Chapter Seven: Trippin and Skippin 1
"Wake up, Shikamaru," Ino said, pushing him off of her shoulder. He groaned like always and rolled over, hiding his head with a pillow. She sat up and sighed, "we have to get up and go to Sakura's party."
He shook his head, "tell them I'm on a mission."
"She was just here last night!" she snapped. "Added on, she works right under Tsunade!"
He sat up, too, "what a drag."
"It'll be fun," she said, slidding out of bed.
"I miss Choji," he thought. "Having fun for him is eating while I stare off into space peacefully."
Ino placed her hand on the small of her back to support her weight as she looked in the lengthy mirror. Shikamaru smiled as she turned in different angles and pouted at her image. He got up, walking to her, and put his arms around her buldging waist, "beauty is in the eyes of anyone looking at Ino..." He smirked, kissing behind her ear, "my Ino."
She shivered as he purred on her skin. To others, his voice was so dull and toneless, but to her it was so rythmic and soothing. She lost her breath as his hand creep downward. She giggled, "Shikamaru, you are so annoying sometimes. You know we can't get close now, and yet you tease me."
He took his hands off of her and yawned, "yeah, yeah... Is Sakura going to feed us; or am I going to have to make you something?"
Ino rolled her eyes, still studying her bigger stomach, "Shika-kun?"
"What?" he asked, now changing into a netted shirt.
"Was Sakura right?" she asked lowly.
"About what?"
"About me getting all gross and buldg-."
He sighed, "Ino, don't listen to her. She's jealous the way I see it."
"How could she be?" she asked.
He frowned, "what do you mean how? You're the one with a sweet and caring Shika-kun and a perfect bundle of joy on the way. Call me lying if you didn't say that."
Ino's eyes softened, "I'm sorry. I do think I'm lucky to have you and for us to start a family together, but Sakura will find one reason to-"
"Who says you have to say more than four words to her?" Shikamaru asked. "Just wave and say hey, Sakura, nice party. And there, you're done. You won't be accused of anything. I'll even steal you away before you get the last word out."
Ino smiled, "promise?"
He nodded, tying up his hair. "You think I should just cut it off?" She blinked. He frowned again, "I mean, Kiba, Shino, or Naruto never have to worry about brushing their hair, right?"
She rushed to him, "don't! I forbid you to cut your hair that short!"
"Why?" he asked with a wry grin.
"Because that's your thing, and it's very sexy to me," she giggled.
"You do have a complicated mind, Ino. I feel for you."
"Like you don't have a complicated mind?" she asked, poking his arm. She glanced at the clock, "we have thirty minutes to get there! I have to get ready! Stop talking to me!"
He yawned again, "troublesome..."

"Gee, Ino sure has gotten bigger," Kiba said to the guys. Shino, Neji, Lee, and Naruto nodded in agreement.
The blond laughed, "like a cow." They all looked at him blankly. He shut his mouth and blushed, "oh, in a good way."
"Idiot, Naruto," Neji sighed. "You are embarrassing yourself again."
"She's still pretty," Shino said. They then looked at him blankly. The bug host glanced around nervously, "is the punch spiked or what?"
"Yeah, uh huh," Naruto nodded, crossing his arms, "that was my problem, too."
"So not, there is no excuse for you," Kiba snapped.
Lee, who was being awfully quiet...wasn't beside them anymore. They looked around and saw him holding Ino's hands. "A new birth of youth!" he said happily. "Gai-sensei said himself that there was no other joy than seeing a newborn! You will call me when you go into labor!" Shikamaru stared at the grey clouds above while Ino stepped on his foot to help her out. "How far along are you?" Lee asked excitedly.
"I'm only four months," she answered.
Lee blinked, "hopefully, you don't get larger."
Ino balled her fist, "what?!"
Lee shook his head, "no, you misuderstand-"
"Then help me to understand!" she snapped.
He held up his hands in defense, "I've never really seen a pregnant woman. I don't know how big you're suppose to get."
"She'll get bigger," Sakura said, walking to them. Ino twitched as the pink-haired woman smiled. "Right?" she asked.
Shikamaru sighed, stepping away from them, still gazing at the sky. Ino noticed this, "Shika..." She looked at her friend-foe, "hey, Sakura, nice party." Sakura stood there confused. Ino then rushed off to follow her lover. She walked behind him with a smirk, "man, did you see her face?"
He stopped, "Ino, I was just thinking."
She frowned; oh no, he was thinking. Wasn't that what he got all depressed about last time? She was almost afraid to ask, "about what?"
He turned to look at her, "about how we would... I mean..." He blushed lightly, "I have no idea about what to do when you go into labor, let alone what is suppose to happen."
She put her hands on her hips with a confident smile, "well, you're suppose to help me to the hospital...." She frowned, "and...something,...oh! and then the baby comes."
He sweatdropped, "Ino..."
"Okay, so I don't know either!" she snapped. "I can't believe you don't know."
He blushed even more, "how would I know? I don't know anything abou-"
"You seem to know your way around my body just fine," she said wryly.
"Not what comes out of that," he said, point to her stomach.
"A baby, stupid," she said.
"But how?" he asked.
"Just let the doctors worry about that."
"We really need to consult a professional," he said.
She sighed, "fine. I know just the people."
"People?" he mumbled.

"And again!" Yoshino said loudly.
"Breathe!" Mrs. Yamanaka snapped.
Ino took in a breath and let it out. She glanced at Shikamaru, who was scowling. "Do it!" Ino panted, gripping his hand tighter.
He took a breath to get in sync wtih her and panted as she did. "This is dumb. We've been doing this practice for two whole months," he panted.
"It's practice!" Yoshino told him.
"You'll both need it when Ino loses her breath on those painful contractions," Mrs. Yamanaka said.
Ino stopped, "p-painful?"
"Oh, we failed to mention that," her mother said with a nervous grin.
"You will cry, and you will rip," Yoshino told her bluntly.
"Rip?" Ino asked worriedly. They nodded, pointing down. Ino bit her lip, "it will?"
"What else?" Shikamaru asked.
"The contractions are brutal," her mother said.
"Especially when he's the father," Yoshino said, pointing at her son.
Shikamaru frowned, "why? What did I do?"
"Your head was too big!" Yoshino told him angrily.
Shikaku laughed, from the doorway, "are you talking about that again?"
Shikamaru blushed, "so what if my head was big?"
"The head comes first," Yoshino said, "and the bigger it is, the worse it is for the mother."
"You should have seen her," Shikaku laughed. "She was like, Shikakau, you jackass! I can't push this damn kid of yours out! Pull, somebody, for the love of God!" He laughed more, "I tried to warn her that all Nara's have big heads when their born, but this...this is so much funnier now!"
"Why?" Shikamaru asked angrily. His face was so red. Ino was dazed in fear of her body being stretched by a big Nara head.
"Because you still have a big head, and you're a genius! It! It must be your," he laughed, "your brain that made your head so big!"
Shikamaru hung his head in defeat, "are you drunk or something? Shut up!"
"I have been wanting to point that out for years," he laughed a little calmer. "But your feelings are so tender."
"They are not!" Shikamaru snapped, looking at him.
"Damn, what a blush!" Shikaku burst out laughing again.
"Oh, don't listen to your mean father, Shikamaru," Mrs. Yamanaka told him with a giggle. "Ino needs a sweet, gentle husband around."
Ino stood by pushing herself from the couch. They watched her attentively. She wavered a bit, and Shikamaru kept his hands alert to catch her. She held her head, "oh, gosh..."
"What's wrong, dear?" Yoshino asked.
"I..." she mumbled.
Shikamaru stood, taking her hands, "are you light-headed? Tired? Sic-"
"Ripping and tearing....and....and-" she choked out before she threw up all over him. He stood in shock as her last meal dripped down the front of his Chuunin vest. She wiped her mouth, "sorry..." She smiled slightly, "hee hee, sorry."
He held in his gag reflexes and nodded, "it's fine...really."
Everyone else laughed; Shikaku had to sit down from being weak in his sides. Yoshino got up and carefully unzipped his vest, taking it off. "I'll wash this for you."
Ino took a tissue from the small box on the table and wiped the bit that splattered on his face. She took his hand, "bathroom." She led him down the hall and shut the door behind them. "I am so sorry," she said, getting a cloth from the counter. He shuddered, reliving the experience in his mind. "I love you, though," she said with a smile.
He smiled slightly, too, as she wiped away the mess on him. "Don't get all upset again, okay?"
She giggled again, "okay."
"I'm serious." She looked into his eyes. He kissed her quickly, "they'll give you pain killers. You won't even feel it. And as for the Nara clan head, I'm sorry."
She kissed him like he did her, "I'm sure you are."
He grinned, "I'll be right there, too. I've taken that whole nineth month off in advance, okay?"
She nodded, "thank you."
