Hey everybody!!! Thanx for the reviews, and here's chappy two!!!

CHAPTER TWO: Surprise

Kakashi smiled, "I take it you missed me?" His eye fell on the baby she had in her arms and it widened. "Is that the baby?" he asked looking up at her.

Rayne smiled and looked down at the sleeping child. "This is Haine. Haru, her twin brother, is inside."

"Twins?" Kakashi asked, obviously surprised.

Rayne just laughed quietly, careful not to wake Haine and nodded. "Yeah, a boy and a girl. Haine has your hair and my eyes while Haru has my hair and your eyes," she explained

"Daddy!!" Kakomi squealed as she ran past ran and into his arms. Kakashi bent to pick her up and Rayne's smile disappeared.

Behind him was a beautiful blonde, wearing a very tight blue outfit and a smile. Rayne looked at her warily, not comprehending who she was.

Kakashi swung Kakomi in a circle. "Hey, how has Daddy's little girl been?" he asked her as he held her.

"I've been a good girl, Daddy. Ask Mommy. She said that you would come home soon and so I was extra good," the little girl said animatedly. While Kakomi was talking to Kakashi, Rayne was staring at the blonde in not the most welcoming manner.

Kakashi finally noticed Rayne's face and almost slapped himself. "Rayne, this is Kiana. Kiana, this is Rayne," he introduced the two.

Kiana smiled and stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you. Kakashi has told me so much about you."

Rayne shook her hand briefly."Nice to meet you too. But, Im afraid he hasnt told me anything about you. We havent spoken to eachother in a year," she said curtly. wondering who the hell this woman was and why she was with Kakashi, her fiance.

Kakashi quickly realized what was going on in Rayne's mind and said, "She was my partner on the misssion. I'll tell you more later. Right now, Im starving."

Rayne took her eyes off of Kiana and nodded to Kakashi, "I just finished making dinner. I'll, fix you a plate" she said distractedly.Her thoughts on Kiana. She stepped aside and let both of them in. She decided to find out about the woman tomorrow. Right now she was just going to be happy that he was home, he was finally home. The thought hit her like a wave and her face lit up in a smile that was extremely hard to dim.

Kakashi set Kakomi down and looked around the living room. "Wow, this place is huge." He looked around at the light forest green walls and the reddish tan couches. There was a stone fire place in the corner of the room and a small coffee table in the middle. Various kids toys were spread out all over and he saw a playpen in the corner. There was a hallway that had a door on each side and one at the end. The entire room was warm earthtones and looked comfortable.

Rayne walked over to the playpen and gently placed Haine in next to the sleeping Haru. Then she turned to Kakashi, who pulled her into a tight hug. Rayne smiled and tugged his mask down, pressing her lips to his in a sweet kiss.

Rayne pulled away first and pulled up his mask before he let her go. "I missed you, Hatake," she said as she took his hand and led them to the kitchen. It was all white and had light wooden countertops.

Kakashi smiled, his eye crinkiling the only way to tell, "I missed you too, Rayne."The smell of beef ramen hung in the air and kakashi practically drooled as he took a seat at the table.

Rayne took out two bowls from the cabinets and filled them with ramen, placing one on front of Kakashi and one in front of Kiana. Both said a quick thanks and dug in. The ramen had to be the best Kakashi had ever tasted, especially after a year of travel food. He quickly devoured his food, in the way he did. Kiana was too busy eating to even try and see his face like she had been doing the past year.

"Mom, Im home!" Kasume called as she entered the house.

"We're in the kitchen honey!" Rayne called back. Kasume soon appeared in the doorway and a looked gasp of surprise was heard as she saw Kakashi.

"Kakashi?" she asked, she had never taking to calling him dad becasue she had called her biological father dad and the name held no love in it for her.

Kakashi looked up at her and stood, pulling her into a hug. Kasume hugged back with a smile on her face. When he released her she looked up at him, still surprised. I cant believe your actually back!"

Kakashi stared at her, the fifteen year old he had left was now a seventeen year old. And two years made a big difference. She was at leats three inches taller and was, to his dismay, more filled out. He'd have to beat guys away.Her long black hair was in a ponytail and she had long sideswept bangs. She wore exactly the same outfit that Rayne had when she first moved to the village: baggy black cargo pants and a tight black teeshirt. Around her neck was a golden locket that Kai had given her for her sixteenth birthday.

"I know, I can hardly believe it either," Rayne said from her spot, leaning against the countertop. Kasume smiled and gave Rayne a peck on the cheek. "I was going to go out to dinner with Hinata, Sakura and Ino, but since Kakashi is back, I'll call it off," she explained.

Rayne shook her head. "He will be here tomorrow too. Go out and have fun. Just be home by two and make sure you tell me if Kai is staying over. Okay?"

Kasume smiled and gave her another kiss on the cheek. "You are the best Mom!" Then she turned and stooped, staring at Kiana. "Who are you?" she asked suspiciously

Kiana stood and offered her hand once again. "Im Kiana, your father's partner on the mission."

"That better be all your his partner in," Kasume growled, not shaking her hand. She had alwasy been the one to say what was on everyone's mind. this time she echoed Rayne's thoughts perfectly. Since Rayne had adopted her, she had been extremelyprotective of her new mother and tried ot get rid of anything that would cause Rayne any more hurt. She felt that Rayne had been through a lot more pain than anyone should and that it was a miracle that she was as kind and loving as she was, dispite her painful past.

"Kasume!" Kakashi chastised. "That was uncalled for."

Kiana just blushed, "That is all we are partners in," she assured the seventeen year old, who had her arms across her chest and a threatening look in her eye.

Kasume turned to Kakashi, "I cant wait to hear this story. But, I've got a date with the girls and then Kai." She then turned to Rayne and gave her a look that let her know that they would talk about it later. Rayne nodded and gave her daughter a smile.

"Have fun, honey."

"I will, love ya Mom. Glad your back, Kakashi!" she called as she grabbed her dress clothes that she would change into when she got to Ino's and ran out of the house.

"Im sorry about her. She has changed since I left," Kakashi said to Kiana.

Rayne shot him a shocked little glare. She hadnt changed that much and there was nothing to apologize for. Kasume had just spoke her mind and was only watching out for Rayne.

Kiana smiled, "No problem, I understand where she was coming from."

Rayne looked at Kakashi and for a moment felt as if she was looking at a stranger. Not seeing eachother in a year and not communicating at all was going to have them feel strange around eachother for a while.

"Kiana, if you're tired, there are two spare bedrooms. One is being occupied but the other is free," she offered the woman, hiding her reluctance to have the blonde in her house.

Kiana nodded, "Sleep sounds great."

"Kakomi, will you show Kiana to the room next to where Kotetsu is staying?" Rayne asked Kakomi. Kakashi stared at Rayne, wondering why the hell Kotetsu was staying in the same house as his fiance.

Kakomi nodded, "Okay Mommy." She took Kiana's hand and led her upstairs to the spare room.

"Kotetsu is staying here?" Kakashi asked Rayne once Kiana and Kakomi were out of hearing range.

Rayne nodded, "He's been helping me with the kids since you've been gone. He's been a godsend," she explained with a smile on her face. "He'll be home soon. Tsunade had him running everywhere helping set everything up for the chuunin exams next week. He's usually home by dinnertime but he said he was going to be a little late today. But, he'll be back in time to read Kakomi her bedtime story."

Kakashi nodded, "How long has he been satying here?" he asked, hiding the jealousy in his voice. He was wondering about rayne and Kotetsu's relationship, even though he knew Rayne would never cheat on him, he felt jealous. It could have to do with the fact that while he was away on a mission that took a whole year of his life with his family away, Kotetsu had been in the center of it.

Rayne thought for a moment. "Since the twins have been born. I was sick for a while after they were born and he was here everyday. Eventually he decided to move in for a while. He's been here since, and he's been great. He helps me with everything," she replied.

Kakashi nodded stiffly again. Rayne had noticed and was about to say somehting when Haru started crying. She quickly ran to the playpen and lifted him, rocking him in her arms gently.

Kakashi watched her and it was then, watching her with his child that he realized how much he missed her. He was about to say so when Kotetsu walked in.

Kotetsu smiled at Rayne and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Hey. Sorry Im so late. Tsunade had me running everywhere."

Kakashi glared at his back openly. He had wanted to punch him when he had kissed Rayne.

Kotetsu, who still hadnt realized Kakashi was there, asked Rayne, "Whats for dinner?"

Rayne bit her lip to keep from laughing at the fact that he still hadnt noticed Kakashi's presence, "Ramen."

Kotetsu grinned, "Sounds great." When he turned to the kitchen he stared. "Kakashi?" he asked surprised. He turned to Rayne, "Am I seeing things or do you see him too?" he asked.

Rayne laughed and smiled up at him. "Im the wrong person to be asking about sanity, but I see him too. He's actually back." She handed Haru over to him. "Take care of him while I make your plate."

He nodded, cradling Haru and walking over to Kakashi, "Hey man. Long time no see. Glad your back," he said smiling friendly.

Kakashi nodded, "Glad to be back. So, I heard you've been helping out my fiance with the kids," he said casually.

Kotetsu nodded as he took his seat at the dining room table. "Yeah, she had complications during the birth and so she was pretty weak when she got home. I offered to stay and help with the kids."

"What kind of complications?" Kakashi asked, forgetting his jealousy and sitting across from the other man.

"Haru was backwards and he couldnt come out. They gave Rayne something that numbed her while they turned him around But then she turned blue and they realized they had given her too much and it had numbed her lungs, so she couldnt breathe. They gave her something to reverse the numbness but she had a hard time breathing and had pneumonia for two weeks. She was too weak to do much and so I came to help," he explained as he stood and put Haru back into the playpen. When he sat down at the table again Kakashi asked another question.

"How has she been since I've been gone?"

Kotetsu sighed, "She was delirious with fever form the pneumonia for a couple of days and she kept asking for you. She missed you, she told me at night when it was just the two of us in her room. She's got to be esctatic you're back."

Kakashi felt a smile on his lips. She had missed him. He felt foolish for needing affirmation about it but, he couldnt help it. He loved her and constantly thought about her while he was away. But he felt as if she would realize she deserved more and leave him. Yes, he knew it was stupid, but, he couldnt help it. Wait- had kotetsu said that it had just been the two of them in Rayne's room?

He was about to ask about it when Rayne came in and set a bowl of hot ramen in front of Kotetsu, who dug in gratefully.

"Hey, Kotetsu, Im gonna head to bed early tonight. Can you take care of the kids? Kasume is gonna be home later," Rayne asked him.

Kotetsu nodded, "Yeah, I got them. Go ahead." he gave her a wink and she slapped him on the shoulder playfully.Rayne smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best."

She then took Kakashi's hand and led him up to her bedroom. Once the door was closed, she turned, yanked down his mask and pulled him into a deep kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. She had been waiting for that kiss since she opened the door to find him there.

Kakashi kissed back as soon as her lips touched his, all the previous misgivings both of them had felt disappeared as they made their way to the bed they were going to share from now on.
