Chapter Six: "I'm Having TWINS!"
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha at all!
"Kagome, don't you want to see a doctor? It's almost time for the baby to come. I know you said that you wanted to have the baby in the feudal era, but I want you to see a doctor in our time with modern medicine. So we'll know if the baby is healthy or not." Kagome's mother looked at her daughter. She looked happy and healthy, but she wanted to make sure of that.
"No mom! I don't need to see a doctor. Kaede guaranteed that the baby was fine. And I trust her judgment."
"I'm not saying that you shouldn't trust her, but I just want a second opinion. Anyway you might find out the sex of your baby. You'd like to know wouldn't you?"
Kagome relented. "Okay, okay. I do want to find out the sex of my baby; but Inuyasha and I agreed not to know." Before Kagome's mother could interrupt, she said, "But I will go to the doctor's office, just to have a second opinion on my baby's health. Okay mother?"
"I guess that's better than nothing." She smiled. "I'll make an appointment."
Ten minutes later: Back in the Feudal Era
"I have an appointment tomorrow in my time, okay Inuyasha? I'll try to be back soon." Kagome kissed him on the cheek.
"Don't come back too early. Take as much time as you need. But be sure to come back and tell me what happens."
"Of course! Did you think I was just going to stay there in my time and never come back? You know me better than that!"
"I know! I was just making sure. Anyway, if you didn't come back I'd go and get you ." Inuyasha looked at her. "What do you want to do now? You have to go home soon, the sun's setting."
Shippo ran up to them. "Are you leaving Kagome?" When she nodded he said, "Don't forget to come back. Inuyasha will miss you too much."
"Shut up Shippo!" Inuyasha punched him on top of his head.
"Inuyasha you're really gonna have to stop hurting children. I won't be able to let you near our child!"
What!" He looked at her face. She was laughing. "Hey! That's not funny!" He picked her up and swung her around.
"Oh Inuyasha! Put me down!" Kagome punched his shoulder.
"Oh look at the happy couple. Isn't that sweet Sango?"
Everyone looked at Miroku and Sango in surprise; they hadn't noticed when they came back. They had went to Sango's village a while back.
"Yep! We have to tell them our good news now." Sango smiled at Miroku. She was hanging onto his arm.
"But we don't want to spoil their celebration."
"But they'll probably have more to celebrate if we tell them. How 'bout you say it?"
"No Sango, we agreed to tell them together. So you go first."
"No you go first."
"No you."
"Will one of you just say it! You are getting on my nerves," Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Shippo agreed.
Sango and Miroku looked at each other "We're having a baby!" They both yelled at the same time.
"WHAT!" Shippo, Kagome, and Inuyasha looked at them as if they had just grown two heads.
"How in the world did that happen?" Inuyasha demanded.
"The same way you and Kagome did it." Miroku smiled mischievously.
"That's not the way I meant it and you know it!"
"Inuyasha calm down. They don't need to tell you anything; it's their business." Kagome looked at Sango and mouthed out, "Give me the details later." Sango smiled and nodded. Kagome then looked at her watch and said, "I got to go guys! See you tomorrow." She looked at Miroku and Sango. "Congratulations you two! Hope you enjoy the experience of morning sickness and weird cravings as much as Inuyasha and I." She turned to Inuyasha and Shippo. "Bye you two! I'll come back as soon as possible." She kissed Inuyasha and Shippo and walked to the well.
"Well, this is something I didn't think I would be seeing." Kagome's doctor looked perplexed.
"What's wrong Dr.Kunasaki?"
"Your baby—no, excuse me—your babies, seem to have dog ears on top of their heads."
Kagome blushed and then realized what the doctor said. "What do you mean BABIES!"
"I mean Miss Higurashi that you're having twins and they have DOG ears!"
"I heard about the ears. But are you positive about the twins?" Kagome was thrilled. Inuyasha would be thrilled as well, Kagome knew.
"Yes, I am." She looked around. "By the way, where is the father of your child? I'm sure he'll be wondering where these ears came from"
Kagome was about to answer when she heard, "Right here doctor." Kagome looked towards the door and that's where she saw Inuyasha propped up against it. He had on blue jeans, a black shirt that fit him perfectly, tennis shoes, and a baseball cap over his ears. His long, silver hair was hanging down his back.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha! I thought you weren't coming." Kagome asked him while she looked at his clothes.
"Well, I thought about it and decided that I would come anyway. Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, but you should've told me. How did you know which room I was in?"
"Your mom told me." Inuyasha walked to Kagome's side. "She said you would be happy to see me as well. Are you?"
"Of course I am. Do you want to know a secret?" Kagome glanced at him slyly.
"It depends on if it's good or bad."
"Oh, it's very good."
"Ok, then I'd be glad to hear it."
Kagome looked at him. "We're having twins! Isn't that great?"
Inuyasha looked stunned. They were having twins, he thought, I can't believe it.
"You gonna say something?"
"How about I leave you two alone for a little while?" Dr.Kunasaki asked, then without hearing the answer, left.
"This is wonderful." Inuyasha squatted down next to Kagome and started rubbing her stomach. "We're having twins." Then he rubbed his face. "Twice the demonic trouble." He looked at her. "I'm too young for this!"
"Oh yeah, about that. Don't you think we should get married?" At the look on his face she hurriedly said, "I mean it's not right not being married when we have children. They won't be accepted and I know you won't like that."
Inuyasha looked at her weirdly. There was a long silence.
"Inuyasha, would you please stop looking at me like that! It's creeping me out!"
Inuyasha swept Kagome into his arms. He gave her a kiss right smack on the lips. "I thought I was supposed to propose to you! Of course I think we should get married; how about next week in my time and the week after that in your time?"
"Sure. Come on, let's hurry up and get home!"
Kagome dragged Inuyasha all the way home. When they got there, they hurriedly looked for Kagome's mom.
Kagome bust into the dining room where her mother was making dinner. "Mom! We have a wedding to plan!"
