Kakashi POV

We walked home and I started to cook dinner.

"Wait Kakashi, before you start dinner could we talk?" she asked.

"Sure." I said and put the things I took out away and sat down next to her.

"What about?" I asked,

"Well… you see." She started she was looking down and she was playing with the hem of her dress. She was definitely nervous about something.

"Valentine what is it?" I asked moving my chair so I was closer to her and could move her face so she could look me in the eye.

"How do you feel about kids?" she asked.

"Kids?" I asked.

"Yeah… Do you ever want to have any?" she asked.

"Hmm… I have been pondering that lately, I always thought I'd be nice. We have been married for six years now. We've never talked about that before have we? Is that why you were so nervous?" I asked.

"Not exactly…. Well… sort of." She said still fidgety.

"Valentine what's wrong? You never get all nervous like this around me? What is it?" I asked a bit worried.

"Well I'm not sure of what your reaction will be…" she said.

"Will I be mad?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Valentine your scaring me, tell me." I said.

"I'm… pregnant." She said. I was definitely caught off guard. But I still found myself smiling and I laughed a bit.

"What?" she asked still all nervous, I probably caught her off guard with my chuckle.

"You were afraid I'd be mad? Valentine this is a good thing. I know we never talked about it but from the way your eyes are sparkling right now I'd say you're happy too." I said and she smiled. She hugged me,

"Thank you." She said.

"How far along are you?" I asked.

"Doctor says about a week or so." She answered.

"Do you want to go out to dinner?" I asked.

"What for?" she asked and I smiled.

"To celebrate." I said and she nodded smiling.

" lets go to Carrabas." I said.

We started walking to dinner and ran into Naruto. I changed into nice clothing.

"Wow Kakashi-sensei I never thought I'd see you out of ninja attire." He said.

"Hello Naruto." He said.

"Hi Val-sensei." He said waving.

"Where are you guys going?" he asked.

"Dinner." She replyed.

"Can I come?!" he asked and I was tempted to say no but yes at the same time. He probably had never had dinner with a couple parent-ish people before. It might be nice for him. I looked to Valtnein and she nodded telling me it was ok.

"Sure come on." I said and he followed.

"Cool!!" he said excited.

We arrived at the restaurant and sat down.

"So Naruto how'd the first exam go?" Valentine asked.

"I passed with flying colors!" he said and Kakashi looked a bit surprised.

"Ibiki was your proctor correct?" he asked and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, he played all these mind games with us. He got a bunch of teams to quit but we all stayed. I didn't even fill anything out on the test sheet." He said laughing.

I chuckled,

"I should have guessed." I said.

"So why are you guys going out to dinner? Is it a special occasion? Anniversary or something?" he asked.

"Well yes and no. It's not our anniversary. But it is a special occasion." I answered.

"OOOO it's a secret isn't it? Tell me!! Tell me!" he begged smiling chessily.

"Maybe later." Valentine answered chuckling a bit.

"So Naruto what are you going to get?" Valentine asked.

"I don't know… I've never been here before." He said.

"Really?!" she asked and Naruto nodded.

"Then I'm ordering for you." She said taking his menu.

"Val-sensei! That's to fair." Naruto said complaining.

"I wanna order." He said.

"No, you're too inexperienced at Carraba's menu. You are going to order Chicken Gratella." She told him.

"But it sounds gross!" he complained.

"It has to sound gross. If it sounds gross it means its good." She said.

Naruto got it and he actually liked it.

"Wow Val-sensei this is good!" he said.

"I know." She said and I chuckled.
"This reminds me of out first date here." I said.

"Why what happened?" Naruto asked.

"Well she insisted I should get lasagna even though I wanted the filet. But she had this weird rule I'm not even sure to this day if she was actually serious, but she insisted that I couldn't order a filet at an Italian restaurant. I had no idea but she convinced me to get the lasagna." I said and Naruto laughed.

"Kind of like how she convinced me to get the chicken gratella?" He asked and I nodded. I paid the check and we all left.

"Good night Naruto." We said and he waved.

"Night." He said and left in the opposite direction for his house. We walked home holding hands.

"So we are going to be parents." I said enjoying the idea.

"Yepp." She answered.

"I wonder if it's a boy or a girl." I pondered.

"What would we name it?" she asked.

"We could name it after someone important in out lives?" I suggested.

"So if it's a boy… you choose someone. And if it's a girl I'll choose." She said and I nodded.

"I don't really have to think quite hosestly… Id choose Obito." I said and she nodded.

"I'd pick… Rose." She answered and I smiled a bit.

"That's a nice name." I said and we passed a flower shop so I picked her up a rose.

"For you." I said and she smiled.

"What's this one mean?" she asked.

"Family." I said and she hugged me.

We hugged for a few minutes before heading back home and having a celebration of our own. (Wink wink nudge nudge.)

I am going to fast forward to the preliminaries next chapter because you should already know what happens during the second stage and I don't wanna describe it.
