It was the end of the week and everyone was relaxing. Out of nowhere the guys were called to the Hokage's office. "Lord Hokage what's wrong?" Naruto asked once in the room.

"Guys, sorry about this but I need you for a short body guarding mission. It should last no longer than a couple of weeks, at the most. Look I'm sorry but you know that everyone is busy at the moment and you are not only the best for this but also the ones capable of doing this. If I had a choice you wouldn't be going ok? You will start tomorrow." Tsunade said. "Ok, then." Everyone said sadly looking down. They walked out of the Hokage's office slowly and went to spent time with the girls.

Once at Ten-Ten's house the guys told the girls we were to leave for a body guarding mission tomorrow. The girls however, took it harder than the boys did.

"WHAT! They expect you to go on a mission when you're having time off and one of us is pregnant too!" Ino screamed and looked the the boys. "Yeah. I mean could they get anyone else to guard this person?" Hinata asked.

Sakura and Ten-Ten took it hard as well, Sakura worse because Sasuke might not not be around to see the birth of his child, but could see in the boys faces they didn't want to go either, it was just their duty to go.

The next morning came faster than expected. Everyone was up and ready early and spent as much time together as possible. They all went to the gate and waited for Kakashi and their client. While waiting for them, they had a chance to talk.

"I don't want you to go, Naruto." Hinata said sadly and hugged him tightly. Naruto chuckled a little and stroked Hinata's hair and replied, "Hinata, I have to, it's my duty. I don't want to, I'd rather stay here with you but sadly I can't." The other said similar things to the girls, but Sasuke something entirely different.

"Sasuke, please don't go. What if you're not around for when the baby's born." Sakura sadly said with tears in her eyes. Sasuke smiled and made her look at him.

"Sakura even though I'm going on a mission, you know I'd rather stay with you, but I promise you I will be here to see our child being born." He said with a small smile, reserved only for her, and kissed her.

The boys kissed their girlfriends and just as they were kissing, Kakashi popped in a puff of smoke with the client. "Kakashi-sensei, don't do that. Anyway, you are an hour late." Naruto shouted up to Kakashi, who was sitting on the top of the Konoha gate. "Sorry guys, I got lost on the path of......" He started and was cut off by the girls giggling at what the guys had said.

They said their goodbyes and the boys left on their mission.

It had only been a few hours since the boys had left and the girls were already missing them. They had gone to Ino's house to try and get their minds off of the boys.

Round Ino's they tried everything they could think of and some other things lying around house, but quickly got bored of them and could get their minds off the boys. Even some of their other friends and the senseis or people they knew, tried to get their minds away from the possible threats the boys would be in, but failed.

A few days had past and everyone was trying so hard to get on with their lives. Sakura only had just under 3 weeks left until the baby was due and she was getting everything ready. Like packing her stuff for hospital and sorting out the baby clothes, a out fit a few sizes as she didn't know how big the baby would be. The day went quick and the next day soon came.

However Sakura was more worried about the mission the guys were one because Sasuke was away when it was so close to the due date and technically she could go into labour at any time and she didn't want Sasuke to miss the birth of his child.

On the mission the boys had encountered a few mishaps, but had kept the client alive. They were over half ways to their destination and they ran into some ninja. "Protect the client!" shouted Kakashi from the front. "Don't forget to protect yourselves as well." said Naruto to the other boys.

A battle ensued and the boys won. They had a few cuts and only a few serious wounds, but after some time resting they were back on their feet and moving.

Over a week past and they were at their destination and had protected their client and, killed the ones after him. They were now on their way home, FINALLY.

It had been nearly two weeks and the girls were excited to see the boys again. As Sakura was almost about to have her baby and Sasuke wasn't there they decided to give her some alone time.

It was almost nightfall and Sakura was watching a movie. "Don't worry, daddy will be back soon. I hope." Sakura whispered to her baby and herself as the baby seemed really active and she was getting a bit uncertain Sasuke would be coming back within the time she had left of her pregnancy.

Sakura starred out of the window and chuckled to herself, 'It sure feels weird calling Sasuke daddy. I wonder how he will feel about it.'

It had been two weeks and three days, it was getting closer and closer to due date and the boys still weren't back.

It was about eight in the morning when the boys came back through the gates. "Ok, boys go home and get some rest." Kakashi spoke and went home in a puff of smoke, where he was greeted by Kurenai.

Before the others could get two steps to their home, the girls had seen them and hugged them.

"We are sooo glad to see you after over two weeks." Ino said. The girls gave the boys a welcome back kiss and a long hug. After all the welcome backs were finished with, they had

ramen together (as a group) and then went their separate ways.

At their house, Sasuke and Sakura talked about the mission and other things. "Sasuke, I'm glad your back." Sakura said, laying her head on his shoulder. She was relaxed and started to stroke her stomach absent-mindedly.

"So, everything ok, with the baby and everything while I was gone." he replied noticing her stroking her stomach. "Yeah, everything's fine, expect for you weren't here. It's due in less than a week, it's a miracle we got everything ready in time." She answered getting a movie to watch.

Halfway, through the movie Sasuke fell asleep and so did Sakura.

Hinata and Naruto had gone to the park. They were staring at the clouds going past. "Naruto."

"Hm." Naruto said looking at Hinata, who was blushing. "I'm glad your back. I missed you so much." Hinata said looking at him, but not giving eye contact with him.

"I'm glad I'm back too, Hinata. I missed you too." Naruto said, then kissed her. All their emotions were poured into that one kiss. Then they continued to look at the clouds and Naruto fell asleep.

Ino and Shikamaru had gone to, the forest so they could be alone. Ino cuddled up to Shikamaru, as they were sitting on a tree branch, and said what the others girls had said and kissed him. They had a major make-out session. (A/N: I couldn't think of a good description of what they did. Sorry I know its rubbish)
Neji and Tenten had gone to their old training grounds and just relaxed. Tenten sat with her back against Neji's chest and was just glad to see he was ok. "You know I prefer it when we have missions together. We get it done quicker and we don't have to be apart." Tenten said hoping Neji would pick up on what she was trying to say.

The corners of Neji's mouth turned up slightly and hugged Tenten tighter. "I know what you mean but we're shinobi we don't always get what we want." Tenten snuggled into Neji closer and for the rest of the day they just talked to each other and enjoyed being together.

Please review. I hope you like it.

Thank you :D
