Love


Chapter Nine: Mother



Miroku had just got out of work and pulled into the driveway behind Kagome's black BMW with his silver Suzuki SUV. He was excited to get inside and hear all about the visit to the doctor's. He was sure she was going to tell him that the doctor said that there was nothing wrong and that she just needed to take it easy and not over exert herself...which is advice that she could have got from himself. Walking up the steps he remembered that he had left his briefcase in the car so he turned back around to get it.


When he finally had managed to get his key in the doorknob and unlock the door, he could hear faint laughter coming from the living room, which was a good sign, that meant she was in a good mood. The only question he had was who was she laughing with, or maybe she was just watching something funny on t.v. Though that thought was shot out of his mind as he walked in and saw an extra coat on a hook.


"Sesshomaru, insists that we wait until I'm finished with college to start having children, which isn't too bad considering I graduate next year."


Rin. Yep, there was no doubt about it, Rin and Sesshomaru were in town. He knew it was only a matter of time before Sesshomaru caught wind of his brother's troubled marriage and returned to try and convince him to move to Minnesota and work for him. Though he knew it wouldn't work considering thanks to Kagome, Inuyasha and Kikyo were working things out.


He stood there for a moment longer trying to be a little quieter, wanting to listen to their conversation a little bit longer before they found out that he was home and he would be forced to lay out his life to Rin, since he last saw her. His plan was abolished though, for he heard the clicking of heels against the wood floor approaching the hallway, so he sat his brief case on the table waiting to see who it was.


Kagome's head popped around the corner and a big smile was on her face.


"Well, hello there Miroku, when did you plan on joining us? I told Rin that I thought I heard you pull up."


"Oh I was just doing a little eavesdropping before Rin began to bombard me with questions."


He heard a voice rise from the living room.


"Is that Miroku now?"


Kagome turned her head and shouted back to her.


"It sure is." Kagome turned and walked back towards the living room to rejoin her friend as Miroku hung his coat on the coat hanger and joined the two jabbering girls. He glanced at Kagome and noticed that you could see her bump quite well and he was wondering what she was thinking, if she didn't want people to know then she needed to stop showing it off.


"Well, Kagome here tells me that she is expecting twins."


"Oh so you'll tell her, the woman married to Inuyasha's brother, yet you don't have the nerve to tell Inuyasha yourself."


"I didn't tell her myself, she figured it out because I kind of got sick when she showed up and she could tell that I had put on some weight...which I don't appreciate you pointing out, Rin. It makes me feel self conscious."


Rin put her hands up in the air whispered an apology. But then was over it and put her hand on Kagome's belly and screeched.


"She's been doing that ever since she found out. I keep telling her that she can't feel them, they won't start kicking for quite a few more weeks."


"So, I just can't believe it. You have to tell your mom, she's been waiting for grandkids."


"Umm hello, Kikyo is her daughter too, I don't think she'll take too kindly to the fact that these are Kikyo's husbands children!"


"I'm sorry you're right, you're right."


Miroku just sat in the arm chair watching the two girls, enjoying the fact that Rin wasn't bombarding him with questions like she usually did.


"So Miroku..." He was wrong. He was in for a good hour of explaining his life.


------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------


< i>One hour later


Miroku had spent the last twenty minutes telling Rin about his latest assignment at work, and he was actually enjoying talking about it. And he knew this was going to be good for Kagome because now she could have someone to talk to besides just him. Kagome was about to put her two cents in when her cell phone rang out, and she picked it up and she couldn't recognize the number, so she answered it with a questioning hello.


"Hello...?"


"Yes, is this Kagome Higurashi?"


"Yes, it is...who is this?"


"My name is Nurse Jakotsu, calling in regards to your mother, it seems that her heart has begun to fail her...she just came into the hospital via an ambulance a little over an hour ago. You were first on her contact list and I'll be calling your sister after talking to you."


"Oh my goodness, do you think she'll be alright?"


"Right now, it's hard to tell, but please come quick, we don't know how long she has if she isn't going to make it. She is currently at Shikon Regional, okay?"


"I'll be there as soon as possible!"


Kagome hung up the phone and looked at Miroku with quickly forming tears in her eyes. He could tell that something was wrong.


"What is it Kagome?" Rin and Miroku both asked at the same time.


"It's my mother, she's suffering from heart failure she's at Shikon Regional as we speak."


"Well then let's go, we'll ride in my car." Miroku ushered the two girls out of the house and into his SUV that he would take them to the hospital in. As they rode, Kagome was in the passenger seat and Rin in the back, Kagome was crying and her long hair was covering her face, so he couldn't see the tears falling.


"I'm going to have to tell her, because from the sounds of it she's not going to make it. Which means I'm going to have to annouce it in front of Kikyo and Inuyasha, because I'm sure they'll be there before us. They're spending the rest of the week in their loft in the city, and it's almost right around the corner from the hospital."


Miroku rested his hand on top of hers and squeazed it, he could only imagine how she was feeling at the moment. Rin herself had her little booty on the edge of her seat with her arms wrapped around Kagome's shoulders whispering into her ear, letting her know that everything would be fine, everything would work itself out.


As they pulled into the hospital parking lot, he dropped Kagome and Rin off at the entrance and he told them that he would meet them up in her room. Kagome quickly got out with Rin on her tail, and as they walked through the doors they removed their coats and draped them over their arms.


It only took the two girls a couple minutes to find the room and when they entered they saw Kagome had been right Kikyo was already there and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked like they had just arrived. Kagome layed her coat down on a chair close to the door and approached her mother's bedside. Mrs. Higurashi's eyes were slightly opened and they averted towards her youngest daughter who was standing by her side, she smiled.


"Kagome, I haven't seen you since you cancelled dinner with me."


"I'm sorry ma." Kagome apologized with tears in her eyes and she could feel a frog growing in her mouth and out of the corner of her eye she could see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru staring at her. She knew they noticed her weight gain. But soon enough they would all know her dirty little secret.


"No, I'm just glad that you're here now."


"And, I promise when you get through this, we'll go out to dinner together every night...even if I do have homework, I'll blow it all of for you!"


"Kagome, sweetheart, don't get my hopes up. I already know that I'm not going to make it."


"Don't say that."


"Besides, that would probably be a good thing for you, it seems you have put on a bit of weight there." Kagome bit her lip trying not to cry out as she felt her hands subconsciously go to her stomach as she looked away. She had to tell her, but she didn't know how.


"Mother, I have something to tell you..." She stopped she began to cry heavily, she didn't want to do this in front of everyone, but she didn't know if she would ever have the chance to tell her mother that she was going to be a grandmother...of twins.


"Well go on child, don't hold back. I could go any moment." Kagome managed to stifle a laugh because she knew her mother was trying to make a joke.


"I'm...pregnant. You're going to be a grandmother."


Her mother smiled and began to cry herself, she thought that she would never hear that, because Kagome was still in school and she knew that Kikyo didn't really want to have children. Kagome though could feel the stares of Inuyasha and Kikyo.


"Well that explains the weight gain...how far along are you?"


"I'm eight weeks..." Kagome tried to stop from crying even more, "but that's not the only thing, Mom, I'm having twins." Kagome broke down crying, there everyone knew now and she sat down in a seat close to the door and it was then that Miroku came in. He saw Kagome and began to comfort her. He was stroking her hair when he heard Mrs. Higurashi call out to him.


"Miroku, I haven't seen you in a while, I'm so glad you decided to come and visit me in my hour of need...please take care of Kagome." She spoke to Miroku as she gathered Miroku's hands into hers and gave them a light squeeze and then released and turned to her elder daughter Kikyo...


"Now when are you going to bless me with a child?"


Kikyo was quiet and looked down, after hearing the news from Kagome she had felt dread build up in her stomach...hopefully it wasn't...


"Soon mother, Inuyasha and I are trying and hopefully we will be having an addition to the family by next year." Kikyo's eyes had become redirected towards Kagome who was crying into Miroku's shoulder, she defiantley didn't seem happy about her pregnancy, unless she was just being more emotional than she about their mother's condition. Her thoughts were interrupted when Kagome quickly stood up and left her coat and her hair swam through the air as she left the room crying. Kikyo quickly stood and went after her, she had to know. Had to know the truth and she was just praying to God that she was wrong.


Kagome had reached the hallway and started to walk holding the tears back when she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned around, there was Kikyo. She knew this moment would come, when Kikyo would ask.


"What could you possibly want now Kikyo?"


There was a long pause before Kikyo asked...."Does Kouga know?"


"Does Kouga know what?" Kagome turned her head and began to tap her foot against the floor.


"That you're carrying his children."


"No he doesn't know, because they aren't his."


Kikyo was quiet and looked down, fresh tears were forming at her eyes...they had to be, it couldn't be.


"Well isn't there a possibility that they are his?" She was pleading...please no.


"No, Kikyo, there is no way they could possibly be his."


Kagome was tired of this game....


"Well couldn't the condom have broken or something?"


"No Kikyo, because we never had sex, we were waiting until we tied the knot in May. Inuyasha is the only man I have ever slept with and he knows it, he cleaned up the blood from my first time, these babies are his. And I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry that I'm carrying your husband's children but there really isn't anything that I can do about it now..."


Kagome quickly turned on her heel and walked quickly down the hall crying but Kikyo wasn't finished. She quickly caught up to her little sister and stopped her and turned her around to face her.


"Abortion, get rid of them, do it for me. Inuyasha and I don't need this, we're trying to have our own kids, you can't carry them."


She was shocked she couldn't believe what he sister was asking her to do.


"I can't do that, I've seen them, I've heard their heartbeats...I'm not going to get ride of them! And you can't make me..." Kikyo slapped her across the face and turned crying, and ran back to the room. Kagome followed she couldn't stay there any longer, she needed to get her coat and have Miroku take her back home, but Kikyo must have had the same idea because she came out of the room with Inuyasha on her tail, but while Kikyo walked past her Inuyasha stopped and stared at her. He moved his hands and rested his hands on her belly for a couple seconds, but Kikyo quickly saw and smacked him with her purse and he looked at Kagome longingly and left with his angry wife.


"Why is your sister so upset, she just left, not even a goodbye."


"Because of me mom." Kagome was sitting in a chair she had pulled up to her bed and layed her head on the side of the bed.


"But why." Kagome sat up and looked at her mom.


"I...had an affair with Inuyasha. And she knows about it, but she was able to get over that but...there's more."


"The children are his aren't they..."
"Yes, and I'm sorry, and she just asked me to abort them mother. I can't do that, I heard their heart beats, I'm hooked."


"I can't blame you, and I am not angry...Kikyo in a way had it coming, she's never home...she's just lucky that you tried to protect her and you broke it off...right?"


"Oh god yes, I told Inuyasha to work it out with Kikyo...now Miroku...he's helping me out." She smiled over at Miroku who had decided to take a nap in a chair and she felt Rin give her a hug and whisper a goodbye into her ear. They were going back to their hotel room for the night, she let her know that she would see her again soon.


"I don't know what I'm going to do now Ma."


"You hold on, and you never let go...just don't let her get to you. And remain a good girl please..."


"I will..." Kagome shook her head and then layed her head back down while her mother ran her fingers through her hair.
