The next chapter is up!!! ^_^ Hope you love it! Please let me know and Review as always!

In Suna…

The two walked through the gates of Suna quietly. The streets were calm and only a few people were outside. It was rather cool outside. Saya looked up at the tower and smiled. She couldn't wait to see her family. They both went to the main office of the tower where everyone was. Gaara went in first and everyone looked up at him. He smiled faintly and Saya walked in. Everyone's eyes widened. Ryuzaki grinned and ran over to his mother, who scooped him up and into her arms, hugging him tightly. He returned the hug and sighed happily.

"I told them you would come back!"

She grinned happily.

"I love you Ryuzaki," she said into his ear.

The little boy smiled.

"I love you too!" he yelled hugging her again.

She put him down softly and hugged the twins. She had barely put them down when Temari tackled her.

"I love you so much! Don't you ever do that crap again! I will personally beat the hell out of you!" she laughed through her tears.

Saya smiled as tears fell down her cheeks.

"I love you too and I'll try to work on not dying anymore," she said making the two girls giggle.

Next Kankuro pulled her into a big hug.

"Hey try not to die anymore. I am too used to your cooking. It would be just wrong to make me suffer Temari's cooking again!" he said.

They all laughed and Temari smiled making Kankuro chuckle nervously. He was getting it later. Kat hugged Saya tightly.

"It was hell here without you!" she said smiling.

Saya returned the hug tightly. They all hung out for awhile before going to their separate rooms. Saya kissed Ryuzaki on the forehead and tucked him in. He smiled.

"Have a goodnight mom…" he whispered sleepily.

Saya smiled big.

"Goodnight love…sweet dreams…" she whispered rubbing his head and backing away.

Gaara stepped up to his son ruffling his hair and kissing his forehead softly.

"Goodnight Ryuzaki…sleep well…" he said gently before turning around and shutting off the light and closing the door.

Gaara and Saya went into their room and Saya threw herself on the bed. She was so happy to be home. She let her eyes close softly taking in the gentle breeze of the night through the open window. Gaara let his gourd fall to the floor and lay on the bed next to her. She turned over to him and kissed his lips quickly. He was startled at her sudden act and opened his eyes meeting hers. She smiled at him and he smiled slightly. She leaned down, slower this time, giving him time, and pressed her lips gently against his.

He was ready this time and returned the kiss, letting his hands take hold of her shoulders and holding it for awhile. Saya smiled into his mouth and nuzzled his neck tenderly. He nuzzled her as well and their foreheads touched. They stared at each other for a while and Saya shivered slightly. Gaara raised an eye before pulling her closer to him.

She immediately felt warm and cozy in his grip. She cuddled next to him and rested her head by his neck. He closed his eyes burying his face in her hair taking in her scent. A cold breeze came through the window and this time they both shivered. They got up pulling off the covers and lying beneath them. Saya snuggled into her pillow and moved closer to Gaara. He smiled wrapping his arm around her and pulling her into him so now their noses were touching. She giggled softly. He let his lips softly kiss her nose and she giggled again. He trailed them down to her cheek and then to her chin.

She smiled at the small kisses he gave her. When their eyes met again, the pain in his eyes was gone…or at least hidden well. Their feet were entangled and their bodies were pressed close together. Saya closed her eyes slowly. Gaara watched her fall asleep in his arms before he too closed his eyes.

Dream…

He was watching her as she cried. He saw himself kneeling next to her and he too had tears trickling down his face. In her arm was a small body. Saya held him tightly to her chest as she cried hysterically.

"How could you not save him?!" she roared.

Gaara's eyes widened.

"Whose body was that?" he thought quietly.

The other Gaara wiped his eyes.

"What would you have me do?! He ran out in front of me!" the other Gaara cried.

Gaara's eyes widened when he saw the body of his son. Saya shuddered.

"Don't you dare lie to me!" she roared.

"You know he did no such thing! You ordered the assassination because you were afraid that he would rule when you could not!" she screamed.

Gaara's eyes grew wide. The other Gaara grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her up, throwing her against the wall. She let out a scream as her body connected with it roughly. Gaara walked towards the two ready to stop it when he realized he wasn't getting any closer to them. He froze when he saw the sand wrap around her leg holding her in place.

"Let me go to my son!" she yelled crying.

The other Gaara glared at her and smacked her across the face making Gaara cringe and rage.

"It needed to be done Saya! Ryuzaki is not cut out to be the Kazekage! It had to be done!" he reasoned.

Saya struggled against his sand.

"He was our son you son of a bitch! You killed him! You're just like your father!" she roared through her tears.

Gaara felt his heart stop. The other Gaara's sand wrapped up her body and began to tighten. Her eyes widened.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled and Gaara started to try to get to them again.

The other Gaara smirked.

"I'm sending you to be with your son…" he said evilly.

Saya closed her eyes.

"I-I thought you were capable of love…I was wrong…" she murmured.

The other Gaara smirked.

"Yes...don't you feel so helpless?" he asked, not her, but turned to face the real Gaara.

Gaara's eyes widened. The other Gaara closed his hand and Saya screamed. Gaara cried out in shock and pain.

End Dream.

Gaara shot up in the bed panting. Sweat trickled down his face, chest, and back. Saya's eyes opened quickly when she felt her husband fly up in bed. She lifted herself up and touched his shoulder lightly causing him to flinch and look at her. His eyes were wide in distress but when he saw her he seemed to realize it was just a horrible dream. His eyes lowered and he let his forehead lean against hers as his hands rose to grab her cheeks softly. He was trembling slightly but seemed to already be calming down just holding her.

"You know…" he swallowed hard.

"You know I would never do anything to hurt you or Ryuzaki?" he asked finally looking into her eyes.

Saya frowned.

"I know that Gaara, you don't have to tell me," she murmured softly.

"Please believe me when I say I will never follow in my father's footsteps…" he said his voice cracking.

Saya shook her head.

"You'll never be your father Gaara. He was an evil man and you are not," she said quietly, holding onto his shoulders tighter.

He nodded slowly and rested his head on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around him hugging him close. Then she did something unexpected. She chuckled. He pulled away looking at her confused. She looked at him.

"We've been through a lot these past few years haven't we?" she chuckled again.

Gaara looked down reliving the past years.

"Hai…" he said quietly.

Saya smiled.

"We've changed so much. Remember when we were twelve?" she asked giggling.

Gaara thought about it.

"We were in the Chuunin Exams together…" he murmured.

Saya nodded.

"You were such a different person back then," she whispered more to herself then him.

He stared at her.

"I was not myself back then. I was living the life of the Shukaku…" he said still staring at her.

Saya nodded.

"And when we were fifteen?" she said sadly.

Gaara nodded slowly remembering when they all came to rescue him.

"We didn't get to you in time…" she said painfully.

"That was one of the worst days of my life Gaara…just to see you lying there…gone…" she said as tears fell down her cheeks.

He raised his hand gently wiping away some tears from her eyes. She chuckled.

"I hate when you're in pain, but to see you dead…I never want to see that again…I saw it twice…never again."

Gaara smiled slightly. They had changed.

"You changed so much Gaara," she murmured softly.

He looked at her.

"You went from someone that was forced to harbor a malicious monster that made you do terrible things, to a Kazekage, a leader of the people who gained control over the monster and tried to turn your life around, only to have it taken from you. Then to come back and be a best friend, a husband, a father, a brother, a leader. You worked so hard to get where you are and I'm so proud of you," she whispered.

He stared at her wide eyed for a while.

"To think that you could possibly turn out anything like your father and hurt me or Ryuzaki is absurd. I know you Gaara, believe it or not, you are the world to both me and our son and I know you'd never leave us behind," she whispered.

Gaara couldn't find words to describe what he was feeling. They never spoke like this. They usually never had the time.

"Are you alright? You're looking a little dazed," she said slightly concerned.

He shook it off.

"I'm fine…it's just…do you like the person I've become?" he asked almost inaudibly.

Saya became serious.

"Actually…no…" she said softly.

Gaara stared at her, pain flickering in his eyes and then leaving as quickly as it came. Saya grabbed his shoulder tightly and smiled up at him.

"I love the person you've become…" she said loud enough for him to hear it clearly.

His head snapped up and his wide eyes met her soft ones.

"What?" he asked softly.

She smiled grinning at him in the dark. He let a small smile cross his lips.

"What did you ever see in someone like me?" he whispered.

Saya smiled happily.

"I saw…hope…" she murmured hugging him delicately and laying her head on his shoulder.

His eyes remained wide.

"I truly believed you were capable of more then everyone said…that you were more then just a weapon…I saw you for who you were not for what you would be used for. You captured my heart and you didn't even have to try. Not very becoming of a shinobi huh?" she said slightly embarrassed.

Gaara shook his head slowly.

"You saw me for who I was. You found me. No one has ever tried that hard to connect with me…" he said quietly.

Saya smiled.

"I told you…I saw hope for you…you just needed a chance…to be loved."

She smiled up at his expression. Her smile faded slowly.

"I'm not taking all the credit though…you saved me too…" she murmured seeming to go deep in thought.

Gaara stared at her, waiting for her to continue. She took a deep breath.

"I had friends but I was alone. I never really had the life I had dreamt of but I wasn't picky and was happy with what I got. But you…you were the one thing I knew I wanted and would have to work my butt off for especially when you became Kazekage…" she sighed exaggerating.

"I mean, did you make it your personal mission to make it difficult for me?" she laughed and he smiled.

"All those women chasing after you, the responsibility of being the Kazekage's wife is not easy but I'm glad I'm here and not someone else," she murmured blushing faintly.

Gaara smirked.

"You make it seem like it was a contest," he said.

Saya nodded.

"It was…not for you but for us poor women, each one trying to look better then the other. It was painful…" she laughed.

Gaara looked down. Saya smiled.

"Do you ever wish that you could go back and change the past?" she asked drifting into her own little world.

His answer brought her out of it abruptly.

"I used to want to start over…but now…I don't think I would change anything…" he murmured.

Saya eyed him wide eyed and curious.

"You would not change anything? Why not?" she asked shocked by his answer.

He smiled faintly.

"I have a feeling that if I changed my past I wouldn't have met you and I think you were worth it. I've suffered a lot in my years, but you seem to make the bad things disappear…" he said more thinking to himself then meaning to say it out loud.

When he realized he did it was his turn to blush faintly.

"You see what you do to me?" he asked looking away blushing.

She giggled and threw her arms around him.

"It's just me silly, you can show some feeling when you're with me!" she laughed.

He smiled letting his arms wrap around her waist tightly and pulled her into a hug. They stood like that for a while. She kissed his neck softly and soon there was a soft knock at the door. Saya furrowed her eyebrows and the door opened slowly. Ryuzaki poked his head in and walked to their bed sleepily.

"I had a bad dream…" he said quietly looking at his parents.

Gaara sighed and Saya chuckled, scooping up the small boy and putting him in bed with them. He crawled to his usual spot right in the middle of them and snuggled into a ball. Saya kissed Gaara gently and they both joined their son lying down. Ryuzaki cuddled between them both as they surrounded him. The three fell asleep almost immediately.

Later That Night…

A small knock at the door woke Gaara from his peaceful slumber and he opened his eyes to see his son snuggled up against Saya. She had her arms wrapped around him protectively. He smiled to himself and another knock on the door made him lift himself up and rub his eyes. He looked outside to see it was still dark out.

"Come in…" he said tiredly and two heads poked in smiling devilishly.

He smiled slightly seeing his niece and nephew. They ran in and jumped on the bed climbing under the covers with the family.

"What are you doing?" Gaara asked softly seeing the kids lay down and close their eyes.

Hisa spoke first.

"Can we sleep in here? It's not morning just yet and we can't sleep…" she whispered.

Gaara frowned faintly.

"Why can't you sleep?" he asked innocently.

Haru spoke next.

"Mother and Father are wrestling in bed and they're really very loud. We thought they were fighting but then they kissed a couple of times before going back to wrestling…" he mumbled grumpily.

Hisa folded her arms.

"Yeah more like ate each others faces off…" she groaned tiredly.

They both looked to their uncle with puppy dog eyes.

"Please Uncle Gaara can we stay here for the rest of the night?" they asked in unison.

Gaara groaned seeing not much space left in the bed but nodded in defeat. The two kids cheered quietly and lay down almost instantly asleep. Gaara made a mental note to have a talk about Temari's and Shikamaru's "wrestling" matches. He lay down and Hisa immediately curled up next to him. He smiled softly feeling his eyes get heavy and looked over the bed once more seeing his wife, son, and niece and nephew all asleep in the bed. His eyes closed and he fell asleep.
