A/N: Only one more chapter after this one. Then I'm starting a new fancharacter story about my characters Onkei, Shinbi, and Yuki. Very romantical with yaoi. I gotta warn you though, this one will be dark and probably rated M. Kids might wanna stay away. But if you're of age, it should be very entertaining with OCOC

(Keitorin's POV)

The wedding, the baby. It's all a blur now, of love and hormones and "GAARA, YOU DID THIS TO ME!"

The baby came on July 22nd, and it was probably one of the happiest days of my life. Besides the pain, which I'll never forget. She had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked a lot like Temari, but she has my nose. We named her Sierra.

Sierra (the Kokoro) was probably the best friend I'd ever had. I look back on her with graditude, for when she saved my life, for the powers she gave me. If it wasn't for her, I'd be a genin still. Wait, no, I'd be dead.

And now, there was Sierra, my daughter. As I'm writing this, she is 6 years old and she's starting Ninja Academy. She cries a lot, like me, I guess, and she has my temper. But mostly, she's very curious, friendly, and of course outgoing.

Gaara and I were married on December 18th, when I was two months pregnant. Looking back on my wedding picture, I can feel the same joy I felt as in the very moment the picture was taken. I was smiling a deep, happy smile, and Gaara, for once, was smiling with every one of his teeth showing. Even when I think about it now, I can still feel butterflies in my stomach.

oOo

"Goodbye, Sierra! Have a nice day at Ninja Academy!" I called as she walked out the door of our house in Suna. She waved and smiled, displaying the gap from where she had lost her first tooth only days before.

I closed the door, and Kyandii grinned at me. She was finally given a break, and she chose to spend it in Sunagakure with me. She had also visited Ari in Konoha, but now that the brunette was the Sixth Hokage, she was too busy. "She's cute." Kyandii commented. "You know, she looks just like Kokoro-chan did. You know, same hair and eyes, and her face is almost wolf-like." I had to admit that this was true: Sierra looked a lot like the wolf spirit in it's human form.

"So Gaara," I said, looking over at my husband. He stared quizically in my direction, and I took a deep breath. "Are you ready...for another one?"

"Is that an offer or a news broadcast?"

"It's news. I'm pregnant again."

Gaara looked shocked for a moment, and all of a sudden, he broke out into a smile. "I'm going to be a father! Again!" He ran towards me, embracing me until I felt like I would snap in half, and Kyandii made it a group hug. Gaara spent the whole day smiling, and Kyandii kept exclaiming about how lucky I was to have a husband like Gaara.

I am.

oOo

Splee! It's done! Well, that's nothing to 'splee' about...this story was really fun to write. But I will have my next story up soon, I'm calling it "Supernatural".
