Rin ran her hand over her bulging stomach, caressing her unborn child. They had put the wedding together as fast as possible, but they were still pushing the due date. Here Rin was, standing before a mirror inspecting her cream-colored gown, and her baby was due in two weeks.
"You behave and stay put," she told her baby, "at lest for today. Got it?" She managed to wiggle herself out of the chair, having learned not to sit back completely, and situated the veil.
Rin was unsure how she felt about the dress. It had been designed by one of New York's best of course, had small cap sleaves and a band just under her breasts that allowed the rest to flow gracefujlly to her toes, altogether a beautiful gown. The only issue was, it almost completely hid her belly, and she was proud of her baby. She wasn't sure how she felt about that.
"You ready?" Sango asked poking her head in. "Kagome and Ayame are just finishing sprucing." Sango looked at Rin. She was positively glowing, just like she had been in college. Their bright, shining, happy Rin was back.
"Showtime, girls!" Kohaku called from the other side of the door.
"How's my hair?"
"…stupid shoe…"
"Is that real?"
"Who did that?"
"Who did what?"
Rin looked in the mirror one more time, traightening the crown of daffodils holding her veil. Sango stepped up behind her to help.
"One year exactlysince I was in your shoes," she told the larger woman.
"I am sorry about that, by the way," Rin told her. "It's your anniversary. You should be spending the day the way you want to."
"Sweetheart, nothing could make me happier than seeing your dreams come true." Rin's eyes started to mist. "Oh, don't start that or you'll ruin your makeup." Rin gave Sango a quick hug.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Go get in line or they'll leave without you." With that Sango took her place behind Kagome, this round's Maid of Honor. The music started, the girls walked out, and Rin held her breath. She wished her father were still alive to walk her down the isle, but it does no good to dwell on things that can't be changed. Rin heard her music start and opened the door before putting a death grip on her bouquet of daffodils.
After the wedding Rin couldn't tell anyone exactly what had happened. From the moment her eyes locked on Sesshomaru's amber ones, the rest of the world just didn't exist.
Oxoxoxo
"And now folks, it's time for the happy couple's first dance as husband and wife." Rin beamed all through the applause as she and Sesshomaru took their place on the dance floor. Living the Happy Memories started playing, Sesshomaru held her tightly, the guest started gushing, Rin was thouroughly enjoying the moment, and then she felt her legs and feet flood. Rin's eyes widened in shock.
"Oops."
The scene that erupted would have been perfect for a Die Hard movie, what with the total chaos and all. However, thanks to Sesshomaru, Rin was able to leave the building and get a cab in less than ten minutes.
"Oh my," the nurse said, her eyebrows hiding in her hairline, "this is going very fast for a first child. You could very well give birth in a couple hours. We'll have to move you to the delivery room now." Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Ayame watched them go.
"I wonder if they've picked out names yet," Ayame said randomly. Inuyasha and Miroku looked somewhat confused at the left field remark, but Sango and Kagome just laughed.
"Yeah, they have," Inuyasha answered. "Kiseki Yoru if it's a boy, Temari Sue if it's a girl. They said they didn't want to know ahead of time."
"Ooh, pretty," Ayame commented as she settle into a waiting chair with a three-month-old magazine.
Oxoxoxo
"Inuyasha, wake up," Kagome said softly. He'd fallen asleep laying across four chairs. "Inuyasha." She shook his shoulder.
"Huh?" Inuyasha rubbed his eyes. Kagome had to hold in a squee. As annoying as he was, he was just so adorable asleep!
"You're an uncle." That got him up. "Come on." Kagome and Inuyasha popped in on the parents quickly then headed to the nursery.
"Which one?" he said looking through the glass.
"See those two silver heads?" His eyebrows went up as he nodded. "Meet Kiseki Yoru and Temari Sue."
OXOXOXO
