Part 1
Temari woke up by the sound of the birds chirping in the distance, her lids slowly fluttering open revealing her teal blue eyes that immediately found the bedside clock she had, reaching for it with still sleepy eyes she read the time. Six Thirty A.M. Nice. Waking up just like any other day, or maybe a little later than usual since it is Sunday. She looked up at the slow dancing of the curtain, a few specks of light illuminating the darkened room coming from the rising sun peeking every now and then, probably because of the slightly open window she left open the night before.
She looked down at the strong arm that was wrapped around her waist possessively and slowly shifted herself to her left, where her husband, Shikamaru Nara was. His disheveled hair came into her sight, brushing them up so see his sleeping face, noticing the bags under his eyes from working too much the last night. Shikamaru came home late the night before, almost two in the morning, whereas her son came earlier at one a.m. who can from a mission. Like father, like son. She thought sighing, and a little annoyed by the fact that she ate dinner alone last night.
She kissed his cheek before getting up, making sure she won't accidentally wake him up. Although he is kind of a heavy sleeper, she still made sure she moved with no sound. Tying her hair into a ponytail and grabbing her robe to cover her short and thin nightdress. She would need to prepare their breakfast and clean up a little before going out for a small lunch with the other kunoichi's.
After cooking, and cleaning up, which actually took longer than she had expected, both of her boys were still fast asleep when Temari was all ready for her lunch with Ino, Hinata, Sakura, Tenten, and Karui. She didn't bother to wake them up anymore knowing that they went home late from working and mission and Sunday is their family's lazy day.
The ladies were already sitting at their preferred table at a diner they always liked to have lunch dates with.
"Oh, Temari-san is here." Of course, it was Hinata who noticed her first. Her soft voice made the others stop talking and turn their heads to her direction, and a series of Hi's and Hello's came next before she was able to settle down beside Ino's right side. Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten were in front of her while she and Karui were at either side of Ino.
The food was served fast, as usual, it was delicious. They had catch-up on the latest gossips (thanks to Ino), and talked about the new medicines being processed (as headed by Sakura), talked about the progress of the villages alliance (as shared by Hinata), the best weapons (by Tenten) and of course her missions with Karui, in and outside the Village. It took them a good three hours just talking and gossiping about anything their topic landed.
She noticed Sakura kicked Ino's foot and the blonde immediately clapped her hands. This made Temari arch her brows at the two, Hinata and Tenten just smile at her in response.
"What is it?" she asked the weapon mistress.
"What's what?" Tenten retorted innocently. I should have asked Hinata instead of Tenten. She thought, looking at the Uzumaki but Sakura was quick to get her attention and clapped happily and as if on cue all five kunoichis simultaneously screamed "Happy Birthday, Temari!". Alright, not all since Hinata doesn't really scream but still.
The Nara woman's eyes widened in surprise. "It's my birthday?" she asked dumbly.
"See? I told you, Tem forgot it's her birthday!" Karui smirked, holding her cake, and placing it on their table.
"I can't believe you forgot about your own Birthday!" Sakura says, shaking her head.
"You were probably too preoccupied with missions the past days, huh?" Ino inquired.
Frankly, she didn't even realize that it was already her birthday, or her natal day has been nearing. All she was thinking about was taking care of her family, ensuring that they had the most nutritious breakfast they can have, and support them during work and mission, and another thing making her preoccupied is her own missions. Being a Jonin, an ambassador and a mother isn't an easy task, she's juggling her life through her responsibilities, hoping that she is making them proud and secured.
"Well, I guess I was too busy for this month to even bother thinking of birthdays." She shrugged and sliced her cake, sharing it with the other ladies.
"You must have been thinking of Shikamaru, huh?" Tenten teased.
"Oh right! Hahaha! She is preoccupied with Shikamaru!" Ino chirped nudging her. The teasing made her scowl despite her growing blush.
"No, I'm not!"
"Must be nice to have your husband every night to cuddle you." Sakura sighed and Karui laughed.
"Oh please–" she rolled her eyes. "He isn't always at home, ask Hinata. The advisor to the Hokage has less sleep than you think." Popping a forkful of cake in her mouth. "Aside from that when he's home, that pineapple head is always asleep." She complained. "I left the house both of my boys are still asleep."
Their conversations went on about their husbands and kids, with Tenten casually saying that it sounded quite a big responsibility and she would rather keep her single status as is. That is if she won't fall in love again.
Their supposed to be lunch ended up at four in the afternoon, but instead of going home right away, Temari decided to quickly stop by the market to buy a few ingredients for a not so fancy dinner for her family to celebrate her birthday. Although, it seems that even Shikamaru and Shikadai forgot about my birthday too. Temari feels down at them forgetting about her day, it was petty, she knows that, but she couldn't help it. It has been weeks since they all had dinner together that isn't rushed, and she missed Shikamaru too, no matter how annoying he can be or waking up beside him, she still missed him and their alone time together. Get a grip of yourself, Temari. She chastised herself of what she was thinking. She should be thankful her husband can still go home every other night.
A buzz made her stop in her tracks, holding the ingredients she had on her right hand, she reached into her pocket to reveal her mobile phone, a new way of communication they have for the past ten years. Her brows knitted reading that it was 'Kazekage Gaara' calling her.
"Gaara? Is something the matter?" She called his name, not even bothering to say hello and started walking her way home again.
"Wow, nice greeting there Tem!" said Kankuro on the other line.
This made her roll her eyes despite the small smile on her lips. She heard a bit of shifting movements in the background almost as if there was a fighting. "Kankuro? Are you still–"
"Good Afternoon, Temari. I hope we are not bothering you on your birthday." Of course, it was Gaara.
"No, no. It is fine. I am still on my way home." She answered. "Are you two okay? I heard noises, is something the matter?" She asked, now a bit worried about her younger brothers. Although they are a Kage and Jonin, her big sister instincts just naturally kicked in.
"No, it's not that Temari. Everything is fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, we just called to greet you a happy birthday." Temari smiled widely knowing his reason, she can also hear Kankuro in the background saying 'Yes, Happy Birthday Big Sis.'
This made her smile genuinely, happy to have heard them on her birthday. "Thank you, you two."
She was able to talk a little bit to both of her brothers, but of course, she and Kankuro ended up bickering who is more annoying for Gaara. Obviously, it was Kankuro. She was only always concerned for Gaara and Kankuro is annoying for her. She hung up after turning the block to their home. The sun had already started setting, the time is at five o'clock in the afternoon, the light posts started illuminating the streets. She now only has an hour and thirty minutes to cook dinner for her birthday, adding her son and husbands' favorite dishes on the menu so they all can enjoy her birthday even for a short while. She just hopes that they are not yet too hungry to make her cook faster. But I can always blow them outside with my fan. She giggled at her thoughts and opened the door to their home, noticing that it was dark and quiet.
"I am home!" she called out, taking off her sandals and walking along the hallway to their kitchen, turning on the lights along with her steps. "Honey? Shikadai?" called out again. Hmm. Maybe those two fell asleep again. Great, now that gives me more time to cook for dinner.
She turned to the kitchen area, flipping on the lights she was greeted by a pop of balloon.
"GODDA–" She yelled in surprise. The Nara father and son duo laughed hysterically from her reaction. "What were you two thinking?!" she scolded them, relieved that she didn't have her fan with her or else their kitchen might be blown off already. She was about to say more when she noticed their outfits. The two were wearing matching green aprons and the dining table was set with fancy dinner and a banner hanging at the side of the wall with a carefully lettered 'Happy Birthday, Mom!' by Shikadai.
She stood rooted in place, mouth half-open from yelling earlier and from the surprise, eyes wide with her teal orbs scanning their grinning faces and the food that was served on the table, a set of seafood and meat was present. Slowly she walked to them closer, feeling her heartbeat in joy and her steps quickening to tackle both of her boys, a tear escaped from her eye as she buried her face on her husbands' neck.
"I thought you two forgot." She says, delights evident on her face as she faced both of them.
"How can I forget when dad has been reminding me almo–" Shikadai didn't get to finish what he was about to say when Shikamaru covered his lips, smiling suspiciously.
"Ahehe. It's normal for us to remember your birthday, Honey." He says, patting their sons' head lightly.
Temari just shrugged their actions, her attention focused on the food on the table.
"Did you both prepared the food?" she asked amazed. Her own bag of ingredients was left by the kitchen counter before she tackled them.
"We did, yes. You were basically gone the whole day." Shikamaru answered her, sliding a chair for her. "Come on, princess. Sit here so we can start your birthday dinner."
Temari blushed at his endearments, not used to being called princess, she rolled her eyes at him. She even heard her son scoff.
"Dad... can you not? It's such a drag."
"What? It's her birthday and she–"
"Why don't the two of you just sit and join me?!" she asked threateningly which both of them followed, even with calm expressions, she saw them gulped.
The table was served with appetizing dishes, a roasted chicken, grilled scallops, a set boiled seafood consisting of shrimp, crab, and lobster, she also see a mackerel, her husbands' favorite which she had grown to love as well. There are also some Maki and eggs on the side, and a salad. Her eyes switched over from the dished to her husband and son.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" The food was more than what they can eat in one dinner, she knew it was her birthday but having 4 kinds of viands with heavy side dishes is quite a lot.
"Mom, we are hungry." Shikadai deadpanned.
"We hadn't really eaten a full meal at lunch, and we didn't get to eat a snack during the afternoon," Shikamaru said and clasped his hand which she and Shikadai followed soon after and all together they said their grace before meal.
"Hey, I prepared you both food before going out!" She started taking food and gave her son his rice bowl.
"Dad was too–"
"It doesn't matter anymore, if we can't finish this up tonight, then we can have the leftovers for tomorrow morning." Her husband said. "It'll be troublesome if you wake up early again right after your birthday, you should be relaxed." He added, giving her a knowing look.
Temari enjoyed the dishes they prepared for her, although the roasted chicken was too roasted for her liking, she complimented the other seafood as well. She is not going to lie and say that the father and son duo didn't make delicious food because they do, she loved their cooking, and knowing that they prepared it especially for her, it warmed her heart. Shikadai took after Shikamaru almost everything, from his looks, his genius, and more prominently, him being a sleepy head.
Their dinner went on smoothly, the Father and son talking about shogi again, tactics and plans, she also shared that she got a cake from the ladies (which they finished in one sitting) and that her brothers had called to greet her. All these, the two boys just shrugged and smiled at her and that's when she realized, the lunch with the ladies was actually set up for her to go out of the house during a Sunday, and the call from her brothers was a notice for her husband and son about her whereabouts.
Temari mentally facepalmed upon her realization that it was carefully planned out by her own husband. She didn't even notice him work on his plan.
"Don't tell me… that you two were together coming home late last night?" she asked, her brows knitted in suspicion.
As expected, the two glanced at each other and simultaneously scratched their heads. She wanted to scold them more, but it is her birthday and they prepared something for her. Maybe I can scold them tomorrow.
After cleaning up the table from dinner, she had started washing the dishes and drying them up with a towel before placing them on their respective racks. Now with completely dried hands, she noticed her son standing just near her, as if he was waiting for her to finish, Shikamaru was by the dining table, watching them. Shikadai then dragged out of the sink area and handed her twelve-inch rectangular box.
"Mine and Dad's gift for you."
She looked over her husband who was now lighting up his cigarette.
"Open the window, Shikamaru!" she chided, not letting him smoke without opening the windows first and turned again to her son, opening the rectangular box. "A fan?" she opened the fan and checked the design.
Shikadai yawned before nodding, "Yes, I figured that holding your big Tessen might be a drag when going out with aunt Hinata and Sakura, so we made you a smaller one."
"Flick it to the front using a bit of your chakra." Upon hearing that, her son moved to her side and she followed what her husband had said and gasped when five needles landed on the wall. "It's not a great as your normal tessen but you can use that as a regular fan and a weapon."
Her hand baled into fists and scowled at him. "And now there are five holes on the wall!" she exclaimed.
The young Nara sighed and before murmuring 'here they go again', 'what a drag', and 'I'm going to sleep.'
"It's just holes, nothing too big of a problem." He answered, nonchalantly.
His tone just made Temari a bit madder. "What do you mean it's nothing too big of prob–"
Shikamaru puffed a smoke before throwing his cigarette butt on the ashtray and walked towards her. "You literally blew off this kitchen once before."
"AND YOU DARE REMIND–"
She was cut off by his shadow binding, covering her lips to prevent her from yelling, and when she tried to move, she wasn't able to as her husband already paralyzed her with his shadow possession.
"Shikadai is about to sleep and you're going to yell?" he asked a few feet from her. "Let's get you to bed, shall we?"
And with that he walked towards their room with her in tow, imitating his every move.
