"The next time, it's your turn."
"Shit, man, how can it be my turn? It was obviously me the last time, so the next is yours."
"Woman, why do you have to make it difficult? Oh, look, it's that lip balm ad guy you love so much."
"Uuh.. I don't like that guy. What makes you think that I do?"
"You were practically all over him during your pregnancy, that's what."
"Dude, I was pregnant. That was just the hormone talking."
"Oh, really."
"Don't sass me, man. That's my thing."
"You don't have the patent to be the one sassing in this family."
"And you do? Shit, it's that chocolate ad. God, I hate that ad and all the guys in it."
"... Huh. Me too. Like, what the hell is Crunky?"
"More like Trashy."
"Yeah, man..." A highfive sound can be heard loud and clear.
"Dude! Come on! No need to be so loud!" She's whispering loudly.
"You're the one who make that loud ass sound, okay, Sweetheart?"
"...Like I said, leave the sassing to me."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Hey, look, that's the Chunin Test ad."
Silence.
More silence.
"...The Naruto in the ad looks like a bunshin."
"I agree."
Long silence.
"...You'll be supervising again?"
"I guess. I mean, I'm Naruto's most trusted man, I should be supervising."
"Huh."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"C'mon, babe, what's up?"
"Nothing, really. I.. uh.. I'll... miss you? I guess."
"... You guess?"
"Fine, I'll miss you."
"... I'll miss you too. But, won't you have to supervise too?"
"Gaara won't let me because Shikadai is still an infant. He still needs the caring and nurturing hands of his mother."
"But not the father? What the hell."
"Don't you dare what-the-hell-ing my brother, man."
"Or you'll do what?"
"... You do remember I'm a very-well-skilled ninja, right? I could kill you."
"Right. Yeah." A kiss on the right cheek. "I'm sorry."
"Nah, it's okay." A kiss square on the lips. The two people pull apart for a little bit before leaning in again and suddenly start a full-on make out.
The baby monitor makes a sound right when the man's hand is caressing the woman's chest area, and that sound is a sign that the baby in the other room is awake and will soon be heard the glorious wailing of the baby. And this will be the 6th time their baby is awoken.
"Your turn, woman."
"No, yours."
"Nope. Yours."
"Nope. Yours."
"...Okay, fine! Ours! Let's just go tend to him together before he will get even fussier."
"Oh, God, I really didn't expect this. I really didn't expect being woken up at ungodly hours to tend to my wailing baby kid."
"That's what parents do, Temari."
"But parents don't experience waking up every single hour to a crying, wailing, sad little baby, Shikamaru."
"... Huh. I suppose you're right."
"Hell yeah, I'm right!"
It was 2—fucking TWO—in the fucking morning.
