AN: It's been a month since the last update... *blushes* sorry! Thank you all for the reviews from the bottom of my heart! Also, I went back on some of the chapters and made some tiny changes. Spelling mistakes I caught and even some storyline problems that I hope nobody else noticed(Oops). No big changes that would make you need to reread anything though!

I moved my things from the driveway to the front stoop and quickly put my key in the door. I unlocked it and turned the knob, pushing the door open.

I had the biggest grin on my face as I walked into the house. I turned on the light and took everything inside. The house was quiet, and the lights downstairs were all off. I pulled out my phone to check the time. It was almost 8pm.

I didn't realize how late it would be when I got here. After getting dropped off from work today, then doing chores, packing, and paper work I should have realized how long it would take to get here. Oh well.

"Kagome?" I called out, as I lifted my things, getting ready to take them to my room. As I walked up the stairs I had no answer.

I left my things at the top of the stairs and went straight to her bedroom. I opened the door and saw my little angel sitting in her princess chair, watching something on the television. She was wearing her footie pajamas and never looked more adorable.

"Kaiya!" I smiled and walked over to her.

She turned her head and looked at me, her mouth curved into a smile and she reached her arms out towards me. I scooped her up and just held her tight against me.

I pulled my head back and gave her about ten kisses or so, all over her face. She giggled but kissed me back.

"I love you so much." I told her, as I put her back on her kiddie couch. I looked around the room with my hands on my hips. "So where is your mom?"

"Mama."

I smiled, looking down at her. "Where's mommy?"

She giggled at me and stood up on wobbly legs. Then she ran over to Kagome's bathroom door, reaching for the handle.

"Kaiya," I laughed at her antics, "you're not tall enough to open the door." As I went to move the girl, I heard running water.

Ah, so she's in the shower. I pictured her in my head and smiled. My body started to warm up, when was the last time Kagome and I even did anything? I haven't even seen her naked in so damn long.

I picked Kaiya up and took her across the room, putting her down on her little pink couch.

"Here," I said, handing her a nearby doll. She took it from my hands and walked over to a pile of other dolls that she had.

I took a moment to appreciate her short attention span, as I walked over to Kagome's bathroom door, by myself.

I could feel the excitement bubbling up in my stomach again. I was excited for many things now. Carefully, I pushed the door open and stepped in. I didn't want Kaiya to run over here.

The room was foggy and I could see Kagome's silhouette through the shower curtain. A grin formed on my face as I watched her bathe. She had the perfect figure. Long legs, a small waist, and curves in all the right places.

I couldn't take it anymore; I cleared my throat to let her know I was there.

I watched her hands move away from her head as she froze. For a couple seconds she just stood there, not moving. Then I realized that maybe this wasn't the best way to let her know that I was back home.

"Kagome." I said her name quietly; I didn't want to scare her too much. Her head angled towards me, but she still made no move to open the curtain.

I walked up to the shower and pulled the curtain back with a grin. "Hey babe."

I should have seen it coming.

My ears were ringing from her terrified scream. Before I could stop her, she grabbed the shower head and brought it down on my face as hard as she could. For a split second I saw black and a flash of light.

"Fuck!" I said stepping back. The damn thing hurt like hell and the water pouring out of it was now all over myself and the floor. Of course, I slipped and fell back on my ass. Even more luck, I slammed the back of my head onto the top of the sink. Apparently I hit my head pretty hard too, because the force put me to sleep.

…

I groaned, feeling the pounding of a headache. My eyes were closed and I slowly lifted them about half way open, the light was blinding and bright.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled, taking in my surroundings. I was soaked, sitting on the floor against the counter in Kagome's bathroom.

"Inuyasha." Kagome timidly said my name.

I tilted my head to the right to find her crouched down next to me. Her eyes were wide open and she had a concerned look on her face. Her hair was dripping water, and she had a towel wrapped around her body. One hand clutching it against her, the other hand on my shoulder.

I grimaced at sharp pain coming from my skull. Then I remembered. She hit me!

I glared at her. "What the fuck, Kagome?"

Her face went from that of a concerned and loving wife to that of a pissed off bitch. She knew exactly what I was upset about.

"Don't what the fuck Kagome, me!" she snapped, "What the hell are you doing here? I have never been so scared in my life, Inuyasha! You don't just go sneaking into people's houses and scaring them in the shower! I thought you were a murderer!"

I rolled my eyes. "It's not sneaking in if I live here too. And you didn't have to hit me." I reached my arm up and felt the slowly swelling bump on the back of my head.

Now Kagome rolled her eyes at me as she stood up. "You live at the halfway house, so of course I'm not going to be expecting anyone to come in here during my showers. And I hit you out of self defense."

"Self defense? I didn't even do anything!" Slowly I lifted myself back up to standing. I felt a little dizzy.

"Well that's because I didn't give you the opportunity too. I didn't know it was you, I had to think fast, and I did it on impulse."

I shook my head and followed her out of the bathroom as she started to get changed. Kaiya was on the bed with some of her dolls and totally oblivious to our noise.

Once Kagome finished putting on her pajamas she closed the dresser drawer and looked at me. "I'm so confused. What are you even doing here?"

I got this feeling that Kagome would react like Sesshomaru, so before I started to explain I thought to use a little reverse psychology.

I moved to sit on the bed, pulling Kaiya in my lap. She made it even better, by turning into me and hugging me. I smirked as I cuddled with her. Maybe Kagome would see how great our little family is and want me to stay more than she wants me in the halfway house.

Kagome was leaning against her dresser, still waiting for an explanation. "Well?" she asked.

"I decided to come back home."

"Yash," her eyes widened, "why?"

"I did some thinking and I felt that it would be better for all of us if I came home."

"Wow," she slowly walked over to the bad and sat down on the edge, "I don't know what to say. I'm really shocked right now."

"Kagome, I can do this. I can be the man that you need, but not if I'm not here."

"That's not true; you were doing exactly what you needed to do by being away."

"I already accomplished everything I needed there." I started to feel offended. She should be glad I'm back. "What would me staying away longer do?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were ready before you left."

I nodded. "Okay and I get that. But who would know if I'm ready or not?"

"You would."

"Exactly. And I'm ready now."

She sighed. "I guess I'm just nervous."

I still held Kaiya and shifter her onto one arm so I could reach out and grab Kagome's hand with my free one. She watched me with a worried expression.

"Kagome," I said, as I pulled her towards me, "just give me this chance."

She didn't say anything but did let me pull her to my side. We both leaned back on her headboard and I let Kaiya climb in between us where she decided to lay down. The three of us cuddled silently. I could tell Kagome was feeling anxious and I wanted to calm her nerves.

She was running her hand across Kaiya's head absentmindedly. I watched her face while trying to figure out what to do and say. I knew she was concerned about me, and about if I can manage to be good to her and not fuck up anymore.

"Kagome," I took her hand in mine, "everything is going to be okay. I can do this, I believe in myself. So now here I am. Let's be happy about it instead of sad and shit."

She let out a breath.

I sat up in the bed, pulling away a bit and earning a whine from the baby. I smiled at both of my girls. I picked up the baby and grabbed all her toys off the Kagome's bed.

"I'll put Kaiya to sleep," I said walking out of the room, "you go downstairs, and put a movie on."

I didn't give her a chance to disagree as I left. I entered Kaiya's room, and put her in her crib. She stood up and leaned against the railing, while watching me put her toys away.

"Fuck," I mumbled to myself. I forgot to get her sippy cup. I went back to Kagome's room and smiled when I saw that it was empty. So she actually listened to me and was already downstairs? Sweet.

I turned on the light and searched around for a few minutes before I found the damn cup under the bed. I grabbed it and went back to Kaiya's room to leave it in the crib with her.

When I walked back in, Kaiya was sitting up against the corner of her crib, sleeping. I chuckled at her position. That didn't look to comfortable. I shifted her body down to a better position on the mattress and tucked her in.

She opened her eyes for a moment, just long enough to grab her sippy cup and hold it near her body. In a few seconds she seemed fast asleep already.

I leaned over and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you." I said as I watched her sleep. I waited for a couple minutes, gazing at her with a smile on my face before I decided to meet Kagome downstairs.

I turned off the light and closed the door until it was only cracked open. Then I walked down to the living room where I found Kagome looking through some movies.

"Did you pick one yet?" I asked, jumping over the back of the couch.

She gave me a look. "No, and don't jump on the furniture."

I rolled my eyes. Whatever.

"Here," Kagome turned around and held out two DVDs, "I narrowed it down, pick one."

I shook my head. "Your choice."

"Whatever." She smiled and pulled them back, studying the boxes intently.

After she got everything started and sat down on the couch next to me, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close.

"So," I breathed against her lips, "what did you pick?"

She gave me a peck on the lips before responding. "Knocked Up."

I laughed. "I do like that movie."

"Yeah." She laughed too. "It kind of reminds me of us."

Ha. "I guess." Actually yeah, I see the similarities.

The way we were positioned on the couch was that I was lying down but half sitting up with Kagome lying somewhat between my legs but on my torso as well. It wasn't the best for my upper back and neck; they were getting stiff minutes into the movie. It was okay though, I didn't pay much attention to the movie. I just watched Kagome watch it.

I'm surprised she didn't notice my staring, but if she did, she didn't say anything about it.

She was so pretty. I thought back on all the girls I'd been with and at the time she might not have been the hottest there was but now, she's beautiful.

Eventually Kagome managed to glance up.

"Hey," she narrowed her eyes, "why aren't you watching this?"

"I don't know." So I could stare at you. That sounds a little creepy; I'll keep it to myself.

"Well then why did you tell me to play a movie if you weren't even going to watch it with me?"

"I was," I defended, "I just got distracted." I just want to look at you now.

She stared at me, not understanding what I meant.

I bent my head forward and kissed her. She smiled against my lips and I took that as my cue to lift her body up closer to mine. As I brought her closer, she turned to straddle me.

I moved my hands from her arms to her shoulders. My left hand cupped her cheek while I moved the right to the back of her head. I gripped her hair just to press her even closer.

Her hands slid from my chest to my neck. My mouth was on fire and my blood was racing through my veins.

I could feel my hard on pressing against my jeans. She ground her hips against me, making me moan in her mouth.

"Kagome," I smirked, pushing my own hips up, "you're not trying to seduce me are you?"

She giggled and continued to kiss me. "Maybe."

...

Knocked Up is probably one of my favorite movies...if you have never seen it, watch it!
