DISCLAIMER: Kishimoto owns Naruto? Are you sure it's not the other way around?


Diapers, wipes, cereals, ramen, vegetables, fruits, meats, and what else…

Naruto looked at the shelf of snacks for Shiki, looking over the prices and seeing which one would be best to get for him. He picked up two boxes and compared the two of them. He lifted one box to his face, assessed it, and then put it down to do the same for the other box. He was utterly concentrated on stocking up on snacks.

Shiki watched his mama look at the boxes and looked all around him when he got bored watching.

While Naruto still was debating about the snacks and getting to a closer decision, Shiki began to start making a fuss in the cart. He thought that maybe Shiki was getting tired from sitting in the cart for so long. But it turned out that Shiki was making a fuss because he saw a familiar face.

And an unfamiliar one.

"Whoa… Shikamaru you have a kid! You didn't tell me that!" Naruto awed over the baby being carried on Shikamaru's back with a baby Bjorn. "I can't believe you kept this from me!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes as Naruto babbled on about keeping big secrets like "this one" before he finally got him to stop talking. "The kid isn't mine Naruto. I have no biological relationship to him. I'm his godfather; I just have him for the day which is why I'm not at work."

Naruto looked down to see that Shikamaru was carrying a basket with only a few things in it. Then he looked at the baby to coo at him. "Awww! You're with your uncle Shikamaru! I'm sure he's so good to you!" Then he looked at Shikamaru to ask him the baby's name.

But before his question could be answered, the both of them caught a whiff of a certain scent that told them that something needed to be changed.

Naruto checked Shikamaru's godson and sniffed him before sniffing Shiki.

As it turned out Shiki was the one needing a change.

"Well we're going to head out and let you do your business. See ya later Naruto." Shikamaru said quickly before leaving them in the aisle. That kid looked ready to cry any second and if one kid started crying then the one on his back did and it would all just cause one big headache for him and that would be troublesome.

Shiki whimpered at how uncomfortable his diaper was and started banging on the handle of the cart. He wanted to let his mama know that he was unhappy.

"Okay, don't worry. I'm going to change your diaper, then we'll go back home and drop off our groceries, and then we can go see Papa!" Naruto said as he put one of the boxes of snack in the cart and rushed to the restrooms in the store.

"And who knows! Maybe if Shikamaru will let me, then you and his godson could be friends!"

Then he stopped in the middle of the aisle.

"I didn't get the baby's name…"

"Aw, he's taking a little nap." Sakura awed at Shiki sleeping in the stroller. She leaned down to gently pat the top of his head and stood straight back up.

"Yeah, he conked out about an hour ago. Hopefully he won't be cranky when he wakes up." Naruto laughed. "So anyway, is Sasuke in?"

Sakura looked at the time on her desk and shook her head. "He actually headed in for a meeting with his brother about ten minutes ago. It shouldn't be long so you could sit yourself down in his office and wait. I'm sure Shiki would like to see his office too and play around it in when he wakes up."

"Thanks Sakura-chan!"

Naruto let himself into his husband's office and gently shut the door behind him. He parked Shiki's stroller by the couch and unbuckled him. He spread out a blanket on the couch and laid Shiki down on it. The couch wasn't too hard or too soft for him to lay on so Naruto deemed it okay.

While waiting for Sasuke to walk in, Naruto just pulled out his phone and started scrolling through his picture library. The majority of his photos for the past few months had all been of Shiki.

About fifteen minutes had passed and Shiki was waking up from his nap.

Naruto folded up the blanket and let Shiki sit down on the floor since it was carpeted. Shiki was still trying to wake up from his nap and at the same time trying to pull himself up using the couch. He was getting better at it every week so Naruto only watched to make sure that he didn't topple over and give him a little support when he needed it.

"Come on Shiki, come on. You can do it!" Naruto encouraged him, giving him a big smile. But when he leaned down to pat his baby's head, Shiki thought that he was going to get picked up so he sat back down and waited to be picked up. "Aww come on! You were doing good! Maybe you need some motivation…"

He rummaged underneath the stroller and pulled out a small box of snacks for babies. He shook the box to get Shiki's attention and then set it on the couch. "Come get the snacks Shiki. Stand up and get it!"

Upon seeing the snacks (and that they weren't getting handed to him), Shiki crawled toward the couch and used his small hands to hold on to it. He began to slowly pull himself up, steadying his two feet beneath him.

Shiki saw the snacks in front of him and tried to reach for them.

"Good job baby! Here you go." Naruto took a small handful of snacks and held out his palm. Shiki took one and put it in his mouth. And then he used his hand to take out the snack in his mouth and use the other one to reach for another.

Naruto closed his palm when he saw Shiki try to take one. "No Shiki," he said firmly, "finish that one first and then you can have another."

Shiki put the snack back in his mouth and tried prying his mama's hand open to get another one. The palm opened and he grabbed another snack.

(/゚Д゚)/

"Am… ma."

"Ma-ma."

"Ammm… ma."

"Come on Shiki, it's ma-ma!"

That was what Sasuke heard when he walked into his office. Naruto sitting on his couch with their son on his lap.

"Hey teme, took ya long enough." Naruto greeted. "Sakura said that you'd be done in a few minutes when I got here but it's been half an hour!"

Sasuke set down some folders and apologized before leaning down to kiss his blonde and pick up Shiki. "So how are you doing Shiki?" he asked.

Shiki smiled and pat Sasuke's tie, something that he had seen Naruto do a lot whenever he was in a suit.

"He looks happy to see you but why don't you hand him off to some people who don't seem him every day?"

Naruto looked past Sasuke to see Itachi and Kakashi also in the room with them. He watched Shiki be handed off to Itachi and he also patted his tie like he did with his papa.

"How's my favorite nephew? You're getting so big Shiki." Itachi cooed to him, having some fond memories of when his baby brother was a baby. He ran his hand through Shiki's hair and chuckled when Shiki shook his head. It was just too cute…

"Hey now, how about some time with his godfather?"

Shiki looked up at Kakashi when he was in his arms. He looked at him strangely; he saw that this person was a man but he had one eye covered and his face as well. He looked at Naruto and said, "Am-ma."

Itachi looked over at Naruto. "What's that he just said? Amma?"

Naruto leaned forward and sighed. "I've been trying to teach him how to say mama but for some reason he keeps saying it like that! I have no idea where he got that from."

Sasuke took Shiki from Kakashi and sat him down on his lap on the couch with Naruto. He pointed to Naruto and asked him, "Who's that Shiki?"

"Am-ma."

"Ma-ma."

"Am-ma."

"Ma… ma."

"Am-"

"Ma."

"… Ma?"

"Ma… ma."

"Mamm…"

Naruto looked down at Shiki and pat the top of his head. "Okay, I guess that's good enough for now. But I still have no idea where he got am-ma from."

"Am-ma? Shiki repeated in question.

Sasuke quickly corrected him. "Mama."

"Mamm…"

Kakashi asked to hold Shiki again and when he was in his arms, took him to look out the view from the window.

"Where's my lunch dobe? I want to eat." Sasuke asked.

"It's in the mini fridge in the corner."

Sasuke looked into the small black fridge and smiled at his favorite sushi in its container. Along with the wasabi and the soy sauce and ginger. He had been looking forward to eating it since Naruto had told him that he would stop by at the restaurant.

"Whoa!"

Naruto immediately stood up from the couch. "Did you hurt my baby?" he shouted.

Kakashi was bent over a little but then straightened himself back up and turned around. Shiki appeared to be fine but now he was trying to slap Kakashi's face for some reason. He waved his free hand nonchalantly and told everyone to calm down. "It's alright, Shiki just got a little curious and pulled down my mask."

And at the moment Shiki was trying to pull it down again. He apparently thought it was really fun and wanted to do it over again. But Kakashi held him at arm's length away.

He looked over at the people in the room and asked, "Could someone take him now? I don't it to happen again."

But neither Naruto, Sasuke or Itachi made a move to get Shiki.

"Guys?"

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders and opened the container of sushi and pulled apart his chopsticks. "Shiki wants to be with his godfather right now. We should let him play."

"Yes, he should get to know his godfather a little bit more." Itachi added.

"Shiki just wants to play." Naruto said with a smile.

So Kakashi was forced to hold Shiki but this time he held him with Shiki's back to his chest. He used one of his arms as a support so that Shiki could sit, his arm acting as a bench for him. But that still didn't stop Shiki from reaching up to grab the mask again.

It looked like a nice picture.

But in reality all three of them felt some jealousy. None of them had ever seen Kakashi's face and the one person who pulled his mask down won't' even remember a few days from now.
