Chapter 2: Stress
Mrs. H stood in shock in front of her daughter and looked at her in disbelief.
"You don't mean.." Akira stuttered.
"Yeah, I'm almost positive, but I just want to make sure." She said cheerfully as if it happened everyday.
"Kagome another." Mrs. H groaned. "But that's so much responsibility. How did Inuyasha take it?" Kagome suddenly found her fingers very interesting as she nervously poked them together. "You have told Inuyasha?"
"Well.. I only just found out today and there's no harm in waiting a little while longer to tell him." Kagome said. "Can I have the money?"
"Of course you can, but I'm coming with you to the corner store. We need to talk." Kagome gulped nervously under her mother's stern look.
"Sure why not?" Kagome said and waited for her mother to grab a light over sweater and her purse.
Kagome and her mother quietly walked down the shrine steps and stepped onto the sidewalk, heading towards the corner store.
"You wanted to talk?" Kagome asked as they walked.
"Kagome another child is a big responsibility and a lot of work, especially when you already have two, and especially when you are only seventeen years old."
"Mom, I know what you are getting at, but I'm not having an abortion and I'm not putting my child up for adoption."
"I'm not suggesting an abortion dear, last time I tried that you declined and it's my guess you would this time. An adoption though.. may not be such a bad idea."
"For one the baby will most likely have dog ears like Inuyasha and people would want to do genetic testing on it and I can never live with myself knowing that a child created from Inuyasha and me is out there angry all the time because he or she doesn't know who his or her parents are."
"Well than as long as you can take care of the responsibility than do as you wish, but there's something else I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Me and Soshi are going to be wed."
Meanwhile
Inuyasha sat in the bath leaning against a rock and keeping one eye on the twins as he idly splashed at one another in the low end. Their hair was all over and they look like a mess with the mud from the bottom of the spring on them.
Inuyasha had already cleaned them with soap and baby shampoo that Kagome had gotten from their trip to the mall three weeks ago.
Inuyasha felt like it was time to get out and so he ducked his head under once and than swan over to the twins.
"Come on you two enough." he said. The two babies stopped splashing and looked at their father. "You two are more messy than when you first got in here." Inuyasha took them and quickly splashed the mud off of them. "This is Kagome's job." he groaned and pulled the twins from the water and placed them on a towel. He quickly dressed himself and the two infants. "Kagome better be back by now." He said picking up his kids and walking through the woods towards Kaede's to see if Kagome was there yet.
Meanwhile
"You're.. getting married to Soshi. Isn't it a little sudden?" Kagome asked with a small frown. Sure she was happy for them, but she wasn't so sure a wedding would lessen the stress.
"Well we've talked it over and decided it was right. We still love each other Kagome."
"Well than I'm very happy for you!" Kagome hugged her mother.
"Thank you. It makes me happy to know I have your blessing. I have Soshi tell you and Inuyasha when it will be held. "Speaking of weddings..."
"I already talked to you about it. Inuyasha and I are married, just in demon terms."
"Well how about you marry in human terms?" Kagome thought this over for a moment and than thought about all the stress and than thought about how stress was bad for a pregnant woman and how she could be harming her unborn child.
"No, no weddings for me anytime soon. Maybe after the baby if born, but for now I'm trying to make things as stress free as possible."
"Alright than." Mrs. Higurashi said as they came to the stores entering post. They walked in and immediately got the pregnancy test. Mrs. H picked it up. "This good enough?"
"Yeah, as long as it's easy to use."
"Than we should be going."
"No, there's one more thing." Kagome ran down the baby isle and pulled out some formula and bottles. "There should do." She smiled.
"What are those for? Aren't you still breast feeding them."
"It's not good to breast feed while you're pregnant mom."
"Well I know that, it's just going to be hard to get them to switch so soon."
"They'll live." Kagome said as she placed all the items on the counter and looked at the back of the clerk. Her hair indicated she was a woman. Kagome watched and suddenly her eyes grew wide as the woman turned around. She was Kagome's age and very familiar. It was Amedama. (A/N: She's the snotty popular girl from the prequel who wanted Inuyasha as her own when Kagome brought Inuyasha to school for a day.) Amedama gave Kagome an incredulous look.
"Well, well, well if it isn't innocent Higurashi." Amedama said courtly. Kagome felt her anger rage and watch Amedama's view land on the items. "Or maybe you're not so innocent?" Kagome felt an intense urge to show off.
"Well.." Kagome smiled. "Me and Inuyasha have been busy lately. We even have our own house now. He's so nice and sweet to me and oh those muscles... don't you wish you had them?" Kagome wanted to laugh so hard at the jealous look on Amedama's face.
"I never knew you thought so highly of me." said an all too familiar voice from behind Kagome. 'Oh god.' Kagome said turning to her mate.
"Why are you here and where are... where are they?"
"Relax they're with Sango and Miroku and stuff. I only came to see what was taking you so long." Inuyasha crossed his arms. 'Oh.. what is taking me so long?' Kagome eyes went wide as she turned and saw the items on the counter and knew Inuyasha would figure it out.
"Nothing. I just came to get some ramen. Go ahead and get yourself some." She said using her body to hide the items. Amedama noticed this and started to think Kagome hadn't told Inuyasha about her possible pregnancy, which meant Inuyasha could leave Kagome. Amedama saw this as an opportunity to get Inuyasha.
"Alright?" Inuyasha was about to turn around when he heard something drop. He looked over and saw Kagome quickly pick something up of the ground, but didn't see what it was. "What.."
"Go and get the ramen or you're never getting any ever again." Kagome said angrily, completely aware of Amedama's plan. She turned and glared at the girl and Amedama smiled innocently. "What do you think you're doing?"
"It fell."
"Yeah, sure. Just scan it." Kagome said.
"But don't you want to make sure Inuyasha knows what you're buying? That was he can make sure it's safe."
"I'm safe enough without him knowing." Kagome glared. Amedama snorted and scanned the items reluctantly. She placed them in a bag and handed them to Kagome.
Kagome was about to leave when she saw Inuyasha coming with - what was probably the whole section - of ramen. She grunted.
Meanwhile
Soshi sat on the living room couch watching wrestling and eating chips. He was interested in the modern equipment, especially television. To him it was so high-tech.
His thoughts drifted to his daughter who now had a son and daughter of her own. 'A demon as young as me shouldn't have two grandchildren and another on the way.' he thought pensively and stuffed another chip into his mouth.
"Kagome had definitely grown up since the last time I saw her." He nodded his head agreeing with that thought. He looked over at the door as Sota entered and looked drained.
Sota had everything about Soshi explained a week ago and wasn't to used to the fact that Soshi was his father.
"Everything okay kiddo?" Soshi asked. Sota looked up at him and nodded.
"Just a lot of school work." He mumbled.
"Want to come and watch this with me? I got chips." Sota smiled.
"Yeah." He ran over and sat beside his father eating chips and watching TV.
Meanwhile
Sango sat there across from the two sitting twins. She looked fearfully at them not knowing what to expect from them. They looked a little depressed since they were separated from their parents, but they didn't cry yet.
Sango only hoped Inuyasha and Kagome would come back soon because she didn't want to deal with two crying children right now.
"Calm down Sango." Miroku said from beside her. Sango looked at him. "If you're tense they'll be tense to. Just calm down." Miroku brought his hands up and began messaging Sango's shoulders. Sango moaned and leaned back into his touch.
Miroku took this as an opportunity and used one hand to grope Sango.
SMACK
Miroku rubbed his red cheek.
"Lecher! In front of the babies too. If they start learning things from you Inuyasha definitely wont be happy." Sango said. Miroku shivered at the thought of what Inuyasha would do if Uchuu started grabbing woman's bottoms.
Meanwhile
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kagome's mother walked down the side walk. Inuyasha of course had a huge grin on his face as he held three full bags of ramen.
Inuyasha's grin turned to a frown as he looked down and saw the bag in Kagome's hand. He wondered what could possibly be in that bag that Kagome could be hiding.
There's the end of the chapter. I'm sorry if it isn't that exciting yet. Just keep reading and review to explain what would make it better.
