Love Me as I Am

Chapter 3-The Stirring of Life

When Kagome and the others got back to the house the kids were waiting in the doorway. Suki's face was tearstained and Kagome's mom was holding her. She had been crying, thinking Kagome and Inuyasha had left her. She was still very young after all.

Kanaye stood next to his grandmother's leg.

Suki sniffed as she was handed over to Kagome. She hugged Kagome's chest.

"See sweetie? I told you she wasn't going to leave forever." Kagome's mom told her.

Kagome smiled and held her. Suki was apparently more human than she thought.

Inuyasha brushed past all of them and went into the house, taking a right and ending up in Kagome's room.

He sat on her bed.

Everyone was tired, though they really hadn't done anything in the class but pretend and practice how to breathe. Sango had oddly enough, become very good at it. Maybe it was her will power or the thought of starting a new family. Ever since her own family had been wiped out and Kohaku had been enslaved by Naraku, a family had been a dream of hers.

Sango sank down onto the couch in front of the TV, Miroku sitting next to her. She rested her head on his shoulder.

Sota turned off the television on his mother's order and left the two to sleep on the couch. It was only around 3:00 in the afternoon.

Kagome walked into her room. She smiled as she saw Inuyasha sleeping in her bed the walked over carefully, not making too much noise, and covered him with the blankets off her bed.

She ran her fingers over his forehead and through his shiny silver hair while he slept. She loved him so much. If only she knew he loved her back in the same way. She knew he had feelings for her somewhere in his heart or else, he wouldn't have stayed with her…right?

Kagome climbed in bed with Inuyasha and lay behind him against the wall. She put her arm around his middle and closed her eyes. He was so warm.

Suki soon laid on top of Kagome. She moved her arm so Suki could snuggle between her and Inuyasha.

Suki had been lonely. Kanaye was no fun when he was bored. Often times he and Sota would play together and she didn't like their boyish games. She was about as girly as you could get.

Inuyasha was almost pushed out of the bed as Kagome helped Suki crawl under the covers.

He opened one eye and rolled over. Suki was now laying against his partly bare chest. She was sleeping soundly. Inuyasha smiled and his eyes met Kagome's. Neither said anything for the longest time. They didn't need to. The flames of love and passion flickered violently in Inuyasha's eyes as well as Kagome's. There was no doubt in either of them that they loved each other, even after all these years.

Kagome moved her head closer to Inuyasha and laid against his neck. Over the span of being parents he had become more lenient with what kinds of affections he would allow in public. Such as holding hands. Anywhere else it didn't matter. He loved her just the same no matter where they were.

Miroku spread out on the couch. He was beginning to get a crick in his neck from sitting straight for so long. He laid Sango on top of him, which proved to be very difficult being as how she had gotten so big.

"I'm beginning to see what Inuyasha meant about Kagome being so big." He said.

"What's that?" she asked.

"His theory of the whales I call it."

Sango laughed and put her head on his chest.

"How are you feeling?" he asked concerned.

"All right…oh…" she said, stroking her sore abdomen.

"What is it?" he wondered.

She smiled.

"The baby's tap-dancing."

She put Miroku's hand on her stomach waiting for the baby to kick again. When it did she winced a bit but smiled when she saw Miroku's expression.
