OK. I got a ton of e-mails (and a few reviews) asking me to write a next chapter, so here it is. This skips the pregnancy and goes straight to the hospital.
A little over seven months later Inuyasha stood in a hospital holding a bundle wrapped in pink. Little Sore was seven pounds four ounces, 19 inches long and barely three hours old. She had a thatch of Kagome's jet-black hair and Inuyasha's golden eyes. The half demon gently touched the top of his daughters head and thanked the gods once again that hair was all on her head. As Inuyasha rocked the sleeping infant, he glanced at her sleeping mother, his wife.
Sora's birth had been difficult for Kagome. All demon/human births, no matter how little demon blood was involved, were hard. Kagome was now pumped full of painkillers and sleeping peacefully at last. The exhausted woman had stayed awake long enough to finish the birth and feed the baby before she passed out. Inuyasha now walked slowly back and forth in the private room crooning to his newborn daughter. He knew full and well that he could put the sleeping infant in the basinet, but he'd rather hold the precious bundle.
Kagome opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times to clear her blurry vision. She turned her head to see Inuyasha asleep in a chair leaning over the basinet. The tired young woman smiled weakly as she looked over her family. Tears formed in her eyes, as she looked closer to notice her husband's hand resting in the basinet with Sora's little fist gripping his finger. Kagome sniffed softly and tried to get her raging emotions under control, but to no avail. She continued to sniff as she looked around for tissues to wipe away the tears now rolling down her face. The woman had just given up and had begun to swipe at her cheeks with her hands when a clawed hand holding a tissue came into her blurry view. Kagome looked up at her husband and burst into uncontrollable sobs.
Inuyasha's heart clenched painfully when Kagome looked up at him. Tears were streaming down her face and her chin and lower lip were quivering. When she started to cry harder he sat on the bed next to her and hugged her to him. After her sobs slowed, then finally stopped, Inuyasha pulled away and wiped Kagome's tears away before cradling her again. He ran his fingers through her hair until she fell asleep against him. That's how their best friends found them an hour later, Kagome asleep on Inuyasha's chest and the half demon running his hand up and down her arm.
Inuyasha looked up to see Sango and Miroku enter the room. He smiled at the young couple and gently moved Kagome off him. Inuyasha stood and stretched, all the while watching his sleeping wife to see if she woke up. When she didn't Inuyasha walked out into the hall, motioning his friends to follow. Once the three where outside the room, Sango hugged the half demon and grinned. While Inuyasha was being crushed, Miroku clapped his friend on the back and smiled broadly.
"Congratulations!" "How's the baby?" " Is it a boy or a girl?" "Where is she… or he?" "Is Kagome gonna be OK?"
"Whoa whoa!!" Inuyasha untangled himself and backed away, holding his hands up in a gesture of surrender.
"Slow down!"
Sango and Miroku grinned and repeated the questions.
" It's a girl, her name is Sora. She was taken to the nursery about 30 minutes ago, and we can go see her now. Kagome is gonna be fine, she just needs rest."
"We can see the baby? Let's go!"
Inuyasha grinned and turned to lead the way down the halls to the nursery.
Inuyasha stood off to the side as his friends 'awed' over his newborn daughter. He glowed with fatherly pride when they commented that she was the cutest baby in the nursery. After Sango and Miroku had had their fill of the baby, he took them back to the room to see if Kagome was awake. She was.
Kagome looked up eagerly when the door opened. Inuyasha strolled in, leading Miroku and Sango. The latter instantly rushed to Kagome's side and hugged her gently. Miroku came over and patted her shoulder as he beamed down at her. Inuyasha leaned against the wall looking smug and content. Kagome looked at him over her friend's shoulder. She smiled happily, all the love she felt for him filling her gaze. Inuyasha winked and smiled back.
Now this is perfect, Kagome thought happily. Inuyasha, me… and now the baby. Yeah… it'll be hard, but Inuyasha will always be there for me. He wouldn't let anything bad happen. And if worst comes to worst, I know he'll still love me. That's enough for me.
There! Are you people happy now? Nah just kidding, It's been fun planning this. Sorry I couldn't think of more.
