Love



Chapter Fourteen: Realization



She was miserable, absolutley miserable. The air conditioner was running full blast and she was wearing her best maternity dress that she could find for court today, even though she wasn't leaving the house, doctors orders. They would have a camera here, putting her live in the court room and a t.v. showing her what was happening in the court room, the equipment wasn't there yet, she had another hour before they would actually set it up. Miroku wanted to be there with her but since he wasn't on bed rest he was ordered to be present in the court room, because he too was to be called to the stand for a testimony. She could honestly say that she was worried, not so much about the trial but since last night she had been having contractions, though she didn't tell Miroku because she didn't want him to worry more than he needed to.


Currently she was propped up on her pillows twiddling her fingers on her belly, recalling her baby shower that had taken place only a couple of weeks ago. Smiling she remembered the game Rin had planned for the baby shower those few weeks ago. Everyone was to sit down and go around in a circle, explaining how they had met Kagome, and what they took away from knowing him and also any advice that they may have for her in the future. They had had fun, though the day was spent up in the room with Kagome since she hadn't really been allowed to leave the bed, and she swore to God that she couldn't feel her butt anymore. That when she was able to leave the bed, she would not have a butt any longer. Silly things like that is what she had said to her friends, and she would constantly joke around with Miroku telling him that she doubted she could even remember how to walk.


Her thoughts were strown about when she heard a knock on the bedroom door and she assumed that it was the camera crew so she called out to them letting them know it was alright for them to come in. It's not like she could be standing up naked or anything like that, Miroku had helped her get dressed before he left a little over thirty minutes ago.


But when the bedroom door opened it wasn't the camera crew who walked in, it was the last person she had expected to see in this house ever again...Inuyasha.


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


"I'm worried Rin...she denied it but she sounded like she was in quite a bit of pain all night last. I just hope that this isn't really getting to her..."


"Don't worry Miroku, everything will be fine, Kagome is strong. I trust that she is going to be fine...the worst thing that could happen is that she could go into labor in front of the whole court room."


When she said that she couldn't help it, Rin began to laugh uncontrollably while Sesshomaru let out a rare smile as he placed his hand on Rin's lower back.


"My brother is stupid to actually try and do this for his wife, she's a stupid little...I won't even finish that thought."


"Hell, I'm surprised that she is actually here...I figured she would be stupid and stay in France."


Miroku barely even heard them as they jibber jabbered, all he could think about was getting this day over with and going back home to Kagome. He prayed that something miraculous would happen and Inuyasha would make all of this stop, because he knew his friend and this was something way out of his realm. This did not seem like the real Inuyasha, it felt like he was doing this, trying to salvage what was left of his broken marriage. He just wished that he could get Inuyasha face to face and tell him that it was all practically doomed before it even started.


He looked around, he couldn't seem to see the one person who really needed to be here today if he planned on getting done what he supposedly wanted to happen, Inuyasha was just no where to be found. The doors to the courtroom opened up and the security guard walked out waving his hand signaling that all present were now allowed to enter the courtroom and it was then he saw Inuyasha come running through the front doors of the court house. Where had he been? Inuyasha didn't even glance at Miroku he just sauntered up to his wife and escorted her to a seat and then continued to the desk in front next to his lawyer.


Sitting down Miroku noticed the desk that Kagome's lawyer was sitting in had an empty chair and it almost made him want to laugh and then he saw in the corner of the courtroom, way in the back, by the doors was a camera blinking red. That must be the camera that Kagome was watching the courtroom from. Right then he wished that he could just be at home with her, sitting through this with her.

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

< br>
The camera crew had come in shortly before Inuyasha had left the room and started setting up the equipment, positioning the camera that would show her in the courtroom right in front of the end of her bed and she hated it. She just knew that when everyone saw her she would like almost ten times bigger than she really was, and she really was huge in reality so she could only imagine what they would see.


Pain seered through her abdomen, like it was the worst cramps she had ever experienced during her menstrual cycles that she hadn't experienced in almost over nine months. She watched the t.v. screen as she saw the lawyers begin their opening statements, but she couldn't really listen to what they were really saying because the contractions were keeping her mind on them and them alone, but she didn't want to let the camera crew know about her position of being uncomfortable.


An hour went by before she even was talked about by any of the witnesses, the first to speak of her was Inuyasha and he had been asked to explain their relationship and how she had become pregnant with his kids. Her lawyer was smart to use the adultery ways against him, because that showed that his and Kikyo's marriage wasn't exactly stable which therefore didn't put the child in a stable environment. Now as for Miroku and Kagome they were happyily engaged and would be married in December, the two of them never fought, they got along quite well. They were each others rock one anothers best friend. They were each others life lines, and that is what would make them the better parents, that is basically what her lawyer was trying to get across to the judge.


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


Miroku knew it wouldn't be very much longer before they would roll out the t.v. that would show Kagome at home in her bed due to the doctors orders that she maintain bed rest, even during trial.


He was quite excited, he wanted to see her, he wanted to see how she was doing, because he knew that she had been in some kind of pain all night no matter how much she had denied it.


"I would like to question Kagome Higurashi now."


"Request will be granted but due to bed rest orders from her doctor we were forced to set up a camera in her bedroom, so you will have to question her from a t.v. screen."


Inuyasha's lawyer nodded his head and the security guard quickly rolled the t.v. into the middle of the court room and pressed the power button.


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



Okay, it had been twenty minutes since she knew that her water had broke, she just hadn't said anything. She didn't want to rely on people that she didn't really know, she wanted to wait until they had turned to speak with her and then she would shout into the camera that her water had broke and she needed to go to the hospital because these babies were ready to come out.


She heard her name come out of Inuyasha's lawyers mouth and she knew that she would be able to get it all over with soon enough.


The crew signaled to her that she would be on in three...two...one.


"Oh my God, my water just broke...I need to go to the hospital...NOW!"


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


The court room began to get very loud once they had all heard what she had to say, apparently they would have to take a very long recess, or just have court be adjourned for the day. Their judge was banging his gavel on the counter in front of him to get order in the court, but before he had dismissed anyone Miroku, Rin and Sesshomaru had stood and ran out of the courtroom. They didn't care what the judge told them they could and couldn't do, Kagome was going into labor.


As Miroku had reached the outside of the court house his cell phone had went off.


"Hi...Miroku?"


"Yes, can you please make this quick because I kind of have some important business to get to."


"This is one of the camera crew men at your house, Kagome wanted me to tell you to just meet her at the hospital, we are going to get her to the hospital as fast as possible, in fact we are on our way right now."


Miroku told them that that was fine and hung up the phone, Rin and Sesshomaru had climbed into their truck and drove off telling him that they would meet him at the hospital, and he followed in suit by climbing into his SUV but before he could drive off he was stopped by Inuyasha.


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


12 Hours Later


Miroku, Rin and Sesshomaru had been sitting in the cafeteria downstairs for about thirty minutes now, Kagome had gone into full blown out labor about six hours ago and yet nothing. Neither of the twins had even crowned, the doctor said everything was fine, it was just that some women had a long labor the first pregnancy. They had been drinking coffee all night, trying to stay awake....


They had been discussing the excitement of the day when they heard Miroku's name being called over the intercom and they all immediatley went up to the fourth floor.


"Quick, one of their heads are crowning it shouldn't be much longer for this one, you need to be in here, she wants you to be in here."


Miroku quickly ran back in there with them getting dressed into the scrubs that they had provided for him.


36 Hours Later


Finally she was able to hold the two babies who had given her hell the past nine months...one little girl and one little boy, to her they looked gorgeous and totally different but according to Rin they looked alike except that one was a girl and the other was a boy.


"This one right here, my little girl, she is going to be known as Jaden Marie Houshi...just like we had put together Miroku, but I am afraid Miroku there will be no Miroku Jr. this time around this one...Shippo, it was a name that came to me one night when I was sitting by myself, Shippo Paul Houshi. My babies Jaden Marie Houshi and Shippo Paul Houshi."


Kagome smiled at Miroku as she heard the cooing of her two babies, she never wanted to let them go but they needed to go and get cleaned up a little bit and swaddled better. When the nurse took the twins away, Kagome began to cry, she was afraid that Inuyasha and Kikyo would take them away and she would never feel again the way she had the past nine months...whole.


Miroku knew exactly what she was thinking, and he knew that he needed to tell her that he had spoken with Inuyasha.


"Kagome, before I came to the hospital I spoke with Inuyasha. He wanted me to let you know that he was going to drop the case, he has decided that they are better off with you and that he was going to take some time for himself and separate from Kikyo and probably file for divorce."


That was the best thing she could have ever heard and she knew that she would never have to worry again, she was going to have the life for her babies that she wanted.
