Shikamaru was panicking on the inside. He had important questions, but they were important to him. What if Temari didn't want the same as him? He breathed slowly trying to calm his nerves, and he looked good on the outside, but his insides were having a harder time with that. He remembered what his dad said and looked down at the ground.
"Temari, can we talk?" Shikamaru said a little fast.
"I'm not in the mood. I only came out here was so I could watch some T.V. and because that room is-"
"Do you want kids?" Shikamaru said loudly, cutting her off.
He looked up at her slowly to see her staring wide-eye, but then she looked away, ashamed.
"You don't." Shikamaru looked down as well.
"No, I do! I just don't know if I can." Temari shook her head.
"Well, it's not your fault. We have other options-"
"It is my fault! I want a girl so bad, but I can't have sex with you!"
"Wait, what? You're physically capable of having a baby?"
"Yeah, I just don't know if I can love you or have sex with you."
"I get that."
"Wait, would you have wanted to sex with me?" Temari grinned and raised an eyebrow.
"I ah n-no! I um w-was just saying th-that-"
"Alright, I believe you." Temari sang, standing up. "Anyway, I'm going to go take a nap."
"Wait, so if you did love me and wanted to have sex with me you would want kids?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah." Temari nodded.
"Like a boy and then a girl."
"Sure, I don't care when I have a girl, I just want one." Temari said after making a thinking face.
"So, if I want kids I have to make you fall in love with me." Shikamaru smirked and winked at Temari.
"I guess. Good luck with that." Temari blushed and shut the door.

Temari was fast asleep so Shikamaru went out to his to his cloud watching spot, but his resting time was cut short because his father came up and sat with him.
"So, I was thinking you could bring Temari over to take care of the deer. It'd be a good bonding experience."
"Well, she's not feeling well, maybe another time."
"So, are you two doing okay?"
"I talked to her. And pretty much told her I'd make her fall in love with me." Shikamaru smiled nervously, but then turned away and shook his head with his head in his hands.
"So now you're running away?"
"I don't know what to do. I just wanted a not too ugly and not too beautiful wife, that didn't work out, and have two kids, a boy and then a girl. I might never get that now." Shikamaru lied back down.
"You know, if you truly do like her then go for it, but don't fake your feelings because it'll hurt both of you."
"How did you get mom to love you?"
"I'll tell you, but first tell me if you do love her."
"I don't love her dad, but I like her."
"Alright, then just take her out to a fancy place and be kind, show her a more sensitive side of you." Shikaku patted his son on the back before getting up and leaving.
This was pretty short, but next chapter will be longer and up today! Promise!
