~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~ ~(*)~~(*)~Chapter 15: The Results~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~“InuYasha how much longer?” Kagome asked. They were sitting in the car, waiting for the test results of a home pregnancy test before entering the doctors office. It had been a week since the hearing, and Kagome had a strange feeling. She knew that it was pretty early to tell, but she got the test and had taken it before they left to go to the doctor. Now they were waiting outside his office, the test sitting on the dash, and a jumpy Kagome waiting to find out if she was pregnant of if they’d have to try again.“One more minute,” he replied, grabbing her hand, “it said it takes 10 minutes… it’s been nine. Besides, we’ll have the doctor take another test to find out and then we’ll know for sure.”Kagome nodded and leaned over to kiss him, “I hope we are pregnant. I don’t think I can take another damned test saying we aren’t.”InuYasha nodded and kissed her back, “I know. And don’t worry, I’m sure of it this time.”Kagome nodded with a grin and squeezed his hand, before grabbing the little test and looking at it.“Positive,” she read.
____________________________________________________________ ________<><><>“Well Ms. Higurashi,” the doctor started, “the home test you took said you are pregnant. But I’m glad you wanted me to take a blood test to be sure. We’ll know in less than one day.”Kagome nodded and leaned into InuYasha, who was sitting next to her in a chair, “I was also worried that I might not be able to carry a baby to full term. I mean, the scar damage that I have… would it create any problems?”The doctor looked at her a moment, “It can. The main thing would be is that once you’ve hit your 22-26th week we’d have to put you on bed rest until the time came for you to give birth.”“Thank you,” Kagome said, standing to shake his hand. The doctor nodded and followed them out.“I only ask that you be careful, and don’t overstrain yourself,” he instructed, “with your track record of overworking you can do damage to the baby.”InuYasha grabbed her hand and looked at the doctor, “she wont be working much after a certain point in her pregnancy. I’ll make sure of it.”The doctor looked at the two of them for a minute and then smiled, “I hope you do. Make sure she doesn’t over stress and that she eats properly. Other than that we have no real worries.”InuYasha and Kagome thanked the doctor and paid their fee before going home. “So…” he started, “what do you think?”“About what?” she asked, looking out the window.“This,” he replied, “being pregnant… and the fact that once you hit your second trimester I’m forcing you to take a maternity leave. You will only be needed if Sesshoumaru and I say so… and that won’t be too much. It’s a down season.”Kagome snorted, “I don’t know. There’s a workshop in a few months I wanted to go to in Tokyo… but I guess my career will have to take a backburner to my giving birth to your child.”InuYasha grinned and leaned over to kiss her, they were at a stop light and as he did so, a car beside them honked, and Kagome looked over to see Sango and Miroku in the car beside them. Kagome grinned and waved at them as InuYasha hit the accelerator and tore off just as the light turned green.“InuYasha,” she whined as they pulled into the driveway, “what’d you do that for?”“They’re coming over here,” he said with a grin, “and I beat them.”Kagome smiled as she saw their friends pull into the driveway.“Cheater,” Miroku mumbled as he and Sango climbed out of their car.“Guess what!” Kagome said with a huge grin.“Your pregnant?” Sango joked.“You ruined it,” Kagome pouted, “you weren’t supposed to know.”“I didn’t,” Sango said, “but really? Your pregnant? THAT’S GREAT!”Kagome grinned, but threw a shoe at Miroku who was patting InuYasha on his back, a huge grin on his face.“We’re not really sure actually. But guess what else,” Kagome grinned.“I don’t even want to try,” Sango said with a smirk.Kagome laughed, “the wedding’s in a week.”“We already know that,” Sango replied, “you told us last week. I have the day, and surprisingly Miroku’s school had no problems with it.”Kagome grinned and they all sat in the living room, talking and joking around a bit before Miyouga came in, grumbling about some young man trying to sneak around the house.“What?” Kagome asked, surprised.“This man,” Miyouga said with a exasperated sigh, “he was looking into a window. I kicked him off the grounds threatening to call the police. He left… but he’ll be back.”Kagome stared at him for a minute and then pulled out her cell phone and left the room.-*ten minutes later*-“I DON’T CARE IF YOU WANT TO BE IN MY LIFE!” they could hear Kagome screaming, “I DON’T WANT YOU HERE. GO BACK HOME AND STAY THERE!”Everybody stared at where Kagome was standing and could almost picture her angry face, it bothered them. Then all of a sudden, she started speaking quietly. Not even Sango had good enough hearing to understand what she was saying. “Right. I know where it is. 20 minutes. Be there, it’ll take that long to get there for me.” When she came out of the room, she still looked angry, but was holding her purse and a set of keys.“Who was that?” InuYasha asked, although he had a pretty good idea who.“Someone,” she said, “I’m sorry guys. But I have a meeting. I’ll see you later.”“Wait,” InuYasha said, almost growling, “who was that? And where is it you’re meeting him?”“I told you,” Kagome snapped, “it was someone and I’m meeting him for a professional meeting. It is none of your concern for the time being. Let me go.”“It was Kouga wasn’t it?” he sneered, “your running off to find him again aren’t you?”“InuYasha,” she said reasonably, “it’s not like that.”“Right,” he said haughtily, “because it’s every day you go to meet your abusive ex boyfriend for lunch. Gonna reminisce over old times?”Kagome stared at him for a second, then turned around and left. InuYasha stayed there, surprised that she didn’t fight back, and watched as she tore out of the driveway.“What was that about?” Sango asked angrily.“She’s meeting Kouga,” he replied simply.“I mean, why’d she leave so angry at you?” Sango reiterated her last phrase.“It’s nothing,” he replied, walking up the stairs, “sorry guys but I’m not going to be much company today. Come back tomorrow.”Sango and Miroku stared after him a minute before leaving, “let’s go find Kagome. I don’t trust her alone with that man.”Miroku nodded and followed Sango to the car. “What if he…”Sango didn’t give Miroku a chance to say what he was going to say, she pushed him in the passenger seat and dove into the drivers and was out of the driveway before InuYasha even got to his bedroom.
____________________________________________________________ ______<><><>“Kouga,” Kagome said, “I don’t know why you’re doing this. You’ve already got a career. And is there a specific reason why you want me to shoot your portfolio shots?”“I have a career,” he said, mocking her statement, “I have a home. I have everything, but I want to get my foot into the fashion industry. It might be my only way of getting you back.”Kagome sighed, “I’ll do the shoot. That’s not a problem, you’d probably be good in a men’s modeling catalog. Maybe we could use you for some stuff. But… listen to me and pay attention. I. AM. NOT. COMING. BACK. TO YOU!”“So that’s a maybe right?” he asked with a grin.Kagome groaned and put her head on the table, “no that’s not a maybe Kouga. Now let’s get back on track. The shoot. Be waiting in my office at 8:30 am sharp or there will be no cancellations or rescheduling to re-shoot. This is a single time shoot for a portfolio. It will be done once, I’ll have some stuff ready for you when you’re there. Be showered and ready. I don’t reschedule anything, unless it‘s your great auntie dying you have to be there. Do I make myself clear?”Kouga stared and nodded, “crystal.”Kagome nodded and smiled, “now. This is a lunch meeting. How about lunch.”Kouga nodded and smirked, “Kagome.” She looked up at him and raised a eyebrow, a signal that she was listening, “I read that you are truly getting married to this Taisho man. Is it true?”Kagome looked up from her menu, and sighed, “Yes. It is true, I’m getting married. Why do you want to know?”“I proposed to you once,” he said softly, “remember? The night we met.”Kagome laughed, “you were shit faced drunk that night. We both were, I don’t even remember giving you my number.”Kouga laughed as they both remembered the night they first met.-*Flashback 4 years ago*-“Hi,” Kouga said, walking up to a beautiful girl who was dancing with her drink.“Hey,” she replied with a grin.“Care if I cut in?” he asked. She could smell the alcohol on his breath, and he the same on her, but she nodded and allowed him to sidle in behind her and dance. “You are very beautiful,” he whispered in her ear seductively, making her shiver, “will you marry me?”Kagome laughed and turned around, wrapping one arm around his neck and leaned into him to respond into his ear, “maybe you should ask my name first.”Kouga grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist, “what is your name?”“Kagome Higurashi,” she replied, her hips still swaying seductively to the song, “and yours?”“Kouga Lin,” he replied, watching as she threw back the last of her drink, “care if I buy you another?” Kagome nodded and allowed Kouga to tow her back to the bar, “what’s your poison?”“Vodka on the rocks,” she said, still dancing to the music.The bartender poured her drink and handed it to Kouga, when Kagome had a ‘epiphany’. “HEY!” she practically shouted, “ you’re that football star from my university!”Kouga grinned, “you go to the university here?”Kagome nodded, “yeah. What luck I have though, to get to dance with the hottest star on campus.”They both smiled at each other for a minute before Kouga leaned in, “if you want real luck will you meet me later?”Kagome nodded, and listened as he gave her directions to a 24 hour diner.-*End Flashback*-“This place reminds me of where we had our first date,” Kagome said with a smirk.“Really?” he asked, looking around.“Yup,” she said with a grin, “small and rundown. Good food though.”Kouga grinned as Kagome took a big bite out of her hamburger, “you got your appetite back I see?”Kagome nodded, “and some. I swear, if I don’t stop eating soon I’ll never fit into… DAMN! Sorry but I have to go. I’ll wire you the money for my meal!”Kouga stared as Kagome ran out of the diner, a strange expression on her face.As Kagome drove down the road, she remembered how her appetite had been coming back full swing, and how she thought she was just getting fat. But she realized that her food was never truly enough, as much as she’d eat. She’d go to the bathroom later.“I’m pregnant,” she breathed, pulling over to the side of the road, allowing herself to just cry against the steering wheel.Kagome never realized that a car pulled over just behind her, instead she continued to cry until the person tapped gently on her window. When she looked up she saw a cop standing there, looking worried.“Are you alright ma’am?” he asked as she rolled her window down.“I’m fine officer,” she assured him, “just had a slight breakdown. I don’t want to drive and have a accident. My fiancé might not like that too much.”The cop smiled at her attempt at humor but got serious, “are you going to be okay? Is your home very far?”“I’m only a block away from my house,” Kagome said with a smile, “I’ll be fine.”The officer nodded and got into his car. Kagome watched as he radioed something in and started her car, she pulled back into the road smoothly before continuing home.When she entered her house, she was instantly pinned to the door by a pair of lips. She recognized who it was instantly and pulled away, not really wanting to speak with InuYasha at the moment.“Kagome,” he said softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I…”“I have a photo shoot tomorrow,” Kagome said, “I’ll probably be gone when you get up. Don’t worry about anything with work. I wont need you, it’s just a portfolio shoot. One frame for about 20 poses and outfits. I’ll be home by 2 pm the latest. The doctor should call while I’m gone.”InuYasha watched as Kagome sauntered up the stairs and into their room, “she’s still pissed.”
________________________________________________________ ____ _______<><><>When InuYasha woke up the next morning, true to her word Kagome wasn’t in bed with him. But after he heard a crash and a curse he knew she was still getting dressed and late.“Kagome,” he called, getting up and walking towards their bathroom, “what are you doing?”“I’m late,” Kagome whined, quickly smudging on some lipstick and buttoning up her blouse, making sure only the very top button was undone so she could breathe, “call me when you get the call from the doctor okay? Cya later!” InuYasha nodded and stared at Kagome quickly kissed him and ran out of the room. He quickly followed and caught her just as she was about to trip and fall down the stairs, “maybe I should walk.”InuYasha nodded and went downstairs with her. “Don’t let me find out he was doing… anything other than work,” InuYasha warned, kissing her quickly, “I don’t want to have to hurt this guy.”Kagome nodded and smiled, “It’ll be fine. See you after.”InuYasha nodded and closed the door when she drove out of their property and raced down the road, “she better not get hurt.”“Don’t jinx it,” Rin said, slapping him on the side of the head, “she’s pregnant. That’s the last thing we need right now.”InuYasha stared at her, “how do you know?”“I can see it,” Rin replied with a grin, “the way she’s eating. It’s not just because you’re making her eat. It’s the baby too, she’s supporting two so it’s making her eat a bit more than usual. Even though she had a HUGE appetite before she started overworking herself. And… ever since we got home from the hospital she’s gained a little weight, not in a bad way. Just she’s a little fuller in the breast area. I’m not being gross so don’t look at me that way, it’s just kind of obvious. They’re kind of… overbearing? When you’re standing too close.”“I don’t see that,” he said sheepishly, remembering how much attention he’d give her breast’s when they’d make love.“You wouldn’t,” Rin said with a grin as they sat down for breakfast, “you’re too obsessed with her breast’s to care that they’re getting bigger.”InuYasha smirked, “now I’m going to get more obsessed now that I know they are indeed bigger.”-*At Work*-When Kagome arrived at work she was surprised to find she already had 5 messages waiting to be replied to, 50 emails from possible clients wanting her to meet their demands on shoots, and a meeting later with Sesshoumaru that would keep her at work later than she wanted. She sighed and went to her office to start before Kouga arrived. Unluckily for her, he was already there.“Hey Kagome!” he said with a grin, watching as she walked into the room, “lookin good.”“Shut up,” she said, glaring at him, “I just have some rules I go through with all models. Listen to what I say when I say it, don’t talk back. And if I say that you’re doing something that looks bad fix it. This portfolio is of you, but it represents me as a photographer. So don’t fuck it up.” Kouga nodded, and gulped.“Kagome don’t scare away the man,” Sesshoumaru chided in his cold tone as he entered her office.“Hey Fluffmeister,” she said with a grin, “what’s up?”“Please do not call me that,” he said darkly, “it is bad enough my brother and Rin call me such names. What the hell is with it anyway?”Kagome shrugged, “your kinda hard… but it’s fun. So anyway, can I help you with anything?”“I will be overseeing your shoot with Mr. Lin today,” Sesshoumaru remarked, glaring at the man, “do you have any issues with that Kagome?”“None,” she said with a grin, “can we discuss whatever you wanted for the meeting as well?”“No,” he said shortly, “sorry but I cannot. It would seem that the meeting and your shoot will be 100% separate because what I have to say cannot be heard by anyone.”“Aye Aye Mon Capitan,” Kagome said sarcastically, “Koharu will show you where you need to dress and what rack of clothes is yours. The scene design will be on your mirror so pick outfits according to the set.”Kouga nodded and left when a young woman entered the room to show him where to go.“Kagome,” Sesshoumaru said when Kouga was gone, “did you meet this man yesterday after your doctors appointment?”“Yeah,” she replied, “he wanted to book me for a shoot and said he wanted to do it in person so I met him for lunch.”“I see,” Sesshoumaru replied, “and you went alone?”Kagome nodded, “yeah. InuYasha got upset but I don’t care. I’m fine. No harm done. But come on, there is a shoot I have to conduct.After the shoot, Kagome went on to answer her emails, telling one man that she was not going to have her set crew ship in water all the way from Norway because his client preferred that over regular bottled water. After about half her emails being replied or thrown away, Kagome went to her meeting with Sesshoumaru.“Kagome,” he said when she entered his office.“Yeah?” she asked, hoping that she wasn’t in trouble for anything, or worse, she was getting fired.“I have recently come into the notification that you may be pregnant,” he said without looking away from her face, “is this true?”“Yes,” Kagome said slowly, “but we’re not 100% sure of anything right now.”Sesshoumaru nodded again, “alright. Thank you Kagome. You may go home now.”She stared at him a minute, “was that it? You couldn’t ask me that before the shoot? Or during. It’s not like we were going to be outed by the media. They’re already in my life whether I like it or not.”“Yes,” Sesshoumaru said, “but you have enough issues. Go home. Do something with my idiot brother to keep him out of the house for a while. I see him far more than I’ve ever wanted.”Kagome laughed and nodded, “I’ll find something to do… maybe he’ll show me that new house that’s being built for us…”“It’s done,” Sesshoumaru said without looking up from his computer, “he’s having a professional designer put together stuff for you to look at to decorate. Just hasn’t gotten around to signing the papers saying you can move in.”Kagome stared again, “I’ll see you later Sesshoumaru.”He didn’t say, or mumble anything so Kagome just left the office and got her things to go home.-*At Home*-“INUYASHA TAISHO GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW!” Kagome yelled before she was even in the house. She heard some banging around, and then she was positive she heard InuYasha cuss following a laugh from Rin. When Kagome got inside she could see Rin laughing very hard on the couch, when she saw why it was because InuYasha had been peeking out the curtain and got himself tangled.“Hi babe,” he said, quickly untangling himself and ran to hold her, “how was work today?”“Don’t ‘hi babe’ me,” she snapped, “why didn’t you tell me the house was ready?”InuYasha gulped and laughed, “well since the whole you might be pregnant thing, I decided that it would need some… baby proofing and fun things. So they’re building a playground for when it get’s bigger, and putting a pool, and then there’s the nursery. That was never properly made so there will be a little thing off our room for the baby, just feet from us, then his own room when he’s big enough to sleep alone. OH! Damn! I forgot about the playroom also… well that can be made from something else. So you see… we’ve got a few more weeks before it’s done. Sorry I didn’t tell you. Actually… it should be ready when we get back from our honeymoon.”Kagome stared, “alright you are no longer allowed caffeine. But really? All of that is being added?” InuYasha nodded with a grin, catching Kagome gracefully as she flung herself into his arms. “You’re the best,” she murmured against his lips, kissing him deeply when he smirked.-Ring Ring-"Hello?" Kagome said, "Yes this is Kagome Higurashi. -pause- Really? Wow... Thank you. -pause- I will. good bye""What was that?" InuYasha asked, "I'm confused.""I'm pregnant."A.N. This one I revised several times since I deleted it two hours ago. LOL. I have it redone in cerain areas and all!

Kagome grinned and waved at them as InuYasha hit the accelerator and tore off just as the light turned green.“InuYasha,” she whined as they pulled into the driveway, “what’d you do that for?”“They’re coming over here,” he said with a grin, “and I beat them.”Kagome smiled as she saw their friends pull into the driveway.“Cheater,” Miroku mumbled as he and Sango climbed out of their car.“Guess what!” Kagome said with a huge grin.“Your pregnant?” Sango joked.“You ruined it,” Kagome pouted, “you weren’t supposed to know.”“I didn’t,” Sango said, “but really?

Is your home very far?”“I’m only a block away from my house,” Kagome said with a smile, “I’ll be fine.”The officer nodded and got into his car. Kagome watched as he radioed something in and started her car, she pulled back into the road smoothly before continuing home.When she entered her house, she was instantly pinned to the door by a pair of lips. She recognized who it was instantly and pulled away, not really wanting to speak with InuYasha at the moment.“Kagome,” he said softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I…”“I have a photo shoot tomorrow,” Kagome said, “I’ll probably be gone when you get up. Don’t worry about anything with work. I wont need you, it’s just a portfolio shoot. One frame for about 20 poses and outfits. I’ll be home by 2 pm the latest. The doctor should call while I’m gone.”InuYasha watched as Kagome sauntered up the stairs and into their room, “she’s still pissed.”
________________________________________________________ ____ _______<><><>When InuYasha woke up the next morning, true to her word Kagome wasn’t in bed with him. But after he heard a crash and a curse he knew she was still getting dressed and late.“Kagome,” he called, getting up and walking towards their bathroom, “what are you doing?”“I’m late,” Kagome whined, quickly smudging on some lipstick and buttoning up her blouse, making sure only the very top button was undone so she could breathe, “call me when you get the call from the doctor okay? Cya later!” InuYasha nodded and stared at Kagome quickly kissed him and ran out of the room. He quickly followed and caught her just as she was about to trip and fall down the stairs, “maybe I should walk.”InuYasha nodded and went downstairs with her. “Don’t let me find out he was doing… anything other than work,” InuYasha warned, kissing her quickly, “I don’t want to have to hurt this guy.”Kagome nodded and smiled, “It’ll be fine. See you after.”InuYasha nodded and closed the door when she drove out of their property and raced down the road, “she better not get hurt.”“Don’t jinx it,” Rin said, slapping him on the side of the head, “she’s pregnant. That’s the last thing we need right now.”InuYasha stared at her, “how do you know?”“I can see it,” Rin replied with a grin, “the way she’s eating. It’s not just because you’re making her eat. It’s the baby too, she’s supporting two so it’s making her eat a bit more than usual. Even though she had a HUGE appetite before she started overworking herself. And… ever since we got home from the hospital she’s gained a little weight, not in a bad way. Just she’s a little fuller in the breast area. I’m not being gross so don’t look at me that way, it’s just kind of obvious. They’re kind of… overbearing? When you’re standing too close.”“I don’t see that,” he said sheepishly, remembering how much attention he’d give her breast’s when they’d make love.“You wouldn’t,” Rin said with a grin as they sat down for breakfast, “you’re too obsessed with her breast’s to care that they’re getting bigger.”InuYasha smirked, “now I’m going to get more obsessed now that I know they are indeed bigger.”-*At Work*-When Kagome arrived at work she was surprised to find she already had 5 messages waiting to be replied to, 50 emails from possible clients wanting her to meet their demands on shoots, and a meeting later with Sesshoumaru that would keep her at work later than she wanted. She sighed and went to her office to start before Kouga arrived. Unluckily for her, he was already there.“Hey Kagome!” he said with a grin, watching as she walked into the room, “lookin good.”“Shut up,” she said, glaring at him, “I just have some rules I go through with all models. Listen to what I say when I say it, don’t talk back. And if I say that you’re doing something that looks bad fix it. This portfolio is of you, but it represents me as a photographer. So don’t fuck it up.” Kouga nodded, and gulped.“Kagome don’t scare away the man,” Sesshoumaru chided in his cold tone as he entered her office.“Hey Fluffmeister,” she said with a grin, “what’s up?”“Please do not call me that,” he said darkly, “it is bad enough my brother and Rin call me such names. What the hell is with it anyway?”Kagome shrugged, “your kinda hard… but it’s fun. So anyway, can I help you with anything?”“I will be overseeing your shoot with Mr. Lin today,” Sesshoumaru remarked, glaring at the man, “do you have any issues with that Kagome?”“None,” she said with a grin, “can we discuss whatever you wanted for the meeting as well?”“No,” he said shortly, “sorry but I cannot. It would seem that the meeting and your shoot will be 100% separate because what I have to say cannot be heard by anyone.”“Aye Aye Mon Capitan,” Kagome said sarcastically, “Koharu will show you where you need to dress and what rack of clothes is yours. The scene design will be on your mirror so pick outfits according to the set.”Kouga nodded and left when a young woman entered the room to show him where to go.“Kagome,” Sesshoumaru said when Kouga was gone, “did you meet this man yesterday after your doctors appointment?”“Yeah,” she replied, “he wanted to book me for a shoot and said he wanted to do it in person so I met him for lunch.”“I see,” Sesshoumaru replied, “and you went alone?”Kagome nodded, “yeah. InuYasha got upset but I don’t care. I’m fine. No harm done. But come on, there is a shoot I have to conduct.After the shoot, Kagome went on to answer her emails, telling one man that she was not going to have her set crew ship in water all the way from Norway because his client preferred that over regular bottled water. After about half her emails being replied or thrown away, Kagome went to her meeting with Sesshoumaru.“Kagome,” he said when she entered his office.“Yeah?” she asked, hoping that she wasn’t in trouble for anything, or worse, she was getting fired.“I have recently come into the notification that you may be pregnant,” he said without looking away from her face, “is this true?”“Yes,” Kagome said slowly, “but we’re not 100% sure of anything right now.”Sesshoumaru nodded again, “alright. Thank you Kagome. You may go home now.”She stared at him a minute, “was that it? You couldn’t ask me that before the shoot? Or during. It’s not like we were going to be outed by the media. They’re already in my life whether I like it or not.”“Yes,” Sesshoumaru said, “but you have enough issues. Go home. Do something with my idiot brother to keep him out of the house for a while. I see him far more than I’ve ever wanted.”Kagome laughed and nodded, “I’ll find something to do… maybe he’ll show me that new house that’s being built for us…”“It’s done,” Sesshoumaru said without looking up from his computer, “he’s having a professional designer put together stuff for you to look at to decorate. Just hasn’t gotten around to signing the papers saying you can move in.”Kagome stared again, “I’ll see you later Sesshoumaru.”He didn’t say, or mumble anything so Kagome just left the office and got her things to go home.-*At Home*-“INUYASHA TAISHO GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW!” Kagome yelled before she was even in the house. She heard some banging around, and then she was positive she heard InuYasha cuss following a laugh from Rin. When Kagome got inside she could see Rin laughing very hard on the couch, when she saw why it was because InuYasha had been peeking out the curtain and got himself tangled.“Hi babe,” he said, quickly untangling himself and ran to hold her, “how was work today?”“Don’t ‘hi babe’ me,” she snapped, “why didn’t you tell me the house was ready?”InuYasha gulped and laughed, “well since the whole you might be pregnant thing, I decided that it would need some… baby proofing and fun things. So they’re building a playground for when it get’s bigger, and putting a pool, and then there’s the nursery. That was never properly made so there will be a little thing off our room for the baby, just feet from us, then his own room when he’s big enough to sleep alone. OH! Damn! I forgot about the playroom also… well that can be made from something else. So you see… we’ve got a few more weeks before it’s done. Sorry I didn’t tell you. Actually… it should be ready when we get back from our honeymoon.”Kagome stared, “alright you are no longer allowed caffeine. But really? All of that is being added?” InuYasha nodded with a grin, catching Kagome gracefully as she flung herself into his arms. “You’re the best,” she murmured against his lips, kissing him deeply when he smirked.-Ring Ring-"Hello?" Kagome said, "Yes this is Kagome Higurashi. -pause- Really? Wow... Thank you. -pause- I will. good bye""What was that?" InuYasha asked, "I'm confused.""I'm pregnant."A.N. This one I revised several times since I deleted it two hours ago. LOL. I have it redone in cerain areas and all!
