Chapter 17: Doctor's Office

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Kagome and her mother arrived at the doctor's office at ten o'clock. Kagome's appointment was at ten thirty so they had time. "Mom, I'm worried. I was supposed to start showing already. I'm at least, well six months pregnant." Caitriona, being a mother, soothed her worried daughter. She didn't know the answer but would soon find out.

"I wouldn't worry Kagome." Caitriona looked at her daughter and her sweatpants. "We'll go shopping for maternity cloths afterwards." Caitriona said, abruptly changing the subject.

"Thanks mom. I owe you." Caitriona smiled.

"No you don't. This is what mothers are for." Kagome smiled. She looked down at her watch, it read ten fifteen.

A nurse walked into the room. "Kagome Higurashi." She called. Kagome looked around the room. They must not be busy today.

"Yes?"

"The doctor will see you now." Kagome stood up. "Follow me." The nurse led Kagome to a small room. It was painted green, and had a grass border going along the roof. On the walls were posters, some campaigning against smoking some saying buy this some about the human body…

"You're Kagome Higurashi right?" Kagome jumped.

"Uh, yes." The doctor smiled.

"You have an unusual case. You are six months pregnant yet aren't really showing. Am I right?"

Kagome blushed. "Yes." The doctor smiled.

"It's ok. Take a deep breath, and it will help to calm yourself." Kagome smiled.

"Thank you." The doctor smiled.

"My name is Mayu Sokami, but you can just call me Mayu." Kagome smiled again.

"Thank you Mayu." Mayu smiled.

"Let's get to work." She left the room for a minute and came back with a little cup. "You know the routine." Kagome laughed.

Ten Minutes later Kagome came out with her little cup, blushing. "It took me awhile to figure out, uh, how to, uh, work it."

Mayu smiled. "Don't worry about it. I once knew this person, and it took them an hour to do it." Kagome giggled nervously.

"Really." Kagome smiled, relaxed. I'm just going to take some tests on you for a little while. It shouldn't take too long." Kagome nodded.

"Ok." Mayu ducked down to where she had a little cupboard.

"I really wish I had this stuff organized. It would make my life oh so much easier."

Kagome grinned. "Why isn't it organized?" Mayu lifted her head out of the cupboard banging it in the process.

"Because," she said rubbing her head where she hit it, " It really isn't that busy here, so it's not necessary to keep everything organized." Kagome nodded solemnly.

"I see." Mayu sighed.

"What I need is a good secretary. But they're so hard to come by these days. Everybody being lazy at home keeps people busy, and the good ones are already taken." Kagome smiled.

"What about your secretary? I thought I just saw her…" Kagome leaned forward.

"Whoa." Mayu said as she caught the younger girl. "I found it." Kagome smiled. "My secretary, her name is Nazuna by the way, is leaving. She is going on this trip to El Salvador and other third world countries. She's trying to improve their living conditions."

"What's wrong with that?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing. It's a very worthy venture indeed, except she's the best secretary I've ever had." Nazuna, who had just entered the room to grab something decided to pitch in to the conversation.

"She says that to all of her secretaries so they don't leave." Kagome smiled.

"Nazuna," Mayu said, as she checked Kagome's heart beat, "You know too much."

Nazuna grinned. "Oh do I now?"

"Yes you do. You know me way to well." Mayu grinned.

Nazuna glanced over at Kagome and mouthed the words "I told you so." Mayu looked at Nazuna, than at Kagome.

"What did she say?" Kagome grinned.

"Nothing." Mayu grinned.

"On with the testing!"

Kagome and her mother sat waiting for an hour, after Kagome had come out. They were waiting for the results and Kagome was really nervous. "Mom, what if the she says that I can't have the baby, or what if she says the baby is dead, or…."

Caitriona clamped her hand over her daughter's mouth. "Stop with the or's and if's. When you do an sentence or phrase that starts with or, or if, I'm going to put my hand over your mouth." Kagome grinned. She was really lucky to have a mom like her's.

"Ok." Kagome's mom smiled.

"Thank you. Or's and if's are the most dangerous phrases in the English language."

Kagome looked confused. "Why?"

"Because they are the most dangerous."

"Oh."

"Yeah, so don't do them." Kagome grinned. "Thank you again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Doctor Mayu came out a couple minutes later. "Kagome," she said once she was within hearing distance, "I have your results. You have to promise me you won't do anything stupid now." Kagome nodded. She wanted this baby to survive. She wasn't or at least, she wasn't going to do anything on <I>purpose</I>.

"I promise." Mayu nodded.

"Hello Caitriona." Kagome's mother nodded. "Kagome your results were very strange indeed. While you were in your coma, your body stopped everything. Literally."

"What do you mean by everything?"

"I mean everything, except your heart, but even that was extremely slow." Kagome looked confused but nodded. "Let me explain. When a body is in a coma, it's just their minds that halt or stop. Not the whole body. Kagome's whole body stopped. Her cells stopped growing, her hair didn't grow. Everything stopped. Because when a person is in a coma, their body is supposed to develop normally. For example, if someone was pregnant and they went into a coma, their baby would still develop, and grow." Kagome nodded.

"So everything in my body stopped. But wouldn't the machines have picked up that I stopped breathing…?"

"That's just it. They didn't. And you're alive. Kagome if you really want to know, you're a medical miracle."

"But what about my baby?" Kagome asked worriedly.

"You're body at the moment is in rapid production," seeing the confused looks on their faces, Mayu tried to explain. "It means that everything in your body is growing rapidly to keep up with the times. So you'll develop really fast now. By sometime next week, you should look like you're six months pregnant. And if you don't…well than your body is on slow grow and it'll just be longer until you're baby develops. But Kagome, you're baby well more than likely by a premature baby." Kagome nodded.

"Any advice?"

Mayu nodded. "Take it easy. Don't stay up to late, don't stress yourself."

Kagome sighed in relief. "Easy enough."

Mayu grinned. "But will you be able to do it?"

"Kagome looked offended. "Of course!"

"We'll see." Mayu shook Kagome's hand. "If you need anything, just call. Your mom has my number." Kagome nodded.

"Ok. Thank you Mayu."

"No problem." Kagome grinned. "I'll talk to you later."

"Yes you will." Mayu said as she watched Kagome leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Kagome and her mother got home at three o'clock, having gone out to shop for maternity clothes, and other things. "Kagome," Her mother called, "The phone is for you!"

"Ok, I got it! Hello?"

"Hi Kagome."

"Hi InuYasha."

"Kagome I was just wondering if you'd like to do something." Kagome thought about what Mayu had said and grinned.

"I'd love to do something."

"Ok, how about now? A walk. I need to talk to you."

"Ok. Talk to you soon." Kagome hung up the phone than headed downstairs.

"I'm going out for a walk with InuYasha mom, be back in a little while!" Kagome called.

"Ok, but just remember what the doctor said!"

"I will!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Kagome found InuYasha sitting on a bench in the park. "Hi Kagome."

"Hi InuYasha what do you need to talk to me about?"
