I do not own InuYasha, nor make money from this story.
The Good News.
A/N: I've decided to revise the next two chapters and continue the saga of Inu and Kag, aka Bobby and Harmony. I may not be able to spend as much time on this one as I have so far, being that I am about to start MAJOR construction on my sci-fi novel, "The Immortals." I am also about to start up another Inuyasha fanfic, called "The Surrogate." The idea is pretty quirky, in my opinion; Kagome gets drunk one night and has a one-night stand, and then finds out she's pregnant. She's not ready for a child, so she and her best friend Sango find the perfect adoptees for the baby: Inuyasha and Kikyo Taisho. But, lo and behold, when the two friends go to meet the prospective parents, Kagome is shocked to realize that Inuyasha is the man from the one-night stand!
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!
This is going to be a fun ride, folks.

Chapter 17: The Good News.
Inuyasha had tried to take things slowly. When he turned around and saw Kagome's limp body sprawled on the floor, he took a moment - only a moment - to absorb the situation and try to think his actions through. He remembered seeing Shippo dive for his unconscious mother. After that things started to move very slowly, as if they were in slow-motion. Inuyasha vaguely remembered grabbing the phone off the handset and punching the three buttons embedded into everyone's mind from the age of three: 911.
"Hello?" he said to the operator when he heard the cool, female voice answer. "Hello, this is Inuyasha Taisho. I'm calling from 371 Redwood; my wife, she collapsed." He couldn't really register what she was saying. "She just... collapsed. There was a crash..." He took a deep breath, trying to alleviate the strong sense of dizziness that was threatening to overwhelm him. "Look, could you just get an ambulance out here? NOW?" He hung up and tossed the phone down on the dining room table, breaking the plate that Shippo had been eating off.
He knelt down on his knees on the other side of Kagome. Two pairs of panicked, golden eyes stared into each other.
"It'll be all right," Inuyasha told his son. "Mom will be okay."
Shippo stared at his father. "You're a really bad liar, Dad," he whispered.
Inuyasha sank back, sitting on the floor beside his wife. He ran his fingers through his long, silvery hair, and he sighed, thinking. "I don't know what's going to happen, son," he replied. "I really don't know."
The ride to the hospital was a long one; Inuyasha drove Shippo in their car, following the ambulance. Along the way, Shippo made frantic phone calls to Sango and Miroku, and Inuyasha called Sesshomaru and Rin. When they arrived to the hospital, Rin and Sesshomaru were packing and about to board a plane to America, and Sango and Miroku were already waiting there with Kenji and Akiko. Kenji hugged Shippo; the two boys were still like brothers, and they'd graduated together recently. Akiko still had another year of high school left, but she was just like a younger sister to Shippo. She hugged him also, and he gave her a tight squeeze, thankful that his "siblings" could be there for him.
Sango and Miroku comforted Inuyasha as they waited.
Later that evening, Rin and Sesshomaru came dashing around the corner at practically the same moment the doctor came up to the waiting families. Inuyasha hugged his little sister-in-law tightly; she kissed his cheek comfortingly. Sesshomaru gave his brother a quick bear hug, asking, "Have they got any news?"
Inuyasha gestured to the doctor, who was waiting near Kagome's door with a small, uncomfortable smile. Sesshomaru made a surprised noise and nodded, stepping back. "Of course," he murmured.
Inuyasha walked over to speak with the doctor. The man was older, about mid-sixties, complete with grey, thinning hair combed over to one side, wise, bright blue eyes that twinkled like stars, and a wrinkled smile that was meant to be comforting. Inuyasha vaguely wondered if this was around what he should look like; he was a good seventy, eighty years old about now.
"Good evening, Mr. Taisho," the man greeted him, shaking his hand. Inuyasha smiled grimly when he noticed the ring on the doctor's ring finger. "How are you doing?"
"I'd be doing a helluva lot better if I knew what was happening to my wife," he shot at the doctor, regretting it almost instantly. He sighed. "I'm very sorry, sir. I'm just... stressed, to say the least."
The doctor smiled brightly, which reassured Inuyasha a little. "Well, Mr. Taisho, I have some good news for you. It would seem that Mrs. Taisho has only suffered a minor fainting spell, which occurs more commonly than you would think with pregnant women her age-"
Inuyasha sputtered suddenly at his words. "P-Pr-Pregnant?!"
Shippo was at his father's side in the blink of an eye. "Mom's pregnant?! I'm getting a little brother?"
The doctor chuckled. "Or sister," he said to the pup, and then he patted Inuyasha on the shoulder and walked away. Right after he'd turned the corner, the door to Kagome's room opened, and the woman in question stepped out. When Inuyasha laid eyes on his wife, he could swear she glowed. He grabbed her up in a tight squeeze, and she giggled into his ear, wrapping her arms instinctively around his neck. The hanyou set his woman down gently on her feet, and he nuzzled the base of her throat appreciatively. "Gods, woman, do you KNOW what kind of a scare you gave us?" he asked her.
She paled a little as she looked around and noticed the entourage her husband had waiting for her outside the door. "Oh my," she murmured, blushing a little as Rin and Sango both barrelled into her. Inuyasha snarled at the sudden jostling of his pregnant wife. Miroku just stood back, smirking, and Sesshomaru gave his small wife a disapproving look.
"I am so sorry!" Kagome cried out, hugging onto her two gal pals. "I really didn't mean to go scaring the whole family!"
"Oh, you did not such thing, Kagome!" Miroku laughed.
"It was Inuyasha who did the scaring," Sesshomaru told her in his usual cool tone.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru exchanged glares. Kagome giggled at the normalcy of all this.
"Well, since everyone's all here and together and perfectly heathly, let's get some grub," she said. Inuyasha smiled at her and nodded in agreement. "Besides," she went on, hooking arms with her mate. "We have something to celebrate."
______________________________________________________________________________________
Things went on as normal. Kagome's pregnancy went very well; a couple months later, she was starting to get pretty big, and Inuyasha was starting to get pretty excited. He hadn't been around for his mate's first pregnancy, and he was determined to be here beside her for every minute of it.
He thought about this as he grimaced at the sounds of her vomiting. It was four in the morning; her morning sickness was so loud and awful-sounding, his ears had to flatten themselves against his head to try to drown out the sounds of it. 'Pregnancy is strange,' he thought. Kagome normally hated ramen, yet here she was, shoveling it into her mouth day and night. She had hot flashes and cold flashes, and the mood swings were even more unpredictable than she was normally. Inuyasha loved his mate, loved her dearly, and he was ecstatic about receiving another child.
But he'd been kind of excited to have the alone time with his mate once Shippo had moved off to college in Denver. The boy was living on the campus now; he was an engineering major, much to his mother's chagrin. His girlfriend Ari had moved with him; she had also finally come over for dinner and to meet the parents.
All in all, things were still going great.
Then Inuyasha heard Kagome heave once more, and he shook his head.

A/N: I know, I know! I'm so damn wishy-washy! But I didn't really want to end it badly like that, and Bobby actually chided me over the whole thing; we're both natural-born writers, and he tsked me half to death when he read the sad ending.
Oh, and we're living together now! *explodes with excitement* Oh, and I went to see the doctor this morning. My eggo is really preggo! We're having another baby! And Noah, obviously, is freaking out, he is so excited.
*sighs happily* These are the best days of my life.
