The Hokage had his head bent of his paperwork, which seemed to be endless. There was a thump on the door, "Come in," Naruto said not looking up from his paperwork but nobody enter there was just another thumping noise. "Come in," Naruto repeated louder thinking they hadn't heard the first time. He heard another couple thumps in succession. "What the..?" Naruto said finally pushing himself out of his chair. The thumps didn't stop. He swung the door open and couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled as he kneeled down. "What are you doing up here Kyo?" The little boys blue eyes flew up to met his fathers. Kyo had been with his mother but getting impatient and wanting to see his father he had headed to wear her knew his father's office was located. The stairs had been a challenge for the boy he had only just learned to walk by himself but it was the door knob that seemed impossible he just couldn't reach even on his toes. He giggled happily anyways he had made it.

"Dada," Naruto smiled kneeling down and opening his arms to his son who stumbled into them.

A realization hit him, "How did you get up here anyway?" The child in question just giggled. Naruto walked back over to his desk sitting down in his chair resting Kyo in his lap. He listened to his son babble on, content to enjoy the break in paperwork.

It wasn't long, broken by an actual knock on the door. "Come in," Three male Jonin walked in.

"Hokage, we have finished are mission." Aoi said, they were all kneeling in respect to Naruto. "We have captured Izo and brought him to the interrogating chambers." They all stood back up the same time. They were surprised to see Kyo sitting on Naruto's lap, but said nothing. Naruto was always a strange one and seemed to make up his own rules. It was hard to believe he was such a deadly ninja, one that had helped rid the world of the Akatsuki, with a one year old pulling on his hair.

"Good, see if Kurenai Yuhi can integrate him." Naruto said wrapping his arm more firmly around Kyo and prying the piece of his blonde hair out of his son's fist. But before he could dismiss them, the door flew back open.

Kiba Inuzuka casually strolled through the door with Akamaru at his side. "Oi, Naruto!" Kiba called out. The other Jonin were shocked at the disrespect that the Inuzuka was showing. Naruto on the other hand smiled at one of his friends from the Rookie Nine. Kyo let out a garbled gurgle bouncing on his father's lap, happy to see his uncle for the first time in weeks . "Oh, and Kyo? Naruto what's the pup doing here?" Kiba asked leaning back on his heels.

"Ah? Oh, I found him trying to break in here." Naruto said, ruffling the child's hair his spiky blue locks fly about his head.

"Does Hinata know? She's probably freaking out." Naruto's eyes got wide. He hadn't even thought about that! Hinata would be so mad if she found out while she was worried sick about her youngest child and Naruto was using as a distraction from his paperwork.

"She's going to kill me! I'll have to find her after I finish this!" Kiba turned just noticing the Jonin's presence for the first time.

"Oh," After a second of silence. "Well I'm just here to tell you that I'm done with missions until Kanna has the baby."

"She five months already?" It seemed like Kiba had just announced that Kanna was pregnant again with smug smile on his face.

"Yeah," Kiba had started his rule about not taking missions after Kanna months along because when she was pregnant with Amaya, their first, she had complications and was put on bed rest for a few weeks. She was apparently putting herself under too much stress and needed to get some sleep. Kiba had come back to find her in the hospital and freaked out, even when Sakura had assured him that she was fine, and just need to take it easy. It seemed that Kanna and Kiba had to very different interpretations of 'taking it easy'. To Kanna it meant resting more frequently throughout her day, which was Sakura's recommendation. Kiba, on the other hand, immediate response was to not let Kanna do anything, and it annoyed her greatly causing a good number of fights between the two. Most thought that Kiba was being paranoid including Naruto until months later when something similar had happened to Hinata during her pregnancy with Kyo.

"Are you guys still going to come to the reunion this week?" The reunion was something the old Rookie Nine did once a year. Even though they saw each other on a pretty regular bases it was nice to have a day of reminiscing, drinking sake, and letting their kids ware each other out.

"Yeah, we will be there." Kiba said dropping a stack of papers on Naruto already clutter desk. "I'll see you then. Bye kiddo," Kiba said messing up Kyo's already unruly blue locks. Kyo giggled happily waving. As Kiba was heading to the door Naruto called back out to him.

"Oi, Kiba do you mind telling Hinata I have this little troublemaker on your way out?" Naruto hoped that if Kiba told her he wouldn't get into as much trouble. Well, he could only hope.

"Yeah sure," Kiba lifted his hand in gesture of goodbye. Naruto readjusted Kyo more comfortably on his lap. A throat being cleared brought the blonde's attention back to the three men.

"Oh, yeah sorry, you're dismissed."

Nara House

Shikamaru looked up at his usually loud and demanding wife. She was strangely quiet today and this fact worried him. Arisa was eating quietly; her blonde hair was laying untidily on her forehead and shoulders. Her brown eyes circled the room with Shikmaru's 'what a drag' look in her eyes. Arisa pushed her blonde hair back just for it to fall back into her face. There was an increase in charka level and Shikamaru looked up just as other Jonin appeared leaving a trail of smoke.

"Nara, Shikamaru?" The Nara nodded, his attention was still on his wife. "The Hokage would like to speak to you a mission has come up," The Jonin noticing his didn't really have the man's attention continued. "The Hokage asked for you specifically." The Jonin pulled a scroll out of his flask jacket.

"How troublesome," Shikamaru sighed, rolling the scroll back up. He pushed himself out of the chair, "Temari," Finally catching the blonde's attention, "This is urgent," He said in a bored voice. "Are you going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine," Temari assured but this only made him feel more uneasy. Normally the fiery blonde would snap that she could take care of herself just fine and that nobody needed to worry about her. He grabbed his Jonin vest off the back of the chair pulling it on. He turned kissing Temari hoping for her to say something. She didn't. Sighing Shikamaru turned toward Arisa who wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed her cheek.

"Be good," The young girl nodded, leaning up on her knees and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Be safe daddy!" He smiled, smoothing down her blonde locks. They always said the same thing to each other before he left on a mission. He never imagined this bond, the one between a father and his daughter. It was so different then what he had experienced with his dad, being a boy. He walked over to the other Jonin and they disappeared together in smoke.

Temari let out a breath before clearing the table and putting the dishes in the sink, turning on the water to let them soak. "Alright, let's get ready."

"Where are we going?" Arisa asked lazily, picking at the table cloth.

"To see Sakura," She turned off the sink, drying her hands on a towel. Temari walked behind the chair her skilled pulled half of Arisa hair up into it ponytail before doing the same to the other half.

"Why?" Arisa asked curiously as she pulled on her blue sandals.

"I need to talk to her."

"About what?" Temari gave her a look and Arisa immediately stopped asking questions. She knew that look, her mother was getting irritated and didn't want to get in trouble. But it did pip her curiosity and she knew if she waited long enough she would eventually get the answers she desired anyways. It didn't take long to get to the hospital where Sakura worked. Temari lead the way to Sakura's office Arisa fallowing sluggishly some feet behind her. She lightly rapped on the frame of the open door.

"Temari, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked closing a file on the desk as another pink haired girl ran into the room. Three year old Saki skipped into the room, carrying a stack of files so high that she couldn't see over them. Sakura laughed turning to taking the stack of files from her. "Thank you, sweetie." Saki smiled happily before noticing Arisa and smiling even bigger. She rushed over to her friend.

"Why don't you girls go play in the waiting room while we talk?" Sakura suggested. Saki talked eagerly as they walked out of the room together. "What's wrong Temari?" Sakura asked. Over the years of living in Kohona Temari had become close with the rookie nine especially the young medic.

"I think I'm pregnant," Temari said bluntly. Sakura raised an eyebrow. She didn't say anything as she handed her a pregnancy test gesturing to a bathroom.
