One Life With You
~Kagome's POV~
'I'm positive that I could love you for the rest of my life.'
A soft smile spreads across my lips every time I remember Inuyasha's words. It's already been three months since that night and I can still feel his hot breath on my skin. Then again, I get to relive those feelings almost every night now that I'm mated to him. Each time somehow seems better than the last.
At the moment I'm simply laying in bed with my snoozing hanyou cuddled up against my back. I sigh in contentment. I never would have thought this would be the outcome of the night I set out to seduce Inuyasha. I was prepared to pretend that it had never happened and just go on with our lives, prepared to live with a broken heart.
I learned something that night... I couldn'tjust walk away after that night even if I had wanted to. Why? Because Inu-youkai mate for life. When Inuyasha told me this he was afraid of my reaction. He felt guilty that he hadn't warned me before we mated. I surprised the hell out of him when, instead of getting mad and yelling at him, I jumped him... A few more rounds later we were able to have a very serious conversation about the effects of mating.
First off there are no divorces. We're stuck together. Neither of us will be attracted to anyone else. I could tell he really liked that effect. I could practically read his mind, he was laughing at Kouga in his head. My favorite is that my life-span matches his own now, he'll never have to be alone again. Another plus is that any children we have together will be half-demon, not 1/4 demon.
... Speaking of children...
I can't stop the smile that reaches my ears as I affectionately rub my abdomen. I turn around in my mate's embrace and watch him as he wakes up. He sees me and smiles, then leans down to give me my good morning kiss.
"Morning, Beautiful." He whispers, sending pleasant shivers down my spine.
"Good morning." I reply, then smile brightly at him. "I have a question for you." He raises an eyebrow.
"What?"
"What do you think about kids?" I ask, wrapping my arms around his neck and pressing my naked body flush against his. He looks confused for a moment.
"Do you want pups?" He asks, smiling at me still. 'Pups...' I like that. I drew patterns on his chest while thinking of the best way to word my thoughts. Finally I lock eyes with him.
"Inuyasha, will you still love me if I get fat and have crazy mood swings?" I half-teased him. He chuckled and kissed my neck.
"Well you're definitely not fat but I've already survived many of your mood swings. But I don't care what you look like, I'll still love you. Why? What brought this on?" I smiled at him and placed his hand on my stomach.
"Congradulations, Otou." I whisper. I don't think I've ever seen him so happy.
"Y-you mean... we... there's a... I'm gonna be a... a dad?"
I press my mouth to his, effectively shutting him up before he can freak out. When I pull away his eyes are so full of love and adoration that I could feel the tears forming behind my eyes.
"We're gonna be a family, Koishii."
