AN: Here is the next chapter...I was going to wait for a couple more reviews till I posted this but I guess I'm just nice. Thank you very much for those who did review. I appreciated them all. So here it is enjoy.


Right now me and Kagome are headed to her doctor's appointment. She told me that we're going to have sonogram to try and find out the sex since I guess 18 weeks is the soonest you can tell.

"So," Kagome starting talking, "are you excited to find out what we're having?"

I just shrug. I don't know; yes, no. I look over to her stomach. She's still really thin. You can barely tell she's pregnant. Just looks more like she ate a little too much.

When we pull in the parking lot I tell Kagome to go inside so I can have a smoke in the parking lot.

I take out a cigarette and start to smoke it. The nicotine calming my nerves. Today has been a crazy day so far.

Soon enough I find myself walking inside the small building and finding my way to the chair next to Kagome's. "Did they say how long?" I ask.

She only shook her head while she continued to read a magazine. Feeling a small vibration in my pocket, I take out my phone and see I have a text message from Kikyo. I'll read it later.

The nurse finally opens the door and calls out, "Kagome?"

"That's me." Kagome stands up and puts the magazine down then we both follow the woman down a hallway and into a small room.

She asks Kagome a couple of questions and tells us to expect the OBGYN in a few minutes. We wait in silence. Well for a few seconds at least, of course Kagome would start talking.

"Are you nervous, Inuyasha?"

"Why?" I smirk. "Are you?"

She shrugs her shoulders a bit. "A little. I'm scared that something's going to be wrong because of me fighting with Kikyo."

I never thought of that. "Everything's fine. It was a small fight."

"But still."

"But nothing." I can feel myself getting angry. "The baby will be perfectly fine."

Thankfully she shut up. I didn't realize that Kikyo could have possibly hurt the baby. Well if she did then she's gonna have another thing coming.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. The doctor walked in. "Hello there. How are you doing?"

"I'm good, how are you?" Kagome responded.

"Fine, thank you." The woman scanned over Kagome's chart. "First thing is that I'm going to measure you so if you could lift up your shirt please?"

Kagome did as she was told and Dr. Khari did some measuring, writing everything she did down.

"Okay well now we are going to do the sonogram." She smiled. "I'm sure you've been anxious to see your child for the first time, no?"

She took a tube of lube and squeezed some of it onto Kagome's lower abdomen. Then she turned the machine on and pressed the transducer down moving around, looking on the screen until she found what she was looking for.

Finally I think my heart stopped and my breath caught when I saw it.

Right there, that was it.

"Oh my gosh, Inuyasha." I heard Kagome gasp out.

I smiled at her, probably the first genuine smile I ever gave her. "I know."

The doctor smiled at us, probably thinking we were cute. But for once I didn't care.

Then she pointed out some of the baby's features. "Kagome it looks like your actually about 20 weeks along. Not 18."

My mind went blank for a second. "But that's not possible. Our first time was on the fourth of July; that was 18 weeks ago." I turned my head to look at Kagome. I could've sworn she was a virgin.

I guess she sensed what was about to go down and hurried to tell me what happened. "Well that's perfectly fine. We start counting two weeks before conception. So that makes perfect sense."

"Oh." I found myself calming down. Oh my god. That scared me. I don't know why exactly. That would only mean that it wasn't mine. AKA freedom. Right? Right. The only thing I got upset about is because then all this drama and the wedding would have been for nothing. Yeah, that's the only reason I almost freaked out. That's why.

"So," Kagome started, "that means there's even more of a chance to find out the sex?"

"Yes, and if baby would just stop moving around so I can find a good view," she joked, "Let's try a different angle."

After a moment or two she found a frame she liked and squinted, studying it. Her eyes widened back to normal when she discovered it. "Congratulations. It's a girl."

Suddenly I get this feeling throughout my body. As if I just finished getting high. I stood up and walked next to Kagome. "It's a girl."

Without thinking I reach out and take her hand, squeezing it lightly.

The rest of the appointment went by in a blur to me. I just kept replaying those three words in my head until the lights turn back on and Kagome's calling my name.

"Inuyasha, let's go."

I shake my head to clear it. "Right."

We walk down the hallway towards the waiting room and stop at the window to make our next appointment. Then we leave.

When we get in the car I don't turn on the engine but turn to look at Kagome. "Don't we get pictures?"

She smiled and pulled something out of a small bag. "Yeah, we need to make copies."

I took them from her and studied them; memorizing each detail. "I can't believe I'm going to have a daughter."

"I know." Kagome answered, taking the pictures out of my hand. "When we get back home I can't wait to show your mom."

I smirked, starting the car. "Well make sure to do it when I'm not around."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want my mom getting all emotional on me."

She laughed. I smiled. But I am halfway serious. She'll probably start crying and trying to hug me and I don't feel like going through that lovey-dovey shit.


When we get to the house I take Kagome's book bag out of the backseat and carry it in for her. Not because I like her but because it's probably better for the baby.

When we make it to her room I drop it off on the bed. "See you at dinner."

She stops me before I walk out. "You sure you don't want to be there when I tell your mom it's a girl?"

"Yeah," I call out over my shoulder, "and don't forget to make copies of the pictures. I know we have a copy machine somewhere in here."

I head over to my room and lock the door before I practically run towards the huge walk in closet. Instead of sneaking out onto the patio I decide to bake out my closet. When I finish packing my bowl a sudden thought hits me. Why don't I invite Miroku over? He can smoke with me and we can talk about what happened today.

I pull out my cell phone and look up his name before hitting the call button. After two rings he picks up.

"Hello?"

"What's up? You want to smoke?"

"Hell yeah; it's been a couple of days. I'll be right over."

We both hang up and I decide to go downstairs and play the Xbox while I wait. Go figure that I soon as I turn on the game I'm interrupted.

"Inuyasha!"

I sigh and put down the controller as my mom runs into the room.

"Yeah mom?"

"I'm so happy!" She jumped on the couch right next to me and grabbed me in a hug. "I'm going to have a granddaughter I always wanted to have a little girl." She pulled back and put her hand over her heart. "But you and Sesshomaru were always so difficult to handle and we didn't want to risk having another boy and being outnumbered."

Really now? "Gee thanks."

"It was so nice to find out what Rin was having too, but for the first time there is going to be a baby girl in this testosterone filled family." She sighed dreamily. "It's just what we needed."

I half way smiled. "You're weird mom. By the way, how much longer till I become an uncle?"

She stopped to think for a moment. "Um, I think its one more month until she's due."

I nodded and picked up my controller hoping that she'd get the hint. I was of course wrong.

My mom put hand on my shoulder. "You know, dear, I was so scared when I had found out you had gotten a girl pregnant." She looked out into space. "But I do adore Kagome. She seems like she's just perfect for this family."

My dad interrupts us as he walks into the room. "I agree, Izayoi. For once I'm glad Inuyasha screwed up by getting her pregnant. Because with his behavior I'm sure he'd never get a girl like Kagome on his own." He smirked.

I was a little surprised at that. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means she's out of your league."

I was about to get pissed off but my mother's laughter stopped me.

"Oh, Toga, you be nice to your son."

I smiled at her and then looked at my dad. "Yeah be nice to me."

My mom stood up and gave my dad a kiss. Then thankfully they left the room.

So I pick up the Xbox controller once more and start to play my game. In about two minutes Miroku walks in.

"Hey Yash."

I glare at him. "Can't I play for five minutes without being interrupted?"

He stops in his path and puts his hands up. "My bad."

I sigh. "No you're cool. Let's go upstairs."

We both walk up to my room and I grab the bowl from my closet. Then we take our seats on my patio and I take the first hit.

"So what is it you said about not smoking in a few days?" I ask him before I exhale.

"Sango is just bringing out the best in me I guess. I don't know. I can't do it around her and I'm always with her now."

I shake my head. Poor guy. "Maybe Kagome and Sango could hang out, and then you can smoke with me?"

"Maybe." He closes his eyes and puts his head back. "So what are you gonna do about Kikyo?"

"Same thing I do about every dumb broad I'm done with. Pretend she doesn't exist."

"Well that's going to be pretty hard since she's going to be at half the parties you go to."

He's right. "Well I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when you get to it."

We sit in silence for a few minutes. Taking hits and passing the bowl. Eventually I start to talk.

"So guess what?" I say with a small smile.

"Hm?"

"I'm going to have a daughter."

Miroku smiles at me. "No way. Congrats then. I'm glad to see you're excited about it."

I look out into the sky. "Yeah well…"


School was never the same. The moment I made it to the gym locker room Naraku approached me.

"Inuyasha, your phone was off yesterday."

I nodded. "Yeah well everyone was blowing it up and I needed some peace and quiet."

"Understandable." He said as we entered the gym. "So you're married?"

I gave him a dry laugh. "Ha, yeah for a few months now."

He looked at me with disbelief. I still can't believe you of all people are tied down."

"Not really tied down. I still do whatever and whoever the hell I want." I shook my head. "If Kikyo would have just minded her own damn business I'd probably still be hers…kind of."

"Yeah well I'm sure you're stressed out from all the female drama. I'm about to have some people over tonight. You up for it?"

"Depends on who's going to be there." I don't feel like dealing with Kikyo so soon.

"I'm not sure exactly." He shrugged before splitting into a grin. "But for sure our good friend Molly."

I smiled. "It's been too long since I last saw her. Count me in."


Later that night I hear a knock on my door while I'm in the closet. "What's up?"

I hear the door open and eventually hear Kagome's voice. "Inuyasha, I was wondering if-" she paused, "where are you going?"

I smirked as I finished putting on my leather jacket and black and white Jordans. "Nowhere." I walked over and grabbed my watch off my dresser.

Kagome eyed me. "Have you ever gone a week without going out?"

I sit on my bed. "Yeah actually. It was when I got grounded once."

She pouted, knowing when I was talking about.

"So," I say grabbing my phone off the charger and looking through some of the texts, "what is it you came in here for?"

"Oh, well forget it." She turned to walk out.

"What's up?"

She sighed and took a seat. "I'm having a problem with some people at school."

That got my temper going. "Oh yeah? Like who?"

"Your friends."

"What?" You've got to be kidding me. "Which ones, Kagome?"

She sighed. "Onigumo. I keep hearing him and Yura talking about me. I'm trying not to start anything but it was getting annoying. Like every time I saw them they seemed to be talking about me."

"Hm." I scowled. "Well I'll probably be seeing one of them tonight. I'll deal with the other later."

Kagome smiled and got up. "Thank you."

I nodded. "Yeah no biggie. I'm leaving now; you should get going to bed."

She laughed. "Oh really?"

"Yeah, oh really." I smirked. "You're pregnant and so you need to sleep."

"Whatever." Hmm, she's starting to sound like me. "Good night then. Try not to get too drugged up tonight. I'd like our daughter to have a sane father."

I shake my head as we walk out of my room. "Please, there is no such thing as sane."

That pretty much ended our conversation as we went our separate ways.


Walking into Naraku's house I kept my ring on for the first time. I found my way over to the table.

"Inuyasha." Koga was there. "I'm surprised to see you here."

"Yeah," Bankotsu was there too. "Shouldn't you be at home with the wife?" He started laughing.

I don't humor them with a laugh. "Yeah, whatever. Very funny."

"So," Koga took the conversation, "what's up with you and Kikyo now?"

I rolled my eyes. "Nothing now. She could've hurt my kid with that stunt she pulled yesterday. So I'm pretty much done with her."

"I can't believe you're going to have a baby with Kagome." Koga shook his head.

I smirked. "Why? You jealous?"

He shrugged. "Well she is a great catch…"

I narrowed my eyes on him. "Yeah well she's been caught so deal with it."

Everyone at the table stopped what they we're doing and stared at me.

"What?"

Bankotsu started laughing and held out a blunt for me. "Here you go Yash, smoke this."

I take it and start it out, passing it around the table.

"So what's up with the ecstasy?" I look over to Naraku.

He pulled out a bag from his pocket. The said drug inside of it.

I grin. "Awesome."
