A/N: Yes, this is the final chapter of this story, but look out for the SEQUEL! Yes, I will be doing a sequel, after my ROTS fic is done. But for now, relax and enjoy the FLUFFY ENDING!

Chapter 25: A New Story Begins

Four Months Later…

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. The sun was all ready up and shining through the window. She sighed. I love mornings…Especially since…She grinned as she felt a muscular arm tighten around her waist.

"Morning." Her hanyou said, kissing the back of her neck.

Kagome turned around so she could look at him. She loved looking at him in the mornings. Especially since he usually didn't have a shirt on. She remembered a year ago, she would silently squeal whenever he went shirtless, but of course, now, all she had to do to see his naked torso was to ask. She smiled. "Morning. If you were awake, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"I didn't want to disturb you. You said you weren't feeling good last night."

"Yeah, I wasn't." She said. "But I'm feeling better this morning."

"How much better?" He asked, running his fingers through her hair.

"Significantly." She replied, just as Inuyasha kissed her slowly. Sometimes, like now, Kagome could barely believe what she had. After all, five months ago, she would have given anything for this moment. She wouldn't believe this would ever come true. Yet it was true. Inuyasha loved her as much as she loved him. And every morning and every night, he had to remind her.

He finished kissing her and moved down to her neck, lingering there for sometime.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said, but he didn't move.

Sometimes he is just like a dog…she thought. He just won't listen…

"Inuyasha…" She said a bit more forcefully, but he still didn't move.

"INUYASHA!"

He pulled back. "What?"

She sighed. "You're going to give me a hickey. And you don't want Miroku seeing that do you? Not after what happened last time…"

The hanyou stared at her, and then smiled. "True." And he kissed her lovingly.

"Inuyasha, are we ever going to get out of bed?" She asked, tweaking his ear.

"I don't think the world would end if we stay here a little bit longer, do you?"

"Nope." She said, kissing him on the cheek.

All of a sudden, the smell of cooked fish came in through the window. It hit Kagome hard. She instantly felt her stomach churn. Oh no…and I was feeling better this morning…

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha!" She said, covering her mouth. "I'm gonna be—"

She didn't need to finish. Inuyasha leapt out of bed and grabbed their water bucket, and shoved it under her in the nick of time.

When she had finished emptying the contents of her stomach, he rubbed her back. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah. I'm f-fine." She said, trembling. "I probably j-just ate something funny last night…"

"Here." He said, offering her a water bottle that she had kept. She drank a bit of water, while Inuyasha looked at her in concern. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.

"Uh-huh." She said, taking another gulp of water. "It's probably nothing." She didn't want to tell him she still felt like throwing up.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yeah. Don't worry about it. I'll be fine."

"Maybe you should see Kaede." He said, pulling on his undershirt.

"Inuyasha, I told you, I'm fi—"

"No." he said sharply. "If you're sick, you need some medicine."

She sighed. "All right."

"Okay. Come on." He tossed Kagome her blue yukata. "Miroku and Sango are probably going to barge in on us again, and we don't want a repeat of—"

"What happened last time." Kagome finished, pulling on her yukata. Just as she had fastened it, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou walked in.

"Ah. You're awake. And dressed this time." Miroku added with a grin.

"Monk…" Inuyasha warned. "It was your own fault for barging in on us so early! And I thought I told you to stay out until noon!"

"It is noon, Inuyasha." Miroku replied. "My, my, you must have been up late last night."

The hanyou made a fist. "Say that again, and you're dead!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome warned him. "Anyway, what are you guys doing here right now?"

"Well, we thought we'd tell you there's a festival in the village today." Sango said.

"That sounds fun! But…" Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "I'm not sure if he'll let me join in the fun."

"You're sick! Of course you're not going!" he yelled.

"You're sick, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.

"Just a little bit. I think I ate something funny…"

Shippou jumped into her lap, sniffing her. "I don't smell anything unusual. Except you smell a lot like Inuyasha."

Kagome turned bright red. Shippou looked over at Sango. "And she smells a lot like Miroku. What's going on? Ever since you two got married you've smelled like that."

"Um…well…" Kagome said.

"We'll explain it when you're older." Sango replied, also turning red.

Miroku grinned. "Ah yes. Shippou, when you're older, I shall teach you all about the wonders of a woman's body…"

Sango slapped him. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE THE ONE TEACHING HIM!"

"Look you guys, this is no time to be goofing off! Kagome is sick!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Yes, we got that part." Miroku said. "And what do you propose we do about it?"

"I'll go take her to Kaede's." Inuyasha said, picking Kagome up.

"Are you sure this is necessary?" She asked.

"You're sick. You're going to see Kaede. No buts." He jumped out the door and walked into the village.

Instantly, Kagome was hit with the many smells of cooking. Her stomach started churning. "Inuyasha…" She said, covering her mouth.

"Hang on! Not until we get there!" He said, running around the many streamers, flowers, and other decorations people had put up. Finally, he burst into the hut.

Kaede looked mildly surprised. "Kagome, Inuyasha, what brings you two here."

"Kagome's sick." Inuyasha said, as Kagome took deep breaths to calm her still churning stomach.

"Sick?" Kaede asked. "What are the symptoms?"

Kagome took a deep breath. "My stomach…and I keep getting sick…"

Kaede seemed to have a small smile on her face. "And when did this start?"

"Well, I was feeling a little nauseous yesterday, and today I got sick…"

"And did ye eat anything unusual yesterday?" the old miko asked.

"No. Nothing out of the ordinary." Kagome said, glad she was able to calm her stomach.

Kaede's smile widened. "Inuyasha, can I ask ye to leave the hut for a moment?"

"Huh? Why?"

"These are matters for women to discuss."

"Hey! I'm not leaving Kagome here by herself!"

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said softly. "Please, leave just this once."

He sighed. "Fine. But you had better tell me what's wrong with you!" And with that, he left.

Kagome looked back at Kaede, who was now smiling. "What's going on? What's wrong with me? Why are you smiling?" Kagome asked.

Kaede turned around and picked up a few herbs. "There is nothing wrong with ye, Kagome. It is only natural for women. But, I did think I'd see Sango like this first..."

Kagome still didn't understand. "Wh-what do you mean? I still don't…"

Kaede gave her the herbs. "Boil this and drink the broth. It will help with ye sickness. Do not worry; it will stop after a few months"

"F-few months? Kaede…what is going on?" Kagome had a suspicion, but she didn't want to believe it. Something she had picked up from her mother talking long ago.

Kaede smiled. "Kagome, ye are pregnant."

Kagome stared for a moment. "P-p-pregnant?"

"Aye. It is only to be expected sooner or later."

Kagome still couldn't believe it. "Me…pregnant…"

"Don't trouble yourself, Kagome. I've seen many women in your condition come here. They all have the same reaction. But listen well, Kagome, there are a few things about your condition you need to know…"

But Kagome didn't listen. She was still in too much of a shock. I…pregnant…that means…Inuyasha and I…we're going to have a baby!

"K-Kaede…what am I supposed to tell Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"The truth. And you had better tell him soon. Otherwise he might find out in other ways."

"R-right…" Kagome got up, still in shock. "I-I guess I should just go tell him then."

"Kagome, do not worry yourself. I'm sure Inuyasha will be thrilled." Kaede said.

Kagome took one last look at her, and then turned around and walked out of the hut.

She found Inuyasha sitting on a hill looking over the village. "Inuyasha?" She said. I'd better tell him now…

He looked at her as she sat down. "You feel better?"

"A little. Kaede gave me some herbs that will help." He's going to ask…I know he's going to ask…

"So, what's wrong?" He asked.

Oh man…this is it…he's not going to like it… "Well…It's kinda hard to explain. You see…I…well…"

"Go on." He said.

"Well, you see, this sickness I keep getting won't last long, only for a few months and then…well, I…you, we…"

"Kagome, it's okay, just tell me." He said in a calming voice.

She closed her eyes in mental preparation. He's really not going to like this… "Inuyasha…I, well, we are…I am…I-I'm p-pregnant!"

He stared. Any thoughts he had in his head were instantly forgotten as he pondered this sentence. For a second, it was as if he couldn't believe it. And his eyes looked towards her midsection.

The silence was almost too much to bear for Kagome. "I-Inuyasha?"

He finally spoke. "You…you are…we…you mean…p-p-p-p-pregnant?"

He doesn't seem to be taking this well. She nodded. "Yes. I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby."

"A-a-a kid?"

"Uhmm." She said, worried about what he might say.

"That means, that I'm…I'm a father!" he smiled.

Kagome was surprised by his reaction. "Y-you're not mad?"

He hugged her. "Mad? Kagome, how could I be mad? I mean…I'm going to be a father!"

"Yes…but…it's so sudden!" Kagome said. "I'm not sure if I'm ready…"

"You'll be a great mother." Inuyasha said. "You're the one who took care of Shippou most of the time. And I remember how you took care of all of us, including me. Don't worry about the baby now. We should be more worried about telling Miroku."

Kagome laughed, and Inuyasha grabbed her and kissed her. He loved her, this girl who had given him everything, everything a hanyou shouldn't have. This woman who had given him friendship, trust, love, and now…a family.

A/N: Well it's the end! But I'm going to continue the story in the sequel. I'll do that after I finish my star wars fic, which won't take to long. I hope you all come in and review for the next one! See ya!

I'd also like to thank everyone who reviewed. The list is way to long to list every one, but here's my thank you!

Miroku pops out of a cake naked. "Hello lovely ladies, will anyone bear my child?"

Well, enjoy it, before…

Sango bursts into the room holding Hiraikotsu menacingly. "MIROKU!"

"Yeeep!" Miroku breaks into a run, with Sango running after him.

Tee hee…anyway, byesies!
