Craving

Kagome waddled over to the freezer and opened it, only to remember that she had finished the last pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream earlier that day. "That's okay," she said aloud. "I can go to bed without Chunky Monkey." She looked in the refrigerator; there were two Granny Smith apples and a pear. "Who am I kidding," she muttered, quickly shutting the door. "Sesshoumaru! It's an emergency!"

Sesshoumaru, protective to the point of hovering since learning of his wife's pregnancy, rushed into the kitchen. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I need you to run to the grocery and get me some ice cream. If you hurry you'll make it before they close." The last time he was sent on this errand, it was late, requiring him to drive all around town to find an open store.

"I just bought you four pints the other day."

"Well I ate them. Now go," she ordered.

"Kagome, the midwife said too much sugar isn't good for you and the baby. I think you're developing a bad habit."

The petite pregnant woman strode up to her husband and grabbed him by the balls, squeezing enough to make her point. "Sesshoumaru, darling," she stated matter-of-factly, "if you don't want the baby I'm currently carrying to grow up an only child, you will get me something sweet, frozen, and preferably chocolate now."

He knew better than to contradict her when she had her cravings, especially in circumstances involving threats of emasculation. "I'll be right back."
