"Hello, little sister," Ginta says as he catches Kagome when she throws herself into his arms.
"Ginta, it's so good to see you. Where's Hakkaku?"
"He had another job to work on in San Francisco. Our construction company is in very high demand."
"Oh, I'm sorry to pull you away from your work."
"Think nothing of it, Kagome, anything for a pack member."
At this point, Emmett and the others come out as well. Emmett goes to shake Ginta's hand, but he pulls Emmett into a hug, "You're part of the pack, Emmett, no need to be formal."
Emmett laughs and hugs him back, "How have you been, how is everyone else?"
"Everyone is great, Kouga and Miyuki are going to have another litter pretty soon. So your little one will have playmates." Ginta tells them.
"How did you know?" Kagome asked.
"Your scent has changed, Kagome."
Kagome turns to Emmett and smacks him, "Did you know that?"
"Yeah, but I didn't know why? You smell better."
Kagome blushes, and everyone laughs. At this point, Carlisle and the others make their way down to greet Ginta and his crew. Shippou and Ginjiro are the last to come down to introduce their mates. Ginta and Shippou hug and Shippou pulls Leah closer to him.
"Ginta, I'd like you to meet my mate, Leah Clearwater," Leah smiles at the wolf Youkai and offers her hand.
"Leah, I remember you from the battle, you're one of the shapeshifters from the reservation, right?"
"Yes, I am Ginta. It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you, Tell me how long have you been mates," Ginta asks.
"It isn't official yet, but we barely discovered it yesterday," Shippou informed him.
"Does Sesshomaru know yet?"
"Of course. And Sesshomaru approves."
Ginta nods. Ginjiro walks over towards Ginta and hugs him as well.
"Ginta it's been a long time, how are you."
"Good, Ginjiro, what brings you here?"
"I'm Kagome's healer for her pregnancy per Lord Sesshomaru's orders."
"That's good; Kagome deserves the best."
"That she does. Ginta, I'd like to introduce you to my mate Bella Swan."
Ginta looks at Bella surprised, Bella blushes. "I'm sorry I thought you already had a mate."
"It turned out to be a lie. Edward was only interested in my blood."
Ginta gasped, "That vermin," He looked at the other vampires, "No offense."
Jasper smiled, "None taken, we think the same thing."
Ginta nods, "So, Ginjiro, Miss Swan ended up being your mate, and is this your Kit?"
"She will be when I officially adopt her, once Bella is divorced."
Now that all the introductions had been made, Ginta and his crew went over the plans with Esme then went to look at the construction site. Ginta approves of all the trees that Emmett, Shippou, Ginjiro and the vampires had cleared out. But he tells them that they'll need more lumber.
"Fortunately I already contacted a local logging company that will be bringing us a few loads of timber. And the stones that are needed will also be delivered from the nearby quarry. But before any of that can happen, we need to clear a road for them to get up here."
So that was the first thing that the Youkais got to work on, The Youkai dropped their glamours and changed forms and began ripping out the trees until they got closer to the road then the Youkai did it the conventional way. Once a path they cleared a path, the Youkai used their equipment to smooth out and pave the road up to the land.
An hour later, the trucks came rolling in with their orders and dropped everything off. Once the vehicles left the road was blocked off, and the real work began. Emmett asked Ginta if he could help since it was his and Kagome's house he wanted to have a hand in building it. Ginta told him that it was fine.
And so it went While Ginta, Emmett, and the construction crew worked from sun up until late in the evening while Kagome and the other would prepare food for them.
As the construction progressed, so did Kagome's pregnancy. She was beginning to come down with morning sickness and would bolt out of bed in the morning with Emmett right behind her to comfort his wife. Emmett would hold her hair and rub soothing circles on Kagome's back. When Kagome would finish wretching, Emmett would hand her a glass of water so she could rinse out her mouth.
"Thank you, Baby."
"You're welcome, Babe. Do you need anything?"
"No, let me brush my teeth and get back in bed for a while longer."
Kagome brushed her teeth, then Emmett picked her up and carried her back to bed, "I'm going to bring you some crackers and 7-up to settle your stomach."
"Thank you, Emmett."
"Anything for you, sweetheart."
Emmett went downstairs to the kitchen to get the crackers and 7-up and found Kostas and Rosalie sitting in the living room talking. They looked up when they heard Emmett in the kitchen.
"Everything alright, brother," Kostas asked.
"Yeah, Kagome's having a little morning sickness."
Rosalie gave him a sympathetic look. Emmett grabbed the crackers, and the 7-up and a little bit of dried demon meat then went back upstairs. Emmett goes into his and Kagome's bedroom and hands Kagome the crackers and 7-up.
"There you go, Baby."
Kagome gives Emmett a grateful smile and begins to eat her crackers. Instantly her stomach begins to settle. She begins to drink her soda, and her belly begins to settle even more.
"I also brought you a little bit of demon meat if you can stomach it."
"Yeah, I think I can."
Kagome eats some of the dried watermelon demon meat and sighs, "That hit the spot."
Emmett crawls into bed while Kagome puts the crackers and soda on the nightstand. She snuggles with her husband and goes back to sleep for a little while longer.
Later that morning, Kagome and Emmett go downstairs for breakfast, but the minute Kagome smells the bacon she rushes to the nearest bathroom to empty her stomach. Esme puts a lid on the pan of bacon and turns the fan on to get rid of the smell. When Kagome finishes wretching, Emmett carries her back upstairs and takes her to the bathroom so Kagome can clean up. Emmett was so worried about Kagome that he called Ginjiro to come to examine her.
Ginjiro knocked on Kagome and Emmett's door, Emmett opened the door, and Ginjiro and Bella came in. Kagome smiled at seeing her cousin. Bella gave Kagome a sympathetic smile and crawled on the bed with her.
"Oh, Kagome, how are you feeling?"
"Not very well, Bella."
"That's to be expected, Kagome. You're going to be a little sicker than if this was a human pregnancy. But that is easily resolved; we only need to increase the amount of demon meat in your diet. The demon meat will settle your stomach."
"I brought her some crackers and 7-up last night, and that seemed to help as well," Emmett informed Ginjiro.
"Yes, it will especially at night. Unfortunately, there will still be certain odors that will trigger your sickness. That can't be helped it's caused by an increase in hormone levels and reduced blood sugar. But it will pass."
Kagome and Emmett nod. Bella hugs Kagome again then gets off the bed, "Let me make you breakfast, I'll make you a plate of eggs with a sided of demon meat and some orange juice. Do you think you can eat that?"
Kagome smiles at her cousin, "Yes, but you don't have to do that, Bella."
"I know, but I want to. If it weren't for you, I would have died, and I would have Renesmee. Your my cousin and I want to help you through your pregnancy."
Kagome began to tear up at what Bella said. Emmett hugs his wife and kisses her cheek. Bella and Ginjiro leave the room and go downstairs. Everyone asks them how Kagome's doing, and Ginjiro explains that she's fine. Bella tells the vampires that she's going to make breakfast for Kagome with some demon meat.
Bella goes into the kitchen and gets started on Kagome's breakfast with Esme's help they make Kagome some eggs and add a side of demon meat some dry toast and a glass of orange juice. Esme carries the tray upstairs so that she can check on Kagome.
Esme walks into the room and smiles at Kagome and Emmett, "How are you feeling, Sweetheart?"
"I'm still feeling a little nauseous, but Ginjiro said that it was normal."
"I'm sure this demon meat will make you feel better, and I won't cook bacon anymore for breakfast until you feel better."
"Thank you, Esme."
Esme set the tray down on Kagome's lap then kissed her forehead, "You're welcome, Sweetie, I hope this makes you feel better."
Kagome smiles at Esme, "I'm sure it will," Kagome slowly began to eat her eggs and demon meat and notice that her stomach started to settle.
"Well," Emmett asked.
"It's working."
Emmett sighed; he was so worried that Kagome wasn't going to be able to eat anything. He knew that was silly, but Emmett couldn't help it. Emmett happily sat next to Kagome and watched her eat her breakfast. Once she was finished, he took the tray, kissed Kagome, then went downstairs so Emmett could have his breakfast. When he finished, Emmett headed out to help with the construction.
The house was nearly complete, So the girls decided that they would head to Seattle to start picking out the furniture for the home. Kagome, Alice, Esme, Rosalie, Bella, and surprising Leah all went to a furniture shop that usually supplied Esme with the furniture for her client's homes. Bella left Renesmee with Jacob and Ginjiro.
They had everything that Kagome could want for her house. From the bedroom to the outside furniture. They wandered around for several hours, picking out different pieces of furniture and whatever else Kagome could think of for her house.
"Why don't we pick out the furniture for the nursery while we're here," Alice suggested.
Kagome shook her head, "That's something I'd like to do with Emmett if you guys don't mind."
The girls all smiled, "No, that's fine. I'm sure you two will have a great time doing that."
After the girls finished shopping, they went to a local restaurant to have lunch. They had left lunch prepared for Emmett and the crew before they left, so they were taken care they weren't worried. The girls had a nice lunch then went shopping for all the little things that the house would need, including the utensils.
A few weeks later the construction of Kagome and Emmett's house was finished. The landscapers came and began working on the yard, installing a sprinkler system and flower beds. They put in a large lawn exactly the way Kagome and Emmett wanted it. Kagome also added sacred sutras around the entire property to ward off any malicious youkai or vampires.
A couple of days after the landscapers finished that, the furniture was delivered. It took several days for Kagome to have everything decorated precisely the way she and Emmett wanted it. When it was finished Kagome and Emmett had a house warming party. Everyone was invited. Ginta and the crew. Charlie, Sue, Billy, and the council. Emily, Sam, and the pack. Jacob and his pack. Of course, Kagome's vampire family and Youkai family. Sesshomaru would come later to see the house.
Kagome and Emmett gave everyone a tour of the house. They showed them where the baby's nursery was going to be even though it wasn't decorated yet. They all thought the home was beautiful. After the tour, everyone sat down for a lovely dinner as one big happy family.
