Tears Not Wasted

 

Kagome couldn't believe it - the hanyou with his head pillowed on her breasts and wrapped in her arms was crying. “InuYasha?” she questioned softly. “I'm sorry… I didn't know… I…” her voice trailed away. “I'm sorry you're upset.”

 

He pulled free and raised his tear streaked face up so that he could look into her eyes. “You think I'm upset?”

 

Tears welled in her eyes as she nodded. “I was hoping you'd be happy… I promise I didn't plan it… I… well…”

 

“Kagome, I never understood when you cried because you were happy. Don't you understand? I never thought I'd have a friend I could trust, much less someone like you to love me. I never dreamed I'd one day have a child. You've given me so much.” He moved his hand to place it on her belly. “And now you're giving me this.”

 

She wrapped her arms back around him. “I'm sorry,” she whispered. “It's just I haven't seen you cry like that since… since…”

 

“Kikyou died?” he finished her statement for her.

 

Unable to speak, she again nodded in response. Then she offered, “InuYasha, it's okay to cry.” She couldn't help but to giggle. “But try not to scare me like that. I tell you I'm pregnant, and you start bawling. Next time try to warn me you're actually happy.”

 

The hanyou couldn't help but to grin. “So now you know how I feel when you cry and say you're happy. It's fucking confusing, you know.”

 

“Touché.”

 

InuYasha raised an eyebrow.

 

“Never mind. Make love to me?” she asked softly.

 

“I do love you, Kagome,” he whispered in return as he moved over her.

 

“I love you too, InuYasha.”

 

“I know. I can't believe how long it took me to figure that out.”

 

“I'm just glad you did.”
