Prompt: Pregnancy Scare

Words: 508

Kagome was in a panic, pacing back and forth like a lunatic in their bedroom. She looked over to Sesshomaru and recounted their latest conversation. Apparently, Kagome found that she maybe “sorta-kinda-a little late”. So you know what that means…a rush order to a pharmacy for a pregnancy test. Sesshomaru that poor guy was at odds at what to do.

Kagome on the other hand was nervous for a different reason. She knew that because she was human and he was a demon that their child could be, or would be, ridiculed for what it was like Sesshomaru's brother- or even worse. There had been cases when a miko fell in love with a demon and she baring a child for her demon lover, the chances of it being dead, or close to it, before or during delivery were one in a hundred. Kagome stilled in her pacing and thought about those odds and the slim chance that it may happen to them. She placed a quaking hand on her tummy as tears started to weal up in her eyes. “Sesshomaru, what if I am….”

Sesshomaru walked toward her and placed his arms around her. “I will love it no matter what-”

“No, I know you will but, since you're a demon and I'm a priestess, my body may try to kill it and I…” Kagome was cut off by a kiss on her forehead and a tight embrace.

“I know of the chances, and I'll take my chances to make you happy.” As she cried in his arms, he led her to their bed and rocked her to sleep, patting her head and soothing her best he could for the time being. His heart broke at the thought of the fact he may inadvertently cause her or anything they make harm. The timer for the test went off and Sesshomaru went to the bathroom to check on the test, and with a bated breath, he looked at the test and smiled a small smile. The test was negative. He slid down the wall to the floor- his heart wrenched. Was he happy about the outcome or did the thought of him being a father excites him. He double checked the box and made sure he didn't misread the label; sure enough the answer was the same. Getting off the floor, he walked to the bed and laid down next to Kagome and buried his head in her neck as sleep took him as well.

Kagome woke up before Sesshomaru and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She didn't really want to know the results, the fact that she could be a mother terrified her because of what could happen. Don't get her wrong she would love being a mother, but she couldn't handle the idea of the fact that she may inadvertently cause harm to their child terrified her.

Her thoughts escalated, and before she knew it, dinner was cooked, sitting on plates at the dinner table as she and Sesshomaru were eating in silence.

Sorry for the delay, I wasn't sure if you guys would like this chapter because of its darker content, and nervous to put it up but a friend of mine reassured me it was ok. I still hope you guys liked it and I'm working on the next chapter so be on the lookout…hopefully it will be out before I start school in the spring.
