As Temari took in the sight before her eyes she could only sigh. He was a complete and utter mess. His hair was not tied up in its usual ponytail, his clothes thrown all around him, and the fact that there was a small pool of saliva gathering up around his mouth did not help his appearance in any way.

When Shikamaru had first proposed to her she was expecting the perfect marriage life. Not this. No Temari of the Hidden Village of the Sand did not want to have to wake up to a disorientated and half-asleep Shikamaru every morning, and the only thing making it worse was the fact that she was expecting Naruto and Hinata over in less than an hour.

"Shikamaru, wake up" Temari said quietly, but sternly to the sleeping man.

All she got in response was a muttered groan and her husband producing even more saliva. Temari, in all her years of experience, knew that to wake up Shikamaru it took more than just a few simple words, it took several pots and pans, a very load horn in his ear and perhaps a kiss from Naruto to do the trick. Today she only had her pots and pans, but they were enough. When in the hands of an expert.

Knock Knock

Temari mentally groaned Naruto and Hinata were early. Much earlier than she had anticipated, she'd have to deal with Shikamaru later. As Temari closed the door behind her she made sure to slide the bamboo door with a resounding thud.

"Hey Naruto, hey Hinata" Temari said to the newlyweds as she opened her front door.

"Hey Temari!" Naruto replied back happily, giving the Sand ninja a hug.

Hinata just smiled politely, she was still pretty shy around Temari. It was only then that Temari noticed the sleeping baby in Hinata's arms.

"Naruto, is that baby yours?"

"Yeah! We adopted him a few weeks ago before the wedding, but Hinata and I already made our honeymoon plans so we were kind of hoping that maybe you two could look after him for a few weeks."

Temari gulped. Looking after a baby boy for two weeks with Shikamaru? While most of the people of Konoha respected him and thought he was a calm man who never joked, they were wrong. He was a very serious person when it came to his job, but anything else and BAM! It was like dealing with a 2 year old. Something she was seeing right before her very eyes.

"Please Temari-san" Hinata spoke for the first time.

It was quite shocking for Temari to have to be dealing with children so early in her own marriage, but seeing her friends like this she couldn't refuse to help them.

"Oh alright,"

Naruto smiled and enthusiastically began to hug Temari.

"Na..Naru…to good to kn..know that you're ha…ppy, bu..t I can't bre….athe" Temari just managed to gasp out.

Naruto realizing that he was probably killing the woman who was supposed to be looking after his son for the next 2 weeks abruptly stopped hugging her. He merely grinned back at her and with a quick thanks left with his wife for their honeymoon.

And there stood Temari holding Naruto and Hinata's son, Jinto, in her arms. The boy looked up at her with big blue eyes and she couldn't help but to think how much he resembled his father despite them not been related in any way.

All of a sudden an idea hit Temari, she knew how to wake up Shikamaru now. With a smirk Temari set off with Jinto, on a mission to successfully wake up her comatose husband.
