Neko sighed as she woke up and blinked her yellow eyes blearily. She looked around in confusion at the vacant spot next to her. The silken sheets were twisted around her legs and her arm was thrown over the space. She blinked a few more times before she sat up and rubbed her eye.
"Gaara?" she asked sleepily. Frowning, she threw her legs over the side of the bed and slipped her feet into her black slippers. She lifted herself up from the bed a little clumsily and headed toward the door. On the way there she grabbed her shiny yellow robe and put it on, covering her black tank-top and short-shorts.
"Gaara." Neko called as she walked around the large, mansion-like, house. She slowly wandered up the stairs and finally poked her head out of the open window in one of the master bedrooms.
"Gaara!" she exclaimed when she caught sight of the red haired man. He looked down at her surprised. His aura, which was a dark green, spiked for a moment before returning to the normal wavy outline.
"Neko? What are you doing up?" he waved his hand and the sand moved to help Neko up to his side.
"You know I can't sleep without you!" Neko giggled and snuggled into his side.
"It's not good for the baby." Gaara murmured and wrapped his arm around her until his hand rested on her belly. She snuggled into his warm chest.
"Then you shouldn't leave right in the middle of the night. Junior and I were worried." Neko murmured and looked up at the moon. Gaara shifted until Neko fell with her head in his lap.
"Go to sleep." He commanded softly and Neko pouted.
"I don't wanna." She mumbled and looked up at his face. He opened his mouth, probably to tell her that it was better for the baby, but she cut him off.
"Our child doesn't want to either." She stuck her tongue out playfully. Gaara sighed and ruffled her hair a bit. Neko giggled before falling silent. She looked pasted Gaara and up to the stars. She easily found her favorite constellation, Orion, and began counting stars. A few moments later she began to hum.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When there's nothing he shines upon
Then you'll show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
In the dark blue sky so deep
Through the curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are."
She sang softly and felt Gaara pull her closer. She blinked sleepily as she tried to keep awake, but soon drifted off. Gaara smiled down at his wife and lifted her up, gathering his sand. He teleported both of them to their bedroom and laid her down. As he turned to go back to the roof he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down and his eyes softened. Neko breathed deeply in sleep, but her hand clung to his sleeve and she mumbled in her sleep when he pulled away. He sighed and laid beside her.
"Good night Neko-koi."
(A/N): I don't think I got Gaara right but try to be kind.
