As being a very kind, polite, and caring person. These characteristics are said to be his greatest strength by both his father Chōza and his former teacher Asuma Sarutobi while his greatest weakness was his lack of self-confidence. He is easily motivated by the prospect of food, and becomes highly agitated when somebody calls him "fat" (he refers to himself as "big-boned", "chubby") Asuma would say that he is just "pleasantly plump". However, he does not hide his love for food and his near-constant hunger is also an annoyance to his teammates, as eating often comes before other necessities such as stealth and teamwork. As for reasons to why I wrote him, just like the others. Seriously, the people I write in this book are all underrated.

Fun Fact: Choji's hobby is buying and eating snacks (just like us :3)

It's been a few months after Naruto and Hinata's wedding.

Your period was late. It was late by more than a couple of days; by two weeks. Which is why you were out here at the pharmacy picking up a pregnancy test. You felt restless until you knew for sure. This wasn't the first scare you had, so you weren't too expectant of the test being positive, but you were concerned about your health if you weren't pregnant.

You tapped your foot impatiently in line as you waited to pay. You threw in some candy and other household items with your purchase to not make it look so obvious as to why you were there. You couldn't wait to get home. The nerves were building up inside you. Your mind was racing as it had before when this happened.

You had panicked drastically the first time you were late by a couple of days and had told your boyfriend Choji immediately. Of course, he became concerned for you and suggested you get tested. Both of you waited anxiously for the results of the little pee stick only to both laugh and breathe a sigh of relief when it came back negative.

The thought of kids and having babies together had come up in conversation before and you two both knew you wanted them, but particularly, you two didn't want them yet. Choji was still climbing up in his career at the time and he wanted to become more situated to have time to spend with his kids.

You, on the other hand, wanted to hold off on having kids. Mostly because you were nervous about them. You loved everybody else's kids, but you loved the fact more that you could give them back after you were done holding them. You didn't know what kind of mom you would be, but you knew you wanted to be a good one.

You didn't tell Choji this time when you were late. You didn't want to concern him if it was nothing again. Finally, you got up to the counter and had all your products checked out. The cashier placed your items in a bag and soon you were on your way back home. You walked swiftly through the streets of Konoha and to your lovely apartment shared with Choji. If you were having kids, you would like to move out of this apartment and get a house instead, you thought as you unlocked the door.

Your plans about having babies were halted the moment you walked into your living space. In front of you, you witnessed Choji gathering his ninja gear and essentials.

"Choji-Kun?" you spoke gathering his attention from the entryway. "You got assigned a mission?"

"Yea. It will be real quick though. I'll probably be back within a few days," he answered, after having looked up at you. He didn't pause in his packing.

"When are you leaving?" you wondered. You felt a knot in your stomach. It wasn't usual for Choji to be assigned missions unless it was highly ranked due to his position now as captain of a new team other than team 10.

"Now," Choji answered, his voice monotone. "Don't worry, Shikamaru's coming with me."

"Oh."

You knew why he was leaving now, and you felt some relief since the leaf's genius would be with him, but at the same time, it was his job to finish the mission even at the expense of his life. You knew Choji was strong and capable, and you knew his position and rank were honorable. You were proud of him for all he had accomplished and yet, you were still nervous for him.

Your pause at the door, this drew Choji's concern.

He came over to you. His hand touched your cheek, drawing your eyes to him. "I'll be back. Don't stress."

You nodded and he leaned in for a kiss. Your lips softly brushed each other and when he broke away, you saw the love he had in his eyes. He then looked down.

"Do you need help carrying anything in?" he questioned about to reach for the bag.

You quickly moved the bag from his reach and shook your head quickly. "Nope. This is it. I got it." you laughed casually.

He gave you an odd look but shrugged it off. He went back to the living room to grab his kunai pouch off the table that he had packed while you scurried off to the bedroom to put your bag down. You came back out to give him one last big hug before he left.

You felt safe in his arms, but the moment he let go and kissed your lips goodbye again, you felt uneasy. The thought of your possible pregnancy coming to mind, but you knew telling him right now would only distract him from his current mission. He had to leave. He couldn't wait to know the news with you and you wanted him to have a clear head.

When he left, you made your way to the bedroom and searched inside the bag for the test. You went to the bathroom to do your business and all that was left was the waiting game.

While you waited, you tried not to psych yourself out. Your mind was also on Choji and you tried to convince yourself that he will be okay. Being with a partner that was a shinobi was rough and took a lot of work. Some things couldn't be shared and a lot of times spent apart. You wondered how raising a kid would be together.

When the time was up, you took a big breath before flipping the test result over. You blinked absently and had to re-read the directions to make sure you were reading the test correctly. Once you had your answer, you felt surprisingly calm. You sat back on your bathroom floor with your head against the wall, looking up at the ceiling.

You were going to be a mom.
