Chapter 2 – The Big Truth

Since the mansion is nearby my house, and today isn't too cold out, we decided to walk over to my house for supper. All day today my stomach has been in knots, and I've barely been able to eat. I had to force myself to have some fruit during lunch as I didn't want to starve my baby.

Now that my mother's house is in sight, I feel like puking.

As we walked up the steps, I noticed our pace become slower. I can tell Inuyasha is just as nervous as I am.

We let ourselves in and we found my mother cooking in the kitchen. She's making spaghetti for us tonight, it smells so good!

When she noticed us walk in the door, she put down her spoon to greet us and give us hugs. My grandfather heard that we were here so he came in from the living room to greet us as well. Souta is out at soccer practice right now so he will be home shortly. Inuyasha and I decided to give my mom a hand in the kitchen so we weren't sitting there like useless ducks.

The two of us remained mostly silent. We couldn't think of anything to say, all that's on our mind is how everyone will react to the news we have for them. We decided it would be best to wait until after supper to announce it, that way we wouldn't be eating in awkward silence. Hopefully I'll be able to eat, my stomach is in knots.

There's two ways this can go. Either my mother and grandfather will be extremely angry, and will either try to push me into abortion or adoption so I can remain in school, or they will accept the fact that there's no turning back and they will embrace our little blessing. I hope it's the second scenario…

Souta soon arrived at home, of course he was happy to see us. Even though the two of us have had quite our differences we still love seeing each other.

"Dinner is ready!" my mother announced with a big smile on her face. I'm surprised she hasn't asked what's wrong yet. Usually she's really good with being able to tell if there's a problem.

We served ourselves and sat around the small table. There wasn't much conversation going on. Souta told us about how his soccer practice went, and my grandfather told us about how his doctor's appointments have been going. Because of our family history, he tends to visit the doctor much more than he should as he's too afraid to become ill, even though he's the healthiest old man I know.

I asked Souta how his first year of high school is going, and if my mother was planning on gardening again this spring. And then, my grandfather asked us something we really didn't want to be asked.

"So are your classes this semester going to be hard?" he asked us. Inuyasha and I both bit our bottom lips, and I couldn't help but notice my mother smirk.

"Most likely…" I had to lie for the mean time, and Inuyasha gave me a look. We both hate it when we lie, but I'm not ready to tell them what's actually going on just yet.

"You can stop lieing Kagome." My mother shook her head. Inuyasha and I froze. We couldn't think of what to say. "We got a letter about your withdrawal from school."

We looked at each other, not too sure what to say. We're caught. Well, might as well tell them what's going on now.

"Yes, we both withdrew from school." I sighed with an apologetic look.

"Can you please explain why, and why you lied to me?" disappointment clouded her face. Oh boy, I've never had to feel that before.

I grabbed onto Inuyasha's hand. This is honestly the scariest thing I've ever done. I think our first date was easier than this.

"Well, I didn't tell you the truth because we have an announcement, and I wanted to tell you that after our announcement." I explained. My brother, grandfather, and mother looked at us waiting to see what I had to say. I took a big, deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

Souta dropped his fork.

"Oh sweetie, I wish you would have told me before you decided to drop out!" my mother said, evidently sad that my career is over.

"It's okay mama, Inuyasha will be making a lot of money working with his father, and I'll be a stay at home mom. We already went to pick out a house." I explained. No use in keeping anything in the closet.

"Kagome, Inuyasha, I'm so surprised with you two." My grandfather said, in disbelief. "You were so excited to go to med school."

"Well, this wasn't planned." Inuyasha finally spoke up. "We definitely would have waited to finish our schooling and to even see if we were ready to spend our lives together, but there's no turning back."

I smiled, happy to have his support. "Basically, there's no point in having a kid and going to school when Inuyasha can be hired for his father without even having a diploma, kids are expensive. Since I'm going to be taking care of the child while Inuyasha works, I won't have any time to go to class or to spend time doing homework, and in med school I have to dedicated all my time to homework."

"I'll be honest Kagome," my mother started. "I'm a little bit disappointed that you two had gotten into this situation, but it is what it is, and you will have our support the whole way through." My mother said and my grandfather nodded his head in agreement.

YES!

We both let out a huge sigh of relief, a huge weight has been taken off of our shoulders. I can finally relax.

"Thank you so much mama, I was so worried you would have said otherwise."

"Yes, thank you Sakura." Inuyasha said with a boy of his head.

We both looked at Souta, he has a weird look on his face, so I asked if he was okay.

"My sister had sex! That's soooo GROSS!" he nearly cried. I sighed and Inuyasha bursted out laughing. Oh poor kid.

The rest of the evening went very well. I showed my mother my stomach, which barely has a bump. We told her how Inutaishou is helping us out considerably with finances and she seemed very grateful for it. She also offered to help whenever we needed it.

Now that I think of it, my family has yet to meet Inuyasha's family. This is something we're going to have to get done.

The night sky soon came in, and it was time to make the announcement to our friends. We decided to meet up at the skating rink.

Inuyasha and I had decided to take the taxi there as we would be spending the night outside anyways. It's not too cold out tonight. We're supposed to have a low of -10C.

When we got there, Hayaku and Akai were just getting their skates tied up. Sango, Miroku, Kouga and Ayame have yet to arrive, although we didn't have to wait very long.

"Wow you guys, you're so tan!" I said to Miroku and Sango. They had gone to Punta Cana for a week to get away from the cold for a little bit. We all got on the ice and started to skate. I held onto Inuyasha though in fear I would fall.

"Kagome, do you have to hold onto me?" Inuyasha said, very annoyed.

"Yea, I don't skate too often, I just don't want to fall because of you know what."

Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh. Seems like the stress got to him today. I hate it when he's in these kind of moods. I try hard to stay positive but he lets negativity get the best of him.

As we skated around, Miroku and Sango told us about their trip. It sounds like they had a lot of fun, I really would like to go on a trip sometime. I've never been out of Japan. I want to see the world someday. That will be hard with the little one on the way though.

"So, is there anything new with you two?" Hayaku asked us since we hadn't seen each other over the holidays. Him and Akai had just come back from their hometown last night.

"Actually, there is." Inuyasha said. Miroku, Sango, Kouga and Ayame gave us a weird look as they hadn't heard anything new with us.

"We're expecting." I decided to announce. Our friends all stopped skating and their mouths dropped, well except for Hayaku.

"Expecting what?" Hayaku asked. Akai shook her head.

"She's pregnant you fool." She hit him gently behind his head, and his mouth dropped as well.

"How?!" Ayame asked, her eyes wide.

"Well you see…" Inuyasha began and I had to cover his mouth.

"I think she knows how Inuyasha." I sighed. "I wasn't on birth control and we didn't use a condom. The one time…" I sighed again.

I knew it would be a lot easier telling our friends about this. We always have each other's backs.

"Saaaaango!" Miroku whined. "Kagome's pregnant, why can't you get pregnant?!"

Sango slapped him, we all shook our heads. "Because I'm going through school and I'm not ready for a child yet!" Honestly, between the two of us, me and Sango thought that if one of us were to get pregnant by accident, it would have been her. Guess not.

"Speaking of school..?" Kouga asked and all heads turned back to us. We explained everything that was happening with our lives. They were sad for the fact that we both had to give up our big dreams, but they understood why. Med school just isn't realistic with a child in the house.

They had all offered to help us move into our new home and with anything else we needed. With all the support we have been receiving from everyone today, I couldn't help but start crying.

"Why the hell are you crying?" Inuyasha asked me.

"I don't know!" I had to say. Yes, I'm very happy with how great our family and friends are, but this definitely isn't a reason to cry.

Akai threw her head back in laughter. "She's pregnant Inuyasha, she's going to have random mood swings that don't make any sense."

We all enjoyed the rest of the night together and we went home shortly after. Since it was nearly 1am, we made our way inside the mansion as quietly as possible, we didn't want to wake his parents up.

Well, that kind of flew out the window when we decided to go soak in the hot tub to warm up.

"MY EYES!" Inuyasha screamed as we both covered our eyes and ran away. Sesshoumaru and Rin had already claimed the hot tub, and I don't think I need to explain what was going on.

Of course Inutaishou had heard him and he came running downstairs as quickly as possible. "Is everything ok?!"

"No! I need soap! My eyes need to be washed!" Inuyasha yelled with his eyes shut as he pulled the hair on the back of his head. Inutaishou looked at me in question but I was way too embarrassed to explain. Not much longer, Sesshoumaru and Rin both walked inside with their bathing suits back on.

"Thank you for that, Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru growled at us. He probably got turned off when he saw his brother.

"Who the hell has sex in the hot tub?!" Inuyasha yelled. "Other people use it, that's just gross!"

"There's enough chemicals in the water to keep it clean, idiot." He rolled his eyes.

Inutaishou shrugged his shoulders. "Your mother and I have sex in the hot tub all the time, there's no harm in it."

"NOOO!" Inuyasha covered his ears and ran up to his room, leaving me there feeling all awkward.

Inutaishou laughed. "He's so easy to tease. Anyways, have a good night Kagome." He said and patted my head. With my face bright red, I said goodnight and went to Inuyasha's room.

It's never a dull moment in this house.
