Pregnancy

It was quiet in the Nara household for a change, Temari started to take on knitting much to Shikamaru's surprise and he started to doze off on her lap.

"I'm pregnant," whispered Temari to the supposedly sleeping Nara. There was a calm silence until his eyes shot open and stared at his wife simply amazed at her.

"You are?" He sat up almost immediately and stopped her knitting by grabbing her hand. She didn't look up into his eyes and just nodded once, then twice, "When did you find out?"

"A few days ago," she mumbled almost scared of what he would say, "I can get an abortion if you want."

Then there was a tense silence that followed. Shikamaru's hand that gripped her knitting loosened and trailed up to her chin making her slowly turn towards him, "You're not being serious are you?"

"But I'm not fit for a mother Shikamaru! What if I'm horrible with kids?" said Temari clearly frustrated at herself and looked away from Shikamaru, "The other day you said kids were troublesome anyway."

Shikamaru mentally scolded himself for saying something, especially in front of his fiancée, who he knew would be touchy about these kinds of things so it wasn't much of a surprise when she hid it from him after he said that, "Yeah they are but I never said that I don't want them."

She blinked looking down and sighed, "I don't know Shikamaru."

"Oi oi, don't do that to me. You know you're just making things worse," said Shikamaru shaking his head

"Do what?"

"That thing where you look down, and not at me. You look like you're avoiding the situation," sighed Shikamaru

"You do it all the time."

"So?"

"So, you have no right to say that to me."

"But you're Temari."

This time she looked at him in confusion, "Your point?"

"You're a strong kunoichi, hell the strongest one to actually make me do things. Those things don't match you," said Shikamaru, "And I'm sure our kid will be find because they'll have a loud mother like you to know where their place is."

"So you want this kid?" she asked with a tint of hope

He nodded and placed his head back on her lap as she resumed knitting a small hat with a lingering smile.

"You do know we have to think of a name though."

"We can argue about that later," she sighed, "For now let's enjoy our day off."

"I'm not letting you go on missions anymore."

"We can argue about that later as well."

"No, that's not even an argument. You're pregnant," said Shikamaru

Then it was not so quiet in the Nara household anymore as Temari's voice echoed through the halls.

"Dammit," sighed Shikamaru frustrated as he got hit by one of her knitting sticks, "I hope my kid doesn't marry someone like her."
