Twisted Fate

Twisted Fate Chapter 18 Talking it out.

I can hear the fear in her voice and I know this conversation is far from over.

I leave the room and call a taxi and we silently return to our residence. 

I watch Kagome walk to her room and I stand in the hallway until my name is called. 

I slowly walk in to see her sitting on her bed, silently crying. 

Moving to sit beside her I softly wrap my arm around her. 

"Kagome, if you want to get rid of the baby I would understand, we are both still young and we only just found out that we like each other." 

She wipes her tears away and looks at me sadly. 

"That's the thing, I don't want to get rid of the baby. I want this baby but I'm terrified of what will happen to us and everyone around us." 

She sighs deeply. 

"Aren't you afraid?" 

I nod. 

"Yeah, I'm terrified." 

She squeezes my hand tightly. 

"There's a lot to think about. Our families, our schooling, where are we gonna raise the child, who's last name will it get, what will we name it... The list goes on and on." 

We're silent for a moment. 

"I've always liked the name Botan for a boy." 

She looks at me with wide eyes. 

"Botan?" 

I smile a little. 

"Yeah, it means long life in Japanese." 

She smiles. 

"I love it." 

She places her hand lightly on my cheek and pulls me down for a soft kiss, once we pull apart I smile at her. 

"We can do this Kagome, we just have to take one thing at a time." 

She nods. 

"Your right."
