Gaara and Ino had been married for a month now. To the amusement of many Gaara had taken Ino's second name choosing it to replace his second one, rather than her losing hers and ending the yamaka line
They were both currently sat in the hearing hall of the Kazekage tower. Once a week Gaara heard complaints where anyone could come. Ino hid a yawn behind a fan Temari had given her.
"How much longer?" she whispered
"Two hours till we finish here," He whispered back hardly moving his lips. "Your request is granted" he spoke to an old woman who wished a loan to buy a loom to make and sell robes "see my advisor" she smiled as she left
Ino suddenly sat up and smiled Gaara secretly groaned as he saw the chief merchant stalk into the room, but Ino seemed to get on well with him, and the complaints the man had given were lessened when she was there.
"Master Gaara! Mistress Ino!" he boomed, "May I say you look healthier every day! Any news on the birth?" Ino flushed slightly from the question and looked to Gaara
"Chattina?"
"Ah yes! I wanted to let you know that some of your friends came in on my wagons…"
"Gaara" Ino looked scared suddenly staring hard at the merchant
"Ino? What's wrong?" Gaara saw no signs of danger
Ino turned white, gripping the arms of her chair gave a little whimper "Get Sakura…. please"
"YOU! Get Rock-san!" the unfortunate messenger was thrust out of the room by a wall of sand. "Everyone, the hearing is dismissed, please forgive me" Gaara shouted no one moved, Gaara and Chattina shared a look as Ino cried out in pain. Gaara ran to her whilst Chattina bellowed "YOU HEARD HIM, MOVE YOUR BEHINDS OR FEEL THE WRATH OF MY WHIP!" For emphasis the trade master uncoiled his whip and snapped it at lingerers.
Suddenly Sakura, Lee, Naruto and Hinata burst through the side entrance, Gaara was pushed to one side as Sakura placed her hand on Ino's head.
She gasped "It hurts 'Kura!"
"I know…Hinata, reckon you can block the pain so we can walk?"
The Hyuuga pressed an area on Ino's stomach but then shook her head "The contractions will not allow it".
"Okay" the pink haired healer, asked her friend, wiping the sweat from her brow, "we need to get you to the hospital fast whoa!" They felt themselves lifted up as the sand churned into a platform. Gaara was knelt hands in the sand checking everything was alright, he sped to the hospital his eyes never leaving Ino's
As they reached the maternity ward Sakura snapped at the nurses, having already been prepped they held open doors. Ino had gone even paler now, clenching hands and teeth in an effort not to cry out. She almost sighed as she felt herself being placed on the birthing table.
"Gaara you cant stay" Was the first thing Sakura said as she tied her hair up and began washing her hands, in the background Hinata injected Sakura with painkillers.
"What? You can't make me leave!"
"Gaara?" Ino said
"Yes?" he came closer as he did Ino grabbed the front of his robes and yanked him down to her eye level
"I am going to KILL you when this child is out of me"
"Huh?" He was utterly confused
"Meanwhile let Sakura do her job!" Ino grinned weakly and kissed him before releasing the poor man into Sakura's arms. The woman promptly shoved him into the corridor where Lee and Naruto awaited.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pain-wracked scream came from behind the door and Naruto was only just quick enough to stop Gaara running in. It ended in a choked sob.
They could hear Sakura's quiet murmuring as well as Hinata's.
Gaara put his head down, only to jerk it back up when a low groan sounded out.
Naruto and Lee exchanged looks "Gaara?"
"She's been in there for three hours…." he said through gritted teeth
"She'll be alright"
Gaara shook his head tears forming at the corners of his eyes
"He's worried she won't make it" Temari entered the small room with Kankuro. They sat beside Gaara and he allowed Temari to hug him.
"What?" Lee asked
"Our mother died in childbirth…." Kankuro said his comment cut off by another scream it ended in a heart-wrenching moan. There were hurriedly exchanged whispers. This time Kankuro and Temari held Gaara down.
"I want to be with her," he hissed
"No…. Gaara this is better…. what if you lost control and accidentally hurt Sakura or Hinata? Who would help Ino then?" Temari acted as the voice or reason
Gaara gave her a hurt look; she had used the only argument against him entering the room.
"INO" they heard Sakura yell
"I however can" Temari said as she slipped past Naruto into the room.
Gaara craned his neck to see around the closing door, there was a lot of blood, its scent heavy in the air.
Temari back wheeled out of the room so fast that it appeared Sakura had thrown her. There was a bloody handprint on her shirt.
The room stared at it.
A quiet wail rent the air. The sound of a baby.
There was quiet around that sound and after a few agonising minutes the door opened and Sakura walked out, holding in her arms a tiny baby.
"Gaara?" she asked
He came forward, eyes alternating between Sakura's bloodstained appearance and the child.
"It's a girl…." Sakura said, "Ino said…Misa…"
"She's beautiful…. Misa, beautiful sand…Ino?"
"Hinata is just cleaning her up…she's fine" Gaara's relieved smile made everyone in the room relax. Kankuro and Temari were introduced to their niece
