“Are you comfortable?”
“I'm fine.”
“Do you need anything?”
“No.”
“You hungry?”
“I just told you that I don't need anything.”
“How's your stomach?”
“Fine, I haven't been sick for like a week.”
“Is the baby okay?”
Inuyasha ducked the pillow that was thrown at his head. “Inuyasha, I've been pregnant for less then a month, Hanyou or not, the kid isn't doing much!” Kagome shouted, frustrated.
Two minutes after he found out that Kagome was pregnant she was sitting in a chair and he had become her “beckon/call” boy. He also insisted that she move from Sesshomaru's to his loft, insisting that the Youkai wouldn't take proper care of her.
She actually didn't mind living with him. He allowed Rin to come over to continue her lessons, provided that Kagome would lie down if it became too much. He also took time out of his schedule to make sure she was comfortable. Kohana had warned her that because of the quick development of the baby, her muscles would become sore easily. Because of this he was more than happy to give her a massage to relieve the pain.
The downside? Kagome's hormones were firing off faster then a firing squad. Inuyasha had to learn quickly that she could go from laughing to crying to beating him with a pillow, and when that happened he had to learn how to think fast. Kagome also became, as Miroku called it, “Uber Horny”. Unfortunately she had yet to convince Inuyasha that, yes; it was safe for them to have sex while she was pregnant.
Kagome was sitting at the table with Rin, rubbing her tired eyes and trying to ignore the familiar ache of wanting to be intimate with her mate. “Kagome, are you alright?” Rin's voice interrupted her thoughts of what she would do to the Hanyou if she ever convinced him that it was okay, and he wouldn't hurt the baby.
“I'm fine Rin, just a little tired.” Kagome lied.
Rin eyed her “aunt” cautiously before leaning back in her chair. “Inuyasha's still holdin' out on ya isn't he?”
Kagome choked on the mouthful of water she had just taken in. “What did you say?”
“Well Miroku keeps talking about how women's hormones flare up when they're pregnant and it makes them crave sex more often. My guess is that Uncle Inuyasha is too stubborn to believe he wouldn't be hurting the baby.”
Kagome stared at the girl, her jaw hanging open in shock. “You are forbidden to be anywhere near Miroku when you are alone!” Kagome snapped. “I'm going to tell your father!”
Rin giggled and began to pack up her books. Only when Kagome was really upset did she refer to Sesshomaru as Rin's father. “Jaken should be outside, so I'm going to go home now. Maybe you should show Inuyasha some of those educational tapes on mating that I know you have stashed away to show me when we cover sex ed.”
Kagome smirked and crossed her arms over her chest as she walked the girl to the front door. “Well I obviously don't need to show them to you since Miroku has covered the sex talk.”
Rin giggled and waved her farewell to Kagome. Kagome sighed and closed the door behind, slowly making her way to the kitchen. She ran the tap to freshen her water when a circled date on the calendar caught her attention.
“Shit!”

Inuyasha jumped away from the door as Kagome flung it open. “Where's the fire?”
“I have my ultra-sound today and I completely forgot!” She said, trying to shove past him.
Inuyasha grabbed her arm gently. “I knew that you had one, hence why I left work early to drive you.”
“But it's in five minutes!” Kagome said, her breath becoming laboured.
“Kagome, relax!” Inuyasha insisted. “The appointment was pushed back 45 minutes.”
Kagome let out an audible sigh of relief and allowed Inuyasha to tuck her under his arm and lead her out to the car. She relaxed into the cool leather of the interior of his car and turned the air conditioner towards her. She smirked as Inuyasha pulled away from the curb. He had started driving more responsibly when he found out that she was pregnant.
It didn't take them long to get to the doctors office. Inuyasha ran around to her side of the car to help her out. “You better keep doing this when I'm too big to see my feet!” She told him.
Inuyasha chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist, his fingers brushing against the mark on her hip. Kagome mentally groaned and cursed her body. Inuyasha's head snapped towards her when the scent of her arousal caught his nose. Kagome's face was dusted with a light pink and she refused to meet his eye.
Inuyasha sighed as they finally reached the office. He sat down while Kagome went to the counter. It wasn't that he didn't want to have sex with Kagome, if anything he wanted her now more than ever, but he was so paranoid about somehow hurting the baby.
Kagome sat down beside him and nervously played with her fingers. She wasn't sure why she was nervous, it was a routine check-up and Sesshomaru had been sure to get her a Youkai doctor, meaning that her questions would be answered much easily then a human doctor.
Inuyasha reached over and picked up her hand, stopping her fidgeting. “Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine!”
Kagome shot him a nasty glare and began fidgeting again. She was starting to drive Inuyasha insane, luckily a nurse appeared and called Kagome's name, saving them from an argument. Inuyasha followed Kagome into the room and watched as she changed into the paper gown the nurse left out for her.
“Must you stare at me?”
“Why shouldn't I stare at you, you're my mate and I find you dead sexy right now.”
Before Kagome could say anything the doctor came in. Figures, they usually take forever and the one time I can tell him off the doctor comes in. Kagome thought as she laid back for her exam. Inuyasha sat down on a stool beside her as the doctor began taking a look. He didn't particularly enjoy the fact that Kagome looked uncomfortable, but he was happy that the doctor was a female.
“Well everything looks good. My main concern was that you might have an infection, which can happen in Hanyou pregnancies. Because of the fast growth rate the uterine tissue can stretch to the point where it may tear and you can get a pretty nasty infection.” The doctor said taking off her gloves. “Let's take an ultra-sound and take a look at the baby!”
Kagome's stomach muscles jumped when the cold gel was poured onto her skin. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and squeezed it anxiously as the doctor started up the monitor and the first sounds of their baby's heartbeat filled the room.
Kagome smiled up at Inuyasha, her face flushed with excitement, her eyes bright. Inuyasha leaned down and pressed his lips hard to hers, tears swimming in his eyes. “Now normally I would ask if you want to know the sex of the baby, but he's kind of mooning us.”
Kagome glanced at the monitor and laughed, “Sounds like he's definitely yours.” She teased Inuyasha as the doctor wiped her stomach clean.
“Keh, like there was ever any doubt.”
The doctor helped Kagome to sit up and wrote a few things down on her chart. “Before I leave, do you have any questions?”
Inuyasha shook his head but Kagome waved her hand slightly. “Yeah, can we still have sex? Cause he's convinced we can't.”
The doctor laughed as Inuyasha's face turned a lovely shade of scarlet. “That's a common question. Yes you can still have sex. Because you're stomach isn't that big you can still do missionary, as the baby develops you'll have to find other positions to be comfortable for you.” The woman informed them. “Also the closer that you get to your due date you can actually induce labour by orgasm.”
Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed at that thought, making the doctor laugh. “If you don't have any other questions, make an appointment with one of the nurses for your next check up.”
The doctor left and Kagome climbed off the table to get dressed. Inuyasha waited patiently for her to turn around before dragging her lips to his in a heated kiss. “What was that for?” Kagome asked.
“To get you to agree to go right home and make up for lost time.”
Kagome's mouth curled into a sexy grin. “You're on dog boy.”

AN: I know this chapter has been a long time coming. Life has been a living hell and hasn't left me much time to do much of anything, but tonight I really really needed to write just to let my mind be free of worries and all that.
Someone nominated I'm Looking In for the best Inuyasha characterization in the IY Fan fiction Guild. Whoever it was I thank you from the bottom of my heart, that news brought a big ray of sunshine to my dark times. Thanks to all you guys who love this story, you're the reason why I write!
Also someone wrote me an email asking why my “mating rituals” weren't the same as Sueric's. Well the answer is because Sueric and I are two completely different people. I absolutely adore Sueric's work and I think her concept of the Youkai mating ritual's are awesome, however she and I have a completely different writing style, as all author's do.
I'm going to try and update again soon, but I can't promise anything!
