"I don't want kids," Temari said quietly.
Shikamaru stared at her for a moment.
"Why?" he asked.
"My childhood was a nightmare," Temari replied, tears beginning to spill out. "What if I'm like my father? What if they turn out like me?"
Shikamaru put a comforting arm around her.
"You're not him," he said firmly. "There are worse things than turning out like you, Tem."
Seeing her skepticism, he chuckled.
"Okay, not many worse things," Shikamaru admitted jokingly. "But if they're like you, at least we know I'll love them."
Naturally, Temari punched him before settling back into his embrace.
