Everything is perfect!
Well, except for the mini-van, excuse me, vans growing in my tummy… I look like a freakin' WHALE! Sango, insists that I'm fine, my mom tells me she's so proud of me, and Izayoi can't stop bragging about her new grandchildren. And as for the father of my kids…
I have no idea where he is…
Nah, I'm just playing. You should have seen the look on your face! You actually thought Inuyasha would leave me with no money, or any support in this?
Yeah, right…
I am now into my third trimester and really enjoying it….yay… I even have double the stress! Not only do I have kids growing in me, I also have to plan my own wedding. Yes, wedding. No, Inuyasha didn't propose because he got me pregnant.
You should have been there when he asked me…
I'll let you see for yourself, while I go puke up lunch. BRB!

I sat on my couch in my cozy living room, reading "Pretty Little Liars". I had been released from the hospital five days ago and now I'm loving every minute of my freedom. Of course the word had gotten out about Inuyasha Taisho's newest playtoy. The bigger news was that he was going to be a daddy. What surprised me was how easily he took it. Inuyasha even seemed excited… after he came conscious again. It's not an easy thing to say my boyfriend fainted when he found out I was pregnant, but I deal with it…
The door bell rang and it yelled a "Come in!" to whoever it was.
Inuyasha came into the living room, upset.
"Hey, Koinu. What's up?" I asked and put down my book.
"Your front door was open."
"So?"
"Anyone could have walked right it and hurt you. What if something happened to you!"
I rolled my eyes. I know he's just looking out for me, but come on…
"Inuyasha, I'm fine," I said and stood up. I even gave a little hop. "See? Fine."
He didn't look pleased. He sat me down on the couch and sat next to me. E looked completely serious now.
"That's not the point. You could have been hurt."
"Yeah, could have. But, not," I said interrupting.
"You're missing the point. It's not just you any more," he said and made a motion at my stomach, "there's someone in there."
I would have laughed at how cute that was. I smiled instead and held his face in my hands, "Okay, Koi. I promise to be more careful. Okay?"
"It would be easier if you would just come live with me," he said. Here he goes again. I sighed and reached for my book. He took it away from me. I objected and tried to reach for it, but failed.
"Give it back!"
"Kagome, just listen to me," he said. That made me stop and wait for what he had to say. This better be good…
"Please, Kagome. Stop being stubborn. I just want to take care of you. I just want to know you're safe and that you're someplace I can keep my eyes on you. You have no idea how much I worry about you," he said.
"But, I'm right here. I' m not going anywhere. Why must you be so overprotective? I'm not a child!"
"I know that! " he yelled back.
"Then why must you treat me like one!"
"Because I don't want to lose you again!"
I stopped. He was afraid of losing me again. Now I feel like crying…
"When I got the call from you about Kouga, I went crazy. The idea of someone taking you from me infuriated me to no end. Then it actually happened. I heard you screaming. A part of me thought you were dead. I felt horrible. Next thing I know, I'm getting a call from Sesshoumaru telling me to 'come pick up my wench'. I was relieved and ecstatic to see you, alive. I just wanted to protect you, but you weren't letting me. You were always saying you were fine, but I just wanted to be sure. No matter what it cost."
I had tears in my eyes by the end of that speech. He really does care. Any doubt in my mind was gone now.
"My parents never told you, but I was a complete mess without you. That's probably why my mom was so happy to meet you," he continued.
"She was more than happy. She kept going on about grandbabies. She's something else," I said. I looked up at Inuyasha. He looked completely serious now.
"Kagome, loosing you has helped me realize just how much I need you in my life."
Oh god… don't tell me…
"I felt a sort of attraction to you when I saw you with Inumaru at the airport that afternoon. From that moment, you had me hooked."
He's gonna do it. He's gonna do it…
"I don't and won't loose you. Kagome,"
He's gonna say it! Oh, My GOD! He's gonna propose!
"Will you make me Ramen everyday?" he asked.
~:~
Yep. That's how it went.
…
Are you confused? Let me help you out. For all you loveable Westerners, the whole "will you marry me?" thing isn't as big over here as it is in U.S. of A. What my wonderful fiancée asked could be translated into:
"Will you be my wife and cook for me?"
Guess what I said…
So, let's see what I've done so far…
Cake- check
Place- check
Invitations- mailed
Dresses/Tuxedos- check and check
Band- check
Wedding favors- check
Honeymoon- Inuyasha took care of that…
Rings- check
I know I'm missing something. What is it?
"Kagome?"
I looked up at Inuyasha as he entered our bedroom. Yep, it's mine, too. He just got off work? Where did the day go?
"Heeeeeyyy," I dragged on, "I gots great news. I have almost everything done. See? We didn't need a wedding planner."
He came over to our bed, where I was laying down, and sat by my feet. He took them and got to work. Oh, yeah… that's the spot.
"You were right, Koi. But, you wouldn't have had so much to do if you hadn't upset the wedding planner and made her quit in the first place," he said.
"Hey! She insulted me. did you see the dress she picked out? It looked like it was for a Mini-van! I was barely even showing then," I complained. She had really hurt my self esteem…
"But, you would have been when the actual wedding took place," he continued.
"… Shut up," I said. I hate it when he wins…

(A/N: Should I continue? I should… I will)
The ceremony was beautiful. At least I hoped it was. I saw the set up yesterday, but I can't help but feel nervous. I mean, what if lightning struck down everything or a freak fire bust out of the cake? Oh, god… Breathe Kagome… breathe…
I looked at myself in the mirror and held a hand to my stomach. Twins. I didn't want to know what they were. I'll leave that for the day they decide to become an even bigger part of mine and Inuyasha's worlds.
My dress was beautiful. (We decided on a Western style wedding). It's white with a detachable shoulder strap. Meaning I can have it as a sleeveless or attach one star to the other for a side V around my neck. It even has a flower on it! The top is styled like a corset, but stretchy. My huge stomach was hidden slightly by the flowing bottom of the dress. I had on whit flats. No way was I doing anything else, but flats….
My hair was parted in the middle to let some curly tendrils frame my face. The rest were in elegant curls with half of it pined up with several white, floral hair pins. (hair pins with white flowers at the end). I'm pretty!
I heard a knock on my door. I turned to see my father smiling at me.
"You look beautiful Love Bean. I can't believe you're all grown up. You're even getting ready to start your own family. *sigh* I just want you to know that I'm proud of you and I couldn't think of anyone better to take care of my little girl than the one standing out there right now. I love you," he said. Thank god for waterproof mascara.
"I love you, too Daddy," I said and hugged him. I'm soooooo emotional…. I need a tissue…
"Let's go get you hitched then!" he said and gave me his arm. I smiled and took it.

I'm sweating.
It's like 62 degrees in here and I'm sweating like a pig in this dress. My heart is ready to jump out of my chest and leave the church, my lungs won't let air come in, and my stomach is dancing around and eating my kidneys. My body is rebelling against me.
I could hear the music starting. I'm gonna puke.
The doors are opening. There goes Rin with her flowers, Souta and the rings, my cousin Kikyou, my best friend Ayumi, My bestest bestie, Sango… oh god it's my turn…
"Calm down, Love Bean. Breathe," my dad whispered. I don't think I can.
Here goes nothing…
^.~
Don't fall.
Don't wet yourself.
Don't puke.
Don't fall.
Don't wet yourself.
Don't puke.
Breathe! Woman, breathe!
I inhaled deeply. I need to remember that one. Before I could continue my mantra a light flash in my face and dazed me. Cameraman. Of course all of Japan would turn out for one of Japan's Most Eligible Bachelor's wedding… insert eye roll here.
Oh god… I'm at the alter. I saw my father bow and Inuyasha returned it before I left my father's side to join Inuyasha's. Miroku, being the good friend he was, was kind enough to wed us. What a teddy bear… I could see Inumaru, Sesshoumaru, and Inutaisho standing behind Inuyasha.
Don't wet yourself.
Don't puke.
Breathe.
Inuyasha was smiling at me as if he knew what I was thinking. I blushed and bit my lip to keep off the smile. He smiled wider. Eventually, I gave in. Damn him….
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy Matrimony," Miroku started.
Oh please God, or anyone who's listening, hear this pregnant woman's plea. Don't let my water break now!
(A/N: I'm gonna skip over the whole exchanging of rings and vows. You guys have seen weddings. You know what happens…)
~:~
The reception was wonderful. Damn, I can throw a good wedding!
Cutting the cake… good times, good times…
My small hand, enclosed in Inuyasha's bigger one slowly brought the knife down on our five-layered wedding cake. It looked more like round gray and white spotted boxes with ribbons than an actual cakes. That made it awesome.
Of course we fed each other. Why wouldn't we? I tried to eat a piece myself, but as soon as it touched my lip, my new husband attacked my face for it. He won the piece of cake. (WEBSITE FOR CAKE: http:/ www. solarnavigator. net/www. arabiantents. com/ wedding_ cakes. htm (remove spaces))
The rest of the reception went smoothly. No water breaking… no fires… Miroku barely got slapped…
What I remember the most was throwing the bouquet…
I watched the crowd of unmarried woman and smiled. They were all cherring. At once, I turned, closed my eyes, hoped I wouldn't hit someone, and tossed it. I turned quickly to see who caught it. Oops… threw it too far.
I could hear Inuyasha's laughter at who caught the bouquet. I giggled lightly.
A few feet away, a stunned Sesshoumaru stood with the white rose bouquet in his hands. What made it even better was the old lady behind him started giving him air kisses! I'll never forget this day…

Wasn't that nice, sweet, and fluffy? Two more chapters to go!
