"Emmett, the baby doesn't even have ears yet, they can't hear you."
"You don't know that, what if the baby develops as fast as Renesmee?"
"Love, if that was the case, I would be further along by now. And you said it yourself, you barely heard the heartbeat."
Emmett pouts, "Aw, so you don't think your pregnancy will be fast like Bella's"
"No offense to Bella, Baby, but I hope not. I want a long and happy pregnancy, not a short frantic one. So you're just gonna have to wait through this like every other daddy," Kagome tells her husband.
"I'm gonna be a daddy, I can't believe it," Emmett said giving his wife the biggest dimpled smile.
Kagome caresses his face, "Yes, you are, and you're going to be the best daddy in the world."
Emmett leans up and kisses Kagome, "I love you, Kagome."
"I love you too, Emmett," Kagome says then kisses him again.
They break apart and Emmett crawls out of bed, "Okay, I need to get you something to eat, so what would you like, Babe?"
"I would like to eat with the rest of the family, Emmett. You don't have cater to my every need."
"But, I want to." He says with a pout.
Kagome giggles, "Fine, you can, but once I start showing, or better yet when I can't do things for myself anymore. In the meantime just treat me like you normally do."
"This is the way I normally treat you."
"Okay, fine, but don't go overboard."
"Right, so then I'll ask Esme to get breakfast started then we'll take a shower."
Emmett leans down, kisses Kagome and heads downstairs. When he gets to the kitchen, he sees that Esme has already started on breakfast. Emmett comes up behind her and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Esme, for starting breakfast."
"My pleasure, Emmett, and congratulations again on the baby."
Emmett beams at Esme, then hugs her, "Thank you, I'm so happy and excited to be a father."
Carlisle, who had been sitting at the island reading the paper, looked at Emmett and smiled, "I'm sure you are, Emmett, but tell me how did you know Kagome was pregnant?"
"I had my head on her belly and I heard the baby's heartbeat, very faintly, but I heard it."
"Interesting," Carlisle said mostly to himself.
"Why do you say that, Carlisle?"
"Well, if my calculations are correct, Kagome's about 22 days along which means that what you heard was probably the first time the baby's heart started beating."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, what amazes me, even more, is that you heard it at all. Your hearing is even better than I thought. I wouldn't be able to hear the heartbeat on an ultrasound until Kagome is six weeks along."
"Holy shit."
"Emmett!"
"Sorry, Esme," Emmett says while Carlisle chuckles.
"It's alright, Emmett, why don't you go see if Kagome is ready for breakfast? I'm sure she must be hungry."
At the mention of his wife's name, he disappeared upstairs. Walking into the bedroom he saw that she had fallen asleep again. He went over and gently kissed her.
"Babe, breakfast is almost ready, time to get up."
"Carry me to the bathroom, Em."
Emmett laughed and carried Kagome to the bathroom. He set her down and turned on the shower while Kagome did her business and brushed her teeth. Once the water was ready he stripped down and got in the shower.
"Don't make me shower alone, Babe."
"If I must," Kagome sighed playfully causing Emmett to pout.
They showered, got out, got dressed and went downstairs. By that time everyone was already waiting for them in the kitchen. The minute Bella sees Kagome she gets up and hugs her cousin, still excited over the news from last night.
"I still can't believe it, you're having a baby!"
"Neither can I, Emmett and I are so excited!"
"So is Nessie, she's been flashing pictures of babies in my head since she woke up," Jacob said.
"I wonder how long your pregnancy will be, considering that Emmett isn't completely human," Rosalie asked.
"There's only one way to find out, we have to ask Sesshomaru. We have to tell him anyway."
"Why is that?" Jasper asked.
"He's going to want to know that two of his pack members are breeding," Kagome said with a laugh.
"How do you suppose he's going to take it?" Esme asked.
"Honestly, I have no idea. I guess we'll find out when I call him."
After breakfast, she and Emmett go upstairs to call Sesshomaru, this was something that he needs to be made aware of as soon as possible. Who knows how he would react to the news. Kagome grabs her phone then goes out onto the balcony, she dials his number and waits.
"Miko."
"Hello, Sesshomaru how are you?"
"This Sesshomaru is doing well. To what does this One owe this call, He did not expect a phone call until after your honeymoon."
"Emmett and I came back early, there was a little problem with my cousin and she needed my help."
"What sort of problem?"
"She got pregnant on her honeymoon," Kagome tells him.
"She is dead."
"No, no she did have some problems, but I was able to pull her out of it. Her husband did leave her though."
"Explain."
Kagome then began to tell Sesshomaru everything that happened. She even told him of the pack's plan to kill her. She had no other choice, Sesshomaru would know if she left anything out.
"Foolish mongrels did they not realize that you could have easily killed them all with a simple barrier and that you are immortal."
"They were frightened and not thinking clearly, I understand their reaction and don't blame them in the least bit."
"Of course you don't, you are too kind for your own good sometimes, Miko."
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I have every intention of purifying Edward to hell if I ever see him again for what he did to my cousin. All the hell he put her through and she wasn't even his mate."
Sesshomaru smirked on his end of the line, "Good, the vermin deserves nothing less. But that is not the reason you have called this One, there is something else going on."
Kagome paused and looked at Emmett, he gave her an encouraging smile. Kagome took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"I'm pregnant, Sesshomaru."
"There was a long pause, so long that Kagome thought that maybe Sesshomaru hung up.
"Hello?"
"You will need to be examined, Miko. Your mate is neither human nor vampire, he is more Hanyou now, though stronger than others as it is this One's blood that runs in his veins. It is important to determine whether you will have a human pregnancy or a Youkai one."
"What's the difference?"
If it is Youkai pregnancy, it will be the same length as an Inuyoukai pregnancy which will be seven months as opposed to a human's nine. You will need to be seen by a Youkai healer, the vampire doctor is not good enough."
"Is that how long Inuyasha's mother was pregnant with him?"
"Yes, you will also need to be on a special diet which this One will provide for you. How did you come to learn of your pregnancy?"
"Emmett heard the heartbeat when he had his head on my tummy."
"So then that would mean he impregnated you your first night together."
Kagome blushed, "Yes."
"This One is not surprised, Youkais are very fertile, also you must have gone into heat."
Kagome's blush deepened.
"At any rate, This One will ensure that your pregnancy goes well. And when the time comes for the birth this One will be present as will the rest of the pack. Your Kit will be sent to you along with a healer, they will arrive the day after tomorrow. In the meantime, do not do anything strenuous, however, you may continue to mate."
With that said, Sesshomaru hung up. Kagome stood there with her mouth hanging open, she couldn't believe that Sesshomaru had told her it was okay to continue to have sex. Emmett, who had heard the whole thing, was trying desperately not to laugh, but when Kagome turned around and looked at him he lost it. He doubled over laughing so hard he had tears coming out of his eyes.
"It's not funny!"
"Yes, it is, we basically got permission from Sesshomaru to continue with our sex life."
Emmett suddenly stopped laughing. Kagome could see a glint in his eyes, then he started stalking towards her and growled. Kagome couldn't help but take a step back. In an instant, Kagome went from standing on their balcony to lying on their bed with Emmett kissing and sucking on her neck. She surrendered to the feeling. Closing her eyes she let Emmett do whatever he wanted.
Three hours later, Kagome and Emmett came downstairs. Jasper smirked when he saw them.
"Damn that was a long ass call."
Kagome blushed, and Emmett smirked.
"Jasper."
"Yeah."
"Shut up."
Jasper started laughing, he wiped away an imaginary tear then looked at them, "No, really what did Sesshomaru say?"
"He said I need to be examined by a Youkai healer to determine if it will be a human pregnancy or a Youkai one. So Shippou and a healer will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"What's the difference," Bella asked.
"The only thing that Sesshomaru told me is that if it's a Youkai pregnancy, it will be seven months instead of nine. I'm sure the healer will let me know if there are any other differences."
Bella nods.
So, they went about their daily lives and waited for Shippou to show up with this Youkai healer. In that time period, Kagome decided that she and Emmet should head down to La Push to see if everything was alright between them and the wolves. Emmett didn't want to go, he was still bitter that the wolves targeted his mate.
"Emmett, you heard what I told Sesshomaru, they did it out of fear. I don't hold anything against them."
Emmett huffed and crossed his arms, "You know, I'm gonna have to agree with Sesshomaru, you're too kind for your own good sometimes."
"But you love me anyway."
Emmett's frown turned into a great big dimpled smile, he wraps his arms around Kagome, "Yes I do, very much."
"Okay then let's go."
"Fine, let's go."
They get into Emmett's jeep and head down to La Push. Upon arriving Emmett drives to Emily's house and parks next to Sam's truck. He gets out of the Jeep and opens the door for his wife.
"Are we going to tell them about your pregnancy?"
"I don't know we'll see how this meeting goes."
They walk hand in hand to Emily's house and knock. Emily opens the door when she sees Kagome and Emmett, she covers her mouth in shock then hugs Kagome.
"Kagome, I'm so glad to see you. I thought after what happened we'd never see you and Emmett again."
Kagome hugs Emily back then pulls away from her. "So you know what happened?"
"Yes, I was so angry with Sam, he should have come and talked to the Elders first before going on a rampage."
"He was scared, Emily, he wanted to protect you and the tribe. I understand that."
"That's no excuse, but please won't you and Emmett come inside?"
Kagome and Emmett thanked Emily and walked into her house. She was in the middle of making lunch when they had arrived and she invited them to stay.
"I'm assuming you want to talk with Sam and Paul."
"Yes."
"They should be here shortly, along with Rachel and the rest of the pack. In the meantime, Emmett would you like a muffin?"
"Hell yeah, you make the best muffins, Emily."
Emily giggled, "Thank you, Emmett, have as many as you want."
Emily goes to the kitchen to get Emmett some banana nut muffins and milk, then she sits down with Kagome to talk.
"So, how are Bella and the baby?"
"They're good, Renesmee is growing very quickly, it's kind of worrisome. She looks like a nine-month-old instead of a newborn. But she's a great little girl."
"I heard that Charlie knows everything."
"Yeah, I didn't feel right keeping him out of the loop and Bella agreed with me. So we told him everything. And just in case I gave him a bracelet that will protect him from malicious vampires. Which reminds me, Emmett, be a dear and grab my purse from the Jeep."
Emmett was in the middle of eating his third muffin, he swallowed then gets off the sofa to go get Kagome's purse. The girls watch him walk out, and Emily laughs.
"You have him well trained."
"Yes, I do."
"I heard that!"
Emily and Kagome start giggling when Emmett comes back in the house with a frown.
"Oh, poor baby, have another muffin," Emily tells him and hands him a blueberry muffin this time.
He smiles at her and takes the muffin, "Thank you, Emily."
Kagome and Emily look at each other and roll their eyes. Emmett hands Kagome her purse so that she can get out what she brought Emily. She pulls out some bracelets and gives them to Emily.
"Here, I made you and the other imprints bracelets against malicious vampires. I thought that you of all people would be at the most risk and having so many in one area creates a barrier around the town."
Emily is stunned, after everything Sam tried to do, Kagome is still willing to help them. She gives the younger woman a crushing hug and thanks her.
"It was no problem, I consider you family and I protect my family."
At that moment they here a howl outside, announcing the arrival of the pack. Emily was expecting the pack to come running into the house but they don't, she goes to the door and sees that they're all milling around outside unsure of what to do.
Emily steps out onto the porch, "Is there a problem guys?"
Sam and Paul look at each other then at the Jeep park up front. "Are Kagome and Emmett here?"
Emily's eyes narrow as she looks at Sam, "You know they are, I know you picked up their scent the minute you got here, Sam. I'll ask again, is there a problem?"
Sam fidgets nervously and looks at the ground, "No there isn't, I just wasn't sure that they would want to see us after what happened."
Emily crossed her arms, "Why wouldn't they, you're the reason they're here. Kagome, Emmett, there are people here to see you."
Kagome and Emmett step out of the house holding hands. She looks up at Emmett who looks down at her and nods, Kagome gives Emmett a big smile and walks towards Sam. Sam feels so ashamed he can't even look at her.
Kagome stands in front of Sam, "I understand why you did what you did, Sam, and I forgive you."
Sam's head pops up and he looks at Kagome stunned. He never thought that she would ever forgive him for what he had done.
"Thank you, Little Sister, you have no idea how much that means to me."
"And to me too, Kagome," Paul says as he comes over towards Kagome.
"Can I get a hug," Paul asks.
"Of course." She says and hugs the daylights out of Paul, then Sam hugs them both.
Jared walks up to them after they stop hugging. He rubs the back of his neck, "Um, Kagome, I want to apologize, it was my idea to take you down first."
Kagome laughs, That's okay Jared, it was a good plan, but it never would have worked. I can put up barriers, remember? You would have just ended up purifying yourselves."
Jared shivers then laugh nervously. While the rest of the group is talking to Kagome, Sam goes up to Emmett. They stare at each other for a moment then Emmett offers his hand, Sam takes it and Emmett pulls him into a hug.
"I'm sorry, Emmett."
"I know, you just wanted to keep Emily safe. It took me a while to accept that but had it been reversed, I would have done the same thing for Kagome."
"Thank you for understanding, why don't you and Kagome stay for lunch?"
"Yeah, Emily already invited us."
"Good, well then let's eat," Paul says as he walks over and claps Emmett on the back.
They all go inside and sit at the table while Emily and Kagome bring everything to the table. They all dig in and had a wonderful lunch, while they were eating, Kagome explained to Sam about the bracelet and he thanked her for them. After lunch, Kagome offered to help Emily clean up, but she told her it was okay. So she and Emmett said their goodbye's and went home.
"How did it go," Kostas asked when they walked in the house.
"Everything is back to normal," Kagome said with a smile.
"That's good I'm happy for you."
"Yeah me too, now if you'll excuse us, Emmett and I are going to take a nap."
"We are?"
Kagome gives him a sexy look and starts walking upstairs swaying her hips, "Yes we are, Emmett, let's go."
"Hell yeah, I mean right, Kagome, let's go take a nap," Emmett said with a grin.
Kostas rolls his eyes, "Yeah, okay, go enjoy your 'nap.' "
Emmett wiggles his eyebrows at his brother then takes off after Kagome. Kostas laughs and shakes his head.
"Gross."
