When Shikamaru decided now would be a good time to wake up he was not looking forward to seeing Temari, after all she had probably tried to wake him up numerous times. His eyes struggled to open, they were almost glued shut, and for a few moments all he saw were blurry shapes of light. He did however make out the shape of a baby.
Wait a baby?
Shikamaru's body almost seemed to move on its own, he somehow made it to the kitchen only to see Temari quietly sipping her coffee at the dining table.
"Honey why is there a baby in my room?" Shikamaru practically screamed at her.
"Hun, keep it down. Jinto's probably going to start crying with all the screeching that you're making."
Shikamaru was rendered speechless, something he was clearly not used to.
"Jinto? That thing has a name?" Shikamaru could barely comprehend the situation.
"It's not a thing hun, he's our baby now," Temari said casually, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
"A baby. Yeah sure let's just suddenly have a baby pop into our lives with no sudden warnings" Shikamaru stated, sarcasm dripping off of his voice.
Temari just nodded her head and continued drinking her coffee. As she turned the page of the newspaper, Shikamaru's head suddenly popped into her line of vision.
"BABE WE CAN'T HAVE A BABY!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's creepy!"
"Hun, babies are not creepy. You're creepy"
There was a sudden quiet, something Temari enjoyed. As she continued to read her newspaper she could hear a constant thudding of wood. She looked up past her paper to see Shikamaru quietly banging his head against the table and sighed. She should have known that this type of reaction was bound to happen.
"Look he's Naruto and Hinata's. I promised them that we'd look after him for a week or so"
Shikamaru raised his head, his forehead slightly pink, and blinked a few times.
"Don't worry you're going to be at work for most of the week anyways so I'll stay at home and look after him," Temari reassured her fear stricken husband.
The couple sat quietly for a few moments at the dining table before Jinto suddenly started to cry. Temari quickly folded her paper, put her cup of coffee down and ran off to the wailing baby.
Shikamaru stared dumbfounded out of the window; he was basically a father now wasn't he?
A/N: It's very short I know. And not that great either. My grammar and English isn't that great either and I tend to overuse certain words/phrases, but I am trying to avoid that these days. Sorry if it isn't that great.
