"Is she fine?"

"She?"

"Yes, she! I've always wanted a girl!"

"Sorry to say but all the Nara Main Family borns have been male."

"Well! All pregnant people have been woman but here I am!!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes at the grinning male. Tsunade on the other hand groaned at the couple, both bickering like a married couple. Well they were, but there was only so much she could take.

"It's to early to tell the gender of the kid but we'll know soon enough. Give it a month or so and we'll have a definite answer."

"I mean the gender really doesn't matter...I just wanna know whether or not they're okay?" Smiling fondly, she placed a hand on the mop of blond hair, and ruffled the strands of hair between her fingers.

"Kid's fine, gaki. Now leave me alone, I've got a hospital to run."

"Thanks Tsunade-baachan!!!"

"Thank you Tsunade-sama!" The two left the woman's office and exited the hospital with smiles on their faces, Naruto's being larger but Shikamaru's looking just as happy.

"It just hit me that we're going to be parents. I'm kinda nervous about it...what if I'm not good enough? What if they end up hating me?!" The Nara shook his head, wrapping an arm around the other's neck. Naruto had to be the most loving and accepting person out there; there was no way any child would hate that.

"Never in a million years, trust me. Mom could nag my ear off but I wouldn't love her any less. We'll make mistakes, that much is certain, but we'll get past them together. Okay?" Naruto nodded, placing his hand over the bump that had already began to form. Thankfully his overly large sweater didn't give away his current state.

They hadn't told anyone about the pregnancy. Sakura suspected something, her having been the one to see the baby forming but Tsunade covered it with the Kyūbi no Kitsune being as the only plausible excuse. They didn't want it going around that the future Nanadaime of Konoha was expecting. Times were tense as it is.

"I'll have to stay home sooner or later, huh? No more training or missions?"

"No. We can't risk it. Starting today you shouldn't use any chakra draining justus, either."

"Really??!! B-But..."

"I know...training is your life but now you're going to have a new factor into your life."

"A baby." He nodded, a smirk on his face.

"Exactly. Now let's get you home, I'll make dinner tonight so just relax okay?"

"No! I don't like just sitting around. Can I at least help, Shika!" The Nara chuckled deeply before giving the blond a nod.

"Yosh!! Let's go! I'm in the mood for yakisoba bun and sashimi and, umm...water eggplants."

"T-that's a very creative array of food. This kid is going to be as weird as you."

"HEY!! TAKE THAT BACK!"

"Shikamaru! Can you get me eggplants!! And yakisoba buns!!!"

"Hai, Hai, you troublesome blond. I'll be back, don't leave the house either."

"Hai!! Just hurry and come back!!" With an amused smile on his face, Shikamaru pecked the blond's lips and left the house.

"Now what do we need to buy...yakisoba buns, eggplants, eggs, milk, and....ramen? Naruto, you idiot."

"I can agree. Naruto is a dobe."
