"Yeah, I'll be a mom... Thanks Sango...Thanks a lot!" She said going back up stairs
Chapter two:
Expecting and Delivering
The Next Morning
"So guys what's for breakfast?" Inuyasha asked, taking his seat at the table.
"Well the usual . . . Egg with Chorizo . . . " Sango answered. "YEAH!" Inuyasha yelled with fake joy. Kagome came in smiling broadly, taking her seat by Inuyasha.
"Ahhh Kagome, Not nauseous this morning I see." Kouga said noticing her cheerful demeanor.
"No . . . Well not yet anyway." She said realizing that it wouldn't be long before she got acquainted with the toilet again.
"So Kagome what do you want to eat . . . " Inuyasha stopped in recognizing what he had said.
"Uhh, An egg burrito, is that ok Sango?" She asked. "Sure Kagome."
Inuyasha watched as Kagome grubbed on the burrito . "What? You want some?" She asked taking another bite. He nodded gesturing that he dif. "Well too bad . Get your own Breakfast!" She said turning her back on him. "Well never thought my own wife would say that to me!" He said exiting the room, Kouga soon after followed him.
"Hey Kagome, Who far along did the doctor say you were?" Sango asked.
"Ummm, about three weeks." She responded not completely sure. "Funny, I would think that a Demon's baby would grow faster . . . "
"No, not actually . . . " Kouga said entering the room. "The time that a human is pregnant is about the same time as a demon is . . . Don't ask me why they just are!"
"Oh, so it'll be normal nine months?" Sango asked.
"Yeah . . . so if now it's October. Than the pup should be born around late May or early June?" Kouga pondered.
"So Nine months of carrying a baby . . . "
"Or Kagome it could be more than one . . . " Kouga corrected."You know that it's not often that Dogs have less than two pups?"
"So you mean I could be carrying twins or triplets or even quadruplets?" She said a little worried.
"Don't worry . . . if you have triplets or quads me, Sango and the others will be here to help you . . . " Kouga continued.
"And what, If I have twins you won't?" She added.
"Well, You won't really need help. Inuyasha and you could handle it. Right?" He asked tapping her shoulder. "Just never mind Kouga!" She mouthed off.
Five months later . . .
Ok for you people who don't know . . . When you about three months, THATS when you start showing and when your five THATS when people can really notice, Just for you peoples info. Ok lets continue.
"Hey Inuyasha are coming?" Kagome asked slipping her purse on her shoulder.
"Yeah sure . . . " He said putting his hand on her hip.
At the Hospital
"Well Kagome, ever thing is perfectly normal . . . " The doctor gestured for her to lay down. "Ok, I'm just going to put this gel on your belly and were going to see the baby." She said getting th gel out. "Just remain calm, this is going to be a little cool." He smoothed the gel on her belly. Inuyasha sitting in a chair next to the bed stared at the heart monitor . . . the boom sound echoing in his ears.
"Hey Kagome what's this?" He asked.
"That the baby's heart beat." She answered looking over to the other monitor. "Really . . . " Inuyasha said finally interested
"Well this is exciting, It seems your going to have Twins." The doctor said calmly.
"Twins . . . " Kagome smile broadly. "Yes . . . I'm going to have Twins!" She exclaimed, embracing Inuyasha tightly while jumping up and down.
Two months later
Kouga sat staring at the sky in the city park . . . the clouds blocked the sun. Kagome took a seat by him. Kouga looked towards her with a wide grin on his face.
"Hey Kag . . . " He felt her lean on his shoulder. "Kouga why are you look up at the sky?"
"Because it helps me think . . . "
"Whatch thinking about?" She asked, resting her hand on her belly.
"Oh nothing . . . just your twin pups . . . " Kouga turned to look at her, he rested his ear upon her belly. He flashed his head away quickly feeling something hit his ear.
"Kouga did you feel that?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah . . . One of you kids just kicked my ear." Kouga stated rubbing his ear. "Hey Kouga, why don't you try this instead . . . " She took his hand and placed it were she had felt one of them kick. Kouga immediately felt it kick against his hand again.
"I think that they like you!" She joked. "Come on Kag lets get home . . . You should be resting!" He said pulling her up gently. Kagome seemed concerned by a woman who was advancing them.
"Hey Kagome!" The woman waved to Kagome.
"Ummmm hey!" Kagome's attempts to hide behind Kouga was foiled.
"Kagome . . . you're pregnant! And who is this guy? Is he the father?"She looked to Kouga as she asked Kagome a series of questions.
"Ummmm. One: yes, two: Kouga, and three: no, he's not." Kagome answered.
"Ok . . . Is he that bad boy that you were always tell us about? " She asked remembering Kagome described punk-boyfriend of yesteryear.
"No Kouga is that guy that Inuyasha tried to beat up for telling me that he loved me!" She explained. Kouga blushed as Kagome spoke about him in such a manner.
"Oh so . . . is this Inuyasha is the father . . . " She asked in a chilling voice.
"Yeah . . . the badboy . . . " She said reluctant. "So when is the baby due?" The woman ask.
"Babies . . . I'm having twins . . . and their due in June . . . "
"What! You're have twins?" The woman said in amazement.
"Yeah . . . sorry but we gotta to go." Kouga stated walking away from the young woman.
Kouga looked all round for anything that might injure Kagome on their way home. Kouga now very suspicious of the passing cars followed one that had stopped by the corner they were on. He was fixated on it till a young four year old girl stepped out.
Inuyasha was sitting on the steps of the shine awaiting her, he arms crossed over his chest. She passed him by and went in the house. There Sango sat flipping though the channels. Inuyasha followed her and took a seat by her. Kagome glanced over to him, he was focused on the television set. With her hand she took his left and placed in on her stomach. He shifted his head spontaneously, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Did you feel that Inuyasha?" She asked.
"Yeah . . . wow, soon very soon . . . " Kagome cut in before he could finish his sentence. "What do you think we should name them?" She asked him. "Hmmm . . . I don't know . . . Trust me Kagome we'll know when they are here . . . " He kissed her upon the lips and made his way up stairs.
June 13
Kouga sat as usual down stairs in the den, switching though the channels, Kagome peacefully asleep on his shoulder. She moaned slightly, Kouga turned to her as she stirred. "Hey Kag, feeling all right?" He asked. "Just a little pain . . . It'll go away in a minute. Where's Inu?" She asked trying to keep herself awake. "Don't worry Kag . . . He went to the store to get you a surprise . . . " She had fallen back to sleep before he could fully explain. "Ok never mind . . . " He said in a soothing voice, running his fingers though her silky mane. Inuyasha unlocked the door slowly knowing that Kagome was most likely still asleep.
"Shhh . . . " Kouga commanded, not able to move from his position.
"Ok . . . I'm going to take this to the bedroom, don't let Kagome in there." He commanded back. "K..." He responded lowing the volume on the tv.
A few minutes later
Kouga checked Kagome again, she was looking a little pale. He moved to check if she had a fever but in his movement he awoke her. She looked up to him, her eyes lazed and near closing again. "Shhh . . . Kagome go back to . . . " He paused looking at her get up. Just as she was nearing her full standing position, when her water broke.
"Kagome?" Kouga said. "Kouga my water just broke . . . The twins are coming." Kagome said falling back into Kouga's open arms.
"KAGOME! STAY HERE! I'M GOING TO GET INUYASHA!" He said, laying her carefully down on the sofa and then ran upstairs. He busted though the door as Inuyasha and the others were setting up the bassinets. "What is it Kouga?" Inuyasha asked spiting the hammer out of his mouth. "Kagome! Her water broke . . . SHE'S IN LABOR!" He said panting; the sweat swarming down his face and neck. "IN LABOR? RIGHT NOW?" He said throwing the tools to the side and pushed Kouga out of the doorway.
Sango and Miroku soon followed him. Sango push Inuyasha and Miroku out of the door. "Hey why does Kouga get to stay?" Inuyasha asked tempestuously. "Because I need help and I know that Kouga won't lose his mind." She slammed the door on him. "Kouga keep Kagome calm . . . Be careful she might slam you one good . . . " She warned him behind closed doors.
Outside Inuyasha paced the yard. Every scream Inuyasha pounded the cement reveling the fleshy ground underneath. Miroku sat on the porch with his ear up against the door.
Kouga's necklace was in Kagome's tightly clenched fist, pulling him closer to her. The sweat flowed down her face like a stream. She must be exhausted . . . Kouga thought as he saw Kagome's rolling eyes. rolling to the back of their sockets every chance they got.
"Kagome stay awake!" He yelled in her ear. "Now push on three . . . one, two, three; PUSH!" Kagome heaved, more sweat coursing down her face with every push she gave.
"Kouga . . . I'm . . . I'm exhausted . . . " She panted out in between large inhales and exhales. She gave another push and a slight contraction made her blink in and out of consciousness, but for that moment she maintained composed.
"I know you are . . . but you gotta keep going . . . " He said wetting her brow with a moist cloth. For a moment she fainted. "Sango! She's out!" He yelled, unsure what to do.
"Do anything you can to wake her up!" Sango commanded. He looked at her. I hope Inuyasha doesn't get mad when he hears what I'm about to do! He took in a large breath, closed Kagome's nostrils and placed his lips on hers. He forced air back into her lungs. She awoke coughing and bewildered.
For that moment the screams from inside ceased. Inuyasha was baffled, if Kagome wasn't scream . . . one of the twins should of been by now. "What's wrong in there!" Inuyasha scowled.
Kouga exited the house, dazed and he seemed tired as well. "Kouga, what's wrong! What's going on in there!" Inuyasha stumbled with his words.
"Nothing, I just wanted some fresh air." He said as he purred water from a cup he had been holding, onto his face and walked back in.
Kouga closed his eyes once he entered; hoping the Kagome hadn't fainted again. Sango looked at him with relieved eyes. "Sango... I don't see anything to be relieved about..." He said looking over to Kagome. "Kouga go help Kagome... the twins will be here very soon." Kouga crouched by Kagome... Her eyes were bloodshot, her face was blanch and her intense sweating was nowhere near in ending. "Kagome..." He said tapping her face with the palm of his hand. She looked at him groggy and bemused. "Kouga... I'm..."
"Yes Kagome, I know but you can do it... Soon this will be all over and you'll be
holding your twins." Kouga tried to get her mind of the exhaustion. He placed his hand on her damp brow, he rubbed his head against hers. Kagome gave another push.
Suddenly the cries of a baby filled the room. Kouga closed his eyes relieved that it was half-over. "It's a girl..." Sango said placing the baby in a purplish coth. "Hey hear that Kagome, you have a new baby girl!" Kouga didn't move, fully aware that if he left Kagome might faint again. "Now Kagome give a big push so the other will come!" Kouga said drying her forehead. Another cry was heard in the room... "It's a boy!" Sango took the baby boy and wrapped in a red blanket. "Hear that Kagome, it's a boy..." He said softly, He wiped the hair out of her face. She gave him a smile and fell unconscious again. "Kagome!" Kouga cried. Sango got up from her crouch and hauled Kouga up. His claws torn the soft fabric of the sofa in his attempt to stay by Kagome. "Kouga why don't you go outside for a bit." Kouga growled as Sango threw him out, he swung his fist at the closed door. In his great desperation he started to slam his head against the door and his clenched fist at the same time. When he finally had calmed, he walked into the courtyard. He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip in a feeble attempt to find comfort. His clenching fangs finally broke though his lip, causing what little blood from his erupted lower lip to run from his chin and onto his white T-shirt.
He held back the tears avoiding Inuyasha's watchful eye. "Kouga what's wrong? And why is there blood all over your T-shirt!" Inuyasha asked, shaking Kouga by the shoulders. "Is it the twins... are they alright!" He shook him harder. "Answer me!" Inuyasha yelled falling upon his knees. Kouga opened his eyes, they were inflamed from where the tears wanted to break through.
"Inuyasha... before I... I left... Kagome... blacked-out." Kouga said slowly and faltering.
"WELL! IS SHE OK?" Inuyasha yelled, he himself trying to hold back the waterworks.
"I... I don't know..." He slowed, the tears now steadily flowing down his cheeks. Sango opened the door slowly. Kouga and the others turned to her. Her eyes were also closed when she exited the house.
There she held the two wailing twins in her arms. Her head was raised, looking to The Heavens for the answer. Inuyasha looked at the baby girl in Sango's arms. "She's beautiful... She looks kinda like Kagome..." Inuyasha said taking her in his embrace. The baby's dog like ears pressed down on her head, her white mane had black charcoal tips on what little bangs she had. "Oh look she has your ears Inuyasha." Kouga pointed out. Inuyasha eager to look at the other pass the girl to Kouga. Inuyasha looked at the other, the baby boy. He on the other hand had pointy demon ears, and Kagome's charcoal black hair, he like his sister hand white tips on his bangs.
And both had Golden Honey Eyes.
"Hmmm, Black hair..." Miroku inspected the baby boy. Kouga began to rock the young girl in his arms, almost asleep himself before the baby had falling asleep.
"KAGOME! What happened to Kagome!" He asked trying to push her out of his way. Miroku held the young boy and Inuyasha frantically searched for a way around Sango. "Inuyasha, She's alright... she just passed out from exhaustion." Sango told him calmingly is that a word?. "Can I see her?" He asked calming down. "Yes but she might still be blacked out." Sango allowed him in.
He saw Kagome crashed out on the sofa now. "Kagome..." He said quietly. "Huh?" She said in the groggiest voice Inuyasha had ever heard her speak in. "Where's my babies!" She asked almost slipping off the couch. "Shhh... There outside with the others." He answered, pushing the wet hair out of her face. "So..."
"So what?" Inuyasha asked. "So can you bring them in here?" She asked pulling herself up by his shirt sleeve. "Sure. SANGO!" He hollered outside. "BRING THE TWINS IN HERE." She emerged though the door holding the twins again, Kouga and the others soon followed. She placed them in Inuyasha strong arms. Kagome peered at them. "Wow, their beautiful." She said as Inuyasha shifted one into her arms. "This one is the boy. What should we name him?" Inuyasha recognized his charcoal hair. "Hmmm, how about Kurama..." She proposed. "Yes, I think that is a fine name!" Inuyasha praised the name Kagome had chosen. "And this one?" He said showing her the bundle in his arms. "Ummm Inuyasha I named the last one... why don't you take this one!" She acted confiedent. "Ok Kagome, how about Kiera..." "Yes, That's a brilliant name!" She conferred his name. "Now I'm going to put them in their bassinets."
" But I though that you weren't going to buy them till later?" She questioned his state of mind. " Well you know that surprise that Kouga told you about... It was bassinets." He smiled. "Oh thank you! I guess we needed them sooner than I thought we would." She stood.
"Hey Kagome I'm glad to see that you doing well!" Kouga said pulling her up besides him. "Well yeah, but if it wasn't for you... I could of never done it." He took her in his arms. "Well, Kagome I never give up on some one I once loved." He smiled and then smiled while bemused in thought. "Wait, what am I saying. ONCE, I mean someone I love!" He finished his statement.
Later that night
"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered. "What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome stopped her rocking motion. "Go on to sleep, I stay up with them." He took the baby from her arms.
"Inuyasha you've been helping me all night, you can't take care of them by yourself." She pointed out. "Don't worry Kag, I'll get Kouga to help me..."
"Please don't bother him... He barely fell asleep... Yesterday he spent the night by me making sure I hadn't gone into labor." Kagome pleaded.
"Ahh, you care... But don't worry, I'll let Sango take my shift tomorrow." Kouga snickered.
"Kouga, you need your sleep..." Kagome said concerned. "No not really. When you were asleep on my shoulder, I caught about an hour." He said taking Kiera and soothingly rocking her. "Ok, I can never argue with you..." She smiled. She kissed Inuyasha upon the lips and Kouga on cheek. He gave her a slight smirk. "Hey Kagome, wait up..." He stopped her before she could go. "I got you this a while back." He said pulling a folded card out of his pocket while placing Kiera in her basinet. She took it in hand, curious of what it was. She opened it slowly and read the words that were written on the page.

She lifted her head, eyes teary and a grin the size of Texas on her face. Kouga grinned back fakely. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and embraced him tightly. Kouga raised his left eyebrow and just allowed her to squeeze him like a kouga plush toy. Kurama's cries filled her ears, just as she was going to grab him, Kouga pushed her back out and took Kurama in his arms.
It wouldn't be long before Kiera and Kurama, daughter and son of the proclaimed Shikon Jewel shard hunters would soon joined by their own group of friends...
