InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ You Should Have Come After Me ❯ Birth ( Chapter 1 )

You Should Have Came After Me [[001]]

I cried out in pain as I squeezed my eyes shut and pushed. My water had broken two hours before and I was now delivering my first child. I knew I should have had this baby at home surrounded by my family but that was out of the question. After I was born my parents' marriage sort of fell apart.

 

My father, being the Lord of the Wolf Demons, never had time for family matters anymore and my mother had gotten tired of it. Kouga was 10 and I had just turned 5, she left us never to return again.

 

That was over 14 years ago and my father's rule: "You Can't Have A Child Unless You Have A Mate" still had to be followed and by me having this child, I had just broken it. I didn't even wanna think about what would happen if I came home with this baby in my arms and no mate who was responsible of giving me the child in the first place.

 

Another pain shot through me, causing me to start crying. My best friend Amber was there with me holding my hand as I endured the pain. "Come on Jewelz push," she told me. I had been in labor for more than three hours an was completely worn-out, how could I possibly push this child out of me.

 

"I can't," I panted, "I'm too tired." My black hair was plastered to my face and my brown ears weren't their usual perkiness, but pushed flat as if some one had put them that way.

 

"Just one more long push Princess Jewellisa and then you'll get to rest," the village woman doctor explained. "I'm ganna count to three and then your ganna push ok."

 

I nodded my head in agreement and prepared to push one last time. The doctor counted to three and I pushed as hard as I could. I screamed so loud I bet the whole world could hear me. "That's it Princess--keep pushing--you've got it," the doctor kept saying.

 

That next minute small cries filled the room. The doctor lifted my baby from between my legs, cleaned him off and laid him on my now flat stomach. "It's a boy," she announced. He had a full head of snow-white hair with hints of black in it. Two tiny little wolf ears sat on the top of his head, both brown like mine.

 

I knew after I found out I was pregnant, there would be a possibility that the child would look like his father. I just didn't think--no I hoped--it wouldn't be this much. I looked over my son until I found what I was looking for. In the middle of his forehead was a blue crescent moon and under his right eye lay two distinct red marks--the mark of a dog demon--and a blue dot with a curved line below it under his left eye, the mark of a wolf demon.

 

"What are you going to name your child?" the doctor asked.

 

"Oh," I said, bringing me back into the real world, "Tristan--Tristan Sesshomaru." The doctor eyed me curiously.

 

"Two names for the boy?" she asked cautiously.

 

"Yes, is that a problem?" I asked back getting defensive.

 

"No there is nothing wrong with that at all Princess, it's just--," she trailed off.

 

"It's just what?" I urged getting angry.

 

"It's just I would figure the Lord would be here to witness the birth of his heir and would name the child after him himself," she finally said.

 

"Lord Sesshomaru didn't even know I was pregnant in the first place and I intend to keep him having a child a secret. You are to not tell anyone who Tristan's father is or I'll have you killed, do you understand?" I ordered.

 

"Yes Princess, you have my word," she said as she bowed to me. "I will leave now to give you some rest. If you need anything just call for me." The doctor got up and left the room leaving me and Amber with a now quiet Tristan.

 

"Are you really not ganna tell him Jewellisa?" Amber whined as she sat down on my bedside.

 

"Amber he kept our relationship a secret since day 1 and now I'm keeping his son a secret from him," I told her as I pulled Tristan closer to me--his eyelids growing heavy and finally closing to hide his right icy blue eye and his left amber one. "The day Sesshomaru sees me and his son, hell will freeze over."

 

"All right Jewelz, I'm ganna go. I'll see you in the morning," she agreed. She knew that once I made up my mind there was no going back.

 

She left the room and I curled into the tightest ball I could possibly manage around my son. I looked into his sleeping face noticing he did the same things Sesshomaru did when I would wake up early in the morning and watch him sleep. I looked out the window at the full moon and back at the crescent moon on Tristan's forehead.

 

"I will always protect you Tristan. No one will take you away from me, not even your father." I kissed him on his little moon and fell asleep.
