Chapter 37

Welcome Home

-Nine months later-

Sesshomaru paced back and forth in the hospital room which was very strange of him. He was usually emotionless. Dressed in a blue hospital gown over his clothing with a white mask over his mouth he sauntered over to his wife and smoothed her hair back.

Rin opened her eyes and smiled weakly despite the pain she was in just then. She felt Sesshomaru grab her hand gently and she squeezed right when another contraction came.

"You're doing great Mrs. Takahashi. Just a few more pushes." The doctor delivering her baby said.

Rin took deep breaths and pushed. She was beginning to wonder if the epidoral they gave her even worked to sooth the pain at all.

"One more. I got the head. Take a deep breath Mrs. Takahashi and push."

Rin nodded and gripped Sesshomarus hand tightly. He winced and wondered when his little Rin got so strong. He coudln't believe this was it. He was seconds away from having a son of his own. The nine months of suffering from her middle in the night cravings, mood swings, and morning sickness was all worth it though. Leaning down to kiss her forehead he whispered encouraging words to her and grinned when he heard the first cry of their baby born.

-Waiting room-

A loud shrilling interupted the silence in the waiting room. Kagome had forgotten to turn off her ringer since they didn't allow cell phones in the hospital. She smiled apologetically at the nurse at the front desk and went outside to talk. She flipped open her cell phone and looked at the ID before pressing the 'yes' button.

"Hello?"

"Hey. She have it yet?" Inuyashas voice came through the phone. He had returned to New York a month after the battle. Naraku was dead and Kikyo was sentenced to fifteen years of prison for attempted murder. Kanna was sent to a foster family in the other side of Japan. Kagome smiled.

"Not yet. We're still waiting." She said and looked inside the waiting room through the windows.

"Damn. How long does it take to have a baby?" He growled.

"Inuyasha, it takes time. She's in labor. I bet she'll have it soon. Hey I'll call you when she has it ok? We're not allowed to have cell phones inside."

"Alright. But don't forget to call me right after she has it." He assured her.

Kagome thought this over. "Why are you so curious? I thought you didn't want anything to do with Sesshomaru or anything with him included." She smirked.

Inuyasha stayed silent for a bit. "Feh! I don't! But this is my neice or nephew you know!"

Kagome laughed. "I know. I know. I'll call you later ok?"

"Feh." He said then in a softer tone said, "I miss you."

Kagomes eyes softened and she leaned against the wall. "I miss you too. See you this Christmas."

"Yeah. See ya."

"Love you. Bye." She hung up after he said bye and returned inside. "Any news?"

Sango and Miroku shook their heads. Then a few minutes later Sesshomaru walked out with a doctor. Sesshomaru looked beat. Sweat trickled down his neck and his hand was red, probably from Rin.

"She had it?" Sango asked as everyone stood up. Rin's parents were there also.

Sesshomaru grinned which surprised everyone and nodded. "It's a boy."

Kagome and Sango squeeled and jumped. "When can we see him? Can we see Rin? Is she okay?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru nodded. "She's fine. Rin will be transfered to a different room for you to visit her. The baby will be with her in seconds after it's all cleaned up and checked." The doctor said for him. Then they both went back to the room.

Kagome pulled out her cell phone forgetting it wasn't allowed and dialed Inuyashas number. She went into the gift shop and spoke.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Inuyasha! You have a nephew!" Kagome said excitedly.

A few seconds of silence went by. "Really?"

Kagome laughed. "Yes. It's a boy."

"Damn. Sweet." He said excitedly also. Just the thought of him having a nephew was enough as if it was his own child.

Kagome smiled. "I'm gonna go check up on Rin. Talk to you later."

"Alright. Bye."

She hung up and followed Sango and the others to Rins room. Once they went inside they saw Rin on the bed and Sesshomaru sitting next to her with a baby boy in his arms. The baby was wrapped in a light blue blanket and as Kagome got closer she could see the black hair on his head and a slight of gold from his half opened eyes. He sucked his tiny thumb while he stared at Sesshomaru.

"Congratulations!" Sango yelled and hugged Rin.

"Thanks." Rin said. She was still sweaty and tired from the delivery. Her mother came over and hugged her also.

"What are you going to name him?" Kagome asked as she held the baby boys tiny hand. His little hand wrapped around her thumb and held on tightly.

"Um...I was thinking...Katsuo." She looked to Sesshomaru for approval.

He nodded and looked down at his son. "Katsuo. Victorious child."

Rin smiled then winced when Katsuo started crying. Sesshomaru stood up from the chair and placed him in his mothers arms. Rin whispered soothing words and Katsuo stopped crying to stare at his mother in curiousity.

-Three and a half years later-

Three years later Inuyasha was on his way back home. Those three years went by quite fast for him and he got to graduate a year earlier than the others. Every break he would come to visit them. A lot has happened over the years. He watched during winter and spring and summer breaks as his nephew grew. Each time he came, Katsuo just seemed to get bigger and bigger. Kaede had retired and moved into the home like she said. Sadly though she had passed away a year ago after Kagome and the others had visited her. It was like she was holding on just to see them one last time. She had no children or grandchildren so they were the closest she had. Luckily she had lived an extra year and died peacefully in bed. It took a while for everyone to recover but they would visit her grave every now and then to put up new flowers and such. Inuyasha frowned as he remembered that he couldn't be there for her funeral. His professor had said he had been away for too long already. He sped down the street impatiently waiting until he reached his home. He had a car delivered to him at te airport so he could drive back. Arriving at his house he saw the lights on and a lot of shadows inside though the couldn't tell what they were. Leaving his bags in the trunk and just taking a few handbags with his he practically ran up the steps, eagerly to see his Kagome.

"Yo! I'm ba-" Inuyasha was cut off as a bunch of balloon came flying in his face as he opened the door to his house. "What the hell?"

"Surprise!" Everyone yelled.

Inuyasha pushed balloons out of his face and looked at everyone who was there. Kagome was approaching him in a tight red dress that was strapless and went down to her knees. She smiled brightly at him. Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Rin, Katsuo, and some friends from school were all there. He dropped his bags and held his arms open as Kagome jumped into them. He kissed her right away ignoring everyones 'aww's'.

"Supwise uncle Inu!" Three year old Katsuo yelled running up to his uncle.

Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and bent to catch his nephew. "Hey big man! What's up?"

"Supwise! Welcome home!" The boy said excitedly.

"Thanks buddy."

"Welcome home Inuyasha." Kagome said next to him holding onto his arm. Inuyasha set Katsuo on his feet as he ran back to his mother and then Inuyasha turned to wrap his arms around Kagome.

"What's all this for?" He asked.

"Well man. It was all Kagome's idea. She came up with the idea of having a surprise party when you came back. So how was New York?" Miroku asked.

"Great actually." Inuyasha said not really going into explanation. He was back home early since he finished college a year earlier than everyone else. He came back to Tokyo to find a job as a P.A in the hospital. Which meant he still had to work a lot but not as much as most doctors. He was taking two years of med school in Tokyo also.

"Where're your bags?" Miroku asked.

"In the car out front." Inuyasha said. "I'll get 'em later."

"Can we have cake now uncle Inu is here?" Katsuo asked.

Rin smiled and shook her head. "Not yet baby."

"But mommy!"

"If you be good we can have cake alright big man?" Inuyasha said.

"Okay uncle Inu!"

Inuyasha looked around and saw Kagome and Sango talking. Sango was smiling like something amazing had just happend and Kagome was smiling nervously. Miroku was talking to some people in the living room by the stereo. He sauntered over to Kagome and hugged her from behind. She jumped slightly then slapped him playfully for scaring her.

"Congratulations Inuyasha. You graduated before we all did." Sango said holding up a glass of champagne in her hand.

"Thanks." He said then looked down at Kagome. He was glad to be back home. Mostly to see his Kagome that he missed terribly while he was in New York. Though there hadn't been one night when he didn't call her and not one break where he didn't visit. She was his life, his need, his everything, and tonight...he was going to make it official. And since he was surprised with this surprise party, and everyone was here...it just made everything better. "Kagome." He whispered in her ear and grinned when her felt her shiver. "I've missed you so much." He whispered then nibbled her earlobe.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome gasped and closed her eyes. "Not...now..."

Inuyasha blew in her ear before pulling away from her. "I love you."

Kagome smiled almost nervously. "I love you too."

Inuyasha frowned and his eyebrows scrunched together. Why was she nervous? Did she know what he had planned? Did she know and was going to reject? She seemed to notice the change in his expression and smiled at him and tugged on his hand to bring him over to the middle of the room where other people were already dancing.

Late at night when all the world, is sleeping,
I stay up and think, of you,
And I wish on a star,
That somewhere you are, thinking of me too,

Inuyasha followed her to the dance floor as their song played over the speakers. He remembered exactly what this song represented and he would never forget it. Wrapping his arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck, he pulled her closer to place a light kiss on her lips.

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight,
Till tomarrow, I'll be holding you tight,
And there's nowhere in the world, I'd rather be,
Than here in my room, dreaming about, you and me

"You remember this song?" Kagome asked smiling sweetly after their shared kiss. Most of her nervouness went away but she still couldn't shake the feeling away.

Inuyasha grinned. "How could I forget this song?"

Kagomes smile widened as she was pulled closer to him. "How long ago was that?"

I wonder if you ever see me,
And I, wonder if you know I'm there,
If you looked in my eyes,
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care,

I just want to hold you close,
But so far, all I have are dreams of you,
So I wait for the day,
And the courage to say...

Inuyasha thought it over estimating in his head. "Well...it was a few months after I moved here...after me and you got together...after I saved you from your dad...after I told you I loved you...I'd say about five or six years."

"And I survived all these years with you?" Kagome teased.

"Hey!"

"Shh! This is it!" Kagome said remembering the part of the song that was special.

How much, I love you, yes I do,

Kagome sang along with the song as she looked in his eyes.

I'll be dreaming of you tonight,
Till tomarrow I'll be holding you tight,
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me


Late at night when all the world, is sleeping,
I stay up and think, of you, And I still can't believe,
That you came up to me and said,
I love you...I love you too


Inuyasha leaned into her and nuzzled her neck. Kagome continued to sing the song in his ear and giggled when his hands moved from her waist to her butt.

Now I'm dreaming of you tonight,
Till tomarrow and for all of my life,
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room, Dreaming with you, in my sleep

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room, Dreaming with you, in my sleep

"I'll always love you, my Kagome." Inuyasha whispered.

"I-I'll always love you Inuyasha." Kagome cursed herself when she stuttered and hoped he didn't notice.

To her bad luck he did and he pulled away a little to look at her. "Kagome?"

She smiled. "Yeah?"

"Why are you so nervous tonight? Your acting weird."

She brightened her smile. "I am? Sorry, I haven't realized it. I'm just happy that you're back I guess."

Inuyasha bought that and kissed her again. "Me too." Now it was his turn to be nervous. "Which is why I have something to ask you."

"Okay. What?" Kagome asked.

"It's important. Hold on." He let go of her and walked off to the stereo. He turned off the stereo and waited until everyone quieted down. Kagome watched him curiously. "Alright everyone." Some people were still talking. "I need everyone to be quiet." A few more talked. "Shut up!" He yelled irritated. That got everyone to shut up. "Ok! Like I said. I got something important to say. Kagome come here." He motioned with his hand.

Kagome walked over to him and took his outstretched hand. "What's going on?"

Inuyasha brought her over to where a large window was from floor to ceiling, up on three steps. Normally they would put the christmas tree there since it was like a very small stage. It was in the corner of the living room. He helped her up the steps and faced her. Everyone's eyes were on them now. He smiled nervously at her and took her hand after taking a deep breath.

"Kagome. We been together for...what...five years? We been through high school and college together. And you know I love you? You are my everything. Without you...I might as well be dead. You complete me..." He trailed off and reached in his pocket.

Kagomes eyes widened. "Inuyasha..."

After finding what he was looking for he bent on one knee and help out a dark red velvet box. "Kagome. I love you so much. I want to make this official." He opened the box and revealed a beautiful, breath taking diamond ring. A thin silver band with a large diamond shaped diamond in the middle, surrounded by other small diamonds on the side. "Will you marry me?"

Kagomes shaking hand came up to cover her mouth. Her eyes got teary and a few tears slid down out of joy. She was so happy. It felt like an eternity until she answered him but she had been waiting longer for this day to come. She already had her answer ready though she couldn't speak. She didn't trust her voice so instead she nodded as more tears of joy flowed down her cheeks.

Inuyasha let out the breath he didn't even know he was holding and got up to hug her. She immediatly jumped into his arms as he swung her around. Everyone clapped and said congratulations or some people even said 'about time!'. Inuyasha put her down and kissed her tenderly.

"Put the ring on already!" Sango yelled throwing a pillow at them.

Kagome laughed and stepped back for Inuyasha to take out of the ring from the box. She held out her shaking hand and smiled. Inuyasha didn't put the ring on her right away. He held it in his hand and handed it to her.

"I had this custom made. Read the inscription inside." He said.

Kagome took the ring and wiped her teary eyes. She read the inside of the ring. I love you. In beautiful script lettering.

"Now read the other side."

She flipped the ring and looked at the back. Always and forever. It said. More tears blurred her vision. She looked up at Inuyasha and hugged him tightly. "I love you." She whispered.

After the hug Inuyasha took back the ring and placed it on her finger. He looked at her finger for a while and grinned. He finally did it. It was official. Well not until the actual wedding but this was it. In a few months, maybe, he would finally be able to call her his wife. Everyone came up to congratulate them then went back to what they were doing. Inuyasha and Kagome danced a little more. He noticed she was happy but her nervousness was back.

"Ok. Mind telling me what's wrong?" He asked during a slow song again.

Kagome looked up at him confused and realized she had been biting her lip. "What?"

"You been acting nervous the whole night. Do you not want to marry me?" He asked hoping to god that wasn't it.

"No! It's not that. I love you. Of course I want to marry you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Then what is it?" He asked getting irritated but relieved that wasn't it.

"I also have something important to tell you..." She trailed off.

"Alright."

"You remember when you visited last month. Four weeks ago for spring break?"

Did he remember? How could he forget that break? They had had mind blowing sex for a full week! Excuse him for being a pervert. Maybe Miroku was rubbing off on him.He smirked. "Yeah."

Kagome didn't return the playfulness though. Instead she looked away and took a deep breath. then she looked back at him in his eyes. "Um...I forgot to take my pill a few days...and...I'm pregnant."
