InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Taking over me ❯ epilouge ( Epilogue )

Miroku's POV

He was nervous. It's been at least three years since `The Accident' as they refer to it now. Sango and him have been dating for that long.

In one hand he was balancing the presents and in the other he was messing uncontrollably with the tiny box clutched in his hand in his jean pocket.

It was Christmas at Inuyasha and Kagome's. He planned to pop the question today after dinner while everyone was opening presents.

He pulled his hand from the box long enough to ring the doorbell then he put it right back.

The door opened to reveal Kagome with a pup at her hip that was pulling on aher hoop earring.

She gave Miroku a warm smile then pushed the door open to let him in.

“Hey Miroku. How are you?”

“I'm good just a little cold.” He shivered while he took off his coat and hung it on the coat hanger.

“How `bout I take the little guy and you can go finish dinner.”

“Thank you Miroku. Kaze won't leave my earrings.”

“Come to uncle Miroku. “He cooed at the baby while she handed the little hanyou over to him then tickled her son one last time before returning to the kitchen. Kaze's response was to gurgle his laughter.

Miroku moved the little guy to his hip and then made to the living room where he could hear shouts about who was going to win the game.

“Hey Inuyasha. Sesshomaru. Hey Motoki.” He said ruffling his hair with his free hand.

Hey Miro the game just began. Hand me the little guy and take a seat.”

“Don't mind if I do.”

It was three minutes until the end of the game with possibility of overtime when they announced dinner was ready.

Inuyasha moved the television so it could be viewed from the dining room table.

They all sat down to eat. The table was covered with all kinds of varieties of food that could be imagined.

They ate and mingled while Kagome finished feeding Kaze ho thought it was funny to grab the spoon before Kagome could put it in his mouth.

She finally gave up and took Kaze into the kitchen to clean him up before they opened presents.

 

He was sweating bullets and was as nervous as humanly possible.

He watched as she opened a present from Rin and Sesshomaru. It was a hand knitted sweater that Rin made.

Thinking it was a good a time as any he cleared his throat and asked everyone for their attention.

Once everyone stopped what they were doing he turned toward Sango and walked to her.

Once n front of her he got down on one knee and took her left hand in his. “Sango, I know I'm not the best guy in the world but for you I can be. I want to spend every moment I can with you. You are the light in my dark world. I love you with all of my heart and I was wondering……” He paused then recomposed himself. “Sango, Will you marry me?” He pulled the box out and opened it to reveal a clear cut diamond ring in the shape of a heart.

She paused a heart beat then jumped into his arms making him fall to the ground and kissed his face feverishly.

“Is that a yes?”

“Of course it is.” She said then he placed the ring on her finger.

“Well I guess now is as good a tie as any.” Rin stood and Sesshomaru got up by her and put his arm around her waist. She looked up at him and smiled her smiled back. “I'm pregnant.” She said happily.

Everyone jumped up and enveloped the couple in a group hug.

The women talked about the news of marriage and the baby and the plans for the wedding.

The men exchanged back slaps and handshakes and shared conversation over a beer.

When everyone left Kagome took a sleeping Kaze upstairs and put him into his crib. She then walked to the switch on the wall and turned to whisper goodnight to her son.

She stood there for the longest time just admiring her sons sleeping form when she felt arms snake around her waist and someone's lips caress her neck,

She snuggled into her husband's warmth and sighed for she was content and truly happy.
