Chapter Two

Baby

Sango woke, her throat burning slightly as she rubbed her eyes. What time was it? She didn't know. She felt miserable. Last night she had tried to drown herself. Was she dead? Death wasn't supposed to hurt this much. She looked over. "Sesshomaru?" She asked, looking at him as he stared at her. "What are you doing here?"

"You're at my house Sango. The better question is why you walked into a lake last night, trying to kill yourself. You have a baby inside of you Sango. Just because Miroku is a moron does not mean you should commit suicide." The tears began to sting behind her eyes as a few fell.

"Sesshomaru, I am not who you think I am. I'm not strong. Miroku used me, and I fell for it. What happened? I don't even know why I slept with him. I honestly thought he loved me. I am so stupid."

"He is a moron. I will take care of you, Sango. You are like my sister."

Only she wasn't, not that she ever needed to know that from him. "Thank you Sesshomaru." She whispered, brushing the tears away.

"We must get ready. I made an appointment for you."

"Oh… thanks." She looked down, realized she wasn't in her clothes and blushed. "Um… who changed me?"

"Kagura."

"Oh. Tell her thanks."

"My sister is more than happy to have someone to take care of. Ever since Kanna moved away, she's wanted a new 'sister' herself."

"Oh. Um."

"I'll have her bring you clothes."

As if on cue, Kagura rushed in, clutching a few bags. Her sunglasses were perched on her nose and a grin was plastered on her red colored lips. "You're awake! Sango, dear, you mustn't go trying to kill yourself over a boy! Especially a TEENAGE boy. You are worth someone better. Besides beautiful, you have me, and now Sesshy to help you with your child." She dropped her bags and began to go through them. "Now dear, I bought you so many things. I think purple would be your color! Maybe pink?" with that, Sesshomaru excused himself and Kagura helped Sango dress.

"Thank you." Sango said, after she was dressed in a beautiful blue sundress. Flowers ran across the hem and around the neckline.

Kagura just smiled before a frown marred her features. "Sango, Sesshomaru was extremely worried for you. You should have seem him when he brought you in. It was like he was a ghost. His features were very grim, and he commanded I put you in a bath and change you and keep you warm, although he kicked me out of the room last night and only had me come in to dry your hair. He watched you all night."

"That was nice of him." Sango said off-handedly as something welled inside her. "He is just like a big brother to me. He is so nice to me all the time. He truly is my best friend."

"Well good!" Kagura chuckled. "Now let us depart on a journey so extreme, to find out how far along you are!"

"I'm guessing about three months." Sango murmured. "It's been a long while since that night."

"Well let us find out! To the doctor's office!"

Sesshomaru and Kagura waited in the waiting room as Sango was escorted back. Moments later, a nurse came out and asked both of them to come into the room. Sango was lying flat on a bed, with goo covering her stomach as she stared at the screen beside her. A heartbeat could be heard from the monitor and Sango was smiling and crying all at once. "Oh Sango!" Kagura said as she rushed forward and grabbed Sango's hand. "How far along is she?"

"About three and a half months. The next ultrasound should be clearer. I'm going to write you a prescription for prenatal vitamins. You need to take them once a day, and they should be taken around the same time every day. Miss Tai? At the next ultrasound or the one after we may be able to see the gender. It'll be a month until your next appointment." As the doctor wiped the goo from Sango's stomach, Kagura smiled.

"It's so cute!" Kagura gushed as she stared at the photos of Sango's womb. "I hope it looks just like you. Ohhh if it's a girl, we can buy her so many pink clothes!"

"If it is a girl what are you going to name it?" Sesshomaru asked. Sango bit her lip. "And if it is a boy what are you going to name it?"

"Um… I'm not sure. It's still too early to really name it."

"Hn."

"Well, I for one, think you are going to be an amazing mother!"

"I hope so." Sango murmured, as she drank her tea slowly. The bell to the café rang and as she looked up, she saw Miroku. She looked down and away, to Sesshomaru who looked at Miroku.

"Check now." Kagura growled, wrapping her arm around Sango. Not too many things made Kagura mad, but Miroku certainly had the power. "Everything will be okay sweetie." She cooed to Sango. The check came by, but not before Miroku saw them and began to approach. Kagura stood up and shoved him. "Listen here bub. Don't come near Sango. Ever again. Or you will find out what it is like to be a woman."

As the ushered Sango out, she heard Miroku whisper. "But it's my baby…" It played in Sango's mind all the way to Sesshomaru's house. Over, and over it repeated. It was his child, but with all the partying he did, and all the sleeping around… was he really going to be a good father?

What was she supposed to do?
