Chapter Two: Expecting the unexpected
Kagome sat on the table wringing her hands as if they were a wet cloth. The doctor had said no more about anything when he left the room to return the ultrasound machine to its rightful home, and that caused her to fear the worse. Even though she heard and seen the baby that did not put her mind at ease. All kinds of scenarios ran through her mind, from down’s syndrome to MS. She did not know if she could handle it if these were the problems.
“Okay Miss Higurashi, there is something I need to tell you,” he said shutting the door behind him, “It’s not really that bad but it is something that I should address with you.”
“Gods please just tell me what it is,” Kagome cried out. Her hormones were raging and she was on the verge of tears.
“Well I have been going over your chart, and I noticed you are only twelve weeks into your pregnancy. However, your child has the developments of those that are in their third trimester.”
“What exactly does that mean?” Kagome asked not sure if she heard right.
“That means that he is growing at an alarming rate and you only have about two months left before you deliver.”
“What! How can that be? Everyone I have ever known to be pregnant was pregnant for nine months. Why am I any different?” Kagome could not believe what she was hearing. She was not ready to be a mother in two months; she still had things she needed to buy for her new child.
The doctor looked at her a with a worried expression, “I am not sure how or why, but I do know we have to be on our toes now. I want you to start coming in every week for the rest of your term. You are now considered high risk and I want to monitor you as much as possible.”
Kagome thought about what the doctor said all the way home. Could it be that the baby was growing that fast. Never in her wildest dreams did she think this was possible. She needed him here more than ever to explain things to her, to be there for her and to help her through this.
‘There has to be a way, I can’t be destined to go through this alone.’
Kagome pulled into the parking lot of her apartment complex. She had a lot to get ready for the early arrival of her baby. Her mind was swimming with uncertainties, and she knew the only person that could help her was her mom.
Inuyasha prowled the forest looking for answers to why Kagome was sent back before her time. Naraku was still controlling most of the demons and the jewel shard was not complete.
‘So why?’
Even after Sango and Miroku tried to be as logical about her sudden return to her era, there was still not an answer to this question.
All he wanted was to have her back so he could protect her and even love her with all he had, and he knew that wasn’t much.
There was definitely more to it, and the remaining group was determined to find the underlying cause of it. They started at the village and talked to the old miko Kaede, and they hoped she could shed a little more light on their dilemma.
“I see,” Kaede said after Miroku told her everything that happened, “I did think it was strange that Kagome would go home for so long. Inuyasha have you tried to go through the well?’
“Of course I have you old bat! Do you honestly think I would let her stay away? We do have a job to do,” Inuyasha scoffed at her question.
Miroku and Sango shook their heads. They had known for a while now that Inuyasha and Kagome finally expressed their feelings for one another, and yet he still acts like she is nothing more to him than a shard detector.
“Well, the power of the well seems to have been manipulated by an evil force. I wish there was more I can tell you, however that is the limit of my powers. I do wish you luck with your future endeavors and that you bring her back safely,” Kaede told the solemn group.
That was not the answer Inuyasha was hoping for and in a huff, he left the hut. Miroku and Sango said their thanks and followed behind him.
“Inuyasha, do you think maybe Naraku is behind this? Do you think he found out about the well and sent her home?” Miroku inquired. He hoped that was not the case.
“I don’t know Miroku, but we will find out. C’mon we have to go,” Inuyasha remarked taking off into the forest.
“Miroku, I am worried about him,” Sango said fighting back tears. She knew that Inuyasha loved Kagome and he would do anything to protect her. He would even give his life to save her.
“As am I my dearest Sango. C’mon we have to catch up,” Miroku replied.
Sango nodded and Kirara transformed to carry the two.
Kagome sat at the bar with phone in hand. She had just told her mom the news, and she was on her way over to take her shopping for the baby. Kagome decided to take a shower to try to ease her tense muscles before her mom arrived.
Her head was swimming with all that happened in the few short months she had been back. Not only was she pregnant she would deliver before any normal mother would. ‘How am I going to explain that to everyone?’
When she got out of the shower, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She looked tired, her black hair lay limp against her back, her russet eyes lost their sparkle, and her belly was the icing on the cake. It was firm, round and full of life. No matter what she did she could not shake the fact that it was Inuyasha's and that he would never get to see his beautiful child make its appearance in this world. She would forever be alone to care for her hanyou child, and she knew this world was about as accepting for the unusual, as they were 500 years in the past.
That worried her she would have to find a way to cloak any abnormalities the baby may have to protect it from the scrutinizing eye of the human race. She was saddened by the fact that she would have to hide its heritage. She also was worried how she would be around this bundle knowing it belonged to the only man she ever loved.
Kagome sat in a stooper and waited for her mom blinking back the tears every so often. She knew her mom would be understanding and helpful but she did not want to burden her with her own sadness. After all this was supposed to be a happy time for both mother and grandmother, but Kagome did not truly feel happy.
