Shikamaru could only blink as he realized this entire ordeal took up 5 hours and 43 minutes. He looked over to the calendar, as he had done with Hatsune and burned the date into his mind, November 22nd. He looked over to his wife to see a smiling, beautiful woman with their son in her hands. She smiled down lovingly towards the boy, his sea green eyes looking up to her knowingly. He looked like he had done this all before but he really hadn't and was a bit confused. Temari waggled her finger in front of his face and he hesitatingly reached out his hand to grasp the delicate appendage. The blonde sand nin raised her head to face her partner. "Shika…"
"Hmm?"
"No. I mean, his name should start with Shika, like yours does! Just to carry on tradition."
"Oh, then how about… Shikara?"
"…You just came up with that, didn't you?"
"Well, yes. It's too troublesome to come up with one earlier."
"Heeee… Oh, alright. It sounds nice anyway. So, welcome, Nara Shikara, to our family."
Shikamaru felt like a nap but felt like he should have the last word. "Mmmm, what she said."
