Kakashi looked at the child as she calmed in Ankos arms. "Why did you bring it here instead of to Lady Tsunade?" He asked rubbing his eyes and yawned. "She would know what to do with it." Anko shrugged softly. "Guess I didn't think about it." She said softly stroking the babys brown hair. "I'll be back in a bit then." She said getting up out of the bed and walking out of the room with the girl. Kakashi watched her go with a soft sigh. He missed his old Anko. He missed the happy, psychotic woman he married.
After a few hours Anko came back inside with a few bags and the child wrapped up in a soft, rose colored blanket instead of her coat. Kakashi saw her come in and looked over confused. "What happened?" He asked curiously. "Lady Tsunade told me to keep her here with us for now." She said as she took the bags to the bedroom and set them down. "What do you mean?" he asked following her. She cradled the baby as she went to the storage closet. "Anko. Why would she tell you to keep the child for right now?" He asked her. "Because she said no one else could take her right now." She said as she pulled out the bassinet they had bought for their child. "Clean the dust off of this for me." She said as she took the baby into the other room away from the attack of dust in the air.
Kakashi looked at the bassinet quietly. He couldn't believe Anko would place some strange child where their own baby was supposed to be. He remembered when they first bought it. Anko was laughing and smiling talking about how they would put their child to bed together and tuck him in. He sighed. He didn't want to use it for someone elses kid. He thought on how it could negatively effect Anko. After having lost her own child being forced to watch someone elses. He got up and went outside. He was going to talk to Tsunade about the mess she had put them into.
Kakashi walked into Tsunades office and looked at her. "Lady Tsunade! How could you put Anko into this situation?" He demanded. Tsunade looked at him. "What do you think your doing barging in here?" She asked. "Answer me." He said sternly. "Telling her that no one else could take it? I know there are plenty of ninja who are not being sent out." He said. "Because they need each other." She said simply as she tapped a stack of papers on her desk and got up. "Need each other!? Thats sick Tsunade even for you. She just lost a child. How do you think this is going to make her feel? Being forced to take care of someone elses child." "She'll be fine." She said getting irritated. "And whats so wrong about taking care of someone elses child?" mentioning her own young daughter who was not hers even though she was forced to birth her. "It seems your the one who is going to have problems. For the first time I saw the hint of a smile prick the corner of that woman's lips when I told her to take care of the infant." She said as she began to shove the man out of her office. "Now go home and let it be." She said slamming the door closed.
Back at the house Anko sat on the couch with the baby watching as the little girl played with her hand. "You need a name. I can't just keep calling you her and the baby all the time." she said softly as the little girl pulled lightly at her fingers. "This is going to be a tough one." Thinking she wracked her brain of all sorts of names. She liked none of them though. She looked at the small burn on the childs face. "Maybe something from a flower..." She said softly. She thought for a bit, thinking of the most beautiful flowers she could, as she stroked the babys cheek. Finally a flower came to her. "It's a bit over used but... Lets go with Lili. It seems to fit you most." She said as she kissed her head. Lili looked up at her and cooed happily. "Your quite a cute little girl aren't you Lili." she said rocking the baby lightly. She looked up as she heard the door open and saw Kakashi step in. "Where have you been?" She questioned. "I was talking with Lady Tsunade." he said as he walked to the other room. Anko watched him then turned back to the baby in her arms. "He'll warm up eventually." She said softly. Lili cooed and grabbed her hand again to play.
That night Anko and Tenten sat on the couch playing with Lili while Kakashi made dinner. "She's so cute." Tenten cooed as she made silly faces at the baby. Lili clapped excitedly and giggled as she watched her. "And so hyper." She laughed. "Yeah. It's a good thing Lili is happy though." She said stroking the babys cheek. "Lili?" Tenten questioned. "Yeah. I needed to call her something after all." She explained. The girl nodded. "Go help Kakashi finish dinner while I get her food ready." Anko said getting up. Tenten nodded and did so.
Anko didn't notice the irritated look she got from Kakashi as she got the baby food ready for Lili. She bounced the baby lightly in one arm as she got everything ready with the other hand. Tenten helped set the table once he was done cooking and helped set out the food. Tenten helped Anko make her plate and took both of theirs to the table setting the plate in front of Ankos chair as she sat down to feed the baby first. Kakashi sat down and ate quietly avoiding conversation with either girl. After dinner he cleaned up his mess and went to bed. Tenten watched him. "Um? Is he ok?" She asked looking at Anko. She shrugged. "I don't know..." She said softly. Tenten nodded softly and got up. "I'll clean up then." She said taking up the empty dishes and going to wash them. Anko thanked her before getting up with a sobbing baby. "Lilis sleepy huh?" Tenten giggled softly. Anko nodded. "Guess so." Anko said rocking the baby lightly holding her close. "I'm going to go put her to bed and I'll be in to help clean in a moment." She said getting up with the baby.
Entering the bedroom Anko went to put Lili in the bassinet but it wasn't in the room. She held the baby against her chest as she was falling to sleep and went to the storage closet. Opening it she saw the bassinet still covered in dust tucked between some boxes. She was pissed as she slammed the door closed having forgotten the child trying to sleep in her arms. Lili began to sob loudly from the noise. Anko kissed her head lightly. "Shhh... I'm sorry..." She said in a soothing voice as she went to the bedroom again. "Kakashi!" she said getting up on the bed and kicking the sleeping ninja out. "Arg! What the hell woman!?" He said getting up. "You go sleep outside Kakashi!" She yelled as she walked out of the room with the baby. He followed. "Why should I?" He said getting a furious look from his wife. "Because I asked you to do one simple task for me. I know you don't give a fuck about my feelings right now but you could have just fucking told me to do it myself!" She said walking into the bathroom and locking the door. "Anko!" He yelled as he banged on the door. "Fuck off!" She shouted back, a sob could be heard in her voice. Kakashi backed off the door and walked outside quietly. "Dammit..." he sighed as he walked down the street.
Anko tried to hold back her cries as she rocked the sobbing baby softly. "Shhh...It's ok..." she sighed softly as she stroked her cheek. "I've got you Lili. A light tap came on the door. "Anko... Open the door..." Tenten said softly.
