Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha...though that would be so cool.


Authors Note: I know, I probably don't have the best spelling out there, and I would send some chapters out to get reviewed and spell checked but I'm so impatient. I just want to post everything as soon as it is done, and I do all my writing when I'm off of work and late at night. In fact I just started this story last week and I'm already almost finished hahaha. Don't worry though there is still quite a few more chapters left. And it'll be a nice solid ending, hopefully...


But I do promise to start another story as soon as this one is finished. But it may take a few days because I will have to think of some new ideas, I'm trying to make sure it's stuff that hasn't been done before, because then I'm like...I hate it! That is why I went with a MirKag pairing, because I don't see very many of those. And that is also why I killed off Sango in this one, because I found it easier to get MirKag together without her alive...


Anyway....on with the story!


Love


Chapter Twelve: Kikyo's Question/Demand



It had been a week since Miroku had proposed to Kagome, and she wore her ring proudly. She would find herself showing it off to people she barely knew and even allowing people she didn't really like feel her belly, that is just how good of a mood she had been the past week. Of course, the morning after the proposal she had immediatley called Rin and left a message on the machine telling her about the new engagment. And today she was on her way over to her mother's to speak with her and show off the ring. Not to mention she wanted her mother to feel the baby kicks before they subsided once again. Though she found they liked to kick the most when she was trying to sleep at night, so quite often she would find herself pressing her abdomen to Miroku's back at night, causing him to be up late at night instead of her. But that was a sacrifice he was willing to make for her.


Today she was wearing a T-shirt that said Twins Aboard with a pair of maternity jeans, she learned fast to not try wearing jeans for unpregnant people they just made everything more difficult for you. The proposal wasn't the only thing that had her happy today because she was excited to know that her mother was doing much better than she was at first, they didn't even need someone to stay with her, to help make sure she was doing alright. The doctor had said that she was now able to go about life like she normally did, which meant no strangers to help take care of her.


When she pulled up to the house she quickly got out and walked or should I say wobbled as fast as she could to the front door, and instead of knocking she just barged in and went straight to the kitchen where she knew her mother would be, making some type of fruit salad, as normal. Standing in the doorway she cleared her throat to get her attention and when she turned around all she saw was her radiant daughter.


Kagome today had decided to wear her hair up in a braided bun with her long bangs framed around her face, her face was definitley softer than it had ever been, she had no need for make up anymore, pregnancy was really a wonderful thing that worked well with her.


"Oh sweetie, you look gorgeous, and look at your well popped belly. You're what almost six months now? Well you look almost seven and a half to eight months....which is good for you because that means you probably won't get very much bigger."


"I feel like a blimp!"


With that comment she sat down in a chair that she pulled out for herself, and rested her hands on her outwards belly. But before she was able to relax anymore her mother grabbed her left hand to look at the huge rock that Miroku had placed on her finger. Before she said anything she sat the fruit salad on the table which Kagome immediatley began to eat out of.


"So my baby is getting married..."


"Mom I've been engaged before, so we've been through this before."


"Yeah, but I knew something would happen between you and Kouga, he just kind of assumed you would marry him right? Miroku, now that boy has a good head on his shoulders, and he'll be able to take care of you and the babies while you finish up school, you've got about another four more years before you even start your residency at a hospital remember that."


"I know, I know. And I just feel so alive..."


"That's because you are half way there and your energy is really returning to you, are you pressing your belly to Miroku's back at night yet?"


Kagome giggled and nodded her head for a yes, it kept him up really late at night.


"He's always demanding that I sing at night, since the book says that they can hear me really good now, so if I sing to them they usually sleep throughout the night, but some nights I'm just too tired to sing to them, so I make him just deal with it."


"Well I think you both will make wonderful parents...have you two discussed having your own children together?"


Kagome got really quiet, she wasn't quite sure about, they hadn't really talked about it.


"Maybe, but right now we know we are going to have our hands full with these two right here." Kagome said this as she patted her belly and laughed.


They sat in silence picking at the fruit salad for a moment before Kagome decided that she should ask her mother about Kikyo and Inuyasha since they talked to her, but neither of them had even bothered to call her since that night at the hospital.


"So have you heard anything from Kikyo lately?"


"Yes, I have and it seems the doctor's told her that she won't be able to carry children...she didn't seem too disappointed about it except for the fact that she feels that she needs to have a child to keep her and Inuyasha together. She didn't say that but I can tell, she said something like she needed to be able to give Inuyasha a child. But honestly if that is how she feels then already there is no hope for the two of them. It's such a shame though, eight years together, it'll be nine next month."


Her older sister's marriage was still falling apart before her eyes, and now she realized that it really had nothing to do with her, maybe there was just something wrong with Kikyo. She would probably be flying out of the country soon again to get away from her problems though.


"Has she thought about adoption?"


"I doubt she would go for that Kagome, both you and I know that."


She just shook her head in agreement.


"So, I know you went to the doctor's today....so where are they?"


Smiling she told her mom, "I don't have any idea what you are talking about unless....you mean...."


Digging in her purse she pulled out some sonograms and slapped them down on the table, "These."


"This one right here has labels and you want to know why? Well don't even bother to ask because I'm going to tell you...One of them is a girl and the other is a boy, tonight I am going to start hounding Miroku to help me make a list of baby names....oh I am so excited. I was all worried about not being able to tell which of my babies were which but now that I am having one of each, I don't have to worry so much."


The two of them spent the next hour looking at the sonograms and discussing their excitement, her mother was like her best friend and she was so happy that she didn't hold anything against her for carrying her son-in-law's children.


At the end of the hour Kagome had decided that she had better get heading home so that she could give the great news to Miroku and then call Rin to tell her, and if she wished to relay it to Inuyasha and Kikyo.


"One question before you go Kagome."


Kagome stood next to her car with her mother and she nodded for her to continue.


"When do you two plan on having the wedding?"


"Oh I'm not too sure, we are very much decided though that it'll be in December...we for sure want to wait until after the twins are born."


Kagome then dipped into the car and her mother nodded shutting the door for her daughter, and once her mother had gone back into the house she put the key in the ignition and started it, then proceeded to head towards home.


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


"Guess what!"


"What..." Miroku looked at Kagome out of the corner of his eye, she was wearing a maternity dress, she had changed into as soon as she had got home, it may have been May but it wasn't too hot to him but for her she almost couldn't stand the heat, she slept with the covers off and some nights she would have a fan running on her.


"We're having a girl...and a boy!"


He dropped his fork, that was amazing, now he knew for a fact that they were going to have their hands full for quite a few years.


"That's great Kagome!" He stood up and gave her a hug and a kiss, congratulating her.


"Now as soon as you get done eating I want you to meet me in the living room, with a pen and a notepad...we're going to make a list of names." When she finished speaking, she heard the phone ring, and today it was the house phone. Quickly she walked/wobbled to the hallway and picked up the phone.


"Hello?"


"Kagome?"


She couldn't speak, she knew exactly who it was, it was Kikyo. She hadn't spoken to her since they had moved away, and now she was calling after she had miscarried, probably to yell at her for being pregnant.


"Kikyo, I thought you were angry with me?"


"I was, but now I realize that you can actually help me."


"Help you how?"


"Well I am sure you have heard that the doctor told me that I wouldn't be able to concieve again, which means I won't be able to provide Inuyasha with any children, of my own."


"And, what does that have to do with?"


"Well you are having twins, and they technically are Inuyasha's children too."


"Yes, and your point is?"


"Inuyasha wants to have a child so bad, one that he can have to hold and help raise and I figured it wouldn't hurt if you were to let us adopt one of the twins, well me at least...I mean you're my sister so the child would look a little bit like me and I am married to Inuyasha....they would never have to know!"


"No."


"What do you mean no? You can't just deprive Inuyasha of his children!"


"But that doesn't mean I have to let you adopt one of them, and it's not going to happen!"


Kagome was outraged and immediatley hung up the phone, she couldn't believe that she had just asked that question, and suddenly she felt worried. They had money, lots of money, they could easily take this to court if they wanted, she didn't want her children to be taken away from her, not even just one. She wanted to keep them both!


Miroku emerged from the kitchen with a pen and a notepad in hand, but he also had a questioning look on his face.


"Babe, what happend, who was that?"


She was quiet and then she said, "It was Kikyo, she wants, they want me to let them have one of my babies because she can't have kids."


Finally she began to cry, she didn't want anything like that to happen, she just couldn't let it happen.


"It'll be okay sweetie, I promise. If they try anything, we can fight it. They aren't exactly the most stable couple out there, they could get a divorce at anytime and we will use that against them I promise."


She shook her head and wiped her tears away and smiled.


"Now let's go out into the living room and come up with some baby names okay?"


"Okay."


"I was actually thinking for the little girl, Jade."


"Jade, huh. Jade, how about Jaden, Jaden Marie Houshi."


"I like that..."


"Well it sounds like we have the girl name picked out, now to get a list of little boy names, they say those are the hardest."


The two sat on the couch cuddled together giving each other eskimo kisses and giggling, keeping their minds off of the worries in their lives.


"Now, Kagome, don't shoot me down on this one but I was thinking for the boy, maybe we could name him after me?"


Kagome couldn't help but laugh...."Little Miroku, Miroku junior huh. You want a Miroku JR? I don't know, let's come up with a list and then we will decide okay?"


"Okay." Miroku hung his head a little but smiled at his fiancee as she let her hair out of its place on her head, as it flowed down onto her lap and onto the couch.


She punched him lightly on the shoulder and chuckled a little bit more.


"Miroku jr....hahaha."
