Kagome's Big News
Disclaimer: One day … I swear I will own InuYasha!
… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …
Days past with the same routine pretty much, during the day, Kagome would talk with the servants and occasionally check on their progress and she would also spend as much time as she could with Rin. The nights, though, were completely hers and Sesshomaru's. They would spend the dinner meal with Rin and then after watching the girl color with items Kagome had brought back from her time, everyone would retire.
A couple times, Kagome had actually convinced him to come and help her tuck Rin in for the night. Once the girl was sleeping, they would retire to their room and have the night to themselves.
The days had been absolutely wonderful.
This morning though, Kagome had slowly woken up to wave after wave of nausea. Groaning a little, Kagome opened her eyes, trying to hold everything down. Her eyes closed then shot open and she dashed from the bedroom, to the bathroom, emptying her stomach contents.
The sudden movement woke the demon lord and the put a robe on, going into the bathroom and seeing his mate leaning over the toilet bowl. He frowned a little, kneeling down. He didn't detect anything of sickness. He would have to ask her once she was … finished.
Finally, Kagome leaned back and Sesshomaru pulled her into his arms. "Kagome, are you alright?" She gave a little nod.
"Yeah, I feel fine now. I think I just ate something off." Before Sesshomaru could respond, two children were looking at them.
"Is okaa-san alright?" Rin asked curiously. Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm fine now. I'll just have a bath and then meet you all down for breakfast all right?" She stood and nearly had to push Sesshomaru out of the bathroom. Sometimes, he did act like InuYasha but much more refined and polite.
While having her bath, Kagome reflected on the conversation Sesshomaru had with his brother. It had started off choppy but both brothers eventually calmed their tempers and suspicions and were able to talk like civilized people. She smiled when she remembered InuYasha's face of shock and disbelief when Sesshomaru handed him the letter.
She knew it was going to take a while for them to really be able to get along and start acting the way brothers should act but at least it was a start.
Climbing out, she got prepared for a day just like the rest and she pushed all thoughts of that morning's strange happening out of her mind.
… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …
Kagome groaned again, feeling the familiar from yesterday morning. Her eyes shot open and she yet again dashed to the bathroom. What in the world was wrong with her?
Sesshomaru was apparently wondering the same thing because as soon as she had recovered, he had his arms firmly crossed over his chest.
"You are going to see a healer today." Kagome looked up at him and saw his no-nonsense expression and sighed, nodding.
"Alright."
… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …… … … … … … …
Kagome sat on the futon of the healer's hut, waiting for an answer.
The healer turned to her with a smile. She was an elderly youkai but was nice and kind to all of her patients, regulars or not.
"Congratulations, Lady Kagome. You are going to be a mother." Kagome blinked a little.
"Huh? Me? A … a mother?" The thought rolled around in her head and she was still thinking about it when she arrived back at the castle and as she was sitting on the bench in the gardens, watching Rin and Shippo play.
I'm … going to become a mother? I'm going to have a baby? Me? But … the father … should I tell him? Will he be mad? Doesn't he hate half demons? Well, maybe not. We thought he hated humans but … he adopted Rin and …I am mated to him …
"Okaa-san?" Rin's voice brought her out of her thoughts. Kagome blinked a little and smiled.
"Yes Rin?"
"Are you alright?" Kagome nodded a little.
"Hai, I am. Why do you ask?"
"Because it is dinner time." Kagome blushed a little. Time had passed so quickly so soon? She smiled down at the girl, taking her hand.
"Well, let's go." Rin nodded and they walked to dinner.

When Kagome was putting Rin to bed, she gently stroked the girl's hair. "Rin, what do you think about having a little brother or sister?"
Rin's eyes went wide. "Rin would like it very much! Rin would have someone to play with when Shippo-chan has to go away and when okaa-san is too busy to play with Rin!" Kagome laughed a little at the young girl's enthusiasm.
"Alright, alright, enough. Lay down and close your eyes now." She told her gently. Rin smiled and nodded, doing exactly what she had been told. Getting up, she placed a kiss on the child's forehead, walking to the door before blowing out the candles.
"Good night, Rin." She said softly before closing the door. Sighing a little, she leaned against it, putting a hand to her stomach. She still hadn't decided whether or not she was happy that she was pregnant. Thinking about Rin and Shippo, she smiled a little, pushing away from the wall.
She would be glad, she decided. After all, she knew she wanted a family, especially to have a baby that came from her and her mate, which turned out to be Sesshomaru. She was reluctant to tell him about her current condition. She really wasn't sure on how he would react. Would he be mad? Would he just go right back to being cold and emotionless? Would he send her away? Would he still want her?
That last question rung through her mind, she really wasn't sure if he would still want her or not when he found out. He did say that he loved her, though and she knew that she loved him back.
But would that be enough?

A/N: OOH! Cliffhanger! Hehe! Anyways … sorry this chapter is a bit shorter … it's kind of just a filler chapter … the REAL excitement will begin when Sesshy finds out that his mate is pregnant with HIS pups! Yes, I said pups, which should give you some kind of hint –evil smile-
inufluffy – Flames are very bad/insulting reviews, at least I'm pretty sure that's what they are!
MysticTenshi – Of course it's not the end! I could never just stop great fanfics like this! Hehe … don't I sound arrogant? Hehe!
