Now that Temari was flooded with relief, She decided to take a walk and head to her lovers favorite cloud watching spot. It was only drizzling so she used this as an opportunity to get away from everyone. So as she walked to the hill, she was on a pathway lined with trees which were shaking violently from the heavy wind.

To her, the dark sky was beautiful but it turns out that some people have a different opinion, including Shikamaru. He jumped out the trees, landing closely behind her.

"What are you doing all the way out here"

"Trying to enjoy the rain in peace. How did you find me anyway"

She turned to face him, and she could see the eagerness in his eyes wanting the results. But after his talk with Choji he didn't care what the results would be. As long as they were fine, he knew everything was going to be okay.

"I was heading to the hospital to look for you, when I was randomly called a 'lazy fucking idiot by Sakura. She said she seen you, but wouldn't tell me anything. So I went to your Inn and you weren't there. So there were only a few places you could be and the cloud watching spot was the first place I choose to look."

"Well I'm about to go"

"Are you serious, a huge storm is coming. And-"

"Let me guess, it would be a drag"

"Whatever woman"

"Come on crybaby, I don't want you to start whining"

She grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him back to his apartment and by now the streets were cleared except for the few ninja that were entering and exiting the village for missions. They rushed to the house as soon as they heard thunder and quickly made it before the rain poured.

"We barely made it"

"I'm pretty sure you had missions in storms before"

"Yea, but I'm not on a mission"

She walked over to the window and was mesmerized by all that was going on. The loud thunder with the flashes of lightning made the rain, in her opinion, one of the best sights on Earth.

"Quit complaining, we're out of the rain now but I don't understand why everyone in Konoha tries to avoid it. If it even drizzles in Suna, people start rushing out their homes just to feel it"

"You're tryna make me feel bad now because you like it so much and rarely get to see it, but I'm always complaining"

"You wouldn't be you without the complaining"

"Is that your way of complimenting your boyfriend"

"My boyfriend is lucky he gets compliments"

"Well is your boyfriend getting anything else"

"Like what"

"A gift in nine months"

"If you're asking I'm pregnant, the answer is no"

When she said no, she could see a smile which contained relief but behind it, she could tell he was a little sad. 'Did he want a child, neither of us are ready. Maybe something else is bothering him'

"So it's just me and you. That's great"

"You're lying. What's the problem"

"What if you were pregnant, I would have had to step up even if I weren't prepared. I love you Tem, but I don't think I could successfully raise a child"

"Are you scared"

"Scared that I wouldn't have been a good parent, and probably be a fucked up father"

"You know, I heard you talking to Choji"

"You heard that?"

He began to look at the ground, trying his best to avoid eye contact but Temari grabbed him by his chin and made him look her in the eye.

"Yes I heard that and I want to let you know that you'll be a great father whenever kids do come into the picture. So what if you smoke, personally I wish you'd quit, but I'm pretty sure you'd make sure to keep it away from them and I like that you sulk, your pouting is kinda adorable. And I understand how much you miss your dad and Asuma, it's been 19 years and there hasn't been a day I haven't thought about my mom"

Those seafoam colored eyes were always able to reassure him. He began to chuckle and this music to Temari's ears, his happiness.

"What would I do without you"

"Smoke and sulk according to your words"

"I'll try and lay off the smoking, so you can stop pestering me"

"I'd prefer if you just stop, but I'll take what I can get"

Shikamaru sighed and just put his hands up in defeat as Temari smiled and went to take a shower.

"The door would be unlocked, so take it or leave it"

Shikamaru knew what the right answer was and quickly followed behind Temari. 'I guess there are some perks of having a troublesome woman'

oooooooooo
