5 MORE YEARS LATER
Hana barged right into the Kazekage's office, not even bothering to knock. She knew he wasn't doing anything important at the moment and she wasn't going to wait. He looked up from the document he was writing, but went right back to work.
"What do you need Hana?" he asked. Hana could tell that he wasn't in the best of moods, so she didn't want to drag out her explanation like she normally would.
"I'll just get straight to the point."
"Good for you," he grumbled, still not looking up from his work. Hana smirked at him evilly. She was definitely going to change that.
"I'm pregnant!" she squeeled. Gaara immediately stopped writing, creating a big blotch of ink in the middle of his paper. Gaara slowly looked up at his wife, his face looking paler than usual. He looked absolutely stupefied, which made Hana smirk.
She waited a few minutes for his response, but didn't receive one.
"Well…." She asked, pushing for an answer. Gaara took in a deep breath before answering.
"What should I be feeling?" he asked her. Hana gave him a questioning look.
"I don't know," she told him. "I would think that you would be happy. Probably a little surprised as well." Gaara slowly nodded.
"I am definitely surprised," he told her, putting a hand to his head. "I guess I'm a little worried." Hana raised an eyebrow.
"Worried about what?" Gaara closed his eyes and hung his head.
"What…. if it hates me?" he asked softly. Hana's eyes softened and she slowly walked toward her husband. She knelt down in front of him and put a hand on his cheek.
"Look at me Gaara," she told him softly. Gaara slowly brought his eyes up to meet her own. "Our child is not going to hate you unless you give it reason to hate you. I believe you will be a great parent." She leaned in and gave him a reassuring kiss. Gaara nodded as she pulled away.
"How can you be so sure?" Gaara asked as she turned away from him. Hana turned her head towards him, a grin plastered on her face.
"Because I married you," she replied simply. "I know you better than anyone else in this village." Gaara smirked at her, knowing that she was right.
Hana stopped in the doorway and turned back around to face him.
"Sorry about ruining your document," she told him with an evil smirk before quickly disappearing from his sight. Gaara looked down at the document his was working on and frowned and the dark ink blotch. He let out a deep sigh and took out a clean sheet of paper so he could start over.
The end is near. I want to put out another warning to my loyal readers. I will be making an alternate ending so that I can meet different people's expectations. Chapters 10a and 11a are tear jerkers, but in my opinion is good. 10b and 11b are the alternates for those who don't want to read the tear jerkers. Since I am doing this, it will take me a bit longer because I want to get both the "a and b" chapters out at the same time. Anyway... please review!!! It would make me so happy and it really does help to get feed back. Now that the end is near, what do you want to see happen before this story comes to a closure? REVIEW!!!
