Chapter 7—the Big News

Disclaimer: I don't Inuyasha but I do own the story they are presented in.

Kagome sat down on the couch in front of Inuyasha crying, while he just stood there wide-eyed but with a smile on his face. 'Yes, she's pregnant. I'm so happy, but why is she crying" Inuyasha thought to himself. Inuyasha came out of his thoughts and walked towards Kagome sat on the couch and gave her a hug and asked "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Kagome just looked at him and said nothing. "Do you think I'm mad at you?" he asked. Kagome just nodded. "Oh kags, I'm not mad at you, I'm quite the opposite. I'm excited you're pregnant. I've always wanted pups. And I'm even more happy because you're the one having them." Inuyasha said with a smile on his face. "Are you sure you're not mad?" Kagome asked. "I'm positive" he replied. So Inuyasha put his index finger and thumb on Kagome's chin and lifted her head to meet his and said "Kagome, I love you with all my and I'm glad that you are the one carrying my…I mean our child." then kissed.

Kagome broke from the kiss and said "Thank you Inuyasha. I needed to hear that. If it's ok with you I'm going to go in my room for a little bit." So she got up and headed towards her room. She closed the door and sat on her bed and started looking at the book Kaede gave her.

It was now about 5:30pm and Kagome was still reading the book. She came to a chapter that seemed to really intrigue her. It read… When a human mates with a demon, they mate for life. Most of the time the male will try to or end up getting their mate pregnant. When the human becomes impregnated, she will experience the same symptoms as if she were carrying a human child. There are a couple of differences though. The female will become more aroused and want to have sex constantly. The other difference is that instead of carrying the child for nine months she will only have to carry it for one month. Unlike human babies, demon babies grow faster in the womb. Since the father has demon blood pulsing through his veins and the mother is human the child will be half human and half demon.

As Kagome got done reading the chapter she heard Inuyasha calling for her for dinner. So she grabbed a bookmark and placed and placed it on the page to save it and closed the book. She opened the door and walked towards Inuyasha and said "I'm here. So what are we having for dinner?" "Well I thought that tonight we would have your favorite. Spaghetti with mashed potatoes and for desert we have cheesecake." Inuyasha said with a smile. "Oh Inuyasha thank you" Kagome said cheerfully, loving the fact that he made her favorite entrée.

Inuyasha placed the food on the table and pulled out Kagome's chair so she could sit down. Kagome and Inuyasha ate their dinner with some conversation in between. When Kagome had finished her dinner, Inuyasha started talking again. "Kagome, I know you have agreed to be my mate for life and that we've mated, but there is one more question I must ask." "What is it?" Kagome asked. So Inuyasha got out of his chair and kneeled in front of Kagome and said "Kagome, do you remember when we first met how we talked about marriage and you said how you always wanted a beautiful wedding," Kagome just nodded. "Well I know you how important it is to you, which means it's important to me, too. What I'm trying to say is…" Inuyasha just paused for a sec then continued "Kagome… will you marry me?" Inuyasha asked as he held the ring in front of her. Kagome gasped when she saw the ring. It was gorgeous. "Yes" Kagome answered. Once again all Inuyasha could do was grin. So he put the ring on her finger and kissed her.

Kagome was so happy that she immediately broke from the kiss and said "I have to call Sango and my mom to tell them the news." So she kissed him on the lips then went in her room and got her cell phone and dialed Sango first. "Hello" Sango answered. "Hey Sango, I've got some great news." Kagome said excitedly. "What?" Sango asked. "Do you remember that night when Inuyasha caught Kikyo?" Kagome asked. "Yeah" Sango answered. "Well, I went home and Inuyasha was passed out on the couch. I started crying because I thought he was dead. All of a sudden I found myself kissing him. Then I went to go get a shower but couldn't shut the door. The next thing I know Inuyasha was behind me. I turned around and…" Kagome was cut off. "Oh my gosh Kagome. Are you telling me you two had sex?" Sango asked. "Basically yes. But that's not the only news." Kagome said. "Well what is it? Tell me" Sango said with anticipation in her voice. "That night he asked me to be his mate." Kagome said. "Really that's great." Sango replied. "But that's not it. Inuyasha just proposed to me. And there's one more bit of news." Kagome said. "Well what is it?" Sango asked. "I'm pregnant" Kagome answered. "Oh Kagome, I'm so happy for you." Sango congratulated. "Thanks Sango. And I wanted you to be the godmother." Kagome said. "Of course." Sango replied. "Sango when are you and Miroku going to get married? You two have been dating for about 5 years now." Kagome said. "I know I'm waiting for him to propose. I'll bring it up tonight during dinner." Sango replied. "Well I got to go. I have to call my mom and let her know all the news, but I'll see you at work tomorrow." Kagome told her best friend. "Ok see you tomorrow. Bye" Sango said. "Bye" Kagome replied and hung up her cell then called her mom and told her the news.

Meanwhile Inuyasha was telling Miroku the news. "Guess what Miroku" Inuyasha said. "What?" Miroku asked. "One: I made Kagome my mate. Two: I proposed to her and she said yes. And three: she's pregnant." Inuyasha told Miroku. "I knew you two would eventually end up together I mean she's liked you since my graduation party ten years ago. But now you two are mated and having a child. Does Sesshomaru know?" Miroku asked. "Probably. You know Sesshomaru always finds out everything. I'm just waiting to hear from him." Inuyasha said sarcastically. Miroku just laughed. "So when are you going to propose to Sango?" Inuyasha asked. "Tonight at dinner. I still have to get the ring." Miroku responded. All of a sudden a beep came through Inuyasha's cell phone. Inuyasha looked to see who was calling. "Miroku I go to go. Sesshomaru's calling and I'm sure he wants to talk now." Inuyasha said. "Ok. I'll talk to you later. Bye" Miroku said. "Bye" Inuyasha replied and clicked over to the other line.
