RECAP: I'm getting to lazy for these just read the last chapter please.

Naruto and Gaara woke up after everyone yet again. Everyone else had gotten up to see the baby who was supposed to be there in about 30 minutes. They had for some reason let the two of them sleep in. After getting they got dressed Sakura came over with the baby. Temari held her for a while and so did Kankuro. Gaara was keeping a close eye on both of them. After Kankuro and Matsuri had held her they handed her to Gaara. Temari got to talk to Sakura for a while.

"Did it really hurt that bad?"

"Oh God yes it was awful!"

"Worth it though right?"

"Of course it was."

"But you're so young."

"Well yeah but I mean look at her."

"...I guess I'll understand when I have a kid."

"When? No offense but I thought you didn't really like kids."

"...I've been kind of thinking about them lately-"

"Shikamaru?"

"I was just thinking! Sheesh!"

"Don't get all defensive. We both know you loooooooove him."

"Ugh."

The phone rang and Temari answered it.

Shikamaru had called and invited Temari to lunch. She had no idea where she was going and Shikamaru had already left his house so Naruto offered to walk her. Sakura said bye to Temari and decided she better go home too, she'd been pretty tired ever since the baby came. Gaara offered to walk her home. Gaara was holding the baby carrier for Sakura.

"I don't why but I've been real tired lately."

"It's probably because you just had a baby."

"But I thought that only lasted for like a week afterwards."

"Well the like physical exhaustion lasts that long but taking care of a newborn is grueling, of course you're tired."

"I just wanna go home and shower and sleep."

They made it to Sasuke's apartment. Sakura walked in and called for Sasuke. Gaara put Naru in her crib and went out to say bye to Sakura.

"He's not here?"

"No, I forgot he had a mission."

"How long is it?"

"It's just a C rank he'll be home by like 5ish. Guess I can't shower til then."

"I can watch Naru while you shower."

"Really?"

"Of course, I'll be out here."

"Thanks Gaara."

Sakura went and got in the shower. Gaara stayed out on their couch listening for Naru. Gaara heard a loud thud and the sound of the shower curtain being pulled hard, maybe even off.

"Sakura?"

"I'm fine, just fell that's all."

"Can you get up?"

"Gimme a second."

Gaara heard the water shut off and heard Sakura attempting to get up.

"You OK?"

"I think I did something to my ankle and maybe even my arm."

"Want me to help?"

"You can't come in here! I'm not decent."

"Come on Sakura. If you try to get up like that you'll make it worse. Do you want to have to go back to the emergency room?"

"Well no but I'm not fond of the alternative...OK give me a second to cover my sel-OW! OK new plan, you help me out of this with your eyes closed."

"OK fine. Is there water everywhere?"

"Not really, I managed to keep most of it in the designated area. You won't slip."

"OK then, I'm coming in."

Gaara walked to bathroom shut his eyes and continued walking.

"Where are you Sakura?"

"Over here. You'll have to move the shower curtain around to get over here though."

"How do I do that with my eyes closed?"

"OK you can open them just keep your eyes down."

Gaara got the shower curtain out of the way.

"OK now help me out."

"Want me to grab a towel first."

"We'll do that once you help me out of this slippery hell."

"OK but I mean this could get uncomfortable."

"Just reach over here and grab my hand."

Gaara's eyes were still closed so Sakura's directions didn't really help at all. He found the edge of the tub with on hand and reached toward Sakura with another.

"Gaara!"

Gaara pulled his arm back as fast as possible and opened his eyes for a split second trying to get away.

"Did that feel like my arm Gaara?"

"You didn't exactly stop me."

"I thought you had better aim than that."

"Let's just get you out of the bath."

"OK this time you hold out your hand and I'll try and reach it."

"Deal."

Gaara closed his eyes again and put his hand in her general direction. With a lot of reaching Sakura managed to grab his hand with her good one. Gaara leaned a little closer to get a better hold on her. She put her good arm around him for stability and he put his arm around her waist and lifted her a few feet and out of the tub. Sakura took her arm off Gaara and leaned against the wall.

"OK now get a towel."

"Alright."

Gaara opened his eyes, grabbed a towel and did his best to help wrap it around her.

"OK so can you walk?"

"I thi-no no can't walk yet. I just need to lay down a little while or something."

"If you feel like you need to get that checked out you should."

"Seriously Gaara I'm fine. Can you help me to my room?"

"Yeah come on."

Sakura put her arm around Gaara and Gaara put his arm around her waist again and walked her to her room.

"Can you get dressed?"

"Yeah I think so."

"OK I'll be out there."

Gaara walked out and heard Sakura going through her clothes. He could hear her muttering from her room.

"...son of a...damn-that hurts..."

He was really hoping that she'd be able to do this but just to make sure she didn't further hurt her ankle or her arm he called out-

"Need help?"

"Uh...Sasuke should be home soon."

"What time?"

"I don't know within a few hours."

"So you could be sitting around in a towel for 3 hours?"

"Or it could be like half an hour."

"Just let me help you."

"Well getting my bra and shirt on was easy it's really just the bottoms, Sasuke'll be home soon though."

"Sakura I'm not gonna leave with you half naked.

Gaara walked in and she told him which clothes to get out.

MEANWHILE

Naruto had dropped Temari off where Shikamaru was supposed to be meeting her. Naruto left as soon as the ramen shop they were meeting at was in sight. She only waited a few minutes before Shikamaru got there. He greeted her with a kiss and they sat down to eat ramen.

"I saw the baby today."

"Baby?"

"Yeah, Sakura's. Haven't you?"

"Not yet, everyone here's been on missions non-stop."

"She's really cute."

"I bet."

"Do you want kids?"

"What?"

"Oh I uh...just wondering if you've...ever thought about kids that's all."

"Are you suggesting we have kids?"

"Not necessarily but ya know maybe..."

"Then yeah, I have thought about our kids."

"Really?"

"Yeah, haven't you?"

"Well, yeah I just thought it might freak you out."

"Why's that?"

"I don't know just seemed kind of early."

"I guess."

"Well considering we haven't even slept together, yeah maybe it's a little early for us to be having kids."

"Yeah, sorry. I just for some reason feel like I'm running out of time. Sakura and Sasuke have already started their family."

"Well they did it real early-wait a second, you're planning on us still being together long enough to get married and have kids."

"Well I had only gone as far as having kids but yeah, I guess I just kind of assumed we'd stay together."

"Wouldn't you want to be married before having kids?"

"What's the difference?"

"I don't know about you but for some reason people see me as kind of a whore. Having a kid before I get married would just confirm those assumptions. I don't get why people assume these things, I mean I'm still a virgin."

"Really?"

"Well don't sound so surprised."

"It's just I figured-"

"Everyone figures, and for the life of me i don't get why. I mean is it something I do?"

"Now that you mention it, no."

"Thank you, everyone back home thinks I sleep with everyone."

"Well if it makes you feel any better I'm still a virgin."

"Why, couldn't you get any girl you want?"

"That's not the point. I haven't fallen in love with anyone yet."

"...So you're still not in love with anyone?"

"Nope. No one but you."
