It's true that I had changed a lot since moving to Suna. But my love for ridiculously put together outfits had burned as bright as ever.

There were few citizens in Konoha who didn't stop to stare as I made my way down the street.

But their eyes were not focused on me but on the elaborately dressed infant on my hip.

This morning I had created a fashion masterpiece on Kenos small frame. Choosing to dress him in a sailor suit shirt, orange sweatpants, and to finish it off, a bonnet that was very furry and designed to look like the head of a grisly bear. Complete with two fuzzy ears on top!

I was very fashion forward in my own mind.

When I had walked into the hotel kitchen this morning and announced that I was going to go shopping, Gaara had taken one look at Keno, shook his head, and walked away. But not before handing me a pocket book full of money.

And now I was proudly walking down the main street of Konoha while Keno struggled to chew his way out of the furry contraption I had securely fastened to his head.

Gaara had wanted me to go to a lunch at the Hokage tower with him but I didn't want to. The 'Uchihas' would be attending. No way!

My first stop was the Konoha super market where I spent an hour perusing the shelves, looking at all the different baby foods they had.

It was kind of ridiculous the variety they had. Butternut Squash!? What the hell kind of baby eats Butternut Squash?

When I grew up I had no money and no one to take care of me. But even in my pathetically fragile mental state I had no problem throwing a screaming tantrum when Iruka or the old man even mentioned that crap.

I was drawn out of my thoughts when I heard my name being called.

TenTen was walking towards me. Dragging her evil male spawn behind her in an iron grip that only a kunoichi mom could posses.

As she drew near I saw her visibly stop, choke on her own spit, recompose herself, and struggle to hold back sporadic giggles as she took in Kenos bold fashion statement.

"Hey TenTen," I called as she stopped in front of me. "What are you doing in this neck of the woods?"

I joked. Referring to the fact that we were standing in the middle of a huge crowd of both civilian and ninja moms who were grabbing desperately at any items they could reach due to the Konoha Baby Super Sale that was happening.

"Just getting stocked up on what we need for when the new baby comes." She replied, rubbing her stomach lovingly.

"But aren't you not due for another like 2 months?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well Neji figures we should stock up now so we don't have to shop after she's born." She explained in a sheepish tone.

"When Keno was born didn't you stock up on fo-!" I watched her eyes widen and her hand

automatically fly up to cover her mouth as she realized what she said.

There was an akward silence as she struggled to find something to say.

" I'm sorry Naruto," She whispered, her head down. "About what happened with Sasuke. I really am."

She looked back up at me to see my reaction to her apology but I wasn't looking at her.

Instead I studied Keno. His dark silky hair that fell over his head in a messy hair do that didn't belong on an infant. And his big blue eyes that could make anyone love him in an instant. He was a beautiful baby, and even from a distance one could tell he was an Uchiha. Uchiha babies were known to be perfect. And Keno was perfect, so perfect that every time I saw him I pictured the only other perfect Uchiha in this world.

And I hated him for it.

Hated him for leaving us.

I hated him for not letting me look at my own baby without remembering what I had lost.

"Naruto?" An apprehensive voice whispered. I looked up to see TenTen staring back at me, her eyes full of shame. She thought that she was the one the one to put me in this mood but the truth is, sometimes I was just like this. Sad and depressed. Gaara called it my mourning time as I would often lay on the bed and cry. Sometimes he would come in and hold me. Other times he would just leave me alone to wallow in my own self pity.

It hurt him just as much. I knew that. Seeing me crying for a life that he wasn't a part of. But he never said anything. Never got angry or told me to get over it like he should. He just silently took the baby to his office with him in the morning and brought him home to me that night.

And as I sat there with an awkward TenTen dodging frantic moms in the baby food section of the Konoha Super Market. I began to remember all the things that Gaara had done for me for the time I was with him.

And I really saw how much he loved me.

I decided to go meet him liked he'd asked me to at the Hokage tower. Screw avoiding friends. To hell with keeping bad memories buried.

To hell with Sasuke. I got myself a new husband. And he was a lot better then Sakuras!!
