Sorry, my english very bad. I learn more by reading ur stories. thank you!

Hi! I’m glad you like the birthday fic I wrote for Temari. I gotta say it was one of my favorites to write as well💕 I was supposed to post this weeks ago, but I decided to put it off until now for Shikamaru’s (and Shikadai’s) birthday. I’m sorry for the wait! I hope you like it! :)

[Scene is set before the ending of Shikamaru Hiden]

————

“Surprise!”

Temari uncovered Shikamaru’s eyes and anxiously stepped forward to see how he would react to her present. To her astonishment, he wordlessly ran a hand over the shiny flat surface of his new shogi board.

“Temari….” he finally said, face blank and void of any expression. “Where did you buy this?”

A trumphant look crossed her face. “My brothers told me it was being sold in Suna so I had them deliver it here. I knew you were collecting different boards for your collection.” She couldn’t help but peer at him when he didn’t utter a word. “Do you like it?”

Shikamaru abruptly wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her tight against him—as close as her bulging stomach allowed. Her heart leaped when his lips pulled into a smile. “It’s great, Tem. I couldn’t ask for a better gift.” His eyes visibly shined as he said this.

The shogi board was stll cloaked in its usual pristine exterior, and Shikamaru reveled in it like how a child would usually react to a brand new toy. Though there were already several similar boards scattered throughout their home, this was the first he received from his wife; which made the present even more special than it already was.

He was just about to lean in to thank her with a kiss when he felt a slight kick to his abdomen.

“Mendokusei.” He chuckled before tenderly encasing Temari’s big womb with his hands. “Am I not allowed to kiss her? You’re not even born yet, but you’re already overprotective of your Mama.”

Temari heartily laughed as she watched her husband pouting to her stomach. “He’s telling you not to be naughty,” she teased and flicked his forehead. “Our unborn child already has more sense than you do.”

“Mendokusei,” he said again with a shake of his head. “If mother and child are against me, then there’s nothing else I can do.” His eyes flickered over to the unused shogi board. “If I’m not getting a kiss, how about a game of shogi then?”

She perked up at the challenge. “You’re on. You prepare the board while I finish up with the dirty dishes.“ She turned on her heels to go, but Shikamaru latched a hand on her wrist to stop her.

“Don’t push yourself so hard.” He gently pushed her in the direction of the sofa. “I’ll do it.”

Spurred by her unrivaled pride and stubborn independence, Temari placed her hands on her hips and firmly stood her ground. Even with a bulging stomach, she still managed to appear intimidating. “Do not baby me, Nara Shikamaru. I can take care of myself.”

“I’m not babying you.” He internally sighed at his wife’s sudden mood change, which admittedly had been occuring often since her third trimester begun. “I just don’t want you to work too hard. It’s bad for both you and our baby.”

She scoffed. “Washing a few dirty dishes isn’t going to stress me out.”

“You spent long hours cooking tonight’s dinner without a break,” he pointed out. “Rest for a while. Let me take care of everything.”

Temari opened her mouth to protest, but a wet tingling in her lower body stopped her. She turned wide-eyed at Shikamaru, who looked equally surprised.

“I think my water just broke,” she stated calmly.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shikamaru easily lifted her off the ground and rushed her over to Konoha Hospital.

*****

“Push, Temari! You’re almost there!” Sakura yelled over from the end of the bed, her pink hair barely visible from behind Temari’s leg.

“I’m…pushing…already…!!!” They heard her exclaim among the incomprehensible noises leaving her mouth. Her body buckled as another wave of excruciating pain swept through her. Temari bit her lower lip as hard as she could to stop herself from screaming her lungs out.

Shikamaru’s knuckles turned white from her vice-like grip, but he couldn’t find it in him to care. He kept his eyes glued to her face, silently wishing that he was in her place, so he could shoulder all the pain she was feeling. When her screams subsided at last, no baby cries filled the room.

That not normal, is it? With fear in his heart, Shikamaru whipped his head towards Sakura for confirmation. He nearly collapsed in relief when her smiling eyes met his.

“It’s a boy!” Sakura gleefully raised the newborn high for the couple to see, before carefully passing him to Temari’s tired, yet eager arms. She tenderly ran her fingers through strands of black hair sticking out from the top of his head—her son had Shikamaru’s hair.

Shikamaru could only gape wordlessly at the newborn, who barely moved an inch since he was given to Temari. Unlike other babies, his son stayed unusually silent and peered up at them with his mom’s single-lidded almond eyes. The next time he spoke, Shikamaru’s voice was thick with emotion. “Can I hold him?”

Without a word, Temari sat up and carefully set their baby boy into his arms. He stiffly held on to him, as he felt the weight of the life he was partly responsible for cocooned safely in his arms.

A profound feeling suddenly washed over him. I am this boy’s father. The baby in my arms is my son.

Shikamaru felt his eyes warmed as he affectionately gazed down at his beautiful son. “He’s the most perfect gift I can ever ask for,” he croaked out, before a single tear strayed down his cheek.

Even in the state of near exhaustion, Temari couldn’t resist smirking at the reappearance of the crybaby she knew and grew to love. “Even though he interrupted our kiss a while ago?” She teased.

Shikamaru raised his eyes to lock hers in a tender gaze. “Even then. Thank you, Tem, for everything.”

Suddenly overwhelmed by the affection she felt for the man by her side, she cupped his face in her hands and brought her forehead down to his.

“Happy Birthday, Shika.”

The End.

————

It’s exactly midnight, and I decided to start off this special day by showing my appreciation for my favorite man.

Happy Birthday, Shikamaru!💚

In which gift giving has obstacles

For as long as I can remember, the gift giving tradition between myself and INTP has been... well, difficult. By which I mean, we enjoy making it difficult, or at the very least interesting, for the receiver to open said gift.

There was the stock standard ‘I’ve wrapped it in umpteen layers’, the old favourite ‘I just covered the entire thing in one continuous roll of sticky tape’, the ‘I’ve woven zip ties around it so that it covers the entire thing’ and of course the ‘I’ve just created this weird pyramid box so that you can’t guess what’s inside.

Not to mention the ‘I’ve vivisected this pillow pet, stuffed your present inside and stitched it back up like some bizarre, badly done stuffed animal autopsy.’ (Zippers were later added to this pillow pet and have been a staple in our gift giving ever since, being passed back and forth each Christmas or birthday).

It was fun. It was frustrating. It was....

BOUND TO ESCALATE EVENTUALLY.

Needless to say, it did.

In December of 2015 I arrived at INTP’s house for Christmas gift giving to find this:

waiting for me on the table. Why yes, that is indeed my Christmas present wrapped to look like a burger and beverage. I appreciated the effort and creativity.

Then I started opening it. The lettue, tomato and cheese (wrapped in plastic party table cloths) each contained a volume of Avatar the Last Airbender comic. The buns held cushions, which felt odd because we’d never been the types to give cushions and pretty things like that, but whatever. I shrugged it off and moved on to the meat patty. Inside of which was the vivisected and zippered pillow pet pig-owl. With a new addition to it’s zips: a padlock.

“Oooookay?” I said, looking from the padlock to INTP and back quizzically.

“Open the drink,” replied INTP, an evil grin on her face.

I should have run right then, but I have this innate curiosity where I have to know what’s inside of things. Now. Right now. So I opened it, and inside was a cryptext capsule, and modified lyrics to “What’s this?” from Nightmare Before Christmas, essentially telling me that my BIRTHDAY present was inside the pig/owl and the keys to the padlock were inside the cryptex.

Yay.... (o_o)

So basically, I now have my birthday present a month early. IF ONLY I COULD GET INTO IT! On the plus side, I was informed that if I could get into the crpytex early, I could have my present early. YAY MOTIVATION! It was just what my Instant Gratification Issues needed.

As it happens, it only took me about a week to get into the cryptex and I was able to unlock my present to reveal the beautiful, handmade Appa and Momo (Avatar the Last Airbender) cushion covers she’d made for me. (Now the cushions made sense).

On that day, I vowed to give back to her just as bad as she had given me. And with the added bonus of having five months between INTP’s birthday and Christmas.

Helpfully, INTP set some ground rules to guide us.

Rules of the Gift War Pact: 1) Both Christmas and B'day presents will be presented on the same day (ie, INFP gets a Christmas/B'day present on Christmas and INTP gets a B'Day/ Christmas present on her B'day) 2) There will some obstacle in opening the second present. 3) If the receiver of the gift can solve the obstacle they may open the second present prior to B'Day/ Christmas and a replacement present will be given at that time. 4) If the Receiver does NOT solve the obstacle before their b'day/ Christmas, a hint will be given at that time. 5) The Receiver of the present may not open any 'wrapped' parts of the present without the other party present. 6) Preferably the present will be wrapped to look like something else.

And thus, the gift war had begun. For my retaliation, please go here
