Kimiko looked down at the lil girl still bundled in her arms. She was sleeping peacefully. As she studied her face she noticed just how much she looked like her dad. Her skin was tan like her mothers though.

With a shaky sigh she leaned her head back on Itachis shoulder. "I was trying to protect us both. If our child has both our abilities she will never know peace. She will be sought after by the council and used as a weapon." Kimiko said tears rolling down her face. "I was planning to become a missing nin in order to protect her. Telling you what I did was the best way to protect you as well."

"So telling me that you never wanted to see my traitorous face again was a lie?" He asked as he brought a hand to stroke his daughters head. Her hair was soft and she was looking so peaceful.

Kimiko remained silent as more tears came. When she did that she felt her heart being ripped out of her chest. She loved Itachi. She never verbalized it to him but she did. She cried herself to sleep at night thinking of how harsh she was and the look of surprise and hurt on his face.

Flashback:

Kimiko was standing and staring at the wok of stir fry in front of her. Tears threatened to come as she thought of what she was having to do. She took a long shaky breath and steeled herself to what she thought was right.

Itachi walked into the kitchen and laid a gentle kiss on the back of her head. "It smells delicious my lil bunny."

"Itachi we need to talk." She said. Turning around she looked up and hoped she had the meanest and most disgusted look he's ever seen from her on her face. "I never want to see you again. I want you to leave and never try to contact me or come near me again. If you do I will report you to the anbu and let the leaf take care of you. I never want to see your traitorous face again."

Itachi looked at her shocked. She could see the war inside his head as he processed her words. "You're joking right?"

She shook her head unable to trust herself from saying otherwise.

He stood there for what seemed like days to him. The woman he loved, risked so much for was telling him to leave and never come back.

Kimiko closed her eyes and heard his cloak rustle and when she turned he was gone. She couldn't hold it in anymore and fell to her knees sobbing.

They sat in silence together. Itachi noticed Kimiko started to feel heavy against him and realized she had fallen asleep. He picked her up and gently grabbed a towel after getting them out of the bath. Kimiko woke slightly and held their daughter closer.

Once he had her dried off he laid them in the bed. He kissed the tops of their heads and disappeared. She wouldn't see him for 4 months after that.

Once she had recovered Pein had come to her room and discussed with her the reason for being there. He had wanted her to join them because he felt she was an asset to the team. He had no idea of her pregnancy but was more than welcoming with allowing her to keep the baby.

2 weeks had passed and Kimiko hadn't seen Itachi and she hadn't left the room. Konan brought her food and tried to get her to come out. She refused waiting for Itachi. She knew he was enraged with her.

At the 6 week mark Pein seemed to lose patience with her. He had been coming to visit and talk with Kimiko and also take care of Lena so she could get rest. He had made sure Lena had everything she needed. He stepped in where Itachi had stepped out.

The door opened and Pein walked in. He had a determined look on his face. "We're going outside. Lena could use the fresh air and so could you." He said going to the closet and pulling out a fresh pair of clothes. He handed them to her and picked Lena up from her crib. She looked up at him and gave him a happy cooing sound.

"I'm fine I just need to rest." Kimiko said turning her face into her pillow. She didn't want to go anywhere.

Pein looked at her and called for Konan. "Take Lena outside for a walk. Her mother and I have some things to discuss."

Konan dutifully took Lena and gave Kimiko a sideways glance. The way Pein was looking at Kimiko she knew not to question what he wanted. She only hoped Kimiko would understand what she was getting herself into.

Pein walked over to the bed as soon as the door shut. He ripped back the blankets to reveal her only to be in a tank top. Kimiko shot up and made a grab for the blankets. She was too slow and Pein grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her back down. Once he was on top of her they stared each other down.

Kimiko glared at him. "I told you I just want to rest."

"I said you need to get some fresh air. I am done with you laying about in here mourning a situation you created. You broke that man and didn't tell him of his child. Instead you threatened him and forced him out of both your lives. Then you turn around and tell him it was all a lie. He needs time to heal. You betrayed him." Pein said to her. He watched her face as she looked away not wanting to hear what he said.
