AN: Heyyy, so I am finally uptading! OMG! I know it's been forever and I sincerillay apologize. It is so hard to find time to write. Luckily my problem is with finding time between boyfriend, full time job, full time school, and a social life, instead of it being writers block. No, I know exactly what's coming up, so if you are still reading, please leave a review, so that I know this story is worth updating. Because it really is and you have no idea what I have coming up in the chapters coming up.
Enjoy the story.

Finally I spoke. "Hey."

My mom was the first to compose herself. "Happy birthday baby." She put her hand over her heart.

I pouted. "Mom." I don't want her to call me that; especially when I'm sitting in here. I looked over at Kagome. She looked like she was about to be sick. "Are you okay, Kagome?"

She shook her head no, and my mom wrapped an arm around her.

"Can you talk to me?" I asked.

Her face scrunched up and she shrugged again. I saw a couple tears trail down her face. I felt like I was punched in the gut, feeling so bad.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry." I didn't think she would be so upset.

She only nodded, more tears falling.

"This stress," my mom said, "isn't good for the baby."

I sighed. "I know mom."

There was a silence. All I could here was Kagome's sniffles over the phone.

"You have to get me out of here." I said desperately.

She looked away for a moment. "Inuyasha, your father gave me clear instructions that you are to stay here until you go to court."

"Why?" I pleaded.

"Because you need to understand that you can't do drugs. We trusted you."

"Mom." Some would call it a whine.

I got no response.

The guilt rose in my chest. "I'm sorry."

I heard Kagome snort. "Sure you are."

"Of course I am." I defended. I didn't want to end up in jail. It's my damn birthday!

"You're only sorry you got caught. Not that you broke our trust." I saw my mom nodding in agreement.

"Of course I'm sorry I got caught." Who wouldn't be?

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Exactly, you're not sorry that you lied, you're not sorry you broke our trust, you're not sorry you've got everyone worried sick about you."

"Kagome you know that's not what I meant."

She shook her head. "I really, truly did think you were starting to change."

"Are you kidding me? I did change ever since we got married!" I couldn't help but get a little pissed. I did change. Why is it nobody ever gives me credit for anything? "I stopped going out every night, I was doing better in school, and I cut down on how often I went to school high. Hell, I even stopped sleeping around! Nobody ever noticed but I still kept it up. I'm trying to be a better person for our daughter. And I haven't done anything wrong since my accident. Friday night was the first time and I was only trying to celebrate my fucking birthday."

After my speech was done I calmed down, letting the two soak it in. I mean honestly I try, for god's sake I do try, but the only thing anyone ever notices is when I mess up.

"So," Kagome started of quietly, "What's it like in there?"

I exhaled and shook my head. "Boring."

She looked at me expectedly. "And?"

"That's it. Boring."

"Well, what do you do?" she asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I sit around and think."

My mom decided to join the conversation. "What do you think about all day?"

I looked at the floor, ashamed. "My daughter." I'm not ashamed that I think of her, more like ashamed to be in jail. "I shouldn't be taking any risks when I have my baby girl on the way. How is she doing anyways?"

I saw Kagome smile and she placed a hand on her growing belly. "She's been taking after her dad."

I smirked. "How so?"

"By being bad." She smiled slyly.

The three of us laughed.

"Not my angel." I joked. But seriously though she's gonna be a good girl.

"Mhmm," Kagome said, "she likes to keep me up at night by kicking as soon as I start to fall asleep. And I've been getting heartburn more often along with some other pregnancy symptoms no one likes."

Our conversation went on for the remainder of our time together, and it really hurt to watch them leave. I watched them walk out, to go home, but I have to stay here.

The time passed so slowly and I found myself rethinking my entire life throughout the days. Eventually after what seemed like months, but was actually just the longest week of my life, I got to go to court. I know my dad got me the best lawyer around so I'm pretty sure this is my last day here.

I said my goodbyes to my roommate and was led to the front area to pick up my clothes and the rest of my things before leaving. After letting me change they handcuffed me and took me to a car that would take me to the courthouse. When I walked into a small room my lawyer greeted me.

"Hello Inuyasha."

I nodded. "Sup."

He took a seat next to me and opened up his briefcase, pulling a few papers out. "Okay well let's just go over this one more time before I talk to the judge."

"Okay."

"Great. Now let's see here, on the night of January, 7 you got pulled over. There were two people in the car, you were driving, and your friend, a Miroku, was the passenger. The officer stopped you for speeding, he says you were going 47 on a 35. Correct?"

"Yes."

He smiled. "Alright, next. The officer thought he smelled marijuana and did a search of the car, yourself, and the passenger. He found a small bag of marijuana and that's when you were arrested?"

I nodded.

"Alright then. Can you tell me how much you had in that bag?"

"I don't know, about 5 grams maybe."

He wrote that down. "What about a sobriety test, did you take one?"

"No I did not." I shook my head.

"Interesting, he should have given you a citation for that, not arrested you."

I nodded again, but this time with a small smile.

"Did he find anything else on you or in the car?"

"No."

"What about your passenger, Miroku?"

"Nothing."

"Okay then," he smiled, "I'm sure this won't take too long then. Just wait here in this room, and I'm going to go talk to the judge and the prosecutor." He stood up, put his papers away, and left me in the room by myself.

I took a deep breath once I was alone. It smells better here than the jail did. It was very quiet and I felt so anxious waiting for my lawyer to come back into the room.

I feel like a changed man. Sure I loved getting high and even if it was only once in a while, but now I've realized it's not worth risking my freedom. I don't know what I would do if I got into some type of trouble that my parents couldn't get me out of, and I would have to miss my daughter's life because of it. I really think I've learned something this week that just never clicked before.

I don't know how long I sat in the briefing room but my lawyer walked in with a smile on his face.

"How did it go?" I asked nervously.

"Good. The charges have all been dropped except for the speeding ticket, and you get a small ticket for the possession. Now because of the time you spent in jail waiting to see the judge your fines are going to be reduced. And now, you are free to go."

I'm free! I smiled. "Thank you."

He held out his arm and we shook hands. "You're welcome. Stay out of trouble kid." He joked and left the room.

I made my way to the building's exit and held my breath as I walked out the door. I had a grin on my face as I starting walking towards my house. "I'm free."

I think it took me an hour but eventually I made it to my house. Yeah, I could have called someone to pick me up, but I just want to be outside.

I opened the front door to a dark entrance way. That's weird, usually the light is on. Well I guess I'll just go to the kitchen and eat some real food. My stomach growled. Jail food was not good to me. I walked over to the kitchen and turned on the light.

"SURPRISE!"

I jumped back into the hallway, and peeked back in. Inside the kitchen were Miroku, Kagome, Rin, Tomaru, Sesshomaru, and my mom.

I stepped back in the room with a pout. "Can you not jump out at me like that?"

My mother ran up to me. "Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart. It's just that we're all so excited to have you safe at home." She gave me a tight hug, which I returned. I missed my mom.

Kagome walked over to me and I gave her a small hug before I rubbed my hand over her belly. When the baby kicked I smiled. "She missed you." Kagome said.

"Well I'm not going anywhere." I said seriously.

Kagome's eyes watered a little and she nodded.

Next I said hi to Rin and the baby. Then Sesshomaru gave me and hand shake. Miroku and I hugged each other manly like.

"So do we got any food?" I asked my mom.

She made a face. "Yes Inuyasha, we got food." She went to the oven a pulled out something that smelled delicious. "I made a turkey!"

Kagome went to the fridge. "And we have cake." She started to pick it up and I walked over.

"Here let me get that Kagome." I said taking the heavy cake from the fridge. "Jeez this thing is huge." I placed it on the counter and grabbed the plate of food that my mom made for me. My mouth started to water. Turkey, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, even the steamed carrots looked good.

After I sat at the table I grabbed a spoon and started scooping the food into my mouth. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom hand me a glass of water and I gulped that down too.

By the end of the night I had four servings of food, and three big pieces of cake. I finished with a huge burp. Then I leaned into my seat, patting on my stomach. "That was the best meal ever."

After taking the longest shower of my life I wrapped a fuzzy towel around my waist and walked into my room. Kagome was sitting on my bed.

"Hey." I said.

She looked up and blushed. "Inuyasha put some clothes on."

I smirked. "You're in my room, be glad I'm not naked." I laughed. "So, what's up, Kagome?"

She smiled and shook her head. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay."

My face scrunched. "Of course I'm okay." I sat down next to her, my hand reaching for her stomach.

She put her hand over mine. "I was scared."

"Why?" Did something happen to her?

She moved to sit on my lap and looked away from me. "I was scared for you. I didn't know what was going on in there."

I huffed, wrapping my arms around her. "I'm fine Kagome. Nothing happened to me. I didn't do anything but sit around and think."

"But I hear all these stories about what happens in jail…"

I rolled my eyes. "That's mostly in the bigger jails Kagome. Don't worry; nothing happened that would scar me for life if that's what you mean." I gave her a crooked smile.

She sighed. "Well that's a relief."

We sat in a comfortable silence.

I was the first to speak. "These last ten days I've thought about more than I ever have in my entire life. I've learned a lot, and I feel like a completely different person."

Her eyebrows lifted.

"I realized that the most important thing in my life is right here." I placed both hands on her baby bump. "I realized that I need to treat you better than I have. Especially with more appreciation, because you were smart enough not to listen to me when I asked you to get an abortion. If I had it my way months ago, we would have probably never talked again, and the one thing that I love more than I love myself wouldn't be here. I owe you the world; because you are giving me mine. And I'm not in love with you, but I love you."

AN: Okayy so what do you think? Now if you feel Inuyasha is a bit out of character lets remember that he has been locked up for over a week with nothing to do but spend time with his cellmate Kato, who taught him a few things about life. Sometimes it takes years in jail to change a person, other times not as long. Anyways, I hope you all are still reading this. It's only the beginning and this story has big things coming soon. Review so I know you're all still out there. Or else... ;)
