A/N: Sorry it's been so long, I forgot about this story, I'm writing two other fics, one is for DBZ one is for FFVII and I just put this one in the back of my mind. Thanks for the reviews!

Miroku stood with his mouth agape. He could not believe what he just heard from InuYasha.
"Are, you sure?" he asked quietly.
"Yes I'm sure, come on you lecher, I'm a half-dog demon! I can smell things!" The silver haired man exclaimed, flailing his arms around in the air.
"Sorry, sorry." Miroku said. He was still in slight shock from the news he just heard. "So, I'm gonna be a daddy."
"Not if she can help it." InuYasha muttered, "Her scent is very wary of a lot of things. She doesn't really trust you, you know that right?"
Miroku gave the hanoyu a glare before turning around on his heel. He began to make his way toward Kaede's hut, and was going to tell Sango the news. However, halfway there, he became indecisive,
'What if she doesn't take the news lightly? What if InuYasha's right? What if she just runs away? What if she figures out that I've been lying to her this entire time?' his thoughts clouded his mind so much that he didn't realize that he had already made it to the hut.
"Miroku?" Sango asked quietly. Her gaze was upon him very heavily. "Are you okay? Would you like for me to get you something to drink?"
"I'm fine, it's just, I have something to tell you." he said.
Sango blinked in reply.
"I just had a talk with InuYasha, and he said," he paused. "He said that you're pregnant with my child."
"Are you serious?" Sango asked. She felt her stomach toss and turn in knots. "So, what does this mean…for us?"
"Whatever you want it to be." he whispered. He gave her a soft peck on the cheek before turning the other way. "If you want, I'll leave you to be, but just remember Sango…you can trust me."
Sango's ears perked up. She couldn't believe what she just heard. 'He sounds so…vulnerable.' she thought as she ran her fingers idly through her hair. 'This is our child, and I could not bear leaving this baby without a child for its life.'
"Miroku." she whispered. He looked her way quietly. "I need you in my life for this child."
Miroku stood up and grabbed her in his arms. He smiled with joy as he felt the curve of her hips that were carrying the weight of their unborn child.
"Thank you." he murmured quietly.
"I'm going to go help Kagome, she said that she was in the town shopping for goods." Sango said as she pulled herself away from the monk.
"Yes, of course." he sighed. "Just, don't overload on the supplies, I don't want you carrying anything too heavy now."
Sango rolled her eyes and gave him a peck on the lips before leaving the hut. She skipped merrily down the way to the village as thoughts of her and Miroku came to her mind.
'He's so honest.' she thought with a smile. Kagome came into view and she waved at her to catch her attention.
"Sango! Come over here, there's some fresh apples!" Kagome exclaimed. Sango eagerly ran over to the girl from another world, and saw the apples. "Well, don't you look chipper"
Sango smiled in reply.
The two young women walked throughout the bazaar in the village and found all of the goods that they needed. Sango only carried the cloths and a few baking goods, while Kagome was left to carry the rest of them.
"Goodness, Sango! Do you think you could help me?" Kagome asked, struggling to hold one of her baskets. "You're usually the one who carries all of this; I'm not used to this!"
Sango took one of the baskets out of her hand and smiled apologetically.
"Something is up Sango, you're too happy." Kagome eyeballed the raven-haired woman and looked her down. "Did you meet some man in that last village?"
"Kagome!" Sango exclaimed.
"Okay, if that's not the case, then surely you and Miroku…?" Kagome trailed off. Sango's eyes drifted from Kagome's sight. "You didn't? Tell me you didn't!"
"I did."
"Why?" Kagome screeched. "Have you not noticed that Miroku has been asking every other woman to bare his children since you have met him? He's just using you Sango!"
"No he's not! He said that I could trust him."
"Don't believe him Sango, please, he's lying to you."
Sango threw the baskets of goods down on the dirt. Her eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head at Kagome.
"You're wrong Kagome." she stated. "You just have to be."
And with that said, she ran out of the village.
