RECAP: Sorry it's taken me so long but my internet went down I got suer sick and very much distracted but sorry :]

3 was staring at Itachi. It felt like a dream and she was frozen.

"Sorry I couldn't come earlier."

Finally she was able to walk again and she ran over to him. She hugged him and he hugged her back. He was still almost a head taller than her. Sakura and Sasuke decided to leave them for a little. They took Deidara with and the three of them went to reorganize the surgeries that 3 was supposed to performing. 3 finally loosened her grip on Itachi.

"You came back."

"I told you I would."

"I know...it's been a long time though."

"I did my best Kin. I swear."

"I know you did. I-I still-"

"I love you too Kin."

Itachi kissed her and she tightened her arms around him again. He broke the kiss a little later.

"You're a full blown doctor now."

"A lot has changed since we were 15."

"We? When I was 15 I wasn't even here."

"Oh yeah. Sometimes I kind of forget about your age."

"What else is new?"

MEANWHILE

Sakura and Sasuke had reorganized the board with Deidara and were showing him around. His robe had scared more people than he thought. He felt very proud of himself for being so feared with just a cloak. Sakura had to take the two of them to Tsunade so they went back and go Itachi. 3 stayed behind since Sakura was gone. They got a lot of looks on the way over but Deidara didn't really care, it wasn't his village. Itachi on the other hand was starting to feel just awful about himself wit every persons disgust. Finally they were walking up to Tsunade's office. All the surrounding ninja were freaking out but Sasuke reassured them that they were fine. Sakura knocked on Tsunade's door and she told them to come in. Shizune almost passed out when she saw them but Tsunade didn't let her emotions show.

"We were just making sure they're OK to stay here."

"And by here you mean the village correct?"

"Correct."

"I know Itachi is fine but the girl maybe not. Where're you from miss?"

Deidara just walked out. Clearly upset at Tsunade assumption. Itachi laughed a little, Sasuke and Sakura did too. Tsunade didn't know what she'd done wrong. Still laughing a little Sakura explained.

"Lady Tsunade, that's Deidara, he's not a girl."

"...I knew that..."

"Mhm. I'll go get him."

Sakura got Sasuke to go get Deidara.

"So where's he from then?"

"He's Iwagakure."

"Hmm...yeah I don't think he can stay long...if we tell the elders he's here."

"You're the best."

"I know I am. Tell anyone and I'll burn your feet."

And now everyone knew where she got her ultimate punishment from. They left Tsunade's office. Sakura said Itachi could stay with them but there wasn't enough room for Deidara so they were asking Naruto. That also meant that Deidara got to meet Naruto, Gaara and Naru. Of course Naruto and Gaara already knew who he was. Sasuke escorted them back to the training grounds. The whole way over getting weird looks that Deidara was loving. Naruto and Gaara were civil to Deidara seeing as Naru was around. Naru didn't care at all as to who he was. Itachi was showing Naru a few more tricks with Deidara as Sasuke asked Naruto a favor.

"Naruto, remember that time I got you barbeque?"

"...Yeah?"

"Well now you owe me one. Itachi brought Deidara with him...we don't have room for him..."

"Oh hell no."

"Please, he's traveling with Itachi and no ones supposed to know he's here, he can't stay at a hotel. Please."

"...OK but, I get eight free meals from you at where I choose."

"Agreed."

"Awesome, now Naru needs to take the rest of the day off so we'll take Deidara back now."

Sasuke thanked them profusely and took Itachi and Naru home. Naruto watched as Sasuke carried Naru on his shoulders with Itachi talking her ear off. And now he was stuck with Deidara. Deidara was trying to be pleasant but he had never been very good at it. Naruto and Gaara took him back to their house and set up the guest room.

"...So you guys are roommates? Cousins? Friends?"

"We're married asshole."

"That's legal?"

"Are you against it, Deidara?"

"No, I just thought it was not legal, not where I come from."

"OK, well get over it."

"I am, sheesh...so what's the deal with Naru?"

"What do you mean?"

"...She's like 10 and Sasuke and Sakura are what like 26?"

"Yeah?"

"...Oh...well...yeah OK."

"It's not a bad thing. She wasn't even an accident. Don't act like she was."

"I'm not but they're young."

"...Just goto bed."

"Oh yeah thanks for letting me stay here and stuff."

"...Yeah..."

Naruto and Gaara went to their room and Deidara went to his. Itachi slept on the couch and everyone else was in their designated rooms. He heard someone knock and quickly got off of the couch. He approached the door cautiously and opened it fast. 3 jumped when he did and he calmed down and hugged her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Remember when you asked about what was new?"

"Yeah."

"Remember how I told you that I got a new apartment , new job and that was it?"

"Yeah, good for you."

"There's one more thing."

"What is it?"

"...Come with me."

3 took him to her apartment which was fairly far from Sakura and Sasuke's. They did get there soon enough. Itachi was thinking she'd bought a dog. She did always love pets. She showed him in, it was a pretty nice apartment. She guided him to what he was hoping was her bedroom. It was definitely a bedroom but definitely not hers. She held his hands and kissed him.

"...Itachi."

"Who's this?"

"...Your son."

"M-my son?"

"...Mhm. When we were together you left before I could know but I was pregnant."

"Oh my God..."

"Happy? Sad? In denial? Mad? Thinking of how you can get out of this? What are you thinking Itachi?"

"...I'm thinking I've been a terrible father."

"Ha, that's better than what I thought you'd say."

"What did you think I'd say?"

"I thought you might try and tell me that it wasn't yours it was some other guy's."

"...Are you saying there's a chance he could be someone else's?"

"Are you saying you want that?"

"No I was just wondering if...you moved on."

"No, there's no chance."

Itachi hugged her and kissed her again.

"So what's his name?"

"I named him after your father."

"...Seriously?..."

"No...I know you hated his name so I made it his middle name. His first name is your best friend's name Shisui."

"Thank goodness. I've always hated the name Fugaku."

"I know...so do you want to stick around until he wakes up?"

"Of course. I'm just sad I missed out on the first ten years of his life."

"...I've told him about you...it was risky because I wasn't sure if you'd be back but...now he can match all of those achievements to a face."

"So he thinks I'm a hero..."

"You are one."

"...No...no I'm not. I killed my whole clan."

"You had to!"

"Shhh! You'll wake him up."

"But you are. Quit saying you're not."

"I bet you he wouldn't think I was a hero if you told him about me leaving."

"He's too young to understand all of that."

"I know he is...so what does he like?"

"You."

"He hasn't ever met me."

"But he knows his father is a great man and ninja."

"What else?"

"He really likes being in the academy. Trying to follow in your footsteps."

"...He looks like you."

"No he doesn't he's a spitting image of you."

"Really?"

"Look at him. It's like looking at a picture of you when you were ten."

Itachi got closer to Shisui.

"...OK now I see it."

He looked above his bed. There was picture of him from when he and 3 met tacked up right above his headboard.

"...That's me."

"Mhm. Let's goto sleep."

"Yeah, it's late."

They left Shisui's room and Itachi started to fix up the couch for himself.

"No no no. Come on."

"...I don't think we should."

"Relax, I don't think we should either but that couch is so very uncomfortable."

"...OK but seriously I want to get to know you again before-"

"I know I know me too."

"OK."

3 and Itachi climbed into bed. Itachi put his arms around her. It reminded both of them of their first time together. They fell asleep fast and stayed asleep.
