A/N: Ok, here's chapter four. I hope you guys are happy that I update everyday because it is hard to do. Anyway, apparently people aren't familiar with the episode I talked about before. Well if you want to know about that episode or any others just e-mail me. (I've seen them all)

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I don't own InuYasha. Blah, blah, same old, same old.

"You heard what I said, Kagome," InuYasha alleged. "I meant it, if that's what you're wonderin'."

"I know, it's just...I never thought I would hear you say that." She flashed a grin. "I feel the same way."

(A few months later. A/N: don't worry I'm not going to rush the story)

Kagome awoke with a feeling of discomfort lingering on her body. It had been five months since she found out she was pregnant. During that course of time she had been completely miserable. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo still hadn't come back. She'd decided to stay in the feudal era during her pregnancy to avoid ridicule, and hadn't had a decent sleep in ages. All she wanted to do was be unaided for a few minutes. But, would InuYasha let her? No! He had to be with her twenty-four-seven and it was getting tremendously irritating.

"Kagome, get up now. You need to eat something," she heard InuYasha say beside her, though she could care less.

"I'll make my own schedule, thanks," Kagome grumbled.

"Just get up and eat something, now," he sneered. "You're eating for two, remember?"

"How could I not? Look at me! I'm a balloon, and I'm only going to get bigger! Just lay off, ok?"

He scoffed. "Feh! Whatever! Do what you want!" He left Kaede's hut, where they had been staying for the past few months.

Kagome rolled over. 'This is weird,' she thought. 'Normally he wouldn't let that go so easily. I wonder what's wrong with him.' She glanced at the door as Kaede entered the hut.

"Ye need to eat, child," she said.

Kagome groaned. "Not you too! I'll do what I want, when I want to do it." Why was everyone on her case this morning?

"I have heard news on your friends," Kaede stated.

Kagome sat up. "Are they close by?" she asked hopefully.

"Indeed," Kaede said. "If I'm not mistaken they should be here some time today.

A smile played off Kagome's lips. Finally, there would be something to do around here.

(00000000000000000)

InuYasha walked soundlessly through the village. He had seen Kikyo's soul stealers last night, though he hadn't gone after her. No matter how much he might have wanted to, he knew that it was wrong.

InuYasha glanced up quickly, hearing the sound of familiar voices ahead of him. Miroku! Sango! Shippo! They were back.

"Look guys, it's InuYasha!" Shippo shouted. The young fox demon was bounding toward the village, looking rather excited.

A monk followed after him. "Long time, no see," Miroku greeted.

"Hello InuYasha," the demon slayer, Sango, said.

He smiled. "Hey guys, you're never gonna believe what happened while you were gone."

"Please, enlighten us InuYasha," Miroku said heartily, perverted thoughts immediately entering his head.

"It has something to do with Kagome." InuYasha was practically beaming.

The three stared at him with conspicuous anticipation.

"She's pregnant."

A/N: I'm so sorry for the short chapter, but my hot tub just got fixed and I'm not going to miss the chance to get in it. Stop complaining about the length, it's gettin' on my nerves! (LOL, just kidding) I promise there will be a longer chapter tomorrow because the plot is about to ensue. REVIEW PLEASE
