Ch. 3

It's the unexpected joy

"Well we made it back to Konoha in one piece." Shikamaru looked at Temari who was throwing up on the side of the road. "Eh? You sure you're feeling okay Temari?"

"I'm fine Shikamaru. I must have just eaten something I shouldn't have."

"I'm calling Tsunade as soon as we get home. I don't think this is your average food poisoning."

"I'm fine! You don't need to call Tsunade about this."

"Just to be on the safe side."

"Fine, as long as you don't do anything troublesome."

He gives her a very confused look as they enter the gates of Konoha. "Me? It's you who's the troublesome one."

Temari just laughed and Shikamaru couldn't help but smile. They had been gone for a month on their honeymoon. Tomorrow Temari was going to go back to Suna where her things were and bring them to Konoha. He wished she didn't have to go, but she was the ambassador of Suna, so she still had a home there. But now they had a house of their own, and it was plenty big thanks to Tsunade. He turned the key in the lock and opened the door.

"Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Welcome back Shikamaru," said Shikamaru's dad who was grinning ear to ear.

"Well this means that my parents know… and they are okay with it?" He looks at Temari who just shrugs.

"Shikamaru why didn't you tell us?" His mom asked.

"I was afraid of how dad would react."

"I explained everything to you guys," said Ino who was holding Choji's hand.

'What have we missed while we were gone?' wondered Shikamaru at the sight of his friends holding hands.

"Well Shikamaru surprised or what?" asked Asuma, his old sensei the first person to identify him as a genius, and as usual was smoking and Tsunade was standing right behind him.

"Asuma if you have to smoke can you please do it outside and not in Temari's and my house?" Shikamaru asked. Temari took one whiff of the tobacco smoke and ran into the bathroom and, of course, threw up.

"What happened to her?" asked Tsunade.

"I was hoping you could tell us. She kept throwing up the last couple weeks of our honeymoon and the journey back was not any better for her."

"Hmm…." Tsunade walked over to the bathroom where Temari had run into. After 15 min she came out. "Shikamaru, you and Temari don't mind if I call in some other medic ninja's do you?"

"Is something really wrong?" He was beginning to wonder if Temari was really all right.

"No…. I just need to see if my theory is correct, and for that I'm just going to call in Sakura and Hinata."

"Do you want me to take a look?" asked Ino.

"No, you are not to the level I need and Hinata is used to the medical exam she will have to give."

Temari came out of the bathroom and sat down on one the sofa's in the room. Shikamaru didn't want to admit it but she looked kind of pale.

Tsunade picked up the phone. "Hello Sakura? I need you to come down to Shikamaru's new house. It's not for something that serious but you might want to anyway. Ok." She hung up the phone. In a poof of smoke Sakura was in the room.

"Tsunade who-"

"Temari, I want you to see if you can tell why she's throwing up. Then tell me without any one else knowing."

"Tsunade-sama I'm fine," said Temari who did not like all of this attention for something as small as this, but Sakura was already examining her with her chakra. After another 15 minutes Sakura stood up and whispered something into Tsunade's ear.

"Well then I guess we have to call Hinata seeing as she is the only medic in her family that is not on a mission."

At these words Shikamaru grew a little more worried (if that was even possible), about what was going on in his living room, and with Temari.

Tsunade picked up the phone and called Hinata. In the next instant 2 ninja appeared out of thin air the way Sakura had. It was Naruto and Hinata.

Tsunade turned to Hinata and said, "I think you can guess what is going on Hinata?"

Hinata nodded, "You want me check don't you?"

Tsunade nodded. Naruto looked at the people in the room and scratched his head. Then started laughing. Ever since her family hired him as her body guard, for what reasons unknown to him, he'd see this drill over a million times.

Hinata activated Barakugun and looked right at Temari, or rather Temari's stomach. After a few seconds which ticked by like hours to Shikamaru she spoke. "Test is a positive, Tsunade. About 1 month."

Naruto then spoke, "Man, I Think Shikamaru's going to find this really troublesome."

"Just tell me what the hell is going on!" shouted Shikamaru, which surprised everyone.

"Temari's pregnant."
