Two Weeks Later:
Yoshino rolls around restlessly in her bed, peering into the next room where the babies are sleeping. She pulls her warm blankets around her tighter and shivers. "What's wrong, Yoshino?" a voice asks from behind her.
The dark haired woman turns over to see Kushina standing in the doorway with a robe on. Yoshino sighs, "It's nothing, Kushina."
"You miss him, don't you?" Kushina asks quietly. She slowly approaches her friend.
A tear rolls down her cheek as the Nara nods and sits up in bed. Kushina sits down on the bed and wraps the other woman in a tight hug. Yoshino cries against her friend's dark red robe. "I miss Shikaku so much," she says tearfully. "It's so lonely."
Kissing Yoshino on the forehead, Kushina wipes her tears away gently. "I know, dear." She holds her and slowly rocks back and forth while rubbing her back. She softly wipes away more of the tears. She whispers, "Let it all out." The other woman buries her face against Kushina's shoulder. The red head hums a song to soothe her when she feels a pair of lips touching her cheek. She looks over to see a very tired Minato. He softly kisses her and wraps his arms around both of them.
He whispers as he holds them, "Kushina, do you have any thoughts on how we can fix this problem?"
Kushina replies quietly as she softly strokes Yoshino's hair, "She is helping us raise the children, so she is part of the family. That Yamanaka woman has already given up any claims to being Ino's mother and the rest of the clans have disowned the children for holding the demons. Nobody else wants to take care of them. The Aburame and Inuzuka would, but their animals can smell the foxes' scents on the children and attack. I think she should join the family legally so that she is under our protection."
The Fourth Hokage nods slowly and looks down at the crying woman. He lifts her chin and asks while looking into her eyes, "Will you marry me, Yoshina Nara, and become Yoshina Uzumaki?" Yoshino's eyes dart to the Hokage's wife.
Kushina smiles and whispers, "Are you willing to be Minato's second wife and my partner in marriage? There is no law against multiple wives. Most wives are just against it because they get jealous. I have no problems since you are my best friend." The two Uzumakis look at her with understanding gazes.
The darker haired woman slowly nods and whispers, "I will." The two hug her tightly and lets her cry on their shoulders. The tears of loneliness are gone to be replaced with tears of joy.
One Month Later:
People crowd into the Chunin Exam stadium dressed in their best. Flowers line the rows and two large organs are placed on either side of the stadium. A long red carpet rolls from the entrance of the stadium to the center where the Uzumaki couple and their bridesmaids and best man stand. They had trouble finding a man worthy of performing the ceremony, but they managed to find one.
A certain masked Jonin stands next to Minato dressed in a tuxedo. Kakashi murmurs, "Didn't you do this already, sensei?"
"A second time couldn't hurt," Minato replies with a smirk. Kakashi's eye twinkles as scenes of Icha Icha flash through his mind. Minato continues knowingly, "Also, if you continue in that line of thought, I am going to stick an exploding tag in the center of the latest volume of your favorite book." Kakashi pales under his mask and shuts his mouth with an audible snap. Kushina stands on the other side of Minato with a wedding dress on. She straightens Minato's bow tie and smiles. The music begins to play.
Everyone in the large building stands to see the new bride. Yoshino Nara slowly comes down the aisle with Jiraiya holding her arm. He winks to Minato, who gives him a glare promising much pain later if he tries anything. The Sannin thinks, 'Lucky dog! You are truly my pupil for scoring two hot babes!'
Yoshino ignores the Sannin and blushes at how beautiful Kushina looks and how handsome Minato is. She looks down at her pure white dress and frowns slightly as memories of her previous wedding with Shikaku rush back to her. Jiraiya puts a hand over hers and smiles encouragingly. She smiles back and walks forward with a bit more confidence. A young purple haired girl scatters pink cherry blossoms over the red carpet as she walks down in front of the approaching couple. She pauses briefly to pull up her shirt a little more to hide an odd scar on her neck.
Ibiki shifts uncomfortably in his formal robe as he holds up a few sheets of paper. Yoshino lets go of Jiraiya's arm and he sits down in the front row of all the chairs. She walks over to the area across from the Uzumakis with a thin veil covering her face. She smiles nervously but happily.
The head of torture and interrogation clears his throat and starts reciting the vows, the trio repeating after him. Minato and Kushina hold a ring together and slide it onto Yoshino's finger. They say their "I do's" and Ibiki announces loudly, "I now pronounce you man, wife, and wife! You may kiss the brides, Lord Hokage!" Minato lifts both Kushina's and Yoshino's veil. He pulls Kushina into a passionate kiss and than turns to Yoshino. She exchanges a glance with Kushina, who nods. Yoshino wraps her arms around Minato's neck and kisses him passionately and lingeringly on the lips. He grins and kisses her back. Fireworks go off both in their minds and outside the stadium.
Finally breaking off the kiss, he glances at both of his wives and promises, "Tonight." They both nod excitedly and each takes one of his arms. He walks down the red carpet while the stadium goes wild, throwing flowers and cheering. Jiraiya lets out a loud whistle and throws one of book at his pupil. Kushina catches it, reads the title, and growls angrily.
Jiraiya calls, "Read it before tonight! I promise you'll thank me!" Kushina thinks about it, and against her better judgment, puts slips it into Minato's tuxedo as they walk.
Kushina leans over and whispers to Yoshino, "We're both taking care of the kids and we share Minato." Yoshino smiles and nods quickly in agreement.
