A/N Well this is my first chapter. I hope you like it. By the way the big block in italics is a series of flashbacks.

Chapter 1

Kakashi perched silently on the windowsill, watching the two figures curled up asleep on their beds. He didn't mind that they were sleeping, it was one of the only times when they weren't fighting with each other. He loved it, returning from a mission to a sight this sweet.

As if she sensed she was being watched a little girl woke up in one of the beds in the room. She looked up and noticed a figure silhouetted against the moon. For a mere second she just laid there, watching the silhouette with fearful eyes. Then she recognised the hair and launched herself at him.

"Daddy you're home! I missed you daddy," yelled the little girl excitably as Kakashi lifted her up and swung her round.

"I missed you too Rin my little princess. Now, what do you say we have some fun waking up monkey boy over there?" Kakashi nodded his head at the other still occupied bed while setting Rin down.

Rin just smirked knowingly up at him.

Kakashi leaned down to tickle his son awake but as he made contact he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Suddenly Kakashi felt something small but heavy slam into his back.

"Oof!" Kakashi fell forwards with his son still clinging to his back.

"Hello Daddy," the little boy grinned down at his dad from where he was sat on his back.

"Hi Obito," chuckled Kakashi weakly. "I'm really starting to regret training you kids myself. Soon you'll be able to outdo your old dad."

"Nah Dad, you're the best," Obito grinned wildly then turned to his sister. He slightly inclined his head towards their dad lying flat on the floor then gave her a wink.

"Doggie pile!" Announced Rin loudly, a huge grin plastered across her face.

"Nooooo. Rin sweetie you wouldn't do that to your dear old dad would..Oof!" Kakashi was cut off by another child landing on-top of him.

Kakashi lay there for a few seconds contemplating what to do to get his kids back but then he sensed someone in the doorway.

He looked up to see a woman leaning against the doorframe. She was of medium height with brown hair that fell in soft curls down to her shoulders. Her eyes were so dark that Kakashi found himself lost in them.

"Oh don't stop on my account," chuckled the brunette.

"Hi honey. I'm home," exclaimed Kakashi brightly, a big grin spreading across his covered face.

"Oh really? I hadn't noticed," smiled the woman.

The kids smiled down at their dad before grabbing Karin and pulling her onto the pile as well. There they lay, giggling for at least 10 minutes before Kakashi tipped them all off of him onto the floor. Then he wrapped his arms around his family, hugging them close until they all fell asleep, curled up in a big pile on the kids bedroom floor.

"God I've missed this," thought Kakashi.

Kakashi laid on the floor, his arms still wrapped around his family. He gently stroked Rins hair.

"Just like her mum. What a wonderful colour purple is."

"Kakashi…" Started Anko nervously.

"Yes?" Said Kakashi looking down at her.

"I'm pregnant," Anko stated simply

"Who's the father?" Said Kakashi smiling innocently. Anko hit him over the head.

-

"Congratulations Kakashi. You are the dad of two very beautiful children, one boy, one girl," announced Tsunade with a smile.

"Well of course they're beautiful they are mine," said Anko.

Kakashi gave her a strange look.

"Well you obviously weren't going to say anything so I felt I had to."

Kakashi gave a short laugh and bent down to kiss Anko on the forehead and scoop up his son.

"What shall we call them?" Anko asked Kakashi tiredly.

"Well if you have no preferences I have a request."

"Obito and Rin?" Anko asked knowingly.

"You know me so well. Obito and Rin it is."

[A/N I know I wasn't very inventive with the names but I thought it was a sweet sentiment to Kakashi's dead team-mates.

-

"I'm sorry Kakashi. Just seeing those two growing up is like seeing myself in a miniature. I'm not ready to look after miniature versions of me."

"This has always been your problem hasn't it Anko? You don't know how to love. If you truly loved those children of yours you wouldn't mind seeing yourself in miniature. All that time you spent with Orochimaru must have worn off on you," Kakashi couldn't control himself any longer; he shut the door in Anko's face.

Anko slumped down to the floor and lay there, weeping;

-

Kakashi and Karin were curled up on the sofa together.

"Karin thanks for all your help with the kids," Kakashi looked down at Karin, her head rested on his shoulder. She glanced up at him. Then he yanked down his mask and pressed his lips to hers.

Finally Kakashi pulled gently away when his lungs begged for oxygen.

"Karin…Maybe you should go."

"Why? You were the one who kissed me. You're bang out of order here Kakashi," said Karin, annoyed.

"It's just…Anko," Kakashi said, looking slightly ashamed of himself.

"I'm not telling you to fall in love with me and I'm not trying to replace Anko," said Karin getting up to leave. "I'm just here for you and the kids. But if that's the way you want to keep things, then fine by me."[A/N I so stole that first line from the film Jersey Girl.

Kakashi grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his lap.

"You are never going to leave this house as a single woman again," he murmured softly in her ear.

---

"Honey?" Karin asked softly so as to not wake the kids.

"Hmmm? Oh yeah sorry. I was reminiscing."

Karin gently unravelled herself from under the kids and crawled over to Kakashi. There she snuggled up to him, her lips at his ear.

"What were you remembering in particular?" she muttered softly, her lips vibrating against his ear.

"Our first kiss. Which reminds me. I haven't given you a kiss yet have I?" With that he turned and grabbed her by the waist, rolling her over so she was on top of him.

"Welcome home," said Karin with a smile as Kakashi closed the gap between their lips.

A/N Did you enjoy it? This idea had been sitting in my mind for a bit and then one day I suddenly got a surge of inspiration for it. So I thought I should share it. Constructive criticism and ideas welcome.
