A few days later, Hitomi and the baby were able to go home. As Hitomi walked in the door, she was surprised to see Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Temari, and Kankuro.

"SUPRISE!" Naruto yelled.

"Welcome home!" Temari exclaimed.

"I got baby toys!" said Kankuro.

"How are you feeling?" Sasuke asked.

"How's the baby?" Sakura asked.

"Whoa, umm, oh my gosh, thank you, that's great, I'm fine, and she's doing well. She fell asleep on the way here." Hitomi said.

"Aww, so it's a little girl!" Sakura said.

"Ohh, she's so cute!" Temari said.

"What's her name?" Sasuke asked.

"Takara. Sabaku no Takara," Hitomi answered.

"Hey Takara! Jeez you're cute!" Naruto said.

Takara slowly opened her eyes as she awoke from her nap.

"Move over Naruto! Aunt Temari's gotta hold her new niece!" Temari said.

"Heyy, what about Uncle Kankuro?" Kankuro asked.

"I thought you didn't like kids," Gaara said.

"Yeah," Kankuro said, "but this is different. I gotta make an exception for my bro's kid!"

"Hey, she's my niece too!" Sasuke said.

"What about us?" Naruto and Sakura asked.

"You can be honorary Aunts and Uncles too," Gaara said.

"YES!"

Hitomi sat down in a chair to rest as the others fussed over Takara.

"Tell you what, Takara. When your older, you're Aunt Temari's gonna take you shopping all the time!" Temari said.

"Yeah! And Uncle Naruto's gonna take you to ramen!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Do you think she'll have the Sharingan?" Sasuke wondered.

"You're gonna be so pretty when you get older!" Sakura said.

"Look Takara! Look what Uncle Kankuro brought you! A puppet toy!" Kankuro exclaimed.

"That better not have weapons in it!" Temari threatened.

"It doesn't . . . yet . . ."

"KANKURO!"

As Hitomi watched she smiled and sighed. She felt someone's hands rubbing her shoulders. She turned her head to see Gaara standing behind her.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yeah. I'm just so happy to see all our family together like this."

"Hn. I am too."

"I Love You Gaara-kun"

"I Love You too Hitomi-chan."
