Note: I did take some lines from the show Friends and put them in here, so I'll add a disclaimer. I don't own Friends, but if I did, they wouldn't have gotten canceled. Anyway, on with the show!
Kagome twirled around in her beautiful wedding dress as her best friend watched. Sango had come a long way to watch the wedding and also to serve as a witness. Sango watched her friend and remembered the same joy she felt on her wedding day. She grunted in pain as the baby kicked again. It had been doing that a lot lately. It would have to wait for a few more months until it was ready enough. Kagome looked at her pregnant best friend and watched as she grunted in pain "What? What's wrong?" she asked, concerned. "Nothing; the baby kicked again. It's a strong one." She looked at her stomach and said, "Please don't hurt me." Kagome laughed as she helped Sango stand up.
Inuyasha looked tensely into the mirror. He looked very handsome in his tux, but he couldn't get his hair flat. Finally, he decided to put it in a long ponytail. He was nervous about what he was about to do. It wasn't that he was unhappy. He was ecstatic that Kagome was going to be his wife and mate. He knew, for sure, that Kagome was the one he wanted to spend his life with. It was just that he could slay the most powerful demons, but he couldn't go through his wedding. He was just so nervous that this one afternoon would change his life forever. Miroku came in and said, "Looks like you have butterflies in your stomach." "I didn't eat any, so how could I have butterflies in my stomach." Miroku started to laugh as Inuyasha stared at him blankly as Miroku explained. "No, that's not what it means. It means you're nervous." "Oh. Then, yeah, I have butterflies in my stomach." "You know, Inuyasha, I felt the same way when I was going to marry Sango. Not to make you more nervous, but marriage changed my life. After Sango and I got married, I haven't touched any other woman except her. It's been rough, but I've learned to ignore other women." "Well, for one thing, I never was a complete pervert, and I've never looked at any women since I met Kagome, except Kikyo, but I was a total idiot to fall for her." "Tell me Inuyasha, when did you figure out Kagome was 'the one'?" "I don't know. I think I've always known. It's just always been a feeling. Maybe since I saw her for the first time, not as Kikyo, as I thought, but someone, who, at a glance, was different" Then Miroku realized the wedding was about to start and hurried Inuyasha out of the room and shoved him towards the aisle and joined Sango walking down the aisle. Sango put her arm through Miroku's arm and they walked down the aisle, sat in a pew, and waited for Kagome.
Inuyasha watched as Kagome opened the door and stepped out. She was beautiful and that was only one way to say it. Radiant, perfect, jaw-dropping, stunning, and gorgeous also came to mind. She was wearing a long white dress that came to her ankles and the top was elegant. It stopped at her chest and the sleeves trailed to her mid-arms. She wore a pearl necklace with a set of pearl earrings. Her hair was straight, but at the front, it was curly. Sango had done a really good job on it. She wore white shoes that laced up to her ankles and she walked as gracefully as a cat. She joined Inuyasha at the altar as the holy man started (still don't know what they were called.). As he got to the vows, Shippo, who was the ring bearer, stood up and presented the rings. Kagome and Inuyasha each took one and said their vows. (won't go into details cuz I suck at details.). They slid the rings on each others fingers and looked at each other as the holy man said, "And now, Inuyasha, do you take Kagome as your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do" he said, as the butterflies in his stomach flew away. "Kagome, do you take Inuyasha as your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do." She said. "Very well, then you may kiss the bride." He said as Inuyasha leaned in and kissed Kagome softly on the lips. With that kiss, they sealed their vows. "I love you Kagome and I'll be there for you, always." "So will I. I love you too." As they broke apart, Kagome looked into her husband's beautiful honey eyes and said "Sealed with a kiss."
Since Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were the only ones there, they gathered together as Kagome threw her bouquet. Shippo jumped and caught it since Sango and Miroku let him.
They went back to the village and changed. Sango wore a pretty pink dress, Miroku wore his monk robes, and Inuyasha wore a T-shirt and black jeans that showed his defined abs and his muscular arms and Kagome wore a dark blue dress that matched the night sky. As they walked out, a girl fox demon came up to Shippo and told him that they had to go back to the pack. He tearfully said good-bye to Kagome as he and the girl walked away. Kagome saw her kiss him on the cheek and she smiled to herself. "Well, whatdaya know?" Inuyasha said. "The runt has a girlfriend." "Inuyasha, he has a name." "Sure does; it's runt." She grinned and hit him in the arm playfully. Then, Sango and Miroku announced that they had to go. Kagome hugged her best friend and her husband good-bye and she and Inuyasha waved to them until they were out of sight. "So," Inuyasha said as he turned to her, "when should we start a family?" "Soon" was Kagome's reply as they walked back to their hut.
One Month Later
Kagome walked up to Inuyasha under the Goshinboku. He was leaning against the trunk and staring at the setting sun. "Hey Inuyasha." She watched as he turned around and smiled. "Hey. What's up?" "Can I tell you something?" "Shoot" he said as she sat down. "God, she looks beautiful tonight." He thought as he stared into her melted chocolate colored eyes. She was wearing a cream colored shirt and denim jeans and her hair was in a ponytail that trailed over her shoulder and ended right at her chest. "Well, lately, as you know, I've been sick a lot and I think I know why." "Why? I really want to know how you've can eat more ramen than me now, and that's impossible." "Inu, I'm pregnant."
"Holy hell! You're PREGNANT!" he said, almost screamed. "Not so loud." She hissed. "Fine, but...I mean…how long have you been pregnant?" "A couple of weeks I think. Oh Inu, we're gonna be parents!" "Yeah, it's just, well; I wasn't expecting it." "But, on our wedding day, you asked when I wanted to start a family and I said 'Soon' and I'm pretty sure this is soon." "Yeah, you're right. We need to start thinking of names now." Kagome laughed and said, " Inu, we don't know if it's a boy or girl or even twins. How will we choose a name?" "There's that, but I guess we can figure out a name when it comes. Oh damn, I forgot. Kagome?" "Yeah?" "If you're pregnant, that means that the second it happened, you gained the age progression that a demon has. Don't ask me why, it just happens. So now you don't have to worry when you're old and shriveled about having a 20 year old husband." "Oh haha. Very funny. But I'm really aging like you now?" "Duh; I just told you that." "Like Tuck Everlasting Except without the water?" "What the hell is Tuck Everlasting?" Kagome forgot that they were 500 years before the book was made. "Never mind." "Kagome, you know why I married you?" "Because you love me?" "So I can kiss you any time I want." He said quoting the movie that they had watched earlier that year; Sweet Home Alabama. "Same here." She said as he grinned and leaned in and their lips touched. She wrapped her arms around his neck as their bodies molded together perfectly. The kiss was the first that their new family would share.
6 Months Later
(This goes in a time line kind of order. It was the only way I could think of.)
Inuyasha watched as Kagome talked with Sango. Sango, Miroku, and their son, Ryoku, had come to visit and Sango was over joyous that she was going to be a godmother when Kagome told her she was. "Really? Oh Kagome, this isn't an IOU, is it? I don't have to be the godmother just because you're Ryoku's." She had said. Kagome had had a hard time reassuring her that it wasn't an IOU and that it was because Sango is her best friend.
Kagome's due date was approaching fast and her belly was getting bigger each week, but that didn't stop her from being absolutely gorgeous in Inuyasha's eyes. He watched her almost every chance he got and whenever there was time to, kissed her. He suddenly realized the fact that he was going to be a father one night while he was sitting by Kagome in front of the fire (it's winter). He had already known that his wife was pregnant with his child, but it hadn't struck him that he was going to have a child(u know how it is with guys. They're a little slow on the uptake). As he stared into the glowing embers, it finally hit him. He was going to be a dad. His children would have his ears or hair or something he gave them. He knew Kagome was having a baby, but he didn't know the baby was having him. That night changed the way he thought about parenthood forever, but in a good way.
2 Months Later
Kagome looked down at the crying infant in her arms. She was lying in a bed in Kaede's hut and Kaede had gone to attend another villager's needs. She knew labor would be tough, but it was worth the tiny child in her arms. "What do you think we should call her?" she asked Inuyasha. "I don't know. How about Ishoku (bear with me on the names here people. I used Japanese to English online dictionary.)?" "Ishoku?" she said, looking down at the now sleeping baby. "Hmmm…. 'uniqueness'. That's perfect, so Ishoku it is." She said as Inuyasha leaned down to kiss her.
3 ½ years later
"Ish! Come back here!" Kagome yelled as the toddler was running around the field. "Come on Ish! We've got to get inside before it starts to rain!" she said as she looked up to the sky where dark clouds were forming. "Momma, I got you a fower." The little girl said as Kagome bent down to take the yellow daisy from Ishoku, who had taken the nickname Ish. "Thank you Ish. It's beautiful." Kagome said as the one year old glowed. "Now come on, Daddy's waiting." She picked Ish up and headed towards their new house.
She put Ish down as the small, girl ran towards the house. Inuyasha had built, with some help, a large house on the edge of the field. It had just started to pour as Kagome went inside. The house smelled like fresh flowers and ramen. She found Inuyasha trying to cook ramen. "Hey Inu. How's the ramen coming?" she said as she sat down at the table. "It's better than the first time I made it." He said as he poured it into 2 large bowls and a small one. "That first time, you almost set the house on fire. This time, you managed not to, so it wasn't a total disaster." She said giggling. "Feh." He said as he went to get Ish. He came back with the little girl holding her small hand. They sat down and started to eat.
"Ish really is unique. Her hair is a light brown instead of black and she has her father's eyes, but my character." Kagome thought as she ate her ramen. She and Inuyasha had finally started a family and she wanted it to grow. If Ish had a brother or sister, she wouldn't be lonely. She'd have someone to play with and not have to walk all the way to the village just to be shunned since she was a hanyou and human's daughter. The only thing that kept them going to the village was Kaede, but without her, the villagers would stay afraid of Inuyasha becoming a demon and since she married him, their view of Kagome had sunk since she had mated with a hanyou.
When she told Inuyasha of Ish getting a sibling after they put her to bed, he smiled. "Well, we shouldn't wait now, should we?" he said as he shut their door and pulled her onto the bed and they spent the rest of the night making love. A couple days later, Kagome woke with the urge to puke. The smell of eggs from the kitchen made her sick. She ran to the bathroom and vomited into the sink. She pulled an EPT out of the cabinet and tested it.
Inuyasha was downstairs making scrambled eggs when he heard Kagome walk into the kitchen. "Mornin'" he said as he turned and saw her face.
