The girls went off and did what every girl wants to do; SHOPPING! Temari, Tenten, Hinata, Sakura and even Ino went to every store they could possibly find and bought everything from diapers, to cradles even breast milk testers. Hinata called up Kurenai to help with the shopping and being the mother that she is, Kurenai gave Temari books, formula, a crib, a high-chair, basically hand-me-downs because Ausrei didn't need any of it anymore.
"Wow guys! I don't know what to say! Are you sure we have everything we need for the twins?" Temari blushed at the sight of everything lying around Hinata's mansion floor.
"Well, Temi-chan, we could always get more stuff from the baby shower that's going to happen on Friday." Tenten said calming the mother to be. Sakura had quick work of planning a baby shower to show off Temari and her twins. Everyone was invited, even some of the lesser anime characters that no one really remembers but we know their face.
"I wonder if Shikamaru found a place. I want to set up the cribs and organize everything for the twins." Temari said as she tried to stand up. Suddenly she was in massive pain. She dropped to the floor and started screaming from the torture coming from her stomach.
"Temari!" The girls screamed in unison. With quick reactions, Kurenai calmed everyone down.
"Hinata, bring a hot towel, Ino tell Tsunade to clear a room, Sakura you keep her pulse steady and calm her down. Tenten! Run and find the boys! HUSTLE EVERYONE!" Kurenai gave out orders and returned to calming down Temari who was crying from pain.
"Sweetie, it's okay. It's possibly just a slight contraction or something. Can you move? We're going to take you to the hospital. It's okay baby, just relax." Sakura and Kurenai and Hinata lifted the pregnant teen and swiftly carried her down the street to the Konoha Hospital.
10 MINS LATER
Tsunade walked out to the waiting entourage of people in the lobby. She was smiling and brought good news to everyone.
"How is she Godaime?" Shikamaru asked.
"Temari is fine; those babies are just unusually strong and very smart. They started kicking at the same time and it was quite painful. You can go in and see her." Tsunade patted his shoulder and he relaxed. Everyone rushed in the room to see Temari getting up from the bed to put on her shoes. The medicine she had taken made all the pain go away.
"Damn those kids. They're too smart. Kicking me at the same time like that, I can't believe it." Temari smirked.
"You gave us a scare. I thought it was labor or something." Gaara stated.
"Well, in lighter news, I found the perfect place. My parents built us a two story house just outside the town. We're close to the forest, my house, and all of our friends. Plus it would only take us two and a half days to get to Suna from there. I can't wait for you to see it. I know you'll love the house Temari." Shikamaru said as he looked into her eyes.
They day was ending and the large group went their separate ways. Temari and Shikamaru ended up staying at his parents' house so his mother could watch over Temari and her growing belly. Today marked the end of the 4th month of the pregnancy and tomorrow would be the longest day ever. Everyone was coming out to help clean up and decorate the house for the couple. It was decided that the shower was going to be in the backyard of the house. Surprisingly, Ino and Sakura agreed to work together to plan the shower.
Temari was very happy that everyone was coming to help her. It does take a village to raise a family, and in her case, she had two villages helping her raise the twins. She was very relaxed and very confident that everything was going great. It was more than what Sakura could say, now that Sasuke was back.
"Sakura-blossom. What's wrong?" Temari asked while she waddled over to the bench Sakura was sitting.
"Haha, haven't been called that in a while. It's just, Sasuke is home and I don't know how to handle it. I mean I'm happy and I have nothing to be sad about either, but something is off. I feel like i haven't been able to talk to him about us in a very long time about our relationship or about anything else. What could be the problem Temi?" Sakura asked while trying to hold in the tears.
"Well, I'm sure he'll come around. Just let him settle and get used to the village again. I mean, he did come back during the craziest time ever what with the twins coming anytime soon so it might be too much too soon. Don't worry you're pink head. Well, it's getting dark want me to-"
"I'll take her, Temari. I'm going that way anyway." Kakashi said in his mellow voice.
"Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said surprised.
"Hmm. Well goodnight you two. See you tomorrow." And with that, they went their separate ways, ending off the day with clear hearts and heads, waiting tomorrow's sunrise.
