Chapter 2

This time between taking the test and getting the results back was a nightmare. Literally nightmare. Gina is not this calm and quiet baby Gaara hoped her to be. If, and this is a big if he must've admit after this time, she is his, she must have inherited character after her mother. Gaara couldn't say that for fact cause he didn't actually know her. They still had to worked out some kind of compromise. Gaara used to be focused on his job, that was the most important thing in his life. But now he was supposed to take care of a little human being.

Kazekage do not like someone to interrupt in his work, but he decided to make an exception for Gina. Even if she was a true devil back in his living quarters when they were in Kazekage's office she was like an angel. Gaara had a crib brought into his office right the next day Gina appeared in his life. Kazekage's office seems to be the perfect place for nap.

Right now the baby was sleeping quietly in her crib while Gaara was working on new strategies for the village.

"Gaara sama?" Matsuri asked walking to the room. First thing she's done was to approaches to the crib and take a look at the little girl inside. "Wow, she is really calm here" The girl smile to her boss.

"I don't know why, but this office is the only place where she is a good girl." Gaara smile back to Matsuri with his light smile. "Do you need something?"

"Your test results are here." Sand kunoichi handled a sealed envelope to Gaara. The man took it from her hands and stared at it for a while

"You didn't open it." He said after a long moment of silence and the only respond he get was a nod. "So let's check if I am really your father…"

Gaara opened the envelope and took the papers out of it. He was scared and stressed by whole situation. What if he really is the baby's father. Or worse, what if he isn't. During these past two weeks he started to like this little girl who live in his house. And he was better with her every day. At day one he wasn't even able to hold her properly and now it is like the most normal thing in the world. The papers in his hand was getting heavier and heavier.

"Can you?" he asked handing the papers to Matsuri.

The girl looked at his boss but she didn't take the documents. Instead she came closer and stand right next to him.

"Together?" she asked

"Together" was his response

They turned the pages and searched for the answer at the bottom of it.

"Congratulation" Matsuri was the first to say something. Anything. "Gina is your daughter Kazekage sama"

"Drop the title Matsuri" Gaara says "I am a father" the man stepped closer to the crib and pet the baby's head. "Have you heard that Gina? I am your daddy"

Gina's only response was a little "mmmhhh" while she was wriggling in her crib.

" I have a very important question for you Matsuri" Gaara continued without looking at her.

Matsuri's heart skipped a beat. She was in love with this man for a long time now. She wasn't even sure when it's started. Was that the time when she picked him to train her, or maybe when he rescued her after she was kidnapped. After all, it doesn't matter. She loves him and now maybe, just maybe he will ask her to stay with him for baby's sake. Yeah sure, Gina is not her baby, and frankly speaking Matsuri was a little bit disappointed in Gaara that he did what he did but still. This could be her chance for ' and then they lived happily ever after'.

" Would you like to help me with her? You will be her first Godmother. Or maybe second, Temari would kill me if she wouldn't be the First Godmother." Gaara tried to give her the cutest smile he can manage.

That weren't words Masuri wanted to hear. She wanted something about love, about relationship and maybe something like 'Matsuri come live with me, I wanna give us a chance.'. Instead she gets 'help me with her'.

"Yes Gaara sama" she said sadly " I will be very glad to help you with your daughter. Now please excuse me, I should go back to my work" and she run away from his office. Like a coward.

Gaara was left in the middle of his office. He was puzzled what had just happened. He was thinking that Matsuri would be more enthusiastic about his offer. Well couldn't just go with the words he wanted to say like 'give me a chance, I want to try if we can be together. Everybody consider us a couple anyway', could he? This was not a right time for that. He'd just get to know for sure that he has a baby with another girl.

Gina started to cry so Gaara just picked her up and hug. The man looked down at his daughter and smile.

"I hope you will help me and your aunt Matsuri get together one day baby. I think you like her right?" The little girl smile at her dad and giggle when he mentioned Matsuri's name " Yes you like her, don't you? Next task for us Gina: win aunt Matsuris' heart"

Matsuri who has just wanted to enter the room smiled when she heard those words. She wanted to apologize for her reaction. But right now she just closed the door behind her. Maybe, just maybe her dreams would finally came true.
