Kakashi clears his throat and chuckles nervously. "You didn't drink before I came right?"

[Name] shakes her head and stares at the man in front of her. "I truly want you to move in with me. I desperately need a man in the house."

A lot of pressure hangs on Kakashi's shoulders and he looks away from her pleading eyes.

"I'm sorry but I can't," he says and begins to list many reasons why. "I like my own space, and I have so much stuff that this little space cannot hold. Also, people are still after me and I will not get your family involved in my business. Plus, where is Pakkun going to play? He likes a big yard and-"

[Name] interrupts him. "Okay, okay. I get the point! A simple no would've been nice."

Even after saying that, she feels tears build at the corner of her eyes. She holds them back and clings to Kakashi's arm.

"I'm sorry for saying that so suddenly," she apologizes.

"It's fine. I understand," he says softly while pulling her close. "After having Pein here for a while, you've realized you miss the presence of a man. You appreciated the fact that he took care of the kids while you spent time relaxing and building our relationship."

[Name] nods, thinking he knows her so well. "I love you Kakashi, and I don't want to travel to see you. I want you waiting for me when I get back from work and I want you playing with the kids. I just want you around me at all times."

"[Name], I love you too," he says, comforting her yearning soul. "But please, don't think about that right now. Please, darling, go to sleep."

His voice sounds like a lullaby to her as he continues to whisper romantic words into her ear.

"I love you so much."

"Don't worry, I'll always be here."

"Come closer, let me hold you."

"You're so perfect, I don't deserve you."

Soon, she's asleep and the weight of moving in slips right off of Kakashi's shoulders.

...

[Name] wakes up late and with a cramping stomach to boot. She looks to her side and sees Kakashi is gone. She groans and rolls out of bed. The first thing she does is head to the bathroom, seeing as though her stomach is wanting to kill her.

Right when she sits on the toilet she looks down to see red spots in her panties and groans loudly. She digs into the cabinet next to her and pulls out some feminine products. Wondering if Kakashi is still here, she calls for him.

"Kakashi!"She whines from the bathroom. She hears heavy footsteps coming towards her and sighs with relief. They stop once they reach the door.

"Yes [Name]?" Comes his muffled reply.

"I need some new panties, can you get them for me?" She asks as not only does the cramps hit her, but a headache as well.

"Okay."

She hears him leave as she sits on the toilet miserable. Of all times for her to get her period and it starts now. She doesn't want to drive Kakashi away with her mood swings and tempers, but this is also a great time to gauge how he handles a hormonal woman.

Kakashi returns and assumes he can open the door. He hands her the undergarment and leaves. [Name] changes and places the product between her legs. She sighs and does her business and leaves the bathroom, feeling bloated and disgusting.

The mother sees Kakashi feeding the children omelets and fruit. She smiles but it immediately goes away when she announces, "I have work."

Kakashi looks up from feeding Athena and smiles. "And I don't."

"Will you watch-"

He doesn't allow her to finish. "Of course baby. You don't even have to ask."

"You're a saint Kakashi," she praises and kisses his cheek. "I'll be back later, okay?"

Kakashi hums and continues feeding the baby in front of him while [Name] prepares for work. Once [Name] is in uniform she gives all three of her babies a kiss. One for Athena, one for Nika and a big one for Kakashi.

"I love you," she says blowing kisses at them. "I'll see you later."

...

[Name] has had the worse day of her life. Not once, but twice she bled through her jeans and not only that, her male coworkers were the ones to point it out. She cried in the bathroom three times and had the most awful cravings ever. She forgotten to take painkillers in the morning so her cramps and headaches kicked her ass throughout her shift and by the end of the day, she was sobbing her car.

[Name] returns home after her horrible day and instantly finds her way into her boyfriend's arms. Kakashi is in the middle of cooking dinner, so it's a little hard for him to maneuver around her but he senses that something is wrong.

He turns off the stove, postponing the dinner for now and sits her down.

"What's wrong my love?" He asks cupping her cheeks. He notices her eyes are red and puffy and assumes she's been crying. "Did something happen at work?"

An overflow of tears starts to cascade down her cheeks as she reveals to him all that had happened at work. She finds her way back into his strong arms and cries on his shoulder.

"I completely humiliated myself today!" She cries as she clings to his shirt. He rubs her back soothingly and coos all sorts of sweet words and pet names that make her feel so loved.

Her tears stop as she wipes them from her face. Kakashi pulls her from him and stares into her sad eyes. She whimpers at the loss of touch, threatening to cry again if he doesn't hold her. His arms wrap around her protectively and he sighs.

"I know what you need," he says and she whimpers again. "You need all my attention and all of my affections."

[Name] nods, thankful she has such an understanding man in her life. "I don't deserve you."

He hums and continues on. "But, you need to be patient. I'll give you all of me tonight after the kids are sleeping, but for right now, we need to take care of Nika and Athena."

She listens to his words and focuses in on the "we" aspect of it. He meant as a team, which means he'll help her with the children. Her body relaxes in his arms and she smiles. Ever since she has had children, everything was always placed on her shoulders and she was the one who would be blamed if her children were neglected or abandoned - never Pein. This parenting thing was never a partnership, it was always a one-man team, or in this case, a one-woman team. She did everything while Pein sat on his ass and complained everytime he had to change a diaper or make dinner. A load feels like it's been lifted from her back and all her worries slip away.

[Name] looks up at Kakashi with slight fear and wonder. "You'll help me with the kids?"

"Yes," he replies, cupping her cheeks. "Whatever you and the kids need, I'll supply it for you."

Before [Name] stands a real man. A real man provides and cares for his family and never abandons ship when situations get tough. He's gentle with his woman but would defend her honor even if it kills him. He protects and has his woman's back, but he also knows when to let his woman have the spotlight. He's sensible and has a big, kind heart. Of course, no man can be perfect but [Name] thought the perfect man is right in front of her.

"Kakashi," she breathes. "I love you."

He smiles and leans down to plant a kiss on her lips. "I love you too."
