Sincerely wishing you all well,

Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius

Akina was a selfish person. Even though her baby sister would deny this vehemently, she was, in fact, a self centered bitch. No point in denying that. She was first in her world and she had always believed that would never change.

Until she got knocked up, that is. With that tiny little life form growing inside of her, Akina began to realize that she was no longer the number one person in her life anymore.

Her baby was going to be.

So as Akina sat in the car with the father of her child, she kept a protective hand on her belly and thought only of the cute onesies she had spotted at the mall yesterday, and not the lace panties. Ino, Mahiru's cousin who went shopping with them, had teased Akina when she didn't even check the price tag before buying them. After all, she was well known for her penny-pinching tendencies. It was one of the reason's she was her Grandma Lin's favorite grandchild.

"And then father…" Gaara was telling Akina about the latest bits of political news he knew about. Even thought Akina would someday inherit the Uchiha family, she could really care less about the politicians in the world. After all, with the world both inside her home and out of it, undergoing drastic transformations, she needed to focus solely on her unborn child. A healthy baby was well worth the sacrifice of her political reputation.

That and she still felt that politics were extremely boring.

The two were on there way to find out what Akina's unborn child would be. All of her wellness checks had gone smoothly and the little one was right on tract as it should be. Her family was anxiously awaiting the gender so a baby shower could be thrown. Akina, personally, couldn't wait to find out the gender.

Perhaps knowing it would allow her to put some ease to some troubling thoughts that had been swirling in her head since the pregnancy was discovered.

They pulled up to the office and left the car, the two teens reaching for one another's hands. Akina bit back a smile as she felt Gaara's pulse thrumming rapidly in her's. They had discussed their own anxieties about the upcoming birth with each other and their parents. While Akina's were quickly smoothed, her quiet boyfriend's had not. He was still very nervous about becoming a father, and his pessimistic thoughts would not allow him to think that the baby was healthy unless he was told so.

"Ready?" Akina asked Gaara, rubbing at her belly. Gaara nodded, his hand squeezing her's.

"Yes." He said. Yawning softly, Akina led him inside.

"And that is where the male part of the anatomy should be." The doctor explained, pointing out the spot one the screen."So a little girl?" Akina asked, grinning. Her boyfriend squeezed her hand, pride flaring in him as he look at his future daughter.

Both were hoping the child looked like them, though for drastically different reasons.

"I bet she's beautiful." Akina murmured happily, stroking her stomach. Gaara nodded, kissing her forehead.

"I'm sure as well."

"Would you like a picture?" The doctor asked. Both teens nodded, sharing a smile.

"Yes we would." Gaara answered, helping Akina to sit up. The teen then passed her a towelet to wipe some of the goo off of her belly.

"Our families are going to be so excited." Akina said as she hopped down from the table. The doctor left the room to give Akina privacy to dress and to retrieve the picture. Gaara nodded.

"Temari was hoping for a girl. I'm assuming that your sister and mother were as well?" Gaara asked. Akina nodded, standing next to him as they waited for the doctor to return.

"Yes, and so does Itachi, he confessed to Kida." Akina said, smiling at him when his arm slid around her shoulders. The doctor walked in, smiling at them.

"Here is the picture you requested. We'll call you to schedule your next appointment." He informed them.

"Thank you for your time." Gaara said as Akina took the picture. Her expression softened as she looked at her unborn daughter.

"Can't wait to meet you." She whispered as she rubbed her stomach. Gaara chuckled, kissing her cheek.

"Agreed."

"To my niece!" Kida giggled, raising a glass of Lemonade. Her siblings followed suit, toasting to Akina's unborn baby. The five siblings and Ginkai were having dinner that night when Akina told them about the gender.

"Thanks guys." Akina said sincerely, rubbing her belly. Her little girl had been very active by Akina's relief from the day.

All little girls in her family looked like their mothers, after all.

"No prob, Kina. Now Ki can finally quit talking about your baby shower and just throw one already." Oten said with a roll of his eyes. Kida glared.

"Oh shush!" KIda snapped. Akina chuckled as the two began to argue about it, looking over at her twin brother. Sasuke smiled slightly, grabbing her hand under the table.

He too was relieved by the gender of the baby. His relief helped to push away Akina's doubts and both twins were looking forward to a brighter future.

"So, what will you call her?" Ginkai asked from his spot beside his quiet father. Akina shook her head as she sipped on her glass of water.

"No idea. Now that we know a gender, it will be easier to decide on names. DO you have any suggestions?" She teased, delighted when his young face filled with colors. He quickly shook his head, returning to his meal. Chuckling quietly, Akina did so as her twin siblings continued to squabble, Akina felt happier than she had in a long time. With her baby's future secured, and Sasuke's hand giving her support, Akina felt she could take on anything.

She sincerely believed that too.

"So we're really going to marry?" Mahiru whispered to Mitsuru as they cuddled on her couch. Mitsuru nodded, rubbing at her stomach. It was surreal to him as well. They had yet to tell their families, but Mitsuru expected to not surprise his. After all, both his mother and his father had been hinting towards a commitment stronger than dating. He also felt that both families would approve of the choice.

"Yes. I love you, Mahiru. You and this baby. Why wouldn't we?" He asked, kissing her cheek. She blushed, looking away.

"No reason, really. I was just wondering." She said, a shy grin stretching onto her face. Mitsuru bit back a chuckle as he hid his smirk in her shoulder. She cuddled closer, sighing happily.

Saiyuri had gone out for the evening with Maho, leaving the two teens to watch after Mahiru's three brothers. All were sleeping now, letting the teens have this private moment.

Mitsuru was grateful for it. He and Mahiru had been together for a long time, and ever since the birth of her brother Mello, life had been a constantly busy time. It was time for them to finally settle down.

"Mits?" Mahiru asked quietly as she fingered the simple silver hoops in his ears.

"Yes?" He asked, kissing her nose, making her blush renew itself. Looking away, Mahiru grinned.

"Love you." She whispered. Mitsuru's smirk stretched into a grin and he pressed a kiss to her lips.

He really, truly, loved this woman. He really did.

A/N: And just like that, the Captin's little niece has been revealed and Mits and Mahiru are engaged. Oh but next chapter won't be as fun. Just saying.
