Chapter 13- In the years after...

A few years later Inuyasha was sitting outside the villa watching the sun set and enjoying Kagome's sweet voice as she sang from the kitchen, cooking and cleaning like a good little house wife, Inuyasha smiled at the thought of his wifes happiness, she sang in every mood and he knew that she was happy now. Even if she'd been acting strange for the past few days.

Inuyasha was now fully accepted into the mermaids lives and lots of them called him friend, even Kikyo! She had hung around for about seven months before announcing that she was leaving to travel the seas, Kagome had cried and begged her to stay but Kikyo simply said.

"Your place is here, with those who love you. Now I have to find my place where I will be loved. I promise its not forever"

Inuyasha had been blending with their world more every day and was still getting used to the idea that he was 'married' to the future mer-queen of the seas, and even though he was not bothered by that knew that when she was called to be the queen he would either go with her and be left out a lot or stay here and hardly see her.

But that wasn't a problem yet as Midoriko had another five to seven hundred years left to live and that was plenty of time to be with each other.

Kagome stayed mostly human now to be alone with her husband but he insisted that she keep visiting her mermaid friends and family as it was simply a part of who she was. She did often go and sit in the sea shallows even if she wasn't going anywhere. She tried to teach Inuyasha to control his powers but he said he felt more comfortable not using them until he got used to everything else around him.

Sango and Miroku were engaged to be married the human way and Kagome was to be a bride's maid while Inuyasha was Miroku's best man. Sango asked if Kagome would invite her friends to come and join then lots of mermaids eagerly applied and were always chattering excitedly about it in the streets of Kagome's village.

Kagome and Inuyasha had opened up their own jewellery shop, that was filled with the things Kagome made under the sea. They had fantastic business in the tourist seasons and still had time to help out Miroku and Sango's shop that was also booming as it was right next to their own. The shops success made it clear that their lives would be very comfortable for the next thousand years.

Kagome's singing stopped and Inuyasha looked at the house to see what was wrong. She wasn't in the kitchen like he thought she was, he couldn't see her at all, and nothing made him more worried than hearing her silence. He got up and went inside only to find her locked in the bathroom.

"Kagome?" he asked knocking on the door lightly.

A soft squeak was heard before she answered "Yes? What is it?"

"Are you alright in there?"

Kagome squeaked again and then stuttered "Um… I will be in sixty seconds" Inuyasha leaned against the wall and waited for that minuet to be up.

Kagome gasped and stood staring at herself in the mirror not believing what she was seeing. Positive.

She shook her head and grasped her hair before holding the small tube I her hand and opening the door.

"Hey" he greeted her quietly and pulled her into a quick hug and kissed her forehead. "Are you alright? You're not sick are you?"

Kagome shook her head "I'm not sick" tears formed in her eyes "I think I'm going to burst with happiness, right now" her tears were quickly kissed away by her husband who she loved with all her heart.

"Why?" he asked, smiling against her mouth.

Kagome held up the small tube and he blinked before realising what he was seeing. "Your… we're… really?"

Kagome smiled and laughed wrapping her arms around his neck. "Pregnant! I'm pregnant! We're gonna be parents! You're gonna be a dad!"

He gasped and laughed then picked her up by the waist and swung her around smiling while she squealed in delight.

Inuyasha kissed her lips warmly and she giggled and they sat down outside, Inuyasha's hand over her stomach where their child was growing. The two were almost glowing in happiness, the water around them glowing and sparkling more than normal with funny shapes and waves appearing where thay shouldn't in response to such happiness.

"Kagome?" She looked up and smiled, waiting for his answer. "What do you want? A boy or a girl?"

Kagome hugged her belly and whispered "I don't know, but-" her husbands lips covered hers and made speaking impossible.

Inuyasha hugged Kagome closer to him and said "We'll need to build a new room in the house for the baby"

Kagome giggled again and said "Babies"

He looked down at her in surprise she smiled and held up two fingers. Twins. Kagome laughed at his face and she quietly asked him "What do you want? Boys? Or girls? Or one of each?"

He laughed and said simply "I want two girls, because then I'll have three beauties to love"

Marina and Jessie were born eight months and twenty one days later.

The End!
