"Jataro, you haven't acted like this all week." Y/N whispered in his ear as she pulled it, making him whine. "What are you doing?!"

"I was pranking momma!" Jataro cried out as she let him go. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a sudden sad look.

"I've never been more disappointed." She said, making him cry. She turned her back on him and grabbed a random bowl. "Are all of them poisoned?" She asked him as he shook his head no.

"Only Neji's." He whimpered disappointedly. "I didn't mean to make you disappointed." Jataro cried as she patted his back.

"What's wrong with Neji? You haven't acted out like this ever. I totally expected this kind of behavior from Masaru." Y/N said while fixing him with a look. Jataro whimpered, shifting from feet from feet.

"Nothing Momma, I was being bad. I'm sorry." Jataro apologized tearfully. She rubbed his head with a sigh.

"You have one more chance. I'll make the rest of the bowls and you have to go get them." Y/N sternly said to him. "I won't tell Neji but you have to be nice." Y/N said and turned with a huff as Jataro wiped his eyes softly.

"Okay mommy." Jataro quickly excused himself and instead of going to the living room, he went straight to Y/N's room with a smirk. He walked over her closet and took a deep breath, and entered it. He quickly went over to her box of naked pictures she hid pretty well in her closet, and took one and quickly went back to the living room.

"It's dinner time." Jataro sang excitedly as Ko jumped up. She quickly led the toddlers off with the help of Nagi and Matsaru. Jataro quickly stopped Neji from walking, wrapping his arms around Neji's legs. "Hi Uncle Neji!" Jataro squealed as he tripped against him, dropping the picture into Neji's back pocket.

"Hi buddy." Neji chuckled as Jataro cuddled against him. "Will you sit next to me uncle?" Jataro asked as Neji nodded.

Y/N picked up every toddler and placed them into the  highchairs she had placed around the table. She smiled as Sarada yawned. "Someone's tired."

"We played ALL day." Boruto explained loudly, a little yawn escaping his mouth as Neji and Jataro entered. Kotoko slid into her chair next to Nagi, the two of them discussing with each other quietly as they each placed a toddler into a seat.

"I know! Neji looks tired." Y/N teased as Neji shrugged lightly, a smile on his face as Jataro patted the seat next to him. Masara went to sit on the other side of Neji, but Jataro shook his head.

"Mommy sits here." Jataro insisted, making Y/N smile at him.

"Thanks kiddo." Y/N placed the bowls around the table, serving the youngest first then moving around until everyone was eating.

"Dinner is amazing." Neji complimented her nicely as she sat down next to him, smelling his bowl. "This rice and curry is one of my favorites." He smirked at her as she blushed over her bowl.

"Thanks, I don't have much company. I'm glad to cook whenever I can." Y/N smiled and dug into her bowl. Jataro sneakily looked up at her, and away.

Nagi fixed him with a blank look. "Mother, how long have you known Uncle Neji?" Nagi asked, watching as all the babies ate loudly. They were using their spoons messily, Ko already having tied their bibs around their necks.

"I've known Neji since I was a little girl, younger than you guys." Y/N smiled. "We worked together a lot, right Neji?"

"I also saved her butt multiple times." Neji smirked as Y/N hit him, laughing happily to herself.

"He's a dork." Y/N sighed. "But yes he has saved my life." Y/N explained to Nagi with a smile. Nagi nodded, shooting a warning look to Jataro.

"This is so good momma." Nagi complimented her. The rest of the dinner was quiet, the kids playing quietly and Neji and Y/N talking amongst themselves quietly.

"Sorry if he shot you dirty looks, he's normally possessive I agree." Y/N laughed as Neji rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, his character doesn't affect yours at all." Neji smirked but looked over his shoulder as they heard crying from afar. "I've got her." Neji explained as Y/N smiled. She went back to her own bowl as Neji stood up, Jataro smirking as a picture fluttered to the bowl.

Y/N ate quickly, Jataro clearing his throat. "Hey Momma?"

"Yes cutie?" She asked him. "Something is wrong with your food?"

"No." Nagi said cutely. "What's that picture Uncle Neji dropped?" Jataro said with a smirk as Neji came back, the two of them looking confused as Y/N looked down.

She blinked three times, then spit out her glass of water all over Matsaru as she choked. Neji grew bright red when he saw what she was looking out, backing up. "That's not mine!" He said quickly, his nose bleeding as he saw her posing.

"Neji.." Y/N mumbled, coughing as she tried to clear her breath. Nagi watched Jataro eat his bowl quietly, a calm look on his face.

"What is it Auntie?" Sarada asked sweetly, trying to get a look at what Y/N was snatching up.

"Neji if you wanted to see me like that, you could have asked." Y/N laughed it off, pocketing her photo. Neji almost passed out at her boldness as she went back to her curry. "You didn't have to snoop." She added, eating happily.

"Oh dear lord. Y/N I don't know how that picture got into my possession." Neji blushed harder. "I think I'll eat with Himi, she's a bit fussy." Neji took his bowl quickly, fast walking back to the babies room. Y/N grinned.

"Was it that bad?" She took the picture out to observe it herself, making the kids laugh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N sighed over the sink full of dishes, Boruto at her feet nuzzling her knees. "Are you sure you don't want to go with Neji, buddy?" Y/N asked him once again. Boruto shook his head no, squishing his face against her knees as he cried. Y/N sighed. Boruto was the most clingiest out of the bunch and didn't want to go play the older kids.

"Ahem." Neji cleared his throat as he entered, picking Boruto up. "I could get those." Neji offered, not looking her in the eye. Y/N smirked.

"It's just boobs and butt geez. Clan people are always so stuffy." Y/N sighed, making Neji blush harder.

"You know me, I would not take or steal pictures like that!" Neji insisted, Y/N nodding with a smile.

"I figured it was the kids." Y/N laughed to herself. "I didn't peg you as a pervert." Y/N smiled. Neji nodded, chuckling awkwardly as he leaned against the counter.

"Can I ask you a question?" Neji asked. "Why did you take pictures like that if you're single?" Neji asked uncomfortably. She smirked.

"I can't be comfortable in my body?" Y/N smirked back as she popped her hip to the side. "I've never had a problem with that, you know?" Y/N smiled as Neji nodded, a short smile on his face. She finished the dishes quietly and picked Boruto up. "Can you help me put the kids to bed?" Y/N asked quietly. Neji nodded as she handed Boruto over.

Y/N went room to room, checking on the kids who were tired after a long day. Nagi was passed out on the floor, making her smile at him and Shikadei cuddled up together. Nagi had been reading him a storybook by the looks of the large book draped on his chest. She picked up both kids easily, tucking them up and over onto the top bunk.

"You're getting heavier squirts." Y/N muttered to herself, smiling happily as she tucked the boys in. She met Neji in the hall who had Sarada in his arms, sleeping happily.

"They are really asleep." Nagi complimented. "We tired them out alot!"

"Actually.. Yeah." Y/N corrected herself, sheepishly smiling. She might have slept a couple drops of sleeping serum into all the kids' bowls. "Put her in Ko's bunk, I've got Ko." Y/N picked up the big girl tiredly walking down the hall.

"I'm sleepy momma." Ko whined, rubbing her eyes. "I wanna sleep with you." She then let out a tiny snore as Y/N patted her back. She tucked the kids one by one into the bunk beds. When it was just her and Neji, she raised an eyebrow at him with his packed bags.

"Neji you don't have to go!" Y/N chuckled as the boy shook his head.

"I was going to camp out in the living room, just in case they wake up throughout the night." Neji chuckled. "Trust me I've pulled overnighters longer than this." Neji smirked as she shook her head.

"Me too. I'm not tired. I'm gonna grab a drink after I change. When are you done, meet me in the bar for a drink?" Y/N asked innocently, turning her back on him as he nodded at her. Y/N winked at him as she left the hall, going off to find herself an out.

Neji's eyes widened when she met him in the bar room wearing a revealing outfit. He was sitting on the loveseat by the bar. "You really are something." He mumbled, the tips of his lips lifting when she opened her silk robe to reveal her matching silk shorts and top. She stood behind the bar and opened the bottom case.

"Pick your poision." She mumbled, lifting a large case onto the top of the bar. "Preferably something already opened." She smiled, grabbing two glasses behind her on the shelf.

"A glass of wine before bed never hurt anyone." He shrugged lightly as she poured the two of them a glass of white wine. "This is very fine drinking." Neji said as he politely held the glass to his lips, watching her smirk.

"Always so stiff." She teased, sitting down on the loveseat with him. He suddenly felt under dressed in his normal long legged pants and tank top. Y/N bit her lip at him, making him blush lightly under her intense gaze as she observed the muscles bulging under his tank top.

"Geez Neji-kun are you 21 or 12?" Y/N asked him with a smile. Neji sputtered.

"Your just really carefree Y/N." Neji chuckled. "You know I'm not used to that." He said as she moved closer until her knees touched his. She nodded, sipping her wine slowly.

"Anyway Neji, I very much do appreciate you helping me out here tonight." Y/N chuckled. "I know Hinata practically forced you. I'm just glad you were here." She said with a smile. He shook his head no, his long hair fluttering by her side.

"When I heard you were back, I immediately accepted. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. When you left, you looked very lost." Neji murmured, making her smile sheepishly. He put his hand on her bare knee and squeezed it. "I daresay that you look found." He whispered, his forehead leaning closer to her.

Y/N closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering closed. Just before he got close enough to kiss, the door slammed open with a wail. The two of them ripped apart.

"Mommy!" Jataro yelled, making her jump up to shush him.

"Im ready here!" Y/N whispered, putting her drink down as she moved over to the blubbering kid. He was whining, pulling at his ear.

"My ear hurts really bad." He whimpered as Y/N softened.

"Oh no, what do I do Neji?" Y/N looked at Neji worried. "Could if be a normal ear ache, or an infection?" She asked him as he quickly moved over to Jataro. Neji grabbed Jataro's face gently, inspecting it. On instinct, Jataro jumped.

"It's okay buddy. Let me see." Neji calmly said. Y/N held Jataro's hand as the boy whimpered in pain. "The area is inflamed and really red." Neji sighed.

Y/N felt his forehead, not feeling anything unusual. "I'll run a cold towel?" Y/N asked Neji. He nodded.

"I'll put him in bed. Neji picked Jataro up, putting him on his hip.

"In mommy's bed." Jataro whined. Y/N looked at him with a sigh.

"Jataro you have to sleep in your own bed, that's what it's for." She said gently. Neji cleared his throat.

"With all due respect Y/N, you should keep him in your room and keep an eye on him." Neji said, watching as Jataro fidgeted and whined like a sick child.

"Is it that bad? Oh no!" Y/N exclaimed as she looked into his ear. It was bright red. Jataro cried out loud as she pulled it lightly. "I'll take him." Y/N took him and held him to her chest.

"Don't be worried Y/N, it could go away." Neji smiled at her as she walked upstairs. Neji found them in Y/N's bedroom, Jataro whimpering as Neji placed the towel on his ear and face.

"Thank you." Y/N added, a soft look on her face as she went to hold Jataro's hand. "Are you okay sweetie?"

"Yeah mommy. Can you stay with me?" He asked lightly, his voice sounding weak. Y/N gave Neji a freaked out look.

"Do you think I should just jump ship and go get Sakura?" Y/N frowned. "Or Naruto?"

"No." Neji patted her back. "Children are less fragile then thing. Let him rest until tomorrow. Whatever is hurting him can wait until morning." Negi sat down on her other side. Y/N patted her other side, but Jataro whined.

"Uncle Neji, please sit with me." Jataro whimpered. Neji obliged but scooped Jataro into her arms. "You're warm." He said drowsily as she rocked him, holding a wet Towel to his ears.

"Just go to sleep honey, it'll feel better tomorrow." Y/N pleaded with him. Jataro stayed awake for a while, incredibly sleepy as Y/N kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight, I'll be in the other room." Neji directed Y/N when he was asleep. "You're really doing right by these children." Neji complimented her as she lowered Nagi on the bed.

"Goodnight, and thank you." Y/N smiled back as he stopped by the door.

"Y/N, can I ask you something?" Neji murmured. "Did you perhaps change your mind on the mission?" He asked her curiously, making her smile as she rubbed Jataro's head.

"I don't know Neji, you'll just have to find out." She shrugged as she clapped her hands. The lights went out immediately, signally darkness.

Neji cleared his throat and left the room, a cocky smirk on his face as he imagined a child like evening with her.

Y/N however leaned back, quickly checking on Jataro. He was doing better, a tiny snore in the room. She laid her head on the pillow, tired as she closed her eyes lightly.

................................

"You did what?!" Naruto snapped at Sasuke as they rang the doorbell on to Y/N's house.

"I know." Sasuke shrugged lightly.  "If you love me, you won't tell her."

"Sasuke are you fucking serious. We literally talked about trusting her to date whoever she wants last time." Naruto huffed, the two of them arguing.

"Hi Papa!" Nagi opened the door and ran into Sasuke's arms. Nagi wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist.

"Hey brat, where's your mom at?" Sasuke asked as he looked around the living room. Nagi shrugged lightly.

"She and Uncle Neji are in her room with the door closed.  They've been there for a while." Nagi shrugged, looking upwards at Sasuke innocently. Nagi then went over to Naruto, hugging him as well.

"Hi Uncle." Nagi held Naruto's legs for safety as Sasuke immddienfly took off. Naruto and Nagi followed him, Sasuke immediately kicking the bedroom down without even asking questions.

"Y/N!" Sasuke howled as he kicked it down, the door opening with a resounding crack. Naruto's jaw dropped, looking at Nagi who was laughing.

"Uh oh, looks like they're gone." Neji chuckled sheepishly. "Maybe you should ask Jataro, papa." Nagi then left quickly. Naruto looked down at the door in shock.

"Sasuke, she's going to be so mad." Naruto warned him, rubbing his forehead and temples. "You are such an asshole."

"Maybe.. I paid for that door however." Sasuke shrugged. They looked around the house but ran into Jataro, who was sitting with Boruto quietly.

"Hey kid!" Sasuke teased lightly. "How did the night go?"

"It went well, Momma had no idea you tricked her!" He smiled. Sasuke's smile dropped.

"I didn't trick her. I just withheld information." Sasuke sighed.

Naruto blinked at him. "Baka, you're on your own with this." Naruto said with his hands thrown up. "Y/N-Chan was probably cranky last night, which means she'll be worse if she finds out what you did.

"Well you know what, it's done." Sasuke said. Jataro nodded.

"Your right father. It's over once you give me the money for your payment." Jataro smirked. "Fifteen will do."

"What?!" Sasuke snarled, unamused. "I paid your $40 yesterday." He exclaimed as Jataro stood up, sucking his teeth.

"No Papa, you paid the cash deposit." Jataro explained. "Adults." He then grumbled in the same way an adult would about laws or taxes.

Naruto gave Sasuke a wtf look. "Sasuke, look what you've gotten involved in." He sighed at him. "Y/N trusts us and I'd like to keep it that way."

"Yeah Papa, it's only right that Momma doesn't find out." Jataro smirked.

The door opened, Y/N coming in from a fresh shower. "Sasuke, Naruto!?" She squealed in surprise, but fixed her face clearly.

"It's only right I don't find out what?" She then asked firmly. Sasuke and Naruto gulped.
