Chapter 1
A petite, raven haired beauty sat frozen in shock. It couldn’t be true. She sat in the doctor’s office on a very uncomfortable table, being told her life, as she knew it, was over. The cold sterile room seemed to shrink as the doctor rambled on about her options. On and on she went about abortion clinics and recovery time. Kagome became nauseous at the thought.
“I’m going to keep it,” she stated, halting the doctor mid-sentence.
“Oh…okay.” The doctor seemed shocked by her statement. Most women in her patient’s situation would want to at least hear everything. “You still have time to think about this. You are only six weeks along, and adoption is another alternative,” Dr. Minadi said, “No matter what you choose, you will need to see you an OBGYN pretty soon.” She wrote something on her clipboard and handed a paper to her patient. “Take this to the front desk and they will set up an appointment for you.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Dr. Minadi waved as she exited the room, wishing Kagome luck as she went about her day. Kagome rose from the table and started to redress. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind as she did this. What would she tell her family? How was she going to explain this? What about her degree? What about her job? So much for traveling the world.What would her mother say? What would Inu say? Oh no, Inuyasha!
She had been with Inuyasha for close to six years now. They had started dating their junior year of high school and had been inseparable ever since. The plan was that they would get married after they both finished college. That was only ten months away. Inuyasha would be graduating with a degree in business and Kagome with one in botany. Inuyasha was already sitting in on his father’s company getting ready to take over when the time came, which wasn’t for years to come. She had been so excited when Inuyasha had offered to take her all over the world to see her favorite plants in their natural setting. She had just started to plan the wedding. Not that it mattered anymore.
Six weeks pregnant. Six weeks. Well no wonder she had been so sick. She wrapped her arms protectively around her stomach. She knew Inuyasha would completely freak out. Who wouldn’t? It was kind of hard to explain to your fiancé that you just happen to be six weeks pregnant when you are suppose to be a virgin. Not only had she never had sex with Inuyasha but she wasn’t even in the country six weeks ago. And knowing Inuyasha as well as she did, it would all be her fault. Hell, she thought it was all her fault.
She had been in South America on a botany trip. They were collecting clippings of different plants to see if they could get them to grow back home in the greenhouses. It had been wonderful, at least until the last week of her trip. Then she had ran into the most unexpected person. Inuyasha’s hated half-brother, Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru had disappeared right after she had met the brothers, nine years ago. She had been invited to Inuyasha’s 12th birthday party. She had just gotten there when Sesshoumaru had taken off out the door. No one knew where he had gone or why. There had been talk of him having an incurable disease. Or that he had gotten news from his up and coming business in the Americas and had just stayed there. The rumors had gotten weirder as the years went by and no word was ever heard. Well she didn’t have to wonder anymore. She knew where he was. In the Amazon.
As she walked down the sidewalk toward the bus stop, she thought about her next move. She didn’t want to go home. Inuyasha would be there and she wasn’t ready to face him just yet. Stepping up onto the overcrowded bus, she decided to go to Sango’s. Sango was the only one to know what had happened on the trip. She would surely understand and help Kagome figure out what to do next. Finding a spot in the back, Kagome sat down and waited for her stop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“You are WHAT?”
` “Pregnant. Six weeks to be exact,” Kagome stated. Sango looked at her in disbelief.
Sango was the only one who knew. She had noticed that Kagome was acting very strange around Inuyasha when she returned from Brazil and had immediately started to poke around for information. After four days of Sango contently asking what happen, Kagome gave in. She spilled everything.
Sango sat down, trying to absorb what her best friend had just told her. She was amazed by how calm Kagome seemed to be, but then Kagome always looked at the brighter side of things and plus she was just born to be a mother. “Oh honey, it’s gonna be ok. We will get through this,” Sango paused and thought about it, “What did you tell Inu?”
“I haven’t told him yet.”
“Oh I don’t wanna be there for that. He’s gonna freak.”
“Yeah, I know.” Kagome joined Sango on the worn sofa. Leaning over she picked up Sango’s coffee and began to take a sip when Sango suddenly knocked it from her hand.
“Hey!”
“Coffee is a no-no for pregnant women. Sorry Kag,” Sango looked apologetic as she went to get a towel to clean up the mess.
“No coffee? Like at all?” Kagome’s face took on a pout.
“Oh no, you don’t. You aren’t just eating for you anymore. You have a little one inside of you to think about too,” Sango stated sounded way too much like her mother for her own good. She cleaned up the spilled coffee. “Thank the Gods for had wood,” she mumbled and threw the towel into the dirty clothes. Kagome huffed and leaned back. She thought about how much life was going to change.
She suddenly felt as if something had turned her stomach and took off toward the bathroom. She saw stars as she emptied her already empty stomach. Gods, how she hated the smell of vomit. She cleaned herself up and rejoined Sango in the great room. Sango was waiting with a cup of warm green tea.
“What would I do without you, Sango?”
“Have to get your own tea?” Sango suggested with a smile. “Six weeks, huh?”
“Yeah. I thought I just had the stomach flu. Oh, how I wish I just had the flu,” Kagome rambled on for a few minutes about how she wished to be sick, “Now, I’m sick and there is no getting better.”
“So you’re going to keep the baby?”
“How can you even ask me that, Sango? I am going to love this baby. I don’t care that Inu isn’t the father. I don’t care one bit.”
“Well, I’m here for you no matter what.”
“Thanks Sango. I might be asking for a huge favor depending on how Inuyasha takes the news.”
