Love

Chapter Eight: Restricted

"Spotting is quite normal in the first trimester, though the first trimester is when most first time mothers are most likely to miscarriage...you shouldn't worry too much when you spot, but if you ever bleed it's always a good thing to come to me so that we can check just to make sure. Confidence is easier to have when you're backed up by a doctor's reassurance."

Kagome sat there with her hands on her stomach, nodding her head. Miroku would have came with her that morning but he needed to go to work, and it was a thursday so she didn't have any classes to go to. She was just happy that everything was fine with her babies, they were very healthy and had quite strong heartbeats.

"Now though, just because spotting is normal doesn't mean that you aren't going to have some guidelines to go by until you are into the very beginning of you second trimester."

"That's fine, what is it though?"

"Well this pregnancy takes place in the belly area and the pelvic area, which now you are on pelvic rest...so no sex."

Kagome almost laughed, like that would really be a problem.

"That's fine...I thought you were going to tell me that I couldn't go to school. Hahaha."

Dr. Boo smiled at Kagome and shook her hand as she left the room.

"Now I'll see you in two weeks when you're ten weeks okay?"

"Okay." Kagome smiled and grabbed her purse as she walked out of the room and into the hallway and she could hear her heels echo through the hallway and she smiled. She was just happy that everything was fine, and today she actually wanted to show her belly off a bit so she wore another dress, this one was white and reached two inches above her thighs and the sleeves were long and at the elbow they fanned out like bells. Her hair was left down and she had straightened it this morning before she came into the doctor's. She had called two days ago, but they had scheduled the appointment for two days later because they weren't too worried and Dr. Boo was booked for the past two days.

She walked into the opposite hallway and stopped at the desk where the receptionist that she had left her coat with was stationed. Tapping on the counter she gave the woman a warm smile and mouthed a thank you while she grabbed her black fur coat and draped it over her arm. When she walked through the doors into the waiting room she stopped to pull her long hair over her shoulder and tie it there with a hair tie. She smoothed her hair out as she then realized that it reached down to her belly button.

Once she was in the elevator she put her coat on and slung her purse strap over her neck so that she wouldn't have to hold onto it constantly. The elevator stopped on the first floor and she stepped out into the lobby and stood close to the doors that lead to the outside as she dug her cell phone out of her purse to call a cabbie. She had the cab company on speed dial that way she didn't have to stand on the curb trying to flag one down. Normally she would just drive her car but she didn't want to drive herself in the city, she would only drive in the suburbs, where she lived.

It only took a minute for a cab to stop in front of the office building and smiling she walked out the doors and opened the cab door and slid in. She was really happy today and it was strange, just yesterday she had been miserable. During her anatomy class at the college she had left the room at least three times to throw up, and once she spewed on the teachers shoes. She felt horrible, after class though she tried to apologize to Mr. Totosai, but he wouldn't have it, he knew she was pregnant and there really wasn't anything that she could do about it, he was just happy that she still managed to make it to class everytime.

Sitting in the cab she told him where she needed to go, she wasn't having him take her all the way to the suburbs and home, because that she wasn't willing to pay for. She would drive herself to the little cafe between the city and the suburbs and park and then call a cab to come get her. Well the cab was only a couple blocks away when her cell phone went off, and it was default ringer, which meant it wasn't somebody that normally called her, or at least called her cell phone. Digging her phone back out of her purse she saw the caller id said...Rin. A smile spread across her face, she hadn't talked to her in a long time hell she didn't think Inuyasha talked to her that much and she was married to his brother.

Quickly she picked up the phone and dropped a twenty into the front seat that way she wouldn't have to stop her conversation when they stopped at the cafe.

"Oh my goodness...I haven't talked to you in forever!"

"I know! That's why I called...well okay, I lied that's not why I called."

"Well thanks, what do you want then, because if you're not calling to just talk then you must want something."

"I want to see you, that's what."

Kagome opened the cab door as it stopped and she mouthed to the drive to keep the change from her twenty and closed the door behind her as she walked towards her car and leaned against it to continue her conversation with Rin.

"Well, Rin. I'm not going to fly my happy ass all the way to Minnesota. I flew to China over Christmas break and I'm done with flying for another couple of years."

"No silly. I'm in town, Sesshomaru and I are in town visiting. Besides he heard that Kikyo and Inuyasha had gone through a rough patch so he decided to come back to spend a little time with his brother."

"Inuyasha isn't going to move to Minnesota to work for Sesshomaru, he and Kikyo are trying to get pregnant now, they patched everything up. And in a sense it's thanks to my doing."

"Oh really..."

"Yeah, but I really don't want to talk about it right now."

"Well that's okay, because we can talk about it when I come to see you."

"I don't live with Kouga anymore though, we kinda broke up and now I'm staying with Miroku because I didn't want to be a burden on my mother, because she's already a little frail. And you can come see me as long as you call ahead of time that way I can make sure everything is perfect for you and Sesshomaru."

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about Sesshomaru for, because, my little Sesshy is taking his little brother out tonight in fact he's already left and when I come see you it'll be all by myself."

"That's fine but I would still like a few hours notice, or even fifteen! Okay?"

"Okay...I'll see you later then. Love!"

"Love!"

Kagome snapped her phone shut and shoved it back into her purse and dug out her keys, pushing the button to unlock the car. Opening the door she slid herself in and quickly turned the car on and thankfully the heater was still quite warm and the air just blasted into her face and around her making her feel quite snug. Today was perfect that is how she felt, everything was fine with her babies, she was feeling quite radiant, and her other best friend was in town to see her.

Driving along she switched through the stations trying to find a song that she would want to let her little babies listen to, she really didn't want to hear any caca bull crap herself let alone let her kids hear bad taste and think it's cool. She was almost home when finally she found a song that she actually liked. She was about to change the channel when she heard the beginning of it and instead she cranked it up and began to enjoy herself.

Kagome was singing to her steering wheel and just loving her feelings, enjoying being herself for a change. Acting like absolutley nothing was wrong in her life, she had two babies on their way and right now she was actually excited!

"Babies, do you hear this song? This is mommy's all time favorite song...of the day!"

Kagome pulled into the drive way of her home, the home she shared with Miroku...who you could call her new 'boyfriend'. She immediatley shut the car off and climbed out locking the doors by pushing the button on her key chain as she walked up the walk to the front door where she fumbled with her house key, and she finally got it in and unlocked the door and walked in. Once in the house she hung her keys on the key rack next to the door and locked the door back up. Then she took her purse and set it down on the desk that was cattied across from the staircase in the hallway, and then she hung her coat on the coat hanger that stood next to the desk. Quickly she stopped and pulled her cell and her newly bought PDA out of her purse and walked into the living room and sat down on the couch as she fumbled for the t.v. remote that sat on the coffee table.

She layed her phone and PDA out on the coffee table as the flicked the t.v. on and went over in her head whether or not she had homework today, and luckily she didn't, she had managed to get it all done when she was at the library yesterday. As she finally focused on the television she saw that her favorite show, The Real World was playing. She smiled and began to relax.

Her relaxation was short lived, fifteen minutes into the show there was a knock at the front door and she rolled her eyes wondering who could possibly be at the door. Shutting the t.v. off she stood up and walked to the front door and smoothed her dress back out. Opening the door she was shocked, it was Rin, she couldn't help it she screamed. Automatically Rin's hands shot to her ears as she too screamed at seeing her best girlfriend.

"Come in girl..come in, it's cold outside."

Rin stepped into the house as Kagome shut the door behind her and they both walked into the living room after removing Rin's coat. A moment went by where none of them said anything, Kagome just simply stared at her friend, she looked gorgeous. Rin was about the same height as she was and she was wearing a pair of levi jeans with a white t-shirt. And now and days she was wearing her hair short, to her shoulders to be exact.

And for a moment she could see that Rin was bitting her lip, which meant she was thinking.

"Turn around please."

Kagome did as she was told and when she had completed a circle she stopped.

"Uh huh...just as I thought."

"What? What's just as you thought?"

"You gained some weight my dear friend!"

"Oh..." Kagome quickly turned and walked towards the kitchen, she need to get some crackers because she was beginning to get a little nauseas and she needed to get away from her friend for a moment. But unfortunatley she followed.

"I'm sorry did I strike a nerve?"

"No..."

"Well anyway...so what exactly was going on between Kikyo and Inuyasha in the first place...did she find out about you and him?"

"Yes, but the thing is he left her for a bit because she had told him that she didn't want to have kids..."

"But you said they were trying to get pregnant now!"

"Yea, only because he left her and went to China for a bit with me...so she decided that she needed to do a little changing and now she's ready to give up her modeling for a bit to spend more time with him and start a family. And when we were in China, he told me that he loved me and I think he was going to ask me to marry him too."

"Well that's great, I thought that's what you wanted...sort of."

"But when he said it, it sank in and I realized...that I didn't love him...I thought I did but I don't. And I told him that, and I told him to go back to Kikyo and that I was going back to the states early. And now here I am. Kouga had also found out about us that's why we aren't together."

"That's okay, I never really liked the guy anyway..."

"But the great thing is that Miroku and I are trying it out now..."

"Wow...I would have never thought..."

Kagome didn't even get to say anything before she felt the nausea hit her again and this time it was too strong, so she ran past her friend and into the bathroom and began puking in the toilet and that continued for a good twenty minutes. When she was finished she got up and washed her face off and turned around. Rin was standing at the door way with her arms crossed.

"When did you find out?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Does he know?"

"Does who know, Rin what are you talking about?"

"Kagome don't play stupid, the weight gain, you're puking and you have this weird glow to you...not to mention you're munching on crackers...you hate crackers. You're freaking pregnant and there is no way that is Miroku's."

"No, he doens't know."

"Are you going to tell him? You have to tell him."

"No I'm not going to tell him and no I don't HAVE to tell him. I found out five weeks ago, and I'm eight weeks along. I went to the doctor today and two days ago I found out it's twins and that's why my stomach is protruding as much as it is."

Rin was shocked she just stood there, she couldn't believe it.

"Well it's not like you can hide that, everyone is used to your flat stomach...come on!"

"Miroku and now you are the only one's that know, I haven't even told my mother. If Kikyo and Inuyasha find out about this, it'll ruin their marriage for sure...they've already had a struggle, they don't need this to add to it!"

"You're right...I promise I won't tell anyone...except Sesshomaru...and we both know that he won't tell a soul."

Kagome shook her head, she was right, at least now she would have one other person to talk to about it.

And so it began, she told her about the spotting and the doctor's appointment that she had been coming from when she had called earlier that day.

"So that's why you wanted me to call before hand, so that you could hide your tummy from me huh?"

"Yes..."

"And pelvic rest...no sex?"

"Yep, which is fine...because I'm always so tired anyways so that's one less thing I have to worry about making me tired. It's not like Miroku and I have done anything like that anyway, at least not yet. And I don't want to, I don't want to rush this. It's just nice to have him here for me, to help me out in this situation."

"Well don't worry sweetie, you don't have to depend on just him, now you have me!"

Kagome smiled, she loved this girl.
