A/N: This one is short, I'll warn you ahead of time, but I'll make up for it with the chapter following this. I promise. And I will also explain why what happened to Rin happened. It doesn't make sense now, just please read, review, and enjoy.


RIN'S P.O.V

I opened my eyes and slowly looked around the room. I knew as soon as I saw the red and gold sheets that I was in Gaara's room. I slowly sat up, but couldn't see Gaara anywhere. The aura within me moved and I smiled as I laid my hand on my stomach.

"You want to see him too don't you?"

I said and the aura moved in response. I smiled before standing up.

'It's strange how I'm not even a day along and yet I can tell how it's feeling. I wonder what the gender will be?'

I thought as I made my way to the bathroom. I showered and quickly changed into a pair of cut off jean shorts with fishnet leggings, and an off the shoulder black halter top.

I headed down the stairs with plans on finding Gaara, but then my stomach growled.

'Seems like someone's hungry.'

I thought as I went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. I decided to make some for the others while I was at it.


GAARA'S P.O.V

"So you see Lord Kazekage, if you were to make an alliance with the other nations then-"

One of the council members said, but I cut him off.

"Have they requested an alliance with us? And even if they have, what would we gain in making an alliance with them? We have far much more to lose than to gain unless the other nations and Suna become closer first."

I said and they all looked at me in shock.

'God, you'd think by now they'd be used to me giving my input.'

I thought as the other council members talked amongst themselves about what I'd just said.

'You would think, but apparently not. I wonder how Rin is fairing? Think we should check up on her?'

Shukaku said and I found myself wanting this meeting to end so I could go back up to my room and check on Rin.

I saw that the council members were still talking about it and saw that they wouldn't come to a conclusion anytime soon.

"Well when you guys come to a conclusion let me know. Until then, don't bother me."

I said and they all nodded. I walked out of the Kazekage office and started to head for my room when I smelled food. Good food. Temari's cooking is alright, and Kankuro will burn anything you put in front of him, but neither one of them could make something that smelled so wonderful.

I wound up following the smell to the kitchen and watched from the doorway as Rin set the table. She looked up at me in surprise.

"Gaara! You just scared the living hell out of me."

She said and I smiled at her before walking further into the kitchen.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"It's fine."

She said and I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers briefly.

"I don't think I've ever smelled anything so delicious."

Temari's voice sounded from the hallway and I pulled away from Rin. I sat down just as Temari and Kankuro walked into the kitchen. The looks on both of their faces was priceless.


RIN'S P.O.V

I couldn't help but smile at the looks on Temari and Kankuro's faces as they walked into the kitchen.

"Well don't just stand there, dig in."

I said and couldn't help but laugh as the two practically fought each other to get to the food I'd made.

I squeezed in between and around them and made two plates. Then I walked over to Gaara and set one down in front of him then the other in front of my seat. I turned around and started for the fridge, but stopped when the aura within me acted up. My hands immediately flew to my stomach.

"Oooh."

I felt suddenly very sick.

"Rin, are you okay?"

Temari asked concerned. Gaara was by my side in an instant.

"What's wrong?"

He asked and I clenched my teeth as the aura acted up again.

"I don't know. The child is acting up."

I said and heard Temari and Kankuro gaps in shock.

"Child?"

Kankuro asked confused.

"Rin, are you-"

Temari asked coming closer to me.

"Ahhh!"

I screamed as pain shot through my body.

"Rin, what's wrong?"

Gaara asked concerned. I saw worry in his eyes and that was all I saw before everything went black.


GAARA'S P.O.V

"Rin!"

Temari and Kankuro both yelled as I caught her.

"Come on, we need to get her to the hospital."

I said and they nodded. We headed for the hospital, but they were swamped with dealing with the Shinobi that had just come back from a mission.

Kankuro yelled for help, but all the medical ninjas were buys.

"What will we do? We need a medical ninja."

Temari said and only one person popped into my mind.

"Come on."

I said before turning and heading for the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
