(A/N: Well, you guys are in for a real shocking chapter. May not be the best ever written, but it shocked me, and I wrote it! Hope you guys enjoy! Love you!)
"Don't worry, Kagome." a soft voice echoed inside her head. "The babies are on their way. Don't worry. You're doing fine."
Kagome let out a cry of pain that rang in everyone's ears for a while. Kagome panted for breath, at the same time yelling, screaming, trying to push the pain inside her away, but it wouldn't disappear.
"AAAAAHHH!" She let out a cry before laying her back down on the floor.
"No, don't give up on me now, Kagome. We need to--", Kaede gasped before continuing, in her hands, there was a round surface, that began to grow. "That's it Kagome! Keep on pushing, I see the head!"
Kagome raised her back, clasping Inuyasha's hand. He was staying by her side, not letting go. He loved her… so did she.
Kagome pushed harder, feeling her insides go in a roller coaster, as if something was coming out, but her fear of it not leaving. She feared a still birth.
She shook her head off quickly. No, not now, not again.
Kagome gave one last push before hearing the baby's cry ringing inside her. She smiled, knowing one of the babies were safe.
My baby…my baby is safe… Kagome thought quietly before laying back down, feeling both exhaustion and pain.
"It's a girl!" Kaede exclaimed as she held the baby inside a warm blanket, washing away the blood. Kaede carefully cut the cord with a fresh small blade, and wrapped the baby in another blanket.
Kaede turned to Inuyasha and gave him a warm smile.
"Your daughter…" she whispered to him.
Inuyasha looked at his new born daughter. She was beautiful. Her face was red from birth and her eyes were closed, but he sensed the beauty within her. He held out his arms, while Kaede turned the baby to him.
As he felt the baby in his arms, a warmness filled his heart, which created a new spot for the new-born. He bent down and kissed her head gently, silent tears falling down his cheek.
Sango and Miroku held each other as they saw the special moment. Shippo, in the corner, watched in amazement how Inuyasha's face suddenly changed to love.
Kagome noticed this as well. Inuyasha turned to Kagome and leaned the baby towards Kagome. She rose a little from her back to see the baby's face. Kagome let out a small sob, and smiled brightly, confirming that was her child. Confirming that was Inuyasha's child…confirming that was her happiness.
Kagome slowly laid back onto the futon, exhaustion washing over her entirely. Her tears began to feel cold, as they dripped down onto her robes. She shivered, coldness spreading around the room.
"I'm…I'm tired." she muttered, hoping Kaede heard her comment. She closed her eyes, wishing she was asleep.
"No. Don't fall asleep, Kagome, we're not done yet. Remember, you have another baby inside of you." Kaede reminded her, as she once again took her spot in front of Kagome's lying body.
"Now…raise your back, Kagome."
Kagome obeyed as she slowly and steadily raised her back from the futon.
"Now…push."
Kagome let out another cry as pain shot once more through her body. She gripped onto her sheets, forgetting that Inuyasha was still holding the her baby daughter.
Suddenly, the pain stopped. Her grip onto the sheets began to loosen, her vision began to blur, as Kaede's voice began to seem so far away.
"Kagome… are… you…all…right…?" She heard Kaede's voice ask her.
It sounded like a whisper. She felt it so far away.
Kagome closed her eyes and laid back onto the futon, darkness surrounding her.
Inuyasha POV
"She's asleep!" Inuyasha cried out at Kaede as he held his new born. "Wake her up!"
Kaede glanced down at Kagome's panting body and sighed.
"What are you wai--"
"If we wake up now, it may send a bad message to her system." Kaede said sternly before falling back into though.
'What…what do you mean, 'send a bad message'? Wont the baby die!" Inuyasha asked impatiently.
"It may cause a still birth. We can only do one thing…" Kaede looked down at Kagome and sighed. "We will need to cut her abdomen open wide enough for the baby to come out."
Inuyasha's mouth dropped as he registered her words.
"C-c-cut her open!" He exclaimed wildly as he shot his eyes at Kaede. "Wont that kill her?"
Kaede ignored his question and continued to gaze at Kagome.
"Whatever happens…" she glanced quickly at Inuyasha and the new baby daughter before returning back to Kagome, "…will be for the best for her and the baby."
