Chapter 54: First Kiss

"Shikamaru" Temari mumbled laying in bed beside her slumbering husband. "Shikamaru…" She mumbled again, this time shaking him slightly. When she got no response, the pregnant blonde became slightly annoyed, and, instead of shaking him, she began slapping him, "Shikamaru…wake up!" She was no longer mumbling, Temari was now shouting at her lazy man.

Fearing the worst, Shikamaru shot up in their bed, "What is it?! Are you okay?!" he asked, half asleep, franticly looking around the dark room.

"I'm hungry." Temari answered. As Shikamaru looked at her, she batted her emerald green eyes at him. "Get me something to eat…please."

Shikamaru sighed, laying back down, closing his eyes, "Then get…food troublesome…troublesome woman." He yawned as he began to fall back asleep.

Temari growled slightly, "I cant." She answered. When Shikamaru didn't answer, she smacked him in the back of the head, "G-Get up Now!" She shouted.

Sitting up, once again, Shikamaru was about to say some smart ass remark, but his tone quickly changed when he saw the look on Temari's face, "What's wrong Temari?" he asked, now sounding worried for his pregnant wife.

Temari said nothing, shaking her head, slouching over placing her hands on her stomach. Finally she spoke, "D-Doctor! Call the…the doctor!" She cried in pain. Not even hesitating, Shikamaru jumped out of bed, and rushed to the phone. Since Sakura was Temari's doctor, Shikamaru decided he'd call her.

"H-Hello?" an extremely tired males voice muffled answering the phone.

"Naruto, I need to talk to Sakura NOW!" Shikamaru demanded.

"What the-Shikamaru do you…you know what time it…is? It's 5:30 in the damn morning…Go back-"

"Get Sakura on the damn phone! Temari needs her help!" Shikamaru interrupted, not wanting to hear Naruto go on about how tired he was.

There was a few staggering sounds, a loud smack, a few 'colorful' words, then Shikamaru could hear the phone being picked back up, "If you wake Kimiko, I'll punch you so damn hard that she'll be your ONLY child!" Sakura threatened Naruto, then finally placed the phone to her ear, "Gomen Shikamaru, what's wrong?" She asked in her normal chipper tone.

"Temari's getting stomach cramps. She needs you to get here now." Shikamaru explained, giving the pink-haired doctor the cliff notes version.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." With that said, the two hung up the phone and Shikamaru walked back to the room where Temari was still in pain.

He sat beside Temari, placing his hand on her back, trying to calm her down slightly, " Sakura said she'd be here as soon as she could. Try to relax a little."

Temari looked at Shikamaru, daggers in her eyes, "Sh-Shikamaru, I'm…onl--HOLY SHIT THIS HURTS LIKE HELL!" She cried in pain.

Temari's last scream woke Emiko and Daichi-surprisingly Suki was able to sleep though the shouting-whom both hurried to their parents room. "What's wrong?" Emiko asked, rushing to her mothers side.

"your mother will be fine, now-" He was interrupted by the sound of knocking at the front door. "Please go get that, then go back to bed."

Emiko nodded, then ran to the door and opened it. "Sakura-Sensei?" putting two and two together, Emiko realized why the medic was here, but what she didn't understand was why a very tired Yukio was standing beside her. Shaking her head, she moved to the side allowing the two into her house, "Mom's in the-"

"AHHH!!" They all heard Temari screaming from her room. Sakura nodded, then ran back to the Jonin's room. Leaving Emiko and Yukio alone in the main room.

The tired-yet worried- Nara looked at her friend, "Why are you here?" She asked, not trying to sound rude, which was extremely hard being it only 6:00 in the morning.

"I…I'm suppose to help Sakura-Sensei" He answered in a very tired tone.

"Then…aren't you going back there?" She asked.

Yukio shook his head, "If I go back there, I'll only get in the way. Making your mom more stressed than she is now. Which isn't good for the babies."


Back in the room. Sakura demanded that Daichi leave the room. Once the blonde haired Nara was gone, the medic began examining her friend. After a long few house, Temari was finally calmed down, and sleeping peacefully.

Shikamaru looked from Temari to Sakura, "What happened? Is she okay?" He asked, obviously worried for his wife and unborn child.

Sakura nodded, "Temari is fine now. What happened is extremely common. Its called, 'premature labor'. Many pregnant women experience it." She smiled slightly, "Rest assure Shikamaru, both Temari and your babies will be fine." She then began cleaning the few tools she brought with her, and stood. "If there is any more problems, don't be afraid to call."

Shikamaru nodded, then froze for a minute. Due to the lack of sleep, it took the genius a while to process what Sakura had said, his eyes widened, "W-Wait…you said 'babies'…right?" She nodded, "As in more than one?" Sakura giggled slightly, then nodded again, "How would you know what? You don't have the equipment to see that kind of thing."

"True" Sakura said, putting the last of her things away.

"Then HOW do you know that Temari's having more than…one?" he asked, a very confused look on his tired face.


Emiko sat on the couch, Daichi laying on her asleep, and Yukio sitting beside her, "Do...Do you think she's okay?" Emiko asked, looking at Yukio a worried look on her face. It wasn't a secret how close Emiko and Temari was. So it was only logical that she couldn't go back to sleep without knowing what was causing her mother so much pain.

Yukio placed a hand on Emiko's shoulder, "I'm sure she's okay. If something was really wrong don't you think your dad would of come out her and told you." He pointed out. The Inuzuka teen didn't like seeing the girl that was always been strong in his eyes, sad like this.

"Yukio.." Emiko looked down at her sleeping little brother, "Why? Why'd you want to become a medical Nin?" she asked, still worried about her mother, but knew that Yukio wouldn't be able to answer her questions.

"Because I didn't want you to get hurt anymore." Yukio thought out loud.

Emiko looked up from her brother, looking at her friend in complete shock, "Excuse me?"

Yukio then realized that he had just spoke his thoughts. Meaning Emiko, the one person he had a crush on, heard what he said. Turning a new shade of red, Yukio looked away from Emiko, poking his index fingers together, "I uh…I mean you, Suki, Aiko, and Kimiko. I don't…don't w-want to s-see any-any of my fr-friends to get h-hurt anymore."

That was when he heard it. He heard Emiko giggle slightly. Yukio looked at the giggling girl, even though he was confused, he was happy to see Emiko laugh. It had been a while since the teen had even smiled at him, "Thank you Yukio. I…I really needed that." She smiled.

Yukio raised an eyebrow, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything." He asked her.

"For being here…talking to me. Being a great friend to me." She thanked him.

The words stung Yukio like a Kunai to the chest. "Yea…friends." he looked at Emiko, "Hey Em…d-do you think…w-well i-is there so-someone y-you like?" he asked, mentally slapping himself for stuttering so much.

"Kinda." She answered, "What about you?" She asked, now wondering why he had asked such a question, and why he was stuttering so much. Yukio nodded, blushing even more, "Who?" she asked, "Do I know her?"

He nodded again, then looked Emiko in the eyes. Taking everything he had, he leaned closer to Emiko, "You…You k-know her." he stuttered. Before she could say anything else, Yukio took the dive and their lips touched, allowing the two teens to share their first kiss.


Sakura smiled at Shikamaru, "She has had other appointments Shikamaru. Its been a fact for a while now. You and Temari are going to have twins. Congratulations."

Shikamaru stood there, completely shocked. Was he ready for another set of twins, he remembered how hard it was to take care of Emiko and Suki when they were babies…they hardly got any sleep, and changing dippers was a total drag. He looked back at Temari, whom was still sleeping, "Twins huh…." He said to himself.

"yes, twins." Sakura walked to the bedroom door, then opened it. "I'll see you later on. Make sure and let Temari rest, and try to keep her stress level down." She then walked out into the main room. Shikamaru following behind her.

Both adults stopped in their tracks when they saw Emiko and Yukio sitting on the couch, blushing ever so slightly at each other. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "What's going on in here?" he asked, causing the two of them to jump slightly.

Emiko looked at her father, "H-How's mom? Is she okay?"

Shikamaru nodded, "She's fine."

Emiko let out a sigh of relief. Looked at Yukio to thank him again, but quickly looked away blushing again. Causing the two adults to look a little more confused.

"Yukio, we need to get going." Sakura said, walking to the door, "and next time you want to come and help, make sure you actually help. Alright." Yukio stood and nodded. Then the two left the house.

Shikamaru sat down beside his daughter, "Alright, what happened?" he asked.

"N-Nothing.." Emiko shook Daichi slightly, "Hey…g-get up, I'm tired." with that said, Daichi began to wake up, and Emiko quickly walked back to her room, laying back in her bed.

Shikamaru looked at Daichi, "Do you know what happened?" Daichi looked at his father with a very sly smile on his face and nodded and began telling Shikamaru what happened between Emiko and Yukio.

-End of chappy…I know its short, but hell I was lucky to even come up with this. I am sorry to say, but I think that I'm running out of ideas for this story. I have no idea what I want to happen now.
