Motherly side

After a long day of work in the Hokage tower, Shikamaru was finally able to go home. it's been a while since the last time he's home before dinner. it's been a while since he ate dinner with his wife and son, speaking of which, he did not found the two in the living room nor they did not welcome him home. usually, even though he'd go home late, Shikadai and Temari were always welcoming him home. 'hmm... that's odd.' he thought. 'where could they be.'

Shikamaru went to the dining room but still no one's in there. Shikamaru went to the table and look at the food on the table. 'hmm... this soup still hot meaning they did not went out and if so, Sai or Choji would have tell me they were with their wives and kids.' He continue his search for his wife and son. He goes upstairs still no sign. 'Tch... having a big house can be very troublesome.' He goes down again 'Hmm... maybe they are in the forest feeding the deer.' He strode to the back door. As he passed by their tatami room he saw the lights are open and the door was slightly open. 'so they're here huh? should have gone here sooner how troublesome.' Shikamaru reach to the door to opened it completely but was taken aback when he saw his wife and their son sitting by the table eating some chestnuts. The four-year old Shikadai sitting on his mother's lap, writing, while Temari is opening the chestnuts and feeding their son. Shikamaru hid his presence and look at the mother and child. "Son say 'ah'" Temari said. Shikadai mimic Temari and open his mouth as Temari thrust the peeled chestnut to their son's mouth while Shikadai continue scribbling something on a paper .

"Do you like it?" she asked. Shikadai nodded with an audible "Uhm..." as he continue to draw on the paper. Temari's softly chuckled at her son's answer and pat his head as he found her son's gesture cute. she looked at her son's drawing. "What's that baby?" she asked, placing her head on her son's shoulders. the drawing seems to be a human stick the hands, body and feet where made of not-so-straight lines and the head is made from a not-so-perfect circle with a zigzag line on top that makes the head look like a pineapple. "It's daddy, mommy." Shikadai answered. Temari made a loud 'Oh!' then Shikadai continued speaking while doing his drawing "and this is me and this is you, mommy." he stated as he draw Temari. "Mommy and Daddy holding Shikadai's hand and we are going to the festival." he said as she finished his drawing.

Temari looked at the handmade family portrait made by her baby, she smiled "Good job son! Say... want me to post it on the refrigerator so Daddy can see it when he got home?" she asked. Shikadai shifted and looked at his mother. "Uhm...'kay" Shikadai said nonchalantly but the excitement is evident in his eyes. Temari giggled at his son's cuteness. he's indeed his father's son. Temari hugged her son as he continue doing some drawing and occasionally opening some chestnuts and feeding her son.

Shikamaru pulled himself up and walked back to the living room smiling tp himself. Who would have thought the cruelest and most troublesome woman he knew is capable on showing her motherly side. He will definitely tease his wife about this later.
