It makes me feel so proud that people are enjoying it. -__- I have noticed my chapters and lemon scenes haven't been very long so I shall try and fix that with the next lemon that will be coming up shortly. O.O;; I've told you I've written most of this out! I have it all ready and I just need to type. Hmmm.I wonder what will happen in this chapter.

"I miss Kagome," Shippou pouted from in a tree as he squirmed through the tightly packed branches.
"They probably went to her world. I mean, they couldn't do anything here with us around," Sango suggested as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Are you kidding? You didn't hear them moaning at all yesterday? They were like rabbits with the voices of bears! Given the chance, those two would probably do it anywhere," Mirouku exclaimed.
"Sorry, Mirouku, but our ears don't perk up when someone's having sex. Are you mad because they're getting some and all your attempts have failed?"
"No. I honestly don't have anything against Kagome and Inuyasha being together. That lucky dog.More power to the two! I just wish that they would put their moaning on a mute and resort to some heavy panting instead."
"Mirouku, if I wasn't in such a good mood, I'd strangle you," Inuyasha growled as he emerged from the trees and into the clearing.
"Dog boy!" Shippou exclaimed, leaping out of the tree. "Where's Kagome? Isn't she with you?"
"She's back in her time. You know she's busy. School, preparing for a wedding, planning for a baby. Normal stuff."
"What?!" The trio exclaimed, all hopping to their feet and surrounding Inuyasha.
"A wedding?" Mirouku shouted while patting the hanyou on the shoulder in congratulations.
"A baby?" Sango asked rather loudly, but very thrilled at the thought.
"Back in her time?" Shippou squealed in his childish voice.
"Why aren't you back there with her? She should need at a time like this! A wedding, a baby, all that pressure!"
"Whoa! Whoa!" Inuyasha said, raising his arms in the air in surrender to the barrage of questions. "Yes, a wedding. We have to get married by her standards. Mine don't seem to be enough. And yes, a baby. She's going to have my pups. Shippou.shut up. And I can't be there because her grandfather caught us together and said I would only be a distraction to her in this already hard time."
"Question," Mirouku said, raising his hand in the air like a schoolboy. "What about your dead priestess who is roaming about? Kikyo."
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha whispered, seeming to go into a moment of deep thought. "I.I feel nothing for her anymore. I love Kagome now. Kikyo is a thing of the past."
"You don't sound very convincing, Inuyasha. But nonetheless, are you going to be human, youkai, or an adorable little hanyou for her?" Mirouku teased.
"Human, you idiot! That's why we need that last piece of the jewel! Now get off your lazy asses and let's go! WE can't waste any time!"
"But," Shippou began, sounding a bit worried, "don't we need Kagome for that? She can see the shards."
"We have that old hag now for that job."

Back in Modern Times.
"Mama, am I supposed to be this fat?" Kagome groaned as she made her way into the kitchen. "It's only been two months and I look six months pregnant! This shouldn't be happening!"
"I suppose Inuyasha's seed speeds up the whole process, Kagome. I really don't know anything at all about demons and their reproduction. You'd have to ask him when he comes back," Mrs. Higurashi replied, emptying what seemed to be stew into a bowl. "Speaking of Inuyasha, when is he supposed to return?"
"I told him to come back in 80 days. That's all I really know him to count up to. I figured by that time he would be more useful around the house and Grandpa wouldn't have to worry about him and me doing.yea. He still has about 19-20 days left, so there's still time, Mama. He's searching for the last jewel shard.
Time flash.20 days.
"Mama! Come quick!" Kagome screamed, clutching her stomach and leaning back against a wall by the well. "It better not be coming this fast!"
Promptly, Mrs. Higurashi, Grandpa, and Sota came running out of the house and over to the well where Kagome was hoping to see Inuyasha return. All of them had looks of worry on, but Kagome's mother seemed more thrilled than anything. "Is it the baby?" Sota squealed, jumping up and down.
"Why do you think? You think I just decided to grab my stomach and scream for the hell of it?" Kagome shouted, sliding down the wall and onto the ground. "This can't happen without Inuyasha here!"
"Kagome, Dear, this isn't something you can just hold in! It's a baby! It needs to come out!"
"I can, I will, and it can't! When Inuyasha gets here, we can negotiate about it coming out or not!"
"Kagome," Grandpa started, "I can try one of my summoning spells to get Inuyasha here! It's worked with you a few times!"
"Gah! Enough with the spells, Gramps! Just jump down the well! Maybe he'll hear you and come back like he did with Sota one time. AHHHH!"
"There went the water," Mrs. Higurashi commented, now becoming very flustered with this whole situation. "Sota, be a dear and get me a lot of towels and some boiling water. I guess we'll have to deliver the baby here since Kagome refuses to leave."
"Boiling water? What? Are you gonna cook me? I don't need any boiling water!"
"Yes, Mom," Sota said and scurried off into the house.
"I told you! It's not coming until Inuyasha gets here!" Then, bowing her head, she shouted, "DON'T YOU DARE COME OUT YET!!"
"Kagome! This isn't helping the condition! You need to just have this baby!"
"I'm not having this baby yet, Mom! Grandpa, stop your chanting! The spell won't work and it's giving me a headache. Sota.what are you going to do with that water? Get it away from me!"
"Suck it up, Sis," Sota groaned as he sat down on the edge of the well.
"Suck it up? SUCK IT UP?!" Kagome screamed, ready to pounce on her little brother. "Try pulling your bottom lip over your head and then say, 'Suck it up!' I dare you, Sota! Go on! Let me see you say it after that!"
"Push, Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi ordered.
"Like hell I will! Gramps! Please stop you damn chanting!"
The next half hour was full of Kagome screaming, Grandpa summoning, Mama ordering, and Sota pouting. No one was very excited about the circumstances or Kagome's attitude on the birth of her first child. Still, she would not give in to pushing until Inuyasha was there with her and by her side.
"Who in the Gods name are you?" Came a sudden shout from Grandpa.
"Who the hell do you think I am?" Shouted back a familiar voice.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome panted, now quite exhausted from her ranting and ravings.
Inuyasha swung over the side of the well and sitting down next to Sota on the edge. Kagome went speechless a moment as she stared at him curiously. He was human. The jet-black hair, the human ears, and the whole nine yards. Also, clung to his back, was Shippou. "Kagome!" The kitsune tyke exclaimed as he launched off of Inuyasha's back. "Wow, you sure got fat! Your belly that is. You've been eating a lot, haven't you?"
"Gee, thanks Shippou-Chan," Kagome said sarcastically.
"It's been 80 days, hasn't it? What happened to you Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he got up and walked over to her. "Baby coming now?"
"Naw, I just decided to spread my legs and scream. OF COURSE I'M HAVING THE BABY!"
"DON'T START YELLING AT ME!"
"I HAVE A REASON TO SCREAM! I'M IN LA-AHHHHH-BOR!"
"Push, Kagome! Inuyasha's here now," Mrs. Higurashi ordered.
Kagome finally gave into the constant pains building up in her stomach and began to push. Between the screams of completely agony, Kagome managed to shout, "Where the hell have you been? Between Gramps' chanting and my screaming, I figured you would have head!"
"And I figured you would have noticed by now that I'm human and don't have my dog ears anymore! It's gonna be kinda hard for me to hear you shouting from what.another dimension!"
"Nani yo?! So you want deaf now?!"
"Ah, just keep pushing and shut up!"
And so Kagome did. Pushing and screaming about filled her schedule. It was definitely a switch from the dreams she had had about having her baby. She imagined a nice room in the hospital, a man in white telling her push, and a damn good drug stopping the pain. But no, she had a filthy well, her mother, and nothing but a death grip on Inuyasha's hand to stop the pain.
"Mom, what's that?" Sota asked as he pointed.
"Sota! Don't look!" Kagome squealed after she pushed.
"It's a head! One more push, Kagome! It's almost over!"
"I can't push anymore! I'm too tired."
"A head?" Inuyasha echoed, raising a brow. "The head of.my pup? PUSH KAGOME!! PUSH!"
"You jerk! Next time you're pushing," Kagome growled.
Kagome screamed as she used her last bit of energy to push. And then.it was over. A squeal and then a cry emitted from the child Mrs. Higurashi held wrapped in a towel. "A girl," Kagome's mother said softly.
"'A girl'." Inuyasha repeated, tugging on the collar of his kimono. "Wow.I have a girl."
"Oo!" Shippou squealed, hopping up to get a better look at the baby.
"Can I.hold her?" Inuyasha asked a bit hesitantly, and taking a step towards his future mother-in-law.
"Of course," she replied, holding out the child to him. "Hold her head. Cradle her. Make sure she doesn't fall."
Inuyasha took the baby, following the directions on how to carry her. This was the first time he held something so little and vulnerable. Sure, he had held Kagome so many times, but no matter what, Kagome was always strong. This child was soft and so tiny. She looked like him. The puppy dog- ears that poked out of the top of her head were almost exact replicas of her father's, yet they were creased. Her hair was a soft brown, as if it were a mixture of the silver and the black of her parents. And already in her mouth were small fangs. "She's beautiful like her mother," he whispered, almost in disbelief that he could ever help create a creature like this.
Then he kneeled down next to Kagome and held out the child to her. "Say 'Hello' to your daughter, Kagome."
"Our daughter," she corrected him, cradling the baby in her arms and softly kissing her mate.

"You don't sound very convincing, Inuyasha. But nonetheless, are you going to be human, youkai, or an adorable little hanyou for her?" Mirouku teased.
