Chapter 5 – A Big Surprise
Today is the big day! Inuyasha and I finally get to find out the sex of our baby! I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. I got out of bed before Inuyasha so I went downstairs to make him breakfast for when he woke up for work. I checked the clock to see how much time I would have, and I only have half an hour. Looks like I'm going with something simple, pancakes!
I mixed up some pancake batter and added in bananas, blueberries, and chocolate chips. Oh boy this looks so good! I poured the batter into the pan and began to cook, the smell is amazing. Inuyasha will surely wake up from the scent of my delicious breakfast before his alarm goes off. As I finished making a third pancake, I heard Inuyasha get out of bed. I know him so well.
I piled his three pancakes onto a plate and put some syrup and powder icing sugar on the table and a glass of OJ just as he entered the kitchen.
"I thought I smelled something." Inuyasha said with a smile, clearly happy he got to wake up to an amazing breakfast prepared by yours truly. "Since when are you so cheery in the morning?" he asked as he gave me a good morning kiss before he sat down to eat.
"We're finding out if we have a boy or girl today!" I replied happily as I finished my first pancake. I normally only have one and a half, and give Inuyasha my other half, but the baby is extra hungry this morning. "Don't forget, you only work the morning today. Your father gave you the afternoon off so we can start shopping for the baby room." I reminded him.
I soon finished my third pancake, and I drizzled chocolate syrup on it, added the icing sugar, syrup, and whip cream. SO good! But I noticed Inuyasha looking at me weird. "Is there something wrong?" I asked him.
"Don't get mad at me for this," he started. Uh oh, sounds like I won't like this… "But Kagome, your eating habits have been awful lately."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, very hurt by the statement. I know I've been eating a lot more lately, and I have been coming up with weird concoctions, but I am pregnant.
"I'm just worried you're going to get out of shape." He replied.
My mood definitely just took a 180. "So you think I'm getting fat?"
"NO! That's not what I said!" Inuyasha became defensive.
"It sure as hell sounded like it…" I replied. Now I'm unable to eat this food. Inuyasha made a frustrated sigh and took the last bite of his food before he went upstairs for a shower. I looked at my food. I can't eat this now… I just think I'm going to throw it out and have a bowl of cereal with some fruit. I WAS going to join Inuyasha for a shower, but now I don't really feel comfortable going.
After I cleaned the kitchen up I went upstairs to make our bed.
"Kagome, can you come in here?" I heard Inuyasha yell as I walked past the washroom. With a sigh, I turned around and went to see what he wanted. "Come join me." He said.
"I'll pass." I replied.
"Kagome, I didn't say you're fat!" he yelled over the noise of the running water. "All I'm trying to say is that since you're pregnant, you can't be as active as you used to be, so with the way you're eating, you're going to get out of shape. Either way I'm attracted to you, I'm just worried about your health dummy."
Oh he's such a romantic. I stood there for a second and thought about what he just said. I guess he is right, and I have been feeling a bit sluggish lately… Before I could think any further though, Inuyasha stepped out of the shower, blocked the door, somehow stripped my clothes off and pulled me in the shower.
''See, you're sexy." Inuyasha smiled and started to wet my hair. I shook my head at myself, lately I have been having a really hard time staying mad at him. He seems to have found my week point. For some reason I seem to lighten up a bit when he starts cuddling up to me and shows me affection. I hate it.
We later got out of our far too long shower, and Inuyasha had to rush to be ready in time for work.
Once he left I went ahead and did my hair and makeup. I walked around the house to see if there was anything I could do, but there's nothing. I've been so bored, everything has been kept as clean as possible. I can't wait until our baby is born, I'll have so much more entertainment.
I got the ribs ready in the slow cooker so I can just turn it on before I leave for our appointment. This way I'll just have to cook some rice and vegetables real quick when we get back and supper will be ready.
I sat on the couch to watch TV since there wasn't anything else to do, and I realized just how tired I am from waking up so early today. I decided to set my alarm on my phone for half an hour before I had to leave and I went ahead and took a nap.
A few hours later I woke to hear someone knocking on my door. I checked the time, and I had at least another hour left to nap. I stretched as I got off the couch and I went to answer the door. When I opened it, there stood a squealing Ayame.
"GUESS THE FUCK WHAT!" she yelled as she ran into the house.
"WHAT?!" I pretended to be just as excited as her. She rolled her eyes at my sarcasm, and showed me her ring finger. There stood a beautiful white gold ring with a big diamond in the middle, and three small diamonds embedded in the band on each side.
"Holy shit you're engaged!" I yelled as my mouth dropped.
"He proposed last night on our 4 year anniversary dinner! It was so romantic!" she sighed as she replayed the moment in her head. Wow, I can't believe how much everyone is growing up! Inuyasha and I are having our child, and Ayame is now engaged to Kouga. Today is definitely a good day!
"I'm so happy for you guys!" I said as I gave her a hug. I invited her in for a little while so she could tell me about her night before I had to leave for the appointment. She gave me every detail, from the colour of the flowers he bought her, to the proposal. I'm honestly a little bit jealous of her!
The time just flew by and I unfortunately had to leave from our lovely conversation. I turned on the slow cooker and went to meet up with Inuyasha at the doctors clinic. Inuyasha had already been waiting for about five minutes when I got there and he gave me a kiss when I stepped out of my car. We entered the clinic and checked in before waiting for our ultra sound tech to call on us.
It didn't take very long before our turn came, and the ultra sound tech gestured for me to lay down on the small bed. I pulled my shirt over my belly and she rubbed the jelly type of substance over my stomach.
"So it looks like we're going to see what the sex is today, eh?" she asked with a big smile as the machine booted up. Inuyasha and I both replied yes with big smiles on our faces. "It's always the most exciting part for couples it seems." She laughed.
The technician focused on the screen as the image of our baby appeared. She said our baby is looking very healthy and that it is growing at the right rate. And now, here is the big moment…
"If you look right about here," she pointed at the screen. "We can see that you two will be having a baby…"
Yup, I'm ending it there ;) HA
