Temari is pregnant!

How did it happen? (Part 1)

"Would you please just go to the Hokage's office? I can see how nervous you are. Go there and find out what is happening. I am going to be okay; Yoshino would be here in less than an hour. I would be alright", Temari said while looking and the anxious look on her husband's face.

15 minutes ago, a shinobi from the Hokage's office came to the Nara mansion to request Shikamaru at Kakashi's office.

Something must have happened. Yurito, a boy who worked in the archive room of the Hokage Mansion, was in front of their house with a terrified look. Temari was not able to hear what the two men were talking about, but she realised the tensed atmosphere around them. 

Yurito said something to Shikamaru and the latter was frightened.

"Uh, something is wrong", the blonde woman thought to herself, "Shikamaru is needed at work, but he won't go. In two days is my due date".

"I can not leave right now Yurito. Temari would be alone in our house. I do not want to leave her by herself; she is 9 months pregnant".

"Shikamaru-senpai, you are needed. Hokage-sama told us not to bother you on your vacation; however, we are on a tight spot. If this thing continues Konoha and the Shinobi Union would be destroyed, and the last war would be in vain. Please come with me", the blue-eyed man begged!

"I already know this. You do not need to tell me that", the Nara man replied to the shorter man in front of him.

"What should I do? Should I go to the office and leave Temari alone, or should I stay here with her and put into danger what everyone has fought for?" Shikamaru thought?

Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by his wife voice. She was finally facing the both men and addressed at her husband, "Shikamaru, you should go. I already called Yoshino. She would be here in an hour, as she has an appointment right now. You go with Yurito, while I wait for your mother".

He looked at his wife with concerned eyes. Her belly was big and it was noticeable that she had a difficult time completing the things that she wanted to do every day. The simplest things were a torture for Temari to do. She could not even stand on her own. What would she do if she wanted to go to the toilet, or if there was a fire in the house? 

He could not possibly leave her, yet he was worried about what was happening now in the shinobi world. He had to make a decision.

"Temari, I can not do that, I need..."

"Stop it. Just go. I will be alright alone. It is just one hour. Nothing would happen. I would sit next to the telephone, so if anything happens, I am going to call you. Now just go. You promised to create a peaceful world for our child. Do that then!", Temari yelped at Shikamaru.

The man smiled after hearing what his wife wanted to say. 

"Alright, I will go. But if anything happens, you should call me asap. Also, when my mother comes here, call me, so I could relax".

"I will do that".

"Yurito, let me put on my shoes and we can go", Shikamaru said to the other man after turning his back to him.

"Okay, senpai, I will wait for you".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Temari, I will go now. Please do call me to let me know if something is wrong. I will be worried until my mother gets here", Shikamaru whispered to his wife's ear as he hugged her.

"Nothing is going to happen and you know that. Do not worry that much. I am a tough person", Temari said with a low voice while hugging her husband back. "Now go!".

"I am off", the pineapple haired man said and kissed Temari on her lips. Then he opened that door and left their house.

Temari stared at Shikamaru's back and later the closed door.

"Geez, why does he worry so much. I will be fine", she said out loud as she was caressing her big belly, "I know how to take care for myself!".

Temari turned her back to the exit door and went inside the house. As her due date was approaching, it was more difficult for her to do anything. For example, right now she wanted a cup of tea, badly; but she understood that it would take twice the usual time to do that.

Even though she was getting used to do nothing at all, she did not like it. She was not familiar with sitting all day and doing nothing. She was feeling unproductive and she did not like that. She was not able to train, she was not able to go for a walk, she was not able to go for shopping. She felt imprisoned in her own body and house.

"No. This will not bring me down! I want a cup of tea; I would make some tea. I can do that!", she exclaimed to herself.

As she was heading towards the kitchen, she felt a kick in her belly. "Shikadai, did you finally wake up? You are as lazy as your father. You sleep the majority of the day and you only wake up to inconvenience me", she talked to her unborn baby while laughing. "I am going to make a cup of tea, so please settle down a little".

What she wanted to drink right know was a chamomile tea. The leaves were located on the lower cabinet in the kitchen, right next to sink. Previously she always had in mind not to bend down, as that could be dangerous for the baby; however, now she acted carelessly.

"Ouch", she cried in pain as she bending down, "it hurts. What have I done?", she questioned herself as she was collapsing on the floor.

"Help. Help me", she shouted hoping that someone might hear her. In this case though, she was not lucky. No one was in the house. She was all alone. As she looked down on her feet, she saw a few blood drops on the floor.

"If I don't do something right now, something might happen to the baby", she thought as she was trying to stand up. "No, I can't do that. Crap".

"I am sorry Shikamaru. I promised you that I would be careful, but here I am acting childish for a cup of tea", she voiced in a whisper a few moments before fainting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Temari, I am here. I finished my appointment earlier and got here as soon as possible. Are you all right?", Yoshino's voice could be heard in the Nara's house.

"Temari? Where are you?", Yoshino asked again, as he did not get a response from her daughter in law.

"..."

"Temari?", she asked once again while searching for her in the house.

"..."

"TEMARI!!!", the black-haired woman shouted when she saw Temari on the floor unconscious while bleeding.
