Hi, my dears. :)

Here is my fic full of one-shots and drabbles about Kagome's pregnancy. I'll probably wind up including others about Izayoi and baby Sota's childhoods within this fic instead of creating a whole other one.

Also, not only will this fic include Kagome and Inuyasha's POVs again, but it'll also include other characters like Rin, Shippo, and the rest of the gang that we all love so much. :

Speaking of Rin, she was pretty absent in my Our Own Time fic, but I do have some big plans for her in another fic I'm currently writing. ;)

Without further ado, here's the first one-shot of Next Generation.

Kagome:

As soon as I woke up, I ran outside.

Inuyasha came up behind me as I vomited on the grass outside of our house.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he rubbed my back.

When the nausea went away, I sat up and nodded. "Yeah," I replied. "I'm fine."

Inuyasha's eyes were wide. "What the heck happened?" he asked. I rubbed my stomach.

"Pregnant women usually get morning sickness," I explained. "I guess I'm one of them." I tried to smile, but I was hit with another wave of nausea.

Inuyasha ran inside to get me a wet cloth and wiped my face with it.

"Are you better?" he asked.

I took a deep breath and nodded. Slowly, I stood up and went back in the house to rinse my

mouth out. Once that was done, I felt much better.

I rubbed my baby bump gently. "You better not do that again," I lightly scolded. I patted my abdomen and smiled at Inuyasha.

"I'm okay now," I assured him. "But let's go to Kaede's house. In the future, they have medication for morning sickness, so I want to see if there are any natural remedies in this time." Inuyasha still looked worried.

"Do you want anything before we go?" he asked. "Water, breakfast?" I made a face and shook my head.

"No food," I replied.

With that, Inuyasha picked me up, much like he had right before he told me I was pregnant, and started carrying me to Kaede's house. I didn't even bother protesting; instead, I just smiled and lay against his chest.

Inuyasha had told me I was pregnant about a week ago, so I was trying to adjust to the fact that there was a tiny human, well, human-yokai, growing in my uterus.

This was the first time I'd gotten sick, so I figured I was around six or seven weeks pregnant. I hadn't begun to show yet, which I figured was normal. Even so, I was wobbly enough to feel like I was six or seven months pregnant. Inuyasha was always saying how clumsy I was, and I guess being pregnant made it worse.

When we reached Kaede's house, I nearly got sick again.

I took a deep breath as Inuyasha carried me inside. As soon as we walked in, Kaede helped me sit down.

"What's wrong, child?" she asked. I pointed to my stomach.

"It's the baby's fault," I replied. I tried to smile. "I'm kidding," I added. "I just have pretty bad morning sickness." Kaede nodded and got up to look through some of her herbs.

"Here is a remedy that most of our pregnant women use," she explained as she handed a small bottle to me. "Just take a little bit when ye begin to feel nauseous and it'll help rid ye of the ailment."

I examined the bottle and put a little of the remedy in my hand. Once I'd taken it, I quickly began to feel better, and I turned to smile at Inuyasha. He still looked pretty nervous.

"Much better," I said as I took his hand. He eyed me.

"Are you sure?" he asked. I nodded.

We stayed at Kaede's house for a little while longer so she could give me some other things that pregnant women usually used.

Once we were all stocked up on remedies for pain, swollen feet, and some other crappy pregnant stuff that I didn't want to think about yet, Inuyasha and I left.

Instead of going to Goshinboku like usual, we went straight home to drop everything off.

Once we had them organized, Inuyasha sat down and looked at me.

"So, that's probably not going to happen again, right?" he asked. "Because it was pretty scary." I took his hand reassuringly.

"If Kaede's remedy works like it did today, then I should be fine," I replied. Inuyasha looked relieved, but also a little guilty.

"Okay, good," he said. "It was just…" He didn't finish, and that's when I began to get worried.

"It was just what?" I asked. Inuyasha looked at me sheepishly.

"It was just so nasty," he finally said. "Ugh." He flinched a little when he said that.

It almost seemed like he thought I was going to swat him, which I considered doing. Instead, I just laughed.

"It was nasty for me, too," I replied. "I hope it doesn't happen again, but if it does, then you don't have to look. Just stay inside."

Inuyasha looked annoyed. "I'm not gonna let you go outside and puke alone, baka," he scolded. "That's my kid you've got cooking in there, so we're in this together." It looked like he was trying his best to switch his disgust to a look of concern, and I couldn't help but laugh again.

I moved over to wrap my arms around his waist. "Thank you," I said sincerely. Inuyasha ran his hand through my hair.

"So, uh," he began as he wrapped a lock of my hair around his finger. "There isn't any other sort of gross stuff…right?"

I thought about all of the stuff Sango had told me about her pregnancies. According to what I'd heard, it'll only get worse.

"Don't worry, dear," I said. "We can talk about that later." Inuyasha looked like he was about to get riled up about any future "gross stuff," but I silenced him with a kiss.

After a few tries to pull away, he finally gave in and kissed me back passionately.

Even though things would get harder pretty quickly, I knew that Inuyasha would be there with me for everything. It's like he said: we're in this together. We can do it.

We were ready.

I hope you enjoyed this! I'm just playing around with some different random stories to fill in some stuff I didn't include in OOT. Chapters will be short, but I'll try to write and upload as much as possible! I still have OOT to finish and a couple others I'm working on and school, of course, so I'll do my best to post often. Hopefully this will keep you guys content until I can post more of this and OOT! :

Let me know what you think.
Much love. :)
