Kagome and Inuyasha are stuck in another rainy situation that gets a little complicated.

Excerpt:
Kagome sighed as Inuyasha�s hands dropped to her shoulders, kneading the tense muscles. �The news just announced that the bridge is pretty much flooded so they�ve closed the road.�

Kagome shrugged and leaned her head back to look at him. �That�s fine, as long as I don�t go into labour. I have no intentions on leaving this chair for more then ten minutes at a time.�

Kagome groaned as she settled into a chair to watch the rain. Her back and legs were aching more then they had been for the past several months as the baby developed, and now with less then a week before her due date the ache had intensified to a continuous throb. Even though Inuyasha had been giving her massages daily, it only helped to alleviate the pain slightly.

She smiled as she watched the rain fall, thinking of all the times they had made lover while it was raining. She almost wished that she wasn't in so much pain so that they could do it again.

Not that Inuyasha hadn't found other ways to bring her pleasure. In fact the times that he had orally pleased her, it had helped to relieve her strained muscles for longer then a few minutes at a time. However the doctor's words haunted them as she drew closer to her due date.

“You can induce labour by orgasm.”

That was something neither of them wanted to experience.

Kagome sighed as Inuyasha's hands dropped to her shoulders, kneading the tense muscles. “The news just announced that the bridge is pretty much flooded so they've closed the road.”

Kagome shrugged and leaned her head back to look at him. “That's fine, as long as I don't go into labour. I have no intentions on leaving this chair for more then ten minutes at a time.”

Inuyasha smiled softly and crossed around to kneel in front of her. He rested his head on her lap, his ear swivelling towards her swollen belly to listen to the steady heartbeat of their baby. “How are you feeling?”

“Sore and fat, but I'm dealing with it.” She told him as she rubbed the base of his ears.

“I think you're beautiful.” Inuyasha said, his eyes drifting closed.

“You're biased.” Kagome sighed, shifting at a sudden twinge in her back. “Besides, you're my mate, you're supposed to say that remember?”

Kagome sighed as the familiar, uncomfortable sensation of her bladder being compressed reached her brain. She gently pushed at Inuyasha's head, making him move enough so that she could stand up. She groaned softly as a wave of unfamiliar pain washed over her, making her clutch her belly.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked.

Another wave hit her, making her cry out and start to fall to her knees. Inuyasha was at her side in an instant, his arms around her, catching her before she fell. “Inuyasha, I think the baby is coming.”

Inuyasha paled slightly, sniffing the air. He could smell a slight change in her scent, but he didn't understand what it meant. He helped her settle onto the floor and he jumped up to find the phone.

Kagome watched him run from the room with tears in her eyes. She felt like she was slowly being torn apart. Her mother said that it would hurt and that some women experienced more pain then others, but this was ridicules. Another wave of pain hit her and she felt something wet gush from between her legs, her water had broken, the baby was coming now.

Inuyasha winced at the sound of Kagome's pained scream as he re-entered the room. “I'm sorry Kagome, but with the roads being closed, the ambulance can't get here and we can't get out by car.”

“Please tell me that you're joking.” Kagome hissed out.

“I'm not joking.” Inuyasha replied. “I could always carry you on my back.”

“How about fuck no!”

Inuyasha had to bite his lip to keep from smirking at her, but if her glare told him anything, she had definitely seen his lips twitch in amusement.

“Think of it this way Kagome, if we were living in the feudal era, you'd have a mid wife to help you birth my sons.” Inuyasha teased her.

“First of all, we're having a girl, second of all this is not the feudal era and you're no fucking mid-wife.” Kagome spat out from between gritted teeth.

“Oh please, all I have to do is kneel between your legs and catch.”

Kagome's face flamed red. He wasn't sure if it was from pain, anger or embarrassment. “You between my legs is what got me into this position remember?”

Inuyasha's face softened and he moved around to sit behind her, snuggling her against him. “I'm sorry.”

Kagome wanted to kick herself. “Me too, but I really don't want to have the baby on the living room floor.”

“I know you don't, but unless I take you by piggy back or we call Sesshomaru and he takes you in energy form, we're screwed.”

Kagome nodded, “Maybe we should at least phone the hospital or something, they can at least talk you through this.”

The moment Inuyasha nodded in agreement the loft was plunged into darkness. “Oh, fuck.”

“Inuyasha please tell me that you remembered to buy a non-cordless phone like I asked you to.” Kagome didn't like his silence. “I hate you so much right now.”

“It's okay, I can do this, and we watched all those videos in your Lamaze class remember?”

Kagome's only answer was a scream of pain as the baby decided that the time had come for it to make an appearance. Inuyasha jumped to his feet and began collecting things that he remembered the video's telling them they might need in case of an emergency.

He returned to her side and gently raised her up so that he could put some pillows behind her back to keep her inclined. He dropped a kiss to her forehead as he helped her lay back against the pillows. Once that was done, he moved down to her hips. He lifted them easily in his hands and pulled on her jogging pants, pulling them down her legs. He slid a towel beneath her before he gently lowered her hips down to the ground.

Inuyasha's ears slammed against his head as Kagome once more screamed out in pain. He moved down and tossed the jogging pants away; rubbing Kagome's belly in what he hoped was a soothing manor.

“Everything's going to be okay right?” Kagome sobbed. “We can do this, can't we?”

Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and squeezed it tightly. “We can do this Kagome.” He told her. “I wish I could give you something for the pain though.”

Kagome grunted and bore down. She didn't know if she should be doing it so soon, but at this moment she wanted the kid out of her so the pain would stop. Inuyasha's fangs began worrying his lip as he looked down. He could already see the baby crowning, and became worried that it was all happening to fast.

Instead of saying anything to Kagome and worrying her more, he knelt down and lifted her legs to put her feet against his shoulders. “So I figure, all I really gotta do is catch right.”

Kagome was tempted to kick him in the face, but the pain of her next contraction did nothing but make her scream and cry harder. “Why the hell do women do this?” She hissed out through clenched teeth.

When Inuyasha said nothing, Kagome raised her eyes to look at him. He was staring intently between her legs, and he looked a little green. “I think I see its head.” He whispered softly.

Kagome gasped, No wonder I felt like I was being torn apart by that last one. She thought. Another wave of pain hit her and she braced her feet hard against Inuyasha's shoulders. She could feel him using his strength to push back so that she could brace herself properly against him.

Kagome could feel Inuyasha shift slightly under her feet, as he leaned in closer. “Okay Kagome, I think one more push should do it.”

“How the fuck would you know how many more pushes will do it?” She screamed out.

She was amazed at how the pain completely receded once the baby was out of her body. She collapsed back against the pillows, tears streaming down her face from both the pain and from happiness. She let her feet fall from Inuyasha's shoulders and watched as he carefully cut a thin membrane off their daughter's tiny ears with his claw. He cleaned the baby off as she stared up at him, something akin to amazement on her tiny face.

“Is she alright?” Kagome asked. “She isn't crying.”

Inuyasha wrapped the baby up in a blanket and moved closer to Kagome. “She's fine. In fact, she's gorgeous, just like her mama.”

Kagome smiled and took her daughter. “You're sure she's alright? That seemed to be fast.”

Inuyasha chuckled and made a big show of sniffing their daughter. “Aside from the fact that she kind of stinks.”

Their daughter apparently didn't like the fact that her father thought she stank and hit him in the nose with her tiny fist before her face bunched up and she let out a loud howl. Kagome laughed at the look on his face and cuddled her closer.

“That'll teach you.” She teased him slightly.

“Feh.” Inuyasha said, moving closer to Kagome, cuddling her to their chest. “If it will make you feel better, we'll take her to the hospital as soon as the rain lets up and we can get out.”

Kagome smiled and leaned against him. “I love you.” She pulled back when she felt wetness drip onto her cheek. “Why are you crying?”

Inuyasha ducked his head and wiped at his tears. “Because you gave me a little girl that I can love as much as I love you.”

Kagome smiled at that thought and let her eyes drift closed, knowing Inuyasha would protect them while she slept.

AN: Okay so really long time coming. I wrote, re wrote and then re wrote this chapter dozens of times. Then had my computer crash and lost it. Then writers block as I tried to remember what I had wrote. Needless to say, this chapter was a real pain in the ass to come out.

There are only one or two more chapters left in this story. I had a few requests to continue the story of their child, much like Sueric has done. But I doubt I will write it. Not because I don't want to, but more out of respect for Sueric. I don't want to take her idea away from her. Though with enough requests who knows. I do have some new things to put up. Stuff that I've been working on over the past couple of months that are just waiting to be typed out.

I'm also still open for requests or challenges if anyone has any!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters of Rumiko Takahashi. I do own the plot of this story along with any original characters that may make an appearance.
