Love Me as I Am

Chapter 7- Meet us at the Higurashi Shrine

Kagome scurried over to the phone, hurriedly grabbing it and almost knocking it off onto the floor.

She caught it and dialed the emergency number real quick.

"Hello. Yes. My friend Sango just went into labor. How many minutes apart? Uh…hold on."

Sango held up 7 fingers then gasped and continued her steady breathing.

"Seven minutes sir." Kagome told the person.

"We're at the Higurashi shrine. Yes. Thank you. Good bye." Kagome said, hanging up the phone.

Another small scream escaped Sango's lips. Her stomach clenched.

"Hold on Sango. They're almost here. The hospital's not far away."

Sango nodded.

Only a few minutes later the ambulance pulled into the driveway and two women came in with a stretcher and helped Sango get on.

"We've only got room for one extra person in the ambulance. Who's going with her?"

"Mir…o…ku…" she choked.

Kagome nodded at Miroku and he got in. Sango was pushed in after him.

Sango looked around at the inside of the ambulance. It was scary to be inside of a vehicle like that. There were tons of supplies and tools and she was afraid of all of them. Why couldn't she just have the baby in the feudal era?

Miroku held her hand and stroked her fingers, obviously worried to death about her.

She sighed.

"Miroku…I'll be fine--" she assured him, wincing.

To Miroku, that was the longest trip he'd ever taken. In reality it was only about a five-minute drive because the ambulance had the authority and right to speed and pass cars.

Sango was quickly moved into her own room.

Kagome woke up her mom and she drove everyone else to the hospital. To her it was as if Kagome was having another baby. Sango was like a daughter to her now. Inuyasha had tried to destroy the car at first but Kagome told him it wasn't a demon so he let it go.

Hurrying up the stairs to the hospital Kagome started to loose her breath. She was just about to take the elevator but Inuyasha stopped her, picking her up in his arms.

"Those things are too slow." He said, sprinting up the stairs.

He stopped at the front desk on the 4th floor.

"We're looking for Sango."

The nurse looked through her files.

"Has she got a last name?" she asked.

Kagome shook her head.

"Room 271, 3rd door on the left."

She nodded. Inuyasha had still not let her down.

He stopped by the door and put her down. She opened it and crept in, Inuyasha following. Everyone else took the elevator.

Miroku was sitting by Sango's bed in a chair. A doctor came in.

"We have no files on her." He said plainly.

'I'd like to see their reaction if we told them she existed 500 years ago.' Inuyasha thought. He left Kagome and went outside to wait in the waiting room. He didn't think he should be there. It wasn't his kid.

Bored he twiddled his fingers on one of the wood tables, his claws clicking against it.

'Geez. What the heck's takin' um so long?' he wondered.

Almost on cue, the doctor walked out. Kagome's mom stood up and talked to him in private.

Inuyasha's ears twitched as he listened.

"She's almost there. We've had to induce her labor though." The doctor told her.

She nodded.

"I know she'll do fine. She's a strong girl. Would it be all right if I went in?" she asked.

He nodded and they both left.

Suki climbed onto Inuyasha's lap.

"What's wrong daddy?" she asked, curious as to why he was acting so serious all of a sudden.

Inuyasha shook the thoughts out of his head.

"N-nothing."

Kanaye climbed onto Inuyasha's other leg and sat down next to Suki.

"Why are we here anyway?"

A broad smile crossed Suki's face.

"Auntie Sango is going to have a baby silly. We're going to have a new cousin."

"How do you know?"

She smiled more.

"Mommy told me."

~*~*~

Three instant ramens, four children's books, and a cup of coffee later, Kagome came into the waiting room and picked Suki up to give Inuyasha a break.

"She's beautiful." She told him.

"Go in and see her."

Inuyasha set Kanaye down on Kagome's lap after she had taken a seat and went into the room.

Sango had the baby in her arms wrapped up in a blanket with a tiny knitted cap on.

Miroku was touching the baby's cheek with his finger.

Kagome was right. She was beautiful.

Inuyasha stood by the bed, completely at a loss for words of wisdom.

Sango smiled up at him.

"Would you like to hold her?"

He nodded slowly and she handed the baby over. It was the twins all over again. He felt this indescribable joy running through him.

"What's her name?"

"Trinity."
