Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha. I just own this story
A/N: Here's chapter 2, enjoy. Also the kappa is an OC of my friend's I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier.
Kagome's p.o.v.:
No, no, no, I can't be pregnant I mean I'm only 20 years old, I'm not ready for a baby especially a baby with demon blood in them. I was pacing the floor of my bedroom, leaving a well-worn track in the carpet. I was so full of nerves about what I was suppose to do. I'd need to tell my family and friends and Inuyasha of course. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, first mom then everybody else. I heard the door open and my mom shouting, "Kagome we're home." I walked down stairs to see mom and grandpa putting groceries away.
"Mom, can I talk to you privately for a minute?" she looked up at me from putting the milk in fridge. "Yes, dear" she walked with Kagome into her bedroom as she closed the door behind her, "what did you want to talk about Kagome?"I sat on me bed and she sat next to me. "Mom I'm pregnant", I whispered so low that she had to lean in to hear. "Kagome is Inuyasha the father?", I looked away not wanting to say the next sentence. "I don't know if he is or if it is another guy named Kouga." I looked to my mother see how she saw me, if see saw as a skank or not. To my surprise I saw understanding in her eyes.
My mother put her arms around me in a hug, "It will be okay, I will love this grandchild no matter what. And it doesn't matter who the father is I'm sure you'll love this baby too." Tears of relief fell down my cheeks as I hugged my mom, "thank you so much." I pulled away from mom and wiped my tears from my face. We stood up from my bed and walked down stairs to finish putting groceries.
I went to bed that night and had the most restful night sleep I've gotten in weeks. The next morning I packed up my stuff to head back to the feudal era. Then I when down stairs for breakfast, "good morning mom, grandpa." I sat down at the table next to grandpa, "are you already to go to back to the warring states era my dear." I started to eat my eggs before I answered, "yes grandpa I am it will be nice to get back to Inuyasha." We ate breakfast and had a nice conversation along with it.
When it was time to go, mom walked me toward the shrine all the way inside. "It will be okay sweet heart, I think you'll make a great mother." I gave mom a big hug and almost refused to let go. "I just hope Inuyasha is the father, I really don't know what I'll do if Kouga is." I let go of her, and walked down the steps to hop in the well. I fell through the well into the time vortex that led me back to the warring states era. I made it back to the other side and climbed out. I walked back to the village feeling kind of uneasy about how to tell Inuyasha the big news.
I made it back to the village in a few minutes, going into the hut. Inuyasha wasn't at home just yet, so I put my things away and waited for him. I was cooking dinner when he came home, he came up behind me and he wrap his hands around me. "I'm glad you're back Kagome I missed you like crazy." I snuggled into him, "I'm glad to be back I missed you too." We sat down and ate dinner there was a silence but a good one. "Uh, Inuyasha I have to tell you something." He looked up at me from his noddles, "I'm pregnant." His mouth fell open, some noddles fell back into his bowl. I tried not to laugh at the scene before me but this was a very serious moment. He wiped his mouth then he asked, "you're what?" I looked right into his eyes, "I said I'm pregnant."
His eyes got wide, "I'm gonna be a father? I can't believe it, this is great! I kind of always wanted to be a father." He came to my side and gave me a hug. He loosened his grip, "I shouldn't be holding you too tight, huh?" I giggled and hugged him back, "you can give me big hugs if you want to." He went back to eating his noddles, slurping as he did, I giggled again "hopefully it won't have your table manners." He gave me a dirty look then he stopped his slurping and we went back to eating.
In the days that followed Inuyasha started building a small extension for the baby's room. When ever I saw him working so hard on the room, I would feel bad for not knowing who the baby's father was. But I would force a smile for him so he wouldn't see my frown. I have been praying to every deity I could think of so that Inuyasha would be the father. I never told him about being with Kouga because I know it would hurt him more, like the saying goes what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right, right?
It kind of hurt without my mom here because I know how much she would have like to be with me during my pregnancy. But I had Sango, Keade, and Rin here, they were a big help to me. I really appreciated Sango's parenting advice since she had three of of her own. And Inuyasha was very attentive to me, always bringing me things and asking me if I needed anything. All of that attention made me feel worse.
For months Inuyasha always wanted to know about the baby; how's it doing,is it happy, will it like him?When he felt the baby kick for the first time he just had this look of awe on his face. When I was ready to give birth after nine months Keade and Rin were there to act as midwives for me. Almost ten hours of labor with Inuyasha by my side holding my hand, of course there were times I was nearly crushing his. But after all that time of pushing and cursing we welcomed a healthy seven pound baby boy into the world. He had fresh born red skin, short black hair, dog ears, and when he opened his eyes he had my blue eyes.
As I watched Inuyasha hold him for the first time. I told him the baby's name, " Daitaro." he smiled at that, "it means great first born son." He smirked, " course he's great he's my kid after all." I rolled my eyes. " Yeah that's it; it's not like I had anything to do with it." he laughed at me. I loved the scene in front of me, my husband holding my sweet little boy. I wished I had a camera to take a picture. I was tired after my busy day, so I fell asleep pretty quick.
I woke up in the middle of the night, expecting to hear Daitaro crying. When I didn't hear him, I got up as fast as I could, thinking something was wrong with him. I got to his room in record time, to see Inuyasha sitting down with Daitaro in his arms; rocking him back and forth. The sweetness of the moment was almost too much for me. I walked into the room, "hey there, you could have woke me up" I sat down next him, " nah, you were pretty out of it besides I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my son." I brushed off my guilt at his use of the words my son. We stayed up together watching Daitaro as he slept. We both would watch as he moved in his sleep, he would make little noises I thought it was adorable. " He sounds like he's fighting some big demons in his dreams and he sounds like he's winning, that's my boy." Inuyasha all but gloated at the baby's dream fighting abilities. I reached out to brush the baby's hair out of his face, his skin had evened out into a tone like my own. " We'll have to wait a long time before he's ready to fight any real demons, a very long time, right?" Inuyasha gave a dry laugh, "he'll be needing a lot of training before then. But when he's strong enough he'll the best fighter around, well next to me of course." I tried to keep my snicker quiet but I didn't do a very good job. "What's all that about?" I waved my hand away, "nothing at all Inuyasha, nothing." After a while we when to bed, making sure Daitaro was all right before we did though. I was starting to think he really was Inuyasha's. I just hoped I was right.
Two months went by before things started to change, it wasn't from Inuyasha though; it was from the villagers whispering about my baby. How he didn't look a thing like Inuyasha and things like that. I was starting to get worried now, if Inuyasha noticed their gossip I don't know what I'll do. I took Daitaro back home because I was sick of all their talk and stares. Inuyasha wasn't home yet so I settled him into his bed for nap and waited.
He came home a few hours later with a sour look on his face. He moved past me into Daitaro room, staring at him with that same look on his face. I walked into the room right behind him, "Is it true, is he not mine? I look at his ears and I don't see mine I see a wolf's ears. I see a wolf demon when I look at his face now, so is it true? Am I the father?" he asked in a low voice.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, "no Kouga is" I squeaked out; he spun around, his claws sharpened, his fangs had grown, and his eyes were now a blood red. His demon side had shown up, he zipped right up to me grabbing me by the arms. Tears were running down my face he had tighten his grip, " YOU FUCKED THAT BASTARD!" he bellowed. I was whimpering, "you're hurting me please let go" I tried squirming away from him. Daitaro had woken up from all the yelling, Inuyasha heard him he turned toward Daitaro, "shut up ya little bastard" he seethed at him. "Don't you dare call him that!" I screamed. "So you care about the wolf spawn more than me and maybe you care more about the wolf more than me, huh?" he said. I was shaking very badly, "I love you and only you" he scoffed at me, "If you loved me you wouldn't have fuck him, now would you?" I whispered out, "It was a mistake" with his grip tight he pushed me into the wall, than ran out the door; to confront Kouga I would guess. I fell to my knees crying along with Daitaro.
I wiped my tears away, stood up and picked up Daitaro and went outside to Juliet's pasture. In the following months Juliet's powers had increased to include the ability to fly complete with white wings.
"Juliet, I need you to fly us to where Inuyasha is, can you do that?" I asked, she gave me a look that said 'of course I can hop on'. I hopped on to her back and she flew us toward Kouga's territory. It was only minutes but it felt like forever, soon two figures fighting came into view.
We landed I saw Inuyasha beating the crap out of Kouga. He was on the ground as Inuyasha kicked him hard in the stomach, Kouga spit up blood. "Inuyasha please stop!" I yelled as I ran over, he looked at me. Kouga shakily stood up, wiping his mouth of blood, "Is that him?" he asked through a swollen jaw. Juliet walked over to us, she nuzzled Inuyasha's hand; he looked at her, his rage disappeared. "Thanks" he whispered petting her head.
"They need to know each other, Inuyasha" I said as I held Daitaro out to Kouga so he could hold him. He gently held him in his arms, I looked to Inuyasha taking hold of his hand, he still looked hurt as he should be. "Maybe we could talk about joint custody okay, Kouga?" I touched his arm. He looked at me in question, "joint what?" I glanced at Daitaro who had his eyes right on Kouga. "It means that we both take care of him and you can spend time with him too." He had a smile on his face, "I really can I want to be in his life Kagome, I really do." I moved my hand away "that's good."
Inuyasha and I will have to have a long talk later. And hopefully we'll be able to move on from this with our marriage intact. I'll need to earn his trust back for however long it takes. Kouga and I'll need to talk to about Daitaro hopefully we can all work this out, for everyone sake we can.
To be continued...
