So I have been stuck on what to write as for as chapter 3. I didn't want to do too many time skips but I didn't want to add those details of pregnancy. From here on until Kakashi gets back will revolve around this situation first. So there are stories within stories like side missions in games. Ha-ha.

Well Here is the chapter! Enjoy.

A/N: I do not own Naruto. Or One Piece.

Life went on for Ino. It had been months since Ino has seen or heard from Kakashi. It was a just a week ago when Naruto had summoned her to his office to inform her of his departure. Snow started to decorate the streets of Konoha. The winds blew harshly against the visible skin but it felt amazing. Civilians decorated their houses with lanterns to brighten up the night skies. This was Ino's favorite time of the year. Since it was close to Christmas Ino had closed up the flower shop and took a break from the Interrogation unit and from the hospital. She had to take it easy now since she was 2 months pregnant. Yes pregnant.. Ino sighed.

Ino had stepped out the door of her shop and locked it. Finally pleased the winds scratched at her face. Shivering Ino pulled her coat over her belly and tightened the purple scarf around her neck. Now settled she continued her way home. She made footprint along the way and she giggled. As soon as she turned to face forward again she slammed into a hard, muscular chest. Losing her balance she was falling backwards but he grabbed her before she got anywhere near the ground. Regaining her balance and vision she looked up at the man.

"Shikamaru? I'm surprised you're up?" she smirked.

Shikamaru scratched the back of his head as he released her arm.

"Yeah well.. I came to get you.. uh home safely." He was blushing.

Ino couldn't help but smile are the worry wart. Shikamaru finally looked at Ino regardless of the blush that colored his face. His eyes softened for his blonde teammate. Her noticed her blonde hair sticking out of her high ponytail. Thus, reminding him that he had something for her. Shikamaru turned his body to opened his little pouch to pull out a purple knitted hat with a little fluff ball on top. Ino squealed with excitement as she took it from him and put it on her head. As soon as she had it on Ino face lit up with excitement.

"How does it look?" She smiled at him.

"It makes your head look smaller." He smirked.

Ino didn't even take it offensively she just laughed it off. She took a step closer to Shikamaru and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go home."

"You mean let's go to my house."

"Yes that's what I meant idiot."

Shikamaru huffed and put his hands in his pockets.

It had been 2 months since Ino came running to Shikamaru's house in tears. Shikamaru being well… Shikamaru didn't know how to handle her crying… or at all as a matter of fact. It was when she sat on his couch in green t-shirt that he found out she was pregnant and with Kakashi's baby no less. Since then Shikamaru has been by Ino's side as the male figure that was needed. He knew Kakashi had left on an S Rank mission to the village of the sound and wasn't due for another 2 years. He wasn't about to tell the blonde that. Instead he did the unthinkable he took Ino from her solitude and brought her to his house. With her close by he could feel at peace.

Things went smoothly for a while until Sakura caught wind of the Yamanaka heiress staying at his house. It took 4 hours of explaining and many tears for Sakura to finally comprehend the whole situation. It was then Sakura let every emotion she had held in go. Sakura then smiled and hugged the expecting mother. It was the start of new family to Ino.

Within that month Sakura had been checking on Ino constantly. At Ino's very first appointment while Ino sat on the examination table Sakura was explaining every little thing she had to know. Once Sakura heard sniffling she turned to face Ino with a smile and tears rolling down on her face. Everyone knew that she was happy.

-Time Skip-

It is now March. The flowers were in blossom and the air was sweeter. The streets filled with so much laughter. Ino was now 4 ½ months pregnant at her flower shop doing paperwork much to her demise. Everything was going smoothly. Sakura and Tenten finally talked her into hiring people to tend to the gardens and the store when she was away. As much as it was uncomfortable letting people into her world she gave in and warmed up to her new members.

Sakura came to check up on Ino to bring her to her appointment… ordered by Shikamaru of course. As soon as the pinkette stepped into the shop Ino's face brightened like the sun. Oh how she wished she could stay in this mood.

Now at the hospital Ino lied down on her back so Sakura could examine the baby. She had put the blue gel and waited for a couple of minutes. Ino was confused until the shadow user busted through the door panting. He smiled as Sakura signaled him to come in. With everything finally settled they finally got to see the baby.

"Congratulations.. it's a boy"

Ino couldn't help but tear up. It was an exciting moment for her. All Shikamaru could do is hold her hand and help her through it.

-Time Skip-

Before everyone knew Ino was close to her due date. She got everything prepared months before hand. She was no longer living with Shikamaru. She felt lik

e she was invading his space now that the baby was coming but she gave him a key so he can come over whenever he felt like doing so.

The baby's room was decorated beautifully with the help of all of Konoha 11 of course. Then the time finally came.

On July 21, after 5 hours of Labor and Shikamaru's encouragement she finally held the baby that kicked and slept her whole pregnancy.

"Hello Sanji.." Ino cooed "Welcome to the world."

It was a proud day for the village. Ino had an heir to continue on the work the Yamanaka's like she and her father had done. Sanji had a name to live up to. He will surpass the Yamanaka's and the Hatake's.

For just being born he already captured the hearts of many. He was a spitting image of his father. The only difference was his cerulean eyes. Shikamaru took a liking to the kid because he didn't cry. Naruto took the most interest because it was his sensei's blood that ran through Sanji.

When Ino was finally ready to go back to work Naruto was the first to always ask to babysit. It made Ino laugh. Who was she to tell the Hokage no. This was just the beginning to his life. Ino was happy.

Sanji Yamanaka Hatake was here.

Sanji is here! I had to an introduction to his character. Sanji plays a great part in this story. It is a Ino x Kakashi story but Sanji is also a main character. Ha-ha.

Bruh when is Kakashi coming back!

Anywho Review!
