Chapter 12: Here comes the baby!

Miroku went outside and looked for any signs of Inuyasha. 'Hmm. If I were Inuyasha, were would I be?' "I know!" Miroku said out loud. Miroku ran off towards the park that was 3 blocks away.

At the park.

Inuyasha sat in his favorite tree and looked to the heavens. He heard someone call him name and saw Miroku running towards him. 'Shit. I knew I should have went somewhere else.'

Miroku ran to the trees trunk and leaned against it. None of them spoke for a while. Miroku broke the eerie silence. "Inuyasha. What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You hurt Kagome by yelling at her."

"Does it look like I care?"

"You are acting so strange. You would never purposely hurt Kagome so why did you say those hateful things?"

"She'll get over it."

"Inuyasha, if you keep treating her like you do, she wont want to marry you."

"Feh. What do you know."

"I know something's wrong. Tell me now."

Inuyasha sighed and jumped out of the tree. He sat cross-legged by Miroku.

"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone. Promise?"

"I promise." Miroku said, 'Finally he is opening up.'

"I know the truth about Kagome and her pregnancy."

"What truth is that?" Miroku said trying to act dumb.

"You know as well as Sango so don't play dumb with me. I know she has a small chance of living giving birth. I don't know what I would do if I lost her."

"How did you find out?" Miroku said puzzled.

"I overheard you talking. I am hurt that she didn't tell me. If she can't tell her own mate the truth, it makes me wonder what else she has been laying to me about."

"You know Inuyasha," Miroku said standing up, "This hurts Kagome more than it hurts you. It's not easy to lie to the people that you love. Keeping it locked up inside her didn't help it. That is why she told us. She was going to tell you when the time was right. I don't know exactly when the time would be right but she was going to tell you."

"I just wish she should've told me right off the bat. It hurts to be lied to by the ones that you love." Inuyasha said standing up as well.

"I know. She shouldn't have kept that from you but that was her choice. That doesn't give you the right to take out your anger on her. She's pregnant with your kid and the extra stress doesn't help her. Now. Lets go home. You and Kagome have a LOT to talk about."

Inuyasha smirked and walked off with Miroku towards their home.

"Kagome! I made your favorite food! Its oden!"

Kagome went into the kitchen where Sango was standing. "Thanks Sango but I don't feel very well. I'm just going to go upstairs and lay down."

"Ok. Just yell if you need anything." Sango smiled and went back to preparing her oden.

Just as Kagome went upstairs, her water broke. (InuLover- you know what people, I have no clue how pregnant peoples water breaks. If fact, I have no clue about anything to do with pregnancy. Sorry if my information about it is off.)

Kagome felt worried as the thought of her death came to mind. She tried to yell for Sango, but she couldn't find her voice. She felt lightheaded and fell to the ground next to the bottom stairs.

Sango heard a loud thump and went to see what happened. She ran out of the kitchen and found Kagome lying in a heap on the floor. She also saw that her water broke. She quickly grabbed the phone and dialed 911.

"Hello? Help me please! My friend is in labor and she fainted!"

"We'll send an ambulance over right away miss."

"O thank god!" Sango heard the door open and saw Miroku and Inuyasha standing there.

"Miroku! Inuyasha! Kagome lost consciousness and she's in labor!"

"O god Kagome!" Inuyasha ran to her side with Miroku at his heels. Sango sobbed quietly into Miroku hoping that Kagome wont die.

Inuyasha heard the ambulance sirens. A man stepped inside their home.

"Please step back. We need to get her on a stretcher." Inuyasha left his loves side and watched a group of men put Kagome on a stretcher and wheel her off towards the ambulance. All he could do is watch in horror.

"Are you her husband?" An older man asked Inuyasha. "I'm her fiancée" Inuyasha said.

"Get in your cars. The police will escort you to the hospital." Inuyasha nodded and grabbed his car keys. Sango and Miroku got in the car with Inuyasha. Inuyasha sped towards the hospital with a police car in front of him.

As soon as Inuyasha got there, he ran inside and asked the receptionist where Kagome was.

"I'm sorry. Your fiancée is in critical care. You can not go in there but you can wait outside for the doctor to come and talk to you."

Inuyasha nodded and ran towards the room that held Kagome. He ran down the white hallways in search for his love. 'I know I can't go in there but the least I can do is stay outside her doorway.'

Inuyasha stopped by the door and sat himself in a chair. His thoughts buzzed his mind like a swarm of angry bees.

'It was my fault that she's like this. I shouldn't have yelled at her. That's what made her go into labor. It's my fault. It's my fault. It will be my fault if she dies. It's my fault. All my fault.'

His thoughts plagued his mind and he couldn't take it. He felt like shit and wanted to see his lover. 'Its all my fault. Its all my fault.' The words played in his mind like a broken record.

'How could I be so stupid? How could I doubt our love for even one second? I'm such an idiot. She doesn't deserve me. It's all my fault. Its all my fault.'

The door swung open and Dr. Jaken stepped out of the room.

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha nodded.

"Well, Kagome is in critical care right now. The extra stress on her made the baby go into early labor. Things don't look to bright right now."

"Just please, tell me. Is she going to live?"

"I can't tell you that right now. If she gets any worse, she could die. I will do everything that I can to save her."

"May I see her?"

"She's sleeping right now so don't wake her up. She came back into consciousness and went back to sleep again when we were checking on the baby. Try not to wake her up. You have 5 minutes."

Inuyasha headed into the room. She saw his love hooked up to a whole bunch of wires. Even near death, she looked so cute sleeping.

Inuyasha sat by her bedside and grabbed her hand, squeezing it slightly.

"I promise that you wont leave me. I love you." Inuyasha said out loud.

Kagome stirred in her sleep.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said fluttering her eyes open

"I'm here. Nothing can take you away from me now. I have to tell you, I know the truth."

"Oh Inuyasha! I'm so sorry that I lied to you! It was wrong." Kagome started sobbing and Inuyasha pulled her into a hug.

"Its ok Kagome. You're going to live." Inuyasha said, stroking her hair.

"Inuyasha. I'm scared."

"Scared of what?" Inuyasha asked staring into her brown eyes.

"Death. I am scared I will die and leave you and my friends forever."

"Don't talk like that. You have to be strong." Inuyasha said hugging her again.

The doctor entered the room again and interrupted the tender moment.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry, you have to leave."

"Please. Just 5 more minutes. This could be the last time I could see her." Inuyasha said trying to hold back the tears.

The doctor nodded and left the room.

"Inuyasha. If I do die, promise me something."

"What's that?"

"Love me forever. Be true to me forever and I'll stay with you all of my life."

"Of course." Inuyasha said kissing Kagome. "But you have to promise me something as well."

"What is it?"

"Don't die."

Kagome smiled. "Of course I won't die. I promise" Inuyasha hugged his Kagome.

They stayed in each others arms until the doctor came back.

"Inuyasha, could I see you outside?"

"Sure. Bye Kagome. I love you forever."

"I love you too." Kagome said giving Inuyasha one last kiss before he had to leave.

Once Inuyasha and Dr. Jaken were outside, Kagome laid back down and tried to sleep and ignore her contractions.

"Inuyasha. Kagomes labor could last as long as 12 hours. I can promise you that you can be in there to watch the pregnancy, just as any other couple would."

"Ok. Thanks."

Dr. Jaken returned to Kagomes bedside and started asking her questions about her contractions and what she ate today.

Miroku and Sango walked towards Inuyasha and sat beside him. No one said anything for a long time. (Sango and Miroku parked the car.)

Sango broke the silence. "Have you talked to her yet?"

"Hai." Was all Inuyasha could say.

They continued to sit around and say nothing to each other. Inuyasha couldn't even make eye contact with anyone. Even though he said he was sorry to Kagome, he still felt responsible.

Sango stayed quiet for most of the time. Miroku tried to keep Sango from crying and worrying. It was hard though. Kagome is Sango's best friend and just the thought of loosing her was heartbreaking. Miroku felt the same way but did not want to show his emotions. He wanted to keep Sango calm.

Inuyasha looked as if he could start to have a nervous brake down any second. His whole body shook and his eyes screamed worry and pain. 'Kami, I know I have asked for a lot but please keep my Kagome safe and my unborn child.' Inuyasha closed his eyes for a moment to soak in what is going on. It just hasn't hit him yet that he could loose his whole life just because of some stupid disease.

~!*Inuyashas POV*!~

How could she have lied to me? It makes me feel like she can't trust me. I know it's not her fault but I still feel anger towards the whole situation. It was my fault. I put her into labor to quickly because I yelled at her and made her upset. I was the cause of the problem.

It makes me sick to my stomach to even think about Kagomes condition. I'm so glad I atleast got to talk to her for a little while. It hasn't hit me that I could loose my love and my baby in about 12 hours.

I get up a pace around. I need something to calm me down. I need to see her. She's my drug and I can't get enough. What happens if she dies? What will become of me then? Would I find a new love? No. I wont. I made a promise to her that I would love her forever. I would just wait for her in heaven.

I need to stop thinking about death. It's giving me a headache. She won't die. She promised. She won't die. Maybe if I say those words over and over again it will come true. Who am I kidding? Kagome.. please don't leave me. I cant , no I WONT live without you.

"What the hell are you staring at Miroku?"

"Nothing Inuyasha you just look like your having a major debate in your mind. Your making me worry."

"Feh."

I sit back down. I need to see her. I need to feel her. I need to atleast be by her side. That's what mates are for. I can't wait any longer. If that damn doctor doesn't come back I'll..

"Inuyasha?"

"What?" MAN! I can't be left alone for one second!

"How was Kagome? Was she doing good when you saw her?"

"She was fine. She acted normal but the only different thing was she had a whole bunch of wires attached to her. Why do ya wanna know?"

"I just wanted to make sure she looked and acted like herself. That's a good sign if she does."

"Oh."

Now back to my thoughts.

"Inuyasha?" Dr. Jaken stepped out of Kagomes room.

DAMN IT! I CANT THINK WITH EVERYONE SAYING MY NAME!

"What?"

"Do you want to see Kagome again before we take more tests on her. This may be the last time you get to see her before her labor starts"

"Hell yea I do!" YAY! I getta see Kagome!

~!*Kagomes POV*!~

I feel like shit. That's about the best way I can explain it. Shit. Shitty shit shit shit! MY chest hurts, my contractions are getting worse, and the baby is like a kick boxer. I try not to cry. Just try and be strong because I know if I do cry, I wont survive. Plus, I don't want to worry anyone.

I hear the door open. Inuyasha? FINALLY! I have been bored and in pain all alone. I finally get some company. Inuyasha moves to my side with no hesitation.

"How are you feeling?"

"Not so good." Man my voice is hoarse. I can't believe that he can actually understand me. I can barely make a sound.

Inuyasha grabs my hand and squeezes in tight.

"I'm here for you." He says. He kisses my forehead. I already feel better. He has the healing touch for me. I am reminded right away after that how much pain I am in when my baby kicks for the umpteenth time.

I groan.

"What's wrong?" I love it when he has that all "concerned face" of his. He looks sooooo cute.

"The baby kicked again." He put his hand on my stomach. I melt into his touch. I cant wait till this is over and I get to live with my friends and family for the rest of my life. If I do live. No. I can't think like that. I WILL live. There, that's better.

Inuyasha smiled at me. His smile... There's just something about it. Makes me feel as if I am the only person in the world.

I smile back at him. "Inuyasha." I whisper. He pulls me into a gentle hug.

"What is it Kagome?" He says into my hair.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I needed to hear him say it again. I feel so alive when he tells me he loves me. Even though our time is short together, I will savor it.

I will be stuck in this damn hospital all night. Inuyasha would have to sleep outside my room while these doctors monitor my heart and check up on me. I can feel this baby, and its not coming anytime soon. I'd say I'll have it tomorrow in the morning.

"Inuyasha. If I do die, I want you to keep me in your heart forever. You will always be in mine and I will wait for you."

"Don't talk like that Kagome. You won't die. I wont let you."

I smile. He can be so caring when he wants to be. If I feel it's my time to go, then I will go to the heavens and wait for him. I don't know exactly when my time is but I will know when it comes. Until then I will love him unconditionally.

Kind of a short chapter but oh well. Nothing much more to say but REVIEW! Thanks a bunchies.
