Authors note~

Sorry I took so long to update I had on and off writers block, and I wanted to make this chapter really long. And also I don't know the name of the tree Inuyasha was pinned to… ^_^v Normal POV.

When Kagome woke up she felt something against her side. Looking down she saw Inuyasha. Suddenly she heard someone coming up the stairs, and without a second thought she shoved him to the ground. She quickly pulled the covers over herself, feigning sleep, just as the door to her bedroom opened.

"Kagome?" a voice called. "Kagome, sweetie are you awake?" at the sound of the voice Kagome sat up and looked to the person that stood in the door way. She blinked a few times, not sure if she was dreaming. There in the door stood her mother.

"Mom?" she asked still not believing it. "I thought you wouldn't be home for another week."

"Well, when Souta told me you needed to talk to me, I came home right away. Anyways, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" her mother asked truly curious.

Kagome started get nervous, not sure how to tell her mother that she was pregnant. Just as she was about to try to say something, Inuyasha stirred on the floor. He looked at the floor then shot a glare at Kagome. "Hey Kagome why…." He stopped short when he noticed her mother in the doorway. "Uh…hi Ms. Higurashi."

"Hello Inuyasha." She replied with a sweet smile. "How are you?"

"Uh, fine." He didn't know what else to say. He then realized what Kagome had come to tell her mother, and decided it best to wait outside for her. He didn't know how that conversation would turn out and he was pretty sure he didn't want to. Once out side he walked to the tree that in the past he was pinned to. Jumping up into the branches he waited out the conversation.

Kagome fidgeted as her mother came to sit on the bed beside her. 'How am I supposed to let her know? I wish Inuyasha was in here. Maybe I'll go get him and then tell her.' She thought. 'Stop making excuses.' A voice in the back of her head said. She nodded to herself letting out a heavy sigh.

"It's alright Kagome, just let me know what it is you need to tell me."

"Mom…" she paused. "I'm, uh…."

"What is it Kagome?" She put a reassuring hand on her daughters arm.

"I'm pregnant…" her voice dropped, just barley above a whisper. Her mother didn't say anything for a long time. Kagome thought she might have been in shock, or maybe to angry to say anything. She held her breath fighting off the tears that so desperately wanted to spring from her eyes. Her mom wrapped her arms around her, sensing that she was on the verge of tears.

"It's alright sweet heart. I'm not mad, but I do think you should tell Souta before you leave." Her mom suddenly perked up. "And you have to promise to come visit at least once a month." Her voice was taking on the sound of and excited teenager. "And also, you have to let me through you a baby shower!" Kagome couldn't help but giggle as her mother squeezed her shoulders, a soft smile gracing her lips.

"Okay I promise…" she pause her thoughts turning to Inuyasha. She sighed. "That is if he will let me." She said trusting he thumb in the direction she though Inuyasha to be.

"Oh don't worry, he will." Her mother hugged her again before heading for the door.

"How are you so sure?"

"I'm going to bribe him." Her sweet smile turned into one of confidence. Kagome giggled again. She felt so relieved now that her mother knew. The next step was telling her brother, and grandpa.

They all sat around the table eating dinner. Kagome ate slowly trying to figure out the perfect way to let them know. She was sure Souta would be thrilled, but she wasn't so sure about her grandpa. She stabbed at her leeks thinking intently, only aroused from her own mind when her name was mentioned.

"Huh, what?" she asked confused.

"Don't you have something you want to tell everyone?" he mother asked trying to hide the excitement in her voice. She didn't succeed.

"Oh yeah I guess I do." She looked down unsure of how to put it. She wasn't really scared, just anxious to have it off her chest completely. Inuyasha's ears twitched curiously, Souta leaned forward in anticipation, and her grandpa sat, continent with eating.

"Well?" her mother encouraged.

"Well," she said looking up at Souta with a small smile on her lips. "You're going to be an uncle." The smile on her brother's face grew impossibly wide, his eyes sparkling.

"Really?" he asked not believing it.

"Yeah." Kagome giggled at his enthusiasm. Her grandpa choked, coughing for a minute before turning his deadly gaze at Inuyasha. Inuyasha picked up on the deadly atmosphere before anyone else. Quickly jumping up form his spot at the table and running to hide behind Kagome. "Inuyasha?" He didn't say anything, only pointed. Kagomes eyes settled on a very hostile old man.

"Gramps?" Souta asked cautiously. No response, and before anyone could say anything else, their grandpa was behind Inuyasha, cursing him and throwing useless sutras at him. Kagome laughed at the show, knowing all to well that her grandpa was not really angry, just didn't know how to accept it. Inuyasha shot her a look that said 'what the hell are you laughing at.' It only made her laugh more.

The rest of the night Inuyasha spent his time cowering behind Kagome, afraid to face her grandpa.

The next morning they woke up early packing what was needed and then headed for the well.

"Bye." Kagome called cheerily. "I'll see you in a month." She waved frantically at them before headed down the stairs to meet Inuyasha. Without hesitation they both jumped over the edge, going back in time.

When they reached the top of the well, Kagome took a deep breath. "It feels good to have that off my chest." She said smiling at the silver haired hanyou that stood beside her. He huffed, turning his head. This was the man she had fallen in love with. The prideful, full of himself, pretends not to care about others, half-demon. She sighed happily, relived in so many ways.

As they began walking Kagome noticed they were headed towards Kaede's village. "Why are we going this way?"

"Everyone's here." He stated bluntly.

"What do you mean?" she asked as they continued forward.

He looked down at her as he spoke. "Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara have all come to the village."

"Oh."

"And about seeing everyone again…" he paused. "Are you going to tell them?"

"Well Sango already knows, and I figure Miroku and Shippo will figure it out sooner or later so why not just let them now." Inuyasha noticed she seemed a lot happier after talking to her mother.

"kay…." He trailed off.

"Do…do you not want me to tell them?" she asked frantically.

"No, I think its better that you do…" he trailed off again.

"There's something you're not telling me." Her face taking on that stubborn look.

He looked away. "It's nothing." His eyes shifted to the ground.

"Tell me." She demanded, setting her hands on her hips. Inuyasha gulped. He knew that pose all to well, it was the pose he knew to cause pain if he didn't cooperate. Her eyes hardened as he hesitated. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything Inuyasha spoke up.

"I was just thinking." She did not relax her pose, she wasn't satisfied with his answer.

"About what?" she pressed.

"It's just…"

"What?!" he voice took on a scary edge making Inuyasha flinch.

"I don't know the first thing about kids!!" he yelled, she was putting him under to much presser. Making him say things that were still only a fresh thought in his mind. She wasn't giving him time to consider what he was saying. He could only blurt out the first word that he thought of, to save himself from being 'sat'.

His now clenched fists relaxed as he looked up. Kagomes head hung and her eyes were covered by her bangs. He took a step forward, but stopped as he smelt salt in the air. "Kagome?" he asked softly. He slowly reached for her, but she jerked away. A quiet sob bubbled up from her throat. "Kagome." He tried again, with a little more force this time. He reached for her again, only to get the same reaction. "Kagome." He put authority in his tone, grabbed her arm, and tugged her a little.

"NO!" she screamed trying to rip her arm from her grasp, but when she couldn't free herself she slumped to the ground and continued. "It's not my fault you got me pregnant Inuyasha!!" her voice was strong with the anger she was releasing.

He flinched at her words again, but this time it took a toll on him, he felt like he had been punched in the gut. She was trying to place all the blame on him. His heart suddenly felt like searing lead in his chest. "This is as much your fault as it is mine! Don't trying to push it off all on me!!" he words came of in growls.

"So it's both our faults, but you don't have to make it any harder by saying you don't want the baby!!" tears streaked her face, falling fast and not stopping. "I'm sorry if I'm ruining your life by bringing 'your' kid into this world, but there's nothing I can do about it now!!!!

Something about the way she said ''your' kid' made his breathing stop. It hurt him but it also held an air of importance to him. He took a minute to calm himself before talking to her again. He knew that if they continued yelling at each other they would get nowhere. Taking a deep breath to make sure he was calm he looked at her and spoke once more. "I never said I didn't want the kid." He gauged her face for a reaction as he continued. "All I said was 'I don't know the first ting about kids'." He took another steadying breath. "That doesn't qualify as a rejection. And it's not just my kid…it's yours to." His eyes dropped to the ground. 'What if she really doesn't want this kid? What if she really decides to hate me for this?' his thoughts were taking a turn for the worst.

Kagome slowly picked herself up and headed for the village again. Neither of them spoke a word on the way. Her mind was deep in thought about Inuyashas reaction, as was Inuyasha about Kagomes. They hadn't realized they had arrived until Sango burst out of the hut and threw her arms around Kagome.

"Kagome where were you? We got really worried after you two left and didn't come back!" she had an edge of hysteria to her voice.

"I just went home to talk to my mom." She said flatly.

"Is something wrong, you sound like things didn't go to well? She didn't tell you to get rid of the baby did she?!" she blurt out.

"What? What baby?!" Miroku asked from behind her. Instantly Sango realized her mistake and her hands flew to cover her mouth, although id was far too late for that. Sango looked to Kagome apologetically.

"It's okay Sango I was planning on telling them anyways." Kagome whispered. She looked at Miroku and laughed nervously. "I'm pregnant." She said her hands instinctively cradling her flat stomach. Mirokus mouth fell open. Quickly regaining his composure, he jumped to Inuyashas side and gave him a lecherous grin.

"Way to go." He whispered elbowing Inuyasha in the ribs encouragingly.

"Shut up monk." He growled dangerously, he wasn't in the mood for his lecherous side. Miroku backed away, but kept the smile in place. Shippo was jumping around happily, singing about the new baby.

Inuyasha and Kagome hadn't spoken to each other since their fight earlier that day, it was now dusk and they were all sitting around the fire. Kagome and Sango were talking animatedly about baby names and weather it was going to be a boy or a girl. Miroku kept staring at Inuyasha, his gaze turning from one of envy to congratulations, and back to envy. Shippo sat in Kagomes lap looking between her and Sango as they talked. And Inuyasha was staring into space wondering what it would be like to be a father.

The thought just didn't seem real. He couldn't picture himself holding a tiny baby in his arms, he couldn't Imagine Kagome with a swollen belly. It seemed like a distant dream that was a nightmare around the edges. His thoughts slowly shifted to his father. 'What was he like? Did he enjoy fathering children?' he snickered to himself. 'Ha! How could he when he had a son like Shessomaru!' he continued to think about how his father, and how he wasn't here anymore, he didn't notice that it had grown quiet around the fire, due to the fact that everyone was settling in for the night.

Kagome snuggled deeper into her sleeping back letting her thoughts drift. Little did she know that she and Inuyasha were thinking about almost the same thing. She imagined what it would be like to have baby in her arms, but the picture always seemed blurred. She couldn't quiet picture herself with a baby. She tried to imagine Inuyasha with a baby, and let out a low giggle that was caused by the picture in her mind. She couldn't imagine him being so gentle with an infant. Her mind played a picture of him holding a baby upside down and wondering why it wouldn't shut up. She laughed again, but the sighed. Her concept of Inuyasha didn't fit into the category of him being a dad. 'Wonder what he'll do when the babies born?' her thoughts slowly died off as sleep took over.
