Chapter 13: Home

MEGAN'S POV

I sat there so deep in thought that I didn't realize Kayla was waving her hand in my face.

"Earth to Megan, come back to us Megan!" she said.

"Did you talk to him or get his name?" I asked quickly.

She shook her head, "He kept looking back at me though, it was kind of creepy. He was wearing a business suit but he had this weird tattoo on his head that was a -"

"Crescent moon," I finished for her.

Everyone looked at me, then at Kayla.

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

Tears began to fill my eyes and I hugged Cade.

It was Sesshomaru…

He had been looking for me all this time.

'I will wait for you,' he had said.

And he did.

"Did he get off here?" I asked, ignoring her last question.

She nodded, "Yeah, why? Do you know him or something?"

I nodded, "It's him…"

Kayla waved her hand, signaling for me to continue, "It's who? Megan we are not mind readers here!"

"It's Sesshomaru," I blurted out.

Cade stopped playing and looked up at me with big eyes, almost as if he knew who I was talking about.

"Sesshomaru?" Mom said, "you mean the man you said was Cade's father?"

I nodded.

Standing up, I carried Cade quickly up the stairs while everyone in the dining room was calling for me to come back.

Sesshomaru…he's here!

But how?

Demons are immortal…

Does that mean that he waited five hundred years for me?

Tears began to fall from my eyes and Cade whimpered.

"Don't worry Cade, mommy's ok. She's crying happy tears ok?" I kissed him.

He smiled again.

It was spring and so it was rather warm, but I grabbed a sweater for me and then one for Cade just in case. Packing a few diapers into a bag and some toys for Cade to play with, I picked him up and went back down the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Bob asked as I raced into the garage.

"For a quick drive, I'll be back in an hour or two," I said, "tell mom and Kayla for me!"

Before he could answer I put Cade in his car seat and then started the car.

Just as I was backing out of the driveway, my mom and Kayla came rushing out of the house, calling out for me to stop.

There was no way I was gonna stop now…

I had to find him…

It was already nine and the sun was beginning to set.

When I arrived at the airport it was practically empty except for a few people waiting to board their flights.

Suddenly my cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I said.

"Megan, where the hell are you?" Kayla's voice yelled over the other line.

Cade whimpered in his sleep. I hugged him closer to me.

"I am looking for him."

"Don't be stupid Megan, this guy id not from five hundred years ago!"

"Look," I said softly into the phone so I wouldn't wake up Cade, "I know that you don't believe me. But I was never lying to you. I went back in time ok? I was there! And so was he, and now, somehow, he is in this time and I have to find him!"

I with that I hung up the phone and turned it off.

For the next hour I must have walked around that dumb ass airport like ten times! But there was no sign of Sesshomaru anywhere.

Cade woke up in my arms and tugged on my hair that was down.

I looked down at my baby boy and smiled.

"Ok Cade, I guess we should go home now," I said, giving up.

Putting Cade back in his car seat we made our way slowly back to the house. I was not looking forward to having to face my family. They were sure to put me in the loony house now…

When I walked in the door everyone was still waiting up for me.

My mom came and hugged me and then smacked me across the face.

"How dare you scare us like that! We thought you had been kidnapped again!" she cried.

I raised my hand to where my cheek was now burning.

Ow…

"I was never kidnapped in the first place, you know that," I said softly and walked past her.

"Where are you going young lady?" Bob asked, "You owe us an explanation."

"I'm going to put the baby to bed," I said.

Kayla came and took Cade from me, "I'll do it."

She took him before I could protest.

So I went and sat on a chair across from my parents.

"Why did you run off, Kayla told us that you went to go find Cade's father from the 'past'," Bob said.

I nodded, but didn't say anything.

My mom sighed, "Honey, I've called the doctor and he has agreed to examine you."

I looked up at her, startled.

"So I'm crazy now?" I yelled.

"No, no honey. We just…well… ever since you came back you have been telling us stories that are just… unbelievable," mom sighed.

"They are true!" I exclaimed as Kayla came back down stairs.

Why wouldn't they believe me?

What am I saying? Why WOULD they believe me?

To them I probably did sound crazy.

The I had an idea.

"The neighbor is an archeologist right?" I asked.

"Yes why?" Bob asked.

Before they could say anything I ran up to my room and grabbed something from a box that I had hidden at the back of my closet.

When I came back downstairs I handed my mom the object.

"It's the clothes you were found in, what does this have to do about anything?" Kayla asked.

"It's called a kimono," I said, "Call the neighbor, she will tell you how old it is."

"Honey it's late," mom said.

I grabbed the phone I dialed the number anyway, "I saw the lights on when I came in."

"Hello?" a woman's voice said on the other line.

"Hi Mrs. Lang I was wondering if you could come over for like two minutes and tell how old this article of clothing is," I said.

There was a long pause, "Megan dear, it's late…"

"Please Mrs. Lang, it's really important that you come now!" I said.

She sighed, "Oh all right."

A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Mrs. Lang walked in. she was carrying a kit of some kind.

"You know me to well Megan," she smiled when I handed her the kimono, "I just can't resist and chance at finding an artifact."

She put on gloves before taking the kimono.

"It looks new," she sighed.

"Look closer," I said.

She put on a pair of glasses and examined it closely. Her face lit up.

"My goodness! This is genuine! hand stitched, dyed by it looks like some kind of flower. Amazing design. It must have taken weeks to make! Where did you get it?" she asked.

"A friend gave it to me," I said simply.

She opened her kit and did a few little tests.

"Oh my goodness, this is absolutely amazing!" she exclaimed.

"How old is it?" Kayla asked.

She paused for a bit, "By the look of it…at least five hundred years old! But how have you kept it in such condition? It's like you plucked it from the era itself!"

I looked at my family's faces smugly.

"Told you," I said, "Thank you so much for coming Mrs. Lang."

She nodded dumbly and then left, still in shock.

When she was gone I turned back to everyone.

"Do you believe me now?" I asked.

"Well…I …um, we…honey," my mom stuttered.

I sighed, they still didn't believe me.

"I'm going to bed," I grumbled and then left the room.

Going into Cade's room I leaned over his sleeping form and kissed him.

"Don't worry baby, you'll meet your daddy someday…"

Then I went back to my room and went to sleep.

…………..ONE MONTH LATER………

"Thank you Miss. Evan's, you and your baby will love it here," the real estate agent said.

I smiled as he handed me the papers that proved the apartment was mine.

After Cades birthday I decide that it was time for us to try living on our own.

My parents were kind enough to buy me most of the necessities like an oven, microwave, washing machine, fridge and a TV. They offered to get me a dish washer and a dryer for clothes, but I figured that I could do those things on my own.

I had left Cade with my mom while I move our stuff into the small apartment.

I had been working as a secretary for a talent agent before I had Cade so I had a small amount of funds to start off with.

The apartment was small, but cozy. It had a bathroom, kitchen, living room, and two small bedrooms. It was perfect for me and Cade.

I painted his room a dark blue and stuck glow in the dark moons and stars all over the room. I painted the living room a deep red, and my room a pale purple.

Bob had helped me a lot and he gave me a large amount of money to get started. I had protested but he had insisted.

The first night I had brought Cade to his new home, he had smiled and waddled into his room.

His walking had improved a lot in the last month, and my mom had been shocked how fast he had learned.

That night, I put Cade to bed with a big smile on my face.

This was so perfect…I had my baby with me, and I had my own place.

The only thing missing was Sesshomaru…

When Cade was asleep in turned on the baby monitor and stuck it in my back pocket.

When I looked out the small window in the living room I noticed a small park nestled among the apartments.

Locking the door, I walked out into the warm night air. The park was rather beautiful. There was low hanging trees all around and a small playground with sand boxes where Cade could play. There was a few park benches and I sat down on one of them.

I took my hair out of it's pony tail and it cascaded down my back. I could smell my conditioner mixing with the scent of the flowers around me.

I shivered as a cool fog rolled in quickly and I stood to go back inside.

As I stood I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

My heart stopped and I started to shake, and it wasn't from the cold.

Walking through the fog toward me was a tall man. His silver hair reached past his lower back and a small smile could be seen on his perfect lips.

Golden eyes bore into my now tearing green ones…

"Sesshomaru," I whispered.
