"We're gone only three weeks and you guys suddenly have a whole new kid?"

I put a bag of dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets into my cart and decide to grab one more since it's Nikko's favorite.

"It's temporary. Only until we can find her a family."

He pushes the cart slowly down the aisle as he looks at me with an expression that screams judgemental.

"Just say what you need to say Asuma."

He reaches out and lightly nudges me.

"Relax. I think you guys are doing a great thing. I'm just worried about the two of you."

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about us too. And about Nikko.

"I know. But this is the right thing to do. We weren't prepared for another child. We were barely prepared for Keitaro. Nikko deserves parents that know what they are doing. And I feel like Kakashi and I are just trying to do our best but I'm not sure if our best is good enough."

I open the freezer door and grab a tub of chocolate ice cream to place it in the cart.

"Isn't that what parenthood is though? Just doing your best for your children?"

I give him a soft smile because in a way, he's right.

"Yes but there's more to it than that. You can't just do your best. You have to go above and beyond for your kids and make sure all of their emotional, physical and mental needs are met. Kakashi and I have struggle every day with Nikko's ptsd. It feels like one day we will take a huge step forward and the next day it's 3 steps back. What if we're not the best option for her?"

Asuma's lips turn downwards into a frown as he listens to me.

"Don't get me wrong, I know it's only been 3 weeks. But maybe we're not cut out to be her parents. And I'm so young. Maybe she needs someone with more experience with children than what I have."

He stops the cart and stares at me.

"Are you doubting your ability as a mother because I'll fight you right here in this grocery store."

I laugh as I take the cart from him and continue into the next aisle.

"I'm doubting my ability to be Nikko's mother. What if I'm not the best mom she can get?"

We grab a couple loafs of bread and walk towards the deli.

"In the end, you and Kakashi need to do what's best for not only you two but for your son. So no one is going to blame you if you decide you can't give Nikko everything she deserves."
