Temari was let out of hospital a week later and so was their newborn. Temari wanted the name her shiroku but soon changed her mind to shikari due to the fact it was a well know Nara tradition. She didn't mind though, She was happy. "Shikamaru?" she asked as he was leaning over the cot tickling his daughter. The young baby had opened her eyes to show fantastically big green ones not like her mother but they were identical to gaaras. "You don't think she can . . . . You know"temari did a move matching gaaras sand coffin move. "No I don't. At least I don't think she can" replied shikamaru as his daughter yawned lazily. He held back a smirk "it runs in the family I guess" he thought straightening up and stretching.
"Well, I need to grab a few things for Chouji. Ino's been nagging him about kids since she saw ours" he smiled and gave temari a huge hug. "HA! That fat lump deserves it; he's almost as lazy as you Mr. Crybaby. I'm actually quite amazed how un-lazy you were that night" she smiled smugly. "I see your feeling a lot better" pouted shikamaru who was enjoying the out of energy temari and how quiet she was. "Damn straight I am. You try going through labor for 6 hours and see how you'd feel" "I'd rather not" he replied walking past her and waving, "see you later" he shouted through the door to get a small wave back.
He walked down the front steps of their new house that they bought in Konaha but they also had a house in Suna for temari. He walked through the garden gate and closed it behind him with a happy smirk plastered on his beaming face just right for a new father. He turned around and there in his beaming face stood Sai. "Hello" he said with his usual smile. "H-hi Sai" replied shikamaru walking around him and gesturing for him to follow. "What brings you to see me so early in the morning?" asked shikamaru. "I have come to ask a question" he said looking towards the new morning sky as birds flew by. They turned a corner into a busy street with stalls and vegetable stands along the sides. "I" "SAKURA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN!" yelled a voice from behind them. Sakura was running past them as she smiled quickly at the two males and disappeared around a corner in the direction of the hospital. "?" was all that was left as naruto soon fell into the same route as sakura had just been. "Your question Sai?" continued shikamaru pulling out a huge list of groceries. "Oh, I would like to know who you paid to give you a baby". Shikamaru looked at Sai in confusion. "Your 20 years old and you have no idea where babies come from" Sai shook his head "oh my god".
Knock knock. "Coming!" shouted temari. She had shikari in her arms when she trotted over to the door. She opened it and saw lee and gaara. "Hey" she said sweetly. "Hello temari!" said lee cooing at the baby. "Stop smiling" said gaara grabbing the baby from her arms. He walked in through the house and sat on the couch leaving a beaming rock lee and a twitching temari. Temari crunched her fists and slammed the door in poor lee's face and stalked over to gaara. "And what is your problem" she asked in an undertone. "I'm leaving today" he said adjusting the baby exactly how temari had shown him. "oh, well I can get shikamaru to" "no, I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. Just remember what I told you." "I still have to talk to shikamaru about it" "well hurry, they might get restless" "hmm" "well Kankarou will be coming by later to say good-bye" "ok" "good luck". Gaara gave temari a very rare hug and almost walked out the door with the baby but temari reminded him. "bye temari-san" said lee following gaara out the gate.
"Is that everything" whispered shikamaru to himself. "y-yes, we do shikamaru-san" said Sai from under all the bags and things he bought. "Right, let's go to Chouji and ino's place" "ha-hai". As they approached the house they heard ino yelling and Chouji speaking back. "WHY NOT!!" they heard her yell. "Because. . . . WHAT IF THEY GET TEASED BECAUSE THEIR FAT AND CAN'T DO WHAT ALL THE OTHER KIDS CAN DO IN TRAINING AT THE ACADAMY?" Chouji yelled back. Silence fell over the house, and then they heard ino. "Well, I guess they will just have to deal with it Chouji. It's a part of growing up. Doesn't matter how big you are or how small you may be. Children a cruel to other children and that will never change. That's all I wanted to know Chouji." Shikamaru sighed. "Women are all the same." Mumbled shikamaru helping Sai unload the groceries quietly at the door and leaving the bill on the top. He rang the doorbell grabbed Sai and bolted. "Huh?" thought ino as she opened the door. "Shikamaru did do the groceries!" "But he's too lazy to stay for tea?!" grumbled ino.
"Why did you not stay?" asked Sai as he sipped his tea that temari had made for them. "Troublesome" temari rolled her eyes. "Where is the baby?" asked Sai confused. "In bed" "oh" "by the way Sai, about the question you asked me earlier. I'd asked kakashi or Sasuke" "ok. Thank you for your hospitality temari-san, but I must be going now" "bye Sai" "bye". The front door closed and temari looked at shikamaru. "I have something I need to tell you".
What does temari need to talk to shika about and what will kakashi tell sai.
