InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Baby Love ❯ Labor Pains ( Chapter 14 )

A/N: Hi you guys I am currently sitting on a plane next to Matt, because his parents were kind enough to want to sit next to my parents and talk about whatever it is that parents discuss, and a yammering little girl I am afraid to admit is any relation of mine. Matt is like knocked out from the desert dry peanuts of the skies so I borrowed dad's laptop again and here I am writing. Soon my dear readers I shall once again set foot on the land that is known for it's non-mad cow diseased beef and fries. WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I was about to kill for a regular squashed up Mickey D's burger. Yummy.

 

Chapter 15

 

Inuyasha was awoken by the feeling of sharp raps against his head. Slitting his eyes open, he came face to face with a luscious bounty of breast. Since the second month of her pregnancy Kagome had taken to sleeping in the nude saying it was more comfortable. He wasn't complaining, with pregnancy, he'd noticed came a lot of gently rounding curves that his hand were itching to run over. Brushing the hand off his head and bringing it gently to his lips he kissed it in a random display of affection, as he moved to kiss his wife.

“What are you doing? I wanted you to move.” Her voice was as tense as a bowstring in his ear, and he moved swiftly to the side to allow her free passage. Watching the sway of her hips as she grabbed her robe and then headed to the closet, Inuyasha wondered briefly what had gotten into his wife.

She's been acting that way for the past two weeks!

The sound of her calling his name snapped him back to attention.

“What.” He snapped suddenly losing the patience he'd been holding on to.

Her reply was just as snippy. “If you're done day-dreaming, get up and go get your son, he's wailing in there!”

Getting up slowly and grapping his robe, Inuyasha pushed open the connecting door and walked over to the crib his son was currently trying to climb out of. Sighing Inuyasha grabbed him and pulled him close. Sixth months old and already trying to escape.

“Where would you have gone, when you got out, little man? you need to know how to walk to explore the world.” Inuyasha felt the smile in his voice as he looked down at his pride. Little Inu, might not have come from his flesh but he was still his firstborn son.

“I'm headed over to Sango and Miroku's to do some sewing, okay?” Kagome walked briskly into the room and held out her arms to Little Inu who crawled happily into them.

“Mama's going to go visit you're Auntie today, but when I get home we can play all day, okay Pumpkin?” Her voice, Inuyasha noticed had mellowed out tons since he'd awoken. Watching her brush a good-bye kiss against the baby's forehead, he held out his arms and she willingly stepped into them. It was one of the rules of the house: don't leave angry, you don't know if you'll see them again.

Walking her to the door and instructing her to use the quickest route he watched her until she was out of sight then closed the door.

Turning to the baby in his arms he heaved a sigh, then said: “This is going to be a long nine months.”

 

Four Months Later

 

Inuyasha's face was creased into a permanent smile. No matter how hard he tried to get it off it stuck like Shippo. Today he'd felt his baby move. He would remember this day forever.

He, Kagome and the baby had gone for a walk. They were watching Little Inu move his chubby little legs as fast as he could to chase after a butterfly that he'd noticed, when Kagome had stopped and gripped his hand tightly. Fearing something was wrong he'd grabbed Little Inu by his collar and was about to pick Kagome up and head towards Kaede and help when she'd started laughing. Confused and worried he'd asked what was wrong. In reply she'd shaken her head, grabbed his hand and placed it flat on the stomach she so often complained made her look like a whale. At first he'd been puzzled, but then he'd felt the slight fluttering beneath his hand. He remembered looking at his mate, wide-eyed and wonder-filled and asking in whispered tones: “Is that…?”

Her beaming yes had prompted him to drop to his knees and place a sound kiss on her stomach and then her lips. She'd cried for two hours after that, and then had rushed off to tell Sango and the others.

Glancing out the window to check what time it was, Inuyasha stiffened momentarily at the smell of his brother waiting outside the front door.

“Come on in!” he called, and waited for Sesshomaru to find him in the library.

“Why such a large smile brother?” Sesshomaru questioned upon his entrance.

“Kagome and I are having a pup…”

His words were cut off by the spray of sake Sesshomaru had involuntarily expelled.

“So soon? You must have worked like a madman to achieve those results out of two days!” his voice suggested how incredulous he felt at the moment

“Anyway,” Inuyasha continued wryly “ today on our walk with the baby we noticed that our little one was kicking for the first time. It was incredible. It erased all the little doubts I had lagging in my mind with one touch.”

S esshomaru's next comment was interrupted by a loud squeal and a tug on his hair by the ever creepy little boy, he'd come to call nephew.

“Uncle Fluffy!!”

Sesshomaru shot his brother a death glare at the snicker that was coming from his lips. Before picking up the rambunctious little boy and offering him a small piece of tree bark to chew on.

“I just came to inform you that Rin will be spending the night here as I have business to take care of. I dropped her off at the exterminator's with your wife.”

At Inuyasha's nod of acceptance, he passed the boy back to his father and walked out of the house.

 

Two and a half Months Later

 

Kagome woke in the middle of the night to feel a hard pressing against her stomach. It disappeared as soon as it came and she paid it no attention. She awoke again to a much harder push about two hours later. The pain that rolled with this pressure had her nudging Inuyasha who woke immediately.

“What's wrong?” He asked flipping on the lamp, next to the bed.

“Inuyasha I think you should head into the village and get Kaede and Sango and tell them that it's time.”

Sitting in shock for a few minutes Inuyasha felt a sudden elation run through him. It was time! He would soon be a father again! Making sure that she would be okay without him he bounded swiftly through the trees, landing in front of Sango's door on his final leap. After alerting her to the fact that it was time and watching her depart with Miroku and Kirara on her heels, he headed over to Kaede's hut and roused the old woman from her sleep. Arriving back at the house in a matter of minutes he opened the door to see Kagome being helped by Sango into a different gown. The hours passed steadily and Inuyasha never left her side. Occasionally he would rub her back and legs and gave her sips of water between contractions. Suddenly she nodded to Sango and Kaede who positioned themselves between her legs. Hearing the cue to push Inuyasha automatically pushed her higher up onto the bed to make the job easier. This stage lasted only a about forty-five minutes with Inuyasha growing increasingly alarmed by the bellows Kagome was issuing. Suddenly he felt her body tighten up beneath his hand and heard Sango say: “OK Kagome this is it, do your worst!”

Kagome's yell nearly tore out his eardrums, but a sudden angry cry made him forget all about that.

She was beautiful he decided gazing down at his sleeping wife and daughter with his son held securely in his arms. The others were camped out in various places in the house to exhausted to go home. Brushing aside a small flip of hair as dark as her mother's he jerked in surprise when he felt little claws prick his finger. Dragging his gaze down to her face he noticed that her big golden saucers were wide open and staring at him in much the same way Little Inu had on that night so long ago. So absorbed was he in his daughter that he did not notice his wife's eyes on him until she whispered for him to come to bed. Nodding he gently cradled his daughter against his chest as he walked into the nursery placing both she and her brother in the cradles designed for them. Walking back into his bedroom, and wrapping his form around his wife's he heard her murmur in his ear: “Thank You.”

Kissing her forehead softly he whispered in return: “Thank You”

 

And there you have it nine months and a labor wrapped up into three pages of small talk. That have a beautiful daughter who will be named in the next chapter which is epilogue 1 just so you all know.
