The flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles was going to take 10 hours, in that time period Kagome had to figure out how she was going to tell Tony he was going to be a father. She figured the best thing to do was immediately volunteer to do a paternity test, then tell him he was under no obligation to take responsibility for this baby so he wouldn't feel that Kagome was pressuring him into something he didn't want.

Shippou had already done the research for her and found out that a simple blood test from her and a mouth swab from him and they could determine the paternity of the baby. After that, she would leave him with his thoughts.

'That's the best idea.' She thought.

So, with that settled Kagome enjoys the rest of her flight back to L.A. But as they got closer and closer to the United States her nerves started getting the better of her.

'Maybe I should have thought of a better plan.' She thought.

'Oh, well, no use crying over spilled milk.'

The pilot came over the intercom informing her that they were coming in for a landing. Kagome put her tablet away and buckled up. It was seven in the morning when she landed, it took her about an hour to get through customs and get her luggage. A car was already waiting for her to take her to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel Hotel. It was nine by the time she was checked in and settled in her suite.

Kagome took a quick nap. When she woke up she showered changed and called down for her driver to be ready. She got downstairs and got in the car.

"Where to, Miss?"

"10880 Malibu Point."

The driver looked at her but didn't ask any questions. Everyone knew who lived at that address.

It took nearly an hour to get to Tony's house. Kagome was lucky, the traffic wasn't bad at all they made great time. When they got there, the driver pulled up to the gate and pressed the intercom.

**Can I help you, sir?**

"Miss Kagome Higurashi is here to see Mr. Tony Stark."

**One moment, sir.**

Tony was down in the garage taking apart the engine to one of his cars when JARVIS scared the crap out of him.

**Sir.**

Tony jumped and hit his head on the roof of the car. He hissed and started rubbing his head.

"What is it, JARVIS?"

**Sir, Kagome Higurashi is here to see you.**

Upon hearing her name, flashes of their night together started racing through his mind. Oh, he could never forget Kagome, that was the best night of his life. He felt things he had never felt before, not even with Pepper.

"Show her in JARVIS, then ask her to wait while I get cleaned up."

**Yes, sir.**

JARVIS opened the gate and the driver drove up to the front doors.

"Would you like me to wait for you, Miss Higurashi?"

"No, thank you, Jim, I'll call a cab when I need to leave."

Kagome gave Jim a $200.00 tip when he opened the door for her. She made her way to the door and was about to knock when the door opened. She stepped inside and the door closed.

**Good afternoon, Miss Higurashi.**

Kagome smiled, "Good afternoon, JARVIS, how are you?"

**I'm doing well, ma'am, how are you?**

"Oh, just fine."

**That's good to hear, please come into the living room. Mr. Stark asked me to tell you that he'll be along shortly. He needed to get cleaned up. In the meantime may I offer you something to drink, tea perhaps?**

"Jasmine tea if you have it please, if not a glass of water would be fine."

A few moments later a hole in the coffee table opened up and a hot cup of Jasmine tea was placed on the table.

"Thank you, JARVIS."

**My pleasure, ma'am.**

Kagome calmly sat there drinking her tea waiting for Tony. She looked around his house and admitted to herself that it was a lovely home. When she finished her tea, she stood up and walked over to the window to look out over the ocean. It was a beautiful view and very soothing.

Kagome was staring out the window when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She turned to see Tony wearing a Black Sabbath short sleeve round neck T-shirt. Black jeans and a pair of black sneakers. He got to the bottom of the stairs and gave her a cheeky grin.

"Why, hello there, Kagome, what a nice surprise."

Tony had a sudden urge to give her a hug and a kiss, which he thought was odd. Considering he wasn't one for physical contact. He mentally shrugged and went with it.

Crossing the room, Tony went up to Kagome and gave her a hug and a peck on the lips.

"To what do I owe this little visit, business or pleasure? Please tell me it's the latter," Tony said wiggling his eyebrows.

Kagome smiled at him, "I wish it was the latter, Tony, but unfortunately it's neither."

Kagome pulled out of his arms and walked away from him. Tony watched her as she walked across the room and noticed that her body posture had changed. She was stiff and tense, she had crossed her arms like she was hugging herself. Tony started to get concerned.

"Kagome, what's the matter? Whatever's bothering you I'm sure we can solve it together."

'Whoa, where did that come from?' Tony thought.

"I hope you mean that, Tony, because I have something to tell you that is going to change your life forever."

Tony gulped, his mind flashed to the unused condom that was on his nightstand, "What is it?" He asked apprehensively.

"I'm pregnant and it's yours."

Tony stood there for a second then swayed on his feet. He reached out and put his hand on the couch then sat down. Rubbing his chin he looked at Kagome, who was staring at him.

"Are you sure it's mine?"

"I'm positive, I hadn't been with anyone but you in six years or anyone after and if you do the math it fits. Look I know you have your doubts, so if you want we can do a paternity test right now. All we need to do is draw some blood from me and a swab of your mouth then the paternity test can be done."

"JARVIS, is that true?"

**Yes, sir, the accuracy of a prenatal paternity test is 99.9% Miss Higurashi must be at least eight weeks pregnant.**

"How many weeks are you?"

"Eight weeks as of yesterday."

"Oh, Okay."

"Should we go to the hospital," Kagome asked.

"No, JARVIS has my DNA on file and I can do the blood draw. Besides JARVIS can have the results faster."

"Okay, let do this," Kagome tells him.

With those words, everything that Tony would need to draw blood was put on the coffee table by JARVIS. Kagome walked to the kitchen and sat down on the stool. Tony grabbed everything and followed her. He washed his hands in the sink, dried them then put the gloves on. He then prepares the syringe, then ties the tourniquet on Kagome's upper arm. Tony finds a vein cleans it with an alcohol pad and inserts the needle, Kagome didn't even flinch. He takes one vial of blood, shakes it then puts it aside. Tony then pulls the needle out. He puts pressure then a band-aid. He puts the vial of blood in the slot on the table and sends it to JARVIS.

**I shall have the results in an hour.**

Tony sighs and looks at Kagome. She pats his hand and gives him a sympathetic look.

"Have you eaten yet," Kagome asked.

"No, I haven't."

"Let me make you something to eat while we wait."

"You don't have to, Kagome."

"I want to."

Kagome gets off the stool and goes into the kitchen. She rummages through his refrigerator and freezer and pulls out two steaks and veggies to make a salad and soup. Kagome looks through his spices and nods. He had everything she needed to season the steaks.

Kagome first gets started on simple tomato soup for Tony. She figures a hot soup would comfort him right now. While that was simmering, she seasoned the steaks and put them on his grill. Tony watched from his chair fascinated. As the steaks cooked, Kagome looked to see if there was any Chamomile tea. When she found it she boiled a kettle of water. When the water was ready she made the tea and set it in front of Tony.

"Drink this, it'll settle your nerves."

"Thank you."

Kagome smiled at him and went back to work. She turned the steaks and asked Tony how he liked his steak. He told her medium well so Kagome made sure it was cooked exactly how he liked it.

After she turned the steaks, she got started on the salad. She chopped all the veggies add it to a salad bowl, sprinkled it with a little Italian dressing and tossed it. By that time the steaks and the soup were ready. Kagome set the kitchen table set placed the salad and the steaks along with the grilled onions bell peppers and mushroom in the middle then ladled out two bowls of soup. She also gets a pitcher of water for herself but doesn't know what to get Tony.

"Okay, Tony everything is ready. I wasn't sure what to get you to drink."

"Right now I don't think I could handle anything stronger than water."

Kagome pours him a glass of water. She's about to sit down but Tony pulls the chair out for her. He may be in a daze but he still knew how to act properly with a lady, especially a woman that was the potential mother of his child.

Kagome smiled at him and sat down, "Thank you, Tony."

He smiled back, "My pleasure."

Tony then sat down, placed the napkin on his lap and started eating the soup. He hummed after his first spoonful.

"This is the best tomato soup I have ever had."

"Thank you, Tony."

When they finished their soup, Kagome served him some salad and his steak with the veggies she grilled. He ate the salad then took a bite of his steak.

"Oh my god, this is the best steak I've ever had.

"Thank you, Tony."

While they ate, the talked a little about their lives. Not much, there was still a little tension in the air. As soon as they finished their meal and Kagome put all the dishes in the dishwasher with Tony's help. JARVIS announced that the results were ready.

"What are the results, JARVIS?"

**Sir, there is a 99.9% chance that you are the father of Miss Higurashi's baby.**

Kagome watched as the color drained from Tony's face and he once again swayed on his feet. He suddenly rushed over to the bar and poured himself a drink. Downing it in one gulp he sat down and stared at nothing. A father, he was going to be a father. It was something he never wanted before, he always thought that he would be a terrible father just like his dad. But now the more he thought about it the more excited he became.

'I'm going to have a little mini-me.' he thought.

Slowly a smile starts to spread across his face.

"Tony, I want you to know that I don't expect anything from you. I thought you would like to know that you're going to be a father. If you want to be apart of the baby's life that's wonderful. If you don't I understand. I'm going to go and leave you with your thoughts."

Tony was still in his own little world when it finally clicked what Kagome said. Not want to be part of his kid's life? Was she nuts? He turned around and saw that she was already reaching for the door. Tony's eyes widened and he rushed towards her, right when Kagome walked out of the house, Tony caught her wrist.

"I want nothing more than to be part of this baby's life," Tony said with a smile.

Kagome sighed in relief, "So do I."

With that, Tony pulled Kagome back into the house.
