The Passing Of Love Through Time (An InuYasha FanFiction)

A Different Kind Of Talk

Hey everyone, it’s me! This is the second to last chapter of the story. I’m having finals all this week so I have some free time when I’m not studying. I’m sorry this chapter is so short but I hope you like it and review to tell me what you think.

Chapter 25

A month.

A whole month.

I can’t believe it’s been a month already.

It’s been a whole month since I had that run-in with Rose. And it’s been a month since my brave, strong, and handsome hero/husband came to save me along with the help of our friends. But only a little has changed. But for me, it’s not for the best.

Last month I couldn’t strain myself, this month I’m not allowed to even lift a finger unless someone is helping me. That includes going to the bathroom much to my embarrassment.

“That’s enough!” Kagome screamed. Everyone paused what they were doing.

Inuyasha and Miroku had been cleaning the organizing everything for when Oki arrives, Sango and the kids were making a blanket, Kaede was making lunch and even little Shippou was dusting in the hard to reach places.

“Look, I appreciate you all doing this for me, but I’m the one having this kid and I can’t sit back and do nothing anymore!” Everyone was looking at her dumb-founded. “Now, I’m going to the river and I’m going to take a walk by myself!”

“Kagome, are you sure you don’t-“ Inuyasha stammered.

“I’m fine!” She interrupted as she attempted to get up from her spot on the floor.

“Do you want help?” Inuyasha asked unsurely.

“No.” After two more minutes of trying to get up, she gave in. “Yes.” She sighed.

Inuyasha smiled as he held out his hand, which she took. He helped her to her feet and didn’t let go of her hand until she was steady on her feet. Then she waddled to the door.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha called before Kagome stepped outside. She looked over her shoulder.

“Hm?”

“If you need me, use your crystal. Or scream.” He mumbled.

Kagome just smiled at him. “I know. Love you.” She waved and left.

“Love you too.” He said after her, knowing full well her sensitive hanyou hears heard him.

Once the sound of Kagome’s footsteps faded, everyone released a breath no one knew they were all holding.

“Finally, the hormonal witch is gone.” Miroku praised. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

“Sango, since Kagome is about to pop, should I give him the talk?” Miroku asked his wife.

“I think it’s time.” Sango confirmed.

“Inuyasha,” Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha’s shoulder, while Sango and Kaede cleared the hut of all little ears. “it’s time we had the talk.”

“Did you hit your head monk?” Inuyasha questioned.

“No, I did not. I am going to be a good friend and give you the talk.”

“I hate to break it to you monk but; one, Kagome is already pregnant, and two, I got that talk a long time ago . . .”

“Not that one Inuyasha. We’re going to have the talk about . . . labor.”

“Labor?”

“Labor. What to expect when women are in labor.”

“Oh.”

“Finally, you understand a little.”

“Okay, what is it that I need to know?”

“The most important thing you need to remember is that giving birth is one of the most painful things a women goes through in life.”

“One of them?”

“Well yeah, they have to endure a monthly cycle, they-“

“Don’t you dare go any further than that you perverted monk. I’ve been scarred enough by you over the years.” Inuyasha cut off.

“Well mainly the only thing I truly have to warn you about is the screaming, Kagome will be yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs. Be warned now, she will yell things she doesn’t mean.”

“Like what?”

Sango’s favorite line during the first and second pregnancy was ‘I’ll never let you touch me again you stupid monk!’ But it’s different for everyone.”

Inuyasha swallowed a large lump he was not aware was stuck in his throat.

“You okay Inuyasha?” Miroku asked.

“Yeah, I think it’s just finally dawning on me that I’m gonna be a father.” Inuyasha sighed.

“Don’t worry, you have many lifetimes to treasure that feeling. But for now, enjoy the freedom from changing dirty diapers and babysitting.”

“I already have to do that for you and your kids you idiot.” Inuyasha countered.

“Oh yeah, forgot about that.” Miroku said with a fake innocence. “Well that’s all there is to it. I just gave you ‘The Talk’. Now you can put it to use.”

“What do you mean?”

Wait for it. Three . . . two . . . one.” As if on Miroku’s cue, a scream resonated through the hut.

“Shit. KAGOME!” Inuyasha yelled as he began his sprint towards the river.
