A/N: I know this chapter is a little short but I hope you guys like it. It's not the wedding chapter but that will be on its way very soon! Don't forget to drop me a review and include your boy baby names for Gaara and Kiya's little bundle of joy! XD
The weeks passed by and Kiya's belly grew faster. It's was now a common occurrence for Kiya to randomly run out of the room to get to the bathroom, the baby seemed to think that her bladder made a good trampoline. One day Kiya came running into Gaara's office.
"Gaara, Gaara, Gaara!" Kiya was running as best as a 6 month pregnant woman could.
"What? What's wrong?" Gaara jumped up from his chair and over his desk.
Kiya giggled pulled her shirt up over her belly, grabbed his hand and pressed it to the side of her stomach.
"Kiya, what's going on?" Gaara said after a minute or two.
"Oh, come on baby," Kiya said looking down at her stomach "be a good boy and show daddy what you did." She said pressing her hand over Gaara's a bit firmer.
"Kiya, what-" but he stopped. He had felt something, a flutter almost and soft vibrations. He looked down at his hand then back up at Kiya. Her smile was huge.
"He knows it's you." The tears welled in her eyes.
It was real. This was his baby, their baby, alive and kicking. Gaara sunk to his knees and pressed his ear to Kiya's bulging stomach. He felt Kiya's fingers thread their way into his hair, relaxing him further into his daydream like state. He heard the soft vibrations from the kicks and imagined what the tiny heart beat would sound like.
'Click' said the camera. Gaara opened his eyes and glared at Kankuro holding Temari's camera and grinning like the fool he was.
"That, little brother, was the cutest damn thing I have ever seen." Kankuro smiled.
Gaara just rolled his eyes and got to his feet.
"What were you doing any way?" Kankuro asked strolling leisurely into the room.
"The baby was kicking, oh! And still is, want to feel?" Kiya giggled at the sensation.
"Oh my god! Yes!" he jumped over to Kiya and letting her put his hand where the kicking was. "How's my little nephew? When you get here I'm going to spoil you rotten, you hear me?" Kankuro cooed to her tummy.
After Kankuro had left telling them once again how horridly spoiled their kid would be Kiya turned to Gaara and asked something she had been thinking about for a while.
"Gaara, what are we going to name him? I mean, now that we know it's a boy we should start thinking about names."
"KANKURO JR. IS A GREAT NAME!" they heard through the heavy wooden doors. Obviously Kankuro had not gone quite as much as they thought.
"I don't know Kiya, the council was supposed to have a meeting with me to discuss proper names but that never happened." Gaara said feeling a little silly that he hadn't even thought of one good name in the time he had to do so.
"Well why don't we each just start a list then once we have 10 or so names each we will bounce them off each other?" Kiya was still a little giggly from the baby kicking her.
"Okay, I'll try and start today." Gaara agreed and smiled at her after she gave him a kiss then left his office.
"Oh my goodness! It's so exciting Kiya-hime!" Miyzu jumped from foot to foot.
"Yeah, he kicks now too! He might start up again soon, would you like to feel?" Kiya smiled at her assistant.
"Of course Kiya- hime!" Miyzu said.
The two of them giggled together on the first floor of the library. Seeing as Kiya was pregnant and could not go up and down the stairs too many times in the day, she had put Miyzu in charge of all the underground floors.
"Oh! There it is!" Kiya smiled and grabbed Miyzu's hand placing it over the kicks.
"Oh Kiya-hime! It's so amazing! I can't wait to have children." Miyzu said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
Kiya laughed "It's not all sugar and gum drops. I mean I still have to have the thing! I'm gonna be pushing a baby out my vag, it's gonna hurt like hell!" Kiya said but still smiling at the thought of having a baby.
"I know but then you will have a baby!" Miyzu giggled.
The weeks passed quicker as Kiya met up with Aliya and some other friends. She was feeling much more tired but could not get to sleep at night, however she slept perfectly fine in the afternoon so she would always take a nap in Gaara's office on the couch that he had bought her. Kiya hit the 6 and a half month point about a week ago. Gaara looked up from his paper work and looked at his sleeping wife. He wondered what it would really be like to be a father. He was still nervous about it but not as much as he was at the beginning.
'That seems like such a long time ago. It's only another three months until the baby gets here!' Gaara thought. 'I wonder if Kiya has a list of names yet.'
Gaara stood from his desk and walked over to Kiya. He smiled down at her then sat on the floor next to her couch. He was now eye level with her stomach. He reached up and rubbed his hand lightly across her skin. The baby immediately started kicking his hand and Kiya groaned in her sleep. Gaara looked up quickly then back down at her stomach.
"Yes, little one, I'm here. But you need to stop kicking your mother, she's sleeping." He whispered.
The baby slowed it's kicking to a few every once in a while. It was like he didn't want Gaara to leave. Gaara smiled again.
"You know, I don't know anything about being a father. I am sorry in advance if I do anything wrong." Gaara kept talking to the baby, telling him everything like he had done with Kiya on their first date then told him about how he met Kiya and how they fell in love.
"And maybe one day you will find a wonderful woman to spend your life with, like I did." Gaara finished.
"He might not be able to hear you yet, honey." Kiya said. She had been a wake for almost the whole time.
Gaara jumped a little, he hadn't been expecting Kiya to be awake.
"He can't hear me yet?" Gaara asked after he had settled back in his spot.
"Well he might be able to; every baby grows a little differently. I think he likes the sound of your voice, I do." Kiya smiled. "Come here and cuddle with me for a minute." Kiya said scooting her legs off the couch and moving so he could climb behind her.
Gaara pulled off his robes and snuggled down behind Kiya, one of his arms under her head and the other draped over her tummy. Soon they were both fast asleep.
Suddenly, Kiya was seven months pregnant and it was time to head off to Konoha. It was two weeks before Temari's wedding and insisted that Kiya be there early to help her. Kiya just wanted to make sure that her sister didn't have a total melt down.
Kiya stood at the bottom of the stairs that led up to Gaara's office. She looked at them incredulously.
"How the hell am I going to get up these stairs?" Kiya asked to no one.
Lucky for her someone heard. "I'll carry you! After all you are my sister."
Kiya turned to see Kankuro. "You know you really don't have to, I'd get there eventually."
"Yeah but by then you would have to come right back down." Kankuro laughed, picking her up and carrying her up the stairs.
Kankuro set her lightly at the top then knocked on the door to Gaara's office.
"enter." They heard Gaara's voice through the doors.
"Kiya, just in time. This is your security detail." Gaara motioned to the group of 5 shinobi in the room.
"I was just briefing them on certain things pertaining to your condition." He told her as she stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth and nodded. "I have already told them about your peanut butter too." Gaara added with a smirk.
"You did?" Kiya asked him feeling a little embarrassed but then decided to run with it. "Okay good! I'm glad. I'll have you guys know that if one of you even LOOKS at my peanut butter the wrong way, I'll lightning punch your face off!" Kiya was trying so hard to keep a straight face but when they responded with "yes Kiya-hime" she started to laugh.
"I'm so sorry you guys! I won't punch you! Just ask and I'll give you some. Oh and also, I eat weird things so just go with it. Speaking of, do you have any pickles?" she said looking at her husband
"They are in the fridge where you left them." He said pointing to the mini fridge he had been forced to put in his office.
She nodded then walked behind his desk chair but she noticed something and stopped. Just as he was about to start talking again Gaara felt Kiya's hands in his hair.
"Kiya, what are you doing?" he said.
"Haha! I have been waiting for this day!" Kiya exclaimed
"What are you doing to me?" Gaara asked again, feeling not a little embarrassed at what was happening in front of some of his best shinobi.
"You, Kazekage-sama, have a grey hair." Kiya giggled walking over to the frigde, grabing her pickle and left the office.
Gaara scratched his head in slight annoyance until one of the shinobi stepped up.
"Don't worry Kazekage-sama that is perfectly normal. My wife does that to me all the time. She says I work too hard." Then he stepped back in the lineup.
Gaara couldn't help the small quirk of his lips at the thought of being called 'normal'. "Thank you." He said then went back to briefing them on the importance of this assignment.
The trip was slower than normal but Kiya got to Konoha in one piece five days later.
"Kiya-hime, we will travel back to Suna now and we leave you in the hands of Konoha." The lead shinobi told her.
"Alright then, have a good trip!" Kiya waved as her security disappeared into the forest.
"Kiya! You're here!" Temari shouted as she ran up to the gate. "Oh my God! The baby has grown so much! Come on, Shika is dying to see you and so is Naruto, he's been hanging around the house for two days waiting for you!"
As they walked Temari told her everything that they still needed to do.
"Okay, so we have to pick up the programs and make sure that the people I hired have them all set up on the day of. We have to get you fitted for your dress, I ordered it according to the estimated measurements Sakura gave me but I made sure that they cut it a little roomy just in case." Temari smiled.
"Perfect, and anything else that needs to happen? Temari slow down, I know you are excited but I'm 7 months pregnant." Kiya answered a little winded from trying to keep up with Temari's long strides.
"Oh, I'm sorry Kiya." Temari said slowing her pace to match Kiya's waddling.
They walked through the still crowded streets of Konoha's market, many of the women smiling at Kiya's obviously pregnant belly.
"KIYA!" a loud shout rang through the market and the crowd parted to look at Konoha's very own, number one unpredictable ninja: Naruto.
He stood in the middle of the street with his arms thrown up in the air, then, all of a sudden began to run full speed toward her. Kiya had experienced this several times in her life time and she knew that Naruto would never purposely knock her over, especially when she was pregnant.
He ran at her, arms out stretched then sooner than she thought, he was in front of her and snatched her up in a big Naruto hug, minding her tummy of course.
"Naruto, hi. I haven't seen you in forever it seems." Kiya said muffled in his obnoxious orange jacket.
"That's cuz you never come to Konoha ever anymore!" Naruto pouted.
"Come on Naruto, you know Gaara would have never let me come just because, he gets so protective of the baby and me." Kiya smiled. "Hey, can we get something to eat? I just realized that I am so hungry!"
The three of them laughed and went off to find something that Kiya wanted to eat.
A/N: okay, so there it is! don't forget baby names! if I don't pick your's it will at least have a part in the story.
