Lexi's P.O.V. 6 months later

I stared at myself in the mirror, holding onto my bigger stomach. I could smile truly now. After I have my baby, I'm gonna go move with my brother. The village held to many memories that hurts my chest so much.

I haven't told anyone but Sasuke that I was pregnant, and I lied and told him that it was a false alarm and that my period came late. To hide my pregnancy, I actually go under a transformation jutsu to my original body frame. No one suspect my pregnancy.

After the 2 week surgery, Hidan went back to Yugakure with his woman. I didn't say goodbye nor saw him off when he left. I found it as a good thing. I don't need people in my life who makes me sad. Besides, now I can give all my love and attention to my son.

Yes, I'm having a boy, but I just don't know what to name him. I soon sighed and pulled my shirt down, fixing my sweat pants as I picked up a candy bar from my vanity, eating it and scratching my wild hair.

"I need to go shopping." I sighed, eating more of the candy. "…I love chocolate…do you like it too?" I asked my stomach as I walked out of my room and down the halls. "Of course you do, you're the one who's craving for it, making me fatter, fucker."

I soon opened my fridge and looked in it for something to make. "…It's empty." I sighed before throwing my hair into a tight ponytail and started making hand signs, under going a transformation jutsu. I walked out the house just like that and went to the market to pick out some food.

"And just why the hell should I pay $4.89 for a pound of cherries?!" I snapped at the old man.

"Because, they some real good cherries right there! Got them all the way from the forest!" he said.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?! THEY LOOK SPOILED!" I yelled at the man, throwing it at his head before walking away with all my stuff in my hands.

"Stupid fuck. Like I'm really gonna pay for some nasty ass cherries." I swore under my breath.

"Well, someone has gotten feisty."

I soon looked up to see my brother standing next to me a silver briefcase in his hand. I already knew it was money. This mother fucker is a greedy asshole. Yet, I smiled brightly, and held out some bags to him. "Help me, Kakuzu?" I asked.

I heard him sigh, but he soon grabbed the stuff from my hands and we walked down the village. "How have you've been?" he asked.

"I've been good, and yourself?" I asked.

"Been better. I came by to see how you were. Have you've been getting the money I have been sending to you?"

"As always." I told him as we came to my house, and I unlocked the door and walked in. "I was gonna make a cherry cobbler. You want s-"

"Of course. You know cherries are my favorites"

My ears twitched when I heard the voice. I soon looked over at my couch and my eyes widen quickly, and I dropped everything in my hands. I felt my eyes watering up, and my heart pumping quickly. "M-Mommy?" I asked.

My mother, in the flesh, sitting on my couch staring at me. We just kept staring at each other before she grinned, her face never aged since the day she left me. "Hey, baby." she said.

I rushed over to her hugging her quickly as I sobbed on her shoulder. I couldn't believe it. My mother is here, she's actually here in my house! I couldn't stop crying these tears of happiness.

"M-Mommy! I missed you! I missed you so much!" I continued to sob.

"Shh, Lexi. What did I tell you about that crying?" she asked me with an annoyed but sympathetic look.

I sniffed a little, pulling back as I wiped my eyes. "N-Not to cry…" I said lowly as I looked up at her dark ruby eyes.

She nodded her head. "Exactly, now smile for mommy." she said.

Sniffing more, I gave her a smile and she smiled back at me, standing up. "I see that you've been taking care of yourself. You look stable…and you're pregnant." she said.

"…You're pregnant?" Kakuzu eyed me. "No wonder your chakra felt off."

I gasped. I understood Kakuzu reason of knowing, but not my mother. "H-How-"

"Baby, we're Saitos. We know." she said, pointing to her nose.

"…" I soon sighed and dropped the transformation, standing up and showing my mother my big stomach. I soon held it. "A boy." I told her with a smile.

She soon smiled at me as well and gently touched my belly. "He's going to be beautiful. I can just tell by the smell." she told me. "Whatchu gonna name him?"

"I still don't know. I have 3 more months left. I want his name to be unique…if not, at least spelled differently." I told her.

She soon opened her mouth, only for a loud sound in the kitchen to cut her off. "RAVEN! RAVEN HOW COULD YOU HAVE LEFT ME IN THE VILLAGE ALL BY MYSELF?!"

I turned to see my father walking from the kitchen with leaves and twigs all over him. He looked over at me, and a smile made it's way onto his lips and hearts replaced his eyes. "LEXI! MY BABY LEXI!" he ran to me in the way you would if you were in a movie with sunshine beaming on you in a field of flowers.

"Uh…"

He was about to give me a big embraced only for my mother to give him a good kick in the chest, forcing him collided in my wall. "DRACULA (My best friends bitch .), WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU PLANING TO DO?! YOU DON'T GIVE A PREGNANT WOMAN A FUCKING BEAR HUG! YOU WANNA KILL THE LITTLE FUCKER IN HER?!" she yelled at him.

I could only laugh at the scene in front of me as my father picked himself back up. "Why you gotta go and kick me?!" he sobbed with tears in his eyes.

"Because, you're a damn idiot." she spat coldly.

Giggling more, I walked to him and gently patted his head as I kissed his cheek. "I missed you too, daddy." I told him.

He looked up at me before looking down at my stomach. "I see, a boy huh?" he asked.

I nodded my head with a smile. "Yep."

"And the father?"

"…My baby has no dad." I said lowly.

"How can he not have a father? Obviously he was created with sperm-"

He soon shrieked when a knife came between him and I.

"Shut. UP!" my mother snapped at him.

Shutting his mouth up, he nodded to my mother before I looked over at her with a grin. "NICE AIM!"

So, it was later on that night, and we were eating dinner that my father prepared for us. He made us his famous raw lamb heart smoother with blood.

"YUMMY!" I smiled, poking at a vein before chewing it.

I looked over at Kakuzu, who was counting the money in his metal briefcase. "Aren't you gonna try some?" I asked him.

He looked at me before going to continue his money again. "I don't eat none of the shit this bastard makes." he said dully.

"I HAVE YOU KNOW I TAKE MY TIME COOKING FOR MY FAMILY!" daddy yelled. "YOU UNGREATFUL ASSHOLE!" he yelled.

"…So, like I said, I don't eat none of the shit this bastard makes, and he gets really bitchy when I don't."

I laughed a little and my mother sighed. "Honestly, I remember when you used to kill innocent people for the fun of it. What happen to the man that kidnapped me?" she said, glaring at him.

"I think he left when you started beating his confidents away." Kakuzu said.

"Possibly." she said before shaking her head. "You disappoint me." she told him.

Once again he started to sob. "You're so mean to me, Raven!"

"COME ON DAD! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR BALLS?!" I stood up, glaring at him.

He only cried harder. "YOUR MOTHER BEAT THEM DOWN TOO!"

My sweat dropped and I looked at her. "You raised my father to be some type of bitch…I think all females should look up to you!" I grinned.

She grinned back before playing with my hair. "Aren't you sweet, but I don't think so. If I do, it'll be back to the Amazonian Women again. Besides, a man should feel like they have some sort of control in the relationship."

"SO WHERE'S MY CONTROL?!" father asked with a frown.

My mother laughed coldly at him, placing her hand under her chin. "Who said you were a man?"

I laughed more at that as her and my father began to argue. So…this is what I missed for over 10 years. Sure, they may not be a perfect family, but it's my family, and I loved them, the way they act, I loved it all. I liked a home cook meal once in awhile, I like having my brother next to me not paying attention to the feud. And most importantly-

I was soon drawn away from thoughts as I saw my mother sock the shit out of my father, and he feel on the floor instantly, twitching. Kakuzu looked up from his money.

"…You just got bitched." he said before counting again.

I smiled more as I looked up at my mother. 'I just love the way you are, mommy. You're the one who makes this family…'I touched my stomach lightly at the thought of my mother.

"It's too bad to see you guys leave" I said with a sad pout.

It was about 12am, I understand that they needed to leave. They had to get back to the waterfall village.

"Don't worry, we'll be back hopefully."

My mother was the only one with me. My father and brother were up ahead, arguing and bickering. I nodded my head with a smile and gently held her hand with my own. "I want you to see and meet him one day. You are his grandmother." I told her.

She smiled back at me. "I'll be there for when he's born…and I'll be sure to tell Hidan too."

My eyes widen when she said that. "H-How-"

"I can smell his scent still lingering on you. You may not know it, but you have clamed him to be your mate. You're scent has changed to be a mixture of his with yours. It only happens when you are pregnant with that persons baby. It'll go away a month after you give birth."

Still shocked, I asked her "Please…don't tell Hidan. I don't want him anywhere near me and my baby."

She stared at me. "Are you sure? Don't you need him to help you out?"

I rolled my eyes. "Mommy, I'm grown…with money. Besides, once he's born, I'm going to the waterfall village with you guys." I smiled.

"Why not just come with us right now?"

My smiled dropped. "Huh?"

"Well, why are you leaving the Leaf?"

"Because of the too many hurtful memories-"

"Then why don't you just get it over with and come with us right now. Why wait another 3 months?"

"…" I don't know why. I mean, she has a point…but…I just don't know.

"I don't know why?" I told her.

"I'll tell you why, because you still keep to your memories. This is your home. And just because we are your family doesn't mean that these people aren't more of family to you than us. You love your memories, good, bad, horrible, you just cant walk away from them…" she told me.

"M-Mommy…" my eyes watered up. "T-Then what made you leave the Leaf?"

"…" She sighed. "I left the leaf because of the pain I caused everyone. I don't even know why I brought Kakuzu in this ridiculing village."

"…So…why did you leave me?" I asked. "I-I wanted to be with you guys. I didn't want to stay in this village! Mommy, I'm a fucking whore!" I cried "Maybe, if I went with you guys Hidan and I could have…we could have…" I sobbed harshly, covering my face. "I love him mommy! I was willing to give up everything for him! To be with him! A-And he was engaged all this time!" I wiped my tears away, only for them to continue to leak through.

Mom stared at me before grabbing me in an embrace. "It hurts, I know it hurt. It's just the clans curse being pass down to you since you are a woman. But you cant cry over spilt milk. Besides, things happen for a reason. I left you for a reason, and that was because…my little girl is a strong woman now."

I looked up at her to see her smiling down at me, sniff in my tears and puckered my lips out. "MOMMY!" I cried trying to smooch her.

She quickly held me back by my shoulder after breaking her embrace on me. "Uhm, no."

"BUT MOMMY!"

"I SAID NO!" She hit me on the head "NOW CUT IT OUT!" she yelled.

I sighed out, holding my head in pain and shook that off. All that time with my mother finally made me realize something.

"Hey, mommy, I know what to name him."

She looked at me confusedly. "Did you now? Already?" she asked.

I nodded my head. "It may not be unique, and it may not be original, but he's named after a person just like that." I smiled. "His name…Saito Rayven."
