InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Time Goes By; Life Goes On ❯ Family Affair ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter Ten:

There was an uncomfortable silence as Kagome gazed into the amber eyes of her one love. She couldn’t even begin to fathom the magnitude of his return or what it meant. All that matter was that he was with her. Her heart fluttered into her stomach as he moved closer to her bed. She could see the pain and hope that flashed in his eyes and she prayed he would not be angry with her. Again all that did not matter they could get through any anger, resentment and fear together. They had done it before so this time should not be any different.
She felt blinding tears well up behind her eyes and with a quick blink; she pushed them back.
“Kagome,” Inuyasha whispered. The look he saw on her face was hard to read and he was scared to move forward until he knew how she felt.
“Inuyasha you are really here.”
“Of course wench, did you really think you could come back to your time without running it by me first.”
Kagome smirked it really was Inuyasha and his attitude proved it.
“Did you see him? Did you see your son?” Kagome asked.
“No the nurse took him to the…nu…nur…”
She could see him struggling with the word, “Nursery?” Kagome said.
“Yeah she said they would bring him back to you when they put you in your room.”
Kagome nodded her answer before motioning for the hanyou to come closer.
With a hesitant step, Inuyasha slowly closed the remaining gap between them and placed a calloused yet gentle hand over hers. His body shivered at the touch, it had been months since he had last felt her touch her love and now that he was here, he was not going to let her out of his site if he could help it. With uncertainty, Inuyasha leaned down and gently placed a loving kiss upon her lips.
Kagome's eyes widened as his lips brushed against hers before melting into his touch. Things were looking up and now they could be the family she longed for. Kagome cheered inwardly. ‘There’s always a silver lining.’
Kagome shifted slightly to make room for Inuyasha on the bed and smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his hard chest. The embrace was almost magical and she knew if anyone looked close enough, they would see their auras intertwine and claim what was theirs.
The powerful effect of the embrace was short lived, as Kagome's mom made her appearance.
“We have some very anxious visitors out here that would love to see you.”
“Okay mom let them in.”
Inuyasha was reluctant to let her go until he saw the small reassuring smile grace her lips and with a quiet ‘humph’ he was out of the bed and pulling up a chair.
The first to enter the room was an over excited grandpa, followed by an equally excited Souta. However, Kagome all but fainted when the next two visitors walked through the room. Her eyes were like saucers and her heart plunged back into her gut. She had never in a million years expected to see her two friends again.
“Sango! Miroku! When did you… how did you…”
“It’s a long story Kagome. I promise to tell you about when you get out of here,” Miroku said interrupting her with a smile. He and Sango were just happy she was okay. They had been worried Naraku had gotten to her until now.
Kagome smiled at her family and friends as they pulled up the remaining chairs and began talking about Isamu and other mundane topics careful not to bring up the past few months for the sake of Kagome and Inuyasha. Times were going to be hard for the two with a baby and a rekindled love; they did not need to be reminded of their heartache and loneliness right now.
Time seemed to fly as they chatted and before they knew it, Kagome was being moved from labor and delivery to the mother/baby ward. With a change of scene and a more comfortable environment, Kagome relaxed into her bed and listened as Souta told stories of the past. He recalled all the things Inuyasha did when he came to the present and even told the story about the first time he tried to give Inuyasha a bath. His arms flailed excitedly and his voice raised several octaves when he told them about Inuyasha running into Kagome's room covered in soap and dripping wet.
Inuyasha however did not find it too amusing and he sat brooding in the chair with his eyes closed.
As Souta finished his story, a nurse came in with Isamu and everyone clamed up.
Kagome smiled at the nurse before leaning over and scooping Isamu from the bassinet, “Everyone I would like you to meet Isamu.”
The room was filled with soft chatter about how cute he was and how much he looked like his daddy. This time Inuyasha smiled the most. Here was his pup healthy, beautiful and even he could not argue about with them. He did look like Inuyasha more than anyone thought was possible, though he did have Kagome's smile every other feature was all sides of Inuyasha.
“Inuyasha would you like to hold your son?” Kagome asked when she saw Inuyasha swell with pride.
“Uh… Kagome I can’t…” Inuyasha started to reply.
“What of course you can!” Kagome interrupted. She was not going to have the father of her baby play chicken when it came to their child, “You can, and you will.”
Kagome did not wait for his refusal and she gently placed Isamu into his hands.
Inuyasha tensed when he realized he was holding a baby, not just any baby either it was his baby his son. The word was so alien to him. He always wanted a family but he never thought he would be able to acquire such a far off dream, and yet here he was with his love and their creation. A feeling of love and acceptance washed over him and he relaxed pulling Isamu closer to him with a broad smile on his lips.
The chatter continued as Isamu was passed from person to person. It was a perfect day for the reunited group if only it were to stay that way because they had forgotten about their foe lurking in the city with an unknown agenda.

“Mi lord,” Jaken shrieked pushing open the solid wood doors. His arms quivered against their weight and he all but gave up when Rin stood to help.
“What is it Jaken?” Sesshomaru said obviously irritated at the intrusion. He and Rin had been going over the situation with Naraku. They did not know how the evil hanyou came to be here, all they knew that this was definitely bad news.
“Its Kagome sire she has had her pup.”
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrows in surprise at the news.
“Mi lord there’s more. It has been said that Inuyasha, the demon slayer and the monk have found away to this time as well. I believe they are all at the hospital with the miko now.”
Sesshomaru and Jaken jumped when an excited squeal came from Rin.
“Oh Sesshomaru we have to go see her and your nephew!” Rin said. She was getting antsy at the news and Sesshomaru knew he would fight a losing battle if he argued with his mate. With a curt nod, he dismissed his vassal and turned toward Rin who was already by his side. With strong arms, he pulled her to his lap and nuzzled her neck.
“So does this mean we are going?” Rin asked with a mischievous smile. She knew what she would have to do to make him say yes, and it was a pleasure all her own. Gazing into the amber pools of her mate she slowly shifted her body so she straddling his lap and gently placed her warm soft lips to his own.
Sesshomaru sighed when she pulled her lips from his. He loved her more than he cared to admit to anyone and yet he shouted it from the rooftops. All those years of traveling with him had hardened her just enough where she could manipulate any situation and get what she wanted and still be caring and warm to everyone in her vicinity.
“Rin we have business to take care of before we can visit them. We have to find the best course of action to take down Naraku before he wreaks havoc on our lands.” Sesshomaru said with conviction. He could not give into her not yet anyway.
With a defeated frown, Rin pulled herself from his lap and took her previous place in the soft wing back chair.
“Well Mi Lord what do you propose we do with the nuisance?” Rin asked averting her eyes.
“Mi Lord huh? When is the last time you referred to me as such?” Sesshomaru retorted. It had been at least two hundred years since she had addressed him with such formality now she did it out of spite because he would not let her go to Kagome just yet.
“Hmm… let’s see how about when you became an ass,” Rin said. She was trying really hard not to let him see her smile.
“Ah so I am an ass now? Am I,” Sesshomaru chuckled, “Well now that I know what an ass I am what you say we get back to our dilemma and tomorrow we will go visit the half-breed and his human.”
This got another squeal out of Rin and she danced her way to her pompous husband and wrapped her arms around his neck.
