RECAP: Sorry it took so long, I got distracted by ouran
Shisui was up early for some reason. 3 heard him first and got up. He had his ninja tools together and was dressed.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"Training with uncle Sasuke and Naru."
"It's so early Shi. Go back to sleep."
"NEVER! If I'm gonna be as good as dad I have to train more. He's already 3 years ahead of me in academy graduation. If I'm going to be head of ANBU in 3 years I have to work even harder."
"...You really love your dad."
"Of course. He's my dad."
"Well I have a big surprise for you."
"Is it more ninja tools?"
"Nope."
"Is it a new TV?"
"Even better?"
"RAMEN!"
"...Ugh...you were closer with the TV."
"Well come on mom what is it?"
"I uh...OK...I'm not sure how to do this..."
"...Mom...you're not about to tell me I have a new dad right?"
"Oh oh God no. Come here."
"...This is starting to sound like bad news..."
"It's great news I just don't know how to tell you."
"Just say it mom I have to train."
Itachi had been listening and was watching them together on the couch, talking about him. He wasn't sure if she wanted him to come out or not so he stayed where he was.
"OK well your dad...is..."
"Mom is he still alive?"
"I'm so bad at giving news. OK your dad is here."
"...Here? Like in the village?"
"A little closer than that."
"...What?"
"He's in our apartment."
"...Mommy! This isn't funny!"
He jumped off of her lap and ran to the door. He couldn't reach the locks so she wasn't worried about him leaving.
"I'm not joking Shi."
"...You're not?"
"Why would I joke about that?"
"...I don't see him."
"Come on out Ita."
Itachi came out of her room and smiled at Shisui. He was stunned. 3 was waiting for him to react. Itachi didn't get any closer to him, he didn't want to scare him.
"...Dad?"
"Mhm."
"...Whoa..."
Itachi took a few steps towards him and got much closer. He knelt down and hugged him. He eventually sat down instead of kneeling pulling Shisui into his lap. 3 was smiling at them. Shisui could've stayed there forever. He still couldn't believe it though. He had to prove it. He jumped off of Itachi and went to grab the picture above his bed. He ran back in and held his picture up to Itachi's face.
"...Whoa...it really is you."
"Mhm."
Shisui hugged him again.
"What took you so long?"
He held him tighter. He had a son. 3 was watching them still, they were so cute together. She decided they needed to start catching up so she made breakfast, pancakes. They all ate, Itachi was starving he hadn't eaten since two days ago and he wore himself out yesterday from training Naru on empty. Once they were finished Shisui was going to go train. Itachi was coming with him. 3 figured she'd go too but she had to goto work. She said goodbye and they went to the hospital and training grounds. Itachi was carrying Shisui on his back like he used to do with Sasuke. When they got there Naru and Sasuke were there with Naruto, Gaara and Deidara. Sasuke saw them and waved. He walked over and got Shisui off of Itachi.
"Uncle Sasuke this is my dad."
"I know Shi. Glad you finally met him. Go on, Naru's waiting."
He smiled and ran toward Naruto and Naru. Sasuke said hi to Itachi.
"Did you know about him?"
"Yeah, I've known about him for about 10 years now actually."
"And so when I asked 'what's new?' you didn't think he was new?"
"I thought that 3 should tell you herself."
"3?"
"Oh that's what we've called Kin ever since we met her."
"Why?"
"Long story."
"I've got time."
"Well I had this mission and me and Gaara almost died. He came back easy but I stayed half dead for a while and Sakura of course was giving me all this treatment. Anyway her and this other intern were mad because they were performing all these tests on me not patients with a chance and Sakura called her 3. She said she didn't care enough to learn her name and she'd be the 3rd intern she'd fired in the first few weeks. Anyway that's how that got started."
"That wasn't that long."
"Whatever."
"So I have a son."
"I have a daughter."
"So's he a good ninja?"
"Let's just say he really takes after you."
"Ha!"
"Well I'm going down to the hospital with Sakura. What are you gonna do?"
"I'll stay here."
"Suit yourself."
Sasuke went down to the hospital. Itachi watched his son fight just like him. He couldn't believe how much he'd missed out on his life. It made him want to die. Shisui and Naru finally tired out from sparring with the three ninja who'd been going exceedingly easy on them. He ran up and hugged Itachi who pulled him into his lap. Naru walked over to them and sat down. Naruto and Gaara seemed to be getting into another fight with Deidara and were starting to actually fight. They started getting more and more dangerous so Itachi backed up with the kids. Finally it was over and Deidara was fried.
Itachi was laughing and watching the three of them with the two kids. Kankuro and Matsuri came up behind him and made him jump a little.
"GAARAAAAAAA!"
Gaara and Naruto turned around. Kankuro and Matsuri hadn't visited in about 5 months. Garra ran up and hugged them both Naruto did too. Naru started climbing all over Kankuro until she finally got to his shoulders.
"You're getting too big for me Naru."
"Am not. Where have you been?"
"Getting engaged."
Gaara gave him the best hug he could without shaking Naru off. Naruto hugged Matsuri then grabbed her hand and admired her new ring.
"Where's Temari?"
"At home."
"Well let's go see her."
"Alright we're done with training for today."
Deidara had gotten up and was listening in on their conversation. Vaguely remembered Temari from when he went to the sand he got excited.
"LET'S GO!"
"...Why are you so excited?"
"...Because...I...am-let's just go."
Itachi figured he'd go with. They walked to Shikamaru's house and Naru got off of Kankuro and ran to the door ahead of the others. Shisui ran after her trying to beat her to it. Shikamaru answer and as the kids hugged him he waved to others. The two of them ran inside, they could hear them scream 'Aunt Temari' as they did. Deidara started getting ahead of the others.
"Why are you so excited?"
"I've seen Temari and I've seen myself. I'm pretty sure I can steal her from him."
"They're married."
"Who cares?"
"Well she'd also...you're about to be very disappointed."
Temari came out and waved to them. Kankuro was eager to tell her about him and Matsuri. Deidara almost past out when he saw her, knowing he had no chance at this point. Gaara walked in with Naruto and hugged them both. Itachi and Deidara awkwardly walked in behind them. Temari got herself back on the couch. Matsuri sat next to her and Naru and Shisui climbed all over her being careful of Temari.
"Kankuro, Matsuri what took you two so long to get back down here. Last time I saw you I was still thin."
"You are still thin."
"...Seriously? I'm five months in, this is not thin."
"You're like those weird woman who are thin everywhere else then after they have it they lose all the weight before they even leave the hospital."
"...Thanks I think. So why did you take so long? I got worried about you."
"Why?"
"My little brother, all alone in the big village."
"...Ugh...anyway we came to tell you guys we're engaged."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
Temari started trying to get up to hug them but soon gave up. They stayed a little while longer then left. Deidara had been ready to leave ever since he saw Temari. Itachi was laughing at how exasperated she was.
"How can this have happen? I was so close, she was so in love with me!"
"...Has she ever even had a conversation with you."
"Love at first sight."
"Well now she's married and pregnant so get over it."
"...When she has that kid, I'll get her then."
"...Sure you will."
They headed to the hospital to see Sakura and Sasuke. She was in the middle of a loud rant yet again. Naru ran up to her and hugged her and she stopped immediately and completely ignored her interns. 3 hugged Shisui too. The interns sat there in tension-filled silence.
"Kankuro! Matsuri! It's been forever, have you seen Temari yet? She's not as big as I was, but still."
"Yeah guess what?"
"What?"
"We're getting married."
"Seriously?"
"...Why does everyone ask that?"
"That's great."
Sakura hugged them both and 3 did too. Even though she'd almost hated Kankuro, their constant visits made them better friends. The interns were just waiting to finish rounds. Sakura saw that and finished up.
"OK retards, yet another one of you has left a glove in a man's chest! Three people will be fired by the end of the month...heh 3...anyway if someone screws up one more time I swear I will fire all of you. Dismissed."
Naru and Shisui stayed with Sakura and 3 for the rest of the day. The others went back home, Itachi went back to 3's and Sasuke went back to his apartment, the rest went back to Naruto's. Deidara moved to the couch and Kankuro and Matsuri got the guest room. A while later Gaara went to go pick up the kids from the hospital, Matsuri went with. Kankuro laid down on the couch to try and get a nap.
