Sasuke x Kagome
"Sasuke." She smiled, her nose brushing against his pulse. She was almost positive she could feel his strong, even heartbeat—steadily, his blood pumped beneath his flesh—while she snuggled further into his embrace.
Though his eyes remained locked on the moon gleaming beyond the window, his hand shifted and settled upon her bulging stomach. He did not need to say anything, as he pulled her close, for she understood his reaction all too well.
Her smile saddened—bitterness lingered in her eyes—because she knew that even happiness could not vanquish the anger buried within his heart.
But, even so, while locked in his arms, she could not help but hope she could make him happy. That she could bring light to his eyes. Because while she knew he would be an excellent father, she wanted him to experience the happiness she felt every time she thought of him or the child he had helped create.
