Kakashi felt foolish. Never had he entertained these sort of thoughts, and they made him feel foolish. He was beginning to wonder if he could live with himself if he had made his original decision. Would it dishonor his family name? Would his father be disappointed? If there was one thing in this world that Kakashi craved, it was the approval of his father, despite the fact that Sakumo was deceased. He wanted to honor his father, one of the best men he'd ever known. It was safe to say that Kakashi had daddy issues, but he would never acknowledge that out loud.
He felt very foolish for coming to Tsume about this. Who else could he turn to with experience in this particular subject though? She'd been a single parent for ages, surely she could help him. He walked up the lane towards the front door; he couldn't hesitate in knocking on the door or think about running away. She probably already knew he was on the property. So, he knocked promptly on her door, then shoved his hands in his pockets and waited. What was he getting himself into?

As expected, Tsume had smelled Kakashi the moment he entered her property--well, sooner really, but she hadn't paid him any mind until he'd veered off the beaten path and onto the walk of her house. The men she fooled around with were typically smart enough not to come to her place for it; she couldn't remember if Genma had ever even set foot on her property. Kakashi had a bit more grounds to, being friendly with Kiba's sensei, but she doubted he was here about that given that her son was now a jounin.
As soon as he knocked on the door, she was pulling it open, ready for whatever he was here for. She stepped outside her house and closed the door behind her as well, a feeble attempt to keep her children from overhearing, but she knew if they cared they would listen in regardless. Her arms crossed over her chest and she tilted her head to the side, eyebrow quirking in obvious annoyance. "What exactly do you think you need enough to come to my house looking for it, huh?" she asked, sure that her assumptions about his presence her right--some men were just so pathetically weak, it was embarrassing.

Kakashi should have known Tsume would have assumed he was coming to 'beg' to her. But that was not the case. He knew the boundaries of their relationship, and he would never come calling to her at her house for it. He was beginning to wonder if he'd made a mistake coming to her with this specifice problem. "Well, it's certainly not about anything you would ever guess." He answered, his voice cool and level, despite the fact that his mind was running a mile a minute. He wanted to run so badly, afraid he'd made a huge mistake.
Clearing his throat, he asked, "Are Kiba and Hana away? I have a question I'd like to ask you." He knew this information wouldn't be enough to satiate Tsume's curiosity, so he added, "It's personal. I'd prefer if you were the only who heard and answered my inquiries." Kids were no laughing matter, and Tsume's children had turned out alright. Why not ask her about what being a single parent was like?

Tsume squinted at Kakashi's first line, a little relieved he said that--mostly because she really didn't like the idea of her playthings following her home. But it didn't make her anymore aware of what they were about to discuss, because most of Kakashi and Tsume's conversations together involved her flirting with him in public to ruffle his feathers or talking about their dogs, and neither of those seemed like very viable options at the moment.
"Kiba's in," Tsume replied, almost an automatic answer it was so obvious. When was her son ever not home anymore? Her lazy son spent every day he could inside--it was embarrassing. Pausing for a moment, Tsume knew Kiba wouldn't listen if he wasn't interested, but there was no way she could know whether this conversation caught his attetion or not. Sighing, she grabbed Kakashi's arm, tugging him a little ways from her house, far enough that she knew he wouldn't listen. "What is it, Kakashi?"

Hearing that Kiba was home put Kakashi more on edge that he already was. He had to make Tsume promise to keep Kiba's mouth shut if he heard any of what they were about to discuss, because if she wasn't going to, he would. Kakashi was already horribly embarrassed, he didn't need the whole village (or Naruto for that matter) to know his business. He couldn't stand it when others tried to give him advice unless he asked for it. He was a very pensive person, and preferred to keep his personal matters to himself.
He had no choice but to go in as Tsume ripped him inside the door. A small flush rose to his cheeks as she inquired once more what he wanted to speak with her about. He let out a distressed sigh, rubbing the back of his head, before replying meekly, "...I...wanted to ask you...about kids." Kakashi wasn't a meek man, and it was clear that he was in a vulnerable state.

Tsume didn't miss the pink tinge in his cheeks when as she waited for him to speak, immediately narrowing her eyes as she wondered what he might be able to say. The only thing she could think of that made Hatake Kakashi blush was when she teased him in front of people--or, when he was drinking, but the blush from alcohol hardly counted. That aside, he was a fairly shameless man and the fact that he was stammering and blushing only put her more on edge for what he was about to say.
She almost breathed out a sigh of relief when he finally spoke, relieved he wasn't going to do anything stupid or childish--she was too old for romantic flights of fancy and she was not interested in them, anyway. That said, she didn't understand what he meant, and her relief only lasted until the confusion set in. "About kids? What, do you have to train another set of genin? I think you can do that on your own; the last batch you trained are practically gods now." She crossed her arms, frowning at him expectantly.

Tsume's answer only flustered Kakashi even further. No, that is not what he had meant. He despised the fact that he was going to have to elaborate. He knew he shouldn't expect others to be mind readers, but he wished it with his whole being right now that Tsume had understood him. He was immensely embarrassed of his vulnerability and naivete on the subject of child rearing. Hatake Kakashi did not like showing his weaknesses to others; in fact, he preferred that people saw him as a powerful and mysterious person. It made his life easier.
Clearing his throat, he shook his head. "I can handle a group of 12 year olds just fine. But no, I am not taking on another genin team." He was out of the jounin-sensei business for a while. Team 7 was going to be hard to top. With a sigh, he rubbed the back of his head again, before clarifying. "It's..." he coughed, "...uh....it's babies I'm talking about." He hoped that was enough clarification. He really didn't want to have to come out and say 'Tsume, I'm thinking about adopting, would I be good dad?'
