For Skye's weekly Challenge, "Uniform."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru was going to be home for the week before he had to go back to Iraq. And Kagome was going to use every single moment she had! She waited at the airport for him. He was stationed in California, but he got to fly back home to Minnesota for the week.
Kagome tapped her foot as she waited in her seat. She hadn't seen him in forever! It'd only been six months, but it had seemed like she hadn't seen him in years. They had gotten married 2 years ago when he had enlisted, and had hardly seen much of each other since.
She had found out when he last left that she was pregnant, and had made sure to tell him as soon as she could get him on the phone. He had been overjoyed and yet sad that he couldn't be with her for most of the pregnancy.
In a way she was sad too, she would have loved for him to be with her, but he was serving his country and that was what mattered. She had her Mom and brother and Sesshoumaru's family to help her get through the pregnancy. Inuyasha had been a godsend when she had had her cravings at night!
She did feel bad sending him out at odd times in the night and morning, but that's what happened when your husband was gone to Iraq and his little brother was left behind. He became the errand boy. She chuckled.
She glanced around and noticed she was not the only one waiting for her soldier. A few other Marine wives she had met before were waiting in the seats surrounding her. She waved hello to those who had looked toward her, and smiled as she felt her baby kick.
She placed her hand on her stomach and whispered, "Your daddy isn't here quite yet love." She hadn't found out the sex of the baby either. She wanted to be surprised. Sesshoumaru had agreed that it would be nice to be surprised.
She looked up. And saw him. Her breath catched in her throat and she had to calm herself before she could even stand up.
He was in his dress blues. He was not wearing his hat; it was tucked underneath his arm. The long jacket was unbuttoned at his neck, and hugged his waist snuggly, outlining his muscular shape underneath.
Loose blue pants with a red stripe down the side to match the red piping on the jacket hugged his lean waist.
Kagome had never seen Sesshoumaru in his dress blues, and so was stunned speechless and she sat up from her chair and walked half dazed to her husband. His roaming eyes finally focused on hers, and blazed with love.
She reached for him and he reached for her, hugging her against him and kissing her as if he had been starved.
It started out innocent enough, just lips on lips. Then became hot, his tongue flicked against her closed lips and they parted to his roaming tongue. Their tongue clashed as the kiss became more heated. Kagome's arms wrapped around Sesshoumaru's neck, holding her still as he assaulted her mouth.
The baby chose just then to give a good hard kick. Sesshoumaru broke the kiss, startled, glancing down at Kagome's belly. She let out a soft laugh.
"Does that hurt?" Sesshoumaru asked curiously, placing his hands gently on Kagome's belly, feeling the little kicks from the baby inside.
"No, it's just uncomfortable sometimes," she replied, placing her hand on top of his and smiling lovingly up at him.
She lifted her free hand and ran it down the jacket he was wearing, the soft material tickling her hand.
"You look so handsome Sesshoumaru."
A stain of red gently colored his cheeks. Kagome could always make him blush with the softest compliments.
His gaze softened again as he looked down at his wife's extended stomach, then back at her glowing face. She seemed so radiant. She always had, but being a mother would be good for her. She was born to nurture. Their baby would want for nothing. He just regretted that he would be here for most of it. He wasn't even sure if he would be able to be with her when she had the baby.
He took Kagome's hand and lifted it to his lips, kissing softly.
"Lets go home sweet heart."
And with that, they walked to the exit. Hand in hand.
