So- it's been forever. Sorry about that, I think I got discouraged by the many, many times I had to re write the ending of this story and lost every damn one of them to computer crashes, power outages, viruses and so on.

So- instead of writing a whole new chap- I decided to lengthen this one so that I can finally mark it as complete.

(********************************************************************************************************************************)

Three months.

Kakashi had been wooing Uzu for three months, today. Three months of kissing, holding hands, and going on long walks together and staying up late talking. Three months of sleeping on the couch in the living room and waiting for her to get comfortable around him.

And finally she had. He grinned as he stared at the calender, amused by how quickly time passed when one was presuing their ideal woman. He grabbed a shirt up off of the floor, and pulled it on as he planned todays events down to the last detail.

He wanted today to be perfect, because today was the day he was planning to ask her to marry him. He'd waited for this day for a long time, but that didn't matter.

His anxiousness didn't matter.

Nothing mattered to him but the happiness of the female sleeping down the hall.

He would finally put his ring on her finger or by god he'd join Gai's weirdness rank and run amok around the village until she said yes! He cringed a little bit as he thought that.

He was not looking forward to being called on the carpet for such a terrible thing, but hopefully Uzu would take pity on him and say yes right away. He looked at the clock on the wall and noted the time. It was ten forty five. The flower store and other places would be open by now so he could go and get things ready and hopefully go from there.

(****************************************************************************************************************************)

He grabbed a small note book and scribbled down a note for her and left it where he hoped that she'd find it and then quietly slipped out the door and locked it.

Uzu leaned over the toilet and wretched for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past thirty minutes, and blinked back tears as her stomach lurched again. This was the sixth time she had gotten sick like this and she was now totally convinced that she had somehow, miraculously managed to catch something.

Though she was sort of sketchy on the details of 'how' it that could have happened since she was pretty much immune to everything except the common cold.

"Ugh...I don't feel so good." Kyubbi what the hell have you let happen to me?

This isn't my fault. If you want to blame something, then blame human biology, the endless hours of sex, and the past several months. No wait, blame the wolf... I would.

What? Uzu frowned as she sat back and flushed the toilet. What the fuck was the chakra monster talking about? What did any of those things have to do with-oh. Ohhh...

"Oh!" Uzu shrieked as what was wrong with her suddenly hit her. She stared at the wall blankly for a second in shock before murderous rage boiled up in her chest.

"That son of a bitch!" She was going to kill him. She was going to kill him, bring him back to life and then kill his zombie! How dare he. Honestly, she was too young for this shit! God knew that she certainly wasn't ready to be a parent. Which is why she was going to KILL HIM!

But if you kill him you'll be easy prey for every perv in the village. And imagine what they might do to- Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Right. Now. She knew that the damn fox had some hand in this- this damned debacle- so she would kill it later. But right now, now she had a fucking wolf to hunt down and skin alive.

Growling she stood up and went to get dressed.

If she was lucky Kakashi would still be sound asleep on the couch and she could proceed with her plan to kill him, bring him back, kill him again and then bring him back again because there was no fucking way he was going to escape taking responsibility for what he had done!

Uh-oh... Kyubbi thought as it shrank back in it's cage, shaking slightly from the overwhelming amount of bloodlust and anger coming from it's kit. It hated when she was in this kind of mood. There was no reasoning with her and someone always ended up hurt.

The moment she finished getting dressed, she stomped down the hall to the living room to look for her latest victim. Because that was what he was now, a victim that she was going to enjoy destroying him very, very much. Over and over, and over again. Because right now she needed an fucking outlet for her anger and stress and if Kakashi could do anything, it was take a beating.

However he wasn't there.

He was nowhere to be found. There wasn't even a damn trace of his having slept on the damn couch. Nothing, nada, zip.

She glared at the empty couch cushions and gnashed her teeth in frustration as she thought, How very clever of him to just up and disappear when she was wanting his blood. But not nearly clever enough since she could find him easily and destroy him then.

Heading towards the door of the apartment, she let her chakra spike dangerously as she slipped out the door and slammed it behind her.

(*************************************************************************************************************************************************)

The gods were conspiring against him. Kakashi thought. It was obvious in just how many things had gone wrong this morning since he left the house.

Running into Gai.

Almost having a piano dropped on his head.

Getting kicked in the shin by a little kid on accident.

Honestly he wasn't sure how he was going to make it the rest of the day? Luckily he had recruited some monkeys-er minions, he meant minions, to help him set things up. He patted his pants pocket for the hundredth time in the past hour just to make sure that the ring he had bought for Uzu was still safely tucked in place.

God knew that he'd be shit out of luck on his marriage proposal if he lost the fucking thing.

"Kakashi-sensei where do you want these flowers?" Sauske asked as he stopped right in front of him with a huge vase of fragrent white peoneys. Kakashi looked around the room that he had rented out in the Fallen Petal resturaunt and pointed to the table, tucked away in the corner of the private booth, over by the window.

"Over there. Sakura, how are the table linens and silverwear coming?"

"Washed, folded and ready. Silverwear sparkly and ready too." Sakura said as she laid the last piece of carefully polished silver down on the nicely folded white linen napkin.

"Perfect! Are the candles ready?" Kakashi asked as he got a thumbs up and a grin from both kids and smiled behind his mask.

Fantastic. Now all he had to do was go and collect Uzu and convince her to leave the apartment for breakfast so that he could romance her into marrying him. However plans rarely go as they should- or so he vaguely recalled his father saying to him once when he was a kid.

Sometime long before his death had occurred.

And naturally whatever can go wrong, will.

Which was how the infamous Hatake Kakashi found himself literally face to face with the angry looking young love of his life while Sauske and Sakura both promptly abandoned him to his fate by climbing out of the window.

Damn them both. Now he had no human shields to protect himself from Uzu with. Kakashi thought in slight irritation as his lover advanced on him and growled out a single word, "You." In a very displeased tone that had him cocking his head to the side in a curious manner, wondering just what he had done to set her off.

"Me?" He said in a slightly nervous tone as she reached up and grasped him by the front of his shirt and yanked him down to her level and growled.

"You knocked me up."

Kakashi made a choking sound for a moment as he stared at her wide eyed in disbelief. How? When? How could the Kyuubi allow something like this to happen? He wondered as he croaked. "How?" And flinched slightly when she snapped,

"Cut the shit Kashi- you know damn well how babies are made." This was true. Kakashi admitted to himself, he did know how they were made, and he practiced making babies frequently just to keep from getting rusty. But he had never in a million- well okay that was a bit of a lie- expected that he and Uzu would be parents so soon.

Don't get him wrong, he was happy.

Deliriously so. So much so that he suddenly felt as if he couldn't get enough air in his lungs and the world were spinning.

On second thought, the world was spinning. It was spinning so much that everything was blurred and he felt absolutely nothing when he collapsed at his lover's feet in a dead faint.

Uzu stood there for a moment, glaring at him with a slightly cheated/pissed expression on her pretty face before the humor of the situation finally hit her and a small laugh escaped her.

Wasn't it usually the woman that faints? She wondered as she thought back on his expression just before collapsing at her feet.

He had been wearing the dumbest, proudest little grin on his face. Huffing slightly, she shook her head at him and carefully sat down next to him thinking, Well it looks like we're stuck together now. Instead of killing him- I'll just put him on diaper duty for the rest of his life.

Yeah. That could work.
