Chapter 17

-Time Skip-

Red began to rock her son back and forth in her and Gaaras bedroom. The baby boy had bright red hair, and blue eyes like Gaara.

"How's Taro doing?" Gaara asked walking into their bedroom.

Red looked up at Gaara and smiled, "He's sleeping now" She stood up, and gently laid Taro down in his crib. "I thought you had a lot of paper work to take care of" Red looked up at Gaara after she covered Taro with his baby blue blanket.

"I do, but I told the elders I was going to take some time off to see my son" Gaara said walking over to Taros crib and looking inside down at the sleeping child.

Red also looked down at their son, "When do you have to go back to the office?" She asked

Taro began to move slightly, and Gaara reached down and picked him up, "I have to be back by this afternoon, there are still some papers I need to look over….about the war" Taro stayed asleep, but now with his tiny tongue sticking out.

"How is the war going? Any progress on finding Orochimaru?" Red asked, as she moved a small red hair from Taros eyes, smoothing his hair back.

Gaara shook his head, and then handed Taro back to Red, "I have as many men as I can out on the battle field, right now the only reason Temari and Kankuro aren't out in the field is because they wanted to be here when Taro was born, and now Temari wanted to see the Nara baby, and Kankuro the Inuzuka child" Gaara explained.

"I see….is there any news on Hissori or Awaiis babies yet?" Red asked. She hadn't been able to see or talk to either of her friends for about a month now, and she wanted to know if they were okay.

"We wont know anything until Temari and Kankuro come back here, due to the way, they wont be able to tell us by messenger bird, it could put the children in dangers" Gaara explained, even though he didn't have to.

Red sighed, "Yea…I knew that…I was just hoping that there was some information about them"


Laying in her hospital bed, Hissori cursed at each and every Nurse and Doctor there was. Telling each of them to go to hell. She was in so much pain, she felt as though she was dying. She swore that the doctors were all torturing her, that they enjoyed seeing her in so much pain.

Waiting outside of Hissoris hospital room was Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, and Temari.

Shikamaru was sitting on a bench, his head hanging low, while he twirled his thumbs. No matter how many times he tired, he couldn't help but worry. He didn't know hat to expect when this was all over, would he be the first to enter the room-no that would be suicidal. Damn why'd this have to happen today of all days.

"you know, you're suppose to be in there when-"

Shikamaru glared at Temari, "Can you hear her screaming" Temari nodded, "If I went in there I would be killed, so to speak, besides I wouldn't know what to do and I would only be in the doctors way"

Ino smirked, "Yea, but the father is always suppose to be in the room when his kid is born"

Temari nodded, "As much and I hate to admit is, flower girl here is right, even Gaara was in the room when Red had there baby"

Shikamaru sighed, "What a drag" He stood up, and walked to the door, and was about to open it when he could hear the sound of a baby cry. He had a slight smile on his face, but he had a problem, he couldn't move…

The door suddenly opened, causing Shikamaru and Hissoris doctor to be face to face, "Is there something wrong?" The doctor asked

Chouji walked over and slapped Shikamaru on the back, "This here is that father and he would like to see his baby"

"Oh, well congratulations, you have a beautiful healthy baby girl. You may come on in and see her" The doctor looked back at the others, "Sorry but only the father can go in the room right now"

They all nodded, then sat back down as Shikamaru walked into the room and saw Hissori laying on the hospital bed, breathing very heavy. He then looked over to were he could hear the baby cry, and saw a few doctors cleaning her….or at least that's what he hopped they were doing.

Shikamaru then walked over to Hissori, whom was sweating a lot, he didn't really know what to say to her, except, "How are you feeling?" He asked. That was the worse thing he could of asked.

It was a good thing the doctors handed Hissori the baby before she could yell at him. She looked down at the baby, which was wrapped like a little pink burrito, and smiled, "She has your hair color"

Even though there wasn't much to show, the baby had black hair, and little yellow eyes like Hissori.

"Have the two of you picked out a name for her?" the doctor asked looking over at the proud parents.

Hissori nodded, "her name is Chikako….Chikako Nara" She smiled looking down at hers and Shikamarus daughter.

Shikamaru was at a loss for words. He was looking down at HIS daughter, she was part of him….

Hissori looked up at Shikamaru, "do you want to hold her?" She asked in a very tired voice.

Shikamaru nodded, then took Chikako out of Hissoris hands, and held her. Once she was in Shikamarus hands, Chikako yawned and quickly feel asleep. Shikamaru smirked, and thought that Chikako was defiantly like him, and they were going to get along really well….He didn't see why everyone always said that taking care of babies was hard…this wasn't going to be that bad for him.


Awaii was laying on the couch, on her back with her two children laying on her chest. She had a baby boy, and a baby girl, both with barley any brown hair to see, and little bright green eyes. They were so tiny, that they both could fit on her chest at the same time.

Kiba walked out of the bedroom, and down the hall, "Kiba, do you think you can make two bottles….Kaida and Keitaro are going to be ready to eat in a little bit"

Kiba nodded, and walked into the kitchen and began making their bottles. Awaii then began to run the babies backs, to keep them calm, even though they were asleep, the twins would be waking up soon and ready to eat.

After a few minutes, Kiba was finished making the bottles, and the babies were ready to eat. Kiba picked up Kaida and then handed Awaii one of the two bottles, he then began to feed the cute little baby. Awaii then sat up, and began to feed Keitaro.

As Kiba and Awaii feed Kaida and Keitaro, someone knocked on the door. The two looked at each other, then at the door, they already knew who it was at the door, it was Kankuro.

"its open Kankuro" Kiba said just loud enough for Kankuro to hear, and not bother the babies.

He walked in the house, "So how are the twins doing?" He asked closing the door behind him, "they said anything yet? Walked? Crawled?"

Awaii sighed, and shook her head, "No Kankuro, they are only a few days old…they wont be doing any of that stuff for a while"

"I knew that….I was just…joking" He rubbed the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed, "Anyways, I was just coming to see how they were doing since I have to head back to Sand today"

"Well as you can see they are fine…in about 5 to 10 minutes they will be back asleep with full bellies" Awaii said looking down at Keitaro smiling at him as he began to close his tiny eyes, while still trying to eat.

"5 to 10 minutes? Kaida seems to be wide awake now…she might take a little longer than that" Kiba smirked while feeding his daughter.

"Well if everything is okay, I should leave, I gotta drag Temari away from Chikako" He sighed as he turned to face the door.

Awaii stood up, and walked over to Kankuro, "do you want to hold him?" She asked.

He looked back at her, "you sure…I don't wanna break him"

Awaii laughed a little, "Its fine, you wont break him if you don't drop him…" she then handed Keitaro to Kankuro, "See…Uncle Kankuro wants to hold you too"

Keitaro opened his eyes a little, and had a very confused, yet concentrating look on his face. He then yawned and feel back asleep. Kankuro couldn't help but smile at the little baby, that was until the baby decided to burp all over Kankuro…leaving a white blob on his black outfit. Doing so, caused both Awaii and Kiba to laugh slightly as he looked up at the two, "I don't think he likes me"

Awaii took Keitaro and began rocking him back and forth, "no he likes you…and he just proved it" She smiled as Keitaro began to fall back asleep, this time with out burping on anyone.

-End of Chapter, sorry if it sucks…but I don't like to draw out things so I decided to let them have their babies. But don't worry, there should still be some kick ass stuff in here…maybe not this chapter, but there will be some action…Awaii and Kibas twins babies names Keitaro means "Blessed", and Kaida means "Little Dragon"…Gaara and Reds Taro means "First Born Male" and I liked it…. Hissori and Shikamarus Chikako means "Child of Wisdom". Aren't they cute names…well I hope so, cause it took me forever to pick each name…and I have come to the conclusion that I NEVER want kids…naming them is too hard…anyways, end of chapter and next one will be up soon…-
