Kagome held onto Inuyasha's hand as they walked into the emergency room. Inuyasha sniffed for his son, he immediately started leading Kagome through the winding halls until they got to an operating room, where Kagome's mother had already been sitting in a chair.

Kagome ran up to the doctor. "What's wrong with him do you know?!?!" Her voice was still quite shaky. The doctor motioned for her to sit down. Kagome shook her head. Inuyasha stood behind her with his hands on her hips and his head over her shoulder. The doctor sighed then began to break the news

He opened his mouth and began to speak. "All of your son's organs are rejecting his body. This happens when someone gets a transfusion of the wrong blood type. Can you vouch for that? Has he gotten any transfusions because of some disorder?"

Kagome shook her head and then suddenly she gasped as the reason struck her. The blood. The demon blood in Tuni. The amulet may have drained him of his powers, but the anatomy was still there! His demon organs were rejecting the human blood. Kagome put her hand in front of her mouth in awe as she turned around to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha... his demon body. The human blood is being rejected by the demon organs... The amulet took his powers away, but it only changed his blood! We need to give his powers back Inuyasha! Or else my baby is going to die!"

Inuyasha pulled the amulet off of his neck. He had kept it there for safe keeping. Kagome took the amulet and grabbed her coughing son the doctor went to grab the baby back protesting it. But Inuyasha leapt in front of Kagome and growled at the doctor. The doctor peacefully backed off with a terrified look on his face. Kagome put the amulet around Tuni's head. She taped the amulet, and the bright red glow of the gem faded as Tuni's demon powers returned to him, along with his baby fangs, claws and ears.

Tuni stopped crying and coughing, but he still whimpered a little because the whole thing was a painful ordeal. Inuyasha grabbed his top that he had previously wrapped around Tuni, but was now hanging on the back of a chair. Inuyasha wrapped his baby back up in it so he would be physically protected by the fire rat fur material.

Inuyasha put his free arm around Kagome, and they both quickly left the hospital. Inuyasha let Kagome got on his back and he leapt and ran using his demonic speed. Several minutes later they were back at the house. Inuyasha ran over to the sacred tree and sat at the bench that sat at the trunk of the enormous tree. Inuyasha held onto his demon son closely. Kagome sat next to Inuyasha.

Tuni brushed his little hands against his daddy's shirt. His little claws weren't even sharp yet, just little pointy nails. His fangs had begun growing in, but as of now, they only looked like regular teeth. He was so helpless, defenseless. He needs to be protected... Inuyasha had to fill that place.

Kagome reached over to hold her son. Inuyasha turned his body away from her, still holding on to Tuni.

"Inu—yasha..." Her voice trailed off. She decided not to make it a fight. She just sat there for a moment thinking to herself.

A breeze swept through blowing the trees shaky leaves. It was fall. Kagome put her arm around Inuyasha and turned him back towards her. She looked at him lovingly, then gently laid her head on his lap. Inuyasha put his hand on her back lovingly with the baby in his other arm. Tuni made a big yawn that trailed off into a whimper. Inuyasha smiled at his cute little son.

Inuyasha stood up and put Kagome's hand on his back signaling for her to hold onto him. Inuyasha leapt up to Kagome's window, and opened it with his free hand, keeping balance on the sill. Inuyasha then stepped in and put his back to Kagome's bed, letting her get off. Inuyasha then curled up like a dog on the end of the bed, with little Tuni laying down in the warm crescent of Inuyasha's body.

Kagome leaned over to them and curled her body around Inuyasha's holding onto his midriff. She could feel his heart beating, and his lungs inhaling and exhaling. This was the life she wanted. To be with Inuyasha. To have him protect her, and to be able to protect him. Not to mention bearing his children.

Kagome's eyes grew droopy just as she could hear her mother's car pulling into the drive.

Sorry about the short short chapter. Keep in mind its only because I decided to split hospital stay up in two parts because I hadn't posted a new chapter in so long. So this is the other half to that chapter. Also sorry about the misprint for the next chapter. The NEXT chapter will be The Hard Life. See the chapter before hospital stay for description.
