CHAPTER I: Surprise

"Hey, are you alright, koibito?" Inuyasha asked, holding Kagome's hair back as she randomly started throwing up.

"Um……I think so…" Kagome muttered weakly. So much for a relaxing walk in the woods.

"Do you want to go see Kaede?" he asked gently, helping her up.

Kagome winced. Her stomach was aching. "Yeah..." she said quietly. She felt horrible.

"Alright, come on," Inuyasha helped her walk, carefully holding her up.

On their journey back to Kaede's hut, Kagome threw up again. Her head was pounding, she felt extremely nauseas and she was sweating. Inuyasha gave her a concerned look.

They finally made it to Kaede's and Kagome sat down on the bed. Inuyasha sat on the floor next to her.

"What is wrong, Kagome?" Kaede asked, placing a hand on Kagome's forehead.

"I don't know...I feel terrible..." Kagome whimpered.

Kaede continued to interrogate Kagome and check her temperature. Kaede had an idea of what was going on, but she wasn't sure...

"I think I know what's wrong, Kagome. But to see if I'm right, ye need to leave the room, Inuyasha," Kaede said, talking to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had never questioned the old miko, and if it would make Kagome feel better, he would do what she said. He left the room.

He sat outside, feeling particularly bored, when suddenly Sango walked over to him, accompanied by Shippo and Miroku.

"What's with Kagome?" Sango asked Inuyasha.

"I don't know, we were just taking a walk when all of a sudden she started throwing up," Inuyasha replied, looking up at the hut concernedly.

"Maybe she ate something bad?" Shippo asked.

"Not that I know of," Inuyasha replied, sighing.

Suddenly there was a shriek inside the hut, from Kagome. Startled, everyone rushed in to see if everything was okay.

Kagome appeared to be in a daze. She was staring at Kaede with an expression of pure shock and she was blushing deeply. Kaede was beaming at her.

"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked, looking at Kagome and Kaede confusedly.

Kagome, realizing that Inuyasha was in the room, swayed on the spot, and wobbled, almost as if her legs suddenly couldn't hold her up. And, very suddenly, shefainted.

Inuyasha rushed over and caught her, then gave Kaede a questioning look. Kaede laughed.

"What's so funny?" Inuyasha growled, slightly aggravated. He was holding an unconscious Kagome in his arms and Kaede was laughing?

"What's happened?" Miroku asked as he, Sango and Shippo rushed into the room.

Kaede was simply radiating with joy.

"What's wrong with Kagome?" Shippo shouted, looking over at Inuyasha, who was holding her.

"That's what I'd like to know!" Inuyasha growled, glaring at Kaede.

"There's nothing wrong with her!" Kaede laughed, still beaming. "She's pregnant!"

Miroku's staff fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Wha...what?" Inuyasha asked hoarsely. It was his turn to blush. His face could have been easily mistaken for a white-haired tomato.

"You're...you're kidding, right?" Sango asked, barely above a whisper.

Kaede shook her head.

There was a long silence.

Until Shippo suddenly shouted, "I'M GONNA HAVE A SIBLING! WOOHOOO!" and began dancing around the room.

Everybody just stared at him and he continued to dance around the room.

Shippo's outburst had sort of gotten everyone out of their trance. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome.

He stared at her for a long time.

She...she's pregnant?

Suddenly a horrible thought came into Inuyasha's head.

Koga...

"Kaede...is it..." Inuyasha stuttered, unsure of how to say this. "Is it...mine?"

The question startled everyone including Shippo.

"Come on Shippo, let's go outside for a little while," Sango coaxed, quickly taking Shippo's hand and dragging Miroku out of the hut as well.

Kaede sighed. "I hadn't thought of that...but I don't know yet, Inuyasha. But chances are, it is. If it were Koga's, we would have seen signs of it long before now."

Inuyasha gave a sigh of relief, sort of involuntarily. Inuyasha and Kaede fell silent suddenly hearing Sango and Miroku conversing outside.

"I knew it!" Miroku said proudly.

"Shut it, Miroku," Sango hissed at him.

"I told you that's what they were doing! I knew it!" Miroku said cheerfully.

Kaede turned away from Inuyasha's even redder face to laugh quietly into her hand.

"Miroku, will you shut up? You are such a hentai..." Sango told him shaking her head.

"But I'm your hentai!" he grinned at her, groping her once again.

SLAP!

"Just because you're my hentai doesn't mean I can't slap you," Sango said, laughing as she got up to knock on the door of the hut.

"Is everything okay in there?" Sango asked cautiously.

"Yes, everything's fine!" Kaede called back, trying to suppress her laughter.

Inuyasha was ready to start begging the floor to swallow him.

He looked down at Kagome and suddenly smiled and hugged her.

"Inu...yasha?" Kagome asked, finally coming to.

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled widely.

But then he noticed she had a very concerned look on her face.

"Is everything okay, koi?" he asked her, his amber eyes filled with concern.

"I...don't know...are you okay...with...this?" Kagome stuttered. She was blushing again.

"Kagome, I'm more than okay," Inuyasha assured her. "I'm happy! We're gonna have a kid, for God's sake! How could I not be happy?" he said excitedly. He sounded like a little boy at Christmas.

She giggled.

Then laughed.

Then threw her arms around Inuyasha and they laughed together.


And that is chapter one! Now I promise I will update this ASAP. Sorry to all those of you I have kept waiting!
