Chapter One:

"All right Naruto I am off to work. See you at the café for lunch?" Sasuke said as he picked his headband from the kitchen table where Naruto was reading the newspaper. Naruto placed the paper down and looked up at his boyfriend. He smiled at him "Of course I'll be there. Have a good day at work." Naruto said as he stood up and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. Sasuke smirked and left their apartment. Naruto sighed as he looked at the newspaper. He had re-read the article already twice but he read it again.

A couple in Land of the waves wanted to have a child badly. However, the wife could not carry the child to term. Sadden by this; it did not put their hopes down. They looked in to surrogates. They asked a family friend to carry their child. Right now, the couple is happy and waiting for their child to come to the world. Many people take for granted many things but this couple soon to be a family has gone against the odds. The Grand Raips Press wishes them well.

Naruto placed the paper down. He smiled and got up to wash the dishes.

'That's so sweet. A baby…one to teach and care for and all.' Naruto though to him self. Lately Naruto's biological cloak had been ticking.

It started a bout a month ago when one of his co-workers at guard duty had brought his niece to work with him. Kiba was never the one with a cool temper. He toed in the 3-year-old girl. She wore a white colored kimono. She had same clear eyes like Hinata and Neji. Her hair was black like Ten ten's but she had it long like Neji. However, she came in screaming. "Uncle Kiba you said you were talking me to the park! You Lied! Lairer! Awawawaw am telling Aunt Hinata kawakawa." She screamed. Kiba picked her up and brought her to Naruto.

"Hey man. Watch her for me. I can't handle her today. Please?" Kiba begged.

Naruto didn't know anything about kids but said yes to Kiba.

"Great Man. She can already go the bathroom by her self you just have to with her cause she gets scared." Kiba told Naruto as he handed him the child and left to go on his rounds. The girl kept crying in Naruto's arms. Until Naruto spoke to her.

"Hi what's your name?" She stopped crying and looked at him. "Hi…mm my name …is Sasuki." She said in a quite voice. Naruto smiled at her. "That's a cute name. I am Naruto, am friends with your mommy and daddy and Aunt Hinata and Uncle Kiba." Naruto told her as she set her down. Sasuki looked at her shoes then back up Naruto. "Are you going to take me to the park?" she asked with puppy eyes. No doubt, she picked that up from Kiba, No way in Hell Neji or Ten ten did that.

Naruto could feel his guard drop, "Yeah am taking you to the park." Naruto said in defeat. "Hay!" Sasuki cheered as she jumped up.

Naruto asked for his break and took her to the nearest park. The whole time sasuki wanted Naruto to play with her. Naruto noted for a 3 year old she was very brave. Even kids that were six didn't want to go on the high monkey bars but she asked Naruto if he would help her up. Also that she was very graceful even when she eat her ice cream, most kids would have half of the ice cream on them. Yet, sasuki eat it carefully. Neji was probably trying to make her into the perfect child. After her ice cream, she began to sound sleepy. Naruto picked her up and began to walk back to the gate. Naruto was near the gate when someone tapped Naruto on the shoulder that didn't have sasuki's resting head. He turned to see who it was. When he saw it was a woman pushing a twin stroller. She handed him a napkin. "She's drooling on your shoulder here."

"Oh thanks. I am not really good at this." Naruto said as he took the napkin from her.

"Nonsense, I saw you at the park earlier. You are a good father. My husband can barely last 2 minutes with our kids. She is a lucky girl to have you in her life." the women smiled at Naruto. "Thank you." Naruto said as he left the lady to tend to her kids. Naruto entered the guard shack and laid sasuki down to sleep in a chair.

Since then Sasuki had come back two times to see him. Tin-Tin was so amazed at how much Sasuki wanted Naruto. She had given him an invention to Sasuki's birthday party for next month.

Naruto was brought back when he heard the phone ring. Naruto dryed his hands and picked the phone up.

"Hello?" Naruto said.

"Hello Naruto, it's me Hinata."

"Oh how are you doing?"

"Um fine…but well…" Naruto then heard Hinata crying.

"Hinata what's wrong? Did something happen? Tell me!" Naruto said panicked into the receiver.

"Naruto is today your day off?" Hinata asked.

"Yes, what happened?"

"Good, listen I have bad news. Naruto I didn't know who to tell… O haven't even told Kiba yet."

"Hinata what's the bad news?"

"Well don't panic but I think you should know. Sasuki was climbing trees in the backyard; no servants were out with her. I guess she got scared or I don't know but she fell from the top of the tree."

"Is she fine?" Naruto questioned he was sure his heartbeat had speed up.

" Ten ten has already taken her to the hospital. I am waiting for Neji at his office."

"Hinata…" Naruto asked once he felt his heartbeat return.

"Yes."

"I am coming over to the hospital; I'll get Kiba on my way if you want me too."

"Oh yes, I'll him call after this."

"Fine, bye Hinata." Naruto said as he grabbed his jacket.

"Bye." Hinata said and hung up.

Naruto dropped the phone and left the apartment.
