DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the Naruto characters. Unfortunately, the lucky geezer to Masashi Kishimoto does. If I did, Gaara and Kiba would live at my house for MY entertainment only :P

"I… I have a suggestion," Minato said hesitating and fumbled nervously with the sheets. He was avoiding his wife's green eyes, which were filled with amusement. Kushina spread her lips in a smile, while looking at her blushing husband.

"And? Are you going to tell me, or do I have to guess it?" She asked while putting her hands on the bed, and leaning closer to the blonde man, troubled by her big stomach. The blonde laughed a little, and scratched the back of his head while pulling out a small book from somewhere behind him.

"Remember this? It's Jiraiya-sensei's book," He said, and handed the book to his red-haired wife, a smiled plastered on his face. Kushina raised her eyebrows in curiosity, and took the book, causing Minato to continue.
"The main person's name is Naruto. He's a ninja, and he is… Fantastic! He's a believer, who never gives up and…" He smiled, and reached out to lay an arm around Kushina's shoulders, while putting his other hand on her stomach, stroking it gently. "I want our son to be like that." His blue eyes met her green ones. His blush became stronger, and spread across his cheeks, barely noticeable in the dark. There was silent for a while, before the bedroom was filled with the sound of Kushina's light giggle, causing Minato to go through several feelings; confusion, disappointment and sadness. Well… At least he had tried.

"Ji-Jiraiya is going to be thrilled!" She exclaimed with a giggle, and wiped away a tear of laugher. Minato stared at the red-haired female with disbelief.

"So… You like it?" He asked nervously; a hopeful smile spreading his lips. Kushina grabbed the hand on her stomach with a smile.

"Like it? I love it!" She kissed him on the cheek, before looking down at her belly. "Uzumaki Naruto…" She whispered, and stroked her stomach. She looked up, amusement glittering in her eyes. " You do realize his nickname is going to be 'fishcake', right?" Minato laughed, and laid his hand above Kushina's.

"Sounds great to me. Kinda adorable, don't you think?" He smiled and kissed her, while pulling both her and their unborn child closer into a tight hug.
