Chapter 5

Blinding light. She squeezed her eyes shut and covered face, "Ugh." Kagome struggled to sit up, "Feels like I got hit by a truck…"

"Close enough." Said a nurse bringing a lunch tray into the room, she had long brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. Her name tag read 'Sango', she gave Kagome a tiny smile, "You should be more careful. Running out into the street like that and in your condition are you crazy?"

Kagome shook her head her hand went to her stomach, her eyes widened in horror. Her stomach was empty! "MY BABY!" She grabbed the nurse's arm so hard the woman nearly cried out, "WHERE'S MY BABY?"

The nurse smiled, "Your baby is fine. You are a very lucky girl Miss Higurashi, would you like me to get her for you?"

Kagome nodded. I have a baby girl…. She couldn't understand why she had lashed out at the nurse like that. I can't keep a baby…I wanted to go back home after all this was over I…. Any thoughts of not keeping the child went out the window when the nurse brought the baby in the room.

"There, you both will be much happier this way."

Kagome waited until the nurse left them alone before she started crying. The baby looked up at her with huge eyes the deepest blue Kagome had ever seen she had three dark brown curls of hair on the top of her head. She kissed the baby's cheeks and held her close, "You don't look anything like me…" she sniffled, "I think that's why I love you so much." Kagome moved her shirt so the little girl could suckle. The tiny mouth rooted itself onto her breast, searching for the nipple where her milk had begun to flow of its own accord. She guided her baby's mouth to her nipple; the sensation of her child sucking was like nothing she'd ever felt. It hurt a little from being so full but at the same time it tickled she smiled, stroking the baby's head. Kagome looked up startled by a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" Inuyasha's voice…

"Y-yes," she said quietly.

He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand, snowflakes in his hair, his violet eyes met hers then he looked at the floor. "I came as soon as I heard…." He said keeping his eyes lowered.

"I'm sorry for being so rude the other night I- Inuyasha?"

"Yes?"

"Why won't you look at me?"

He cleared his throat, "Well…you're uh….your…"

She understood. Her breasts were exposed from feeding the baby. He's such a good guy he won't even look at me… Kagome smiled holding back a giggle, she didn't want him to think she was laughing at him. "Oh…sorry," she covered herself, "Okay."

He met her gaze, those beautiful eyes made her want to melt, "Kagome, I never should have left you. You could have been killed." He sighed heavily and put the bouquet next to her food tray on the side table, "Do you have anywhere to stay, honestly?"

She shook her head, "uh uh."

"Look, my grandmother has plenty of room in her home if you want to stay here for a while, until you get on your feet."

I don't have a choice… She nodded, "I would love that."

Two days later Kagome Higurashi and baby Kloie went home with Inuyasha, his grandmother's home was a duplex a block away from the fitness center where self defense and Japanese weaponry were taught by Inuyasha. He lived in the upper part of the duplex.

"Kagome this is my grandmother, Kaede," He said.

"Inuyasha, you're right this girl is beautiful," the old woman smiled at her grandson's embarrassment. "It's very nice to meet you, Kagome."

"It's nice to meet you too, Ma'am", Kagome smiled trying to shush Kloie who was getting a little fussy.

"Your room is down the hall, Dear, there's a crib in there for the little one. This afternoon if you'd like we'll go buy some toys for her." Kaede said walking off into the kitchen.

Kagome smiled at Inuyasha, "She doesn't even know me…"

"Kagome, she's not like that," He grabbed her bag and headed for the room that would be hers, he set it on the floor next to the bed. "I have to get to work. Kaede will give you anything you need."

"Okay," she looked around the room, it was small but it would work until she found a place of her own. "Inuyasha," she looked back at him.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for everything."

Kagome lay in bed that night, her baby clutched against her, she curled her legs up around little Kloie, making a 'nest' between her stomach and thighs, stroking her tiny back. I think I'm going to be okay…she smiled at that thought, I'm actually going to be okay…
