Consequences

 

Kagome hurried after Rin. She knew something was up because InuYasha had sent her after her sister-in-law with a scowl.

 

“Rin? Rin!” she called as she tried to catch up. The young pregnant woman stopped but did not turn around.

 

The miko caught up with her, panting. “Rin, what happened?”

 

Rin sobbed. “He doesn't want our child. I thought… I didn't plan… it just happened…”

 

Kagome took her hand between her own. “Whatever gave you that idea? Why do you think Sesshomaru doesn't want your baby?”

 

“You didn't hear him,” she whispered, looking at the ground. “He called his own brother hanyou.”

 

Kagome wiped Rin's tears away and smiled. “Oh, Rin, he's been calling him that for ages. They don't hate each other - they're just in the bad habit of calling each other names. I've had to get on to InuYasha for calling your husband names because our son picked it up. I don't think Sesshomaru was amused when Kazuki called him `Uncle Bastard'.”

 

That made Rin giggle.

 

Kagome's hands rubbed her own rounded belly. “Believe me, when Sesshomaru did what he did with you, he knew the end result was that you would become pregnant. It was his choice, whether you planned it or not.”

 

“But I did plan it, in a way,” Rin admitted. “Remember? You helped me. The picnic was your idea.”

 

“If he didn't want to be with you, it wouldn't have worked,” Kagome responded. “He's as dense as InuYasha when it comes to a woman's feelings. But you really can't blame either of them. InuYasha had to practically raise himself, and Sesshomaru is youkai and doesn't have human feelings. Heck, even human men have a hard time understanding what women want.

 

“Don't take your husband's words to InuYasha to heart. He may not have told you, but the reason we're here is because he asked us to come,” Kagome said.

 

Rin's eyes widened. “What?”

 

“He was worried about you, even though you're in this castle with a human staff to serve you. He wanted someone you both knew and trusted to help you through the pregnancy and childbirth. He also knew he got the whole package with me - InuYasha, Kazuki, and my baby when it comes.”

 

She turned Rin to face her approaching husband. “I'm going to leave you two to talk.”

 

“Fix it,” Kagome hissed as she passed Sesshomaru.

 

He stopped. “Rin.”
