Kagome got to the other side of the well. It was hot out, and because it was summer, she felt weak and she wanted to go back because it was different weather in InuYasha's time. She got out of the well and went back to her house.
"Mama? Mama?" She asked, as she wandered the Higurashi Shrine. She was in Kagome's room, sitting on her bed.
"Kagome!" She said appalled. "Is everything okay?" She asked, as she stood up, and went to give Kagome a hug. When her mom touched her back, Kagome made a harsh groan, when she pulled away.
"I hurt my back very badly. I fell a hundred feet, a demon grabbed me. On my birthday too! Oh, Mama! I would have come back, but, I was too injured! I'm so sorry!" She cried, and spoke very quickly.
"Kagome..." Her mom started slowly.
"But, mama, I need to go to the hospital." She said, as she went to go sit on her bed, her mom joined her.
"Aren't you all better?" She asked her, concerned.
"Mama, I think...I think...I might be..." She started as she cried more. And, she pointed at her stomach.
"Oh my!" her mom said shocked. "Kagome, you think you might be-pregnant?" She asked as she lowered her voice. Kagome nodded her head. "Kagome! That's excellent news!" She raised her voice happily. Kagome looked up and wiped her tears.
"What?" She asked confused.
"So, whose the father?" her mom asked, getting carried away. Kagome looked at her.
"InuYasha." Kagome said. Her mom gave her a confused look. "What?"
"I'd like to see how this turns out." She laughed. Kagome looked at her shockingly. Her mom was happy that she was pregnant!?
"Mama. Seriously, I'd like to know whether I'm going to have a baby or not." She stated. Her mom became serious and nodded her head. They took the subway together to the hospital (A/N: If you're wondering where Sota is, he's old enough to take care of himself) Kagome and her mom saw the doctor.
"We will find the results in two weeks. In the mean time, you should be careful. Watch what you eat, and here are some pamphlets" The nurse handed them pamphlets, as they walked out the door. They got back to the shrine and kagome as sitting at the table while her mom was making dinner.
"Mama, I'm going to stay home, I don't want to take any risks of getting attacked by another demon." She said.
"Good Idea. What about InuYasha though? If you do have a child, he needs to know that he's going to be a father doesn't he? And, InuYasha can't stay here forever. Remember, nine months darling." She told her, as she poured tea for Kagome.
Kagome sighed. "I know. I told him to stay put, or I'd be mad." Kagome said.
"So, you and InuYasha...did it?" Her mom asked nervously.
Kagome was speechless. "Mama!!" Kagome yelled embarrassed as Sota entered the house.
"Kagome!" He yelled, he ran up to her, and attempted to give her a hug, but she stopped him, and warned him about her back, she could move it, and it was fine, but, if large pressure was on it, her back would sting.
"Kagome, I told you we should have stopped to help you get better." Her mom said.
"Mama, I told you we shouldn't because they'd ask how. I can't say, oh I fell a hundred feet because a demon was squeezing me!" She argued back to her, and imitated.
"Right." Her mom said agreeing.
InuYasha stood by the well, for a least a day. Miroku walked up to him.
"InuYasha...there you are. Where's Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"She's gone." He said, as if it was the end of the world.
"For good?!" Miroku yelled.
"No...she told me, that she needs to find something out, she won't be back for two weeks." InuYasha said.
"I don't think Sango will be too happy about this. Looks like we have to stay at the village." Miroku said doubtfully.
InuYasha sighed as he stood up, and walked away along with Miroku.
Two weeks later
Kagome woke up to a beautiful morning. She was very happy that her period was gone, and she could finally know the results. She had a mild disbelief that she was, and she just wanted to know, just to make herself happy again. She had been very emotional and missed InuYasha, but, she knew she was allowed to go see him, once she got her results. At that very moment, the phone rang. Everyone knew who it was going to be for, and for what reason. They were all very anxious, especially Kagome. She really did want to have a child; but, she felt she wasn't really ready, and what about InuYasha? She can't go back and forth jumping through a well, just to see InuYasha. Kagome picked up the phone, on its second ring, and her mom and Sota were standing behind her.
"Kagome Higurashi?" The nurse asked.
"Yes?" Kagome asked nervously. She knew what was coming.
"You're not pregnant. I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you and your husband do well." The nurse said. Kagome's suspicions were right.
"Thank you." Kagome, said, and hung up the phone gently. She seemed disappointed. Although she wanted this to happen, she had some part in her heart that she wanted to be pregnant. She wanted to have InuYasha's child. She wanted to make InuYasha completely forget about Kikyou, because he had a child. She wanted to feel happy, and have the pleasure of giving birth and making the Higurashi family go on. But, she couldn't do that. She turned around. She wasn't crying, although her mom went to hug her very tightly. (Her back was completely healed) Kagome looked possessed. Her husband? InuYasha and Kagome weren't married; but Kagome thought that maybe it would be better. It would be hard work, but, they could try. They would have to live in InuYasha's time, because of InuYasha and not having any records of him at all. Kagome finally spoke.
"No." She said sternly. She returned the hug, and she walked back to her room to get her stuff and she went back to the well, without saying anything or making any large movement. She was shocked, amazed, and appalled. She couldn't blink. Kagome stopped when she reached the other side of the well. "I want to have a child." She said to herself. She was hoping no one else had heard her. She was right. She got up the well, and she walked back to the village, where she was hoping that they'd still be there. Shippo was the first one she saw, of which he ran up to her and gave her a hug. She bent down, and returned the gentle hug. Miroku and Sango followed behind.
"Anything wrong?" Miroku asked.
"Where's InuYasha?" She asked, completely ignoring Miroku's question. She still looked possessed. Miroku looked at Sango, who had waved Her hand in front of Kagome's eye's. She still didn't blink. Sango told Miroku that she wasn't under control by any demon. So, Miroku pointed to InuYasha, who had just came out of the forest with large logs. He looked to see Kagome's sad disappointed face. He dropped the logs and ran to Kagome of which she hugged very intimately, and she just burst out crying.
"Kagome!" He said pulling away, he held on to her arms still, but, was very concerned. Miroku and Sango felt guilty that they pressured them into doing this...and then backed away.
"InuYasha!' She shouted. "I want a child!" She yelled even louder, causing to make everyone to look, and InuYasha was exasperated. He looked at her closely.
"Tell me something. Why did you go back to your time?" He asked, giving her suspicious looks. Kagome stopped crying. She wiped her tears; and she took a deep breath.
"I-" she paused, and took another deep breath. "I wanted to see if I was going to have a baby. It takes two weeks for the results to come in." She told him. He hugged her even harder.
"Kagome." He said, speechless, but, felt he needed to say something. "Why do you want a child so bad?" He asked.
"I want a little one, someone to have and to hold forever." She told him honestly.
"Uhh..."He said shocked.
A/N: Okay, I knew most of you were suspecting that, so...anyway, more is coming soon! Please R&R soon! THANX!
