Chapter 1:

The New Beginning

"Mom's gonna kill you, Suki," the 21 year old Nara Konoha kunoichi said, as she walked in her twin sister's house then turned to look at her sister, "Then she's going to kill Aiko."

"You're overreacting Emi….besides, we're not completely sure if that's what really is wrong."

"Yeah…that's defiantly not it, because its completely normal for someone to be hanging out in their bathroom for 3 weeks straight." Emiko stated in a very sarcastic tone after rolling her eyes, "Who knows, maybe your husband poisoned you! Or maybe you've finally eaten some of your own cooking." she grinned slyly when saying the last part.

Suki sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, "It could be the flu…"

"Now your just putting shame to the Nara name, Suki." Emiko walked over to her sister, a serious look on her face.

"If it was the flu, then you'd have a fever. You wouldn't have any type of appeitie, and you'd be in bed all day. Right now, all you're doing is throwing up all day." she crossed her arms, "I'm not stupid, Suki, and neither is mom, she has been through this 3 times. If she takes one look at you, she'll figure it out, so just take the test and pray mom and dad don't kill you or your husband."

Suki groaned, then walked over to her couch, sat down and held her head in her hands, "This is…such a damn drag!" she groaned again and placed a hand on her stomach, "This…really sucks…"

The house went silent, for a good 10 minutes, until a light knock was heard at the door. Sukis' head shot up, looking at the door, then her sister, who scratched the back of her head. "I didn't have any money, plus everyone at the store knows who we are and who our parents are, they would suspect something if I went in and bought one." she explained.

"So you told her?!" Suki whispered in a harsh tone, "She gossips more then anyone in the entire village." Emiko rolled her eyes again, "She's a Medical Ninja, and she happens to be our friend. Besides, she promised she wouldn't say anything. Just let her do her thing."

Suki crossed her arms, groaned again, and looked away from her sister. "Fine…"

With that, Emiko walked to the front door, opened it and smiled. Staring back at her was a smiling woman with long blonde hair and bright green eyes.

"Thanks for coming on such a short notice," Emiko moved to the side, allowing Kimiko to enter the house.

"Its fine." She said, then looked at Suki, "You guys are my friends and I don't mind helping." She took a step towards the pained dark-haired female, "You need to lay down on your back, if you want me to check."

Suki nodded and moved to lay on her back, letting out a small wince. Once on in position, she looked at Kimiko with a serious look on her face. "If you say anything…to anyone…even if I'm not, I'll make you regret it." She gave the other woman a look, a silent threat only the two of them would understand.

Kimiko nodded, "O…Of course, I…I wont say anything, I promise." She then kneeled down, and placed a glowing hand on the Naras flat stomach…..

"Ugh…" the elderly women groaned, laying back on the bed she shared with her husband, "I'm too old for this…"

The man beside her turned his head, looking at his wife. "We still have a long way to go with the younger ones, but only 4 more years with Daichi, then we'll only have the twins."

His wife smacked the back of the his head with her hand. "The hell happened to you only wanting 2 kids? A boy and a girl?" She glared at her with her emerald eyes.

"Ow" he rubbed the back of his head, "It's not my fault you decided to give me two at a time…troublesome women."

"It's your fault." She then moved so she was laying, "Unless you want to blame me for being so damn irresistible," she smirked, looking back at him, "Then I've got no problem taking the blame," with that said, she laid her head on her pillow, closed her eyes and began falling asleep.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, was left staring at his wife, who had just left him speechless. After a few minutes, he sighed, shook his head, then-once he knew his wife was completely asleep-snuck out of the bed and walked to the back door of their house where he met up with one of his old teammates.

"You're late, Shikamaru," the tall blonde sighed, crossing her arms, "I cant keep waiting so late out here…you never know what someone'll do to a lady like me!" she added a light 'humph' at the end of her statement.

The aging man rolled his eyes, "Ino, your married, a jonin, and old. No one will attack you while standing in my backyard."

Ino smacked the back of Shikamarus head. "I am not old!" she gave him a deep glare, "You know…I might just tell your wife exactly what your doing out here! Then she'd kick your ass"

"Ah…but…" he reached in his pocket, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and stuck one in his mouth, then pulled one out for his her, "If you did that, you'd have to tell Chouji what you're doing out here." with that, he light his cigarette, and took a deep drag.

She simply glared at him, took the cigarette from him, and threw it to the ground. "I quit!" she then yanked the lit cigarette from Shikamaru's mouth and threw it to the ground, "And so do you!"

Shikamaru rolled his dark eyes and simply pulled out another. "No, I won't."

he had once believed that he could quit, he actually tried too-when he and Temari found out they were going to be parents for the first time, but about 3 years back he started smoking again, due to stressing about one of his daughters being married to his best friend's son. And since then, he hasn't been able to quit. Of course, it didn't help any when his Ino decided she was going to start smoking, but that was something he didn't talk about, simply because he thought it was too troublesome to ask about.

The morning after the check up Suki was up before her husband, sitting at the kitchen table, staring blankly at her cup of hot tea. She couldn't sleep at all. If she wasn't running to the bathroom, she was trying to figure out how to tell her family-her parents and husband-what she found out. Sighing to herself, she looked out her window, it was still early, and the sun was slowly rising and very few people were out walking around. The only people out were parents who were walking their small, sleepy children to the academy.

Slowly moving her hand to her stomach, while staring out the window at the sleepy children walking, Suki thought 'How do I tell them?…sure it seems simple, but…it's not, especially with my parents.' She sighed again, then looked back down at her tea. "What a drag.."

"What's a drag this time?" a males voice asked, walking into the kitchen.

Suki turned her head and saw a slightly chubby, yet tall, young man walking towards her, a tired smile on his face. "You're up early." Aiko walked over to Suki, wrapping his arms around her, kissing the top of her head. "Still sick?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

"I…" she sighed, then leaned back into his arms a little, "Aiko….we kind of…need to talk."

The chubby man's face paled as he looked down at his wife of 3 years. Aiko never thought he was good enough for her, he knew he was lucky to have her, and he wasn't ready to let her go. Before Suki was able to say anything else, he pulled her up into a tight, yet gentle embrace, kissing her with as much passion as he could.

Of course Suki was shocked, she had never seen Aiko act like this, he was always so shy and careful, but this….this was new, but new wasn't always bad. Returning the kiss, she wrapped her arms around him then slowly pulled back, looking directly into his sky blue eyes. "I…I'm….."

"YOU'RE WHAT!?" Temari shouted, nearly breaking the glass in her hand.

Shikamaru pinched the bridge of his nose, he knew something was wrong when he got a surprise visit from both his older daughters. It happened last time they wanted to visit, and it is happening again, only this time Suki had the news he dreaded hearing 3 years ago.

His daughter, his barely-a-legal-adult daughter was pregnant…with the child of his best friend's son. On the plus side, she at least waited until she was married.

--Okay…so NOT the best way to start a new/old story. This is my attempt to re-do my sequel to "Nara Family". Of course, this is going to be completely different from "Whose Tall Dark and Handsome" So please PLEASE erase that story from your memory, cause I had no idea where that was going. At least with this one, I can kinda jump around, since it is mainly going to be one shots, or mini side stories of the family, and yes, it WILL have Temari and Shikamaru in it, simply because they WERE the main characters in Nara Family, I cant exactly ignore them in this story! They ARE the parents! Anyways, a lot of people said they wanted to see when Suki told Temari and Shikamaru about her and Aiko being pregnant (at least I think they did..if not, well SURPRISE! Lol). Anyways, There are a few things that I do want to explain in this story, so it wont be completely random, I want to explain why Ino has started smoking, and of course, Temari finding out about Shikamaru smoking--but I don't want to spoil it, so a lot of things you wont know, of course there are going to be one or two things I'll keep from "Whose Tall Dark And Handsome" and use in this, but not a lot. Soooo…here's the first chapter to the story that has no name! maybe I'll just call it "Nara Family: The Next Generation" hmm..I like that! Okay! Official Title! Now, enjoy and hopefully you'll get the next chapter soon! Remember, I have classes and work, so I'll only be able to write at night or on my days off. Anyways, done ranting, Tell me what you think! Please!--
