Summary of the prompt: Kagome is pregnant with Inuyasha's daughter. However, Inuyasha worries things will go wrong during Kagome's pregnancy or when the time comes and she goes into labor.
Prompt: Haruka
It was a bright warm morning in the Feudal Era of Japan. The sun shining it's warm light upon the life bestowed within the world, the birds singing their morning song while they danced along the sky. A foreign village laid upon the land as every single villager around town went to their normal day to day labor. But this was not your average village you would normally view. For it had not only humans but demons living in it as well. A village where humans and a few special demons put their differences aside to live a life they wanted to live rather than face other powerful enemies of their existence.
A hanyou in a red kimono, and white dog ears, white hair, and amber colored eyes walked towards his home where he knew that his start of his new life has begun. Her slid open the door to his home where his beloved had greeted him.
"Good morning Inuyasha."
"Morning Kagome," Inuyasha replied kneeling down by Kagome to kiss her.
Kagome got up to put on her clothes and go outside to do her daily herb collecting. She felt a sudden unease hit her stomach as if she ate something she didn't intend to eat. She cupped her hands over her mouth as she rushed over to find a bucket to throw her vomit from within her body in.
"You alright there Kagome? You're not sick are you?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome nodded while looking back at him with a pale colored face.
"I-I'll be f-fine honestly," Kagome stuttered. She felt her energy inside her drain out as she walked slowly towards Inuyasha.
"You don't look too good either," Inuyasha said touching Kagome's forehead incase her body temperature suddenly increased. Kagome got up once again rushing over to the bucket to throw more vomit within it.
"Why don't you rest here for today. I'll go and get Kaede for help," Inuyasha said as he rushed out of their home.
….
Kaede was the head priestess of the village. She opened the door to Kagome's home as she examined her health and body. But Kagome had consistently vomited during Kaede's visit. Kaede then assumed she probably ate something terrible that had caused her to be sick and that she should feel better in a few hours. But that was not the case. Over three weeks have passed and Kagome was getting these morning sicknesses every morning. She even had constant cravings on greens and fish.
Inuyasha, who was concerned about these odd occurrences with Kagome, constantly asked someone to check upon her to make sure a sudden disease has not hit her. From Kagome's friend Sango's point of view, Sango had finally solved the case behind Kagome's consistent morning sicknesses and cravings. And it was not what Inuyasha and Kagome had expected.
"Kagome, it appears that you are pregnant. These kinds of things are normal for pregnant women to face during pregnancy. These will stop after the child is born," Sango explained.
Kagome's ears rung and her eyes were wide as she heard Sango's conclusion. She was going to have Inuyasha's child. Their child.
"Wow! I wonder if it's going to be a boy or a girl! Or maybe a half demon or human. Either way, I'm so happy!" Kagome cried of joy, as she stood upon on her feet pacing back and forth excitedly.
Inuyasha, on the other hand, felt the same, but another feeling within him. An uneasy feeling.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said noticing the concerned look on his face. She walked over to him as she sat right next to him wondering what could be bothering him.
"The thing is, the baby could be half demon which are much more difficult to birth than ordinary human babies. Mother told me it was pretty painful for her," Inuyasha replied sorrowfully.
"Is that all you're afraid of? Me going through the same pain as your mother?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha shook his head.
"That's not all. I was at a young age when my mother passed away. I never met my old man either. And to tell you the truth, I'm afraid our child's going to suffer the same fate I did."
Kagome was not sure about what to say. Inuyasha could be right when the time comes and their child is born. Things could happen especially if it's unexpected. The two didn't speak for the rest of the day as Kagome thought and thought about what Inuyasha had said.
"In my era, there's usually special treatment when pregnant women go into labor. I wonder how it's going to go in an era like this," Kagome said to herself as she walked along a stream.
"I can't believe he's this worried so soon. I could ask Sango even if she's human."
….
Sango had explained everything she went through during pregnancy that made Kagome feel much better. There were still good ways to safely give birth in an era like this.
"That makes me feel a lot better, but I wonder if Inuyasha's still worried that we'll never live to raise our child," Kagome added.
"That's a normal thing for parents to feel sometimes. The fact that I was going to have twins made me really nervous about raising them. Then I soon realized it was all going to be okay and there should be nothing to worry about. Miroku and I were going to do everything in our power to raise our family," Sango replied.
"I see. Thanks Sango!" Kagome replied running off back to her home.
….
Kagome had explained everything Sango had told her to Inuyasha.
"We're a pretty powerful group of people Inuyasha. Nothing can get past us now that we've all moved on from the past."
"You're right Kagome. I guess I kept on focusing on the past rather than enjoying our future together," Inuyasha replied sitting beside Kagome.
"The past is all beside us. Let's just concentrate on our child. The one we'll promise to raise and protect. The one we'll love with all of our hearts."
9 Months Later….
It was a spring evening after a long nine months of pregnancy for Kagome. She knew she was going to be due very soon.
"Come on Lady Kaede! We have to hurry! Kagome's going to give birth soon!" squealed an urgent young girl's voice.
"Be patient my dear Rin!" Kaede said half exhausted while being pulled by Rin's small two hands.
"Where's Inuyasha and Miroku at? They're going to miss the baby!" asked a small fox demon hopping up and down.
"They're at work. Don't worry Shippo, they'll arrive sooner or later to meet Kagome's baby!" Sango chuckled picking up her two twin girls while carrying her son on her back.
Kaede and Rin got to work as soon as Kagome went into labor. It did not take too long as expected and the baby had arrived safely with Kagome in good health. Cries of the baby was heard as Kagome's eyes watered of joy.
"It's a girl. You've done well Kagome," Kaede complimented, as she and Rin gently dipped the child in a warm tub of water.
"Wow look how cute those ears are!" Rin squealed gazing into the small ebony ears on the child. Rin carefully wrapped the baby in a white cloth and slowly walking it over to Kagome for her to comfort.
"Hello, I'm your mother," Kagome smiled holding the child in her arms. "Wait until Papa gets here! He'll be very joyed to see you!"
Miroku and Inuyasha were walking along the trail carrying four large barrels of rice behind them.
"How many more demons can we slay? All I ever need is a break for once," Miroku sighed to himself in distress. "Say Inuyasha, isn't your child going to arrive soon?"
Inuyasha's eyes suddenly widened knowing he nearly forgot about the child. The one he'll soon be the father of.
"Damn it you're right Miroku we gotta hurry!"
….
Inuyasha hurried to Kaede's house due the new scent he could track leading towards her house. The scent of the child. His child. He slid open the door to find Kagome and a baby half demon girl with ebony hair and ebony dog ears asleep in Kagome's arms along with a bit of company.
"Inuyasha, come and hold your daughter," Kagome smiled handing the child over to Inuyasha who sat beside Kagome feeling the warmth of the child he held in his arms. The child moved slightly as she opened her amber eyes gazing into Inuyasha's.
"She has your eyes Inuyasha. And your ears," Kaede complimented. Inuyasha however was speechless upon holding the child. He felt a warm sensation between the him and the child as if he were proud to finally be a father.
"She's…...beautiful," Inuyasha breathed as the child continued staring at him wondrously.
"And she's ours," Kagome smiled.
A shadow loomed over Inuyasha's face while he smiled. He never wanted to let go of the baby.
"Inuyasha?"
Shippo ran over in front of Inuyasha and the baby to examine his sudden change in mood.
"Whoa you gotta look at those drops!" Shippo exclaimed as Inuyasha looked up wiping water filling his eyes. But it was not sorrowful tears, but tears of joy.
"That's about the third time he's ever cried. Only this time, it's not sad," Shippo stated.
"Shut up Shippo!" Inuyasha half trembled and growled.
"You must be really joyed to have her Inuyasha," Sango smiled.
"And there was nothing to worry about after all. Kagome and the baby is fine after all of that concern you've had for the past nine months," Miroku added.
"I guess everyone was right to not worry about a thing. I guess I was too concerned about the past haunting my future," Inuyasha replied as his child cooed in his arms.
"What are you going to name her?!" Rin asked excitedly.
"Hmmm," Kagome said thinking for a moment as she looked at the baby, then noticing the view outside. It was a warm evening with pink flowers on trees blossoming. The pink had glowed within the night as the petals floated within the air dancing wistfully with the breeze.
"It is the spring season after all. A very lovely season," Sango said thinking along with Kagome.
"Look at all of the flowers!" Rin exclaimed watching the petals float within the air.
"How about…...Haruka? It means spring flower," Kagome suggested as she watched the flowers blow through the wind.
"It will signify she was born in spring which brought a lot of flowers this year," Miroku said.
"I like that name too. Haruka….." Inuyasha smiled looking back down on Haruka, his daughter.
Both Inuyasha and Kagome knew that the start of their family was right now. And nothing bad could possibly happen between them.
