A/N: The first scene is a bit awkward. I wasn't intentionally going to add it, but since so many people wanted it, I just had to put it in. The fist scene is the morning after ch 13, and the rest of the story is a month or so later.

Chapter 14: Another Family Addition

Inuyasha was the first to wake that morning. Kagome was snuggled to his chest, her arm wrapped around his neck. Their faces were so close to each other's that their noses slightly touched. He smiled, and planted a small kiss on her nose.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she stared back at him. She loved everything about him in the mornings. The way his amber eyes would sparkle, the way his silver hair caught the rays of sun. And especially, how loving he was, because once they got in the middle of company, he went back to his old, "Keh-ing" self.

"What time is it?" she asked.

Inuyasha shrugged. "I don't know. Probably late morning."

"I could really care less." She confessed. "But I want to know when we have to get Kuro."

Inuyasha sighed. She just had to bring Kuro up. He wasn't exactly planning on discussing Kuro first thing. Sure, he liked the kid, but sometimes, he felt that Kuro was starting to split things between him and Kagome. "If Miroku and Sango wanted to get rid of him, they would have already brought him back."

Kagome sighed. "I just hope he's not too much trouble for them. I mean, we know how bad he screams."

"Keh. I bet they haven't gotten any sleep all night."

"Inuyasha, you just can't joke about that! I mean, they might have been up all night!"

"If they were, it's their own fault for volunteering to babysit. I mean, they saw how tired we were."

Kagome sat up. "But I still think it's unfair."

He also sat up. "Keh. It's their choice. They wanted to babysit, they'll have to suffer the consequences."

She sighed. She remembered that she was here, with Inuyasha…alone…They had time all to themselves. "Yeah…Maybe we shouldn't worry…"

"Besides," he said, in a seductive tone. "I think we have an hour or two until they bring back the kid." He pulled her closer. "And we don't want to waste any time, do we?"

She smiled, "Took the words right out of my mouth."

"That's not all I'm going to do with your mouth," he said, before crashing his lips down on hers. She pushed back, giving in to his passion, her heart beating at a fast pace. His hands gripped her shoulders, and she slowly felt herself being pushed back down on to the bed. His white hair fell all around them, and tickled her cheeks, but she didn't let go of the hold she had on them.

When he broke the kiss, he bent down to kiss her neck, receiving a moan from Kagome. "I-Inuyasha…" she gasped, feeling his hands wrap around her in a tight embrace. "Inuyasha…" she moaned again, as he recaptured her lips in a kiss.

"WHOA!" A male voice yelled out.

Inuyasha and Kagome turned towards the door, their eyes as wide as a deer caught in headlights, while the one who saw them had a similar look. But the only one they knew who would walk in on them this early was…Miroku.

He blinked a few times while fierce blushes came on Inuyasha and Kagome's faces, and then a lecherous grin spread across his face. It was worse then the time he had walked in on them before. This time, he had caught them in the act…or very close to it, as it appeared. "Ah," he said, "So this is what you mean when you want us to babysit."

Kagome dove under the covers to conceal herself while Inuyasha sat up, the blanket covering up half of him, glaring at the monk and making a fist. "MONK, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!" Although, his threat wasn't much. His hakama was on the other side of the hut, and how it had gotten there was an entirely other story. And there was nothing he could chuck at the lecherous monk he dearly wished to kill to get him to go away.

But Inuyasha didn't have to worry, because from outside they heard, "HOUSHI-SAMA! GET OUT OF THERE NOW, OR I SWEAR I WILL REMOVE WHAT MAKES YOU A MAN WITH MY BARE HANDS!" Miroku dashed from the hut immediately. Sango only called him "Houshi-sama" when she was really mad.

Kagome slowly rose from the blanket. "I think Sango's going to take care of him."

Inuyasha growled. "Can I still kill him?"

Kagome had a look of extreme anger in her eyes. "Sorry, Inuyasha, I get first dibs." And they went to grab their clothes so they could go and "talk" to the monk.

One month later, Inuyasha and Kagome were asleep in their hut. This time, however, they were clothed. They weren't keen on the lecherous monk walking in on them again. It had been bad enough that Miroku had walked in on them, but it didn't help that Kuro had been good for them and hadn't even cried. Inuyasha and Kagome still secretly hoped his child would cry as much as Kuro did.

That night, however, they were angrily awoken when Miroku burst into their hut.

"Miroku…" Inuyasha growled, raising his claws in warning. "If you were thinking of catching us again, then I'm gonna…"

"No…it's…" He looked scared, but not scared at Inuyasha's threat. His face had gone pale.

"Miroku-sama?" Kagome said. "What's wrong?"

He didn't say anything. He was in too much of a shock.

Kagome had to only guess what was going on. "Sango-chan? Is it Sango-chan?"

After a hesitation, he nodded.

"Is the baby coming?" she demanded.

He gulped, still very nervous.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER!" Kagome yelled. "Inuyasha, you stay with Miroku and watch Kuro, I'll go see Sango-chan!" And she ran out of the hut.

As Inuyasha went over to Kuro's basket, Miroku asked. "I-Inuyasha…you do think that…Sango will be all right…don't you?"

"Keh." Inuyasha said. "Are you kidding? You deserve to have a screaming baby and a wife who taunts you as Karma. Buddha or whoever wouldn't let you get off easy, would he?"

"But…what if…?"

Inuyasha picked up the still sleeping Kuro. "Let me tell you something from experience, monk. NEVER imagine the what ifs."

Kagome ran to Kaede's hut. Once she pulled back the bamboo curtain, she found Sango lying on the mat she had been on three months before. "Sango-chan!" Kagome said. "How are you?"

She cringed. In all her years as a youkai exterminator, she had felt pain, but nothing like this. "Kagome-chan…you weren't lying when you said it hurt."

Kagome blinked. "Was there a time when I said I was lying?"

As Sango's pains became worse, she cringed, and closed her eyes in pain. Kagome remembered how much pain she was in when Kuro was born. She resolved to never have another child, if she could help it.

"How long does it take?" Miroku asked, casting a glance back at Kaede's hut every two minutes.

"It'll take as long as it takes." Inuyasha said. "Calm down, willya?"

"I didn't see you very calm when Kagome-sama was pregnant!" Miroku said.

"That was different." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Calm down, Miroku." Shippou said, who was transforming into different shapes for Kuro.

"But why can't I at least be in there with her?" Miroku asked. "Why did Inuyasha get to be with Kagome-sama?"

Kaede stuck her head outside of her hut. "Because I knew if I kicked Inuyasha out of the hut, he would have ripped down a wall. And be patient, we are trying to birth a baby in here."

At the mention of "baby" Miroku's face went pale again. He sat on a log and started at the hut in a pondering manner, as if deciding whether or not to go bursting in.

"Stop worrying, monk. The old hag knows what she's doing." Inuyasha said.

Time passed slowly. They didn't know how long it had been since Sango had gone into labor. But suddenly, she let out a cry. Not a scream, but a cry of pain, and then a baby was heard.

Miroku gave a small gasp, and later, Kaede and Kagome left the hut. "It's a girl." Kaede said, as Miroku ran in.

Inuyasha greeted Kagome as they headed home for some more sleep. "The monk must be happy."

"Inuyasha," Kagome said, picking up Kuro.

"What?"

"We aren't having any more babies."

A/N: Okay, I'm going to be out of town for the most of the week, so I won't be able to update. However, I will get some of the homework done while I'm gone, so I'll have time to update.
