"hello everyone, I know you were probably expecting a happy ending but I'm afraid that's just not how the real world works sometimes, its now August which makes it a year and a month since Naruto left and I have yet found a way back to him,"

I pause a moment in my writing to look at my room, a lot of things were packed up in boxes ready to go, but a few things were still thrown around the room here and there,

"since then, my mother told Elli's parents about me having Deidara and Naruto living with us and lets just say they weren't too happy about that, about a month later Elli had moved out to live with her parent's again and I was stuck with Deidara by myself, which wasn't as bad as I thought,

He actually managed to help out and, after much arguing on my part, managed to pick his ass up and get a job, he now works as a demolition expert, yea that's right folks, Deidara now gets paid to blow shit up, hilarious right?"

I take a moment to stretch my arms and crack my fingers, for a second I thought I heard something behind me but its all quiet in my room, no ninja's hiding or anything.

"now that Elli has moved out Deidara mostly goes to visit her at her parent's place and they seem to really like him which is great, meanwhile I have decided to move, this house is just to big for me and Deidara's been mentioning a smaller place to live and for cheaper too which is great,

Me and my mother are no longer on speaking terms since Naruto left, luckily both my younger brothers still talk to me and help me out if I ask them which is great cause I can use all the help,

Deidara plans to move into an apartment for the time being until he saves up to get his own place, no not a townhouse like I have… had… am currently living in until a few days from now, an actual home with a yard and everything, I on the other hand am moving into a floor level apartment place like where my dad use to live when I was little, its basically like a regular apartment building but all the homes are ground level and everyone gets a small yard which seems a lot better since I don't plan to stay there forever, just until I can find a way back to Naruto…"

"Naruto," I sigh as I think about him, I glance at my left forearm and see the tattoo I got to remind myself that he's still waiting for me and to never forget him, then again I also have another reminder of his time here,

"and the moment I see him again I'm gonna tackle him and kiss him until he's completely breathless…"

I pause a moment to read what I just wrote and laugh a little to myself, "geez I need to get laid or something," I laugh at myself again but stop when I hear some whimpering,

"I hear ya I hear ya," I call out before I push myself off my bed and walk over to the little crib set up by the wall, I lean on the edge and look inside and I cant stop the smile from forming on my face,

"hello lexy, have a good nap?" I ask before I carefully reach in and scoop up the now whimpering baby,

His baby,

Alexis Rain Uzumaki, also known as 'lexy', was born April 19th and is the most beautiful baby in the world,

Yea that's right everyone, Naruto knocked me up before he left, pretty cliché right?

I carefully bounce her on my hip to stop her whimpering as I walk over to my desk and grab her half finished bottle from before her nap and easily pop it into her mouth,

"there's a good girl," I tell her as she stares up at me with her beautiful blue eyes, that was the first thing I saw after she was born that she got from Naruto, that and she has very faint birth marks on her cheeks that look a little like whiskers which always makes me giggle a little,

Carefully I sit back on my bed taking notice of her little red fox plushie I named Kyu-chan which Elli gave me at the hospital, I scoop it up and lay it on her tummy as a few strands of her red-ish brown hair falls in her face but she doesn't seem to mind.

"your gonna need a hair cut soon, it just keeps growing and growing," I mutter mostly to myself then blink and remember what I was doing from earlier, carefully I turn myself so that Alexis is laying in my lap holding her bottle and I quickly finish typing on my computer,

"anyways I guess I should finish this up so I can help Deidara finish packing downstairs, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for reading my story and to let everyone know that even though this story is finished, that doesn't mean my adventure is over, not by a long shot."

"Iris! Are you gonna help down here or what hmm?" Deidara shouts from downstairs and I roll my eyes before uploading my last chapter,

"uncle Deidara sure isn't patient huh lexy?" I ask my daughter only to get a blank stare,

"you know you need to work on your conversation skills," I fake scold her and she spit's the bottle out and smiles up at me making me quickly smile back at how cute she is,

'definitely not the end of my adventures,' I think to myself before I make my way downstairs.
