Chapter 7 In Konoha...
Naruto and Hinata just moved into Sakura's old house. She had insisted they live there instead of it going to waste. After all, they were soon-to-be parents. It had everything they needed and and the mortgage had already been paid. It was all theirs, though, at the back of Naruto's mind, it should have been Sakura's. Naruto and his pregnant girl were going to sleep in the room that Sakura's parents used to sleep; the baby was going sleep in the old guest room, right beside the parents. Sakura's room remained untouched in case she ever decided to move back.
Most of her stuff was gone, however. The fox container patted his girlfriend's stomach and started whispering to their baby, something, which Hinata could not hear.
"Naruto, I have to go train my genin," Hinata said, glad that she hardly ever stuttered anymore.
Naruto nodded and as she left, Naruto set to work his master plan.

"I don't know what to do!" Ino exclaimed at Tenten as the pregnant woman clasped her hands over her ears at the blonde's noise level.
"Choji is such a sweet guy, he'll be thrilled. So stop panicking, will ya?" Tenten and Ino never saw eye-to-eye but she felt that she might as well reassure the girl.
They usually argued, espeicially when Ino almost told Neji that Tenten was pregnant before the mother could herself.
Then her thoughts drifted to Ino's bestfriend, Sakura, they never talked much before but they had become extremely close recently.
"Right! I've decided!" the blonde announced.
"Finally," the weapon-mistress muttered, Ino's loudness was disturbing the baby.
"I'll tell Choji... Aragatou!" and with that Ino ran off to tell her new boyfriend.
***
"Hi Choji," called Ino sweetly as she waved at him and jogged up.
"There's something I have to tell you..."
'Oh!' Choji thought, 'What could it be? She sounds worried. Is she breaking up with me?'
"I'm..."
'Tell me, please stop torturing me'
"...Pregnant."
"Yes!" Choji jumped up for joy and lifted up Ino, running through the village, shouting, "I'm going to be a dad!"
'Good... he's not going to dump me. Tenten was right'
'Wahoo! She's not breaking up with me'
'I'm going to be a mom'
'I'm going to be a dad'
'With the one I love'
'With the one I love'

Shikamaru looked down at the tiny person cradled in his arms.
He was rocking back and forth in his special seat and said to his baby, "Look Mia, those are clouds. Like uncle Choji. I'll make sure you're first word is cloud. You'll watch them with your daddy everyday, won't you."
"Stop trying to mould her into your image," said his fiancee, who strolled up the steps.
"It's inevitable..."
Shikamaru looked at Temari and gave her a small smile, one that she had fallen in love with.
"Soon it'll be three Shikamarus' against one Temari."
"Three?"
"Me, Mia and Cloud."
"Cloud?"
"That's what I wanna call our son..."
"Huh? Who told you I was pregnant? I haven't told anyone yet."
"You're pregnant?" said Shikamaru.
Temari froze.
'I'm too smart'
He sat up and gave Temari room to sit beside him. He looked at his daughter again looking forward to having another one.
"Maybe I'm more active than I thought," he chukled and Temari punched his arm lightly.
She took Mia from her father and cradled the baby in her arms. Shikamaru rocked the three (or four) of them gently, making it seem like the perfect scene to anyone watching them.

Kakashi rubbed Kuranai's stomach lightly, making sure he did not wake her as she napped.
He thought of his three students... Sasuke was like a younger brother, he hoped he would see the light and return to Konoha. He remembered meeting Sasuke before the massacre.
The little boy looked up at Kakashi with his stunning onyx eyes. The eighteen year old knelt down beside him asking his name though he already had a feeling he knew his last name. He looked like a youinger version of Itachi the main difference being the innocent smile.
"My name's Sasuke," the boy said brightly.
'Uchiha Sasuke. He just started the academy'
Kakashi then told him to run along and glanced one more time at him, not realising that he would be a powerful shinobi.
Kakashi sighed, his parents' death changed Sasuke completely, or at least he thought that. Then he remembered almost seeing that smile when when Sasuke looked at his teammates, or when Kakashi had given him a present for his thirteenth birthday. Kakashi realised that maybe, just maybe, Sasuke would return.

Naruto had everything planned, convinced that this would work. He went up to his room to finish preparing.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Four clones popped up, taking a word each: WILL-YOU-MARRY-ME?
They all grinned at him and took their places at the foot of the bed. Naruto was too busy humming to notice Hinata coming in the door and entering the living room.
Her face lit up when she saw a tiny box opened on the coffee table with a beautiful engagement ring in it. She picked it up and walked to the bottom of the stairs from which Naruto was now tumbling down landing on top of Hinata.
"S-sorry," they both stuttered (yeah Naruto stuttered).
The box had slipped out of Hinata's hand and Naruto spotted it.
"Aww... you found it," then he started saying things too quickly for Hinata to understand, something about clones and dinner.
She sniffed, "Naruto, do you smell burning?"
A dramatic "NO!" followed...
He raced to the kitchen to see a black lump that was supposed to be their dinner. Hinata went to their room to see four cards on the floor making the sentence: YOU-ME?-MARRY-WILL Naruto groaned again, smacking his forehead, "Those idiots."
Then he realised that those idiots were technically him and he hung his head in shame thinking that he was one big idiot. Tears streamed down Hinata's face.
"I'm sorry Hinata, I wanted it to be perfect."
Hinata hugged him tightly, arms wrapped around his neck, "Hai! I will! I will marry you!"
Naruto's tears fell, he was overjoyed.
"BELIEVE IT!!!" he yelled triumphantly.
Then both their stomachs grumbled loudly.
"To the ramen shop!" exclaimed Hinata as they both ran to Naruto's favourite place to eat. He didn't mention that she stole his line; he did not care. Him and Hinata were living together, have kids together, and were going to marry each other.
Sakura: That is soooo sweet...
Naruto: I'm going to marry Hinata!
Me: I liked writing that chapter, espeicially the ShikaTema part
Sakura: That was nice
Me: Yeah I know...
Naruto: (rolling eyes) Girls...
Sakura and Me: (glaring daggers at Naruto)
Naruto: Ah! (cowers behind Sasuke)
Sasuke: (rolls eyes) Loser
Me: (thumbs up) Shikamaru is one of my favourites and Kakashi!
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Me: Go Kakashi, go Kakashi... (etc.)
