Chapter Seven: First Doctors Appointment

When Kagome had first come back from China, she had called the doctor and they had set up an appointment for when she was eight weeks, Miroku had decided that he would accompany her to the appointment so that she wouldn't have to go through it all by herself.

"Miroku, do I look fat?"

He looked at her, he didn't think she looked fat, but she was gaining quite a bit of weight for only eight weeks along. Instead of saying anything like that he just shook his head.

"No, you look just fine."

Kagome just shook her head and rested her hands on her belly, unfortunatley when she had returned to school the day before quite a few people had noticed that she had put on some weight and had mentioned it. She only pretended like she didn't care, saying that she had a big Christmas this year which in reality wasn't far from the truth. Though she couldn't wear the jeans that she normally would wear and so she resorted to one of her dresses for the day, which didn't help much, it showed her belly off just a little bit more. It wasn't a huge bump like she felt it was, it was just kinda...there. Luckily though, she was liking this stage that she was at because the naseau was residing a bit, though she felt exhausted after she did because she did would puke for a long period of time when she did.

"Kagome...Kagome Higurashi."

Finally her name had been called her and Miroku both stood up and walked back into the doctors office where Miroku was asked to stand outside so she could change into a gown...but she was allowed to keep her tights on so they could pull the gown up a bit to get to her belly. When they allowed Miroku back in he saw Kagome laying on the table with a gown on with her black tights still on.

"So eight weeks huh? Well you look a little bit further along than that."

Kagome shook her head, meaning to say that she felt like she was further along also.

"Well Kagome, my name is Dr. Boo, but you can call me Karen if you would like." She then turned to Miroku.

"You must be the father of this child."

"Oh no, ma'am, my name is Miroku...I'm just a good friend of hers, just helping her out. My wife was pregnant once..." Miroku's eyes cast down
.
"Well Kagome I have a few questions for you really quick before we do an ultrasound, to see how the baby is doing in there."

"Okay, Karen, what would you like to know because I have lots to tell."

"First off, morning sickness, it's normal but how are you handling it."

"Well at first it was really bad, I was in the bathroom at all hours of the night and the morning but now...I don't get it so often but when I do I can be in there for a good hour throwing up."

Karen took note of this with a sour face.

"That's not normal...well, not really normal but it doesn't mean anything is wrong with the pregnancy. Now like I said earlier you do look like you are further along than you claim to be, but I trust that...you seem to remember very well the day of conception. Well now, let's get to the sonogram, okay?"

Kagome shook her head and smiled at Miroku, but he could tell that she was nervous to see the baby, or what is going to be her baby. The doctor got out the gel that she would but on her stomach and rolled the gown Kagome was wearing up and squirted it on her stomach and pulled the machine over and put the cursor on her stomach. Turning on the machine she began to move the cursor around she put her finger on the screen.

"You see that, that's the heartbeat..s"

"What?"

"Well you see the heartbeat, seems strange as if there are..."
"What, what is it, is something wrong Karen?"

"No, no...nothing is wrong. It seems we have found out the reason for your unusually large belly...for the stage you are in. Kagome...you're having twins."

Kagome just about passed out, twins! She wasn't even expecting one child at first, and now...she has two on the way at the same time. And Miroku...he couldn't help it...he had to laugh a bit. The face Kagome had when she heard about twins, it looked as if she was going to die.

"Twins...oh no. How am I supposed to raise twins? Oh Miroku I wish Sango was here..."

Kagome layed her head back and closed her eyes...twins. Now what was she going to tell Inuyasha, if she told Inuyasha. Hey Inuyasha I'm having your first child, and it's not just one but two, twins!

-------------------------------------------
Stepping into the house and closing the door after Miroku, Kagome stopped in the hall and looked down at her protruding belly that you could see very well on her small petite body, and glared. Not just one but two babies were growing inside of her.

"Okay, you're both grounded right now, and it will last until you are eighteen. You want to know why? Because you are twins, who gave you permission to be twins, defianetly not me and your dad didn't because he doesn't even know about you."

"Kagome, stop talking mean to your kids!"

"What, I'm mad at them now! See if I sing to them again."

She went to go sit down in the recliner when her cell phone went off, and she retrieved it quickly from her purse. Looking at the caller id, it said Kikyo. That would be the first time she saw that name on her caller id in almost a month. She decided that maybe it was something nice that her sister wanted to say, because she didn't really need anything upsetting happening when she was going to be sitting down to do her homework.

"Hello?"

"Hey little sis, how are you?"

"I'm okay, I guess...how about you, you sound quite happy."

"Oh, I am happy, Inuyasha told me what you said before you left China. I love you for that, for cutting it off."

"Well I decided that I needed to move on, that I didn't care for him like that, and I felt that you two could still mend things. Like you said, he married you not me."

"Okay, Kagome."

"Is that all you called for, because I do have some homework that I need to get done, no offense but yea..."

"Oh, no it's okay. Oh but hey Kag?"

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to take you out to dinner sometime...when is a good time for you?"

"Oh, I don't know. What is today...the fifteenth of January right?"

"Yes...oh how about on the twenty sixth...I know it sounds so far away but me and Inuyasha are going to be busy in the next few weeks...we're trying to get pregnant you know?"

Pregnant...twins. Oh god she was having twins...but wait they weren't talking about her they were talking about Kikyo here...oh right she's supposed to say congratulations and good luck.

"Well, I'm happy for you, I wish you the best of luck. And the twenty sixth sounds good to me, just check back in with me ok? I will put it down in my calendar though ok?"

"Yes, and I will be checking you in on my PDA."

Right, your PDA. But Kagome was happy, she was glad that Kikyo was going to be spending more time with her husband, and has changed her mind about children.

"Hey Kikyo..."

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry...about everything."

"No, not now...we will talk about this over dinner when we get together okay?"

"Ok...I will see you then...goodbye."

Kagome then hung up the phone and stood back up so that she could go and retrieve her back pack from the guest room. She looked down at her belly as she walked up the stairs and decided that she would change also that way she could just cover up the 'bump'. She didn't care how small of a bump it was...it was still a bump that according to a single baby pregnancy shouldn't be there.

Coming back downstairs with her notebook and her book from the one class that she had homework in, in hand she felt much more comfortable in the baggy t-shirt that she was wearing along with a pair of stretchy shorts. She decided that she would do her homework in the dining room which was connected to the kitchen, and as she sat in one of the chairs she hear Miroku humming to himself as he was cooking their dinner.

"Hey big guy! Whatcha cooking?"

"Oh only your favorite...ramen."

He had to say it, Kagome shook her head as she slapped her hand over her mouth and stood up to run to the bathroom that was just outside of the kitchen in the hallway.

"I shouldn't have mentioned that...but she asked."

This time luckily Kagome's throw up session didn't last very long and she emerged from the bathroom after five minutes and resumed her seat and began on her homework.

"You got any crackers in that cabinet?"

"Sure do, you want some?"

Kagome shook her head yes as she read the questions at the end of the section that had been assigned in class, it was pretty easy she was confident that she would have this finished by the end of the hour. Miroku fetched the crackers from the cabinet though and sat down at the table with her and handed the crackers to her. She never ate a whole lot at once but she sure as hell always ate more than three times a day. Miroku just sat there eating his crackers while he watched Kagome do her homework when she slammed her pencil down on the table, he knew she was about to go on a rant about having twins. She had been doing it all day, ever since she found out at the doctors office. After the doctors office they had gone out to the store to grab some milk and brought it back, and she had stared at her belly in the restroom with tears in her eyes asking god how she could be having twins. The only time she had been quiet about it was when they went to the theatres to see The Nanny Diaries. Yes, it was a girly movie, but Kagome is scary pregnant so he decided that he would just go to make her happy.

She looked at him and she was amazed at how much he had been trying to help her, true she was only eight weeks along and he could kick her out at any time if he wanted, but he was the only one who knew that she was pregnant. She hadn't even called her mom to tell her yet. Truth be told, she was scared to tell her mom because Kikyo was her daughter too and she didn't want Kikyo to know that she was pregnant. The only thing that she had told her mother was that she was sorry for sleeping with Inuyasha, but her mother never held that against her and in a way thanked her because it seemed to open Kikyo's eyes to see the world her husband was living in.

"Do you think I'm going to be a bad mother?"

"Of course not!"

"Would you move with me, far away from here so that Inuyasha and Kikyo could never know."

"No, you're not moving. And if you plan on going out to eat with Kikyo in two weeks then you better find some clothes that hide that belly of yours because I'm sure you will be a little bit bigger by then too, but you realize that you're going to have to tell them sooner or later."

She was quiet for a moment and he could see a tear drop from her eye.

"I know, I'm just so scared. I don't want my sister to hate me forever."

Miroku stood up and went to her side and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. He even smoothed his hand over her long silky hair, he just wished that he could take away all the pain because he could only imagine what she felt like she was going through.

"It's okay, everything will be alright I promise."

Kagome shut her book and pulled away from him and stood up. She looked at him as she stood there, he wore his shoulder length black hair in a ponytail at the nape of his neck with strands loose that hung around his dark eyes, and he really was handsome and he was willing to comfort her when she really needed it. Not to mention he has never once told a soul of her secrets, especially this really big twin secret. And she smiled, smiled because she realized why she had said that she didn't love Inuyasha, because she honestly didn't, she had been developing underlying feelings for Miroku.

She was smiling at him, and it made him feel all warm inside. She really did have a million dollar smile, and her caring personality was going to make her a great doctor someday. And was it just his imagination or was she walking closer to him, no she really was.

Kagome approached Miroku and wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"I'm sorry for running off when you gave me that kiss."

He kissed her back letting her know that her apology was accepted and he knew that she was just in a big mess, and still is. He wanted her to know that he would always be there for her and he wanted to help out with these children of hers.

"You know how beautiful you look right now?"

"Oh shut up, I'm all swollen..."

"You're not that big, you have a little bump that holds your beautiful children."

She smiled, he always knew what to say and he always made everything, every little problem seem like absolutley nothing.

"Now, young lady you better get back to doing your homework if you ever want to become a doctor."

Laughing Kagome sat back down in her chair to finish her homework while Miroku left the room to go watch a little bit of his recorded shows on TiVo in the living room before he went to bed.

It had been an hour since they had their little talk and Kagome was up in her room sitting on the bed leaning against some pillows.

She was tracing circles around her belly button, for she had her shirt pushed up to right below her now slightly enlarged breasts, to touch her belly getting as close to her babies as she could, singing them to sleep.

Smiling she was excited for the next few weeks to go by, because from what she read in her baby book the second trimester is when she would be able to feel her babies move around.

"You two are really lucky I was in a good mood tonight, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to hear me sing tonight."

"I knew you wouldn't deprive them of your singing, you just love it, and you love those kids, even if you didn't want twins."

"Didn't want twins?! I didn't even want one, but I can deal with it, because I have you now...don't I?"

Miroku shook his head and smiled as he slinked his way over to the bed, he crawled in and grabbed her and began to tickle her. She was laughing when she screamed out.

"I have to go pee Miroku!"

"Sorry."

He let her go and she quickly got up and made her way to the bathroom that was connected to her bedroom. Miroku was so happy, now he felt like his life was complete...well almost. He had been feeling horrible about the way he felt for Kagome, because he thought she didn't feel the same way for him as he did for her, but apparently he had been wrong because she had revealed to him tonight that she wanted him to be in her life.

"AAAAA"

Kagome had screamed and it made him panic, so he got up and ran into the bathroom where she was at. When he barged in she had her underwear off looking at it and crying.

"What's wrong?"

"There is blood in my underwear, I'm pregnant, I'm not supposed to be bleeding! Miroku, I'm going to lose my babies!"

"Calm down Kagome, spotting is normal, and you just saw the doctor today and if they would have seen anything wrong they would have said something about it, gave you some precautions to go by."

He could tell that nothing he was saying was getting into her brain, so he did the only thing he could think of doing. He grabbed her and made shushing noises trying to comfort her and whispered into her ear.

"Let's just go to be and we'll call the doctor in the morning okay?"

"Okay..."
