I don't own Naruto.

Thank you all for your reviews.

The Sixth stood at the grave of his father. He had just left a meeting for the construction of his monument. The constructors had been arguing relentlessly on whether to carve the face with or without his trademark mask, with or without head protector hung over Obito's eye. They never asked what he wanted. Lazily, Tsujiko had sauntered in and sat her very pregnant self next to her husband.

"Without the mask, with the Sharingan," she had said rather annoyed with the men.

"I agree," Kakashi had said not really caring. He was bored and tired. He wanted to read Icha Icha very much. His wife shifted her weight and bore down on his thigh to stand up.

"Come on honey," she said taking her husband by the hand. They walked out in silence. They really didn't have a lot to say to one another. Later on that night, they would have another one of their getting-to-know you sessions.

"I'm going to make dinner. It's a eight tonight," she said leaving him standing outside of the conference room.

"You didn't need anything?" He asked as he watching the cute woman waddle away from him.

"No, you just looked so bored. I had to get you out of there." Kakashi laughed. He followed after his wife. "My hero."

"I want to go home now I think," he said covering his wife's shoulder with his arm.

"Can you do that?" she said wondering where Kakashi's shadow, Iruka, had gone.

"Iruka is waiting downstairs, you know," she added as they headed down the stairs. Kakashi admired his wife. She didn't want to take the elevators. It made him nervous however. Although she was careful, Kakashi went ahead and teleported them both to the bottom of the stairs. She gave him a glare.

"You know I need to exercise," she said actually thankful that Kakashi had done it. "How else am I going to get my figure back after this guy comes? I'll be fat, and you won't want me anymore."

Kakashi laughed at her.

"You still look hot to me," he said kissing her cheek. "You're beautiful." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah whatever, I'm a baby whale. There's nothing sexy about me."

Kakashi began to laugh, but he saw Tsujiko's face. She wasn't joking. In truth, her self-esteem had suffered a lot during the pregnancy. Tsunade was actually worried that her daughter was becoming depressed.

"It's a turn on, really," Kakashi said wondering how to express himself. "Seeing you like this. Pregnant, with my seed, my baby. It's like that night is being continued inside of you." Tsujiko had stopped walking to look at Kakashi. She had learned a lot about him in past seven months. Kakashi was a deep thinker. She could tell that he was searching for words to express his emotions.

"It makes me a little horny to see you like this because, well…"

"You're the reason I'm like this," she finished understanding him a little better now. He wasn't just patronizing her. He really thought she was sexy.

"Yeah, like I'm claiming you more and more, over and over, from the inside out." He said blushing a little. Tsujiko watched his eye as it went from mirthful to lustful. She smiled sweetly at him. He leaned in and they shared a sweet kiss. He really amazed her. The depths of him were something that she didn't mind discovering. Each day, he seemed to become more and more precious to her.

She felt less and less irresponsible for being impregnated by him.

"Kakashi, thank you," she said as she rubbed her belly absently. Kakashi walked behind his wife. He pressed his groin into the small of her back. She was laughing at him. Truly, Kakashi was a pervert to suggest screwing his very pregnant wife in the main stairwell of the Hokage tower. "I should be thanking you," he whispered placing his large hand over hers.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Iruka said not wanting to ruin any tender moments. Kakashi didn't seem to mind, as the ceremonial robes he was wearing would cover any erection he would have. He would be happy when he could go back to his jonin uniform.

"He's all yours Iruka," Tsujiko said, "I'm going home to make dinner." She waved them good- bye and stepped out into the sunlight. Kakashi wanted to run after her, but alas, Iruka would keep him on his schedule.

So, they had meeting after meeting, until they were all finished. Kakashi, thanks to Iruka was on time for each one. Then, on the way home he decided to see his father.

"They're going to put my face on the mountain, Dad," he began pensively.

"I know, it's crazy," he said sitting with his legs crossed on the grass. Iruka felt like he was intruding, but he couldn't just leave his post. He listened.

"Tsujiko, is really big now. It's a boy. Isn't that great?"

"We haven't thought of names, but I think we'll wait after he arrives. Then we'll see about names. Everyone has got a suggestion. He's definitely not going to be Kakashi Jr."

"I wasn't expecting to be father so soon, but I'm glad it happened. Tsujiko is a little worried. She didn't even want to have kids, but she decided to have mine. I married her. Not because it was the right thing to do, but…she makes me want to live, you know."

"I can remember that night. It was so crazy. Gai, Asuma, and Shikamaru were injured. I thought Gai would hang, but, Shikamaru, geez, that guy is so smart. He reminded me of the Shodaime's honor codes. He didn't know them, but he knew I knew them. It was a slim chance, but it worked."

"I wish you were here to them all. Our proud teams."

"After I left the hospital, Tsunade said she had already decided to make me her successor, the council agreed with her…"

"I went straight to Tsujiko's, I was so hungry…"

Kakashi had teleported himself to Tsujiko's house and perched outside of her window. He tapped lightly. She lay on her back. She stirred and looked up at him through the window. She waved him in.

"I didn't think I'd get to see you tonight." Kakashi smiled. He settled down on the bed beside her. Immediately, his stomach rumbled. She laughed and rose up off of her bed. She got him food from the kitchen. Kakashi ate happily in her bed. Full and satisfied he began to undress.

"What are you doing?"

Kakashi now clad only in his black boxers.

"Going to sleep," he said flatly. He plopped backward intending to go to sleep right then and there. Tsujiko climbed on top of him. She wore a tank top and linen shorts. It allowed her to feel his warm spongy genitalia through the fabric. She bounced on him a little. He groaned aloud.

"What are you doing?" He clutched both sides of her torso in his hands trying to stop her from moving.

"We're alone finally, don't you want to…you know…"

Kakashi was exhausted, but his penis had other plans now. He tried to roll her off, but she only put her weight on his crotch even more. He could feel himself growing.

He tried to pin her on her stomach, but she escaped. That's how it happened. They wrestled and sparred until their passion took over. There was so much laughter. He found himself on top of her thrusting with abandon.

She tried to remember how they had wound up outside on the patio, but she couldn't. They lay there entangled in the sheets. He woke up to realize that he was still inside of her. So, he made love to her again. Abruptly, he realized that he had a meeting with the council, probably to discuss the Asuma-Gai situation. He left her note with a kiss.

They had continued dating a while after that. About four weeks after that night he impregnated Tsujiko, Kakashi was pulled in front of the council again.

Tsunade wasted no time.

"I'm retiring. Will you be the Hokage?"

"W-What?" Kakashi said dropping his copy of Icha Icha.

Utatane glared at him, "Will you be the Hokage?"

Why was she so mean?

Jiraiya didn't say anything. Kakashi was pleading with the old man to say something. His eye was wide. Tsunade placed her palms flat on the table.

"You are the strongest jonin in my ranks. You're familiar with all of the village's policies and codes. You are known and respected in all five countries. You are the logical candidate."

"I also read porn in public," he had said picking his book up off the floor. In that moment, Tsujiko burst into the room hold a pink slip of paper.

"What the fuck is this!" she screamed. Jiraiya stood on his feet. He rushed over to her trying to calm his daughter down. She was obviously upset about something.

Tsunade took a sip of her water.

"What do you mean, Tsuji?"

Jiraiya eyed Tsunade and Kakashi and took the pink piece of paper away from her.

Sakura, please tell Tsuji that she is pregnant and not suffering from a rare flesh eating stomach virus. It's morning sickness. I'm in meeting room 39.

The Fifth Hokage.

Apparently Sakura was late for the follow up checkup. Tsunade had left the note on top of her desk on a bright piece of paper marked TSUJI.

Of course Tsunade would never admit that Sakura had been detained on purpose because she didn't know how to tell her daughter that she was pregnant, but the sooner the better. She would never admit that she had scheduled the council meeting in the hospital conference room on purpose. She would never admit any of it. She knew the baby was an accident. Tsunade was just a big chicken.

Jiraiya took the piece of paper and read once, and then again, and then again. He returned to his seat and showed Tsunade the paper. She nodded and Tsujiko cursed again.

"What the fuck! Is that how you were going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" Kakashi said cocking his head to the side.

"Sakura is a very capable medic nin-"

"Mother, I'm pregnant…pregnant…you can't leave some kid to help me with this…" Tsujiko was leaning over the council table screeching at her mother.

Kakashi rose slowly from his seat and pulled her gently by the waist.

"Come here, Tsujiko," he said softly realizing that his child was floating around in her body.

She hadn't even noticed that he was there. She looked up at him.

"What are we going to do, Kakashi?" She was near tears. Kakashi swallowed hard. His throat was very dry.

"That's a very good question?" Jiraiya said with a murderous glint in his eye. "What are you going to do, Kakashi?"

"Um, I'm sorry, said one councilmember, but Hatake-san has more taxing question on the table. Hatake-san?"

Tsujiko just realized that she had in fact interrupted a meeting.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry, uh, Kakashi…we can talk later right?"

"No, now is fine," he said quietly. "I actually need to know something from you before I can answer them."

Tsunade smiled. She had expected Kakashi to be resistant, but Tsujiko's pregnancy would give Kakashi more reason to be connected to the village. It really strengthened her hand, so to speak. She arranged things perfectly despite Shizune's disapproval.

"What?" She said feeling a little awkward.

"Will you have my baby?"

She was stunned. What was on the line here?

"Are we ready for a baby?"

"There's no way you can be," Jiraiya said adding his two cents. Personally, he didn't want Tsujiko to have an abortion. That was his grandkid damn it. He wanted to be grand dad very much.

"But dad," she began not finding her words.

"I love you," Kakashi said softly. The council sat in awe of the tender moment. Had they misjudged the young man's character? He was good warrior militarily, but it seemed he was able to be a part of society as well. "I love you, and, I want this baby. I'm scared as hell, but I think we can do this together."

Tsujiko inhaled.

"Ok then, we can do this. We can have a baby." Cheers went up around them.

"Okay, I'll do it," he said looking into his wife's eyes. The council seemed to heave a sigh of relief in unison.

"W-what?" Tsujiko said looking at her future husband confused.

Much to her dismay, Kakashi put her in situations where she made decisions for the village all the time.

She had no clue what was on the line.

That's how it happened.

"Yeah, Dad, it's so crazy."

Iruka hated to interrupt.

"Hokage-sama," said Iruka. Kakashi turned and looked at Iruka.

"The sun is setting. It's the last day. You're no longer required to be in your inaugural robes."

Kakashi smiled. In one motion, He removed the long robes and tossed them to Iruka.

"I don't have anymore meetings do I?"

"No," Iruka said trying not to let the robes sweep the ground. Kakashi wore his old navy blue pants and tank top underneath and stretched his arms. He enjoyed the feelings of weightlessness.

"I'm going home, Iruka."

"Alright," Iruka turned and began to walk toward the Hokage tower.

"Oh yeah, Iruka," Kakashi said appearing in front him. Iruka would have to tell him not to do that in the future. "Tsujiko's inviting you to do dinner." Iruka smiled.

"I'd like that very much," he said following Kakashi through the trees to his home that his father in law had given him.

When he arrived there, his parents-in law now husband and wife, were sitting on the patio enjoying the sunset. All four of his students were in his den watching a movie and eating Soba noodles. He studied them all carefully. Sasuke was sitting on the couch next to Naruto who sat next to Sakura that who was sandwiched in between him and Sai. They looked cute. No one would think that any of them would be capable of as much violence as he had seen. Sakura looked especially adorable in her red and white polka dotted dress.

"Hey guys, hey Sakura," Kakashi said entering the room. They all turned and looked at him. Sakura smiled at once at greeted him back. Naruto grinned. Sasuke and Sai only offered him nods in his direction.

"Kakashi?" She said sticking her head in the room. She carried in a tray of sushi and nigiri and sat it in front of the four teens. It all looked delicious.

"Hello," Iruka said coming in with Jiraiya and Tsujiko from the patio.

"Hello Iruka. I'm glad you're back, Kashi" Tsujiko waddled over to her husband and kissed him on his cheek.

"Please have some sushi Iruka," she said pointing to an empty tray. Tsujiko gasped. She waddled over and stood in front of the four teens. Sakura looked especially hurt. Tsujiko took it to mean that she didn't get any either.

"You boys," Tsujiko said glaring at them. "Did you eat all the nigiri and sushi?"

Sai didn't look sorry.

"You have to be quick with Naruto around."

Naruto looked a little remorseful.

"Shut up ass face. You took more than me."

Sasuke looked…embarrassed.

"I lived without real food for a while. Even hospital food is good to me. I'm very sorry. Your food is very delicious. I got carried away."

Naruto and Sai looked like they wanted punch the Uchiha. Sasuke was the renegade, but he was by far the most mannered of the young men. Sakura sat a little shocked. Sasuke was actually being cordial.

Tsujiko smiled softly at Sasuke.

"It's okay Sasuke. You can make it up to me. Go in to town and order some more from Sei's place. Your treat."

"That's fair," Sasuke said. He looked at Naruto and Sai. "You two, let's go." Sai began to retort, but realized he had in fact consumed a third of the delectable food himself. He decided to follow after Sasuke.

Naruto on the other hand, "Awwww, nee-chan, don't buy that crap. He's just trying to make me look bad."

Naruto always made Tsujiko laugh.

"Okay Naruto, you can go buy me some chocolate covered goodies from the candy shop." Naruto smiled. He knew the kind that she liked.

The three teens headed into town leaving the four adults and Sakura to themselves. Something had been bothering Sasuke, and while he didn't want to admit it, he was rather troubled by it.

"Naruto, what's going on with you and Sakura?"

It didn't surprise Naruto that Sasuke had noticed their change in behavior. The forthrightness was a characteristic of the Uchiha. Naruto had to be careful how he answered.

"What do you mean?"

Sasuke stopped walking and stared at Naruto's head. Sai stopped walking because it would be amusing to watch the two fight each other.

"Her behavior toward you is very different. Your behavior is different too." Naruto turned and stared at Sasuke in his face. He wondered why the raven haired boy cared to know. Did he want to stake a claim on Sakura? Naruto knew this time would come. He wasn't dating Sakura. Yet, he feared if Sasuke actually returned Sakura's childhood desires toward her, Sakura would never be his. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to deny Sakura anything. It wasn't his right. If she didn't want Naruto, Naruto would love her anyway even if it ripped his heart in half everyday to see her with someone else.

The sun set over Konoha. Night descended upon them. Naruto's blue eyes seemed to twinkle in the twilight.

"Just ask me what you want to know, Sasuke."

"Are you dating Sakura?"

"No."

"Are you fucking her?"

"No."

"Why is she wearing a dress?"

"I don't know."

Just then, they heard someone approaching. It was Shikamaru.

"Yo," he said casually. At once, all six eyes fell on the bouquet of lilies in his hand. Sasuke could see the card. They were for Sakura. Shikamaru was oblivious of the conversation that had taken place earlier. He figured that the team was heading toward the Kage's house and not away.

"Good," he said standing next to Naruto. "I won't get lost now. It would be troublesome." It took Shikamaru all of three seconds to realize that he had six eyes burning a hole in his face.

"What's going on?" he said taking a step back.

"Why do you have flowers," Sai asked hoping that things would get a little interesting.

"They're for Sakura," he said flatly. Shikamaru scanned the eyes of Naruto and Sasuke.

"Why are you bringing Sakura flowers," Naruto asked folding his arms. Shikamaru held his tongue. He wanted to ask, why he had been fucking Ino, but thought better of it.

"Because Asuma sensei wanted her to have them," he said moving past the pair. That made sense. Sakura's skills were the reason Asuma could walk. He didn't bother looking back at them. He could feel them staring at him. Fortunately, Shikamaru could see the Kage's home up ahead.

Sasuke watched as Sakura came outside to greet him. They shared hello's and went inside. Sakura never touched the flowers. It was like she didn't even notice he had them.

Satisfied, Sasuke turned and proceeded toward the village. Naruto wanted to ask what Sasuke intended to do, but not with Sai there.

Little did any of them know, that Sasuke's intuition and suspicions of Shikamaru's flowers, had been very accurate. Shikamaru didn't lie. Asuma did suggest that Shikamaru take the girl some flowers. Shikamaru hadn't wanted to. It was so troublesome. However, his sensei knew best, so he brought them for Sakura upon his suggestion.

Shikamaru and Sakura had grown very close during the time he was confined in the hospital. Yet, the pair thought it best to keep it a secret from her teammates for the time being. They were trying to figure out what was going on. Of course, Tsunade and Kakashi knew and also realized the complications it could have for Kakashi's team.

Tsunade and Kakashi had actually sat down and noticed the trend of couples getting together among the rookie 9 and Gai's team.

Neji and Tenten. Shikamaru and Sakura. To everyone's surprise Sai and Hinata seemed to have a connection. They would have to be more considerate of how they formed teams and the length of it. Tsunade would make sure that all of her kunoichi were using their birth control properly and Kakashi would make sure the young men were well versed on the do's and don'ts of dating.

Little did either of the Kage's know, that the birth of the Sixth's son would mark the day of several rebirth's in Konoha.

Eventually, the boys returned and the group sat down for a wonderful meal. Sasuke even helped Tsujiko clean up afterward. They had fun. Yet, Jiraiya could see the strain three young men were having not choking each other as they polarized around the lovely pink haired girl.

Shikamaru and his genuine admiration of her. Naruto and his unyielding devotion to her. Jiraiya wasn't sure what was pulling Sasuke, however, it made Jiraiya smile to think that this would be a great plot to a really great story.
