"I'm pregnant," she said in her softest voice.

He stared at her for a whole 10 seconds before opening his mouth. "Wh-What? Y-You're not repugnant silly. Everyone loves you haha..."

She knew she was loosing him, so she tried again.

"I said I'm pregnant Naruto-kun. We're going to have a baby." She tried to be as reassuring as she could but it didn't help much. Perhaps she should've told him earlier. It was about 9 at night. The two of them stood alone in the Hokage office. He had been working all day and she didn't want to interrupt. This wasn't exactly news you could deliver whenever.

Naruto didn't know how to handle this news. He wanted to say something. Desperately wanted to open his mouth. But the words won't come out. His palms got sweaty, knees weak, arms got heavy. Damn! Why was he singing Eminem? Mom's spaghetti.

But he really felt trapped in this trance like state. In this trance...wait...that's it!

"Release!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, startling everyone in a 3 mile radius. This didn't shock Hinata much, but Shikamaru; who happened to be lighting his 4th blunt right outside the door; immediately ran in.

"What happened?!"

Hinata glanced over and gave an awkward smile. "You know. The thing."

"Oh. That uh, makes sense. Need any help?"

"Ummm, I can't really say yet."

The stench of Shikamaru's weed brought Naruto back to reality.

"Yo-You're pregnant?! How? How can th - " He rotated his head 180 degrees and gave his assistant a stare that would've made Orochimaru stop kidnapping young boys. "You!"

Shikamaru looked surprised, confused, and scared for his life. "Huh? What? You think I had anything to do with this?"

"I don't know! Maybe! How the hell did you know she was pregnant? Unless...you impregnated her! YOU FUCKING TRAITOR!"

Hinata stopped Naruto before he could finish forming his rasengan. "Naruto-kun! I told Shikamaru because I needed advice on how to tell you. I knew you'd freak out so I asked him for help!"

Thankfully Hinata's words reached him and he calmed down a little. "I don't understand. How could this happen? We used a condom and everything!"

"Well, condoms are only about 99.9% effective." Shikamaru chimed in.

He was in shock again. "You mean there's a .1% chance of it not working?!"

"You already know that man. Remember? There was a whole episode of Friends that went over this."

Shit! He was right.

Before he could gather his feelings Hinata started speaking in a nervous tone. "Well, Naruto-kun, that's not exactly what happened."

He gave her a confused look. The heck does she mean?

"See, uh, here's what really happened..."

******************Flashback*********************

Date: 2 nights ago

Time: 10 p.m.

Location: Hokage office

Naruto had just about had it with his assistant. "For the last time Shikamaru I am not changing my mind. This next law will completely outlaw weed again. In only a year it has done so much damage!"

Shikamaru was not backing down. "Damn it man, why're you being such a drag? Have you not seen the economic boom it's brought to our village? How do you not see the good?!"

"The harm outweighs the good! Remember Neji?"

"Ahh man don't bring him up again!"

"Turned out he was still alive and after 5 years of healing in the hospital the first thing he does is get high with Choji and Kiba. And what do they decide to do? Play a harmless game of tag. Well, it was harmless until Akamaru; who was also high; catches up to Neji and CHEWS HIS FUCKING LEGS OFF!"

"Yeah but that can't –"

"Then Choji, who got tired of running, used his expansion jutsu. And what does he do? He steps on Neji. HE FUCKING STEPPED ON HIM! Now he swore it was an accident and I believe him. But that doesn't change things. Forensics say the only thing left of Neji was the skin from his forehead with that green X curse mark. Can you believe that? He survived impalement from Madara only to die from a dog and an oversized Choji."

"You gotta stop bringing up that incident! I know you can't get over his death but it happened a long time ago. And I can guarantee you that it wasn't weed they were smoking."

Before Naruto could retort, Hinata stepped into his office.

"I-I hope I'm not interrupting."

"Oh hey babe. Of course you're not interrupting. Shikamaru was just about to head out."

"I was? Oh shit I was! Temari is gonna be so pissed I forgot to call her! You're lucky your girl isn't a drag like mine Naruto."

Shikamaru grabbed his jacket and bid farewell to his boss.

"I brought you some food. Thought you might be hungry." She handed him his favorite: Ichiraku Ramen with a side of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Thanks babe. You really didn't have to though." He put the food down on his table, next to his pile of papers he was supposed to get through.

"Got into another argument with Shikamaru-kun huh?"

"Geez how could you tell? Man, I love the guy but I swear. Say, you wanna drink? I have a bit left over and I don't think I can finish it myself."

"Naruto-kun you know I don't drink."

"Oh come on. You've had a rough week too. You caught your own father going to a furry convention. That's gotta be some next level trauma right there."

He was right. It had definitely been a miserable week.

"Well okay. I guess I'll have just a little."

********************Back to the present**********************

"Well? What happened after?" Naruto was getting very curious and tense.

"Well," she hesitated, but knew he had to know what really transpired. "We drank a bit and laughed a bit. Then drank a bit more and...and...well, I was having a really fun time. It feels like that doesn't happen much anymore. And then you...you grabbed me by the waist and laid me on your desk. I wanted to stop you but...when I looked into your eyes...I knew I felt the same..." She struggled to get those words out. She stared at the ground in pain, feeling like she betrayed his love.

Naruto stared at her for some time. Shikamaru was a little too into this story and was tempted to ask about the details.

Finally Naruto broke the silence. "So then...we didn't use any protection?"

"No."

"But you hadn't planned on that happening?"

"Right."

"You enjoyed it though right?"

"Yes." Wait what? Did she hear him correctly? She looked up to meet his face and saw something she wasn't expecting. He was smiling. A genuine smile. He had love in his eyes. It was actually kinda confusing.

"You're right Hinata. We don't have as much fun as we used to. I guess that's mostly my fault. Being Hokage was always my dream, but I never wanted it to stop me from spending time with the ones I loved. Especially you. I'm sorry."

Hinata was once again left speechless, but this time not with fear or sadness. So Shikamaru spoke for her. "So then...you're not freaked out?"

"Oh I'm very freaked out. But something tells me this could end up being awesome. Things might finally start to liven up around here."

He said this with genuine optimism, and Hinata's eyes started tearing up.
