"Sasuke?" asked sakura as she peered over her fiancé's shoulder at the note he held. He closed his eyes and smirked. "What?" sakura asked as he handed the note to sakura. "Dear sakura, we had neglected to check our time tables before the christening and are very unhappy to say that we are unable to ATTEND YOUR WEDDING!!" sakura nearly burned through the floor after reading this. "HOW CAN THEY DO THIS!?" "Well, they are first time parent's sakura think about it" Sasuke said. "We will be too soon" added sakura. Sasuke beamed as he began to daydream.

"Welcome" said gaara blankly. It had been three days to get there but due to how lazy shikamaru dragged his feet temari got there a day early after leaving her husband behind. "Nice to see you again ga – Kazekage-sama" said an exhausted shikamaru. "You would like to know where temari is, I'm guessing?" asked Kankarou from a dark corner. "Y-yes" shikamaru said slight fear in his voice. "Remember what we told you that day?" questioned Kankarou for a second time "uhh . . . . . . "

(Flashback)

A wedding reception of wild dessert flowers and cherry blossoms decorated the edge of tables and chairs. Sakura was standing with Tsunade at the end of an ail. "Tsunade – sama?" said sakura as she winked at Sasuke, who just turned away with a blush, and walked over to stand next to naruto and Chouji. "Yes?" answered Tsunade. "Why isn't gaara doing your job" she asked as the music started. Shikamaru stood up and walked over next to Chouji. His hair hung limply but nicely just above his shoulders as he sighed. Hinata rounded the corner with naruto holding her arm. They entered after Tsunade had stopped at the other side of the ail with shikamaru. Sakura came next with Sasuke, who was still blushing heavily. Then Chouji and ino who were smiling happily at the crowd. Next came temari and her two brothers.

Temari wore a full length dress that hugged her figure tight as she walked. The front of the dress split at the front and flowed Longley as it trailed behind her like water. Gaara wore a tux with a red flower on his chest in his pocket; Kankarou wore an identical suit only he had a yellow flower in his pocket.

Temari smiled widely at shikamaru whose mouth hung limply near the floor as was narutos mouth. Temari has never looked so womanly in all her life until that day. She walked softly and was well grounded in those high heels and her hair was curled and shined in the light from the sun. Tsunade looked at sakura who was smiling happily to Sasuke "Gaara wanted to walk her up with Kankarou" she said beaming at her student. "Who gives Sabaku no temari to nara shikamaru?" asked Tsunade to gaara and Kankarou. "We do" they both said in unison. Temari lifted her feet to step onto the step but stopped abruptly due to the two males that hadn't let go of her arm. "You guys?!" she whispered angrily. "Nara shikamaru" said gaara. "If you hurt our sister" said Kankarou. "You die" gaara ended as he and Kankarou let go of their sister.

(End of flashback)

"Kind of" he said lazily and putting his hands in his pockets only to withdraw them quickly as a burning sound erupted from them. "Damn temari" he hissed as he inspected his fingers for burns. Kankarou smirked at the odd steam rising from shikamarus pocket. This was the first actual proper time they had ever spoken about this and shikamaru had hoped they had forgotten. "Well good, 

hate for you to forget" said Kankarou coming out of the corner and standing next to shikamaru. "Brother" he said smirking at the word he aimed at shikamaru.

Shikamaru left after a few hours with gaara and Kankarou. They ended up at a rather large house that had the kazekages wind symbol on the mail box. Sounds of music came to shikamarus attention and he smiled as the beat registered in his brain. Temari was home and enjoying the spring weather in Suna, as hot and dry as it seemed to him.

"Temari, I bought your good for nothing husband home!" shouted Kankarou over the music coming from the upstairs room. Shikamaru followed him through the hallway, he caught a glimpse of a dark room which held the crib of his daughter, but he'll be able to see her tomorrow he concluded. He then entered the kitchen and took a seat at the table. He rubbed his face as his head begun to thump through the music and heat. After a few minutes temari jumped through the door with shikaris' bottle. She walked over to the fridge opened it and stood still for a moment. She closed it slowly and looked at Kankarou softly. "Did you get milk today?" she asked walking over and fetching three glasses from the cabinets. Even in his current state of mind, shikamaru knew that tone and how she was talking. She was plotting a 'temari-revenge' scheme. He smirked as she pulled out the milk and poured the drinks. "Ah, no. I totally forgot. "Said Kankarou receiving the cup from his sister.

Temari watched as Kankarou took a hearty swig of the milk and begun to gag. She placed down her cup and grabbed her younger brother by the color. "Don't make me ask you again then" she stated sternly letting go of Kankarous clothing and watching as he took off out the kitchen door. She sighed as the small new-born babies cries flowed through the house. She turned to shikamaru "could you get that?" she asked holding out the bottle.
