing Kagome as she stepped out of the bathtub. Grabbing an extra one he headed toward the raven-haired girl.

Kagome began to dry herself off, suddenly she felt something on her legs. Looking down, over her belly she saw Inuyasha at the base of her feet, gently drying off her legs and feet. She smiled at him and continued to dry herself off.

Inuyasha finished drying right above her thigh before quickly moving to her backside. Moving her hair aside he wiped off her shoulder blades and continued down to her lower back, and soon down to her butt. Kagome continued drying herself, making it obvious that this was a usual occurrence.

After Inuyasha had done everything that he could and Kagome was completely dry, he helped her into her maternity clothes. They sat in the corner side by side, in silence.

"Thanks Inuyasha, you always do so much for me. Mark my words, as soon as this baby is born, I'll repay you fully." Kagome said with a wink, as she placed her hand on his chest.

Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk at what she was suggesting. Chuckling, he wrapped his arms around Kagome and brought her closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder, her damp black hair cascading down his front. Inuyasha kissed the top of her head and laid the rest of his body against the wall and closed his eyes. 'Perfect.' He thought before they both fell asleep, Inuyasha from the lack-of and Kagome because she was just plain exhausted.

A few hours later, Kagome woke up suddenly. Gasping for breath, she placed her hands all around her stomach and began to rub viciously. The pain was so excruciating she could barely move or speak.

"I. Inu. INUYASHA!" Kagome got out as quickly as she could, screaming as she bent over her stomach. The pain becoming unbearable.

"What, don't scream like that. What do you want?" Inuyasha asked rubbing his ears, oblivious to his surroundings. Looking at Kagome it clicked in that miniscule brain of his. "Oh my gods. Are you."

"YES!" Kagome screamed, rocking back and forth.

Before Inuyasha could stand up and start running around in wickedly fast circles, Kagome grabbed his arm in what could only be described as a death grip.

"Do something you bastard." Kagome said through clenched teeth. Inuyasha stared at her sudden outburst, but brushed it away as he smelled something weird emitting from his wife's lower half. Kagome screamed as her water broke.

Inuyasha could smell everything that was happening to her body, every action every emotion she went through. "Uh, umm. Let's see." Inuyasha took a few deep breaths before he grabbed the damp towel next to them and placed in underneath her head. "Be right back." He said as he pried her shaking hand off his arm. 'Wow, she's destructive.' He thought as he looked at the bleeding cuts she caused on his left arm. 'I have to do this, Kagome could die if I mess this up.' Inuyasha thought as he grabbed some more towels, dampening a small one and walking over to the woman in labor.

Squatting next to Kagome he put the washcloth on her head and moved down to her lower half. Spreading her legs he positioned himself in between them. He pulled off her wet pants and underwear in one fluid motion (practice makes perfect, hehe).

Kagome continued to scream. Inuyasha stared at her sweat covered face, now very confused and stressed by the whole situation.

"Now what?" He asked.

"WHAT? Deliver the damn thing." Kagome yelled through clenched teeth as she arched her back in pain.

"I don't know how!" He yelled back. "You've watched Kaede deliver babies, what does she normally do?"

"Can you see anything yet?" Kagome said breathing heavily.

"No, wait yes. I think it's a head. Um, or maybe not. I don't know." Inuyasha said.

"It better be a head, okay I'll push and you just ease it out, pull gently if you must, and just get it out!" Kagome said through several yelps and cries.

"Okay, push then." Inuyasha said, placing his hands where the child was beginning to come.

Okay, that looked like a good place to stop. I hope this is at least a little close to how you deliver a baby. I know that you can have one in the bathtub, but it'd be really complicated. Anyway, bare with me and if you see anything wrong tell me, I've never had a baby so I wouldn't really know what happens. Okay, I'm on break so I'll write more soon. Thanks for reading and continue to please. Thanks to all of my reviewers too, you will all get recognition at the end of this story, whether you reviewed once or for every chapter, you'll see your name up there. Thanks again.
