When Hinata informed Naruto that she was pregnant again with a smile on her face, Naruto had no idea what was about to happen.
Soon, he was nervously pacing in the hospital corridor.
Boruto was over at Shikadai's when Hinata began feeling the pain.
He felt nervous for some reason; probably for Hinata.
He could hear her grunts and cries from inside the room where Sakura, Tsunade and some other nurses had disappeared.
After a good while, Hinata's cries subsided, and Naruto waited, filled with anticipation.
But it took much longer than he thought it should.
After an eternity, Sakura emerged from the room. There was a smile plastered on her face but for some reason, her eyes were filled with... sorrow?
Her hands, unknowingly, kept tugging the end of her top.
"Congratulations Naruto, its a boy" she said with a genuine smile.
Naruto's heart flooded with joy and a smile broke out on his face.
But that look in Sakura's eyes disturbed him.
"And...?" He asked.
She took a deep breath "Naruto... its" she paused and clutched her eyes shut. Then she took a breath and exhaled heavily.
"Naruto your child... he is... blind"
Naruto felt his heart pause for a second. Then he felt the overpowering grief.
A child blind since birth? That was enough to break his heart. To think that he would never be able to see the beautiful colors of the world.
He shook his head.
He could grief later. Right now, he should feel joy as he was blessed by a second child.
"Its fine Sakura..." he said with as much encouragement as he could muster. She smiled back as she led him into the room.
Upon seeing Hinata laying peacefully on the bed, his heart felt lighter.
Then he cautiously peered into the crib.
His child was beautiful.
He had gotten his mother's blue hair, though a shade darker.
He had Naruto's blue eyes, though... they were clearly blank.
He felt his heart ache as the child whimpered and reached out with his chubby little hands. He caught one hand felt the child clutch it and tug.
His child would grow up to be a fine man. A fine shinobi. Naruto would make sure of it.
When Hinata woke up, Naruto took it upon himself to inform her of their child's... disability.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she took their child into her arms.
She placed a soft kiss on his forehead and said "He won't be held back by this; he will become strong"
Naruto wholeheartedly agreed with her.

In this fanfic Himawari doesn't exist and in her place our main character takes birth. I had to do this because the age difference doesn't work out.
A question for all: I would like to keep the identity of the main character a secret, so I didn't mention his name in the 'character' slot, until you figure it out or I reveal it. So, should I spoil the fun by putting his name or let you figure it out and reveal later?
