AN: Wow, it's been a whole year since I updated! A lot of things have changed over the year. I've got a new boyfriend, and then left him for an old boyfriend, then another new boyfriend. I've been to a rehab/psych center for alcoholism and depression/anxiety issues. Move from one city to another. Changed jobs three different times. A lot has been going on. I would like to apologize for those who have been waiting all this time for an update. I understand how frustrating it is to want to know what's going to happen next and never see the next chapter. I'm sorry.


I hope that a lot of people are still reading and that this was worth the wait…

Today is a very big day for me. First off, Kaiya is three months old now; damn I still remember when she was born. But also, today is the day I graduate high school. Finally! I don't know how the hell I made it through but I did. Not at the top of my class, not anywhere near it… but at least I made it.

I smiled at myself in the mirror while putting on my clip on tie. Kagome walked in the room with the baby.

"Daddy looks nice today," she cooed, "Don't you agree, Kaiya?"

I smiled and looked at her. "You look good too."

"Thanks." She was wearing a pretty white sundress and some flats. "Our caps and gowns are in the car, and we're all ready to go."

I sprayed some cologne on quickly before nodding. "Alright let's go. My mom said everyone will meet us there."

We went to the garage and got in the car; Kagome bucked the baby and sat down. "Okay, ready."

As we drove I looked over at Kagome who was biting her bottom lip and looking out the window.

"Nervous?" I asked.

She looked at me and smiled. "Yeah."

When we made it to the school, we gave Kaiya to my mom and left to group with the other students. I found Miroku talking to Koga.

"What's up?" I laughed as I walked up to them.

"Yash," Koga said. "I can't believe it."

"I know. We made it, man." I put my arms around their shoulders.

"Come on Inuyasha." Kagome yelled over as she walked to our seats.

I looked at my guys. I can't believe how much drama I've gone through this last year. Craziest senior year ever. "Next time we talk, I'll be a high school graduate."


The ceremony was long and boring, but I was really proud of Kagome and myself. After it was over we all took pictures for a good half hour.

"Inuyasha." Kagome kissed me, as we walked back to the parking lot. "I'm so proud of you."

I smirked. "I'm proud of you too."

"Alright you two," my mom cut in, "I'm watching the baby for the night and you guys can go out and celebrate."

"Great," I kissed my mom and Kaiya. Then I grabbed Kagome's hand and headed to my car.

"Just stay out of trouble!"

"We will!" I yelled back. Then Kagome and I got in the car.

"So," she looked at me. "Now what?"

I smiled. "Now, I'm taking you out to dinner."

"Oh really?" she grinned. "That sounds nice."

"And when we get home…" I laughed, "Graduation sex."

She had a small smirk on her face. "Graduation sex? I didn't know that was a thing."

I grinned, turning away. "Eh, it is now."

Then I turned on the ignition and sped out of the parking lot.


A few weeks passed by and I feel like things are really going good in my life. Kagome and I have been enjoying our summer vacation and everything with Kaiya is going well. I've even cut down on smoking cigarettes. The only thing is that my mom has been acting really strange. Well she's not exactly acting strange, but she has been getting a lot of headaches lately. I don't understand why, it's probably just stress. I mean, my dad has been gone a lot more than usual.

Kagome, Rin, and my mom are going to go shopping today since dad is coming home soon. I guess he closed out some deal and wants to celebrate when he gets back. Except they wanted a girls day, so I get to babysit. Great. It's fine, now I don't have to follow them around carrying all the bags. I'd rather sit here and play video games while Kaiya sleeps.

"Inuyasha." Kagome came into the room with the baby. "Here, take her. We are all leaving now."

"Okay."

"She just woke up from a nap not too long ago." Kagome kissed the baby on her forehead before walking away.

"Alright." Well maybe she will fall back asleep.

I told Kagome goodbye and took Kaiya to our game room. Out of nowhere she started screaming.

I sighed. "What's wrong?"

She obviously ignored me and continued to cry. First thing I did was sniff by her butt. Nothing. I peeked inside the diaper. Nothing.

"Are you hungry?" I carried her to the kitchen and went to the fridge where her bottle was. Then I grabbed it and put it in her mouth.

I was expecting her to stop crying and start sucking but no; she just moved her head and kept screaming.

"Kaiya," I put the bottle down and held her to my face. "Be quiet."

She only stared at me as she continued to cry.

Shaking my head I went back to the game room to put her in her play pen. Maybe she was just tired. That's why she was crying worse. I've been keeping her awake instead of putting her to bed.

When I entered the room I laid her down in her spot and expected the cries to die down, but a couple minutes passed and the only changes where that I was getting a headache.

What the fuck am I supposed to do?

I turned off the lights, my system, and the TV. Maybe it wasn't dark or quiet enough. I mean, usually that's not an issue but who knows?

Some time passed and she was still going at it.

I walked over to my crying child and glared at her. "Listen Kaiya, you need to be quiet. I'm serious. I don't know what else you want me to do so please just shush."

More crying.

"Seriously kid, daddy hasn't smoked weed in a very long time and you're really testing my limits."

Crying.

I groaned and held my face in my hands. "You sure have a set of lungs don't you?"

Eventually Kaiya wore herself out and fell asleep. I got about an hour of peace and quiet before the girls came home.

"Inuyasha." Kagome smiled walking into the room.

"That was fast." I raised a brow. They were only gone for a couple hours, if that.

"I know." She sat down next to me on the couch, making her way into my arms. "Your mom had a really bad migraine…"

"Again?" I sighed.

"Yeah." she said frowning. "She wanted to keep shopping but I told her to just call it a day."

"I hope nothing's wrong." My mom has a headache almost every day.

"I don't know Yash. I'm sure it's okay. Once your dad gets home everything will be back to normal."

"Hm." Yeah, I hope so. Kagome still hasn't gotten in her head that normal is when he's gone. At least for me it is. I love my dad. He is a great person. He loves his family and is a great business man. But he was never really around for me. I prefer when he's not here, that's normal.

"So." She leaned her head on my chest. "How was Kaiya?"

I shook my head. "Worst ever."

"What do you mean?"

"Kagome," I looked her in the eye, "she would not shut the fuck up."

"Inuyasha!" She pulled away from me.

Shit. "No, don't get mad." I didn't mean it like that. "I'm just saying, no matter what I did she wouldn't stop screaming."

"Did you check her diaper?"

"Of course." What does she think I am, retarded?

"Did you try feeding her?"

"Yes." Wow, she really does think I'm retarded. "I'm not dumb Kagome."

"Well," Kagome looked over at the baby and smirked, "maybe she wanted her binky. Did you give it to her?"

"Yeah." Fuck, I didn't. "Okay no." I stood up and shook my arms. "Shit, all that over a fucking binky?"

Kagome laughed. "You're cute. All she wanted was her binky."

I glared at my wife. "Well why wasn't it in her mouth when you gave her to me?"

"I had them all in the dish washer." Kagome shrugged. "I didn't think I'd actually have to tell you about a binky, Inuyasha." Kagome started laughing.

I just glared at her. Now I feel like a fucking idiot.


My dad finally came home later in the week. Kagome and I were with the baby in the kitchen when we saw him.

"I'm back." He smiled as he walked in.

"Hey dad." I turned away from my phone to speak. "Glad you're back."

"It is good to see you." He turned to Kagome and Kaiya.

"How are my family's newest additions?" He walked over with his arms out.

Kagome handed him the baby. "We are doing good. She is just getting bigger every day."

Before my dad could respond Kaiya was squirming and crying. He handed her back to Kagome and she calmed down. My dad laughed, looking at me and then he said, "She reminds me of you, Inuyasha. You rarely let me hold you without throwing a fit."

I rolled my eyes. "Well obviously Kaiya, like me, can't recognize someone who's never there."

"Inuyasha." Kagome gasped.

My father glared at me. "Watch your mouth, boy."

I smirked. "I'm just joking Dad." Not really. I love you, but you are kind of a stranger.

He gave me a quick nod. "Your mother?"

"She's taking a nap."

My father smiled at the girls before leaving the kitchen.

When he was gone Kagome turned to me, glaring. "Inuyasha!"

"What?" I smirked.

"You just ruined what could have been a really nice family moment." She paced the floor, her cheeks flushed.

I bit my lip and walked up to her, taking hold of her hips. "I love how you look when you get angry. It reminds me of how you look when I fuck you." I tightened my grip on her hips, squeezing them quickly before hurrying out of the room.

"Ugh, Inuyasha!"

Later that night the whole family sat down at the table for dinner. Sesshomaru and Rin were also there with Tomaru.

Rin was her usual chatty self. "It's so nice to finally have you back, isn't that right Sesshomaru?"

My brother nodded his head. "It is." Ha he's so whipped.

"Inuyasha." Kagome looked over at me. Before dinner she bitched at me some more about what I said to my dad in the Kitchen.

I sighed. "I agree." I looked over at Kagome who gave me a mean look. "And I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't mean it." Great, am I whipped too?

"Thank you." My father answered. "It is a gift that we can all be here with each other today."

Pretty much everyone at the table nodded to that and continued to eat. The occasional noise from the babies stood out.

After most of the course was done my mom spoke up.

"I can't wait any longer." She frowned. "I would just like to let you all know that tomorrow morning I have an appointment to get an MRI."

A what? I just stared blankly. What the hell is that?

My mom smiled at me. "If you are wondering, that's like getting an X-ray, but for my brain."

Kagome was the first to speak. "Is something wrong?"

Yeah, why would she need that for?

"Well I don't know yet."

The room was quiet; we waited for her to continue.

"It is probably nothing. I just have been having such bad migraines lately, horrible." She sighed. "I waited for your father to come home so I could ask his opinion." She looked down.

My father was the one to speak. "Yes, and I decided it is best to figure out what is going on with your mother so we can fix the problem before it gets any worse."

Rin paled a bit at first but was regaining her color. "So you're saying that this is just to make sure nothing is wrong, right?"

My mother nodded. "Correct Rin. We shouldn't be worried."

The rest of the time was quiet. Everyone in deep thought. I looked at my daughter. She was smiling at Kagome. When did life become so stressful?

After I finished eating I excused myself from the table. "Kagome, I'll take Kaiya for you."

She agreed and I bounced her as we walked to my room. I went over to the bed and lied down on my back, holding her on my chest.

"Oh Kaiya."

She lifted her head towards the sound of my voice and giggled.

I let out a breath. "I love you."

She didn't say it back, obviously. Instead she just looked all over my face. Then she reached for my lips.

I smiled. She is so fucking cute.

We stayed there. Just laying together and her trying to grab my face. Great father daughter bonding time until I heard a popping noise.

A couple seconds later the smell came.

I sat up, holding her away. "Ewe!" I looked over at her. "Was that a fart or did you just shit?"

I pulled her close and lifted up the back of her diaper to find my answer.

"Ugh, Kaiya, you shit." I scrunched up my nose at the smell. "Time to find your mom."

I put the baby down next to me and grabbed my cell out of my pocket. Then I went to my messages to text Kagome.

Come to my room ASAP

Send.

I locked the screen and stood up to unlock my door.

"Don't worry, mommy will be here soon."

Just as I hoped, Kagome was speed walking over as I opened my door.

"Inuyasha!" she looks flustered. "You texted me, is everything okay?"

"No," I shook my head, "your daughter took a huge, nasty shit."

She stopped in her tracks and glared. "You sent me a text message and made me hurry up here because Kaiya pooped?"

"Mhmm."

"You jerk! I thought it was an emergency!" She had her hands in fists at her waist.

"I never said it was an emergency."

"Whatever." She let out a breath. "Change her diaper."

I don't want to. "You do it Kagome, you're her mom."

"And you're her dad."

"Come on Kagome I don't want to."

She stepped back. "What, you think I do?"

"I know you don't" I just don't want to even more. This should work… "It's just," I pouted, "you do it so much better than me. I think Kaiya likes it better when you do it."

Kagome sighed. "Fine, but watch me so you can see exactly how I do it for next time."

She walked past me and into the bedroom. I followed behind smiling. I knew it would work.


A few days later my dad called everyone into the family room. When Kagome and I walked in, I saw Sesshomaru and Rin there as well.

My parents were sitting on a couch and my mom didn't look up from her hands.

I got this bad feeling crawling up my spine. "Mom?"

She just shook her head, her shoulders shaking. She was crying! "Mom!" I ran over to her and got on my knees. She turned her head away from me.

What the fuck? I looked at my dad. "Dad?"

Something isn't right. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. "Inuyasha," he looked upset, "you should sit down next to Kagome."

I looked behind me and saw Kagome sitting on the loveseat. She looked nervous. Whatever this is, I want her next to me. I did as my father said and moved to sit behind her.

"I don't know how to say this, and it pains me deeply to do so." Dad wrapped an arm around mom. "Izayoi," he paused, "your mother…"

I'd never seen my dad unable to speak. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. What the fuck is wrong?

My mom finally looked up, her eyes were bloodshot, and her cheeks were red and tear stained. "You guys, I have cancer."
