Expecting Surprises
The day was bright, and the sunlight shone down from its blue ocean of clouds on a group of women.
Rin dressed in a simple green kimono was kneeling next to Kaede amongst the many leafy plants that made up the old woman's special herb garden while the Taijiya twins were chasing each other in circles giggling happily. Kagome sat off to the side in the shade content to watch with Sango's youngest napping at her side. She smiled as the elder Miko kept a stern eye on her apprentice's weeding- gruffly showing her which did what, as Rin nodded eagerly soaking up the information like a sponge.
Sesshoumaru's little human charge was getting so big. Her once messy black pony tailed hair was now a long and glossy braid that fell past her softly rounding hips- A girl slowly growing to woman hood. She was becoming a full fledged healer, and had assisted in several baby deliveries. In the past years she was quickly becoming a very competent apprentice.
Had it really been three years since she came back?
It seemed just yesterday that Kagome had graduated high school and jumped back into the well.
Three years since she'd married her Inuyasha. Three wonderful years in which they'd built a hut in Kaede's village and lived together happily. Blue eyes softened and slowly her hand lowered to cover her still flat belly. That hut would soon be a home. She hadn't started to show yet, and her period wasn't quiet due, but somehow she knew.
A baby grew inside her.
No.
Not just a baby. Her child. Their child.
At the moment Inuyasha and Miroku were out of the village hunting demons that had been attacking a neighboring village. Sango-chan had even gone with them this time since her youngest son was old enough not to need nursing, and the twins were now almost six. It's helped that Kagome had magnanimously agreed to stay behind and mind not only the children but the village. Inuyasha had given her a funny look before they'd left since such easy agreement to stay behind wasn't like her, but in the end he'd brushed it off.
What she hadn't told him was she'd already suspected she was pregnant.
What would his reaction be, she wondered?
Soon they'd all be returning to the village. Lifting her face to the gentle dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, Kagome felt her heart swell with anticipation.
She couldn't wait to see her Husband's reaction.
FIN
Im posting two updates today! (Crowd: Addicted's posting TWO chapters in ONE day? IS SHE OKAY?!) I feel bad that I dont update very much, so I think you all deserve it. I'm gonna be updating some other storites as well hopefully soon.
To a Certain Reviewer: In your review you said you wanted more InuKags and MiroSang so For now here's a small InuKags tidbit for you! If InuKag's is your thing I have a drabble collection written called "For You My Dearest" That collections gonna be ALL Inu and Kags so be sure to check that out as well via my story archives :)
If anyone else has something or someone they'd like to see more of, feel free to ask/request, and if I can come up with an idea or it strikes my fancy I'll give it a shot. Not everything for Picnic Baskets has to be written for Livejournal after all ;) I don't have a character preference so Im willing to write almost anything really. Also while Pairing centrics aren't really what I usually post for Picnic Baskets, I can write them!
Hope you all Enjoyed!
