He woke up and took a quick shower; they always seemed to help him wake up in a better mood. After getting dressed he heard the faint honk of a horn, mumbling to himself "alright I'm comin, I'm comin" picking up his bags he made his way to the door. Stepping out of the apartment into the cool crisp air, he quickly locked the door behind him he made his way to the car. Opening the door his dad said "good morning, here I think you could use this" his dad handed him a cup of coffee and they were off.

Shikamaru half way done with his coffee looked hard at the cup, as if it were to tell him the meaning of life was shaken from his deep gaze. "So what happened at Chouji's?" his father asked. Shikamaru turned to look out his window noticing that the sun was just breaking the horizon, he mental slapped himself for picking the earliest flight; he was not a morning person. He retuned his gaze to the front of the car and began "well... It went pretty good, Chou said he would let me take off all the time I needed and he would hold my job, so over all it was good." There was a pause and then his father replied "well that's good, how did Ino take it?" shikamaru turned to look at his father "well seeing as I didn't want her to know, she took it as expected" he sighed and returned his gaze to the traffic ahead.

His dad pulled up to the drop off station and helped him with his bags. Shikaku looked at his so thinking to himself I know you will make the right decision. Saying their last goodbyes they hugged and shikamaru walked into the terminal.

After checking his bags, going through security, and hopping on a tram he patiently waited to board the plane. A voice came over the intercom "attention passengers for flight 765 to Suna we are now boarding, starting with isles 20-40." He made his way to the gate, handing his ticket to the desk clerk he gave a tired smile thinking to himself it's a hour and a half flight, I think ill sleep. He proceeded down the gate and made his way on the plane. It wasn't anything special just a little puddle jumper, there were 40 rows total no first class and it smelled like vomit. He ducked his head getting in and made his way down the cramped isle. He squeezed past a few people making his way to his seat. There was an older gentleman in the isle seat so shikamaru asked if wouldn't mind moving so he could get to his window seat. The older man said in a raspy voice "oh yeah, sure just give me a second these old bones don't move as fast as they use to." Shikamaru gave him a warm smile and thanked him as he scooted into his seat. Shikamaru turned to the older man and stuck out his hand "name's Shikamaru nice to meet you" the older man replied "Jiraiya" while grabbing tight Shikamaru's hand and giving it a firm shake. Shikamaru turned his attention to the window, watching the crew outside load bags on the plane.

Looking at the young man sitting next to him he asked" so where are you off to?" Shikamaru caught off guard, turned to see Jiraiya smiling at him waiting with anticipation for an answer. Shikamaru rubbed the back of his next and replied "Suna, I've got a girl there waiting for me" he ended with a smile, thinking to himself I've got a girl who's pregnant and I don't even know her. Jiraiya just smiled and said "oh I see" wagging his eyebrows and giving him gab with his elbow. Shikamaru was about to say something when the flight attendants voice came over the intercom" passengers please direct your attention to the screens in front of you for safety information."

After watching the video shikamaru was ready to go to sleep as the plane was being taxied to the runway. He closed his eyes think about what was going to happen when he got to Suna. He thought about what he already knew about Temari. He knew her parents were dead, they had passed away when she was young, her father was killed when she was about three, and her mother was in a terrible car accident when she was ten. She was left to live with her grandparent's on her mom's side. He knew she had two younger brothers both of which were extremely successful business men in Osaka. Her youngest brother Gaara was well known for his dirty business tactics. Her other brother Kankuro was known for being a big producer for adult films. Shikamaru could feel himself drifting in and out of consciousness, tired of fighting the urge to go to sleep, he let himself slumber.

"Hey...Shikamaru…hey" he slowly opened his eyes to find Jiraiya pulling his things from out of the overhead compartment. He rubbed his eyes and looked around to find that the people in front of him were exiting the plane. He got to his feet and proceeded to exit the plane. On the way up the gate Jiraiya caught up with him and said "hey there buddy, hope you enjoy your trip here, maybe ill see you around." With that he walked past Shikamaru to baggage claim. Approaching baggage claim he say Temari she waved and said "hey shika, over here!!" she had a huge smile on her face and she looked genuinely happy. He walked up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He thought to himself why did I just kiss her? He shrugged it off and went to the corral that had his flights bags. Jiraiya was on the other side of the corral all you could see was his white hair. His bags came out first and he went back to where he left Temari. He asked "ok ready to go? Where are you parked?" she replied "oh, hold on I need to wait for someone." He was a little skeptical at her answer. He thought who are we waiting for, she didn't say someone was coming with her. Suddenly she was smiling at him or what he thought was at him until she started to wave. Shikamaru turned around and saw who was slowly walking up to the couple…..it was Jiraiya!

"My sweet baby girl, how are you? Did you miss me? "Jiraiya walked past shikamaru and gave his granddaughter a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Taken back at what just happened shikamaru was at a loss for words. Looking at the two he mumbled under his breath"wait till he finds out why I'm really here." Temari turned her attention to shikamaru and introduced her grandfather" shika, this is my dad Jiraiya." Jiraiya coughed and cocked his head to Temari" we met on the plane." He told her. That sweet old man shikamaru had met on the plane was now sizing him up, squinting his eyes as to dissect shikamaru where he stood. Temari sensing tension quickly stepped in between the two men and ushered them out of the terminal to the parking garage. Shikamaru placed his and Jiraiya things in the trunk and slid into the back seat of the car. There was no small talk on the way into town, no radio, just the sound of cars passing.

They drove through town which only lasted about 2 minutes at most. Shikamaru looked at all the shops and noticed nothing had changed since he left. The town looked like noting had changed from in the last forty years. Jiraiya pulled the car into a dinner parking lot. "Alright everyone out" he said with a smile pulling at his lips. Temari got out and approached shikamaru she leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered "if you think he's crazy wait till you meet my mom." They walked in and were immediately greeted with a hug. Shikamaru looking at Temari mouthed "who is this?" she spoke up and said "shika I want you to meet my mom, Tsunade" Shikamaru looked at the women who had let go of their hug and smiled. I just got here and now I'm meeting everyone, great! Thought Shikamaru. Tsunade gave Temari a kiss and ushered them to a table. Tsunade grab Temari's arm and held her back while shikamaru and Jiraiya went to the table. Tsunade and Temari went into the kitchen and had a private chat.

"Well tema he's cute! Did you tell him yet?" Temari looked at her grandma, with an exasperated breath she replied "yeah I told him before he came, I didn't think he would even come…its not like he knows me." Tsunade looked at Temari concern written all over her face and told her "so this wasn't planned, oh well…did you know your mom didn't plan on having you? Yeah she was so happy when see told me.." she turned her head as a small tear rolled down her cheek, remembering her daughter when she was alive always brought her to tears. She quickly whipped her tears away and pulled Temari close and whispered in her ear "I love you so much and so did your mom, I know you'll make the right decision, and if he isn't there for you me and papa will always be here for you" Temari hugged her even tighter, hearing this she felt like a huge weight was lifted off her shoulder. Tsunade knew she loved shikamaru and she would want him to be apart of their child's life, but she wasn't sure shikamaru wanted to be apart of that. From what Tsunade had gathered from their minor encounter, shikamaru seemed like a responsible man. But could she be wrong?
