"The greatest love is the kind that awakens the soul, that makes us reach for more, plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds... and that, my sweet Kagome... that's what I hope to give you forever."

Her smile rivalled any other, nothing could ruin this moment for her, how her heart, swollen with love, felt like it was beating out of her chest. Her watery eyes gazing at the person in front of her, her love who on this day, had become her life. He spoke such adoring words, directed at her and only her, she knew that this was it, her fate had been sealed, he was everything she needed and more.

His hands gripped hers tightly, pulling her towards him and she closed her eyes, preparing herself for the kiss. After a few moments she peered through one eye and frowned to see him staring at her, his eyes studying her face, searching for something.

"Is everything ok?" She nibbled at her bottom lip, wondering why he hadn't spoke, hadn't even moved.

"You.." He said softly, letting go of her hands. "I don't love you." Watching him turn away from her she heard steps echoing throughout the room as he made his way towards one of the women in blue, standing to her right.

"This is my love, my future..." His hand slid down to her slightly protruding stomach. "The mother of my child." Staring in horror her hands flew to her mouth, covering her lips as she choked on the rising bile burning a path up her throat. Her eyes flooded as she stared at the couple, at her future burning before her very eyes. Feeling a cold hand on her shoulder, she gasped and turned to see the same woman glaring at her.

"You're no one, nothing. He doesn't want you darling.. he wants me.. us." She watched as the woman cradled her stomach, a smile on her face. Kagome screamed, in terror, anger, sadness, heartbreak, screamed until her lungs were about to burst.

"Kagome!!" Her eyes snapped open, vision blurry and body hot. She looked towards the figure standing to her left and sighed.

"I'm sorry, it happened again didn't it?" She sat up and yawned as she rubbed her eyes, the bed dipping by her side.

"Yeah, you woke me up screaming again.. Look, I don't know what happened, but you need to go and see-"

"No." Sternly voicing her thoughts, she got up out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

"You can't ignore it Kagome, look at what's its doing to you, you need to see him and sort things out, it's damaging both of you the longer this goes on."

"He made this happen! How dare you think that I need to be the one to start grovelling!"

"I didn't say-"

"You've said enough Inuyasha." She watched his ears flatten against his head, saw him purse his lips as he started to speak again.

"If not for yourself, then at least try for him.." He gestured towards her and her eyes narrowed in anger even further.

"If you think, for one second, that I will let him anywhere near my baby, then you can walk out that door and never come back." She cradled her stomach, round and full, a slight kick against her hand bringing a smile to her lips.

"He needs to know Kags.. the little guy will be here soon and he needs his Father."

"No one needs that asshole in their lives, especially us! Stop thinking you can fix things that are broken because frankly, you can't." She turned slamming the door shut.

Resting her head against the smooth wood, she cradled her stomach again, feeling the life inside of her try to kick itself free. Three months and she'd be able to touch him, love him and show him what life is.

"Soon baby." She whispered, a tear trailing down her cheek. "Soon."
