A/N: I promise I've never read Daddy Dearest. So I'm really sorry if it's similar. I don't mean it to be. Thank you to the few of you that have reviewed though. I appreciate it.

Miroku gulped as he walked over to the crying demon exterminator, who was sitting under a huge tree.
"Sango I. . ."
She jumped and immediately readied her weapons for fighting.
Miroku threw up his hands, "I come in peace. . ." he said, trying to lighten the mood. Sango just sighed and sat back down on the far side of the tree away from the monk.
"Sango I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."
"Sure you didn't. You had sex with a girl you just asked to bear your child and didn't really want her to get pregnant. I don't even know why I'm surprised."
"Sango. . ."
"Shut up monk. I should kill you. I really should. It would solve all my problems. . .I was so close to telling. . ."
"Telling what?"
"Telling you. . ." she gulped and covered her hace with her hands.
Miroku took a deep breath, ready to get slapped, and sat down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Surprisingly she leaned into his embrace.
"I love you Miroku, that's what I was going to tell you."
He couldn't help but smile, luckily the girl in his arms couldn't see it, or he would've been six feet under. He of course already knew that she cared for him. But he didn't know if she knew that he cared for her.
"Sango, that's why I came here. I need to explain what happened, I don't love her, even though I should, I don't. . .I can't right now."
She tried to sit up and look at him but he forced her to stay where she was. He couldn't look at her in the face as he said this.
"I knew her when I was young. We in a round about way grew up together in the same village. We were young teenagers when we met and every day for years I asked her to bear my child. Finally one day she said yes. We hardly knew each other even though we had been near each for so long, Sango, I never had feelings for her. I was scared that she thought I did so I left the morning after. It didn't matter to me that she could be pregnant and that I knew she probably was because she was in heat when we had sex."
"How could you leave knowing she was probably carrying your child?" The tone of her voice made Miroku cringe. She was angry with him now for leaving.
"I was scared Sango. I didn't know her as well I would've liked to have known the mother of my child. I didn't know her well enough to love her. I don't really remember much about her that I did know. All I wanted was a child, just in case I died."
"But what now? Why are you not scared anymore?"
"Because. . .Seeing a family that was around each other. Seeing how it's supposed to be. I know I can't let my son grow up the way I did."
"Who's family?" she sat up, his arms being relaxed because he thought she was ok with just sitting there. She looked at him, his eyes were filled with tears that hadn't shown through his voice.
"Your's Sango, your brother, and what you've told us of your father. I don't want my son growing up without that family. And he can't have that family if his father loves a woman other than his mother."
"What if you find out you can't love her. What if she just gets on your nerves so bad you can't stand it."
"I'll have to. . ."
"Miroku, a family that fights is worse than a father who isn't there."
"Sango, I have to do this. I'm going to get to know her and hopefully I'll love her. I knew her well enough to be attracted to her, over time I'm sure I'll fall in love with her, just like I fell in love with you. . ."
"Me?"
"Yes, Sango, I love you. I took me a little bit to fall in love with you. As much as you hit me, it took a bit longer than normal."
Sango smiled slightly. "She's not forcing you to marry her?"
"No. She actually told me I could be with you if I really wanted to. You don't know how tempting that was for me. But I'd never est peacefully that way."
"It's your life Miroku. . ."
"This is the only choice Sango."
Sango leaned over and brushed her lips over his softly. He couldn't help but react and deepen the kiss. He placed his gloved hand on her cheek as the kiss become more and more passionate. Every emotion that they had held bottled up until then came out in that one kiss.
"What was that for?" Miroku asked breathless when the kiss was finally broken off.
"Because now you are no longer a free man. And I won't ever get the chance to do it again." she bit her lips trying not to cry as she stood up. "I'll always love you Miroku, and if you change your mind on her offer to not marry her, I'll be here." She walked back to the camp, leaving Miroku with his thoughts.
"No longer a free man? I never thought about it that way. . ." he said sighing, still sitting underneath the tree.
