Temari didn't rush to get to Konoha, in fact she hadn't told Shikamaru she was on her way. Aunt Flo still hadn't arrived and she was now at the gates. She checked in with Izumo and Kotetsu and began heading towards the Hokage's tower. She tried her best to avoid Shikamaru because she certainly couldn't walk up to him and simply say 'Hey Shika, we might become parents, SURPRISE!'

The walk to the tower felt longer than ever, luckily Shikamaru wasn't there. Kakashi said that Sakura was in need for some ingredients for medicine so he was busy gathering antlers. Kakashi knew something was wrong, but allowed her to leave after she handed him the papers for the exams.

Instead of going to Shikamaru's house, she checked in at the inn. There was a room always reserved for the Kazekage because of how frequently he travelled. To get her mind off everything she decided to take a long hot bath to get her mind off everything, but that didn't help so now she was on the couch watching TV.

'Maybe I should go talk to Sakura, but I might run into Shikamaru bringing her the antlers. It's already late, let me just sleep on it'

As she was about go to sleep, she heard a knock on the door, She didn't tell anyone that she was staying here.

She opened the door and seen Shikamaru standing there, soaking wet. 'I'm so unfocused that I couldn't even recognize his chakra'

She continued to stare at him. He had obviously planned to come over here because he packed a pair of clothes in a plastic bag so they wouldn't get wet.

"Why didn't you send me a letter or tell me that you were here"

"How did you find out"

"Izumo and Kotetsu asked me why I didn't meet you at the gates and I didn't even know you were here"

"I was just stressed about something"

"And you couldn't tell me because?"

"Because I didn't feel like it Nara, God I didn't even want you here"

"That's fine Temari, if you want to continue acting pissy go ahead. I dropped everything I was doing to come make sure you were okay but obviously you rather sit by yourself"

Shikamaru wasn't going to leave because he knew that something was off with her and he loved her too much to just walk away. And she couldn't even remember the last time he called her Temari. She knew he was worried but she speechless at this moment and the only thing she could bring herself to do was bury her self in his chest. In return he tightly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. Tears never left her eyes, but they were pretty close. The smell of grass, mint and rain that lingered on his clothes helped her calm down.

They stayed this way for a while, before she pulled away. "You should go change"

"Not before you tell me what's wrong"

She gently caressed he cheek letting her know that everything was going to be okay, and he grabbed and kissed her hand in return to show that he understood.

He quickly changed his clothes and returned to find her sitting on the couch. He laid his head in her lap, ready to find out what the problem was.

"So what's wrong troublesome"

"I have some news concerning us"

"Us-"

"Yea"

"Does it have to do with the exams"

"No"

"So what is it"

"We um-"

"Tem you know you can tell me anything"

"We might become parents"

"You mean after we get married, I didn't want to rush things. I was hoping we could eventually get married"

"No, within nine months, I might be pregnant"

The word might gave him some hope, he loved this woman to death, but children was out of the picture at least until they were married.

"Why do you say that"

"My period is five days late"

"Has it ever been that late"

"No, that's why I'm freaking out"

"Well were in this together"

"Is that all you have to say"

"It's a kid, I planned for a troublesome Kunoichi and two clones in my future. It was bound to happen anyway"

He smiled at her and it always had an effect on her which made her fall in love all over again with him. She knew he was just trying to make her feel better and it was working. She just smiled and began playing with his hair.

"What do you mean clones"

"I mean a girl that looks exactly like you, and a boy that resembles me"

They sat in silence for sometime before Shikamaru began to speak again.

"I guess we'll find out tomorrow"

"Yea, I'll talk with Sakura"

"We could probably call Ino to get it over with tonight"

"I love Ino to death, but she is the biggest gossip in Konoha. News about the Hokage's advisor and the Kazekage's sister would be spreaded throughout Konoha"

"You're right, but let's just try and get some sleep troublesome"

"Whatever crybaby"

They quickly fell asleep on the couch, in each other arms not worrying about tomorrow.

oooooooooo
