Chapter 10

 

They Should Have Expected This

 

A/N: This is the last chapter. End of story.

 

They had been back in the village for four days, and were undecided on what to do and where to go next. They had no leads on a jewel shard, and were debating whether they should go seeking work exorcising demons. The inactivity was okay with Kagome and Sango, they had been feeling very tired recently. In fact, Kagome thought she might be sick, since she had been throwing up in the morning for the past three days. But she did not notice anyone else being sick.

 

On the fifth morning, Kagome woke up and crawled out of her sleeping bag, nauseous. InuYasha slept on, sprawled on his back, his mouth slightly open and snoring softly. She got up stiffly, clutching her stomach and went out back to be sick. She had not even got there before she heard retching. I'm not throwing up yet, am I? She thought in tired confusion. No, she wasn't the one vomiting. Looking around, she saw Sango leaning over and retching. This made her gorge rise, and she ran over to stand next to the demon slayer and vomit. When the two women finally stopped, they panted and looked over at each other.

 

“You sick too?” Kagome said.

 

“I don't know what's the matter with me,” replied Sango, “I've been sick for the past three days, but Miroku is fine.”

 

“I've been sick too,” said Kagome, “and it does not seem to be getting any better.”

 

Suddenly Kagome blanched.

 

“Sango, when was the last time you had your monthly menses?” said Kagome.

 

“Same time you had yours, remember. We have been synchronized for the past two years.”

 

“That's' what I thought…” said Kagome. “I think I know what is wrong with us, but I can't be sure unless I bring something back from my own time.”

 

“So you're going back?”

 

“Yes, I just have to tell InuYasha,” she said, walking back in the house.

 

InuYasha was not too pleased she was going back.

 

“You better not be gone long,” he said, “or else you know I will be coming to get you.”

 

“I told you, I just have to get something for Sango and me,” she said in exasperation, “I will be right back.”

 

Slinging her mostly empty pack over her shoulder, she wearily made her way back to the well and jumped in.

 

“Hello Mom, Souta, Grandpa,” she said as she waked in the door.

 

Kagomes family was sitting around the breakfast table.

 

“Hi sweetheart!” said her mother cheerfully, “I was wondering when you would be back. Do you want some breakfast?”

 

She usually welcomed the wonderful smells of her mothers cooking, but now they only made her feel nauseous again. Kagome turned pale, dropped her pack and leaned on the door jamb for support.

 

“Are you ok sis?” Souta said.

 

“I…I'll be fine,” said Kagome, trying hard to control herself, “I just came back for some supplies. Mom, I need to go to the pharmacy, can I have some money?”

 

“Sure dear,” she replied, and went to get her purse.

 

She handed Kagome the money, and Kagome excused herself and left. The pharmacy was only a couple blocks form her house and she walked there hoping the whole time not to run into anyone she knew. Gratefully she got there with no interruptions. Looking around she spotted what she needed, and took two boxes off the shelf. Then she hesitated as she went to pay for them. Finally, she got the courage to approach the cash register. Please, please don't say anything she thought as she slipped them on to the counter. Luckily the person behind the register was not someone she recognized, and just rang up the purchase and gave her the bag, no questions asked. She practically ran back home.

 

“Here's the change Mom,” she said, “Where's my back pack?”

 

“It's in the kitchen, dear, I just finished re-stocking your supplies.”

 

“Thanks Mom, I have to leave.”

 

“So soon?”

 

“Yeah, sorry Mom,” said Kagome, and gave her mother a quick hug. “Sango needs me, and InuYasha will be angry if I am not back soon.”

Kagome slipped the straps of the heavy yellow backpack over her shoulders, and trudged back to the well. On the other side, InuYasha and Sango were waiting.

 

“See, I told you I wouldn't be gone long,” she said shoving the heavy pack at InuYasha after pulling out the bag from the pharmacy, “Now leave us alone for a while, Sango and I have some women's business to attend to.”

 

When InuYasha did not move to leave, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him like she meant business. Grudgingly he left before she gave him a dreaded `sit.'

 

Five minutes later they compared.

 

“I have two pink lines,” said Kagome hollowly.

 

Sango turned her test around and placed it nest to Kagomes. The women sighed. Sango had two pink lines also.

 

“We should test again later,” said Kagome, “but these things are usually pretty accurate. I think we are pregnant.”

 

“Oh…my.”

 

“That's an understatement,” Kagome replied, raising a hand to wearily rub her face.

 

“I want this baby.” Said Sango softly.

 

“I know…I want my baby too.”

 

“How are we going to tell Miroku and InuYasha?”

 

“Ohhhh…” groaned Kagome, sitting on the ground with a thud. “InuYashas going to be so pissed.”

 

“No more defeating Naraku.”

 

“No more shard hunting.”

 

“Not for the next nine months.”

 

“And when the babies are born, then what?” said Kagome. “We can't just drag them off into danger”

 

“So we will find a way to make this work.”

 

Kagome looked up to see the steely resolve on Sangos face, and wanted to believe she was right. After using the other two tests and confirming that they were indeed pregnant, they went back to the village, fearful but determined to tell InuYasha and Miroku.

 

“About time you got back,” said InuYasha, sitting with Miroku and Shippo in front of the house. “Are you done with your womens thing?”

 

“Yes,” said Kagome, “and we have something to tell you and Miroku.”

 

Kagome hesitated and gulped nervously.

 

“Ummm…you go first Samgo,” she said ducking behind the other woman.

 

“Miroku, something wonderful has happened,” she said evenly, “I'm pregnant.”

 

The monk jumped up, his mouth open and eyes wide.

 

“That…is wonderful!”

 

InuYasha looked at him like he was crazy as the monk swept Sango up in is arms and swung her around. Then he turned and looked at Kagome, who was pale and would not meet his gaze. Oh no, he thought, she couldn't be. But he was assaulted with memories of all the wild, crazy, passionate sex they had been having, and with a sinking feeling he realized she very well could be.

 

“Kagome…”

 

“Yes?” She squeaked.

 

“Don't tell me…”

 

Kagome took a deep breath.

 

“InuYasha-I'm-pregnant.” She blurted out in a rush and went to hide behind Miroku and Sango.

 

InuYasha groaned and hid his face in his hands.

 

“What's the matter InuYasha?” said Shippo, “Why aren't you happy like Miroku?”

 

“Because ….” he drawled dangerously, “HOW CAN WE COLLECT JEWEL SHARDS WITH TWO PREGNANT WOMEN!”

 

“AHHH!” screamed Shippo bowled over by the way InuYasha roared in his face.

 

His rage spent, he heaved a big sigh, moaned, and fell over backwards on the ground.

 

“Go to him,” urged Sango to Kagome, trying to disengage her from where she clutched on to her arm.

 

Tentatively, she made her way over to him and knelt by his side.

 

“I want this baby.” She said softly.

 

He was staring upwards, his face thoughtful and composed. It did not look like he was going to be angry any more. He turned to look up at her, and reached out to stroke her arm.

 

“It's alright.” He said roughly, “I got you pregnant; I was the one who took your virginity without even asking or thinking of the consequences. I can't put the blame or responsibility anywhere but on myself.”

 

“Does that mean you are not mad at me?”

 

“No, Kagome. We'll have our baby, and still find a way to continue our quest.”

 

She bowed her head, and tears of relief fell from her eyes on to his face. He sat up and held her in his arms, rubbing her back.

 

“It'll be okay.” He said soothingly.

 

Nine months later, the two women went into labor on the same day. InuYasha and Miroku waited nervously outside Kaedes house. Six hours later, they were in hard labor, and the men were anxious listening to the screams and groans as the babies entered this dangerous world. They got more anxious at the gasps and murmurs that came afterward. InuYasha was so nervous not even he could make out what they were saying. Then all got quiet.

 

“Lady Kaede,” said Miroku, “is all well?”

 

“Yes monk, you and InuYasha may come in now.”

 

Slowly Miroku opened the door and they entered. The women looked pale and tired, and each held a swaddled, wriggling bundle in their arms.

 

“Sango has given birth to a son,” said Kaede, lifting the blanket of the babies head to reveal a mop of silver white hair and golden eyes.

 

Miroku gasped.

 

“Kagome has given birth to a girl,” said Kaede, lifting the blanket so InuYasha could see.

 

The little girl had a mop of brown hair and dark eyes, and looked exactly like…

 

“Miroku…” said InuYasha dangerously, and turned his eyes on the startled monk.

 

The half demon started growling and flexing his claws, ready to pounce on the monk.

 

“Sit!” yelled Kagome.

 

The End.

 

A/N: It's over. No lemons in the last 2 chapters, sorry. But this is how my new muse dictated the story to end. She tells me this is a sex/comedy that is heavily influenced by the actions and pacing of the characters in the anime. And the story has a moral: having lots of indiscriminate sex without using protection can cause something….unexpected to happen of course!
