As I lay in the hut, surrounded by the friendly faces of Kaede, Sango and Rin, I want nothing more than to curse the man outside that I call my husband.

“Come on Kagome, push!” Sango encouraged me.

Kaede is between my legs, Rin on one side close to my head with a damp cloth, and Sango on the other holding my hand.

“I see the head!” Kaede shouts. I push harder. My whole body ached, and the pain in my nether regions was unbearable.

“I hate you Inuyasha! No sex ever again!” I hollered. We all know I truly didn’t mean that. His body had needs, as did mine, and as soon as I am recovered from this, I know I’m going to want to roll in our bed sheets again. But if I could help it, we wouldn’t be having any more children any time soon.

“Almost Kagome, keep pushing!” Kaede shouted.

I pushed until I thought my insides would burst, and then I heard a cry.

I laid there, spent from the ordeal, but when Kaede handed me my child and Inuyasha re-entered the hut, I knew this was one of the happiest moments of my life.
