Kagome remembered the first kicks of their daughter. Her and Inuyasha had waited for years to both be ready to handle a baby. They had been careful, and Kagome took herbs that prevented pregnancy.
They wanted to do everything right by their child. Though she definitely knew Inuyasha was going to be an excellent father despite his sometimes brash and rough exterior, she doubted herself. She saw the way Inuyasha was with Rin and Sango and Miroku's children. Kagome prayed for a girl when the time was right for them to have a baby.
The right time came when Rin had left the village with Sesshomaru on her sixteenth birthday. Kagome told Inuyasha it was time to have a baby of their own. He was only to happy to oblige her.
Six months later, Kagome laid there with her yukata spread open, her belly growing large day by day, there for Inuyasha to watch as the baby kicked delightfully beneath the skin. He laid down on his side beside her and his face level with her belly.
Large amber eyes wide and glittering with delight and curiosity. Brown eyes melting at the sight of the dog ears perking up.
"Oh wow, doesn't that hurt?" He breathed out, resting on his elbow.
"No, it's magical isn't it?" Kagome asked as she rubbed gently. "Baby likes to kick at my hand. Wanna try?" She asked.
"Huh?" Inuyasha hummed out, amber eyes swinging up to look at her.
"Come on, put your hand on my belly. Baby can't hurt you, yet." She laughed lightly. She removed her hand and saw his hand hesitantly moved to lay on her stomach, moving gently.
She felt the kick as much as he did. "That's a good kick." He chuckled.
"A great kick!" Kagome laughed. "She's going to be a great fighter!"
"So, we really can't do anything now. The baby will see and feel everything." He grumbled.
"That's not how it works." Kagome rolled her eyes. "We can still have sex."
He blushed, "Do you have to say that word?" He gasped out.
"What, sex?" Kagome said again and he turned his head away.
"Yeah, that word. It may be okay in your time…but here…" He started.
"Liar. Sango says the word 'sex' all the time and we taught Rin it was okay to say it too." Kagome huffed, "Maybe it's just you men that can't deal with the word."
"Keh!" He said and they felt three hard kicks. "I don't think the pup likes our conversation."
They both burst into laughter.
"Will ye both be quiet?" Kaede shouted from the other room.
They laughed a little quieter for the old woman's sake.
Sango loved being pregnant with the twins and later her son. Both pregnancies were so different. She was definitely able to handle her second pregnancy better than the first one.
The first pregnancy was so frightening but in a good way. And everything was all so new for her. She was the best demon slayer from her village, she thought little of men until Miroku, the perverted monk. She felt a pull to him as he did to her. She had never considered marriage until she met him. His flirtations with other women had hurt during their travels. But it had made sense why he did it. He truly didn't think he would be able to live a long life. He wanted to feel loved despite his curse, even if he paid for it when Sango threw punches at him.
They built their life together during those days of traveling, slowly making their way together until they could not live without the other. She would have jumped into that wind tunnel with him, died with him.
She's grateful that it never came to that. She married him shortly after Naraku's defeat and was pregnant shortly after their wedding night.
She remembered the first pregnancy and when the 'baby' kicked. Still unknown that she was having twins. She dropped the laundry and laughed as Miroku ran to her, worry etched on his face.
She remembered how he knelt before her and held her belly. "I think we're having two. There's kicks on each side." He mused softly. His eyes warm and soft as he spoke to her belly. He looked up at her with his stormy dark blue eyes, almost grey.
He was indeed right and rarely left her side after Kaede confirmed it. Rin had gasped in delight and let Sango guide her hand to her swelling belly.
Miroku had also been told he was not allowed to engage in any sort of activities with his wife past seven months. He nodded and faithfully kept to his promise.
Sango liked the second pregnancy because it was physically easier but tiring nonetheless with twins running around.
"Miroku, the baby is kicking!" She called out and he walked over to her with the twins and knelt before her.
"Alright, girls, this is a magical moment. Your baby brother or sister is in there and kicking. Put your hands on Mommy and feel." He said gently and guided their hands to Sango's belly.
All four smiled and laughed together as the girls squealed in delight at the feeling of the kicks.
"Does it hurt?" They both asked in unison.
Sango shook her head. "No, my loves, it doesn't." She smiled.
Miroku caught her eye and she softly blushed under the intensity of his gaze. Yes, she loved being pregnant with the monk's babies. She especially enjoyed making them.
It took Rin three years of resuming traveling with her lord from him to consider having a child, a pup, with her. She knew he hated Hanyous, but his relationship with Inuyasha had improved so much that she thought he could be convinced to have a conversation about it.
She was tired of his seed being wasted outside of her body.
"Do you truly hate Inuyasha so much that you would deny us children?" She shouted at him one night when he came into their chambers. They were staying at the palace at his mother's insistence. The Lady Mother was actually on Rin's side and asked her why she had not any grandpups running and playing in her palace. Rin growled at the woman and told her to ask Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had not been pleased with the barrage of questions from his mother about spilling on Rin's belly, back, sheets, grass, or anywhere else but inside her.
He visibly frowned. "I would never deny you anything, Rin. But the life of a Hanyou…do you know what Inuyasha had been put through?" He had asked her.
"What you put Inuyasha through you mean?" She asked with a hiss and crossed her arms on the bed.
He carefully laid the swords on the stand along with the naginata he gifted her when she was sixteen. She did not regret choosing him. She would choose him every time. Even if there was an offer by a sweet young man who slayed demons that Rin considered more of as brother. Her life would have certainly been easier with Kohaku, but he understood where Rin's heart lay and promised to always be her friend. Rin was glad he met a woman a year later after his botched proposal to her. They had a son now. Rin was slightly envious when she saw the happy baby in Kohaku's arms. She wanted a child as well.
But a child, even one… was surely not too much to ask of Sesshomaru. He then laid the armour down and approached the large futon. "What the humans did were no better." He replied evenly. This was their first real argument since prior to their wedding, she had heard word that many demons were displeased that Sesshomaru was his father's son after all. She tried to call it off to spare him, he growled and claimed her the night before their wedding, spilling on her belly, whispering his love for her.
He reached out a clawed hand to brush her hair back from her face. "Do you truly wish to be a mother?" He asked gently after a few moments of them sitting and facing each other on the bed. His frown deepened when she nodded and leaned her cheek into his hand.
"I love you so much that a baby will complete our family. My gift could only be to give you a child. I have nothing else that I could possibly offer." She smiled sadly and saw his mouth open slightly and he shifted closer to her and pulled her into a kiss so tender and passionate that she was left breathless and dizzy.
"You have given me everything, Rin. I will deny you nothing." He said and pushed her down onto the soft bedding to give her their child.
Five months later she felt a couple kicks and squeaked in delight as she sat on A-Un's back. They were going to visit Inuyasha and the others. "Sesshomaru! The baby!" She shouted.
His eyes widened. "I knew we should have stayed at the…" He didn't finish as Rin pulled his hand from A-Un's reign, they knew the way, and wrapped it around her and placed it on her expanding belly. "Oh." The first time she could ever remember him saying the small phrase. He was at a loss for words.
She laughed as she saw his other hand joined the other on her belly. "Rin, there are two pups." He said softly into her ear.
Her laughter died at his revelation. She felt for the kicks as he resumed to grab the reigns out of habit. She heard a low rumbling chuckle, so rare from him but demonstrated his amusement from behind her and she squeaked again at the kicks. Two feet kicked against each hand. "Twins!" She laughed and leaned back carefully against his armour. "And you barely wanted to have one."
"I returned your gift with one more." He drily replied and she looked over her shoulder and smiled at him. He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "After this visit we are confining you to the palace."
"Yes, milord." She responded with a smirk on her lips.
An eyebrow lifted minutely at the second word of her last response. She hadn't used it since she was sixteen and being gently laid out on his kimono in a forest clearing, crescent moon high in the sky. "Milady?" He asked and she huffed. Somehow he always got the best of her.
She smiled as his hand returned to her belly, rubbing across the growing expanse of flesh under her kimono, feeling and receiving soft kicks. She put her hand over his clawed one and softly hummed happily to herself. The tune of one of her many songs dedicated to her husband.
I think I'm going to do Ayame, Izayoi, and Inukimi (Lady Mother/Sesshomaru's mother) next.
