Tenten helps Aria shower and get dressed while she tells her all the details of what happened. Tenten says ,"I don't know how you're going to manage to train today in your current condition."

Aria replies, "I don't know either but I'm hoping that Shikamaru will help me come up with something."

Tenten helps Aria out to the living room couch she's walking on her own but very slowly and stiff. Aria nudges Shikamaru saying, "Wake up sleepy head or we will be late for training."

Shikamaru grumbles, "Five more minutes' troublesome woman." Aria smirks, and replies, "Ok but if I give you five more minutes you'll have to carry me there."

Shikamaru gets up saying, "Ugh you're so troublesome." Aria then asks Tenten, "Will you cover for me?" Tenten smirks saying, "Yes Aria if anyone asks you slept here last night."

Shikamaru jumps in asking, "Why would you do that for her Tenten?" She replies, "Aria has helped me by covering for me when I needed it." Shikamaru smirks, and says ,"Oh so I guess you owe me Aria."

She reluctantly responds, "Yes I owe you Shikamaru." He smirks saying, "I'll have to think about what I want from you Aria."

She sighs, and says, "I figured you'd say that just let me know what you want when you're ready."

Aria walked to the training grounds with Shikamaru's help and gently sat down to wait for today's training when Asuma arrived. Asuma says to the team, "How about we start today's training with some warm-up exercises."

Choji complains, "Awe I hate warming up and exercising." Ino replies, "You would say that Choji." Aria joins in saying, "I don't want to do them either Ino so leave Choji alone."

Shikamaru complains, "Man this is such a drag." Asuma raises an eyebrow, and asks, "Ok Shikamaru what do you suggest?"

Shikamaru smirks, and says, "How about we have a Shogi tournament?" Asuma replies, "That's a good idea Shikamaru we'll work on our brains today." The team has the tournament, and as usually, Shikamaru wins every game although Aria's game lasted the longest.

~ Fast Forward Three Months ~

Aria and Kakashi had had secret meetings in her bedroom every night he can't seem to go without having Aria sleep next to him. Luckily he hasn't been caught sneaking in, and out of the bedroom window. Aria and Kakashi made love each night he'd come to see her after using a sound proof jujitsu neither of them could help themselves.

Now Aria was scheduled to go on this mission with her team to the land of Mist her team was leaving for six months. They arrived in the land of Mist, and the mission was going well until Aria started to get sick every morning throwing up. Aria snuck off one morning to the local medical clinic disguised as a woman from the mist village she signed into the clinic as Mrs. Hatake. The nurse announced, "Mrs. Hatake the doctor can see you now"

Aria says to her, "Thank you very much" she walked into the room, and sat on the examination table. The doctor asks, "So what seems to be the problem?"

Aria explained, "Well you see…I wake up every morning and throw up. I feel tired all the time, and I've been moody lately." The doctor asks, "Have you, and your husband had sex recently Mrs. Hatake?" Aria blushes, and says, "Yes but we used protection during the first month but I forgot to get more."

The doctor raises an eyebrow, and says, Well let me run a few tests, and I'll return." He leaves and soon returns with the test results in hand saying, "Well Mrs. Hatake it seems that you're pregnant. I'm sure your husband will be thrilled."

Aria sadly responds, "Thank you very much doctor" The doctor adds, "You'll need to see me in a month, and I suggest you tell the Father as soon as possible."

Aria nervously replies, "Yes Doctor I will" she's thinking to herself (oh shit what am I going to do now?)
