It was the second day that Inuyasha was to be gone and Kagome's stomach had started to feel ill. She would have morning sickness and felt something different about her. She didn't know what it was, but for some reason, she wasn't panicking. (It's been about ten days since the baby was conceived so she is starting to feel the morning sickness and the life force of the baby.) You couldn't say that about everybody else. Kagome and Sango were in Keade's hut while the others went out to go find some herbs that might help Kagome.

"Kagome, you should forget about making my dress if you're ill. You've woken every morning with vomiting and you can barely stand the smell of certain foods."

"Sango, I'm ok really. My nausea is only in the morning and as long as I stay away from those foods…" Kagome stopped talking when something dawned on her. Sango was beginning to nervous when Kagome started to smile. "Oh my Kami."

"Kagome, what?"

"Sango, don't you see? Morning sickness, smells that make me nauseous." Then it dawned on Sango and both of the girls jumped up in a scream. They hopped around screaming and laughing. Miroku and the others burst in the hut when they heard the commotion on their way back.

"What is going on here?" Miroku had a concerned look on his face. Keade came in afterwards with Shippo on her shoulder.

" Yes child, what is going on here?"

"I'm not sick, I'm pregnant."

"Really, that's great mommy." Shippo launched himself at Kagome and she swirled around with him in her arms.

"This s great knew Lady Kagome, congrats." Miroku had a smile on his face and it didn't seem that he was going to make a perverted remark to her. To Inuyasha after he finds out was another story.

"Yes child, it is. And it also explains the morning sickness and your nose."

"Yeah, no wonder I wasn't that worried." Everybody looked at her to explain. "I've had this feeling that there was something different about me, but I didn't know what it was. Now I know that it's because I'm pregnant, there's a life growing inside me." Sango and Shippo gave Kagome a hug. They all stood there for a while before Keade broke the silence.

"Kagome, when do you plan to tell Inuyasha?" Everybody broke their hug with Kagome but Shippo was still in her arms.

"The night he comes back." Keade nodded at her answer before starting to leave the hut. "Where are you going Keade?"

"You will need some prenatal herbs. The ones that we picked were for a flue or stomach ailment of some kind."

"Oh, will that makes since." Kagome gave Keade a smile before she left.

"I can't believe that you're pregnant Kagome. You and Inuyasha have been together for only a short time. Kagome blushed at this and when Sango realized what she said, she blushed as well. "Sorry, I didn't mean to say it that way."

"Why not Sango my dear, we all have been thinking it. It must have been…" Miroku never got to finish his sentence because he was now on the ground unconscious with too lumps on his head.

"Idiot." Kagome decided to change the subject before she got even more embarrassed. She still had to tell Inuyasha about the baby.

"Sango, I'm almost done with your dress. You should be able to try it on tomorrow so I can make the final alterations to it." Sango seemed to forget about the baby for a moment.

"Really, I'll be able to see it? How were you able to get so much done in so little time without overdoing yourself? Does it look like the drawing you made?" Sango's face was radiant.

"Yes, you're going to be able to see it tomorrow. I'm able to sew fast and don't ask me how, I just can. And it does look like the drawing except I made the train a little longer, I thought that you would like it." Sango gave a squeal and gave Kagome a hug. Shippo was able to move out of the way before getting squished and smiled at the two ladies. Actually, he was happy about his whole family and the feeling he got while he was around them. It was a strange family, but it was his new family.

Inuyasha was in the forest and the house was almost complete. He made sure that it was the biggest house that Kagome ever seen. It was a two-story house with a lot of room for them, Shippo, and any future pups they would have there was a master bedroom for them with their private bathroom. He was able to create an indoor hot springs so they could bath together in private. There were seven other, smaller bedrooms. One was already picked out for Shippo. It was to the right of Kagome and his room with a bed and some other furniture for the kit. He still hadn't fully decorated the house; he wanted Kagome's touch as well. There was another bathroom for the pups or for whoever spent the night. There was a playroom as well. It had a nice view of the area and the future garden they would have.

Downstairs, there was a big living room with a fireplace. It lead into the kitchen. It had an island so that they could eat and prepare food. There was a pit to keep food cooled and fresh. Against the wall was a pump and sink to for washing the food. There was a hallway leaving from the family room. On the left side of it was another bathroom, on the right was an office, and in the middle was a storage unit. Half of it was for food and the other half would be for weapons. He was going to keep Tetsusiage above their bed, but he just wanted someplace to keep extra weapons if the need called for it or for when he was training their pups. Inuyasha was really proud of what he done and he knew that Kagome would be proud too. He could already see her smiling, adoring face look up at him after seeing their house.

Inuyasha started to get back to work. There was still things to finish in the house and he only had a day. He wanted to get back no later than tomorrow's nightfall. While he was working, you could miss the genuine smile grace his lips. He started doing that a lot with Kagome, and he felt that he was going to keep on smiling like that with Kagome in his life.
