Inuyasha strolled over to Miroku's hut. Kagome had told him she was going to visit Sango.

'Probably to talk.', Inuyasha figured.

As he reached the small patch of farmland that Miroku now owned, he saw Miroku and Shippou in the field, picking weeds,

"Hey Miroku!", he called.

"Inuyasha!", called back Shippou, as the little fox demon hopped over to Inuyasha and up onto his shoulder.

"Hi Inuyasha.", said Miroku.

"Is Kagome here?", he asked, even though he knew the answer to the question, because her scent said she was.

"Yes, she's inside talking with Sango.", said Miroku.

"What did you do to her, Inuyasha?", asked Shippou angrily.

"Whaddya mean what did I do to her?", Inuyasha asked.

"He means Kagome is very upset right now and he's wondering if it's because of something stupid you did.", answered Miroku.

"Yea, Inuyasha, you idiot, what did you do?", repeated Shippou.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr!", Inuyasha growled as he picked up the kitsune and threw him into Miroku's arms, "I didn't do nuthin' to her, runt."

"Then what's wrong with her, Inuyasha, do you know?", asked Miroku.

"I don't wanna talk about it right now, ok?", Inuyasha said, irritated.

"Oh hi, Inuyasha.", came Sango's voice.

Inuyasha looked up and saw Sango and Kagome come out of the hut,

"Did Kaede tell you, Inuyasha?"

"Tell me what?", he asked.

"Miroku and I are going to have a baby!", she said excitedly.

"Really? Well, Miroku, I see your finally gonna get the child you've been asking women to bear for you for years now. At least it's Sango having it.", cracked Inuyasha sarcastically.

"Yes, I am finally getting my wish. Hopefully, this one will be the first of many.", Miroku smiled as looked up into the heavens as if in prayer.

"Let's just get through this one first.", said Sango.

"Sango, I'll talk to you later. Let's go, Inuyasha. Shippou, are you staying here or coming with us?", asked Kagome.

"I'm gonna go play with Yuki for a while. I'll be back at the hut for dinner.", said Shippou.

"Suit yourself, runt.", said Inuyasha, as he started to walk back to Kaede's hut with Kagome.

When they were alone, Inuyasha queried,

"May I ask what you and Sango talked about?"

"I told her what happened and that I'm pregnant.", said Kagome.

"So, are you gonna keep the pup?"

"I think so. If you'll help me. I can't raise this child alone.", said Kagome, thoughtfully.

Inuyasha stopped and looked at her, "I'll help you, Kagome."

Kagome smiled at him, "Thanks Inuyasha.", she said as she hugged him, catching him off guard. Recovering quickly, he put his arms around her. Inhaling her fresh, sweet scent, he relaxed in her arms. He could easily get used to this.

"Miroku, Kagome is pregnant.", said Sango as she prepared dinner for her husband.

"WHAT? By who? Not Inuyasha?"

"No. By Kouga."

Sango went on to explain what happened to Kagome and why she was upset. Miroku was concerned,

"It's tough for a girl to raise a baby alone in these times of war.", he said thoughtfully.

"She has us. And Inuyasha.", said Sango.

"Inuyasha isn't exactly father material. You see how he treats Shippou. He's too immature and selfish to raise a child. And this is Kouga's child we're talking about. His arch rival in love. I just can't see him being a father, Sango."

"Miroku, she has no one else. And she said that Inuyasha would stand beside her. He promised her."

"Well, that's a start. I don't know, Sango. I feel badly for her."

"I'm more concerned about how the villagers will react. Kagome having a baby and not being married."

"She was raped by a demon. It's common, unfortunately. They respect her, they should respect her decision to have the child."

"I hope so, Miroku, I hope so."
