Y',Where are my people? I miss your reviews… please come back.

"Kagome, I want to be the father to your children." I just looked at him.

"Well what of this child?" I asked.

"That's what I…"He was cut off by the doctor coming in.

"Hello Mrs. Higurashi. Glad to see that you are awake. Now about your babies…"

"My baby you mean." I said smiling. It's only a baby. Can't be more…

"No Mrs. Higurashi I meant babies." She gave a radiant smile. " you are the mother of triplets. Everyone in the room, even Izayoui who had stirred awake when the doctor came in, were staring at her.

"Trip…triplets…" I whispered. Not only one but three babies inside of my little body? How could that be?

"Yes, triplets, soon enough we can try to figure out the gender. Mrs. Higurashi do you have a personal doctor?" She asked checking my chart. I shook my head "no." "Well you need one right away."

"Can you refer me to anyone in particular?" I asked. I don't know of any of the doctors hear. Naraku never let me come to the hospital unless he had to like the time I had that allergic reaction to latex. Condoms of course were my means of finding out.

"Dr. Crane is a really good doctor. She's really inexpensive too. Private practitioner, American, but she's legit in her work. I'd recommend her." She gave a slight frown while reading my papers. "You have got to take care of yourself. Have you been bleeding?" I bit my lip.

"Yes."

"Sharp pains?"

"Yes"

"Honey, have you been exercising?"

"No."

"Good, had any accidents?" I looked over at Inuyasha. He gave my hand a slight squeeze. I took a deep breath.

"Yes."

"What sorts of accidents?" Concern and recognition filled her face. I looked away from her to Inuyasha, then to the ceiling. I took like six shallow deep breaths trying to keep tears down.

"Her husband…" Inuyasha started.

"Inuyasha no!" I blurted out.

"What about your husband?" She asked turning her full attention to me. I chewed on my lower lip for a minute.

"My husband…" I looked over at Izayoui and she nodded, "He left before we knew that we had conceived and I have been really clumsy. Falling on the stairs, slipping on wet floors, that kind of stuff." I started chewing my lips again.

"Uh-huh, and why so eager to have him," pointing to Inuyasha, "Hide this from me?" She asked eyes not leaving me, everyone's eyes were on me.

"I am just ashamed of the fact that I can't take care of myself I guess." I looked down.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha pleaded.

"I think she has had enough of visitors for today, please go home and get rest and come back in the morning to see her." The doctor directed to Izayoui and her son. They left, Inuyasha didn't want to go but his mother pushed his out despite protests.

"I am sorry." I said. I know that I am being a complete fool, but if he finds out…

"For what, you've told me everything I need to take care of you and you're baby." She said pulling up a chair. I looked away; I didn't want her to see the truth in my eyes. "I suppose you didn't though now, did you?" I looked up at her. She knew, it must be written all over me like some contaminated object. I shook my head. "Would you like to tell me?" Her voice was a lot softer now.

"My husband, he…" I let out a shaky breath, "he hits me…well not just hits but he beats me, constantly. He didn't know about the baby until tonight. Although he only slapped me tonight but being upset over that is what brought me here? I think, anyway that is probably how you could tell I was lying. It most likely bruised. He beats me and takes me and…" I started shaking, tears built behind my eyes, "the baby isn't safe with him. Those people, the ones here with me tonight, that's my best friend and the closest thing I have to a mother." The doctor reached over and held my hand. She gave it a light squeeze and handed me some tissues.

"Kagome you are very brave taking all of this on on your own. I was in an abusive relationship myself. That's how I got my son. I escaped before he could be harmed and it looks like you're just as lucky as I. I remember when Naraku, which was his name, found out I had run away he tried to find me but my father was a cop. I was only 16, but I made it and so have you. I am going to have to hospital psychiatrist come and see you through your stay. As your doctor, please, try talking to her." She gave a little smile.

"What…what did you say his name was?" The shock crept over my body. Then I remembered something; Smell the air oh powerful demon.

"Naraku, why do you ask?"

"That's the name of my husband…" I barely choked out.
