AN: You've made it to the final chapter of What You Do.


I stood at the altar of an ornate church. The sunlight through the stained glass windows was beautiful, as was the rest of the building. The things money could buy; it feels even better when it's your own money instead of someone else's. With Sesshomaru's help, I was able to climb up the corporate ladder. I work directly below him and he, along with our father, couldn't be more proud. I'm proud. Kagome is too. Everyone is.

I glanced at the watch on my hands to check the time.

Any moment now we would begin.

Today is my seven year anniversary with Kagome and we are finally going to renew our vows. I scanned the many faces seated before me; friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and both sides of our families. Everybody looked happy to be here. Even crazy old grandpa Higurashi.

Kagome had made up with the Higurashis three years ago when her grandfather had an emergency. He obviously survived his stroke but he walks with a cane now. Kagome's parents had apologized to us while we were visiting the man in the hospital. She forgave them, even though I didn't want her to, I mean, they did desert her; but that's what I had basically done too. So I don't hold it against them anymore.

On the front row was a spot reserved for my mother. We had placed a picture there and a small bouquet of her favorite flowers. She would have loved to be here today. My mom threw the first wedding, and she showed more enthusiasm than everyone combined.

Light music distracted my thoughts as I watched the best man and maid of honor walk down the aisle. Most vowel renewals didn't have a bridal party, but this wasn't just a renewal, this was Kagome's wedding. The one she should have had years ago.

Sesshomaru wore his usual impassive facial expression, but anyone who knew him could tell he was in a pleasant mood; the dangerous gleam in his eyes wasn't there today.

Sango smiled at me as she moved to stand alone on the other side of the altar. We were pretty good friends now. I'd known her since high school and her best friend was the love of my life. I guess you could say I grew on her.

Miroku led Rin down the aisle next. He and I were back to being great friends when I became sober for the first time five years ago. He was the first person I went to when I relapsed after a year of sobriety. It was one time but one too many. I was scared to tell Kagome and have her leave me, and I was scared to tell Sesshomaru and get fired or something. Miroku was there when I broke the news to Kagome and he gave me a good pep talk before seeing my brother. Everyone was upset and disappointed but at the same time relieved that was able to catch myself and I've been clean ever since. Always there to support me as long as I'm honest and unselfish; he's a great friend.

A movement caught my eye as I looked at my dad. He moved back into town three years ago. After the birth of his third grandchild he had decided that he'd rather be close to family than running away from bad memories. Mom would have wanted that, and he was going to enjoy all the little ones for her. He was definitely a better grandfather than I expected. Those kids had him wrapped around their sticky little fingers.

Squirming in my dad's lap was Sesshomaru's second son. Four years old and his mother's child; the boy had too much energy. His nine month old sister was sleeping in a car seat beside them. She was a quiet child, taking after Sesshomaru so far.

Tomaru entered the hall next. He was a smart child, enrolled in the best private school in the area. Sesshomaru had hoped the boy could eventually go to one of the top state schools but it was far away and Rin put an end to that idea within seconds from hearing it. Her own words were that the only schooling Tomaru would be leaving home for is college. The boy looked pretty cute in his tuxedo, like a miniature version of his father. He held an empty pillow but carried it as carefully as he would if the five thousand dollar ring was actually with him.

That's right, five thousand. I had to have Sesshomaru cosign for me just so I could get it all those years ago. I finished paying the balance off about two years back. Then I started saving up for this "wedding" and the nice little vacation Kagome and I will be taking for my birthday this upcoming winter. With my most recent promotion I finally have what it takes to give Kagome everything she deserves.

Following about ten feet behind Tomaru was my princess. The cousins were so close they were practically siblings, and they got along way better than Sesshomaru and I ever did. Kaiya looked like she jumped right out of a book with her puffy dress and basket of flower petals. We told her to lightly toss the flowers around her, but she took after me, a free spirit. She preferred to throw handfuls in the air above her, but they all landed in the walkway anyways; after they fell off of her, of course.

Once the kids were in their places, the doors opened up to reveal my queen. Kagome was a sight to behold.

She and her father stood on the opposite side of the room and I could feel my face stretch into a grin. Watching her walk down slowly was a tease, she looked like an angel, and I wanted her right at my side, right now.

This is the way it should be. A part of me wished that we did it right the first time because she deserved nothing less, but I couldn't be any happier now that we have our princess here to share the moment with. Even if we wanted this in the beginning, it would have been my parent's money. I would have had nothing to offer her when she gave me the greatest gift of all. Besides, the love and respect we have for each other now is something only time could give.

My eyes trailed down her body. I always liked the way she looked but damn, Kagome had matured beautifully over the years. She was a woman now and I am the luckiest man alive. She was wearing the type of dress that hugged her body until it reached below the knees to flare out. My wife had the body a stripper would die for. Those curves on her slender frame were enough to drive a man insane. I'd gladly be the first to go. The neckline dipped in the middle. Her breasts peaked out enough to draw some attention but not enough to be considered inappropriate. Only I knew what they looked like beneath the silk and lace.

My eyes traveled a bit lower over her flat stomach. Soon it would not be.

We had our first ultrasound appointment only a week prior. I guess I gave her more than we realized on her last birthday. I couldn't be any happier. We decided that we'd keep this baby our little secret until she was further along. I can't wait to tell everyone though. I think I'll go to the top of the building at work and shout it from the fucking rooftops. I can't believe how amazing Kagome is; she's going to give me another child. I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl… I hope it's a boy. I could use a son. I'd be the dad that mine wasn't and I'd show him how to be a real man.

Sesshomaru's hand on my back pushed me forward and back to reality.

I can't believe I got distracted from her beauty. She looked even better standing in front of me.

Mr. Higurashi shook my hand as he officially gave his daughter to me. Although we were already married and the families had made up years ago, it was the principle of the matter. We never really spoke much, but I know that doing this with her family made Kagome happy.

That's my goal, to make Kagome at least half as happy as she made me. I owe this woman everything. This beautiful woman, who is so out of my league but is the mother of my children, my wife.

"Inuyasha." Kagome held a microphone so that everyone could hear her speak. "Since the first time my eyes met yours, my heart decided that it belonged to you. Right then, till forever, no matter what. I love us, I love our little family, I love you, and I always will."

My chest swelled hearing her say that. Fuck, Kagome is so smart; she's so good with words. I had the worst time writing my vows since I couldn't figure out what to say.

I smiled at her as I took the microphone.

"Kagome…" I paused; she should have let me go first. How was I supposed to follow that? "I love you more than I love myself. More than I love anything." Anything, including drugs. "I'm the luckiest guy, to have you." I paused to see her reaction. Positive, I'm doing good so far. "I just want to spend the rest of my life proving it to you over and over again."

I handed the mic to the priest who would say some stuff for good luck for us and whatnot but his words fell on deaf ears. I was lost in a sea of blue eyes, shining with love.

When I pulled her in for a kiss I could barely hear the cheers from the people around us, bring me back to Earth.

"I love you," Kagome whispered.

"I love you," I whispered back before grinning. "Let's go celebrate."

I took her hand and pulled her forward, leaving everyone behind. I wanted to get the pictures we had scheduled to take over with so that I could join our family and friends at the hall where Kagome and I would get 'drunk' off sparkling juice. Then I'd whisk her away at the end of the night for some romantic one on one time while Kaiya stayed with my brother.

I think back on when I was younger and she told me that she was pregnant. I remember my anger when she refused the abortion and I thank everything out there that she kept our daughter. Kaiya is my world. She's so much like me that it drives Kagome crazy sometimes. I remember my bad ways towards Kagome and the things that she put up with to keep our broken family together. I didn't understand it back then, but I do now. I know what she was fighting for. Finally, we're not broken anymore. It took a long time coming but we made it.
