SAVING ME

CHAPTER 29: HOME (part 2)

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Rin planted the last rose bush and struggled to her feet. It was a lot harder now; after all she was almost 6 months pregnant. She rubbed a hand to her stomach, feeling the slight pang of the child moving within her. It had been a little over two months since she had come to the house with Sesshomaru and in that time, a lot of things had changed. She and Sesshomaru, had both worked hard to fix the faults within the house, he had seen to a lot of the yard work and repairs while she had enjoyed the painting and gardening. She sighed, feeling the gently breeze of the country brushing her nape length hair.

The three bedroom abode was perfect for a small family and Rin couldn't help but blush with the direction of her thoughts. Entering the house, Rin saw Sesshomaru adjusting his shirt. He scowled at Rin and she giggled at how cute the expression was.

"Why aren't you dressed?" he asked and the girl lifted her muddy hands, smiling even wider when his scowl deepened.

"Did you forget our appointment is at nine?" he asked and she frowned looking up at the clock, she had half an hour.

"Don't you want to what it is?" he asked and she sighed reluctantly.

"Of course I want to know what I'm having, but it doesn't matter…I already love him…or her." Said Rin, and giggled as the baby started to move again beneath her muddy fingers. Sesshomaru walked towards her, brushing away her fingers, he placed his hands where hers had been. Rin smiled softly at the way his face softened even though his whole focus was on the baby's movement. They remained that way until the baby stopped moving and Sesshomaru awkwardly stepped away. Rin stepped around him and headed to the bathroom.

Forty five minutes late, the couple was within the small examination room of the Village Clinic with a young doctor, Dr. Hojo Akitoki. He ran the probe over the bulge of Rin's stomach, simultaneously pointing out parts of the baby's body and assuring Rin and Sesshomaru that the baby was indeed healthy.

"…right now the organs are developing…and its hearing you guys, so don't be afraid to talk to it…" Hojo droned on as Rin smiled.

"Doctor, can you tell us the gender." Said Sesshomaru impatiently, causing Rin to giggle. He was much too excited; whereas Rin didn't really care it seemed to be driving Sesshomaru crazy.

Hojo chuckled too, having caught a hint of the excitement in Sesshomaru's eyes but sobered and became flustered as he caught the man's glacial eyes.

"From the obvious absence of a certain…extension…you're having a daughter, congratulations." Said Hojo, who looked away as he saw the couples' eyes locked. They smiled slowly at each other as though communicating a million messages between themselves, Rin looked away to the screen to look at the monitor, opened her mouth to ask Hojo a question when Sesshomaru's lips locked with hers. It was brief, not more than a second, but she gasped, eyes widening…she looked at him as though she had been betrayed, her eyes filling with tears.

A/N: ha! Bet you were expecting a cute first kiss weren't you? HA! You should know me better, I like drama. Lol ^_^ *points and laughs* I'd never make it that easy. Anyways, thanks for the reviews a guy; that's what has made this possible.

REVIEWS:

Chouran: ^_^ you're welcome, thank you very much for reviewing. You're right, unfortunately, the fan already started to turn…it's only about 4 more chapters of "serenity" as I like to call it, and from reading this, you can see it aint all that serene. As for the merman story, it's going really well, I'm still working on the plot outline because that's how I usually write my stories, I promise to send you a personal message just before I put it up ok? ^_^

Jolie Luv: There's nothing wrong with an early breakfast lol. Honestly, I'm not the sort to judge, I will say "You're weird…but I'm weird too so we mesh well." to people but that's about it lol. I'm sorry you got stressed out a bit, but they always say the best things don't come easy right? And you should totally listen to the future Mr. Luv lol, he sounds smart. And yes Rin and Sesshomaru totoally deserve happiness lol but it seems to be a long way off doesn't it?
