After the war things were still changing, more for the better than for the worse. Although Gaara still had trouble regulating his sleep and being able to overcome the years of insomnia he had to undergo in order not to lose control over Shukaku, he also had a family to protect. A family that always waited for him at home after a hard day's work as the leader of Suna.

The house was silent when he arrived, indicating that Shinki was asleep. After being adopted by you, Gaara dedicated himself to train Shinki to teach him to control his Magnet Release, which left the little one more tired than usual.

"It's weird when it's quiet," Gaara muttered, referring to the house, when he saw you sitting on the couch. The redhead took off his coat and hung it by the door, thus approaching you and planting a kiss on your forehead.

Gaara had been working a lot lately. The usual paperwork had turned into piles and piles of things he had to sort out for himself and then sign, but his responsibilities at home didn't get out of the way and he was always looking for a way to get home early to be with you and continue training Shinki.

Now, after so many years of suffering, you found yourselves living the perfect life. Gaara never believed he could get married, have someone to love him, let alone start a family. But things promised a lot for the three of you and he was willing to protect you from everything and everyone.
