In the last chapter…
She blushed then faced him. "Yes, and I have been wanting to tell you for a long time. Inuyasha, I'm…I'm pregnant."
"Kagome…." He didn't seem that surprised, but inside he was excited. So much emotion filled him that he kissed her. He stared at her stomach and then moved down there and kissed it. She giggled a bit, it was such a small gesture but it meant a lot.
They never felt so happy in their lives. Finally they were united and were going to start a family, everything was happening just the way they wanted it, it was too good to be true but it was.

Chapter 8 – Secrets Be Told, Secrets Behold!
The next day arrived swiftly; Inuyasha was already up and moving about. His excitement of last night's news carried on into the morning, so he couldn't help being energetic. When Kagome finally came out of the bedroom, he walked over to her and gave her a long kiss on the lips.
"Mmm…what was that for Inuyasha?" Kagome said in a curious voice.
"For being the woman of my dreams!" He took her in his arms and held her there for a moment. "We've overcome so much together, now look at where we are. There's no one else I'd rather be with than you."
Kagome softly smiled and rested her head on his chest. "I love you, Inuyasha."
"I love y-" He started, but was suddenly cut off by a small voice.
"Will you two move from the door way? You're blocking it. My favorite cartoon is on right now and I really don't want to miss it." Shippo's voice said behind them.
Inuyasha and Kagome broke apart and let Shippo through, watching him walk over to the couch and plop down on the covers. They stared at him a little shocked by the interruption, but started to laugh a bit. They walked over to the couch as well and sat themselves on each side of Shippo.
They sat in silence for a while, just watching the cartoon with him, but when the show finally ended, Kagome pulled Shippo into her lap. "Shippo, I have something to tell you."
He gave her a curious look but nodded anyway, he already knew what she was going to say. "What's the matter, Kagome?"
"While engaged, the thought of having a child sounded good, but I realized that we already have you! But still, I'm sure you'd want someone to play with, so we have news for you. Shippo, I'm pregnant!"
Shippo smiled at two things, one for hearing the news, and two for hearing Kagome admit she loved him like a son. He hugged Kagome and congratulated her.
"Just so you know, runt, you're going to have to watch them when they're born." Inuyasha teased. Shippo paled as he heard this; he could just imagine a whole bunch of little Inuyashas running all over the place, and that did not sit well with him. Not that he wouldn't mind watching them; it scared him that he'd have to take care of a bunch of pain in the butts.
He silently nodded and eventually slid out from Kagome's lap, his stomach growling from not eating any dinner last night. He shyly smiled at Kagome and she understood. "So what would everyone like for breakfast?" She asked.

Miroku lay in his bed alongside his wife, wide awake and unable to sleep. All of the excitement from yesterday kept his body from finding rest. 'So Kagome is pregnant after all? I wonder how far along she is; it can't be more than 2 to 3 months. But how was she able to hide it so well?'
Sango movements next to him broke him out of his thoughts. "Sango, are you awake?" he asked in a whisper.
She grumbled but peaked an eye open. "Yeah, now I am. I keep getting this weird fluttering feeling in my belly. OH! Gosh, there it goes again. Here, feel it, maybe it's the babies?" She grabbed his hand and placed on her now very obvious bump.
As soon as Miroku's hands touched her stomach, a little kick met it. He pulled back in surprise, a look of awe written all over it. He put his hand back on the spot and the babies kicked again. He smiled widely and then gave Sango a warm, deep kiss.
Forgetting Kagome's situation, he excitedly exclaimed, "This is great! Let's tell everyone right away! Oh Sango, this is wonderful. YOU'RE WONDERFUL!" He brought her into a huge hug and gave plenty more kisses that left her breathless.
He got out of bed and hurriedly put on some clothes. Sango watched from the bed, a bit aroused and flustered from the onslaught of kisses. As he walked into their attached bathroom, she got out of bed and locked the door. If he thought she was going to let him leave without taking care of her problem, he better think again.
He came out again, expecting to see Sango already getting dressed to leave; instead he saw her standing at the doorway, an animalistic kind of look in her eyes. "Uh, Sango? What's wrong, why aren't you dressed yet?"
She didn't say anything, just approached him stealthily. He backed up a step and suddenly she pounced on him. He fell to the floor with her straddling his stomach, "Nuh-uh-uh, you're not leaving yet, at least, not until you've take care of me." And with that she kissed him fiercely. He couldn't help but succumb to the roughness of it. She started to unbutton his clothes, at the same time feeling his smooth muscles and kissing everywhere she could.
Thirty minutes later, a tousled monk and a very content taijiya left the bedroom. She hummed as she walked out the door followed by Miroku, and knocked on the door next to theirs. It opened up to reveal a very happy Kagome. "Morning Kagome!" Sango said as she smiled.
"Ah, Sango, Miroku! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked. She stepped aside and let them into the apartment. She ushered them to the small kitchen table filled with all sorts of food.
Sango and Miroku sat down in the vacant seats left; Sango then proceeded to tell them the great news. "You won't believe it! The babies, they moved today!"
Kagome's face lit up with excitement. "Oh my gosh, Sango, that's fantastic news! You're going to tell everyone else right?"
"Oh of course! Midoru and Rin will be excited too! Oh, they're kicking again; do you want to feel it?" Kagome and Shippo eagerly came over and placed their hands on her swelling belly.
"Heh, it tickles!" Kagome giggled as the babies kicked again.
"They sure move around a lot in there." Shippo said in awe.
Kagome removed her hand and went to grab the phone. "I'll ask my mom to make another appointment for you. She'll be excited to hear about the news too."

When Midoru heard Sango's news, she immediately set up an appointment. They were told to be there at 12 noon, and it was already 11:00. The group loaded up into Inuyasha's car and drove of to the hospital. Inuyasha was less than pleased since that would mean he would have to deal with that smell again, but he wasn't going to complain.
They arrived a good 30 minutes later thanks to traffic and looking for parking space. By the time they signed in and took a seat in the waiting room, it was 11:45, just a 15 minutes wait before they get called.
Inuyasha was already complaining about the smell and wanted to go wait in the cafeteria again, but before he could even leave, a nurse stepped out. "Sango Kazaana? Is there a Sango Kazaana here? Dr. Rin is ready to see you."
Sango stood up at the sound of her name, with the help of Miroku of course, and followed the nurse. Inuyasha was about to drag Kagome away when another nurse stepped out and called, "Kagome Inutaisho? Kagome Inutaisho please?"
Sango had barely walked through the door when she heard Kagome's name being called. She looked to Miroku who had also heard the name. He was about to answer when Kagome and Inuyasha walked in followed by their own nurse.
"Kagome? What are you doing in here?" Sango asked in a surprised voice.
Kagome blushed but smiled. "Ah, I wanted it to be a surprise for later, but now that my covers blown…Um, Sango, I'm pregnant too!"
Sango quickly hugged her friend, though not as hard in fear of her babies, but hard enough to show how excited and happy she was. "Oh Kagome, congratulations!"
Kagome hugged her back but let go after a few seconds since the nurses were still waiting. "We can talk some more after our appointments, okay Sango?"
She nodded and let the nurse take her away. Kagome watched her go but soon followed her own nurse, eager for her first appointment.

"Please wait here, the doctor will be right with you." The nurse said and turned to leave. Inuyasha sat in the chair nearby and watched Kagome as she looked around the room at the different posters.
Soon the doctor stepped in. "Mrs. Kagome Inutaisho, correct? I'm Dr. Wei; it's a pleasure to meet you." The doctor bowed and then extended his hand to hers, lightly shaking it. He then stepped over to a counter and took out a clip board. "Just need to ask a few questions before we do your ultrasound."
Kagome answered every question as best she could. Most of the questions were how many times did she and Inuyasha have sex and how long ago. Just recalling it made her blush, but the doctor understood. He then told her to lie on the table and lift her shirt while he got things ready.
While she lifted her shirt Inuyasha noticed a somewhat obvious protrusion from her belly. How no one was able to tell she was pregnant was beyond her, but it made Inuyasha happy knowing she was and he could only smile in thought of when they were born. When Dr. Wei returned, Kagome saw the smile and blushed a bit, not sure what he was smiling at.
Dr. Wei proceeded to put the gel on her stomach and spread it around, trying to get a somewhat clear picture of Kagome's womb. Inuyasha and Kagome watched with interest, well, Kagome more so than Inuyasha, since he couldn't make out a thing in the picture; but still, when the doctor finally found what he was looking for, he pointed to the screen and traced out a faint but slightly moving line.
"There's your baby! That's its heart beat." Dr. Wei announced. Kagome smiled, staring at the small shape; Inuyasha looked at the screen and saw slight movement. Dr. Wei moved the picture over so more and smiled widely.
"Would you look at that, twins! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Inutaisho!" He yet again pointed to the screen where another small shape was located. Kagome gasped in surprise while Inuyasha's jaw dropped.
"They both seem to be in good condition; it's quite developed for 2 months along...You did say two months right?" Dr. Wei began to inspect the blurry shapes, seeing if something was wrong in anyway.
"Uh, it should be. Why is something wrong with them?" Kagome said, becoming nervous.
"Not particularly, it's just that the size of them is too big to be 2 months. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were four months along. Are you sure it's only 2 months?"
Kagome nodded and Dr. Wei grabbed a clip board to take notes. "Well Kagome, as I said, nothing is wrong with them, but it's a bit unusual for them to be growing so fast. Make an appointment with me for next month; we'll see if anything's progressed by then. Until then Kagome, just consider yourself to be 4 months along. I'll see you soon."
Dr. Wei bowed and left the couple to themselves. They were a bit worried, what could be wrong with the babies? Kagome was certain that she was not 4 months along, but now that she thought about it, the month she found out she was pregnant she had gained quite a lot of weight and was already slightly showing.
'As long as the babies are safe, it's okay.' Kagome put her hands on her belly and put on a determined stare.
