I have decided that I am going to do a drabble for every year until she is 18 and then three after that for 3 major points in her life. These will be a lot happier than the first 2 chapters ( that's not hard!) I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Naruto, if I did Hinata and Naruto would have eloped by now!

1 year old.

My daughter sleeps a lot. At first this worried me. I may have looked calm but on the inside I was panicking every time Shika slept for more than 10 hours straight. She would wake up, eat, got burped and changed then she went back to sleep. This used to worry Temari too. Unfortunately she isn't around to worry any more. The good thing about this was it gave her a good babysitting reputation. Everyone was willing to babysit my child when I was stuck because all you had to do was feed her, burp her, change her and lie her on her back and that was all it took. She was asleep in seconds. Although it really freaks Naruto out. As much as he loves her, he refuses to babysit. After he couldn't feel her pulse one time he always says no. He will play with her if she is with Hinata but he leaves when she sleeps. He says its unnatural for a baby to sleep that much. He has a point. Another thing about Shika is, she is unbelievably happy. She is constantly laughing or smiling. She rarely cries and when she gets your attention she stops. As you can tell my daughter is weird.

I was lay on the sofa talking to Shika (who was sat on my chest giggling) when there was a knock on my door. It was Neji and I could tell by the look on his face, I wasn't going to like this.

"Tsunade-Sama wants to see you" he told me, looking at Shika who was sat on my feet. She held up her arms to be picked up. He looked at me for permission first. I gave him a small nod. It always surprises me how good Neji is with Shika. He never struck me as someone who liked kids. I suppose he is used to her because his girlfriend Tenten is one of my regular babysitters. She was a good friend of Temari,s so I know I can trust her. He picked her up and let her stroke his long hair. He let out a chuckle when she said 'soft' a look of awe on her face. The problem was I had no one to

babysit. My parents went away for the weekend, Choji, Tenten and Hinata are on missions, Ino is working (she took over her dads job and is now scarier than Anko) Kankuro and Gaara are still in Suna (They would be here tomorrow for Shika's birthday), Naruto is doing jobs for Tsunade in Hokage preparation and Kurenai and Asuma are shopping. I cant bring her, Tsunade is very easy going but I know she will need my full attention and that wont be given if Shika is there. Fuck! What am I going to do?

"I will babysit" I looked him over.

"What?"

"I'm presuming from the look on your face you have no babysitter. I will do it" There is a big difference between playing with her when someone else is watching her and actually doing the watching. I had no other options and I could trust Neji.

"Okay let me just get her bag" I ran back in the house, grabbed her baby bag that was always packed just in case I need to rush off, like now. I pulled on my jacket, gave the bag to Neji give Shika a good bye kiss and ran to see Tsunade. The quicker I was there the quicker I could get back.

Unfortunately life doesn't work that way. I was stuck in that office for 6 hours, talking about what would happen if an enemy village would attack. Naruto lasted a hour, Tsunade lasted 2. Both were softly snoring and drooling on some paperwork. By the end of the meeting I was ready to strangle the one council member that had talked for the whole 6 hours. I felt bad. I should have warned Neji I would be gone this long. He probably doesn't know how to feed her or change her or anything. I was a little worried. As soon as the meeting was finished I went to get Shika. I went straight to Neji's apartment. When Neji opened the door I couldn't hold back my laugh. He looked so tired. His hair was everywhere, he had a mysterious brown substance on his cheek and I'm pretty sure that's baby puke on his robe. He handed me Shika, ran and got her bag then he slammed the door in our face.

"There goes your good reputation" I mumbled to Shika. She just giggled at me.
