A/N: Well, with that evil chapter, now we need something to lighten the mood…This'll do the trick! (Also, I have realized I screwed up on my timeline…eh heh…oops…)

Chapter 4: Another Surprise

"This feels good…" Kagome said, sliding into the warm water. The heat was a good relief against the cold winter air. "I haven't been to a hot spring in ages…Inuyasha probably thinks I'll hurt myself or something."

"You're pregnant Kagome-chan," Sango said, also sitting in the hot spring. "He's just worried."

"Overprotective, more like." Kagome said. "I mean, a day hasn't gone by without him offering all sorts of things. I know I should like it, but still…next thing you know, he's going to offer to feed me…" Kagome looked down at her slowly growing abdomen. Now at four months, her belly had started growing out, much to Inuyasha's dismay. She put a hand over her stomach. "This is all your fault, you know…"

"You should be glad he's a bit overprotective. I mean, Miroku's nice. But the only time he's really loving is when he's trying to get me to…well…let's just say the lecher hasn't left him yet."

Kagome laughed. "Sango-chan, you know as well as I do that it's probably going to happen."

Sango smiled. Thankfully, Kagome's mood swings had calmed down and everyone was able to talk to her again. Of course, that meant Miroku started up again with his "comments" but Sango had been able to keep him in-line.

Kagome sighed and looked at the sky. "You know, Sango-chan, sometimes it seems so unreal. Or like I'm in a dream that I might wake up. I mean…I never thought Inuyasha and I…would ever be starting a family."

"Sometimes the world is like that, I guess." Sango said. "But…if this is all a dream, that means I never would have met you, or Inuyasha, or Miroku of any of you. But…I know my village and father would still be alive…But I don't wish to go back in time. I know there still there, somewhere, watching over me."

Kagome looked at the steam rising from the water. Now she knew how Sango felt. After all, her home, her family, and her entire village had been wiped out by Naraku. And also, because of Naraku, Kagome could never go back to her time, and see her family. Because of this, they had come closer friends. "I just wish…my mother could have known about this. She would have been so happy."

"I think she does know, Kagome-chan." She said, getting a confused look from Kagome. "She doesn't know specifically, but she does know you are happy. And I am sure that's good enough for her."

Kagome smiled. "I guess. After all, before I left…she did tell Inuyasha to take good care of me. She probably knew all along, and never told me!"

"Mothers work in mysterious ways. Just like you will soon." She grinned.

Kagome stared. "I never really thought of it that way…I mean, I knew I was having a baby but…HOLY CRAP, I'M GOING TO BE A MOTHER!"

"Too much of a shock?" The youkai slayer asked.

"But…that means…I don't know the first thing about parenting! All I know is to change the diapers when they get smelly!"

"Calm down Kagome-chan, you'll figure it out. I heard a woman once say that the only way to learn to be a mother is to be one."

"Yeah…but…" Kagome looked back at her stomach. "I hope you're a girl."

Sango smiled. "Me too. Miroku keeps saying that when we have a kid, it has to be a boy. He's even been praying for it almost every night. If he gets his way, it looks like there's going to be another little Miroku running around…enough to make anyone scared."

Kagome laughed. "I'm with you Sango-chan. Inuyasha keeps insisting it's a boy, but the last thing I want is a mini Inuyasha. One is too many."

"Well, we'll just have to find out in five months." Sango said. "After all, you—" She stopped, cringed, and put a hand to her forehead.

"Sango-chan?" Kagome asked. "Are you all right?"

"Sudden headache." Sango said. "But—" she stopped again covering her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked, getting up.

"I need to see Kaede!" Sango said, bounding out of the hot spring and grabbing her clothes, throwing them on at top speed, while she ran off towards the village.

Since there was no one else around, Kagome decided to get out. As she put on her clothes, she was careful to make sure her yellow kimono didn't stretch over her stomach. She didn't exactly want to parade the fact that she was pregnant with Inuyasha's child. The village had known that she and the hanyou were together, and most had accepted it, but some did not approve. The ones who remembered when Inuyasha attacked the village 50 years ago and the ones that still believed Inuyasha was the one to kill Kikyou. Kagome noticed that some ignored her presence, yet she was okay with that. It didn't really matter to her what they thought. But she knew the fact that she was pregnant might complicate things…

Well, this is what you get Kagome…she thought. This is what you get for living in an era without condoms…

She wrapped a blanket she had brought around her as she walked through the light snow on the ground. Still…even though this baby will change a few things…I don't really mind, as long as it is Inuyasha…

Just as she thought that, the hanyou grabbed her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist. Kagome gave a jump before she realized who it was.

"Don't DO that!" she said, kissing his cheek.

"Just checking up on you." Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, the baby and I were fine thirty minutes ago when we went down to the hot spring. What makes you think anything could have changed?"

"Just making sure." He said. "You never know when something could happen."

"I think you're taking this protection thing a little too far." Kagome said. "There's no way you could have known that I was coming this way and to grab me from behind unless you were watching me in the hot spring."

Inuyasha gulped.

"I knew it." Kagome said. "You can't leave well enough alone, can't you?"

"Nope." He said, kissing her forehead. "Come on, we gotta get back. Miroku and Shippou invited themselves for dinner. And if that monk makes one freakin comment, I'm gonna—"

"I know." Kagome said. "You'll kill him."

As they laughed and headed back to the village, Kagome couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with Sango.

That night, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippou were eating dinner in Inuyasha and Kagome's hut. Kagome had to tell Miroku about what had happened in the hot spring, but he didn't look too concerned. "It was probably that eel we ate yesterday." He said.

Kagome was leaning against Inuyasha while Miroku and Shippou continued to eat to their hearts content. Kagome was happy that Inuyasha was a bit more loving in public now.

"So, Kagome-sama, when is the baby due?" Miroku asked.

A small blush fell over her cheeks. "Um…five months."

"I can't wait for it!" Shippou said. "I want someone to play with!"

"Yeah," Inuyasha said. "I can have a son I can take slaying youkai!" he laughed to himself.

"Inuyasha, our daughter isn't going out slaying youkai for a long time."

Inuyasha glared. "It's a boy."

"Girl. I'm the mother, I can tell these things. It's definitely a girl."

The hanyou didn't listen. "Boy."

"Girl."

"Boy!"

"Girl!"

"I'm telling you, it's a boy!"

"And I'm telling you, it's a girl!"

At that moment, Sango walked into the hut, looking slightly surprised. Kagome and Inuyasha stopped arguing. "Sango-chan!" Kagome said. "How are you feeling?"

"Better." Sango said, sitting down, not taking any rice.

"What was wrong, Sango?" Shippou asked.

"I just felt a little sick." She said. "But I am better now."

Miroku asked, "Will this prevent you from the activites I had planned for tonight?"

Sango turned bright red while Kagome faked a cough. Inuyasha muttered, "Lecher." while Shippou looked puzzled. It was so disturbing on how open Miroku was about these things.

"Yes." She hissed.

At that moment, everyone hammered her with questions. "Was it that eel?"

"Um—"

"How bad were you sick?"

"Well—"

"Is it contagious?"

"I don't really—"

"Is it a disease, or just some stomach sickness?"

"You guys—"

"Are you going to be better tomorrow?"

"You see—"

"Is there any way we can help you out?"

"No, not really—"

"Do you want some rice?"

"You don't understand—"

"Did Kaede give you some medicine?"

"I'm not sick, I'm just—"

"When did this start?"

"YOU GUYS—"

"Has this happened before?"

Sango couldn't take it anymore, she bellowed, "DAMNIT, YOU GUYS! I'M PREGNANT!"

Miroku's rice bowl fell to the ground, his eyes wide open. Everyone else had similar looks, but soon they shook themselves out of it.

"Wow, congratulations, Sango-chan!" Kagome said. "I guess you'll be getting a baby after all!"

"Y-yeah…" she said, although she didn't look completely overjoyed at it.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Keh! I knew it would happen sooner or later. You can't live with a lecher and not expect that."

"Yay! I get someone else to play with!" Shippou said.

Everyone looked at Miroku, who was still staring at her, his eyes wide open, his face still in shock.

Shippou poked him, getting no response. "I think you broke him." the kitsune said.

Sango, looking a bit angry, stood up and said, "I'll be at my hut." And she stormed off.

Shippou continued to try to wake Miroku from his trance. "Uh…Miroku? Miroku?"

"W-w-w-w-what?" he asked, talking like he hat trouble adjusting his mouth to speech.

"Aren't you going after Sango?"

"S-S-S-Sango?" His face sunk back to shock. "A-a-a-a-a-a-a b-bab…thing….a-a-a ch-child? I have a….." And he didn't seem to be able to talk anymore.

Kagome stared. "You'd think he'd be happy about it."

Inuyasha didn't look all that surprised. "I guess in all the years he asked women to bear his child, the fact that one actually is was too much for him."

Miroku got up shakily, and managed to walk to the door. "I-I-I-I have to go…" he said, walking out the door.

"I hope he can remember where his hut is…Sango REALLY broke him." Shippou said.

Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged looks that said quite plainly "At least I/you didn't act like that."

Kagome smiled. "Well…it looks like we're going to be having lots of little kids running around here soon."

That seemed to frighten Inuyasha more than Kagome had ever seen.

A/N: MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!Well, now they're BOTH pregnant. All those people who wanted Sango to get pregnant got their wish! Also, if your wondering why I'm doing this month by month is because the story is not about their pregnancy, but about the kids and what happens after their born.

Also, I have already chosen what sex the babies are going to be, but your welcome to hope for whatever you want cuz I'm not sayin!
