Chapter 3

A few weeks had gone by and it was close to the second month of the pregnancy. Which was ten times worse than Lee thought it could or should be. Tsunade would only give Gai low ranked missions that were always with in the village so he was safe but caused Gai to complain greatly. She also mentioned that he would be starting to get cravings and his mood would change dramatically over the course of the next few months.

"Lee wake up." Gai said quietly as he poked Lee in the shoulder. Lee groaned and simply rolled over onto his stomach. "Lee!" This time Gai was shaking Lee so hard that he nearly fell off the bed.

"Gai-sensei?" Lee gave him a tired and questioning look before looking at the clock. "Gai-sensei it is one in the morning. I have to get as much rest as I can for my mission in a few hours." Lee tried to go back to sleep but Gai shook him again and gave him a sad look.

"But we're out of chocolate." Gai replied. One of Gai's favorite cravings at the moment were chocolate and marshmallow sandwiches which Lee was grateful for seeing as how it wasn't strange or disgusting like Iruka's cravings for fish sticks dipped in peanut butter. Lee nearly gagged at the thought.

"Leeeeee!" Gai whined as he pulled on Lee's arm and dragged him out of the large bed.

"Okay okay, just let me get dressed first." Lee said with a slight chuckle in his voice. He could never be truly annoyed at Gai for anything. Gai nodded and ran to the closet to grab two identical jumpsuits and tossed one to Lee.

As Lee began to dress himself he couldn't help but watch Gai. As he was only two months in he didn't show in any way Lee could see. But Gai insisted that he had gained some weight over the last few weeks, probably from not being allowed to train nearly as often as he wanted and from eating so much food. Gai looked down at himself with a slightly annoyed look and went back to the closet to get his jonin vest. He pulled it on and zipped it up as he went into the bathroom to inspect himself. Lee couldn't help but laugh as he grabbed his own vest.

"Gai-sensei you are not fat." He said as he came up from behind and wrapped his arms around the older man.

"Are you kidding?! I gained like ten pounds over the last three weeks." Gai said and Lee just shook his head. After a few seconds of silence Gai's stomach growled.

"Well, baby's hungry! Let's go get that chocolate." Gai exclaimed causing Lee to laugh again.

"I don't like this place." Gai whined as they walked through the entrance of the only store that was open at this late hour.

"Gai-sensei it is the only place that is open at this hour. Plus what is wrong with it?" Lee asked Gai curiously.

"The register lady doesn't like me. And when she sees me she's going to call me fat and make me sad so I'll cry." Gai replied and tears started to gather in his eyes. Lee gave him a worried look and was about to comfort him when he noticed something silver out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see who it was and was surprised to see it was Kakashi.

"Well, what a surprise seeing you here." Kakashi said sarcastically as he walked over to them, Iruka following behind him with several boxes of fish sticks and a jar of peanut butter in his arms. When Lee saw the items the academy teacher was holding he couldn't help but gag.

"What's wrong?" Iruka asked, completely oblivious to what could possibly make Lee look so sick.

"I-it is nothing." Lee said as he moved his hand from his mouth to the back of his head.

"So I'm assuming you were dragged hear for the same reason?" Kakashi asked as he gave Iruka a tired look.

"Are you calling me fat?" Gai suddenly said before Lee could answer. Kakashi and Lee gave him a wired look while Iruka walked off to pay for the food he was carrying. "I'm gonna buy food now." And with that Gai walked off to find his chocolate.

"Well at least he didn't…"

"Oh I almost forgot!" Gai exclaimed as he ran back and jumped onto Lee's back. Lee struggled to regain his balance as Gai pointed at Kakashi with competitive smirk. "Tomorrow I challenge you to a contest of speed and stamina! You and I shall race around the entire village and whoever wins shall break our tie of sixty-five."

"Is that such a great idea? What with your 'condition'." Kakashi said as he rolled his eyes.

"Nonsense, I maybe youthfully with child but that does not mean…"

"Gai-sensei." Lee said as he looked over his shoulder and gave Gai pleading look. Gai returned his look with a pout but lost regardless.

"Fine." Gai gave in and slumped on Lee's back. Lee smiled thankfully and carried him off to get what they came for.

When they got home and Gai had eaten his sandwich they went to bed. Well Lee went to bed and fell asleep but Gai just simply lay in bed and stared up at the ceiling until he found that he had been doing that for an hour. With a sigh he got out of bed and walked into the living room. He sat down on the couch and absent mindedly started to rub his stomach. When he realized this he took his hand away and blushed.

"Gai-sensei?" Gai looked up to see Lee standing in the door way to their bed room, a groggy and questioning look on his face.

"I couldn't sleep." Gai said with a reassuring smile. "I think I'll start my…" 'Training early' was what he was going to say but he remembered he wasn't allowed to train like he normally did. And he was also supposed to be getting more sleep but with the lack of exercise he had too much energy. Lee sensed this and felt bad about Gai's position.

"I have an idea." Lee suddenly said with a smile on his face. "Maybe if were careful we can do something that will 'work' off the extra energy you have." Gai thought for a moment before a sly grin spread across his face.

"I don't know, to work off all the energy I have we'll have to 'work it off' at least once a day." He said as lee came to sit next to him on the couch.

"I do not mind." Lee whispered into Gai's ear, his tongue flicking out against it as he spoke. Gai shivered and grabbed Lee's hand before pulling him into the bedroom.

It was about five in the morning when Lee woke up and got ready for his mission. After taking half an hour to get ready he poked his head back into the bedroom to see Gai was still fast asleep. He smiled and was relieved that his plan had worked. He knew how hard it was to not train after getting injuries and he couldn't even imagine how horrible it would be to not do anything for over nine months.

"Gai-sensei I will see you tonight ok." Lee whispered as he leaned over the bed and kissed Gai on the forehead.

"Stop calling me sensei." Gai mumbled groggily but didn't make any other movements. Lee couldn't help but leave with a smile.

Yes it's horrible but I feel bad for not writing anything for like ever. If anyone has any good ideas for motivation then please tell me because I think I have Shika-syndrom XD LOL I am such a dumbass. Gawd someone hit me and make me work.
