~ Fast Forward Two Months~

Eva had felt sick lately so she went to the doctor thinking it was the flu only to find out that she was pregnant. Eva took a deep breath, and headed for the Kazekage's house, and knocked on the door. Temari answered it, and said, "Hey Eva Kankuro isn't back yet."

Eva faked a smile, and said, "I know I have official business with Gaara." Temari steps aside saying, "You know where to go he's in his office." She notices how pale she is, and adds, "Don't tell me that my brother knocked you up."

Eva walks past her and starts heading up the stairs Temari gets angry at her for not answering. Temari yells, "What you're going to leave without answering me?"

Eva looks back at her, and says, "You told me not to tell you. So what am I supposed to do Temari?"

She looks at Eva shocked, and says, "I was only joking Eva. You better tell Gaara right away." Eva sighs, and says, "That's what I'm doing."

She finished climbing the stairs and headed down the hall knocking on Gaara's office door walking straight past his guard's none of them wanting to mess with her. Gaara says, "Come on in"

Eva enters his office, and says, "You need new security here your guards stink I walked right passed them."

Gaara chuckled, and said, "Have you looked at yourself you look like you could kill someone." Eva looks at him, and says, "Here this is for you" she handed the paperwork the doctor gave her to Gaara.

Gaara looks at Eva and then reads the paper he smirks, and says, "Now I know who you want to kill, and why. But I still need you for this mission that just came up."

Eva looks at him a little shocked, and says, "But Kazekage what about the baby?"

Gaara chuckles, and says, "It's only for a few weeks you see the Hokage of the leaf village's wife is expecting their first child." Eva looks at him, and asks, "What does that have to do with us?"

Gaara says, "The Hokage is a good friend of mine, and he asked if I could send someone to keep her company until she has the baby. I figure that you would be perfect for the job."

Eva smiles, and says, "I think I can handle that if you can manage to tell your brother about my condition." Gaara chuckles, and says, "Alright it's a deal."

Eva stands up, and says, "Thank you Kazekage, and if I were you I'd still get some new guards that aren't frightened by me!"

Gaara raises an eyebrow, and says, "I'll take that into consideration Eva."

Eva quickly leaves his office and heads home. Once she's there Eva packed for her trip and includes some money knowing full well that she would most likely need to buy some clothes while she's away. Eva makes it to the leaf village with no problems other than having to stop occasionally to rest.

The four weeks fly by very quickly, and she has a great time with the Hokage's wife Hinata. She delivered a healthy baby girl, and Eva was sent home with a big thank you from the Hokage himself. He called Gaara to let him know Eva's job was finished, and that he was sending her home. Gaara was thrilled to know that Eva was coming back home Kankuro had just returned, and was bugging him about her. Gaara hadn't told him about Eva's condition yet he didn't want Kankuro to worry, and quite frankly he wanted her to tell him when she got back.
