ENJOY

The sun had long ago set and the sky outside was pitch black, but Naruto was still hard at work. Currently sitting in his home office the blonde's eyes drooped as he went over the new proposal from the Fire Daimyo about the mission rates for the New Year. He understood the need of the clients but they needed to understand that his shinobi were humans too and needed rest. All these requests would run his ninja to the ground. He let out a deep exasperated groan in frustration. When he was finally named Hokage Naruto did not think he would be spending his nights staring at paper.

"Another long night?"

The blonde looked up and saw his wife standing in the doorway. "Sorry, did I wake you?"

"No. Tonight it was the baby." Naruto's eyes went to her enlarged stomach. Hinata was nine months pregnant meaning the baby was due any day now. "It seems to be kicking a lot tonight for some reason."

Naruto immediately jumped up. "Is it time?! Should I call for Sakura?"

Hinata laughed. "No, no. I'm not in labor. The baby is just moving a lot it seems."

Naruto fell back into his seat. This waiting game was taking a toll on him. He couldn't wait to see his child and give them the life he never had. "I don't think I can handle this for much longer. The anticipation is killing me."

"I know what you mean. I can't wait to see if it's a boy or a girl."

"I don't know why you don't want to find out?" It had been a long argument between the two on if they wanted to learn the sex, but Hinata had won out saying she wanted it to be a surprise.

Naruto would admit it made everything more exciting and it gave them time to come up with all different sorts of baby names. "Have you decided on what you want to baby's name to be if it's a girl yet?"

Hinata shook her head. "Not yet."

The two of them agreed that if it was a boy Naruto would get to name him and if it was a girl then Hinata would name her.

"Do you know what you want to name him?"

"I know that I have been throwing all different names at you, but I think I have finally decided that if it's a boy then I want to name him after my father."

Hinata nodded. "That's a good idea. He would have your father's name and carry your mother's surname."

Naruto let out a long yawn. "Exactly, I want to honor both of them for their sacrifice."

Hinata grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her husband and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I think it's a wonderful name. Now, how about I make you some tea?"

"I'm pretty sure that I'm the one that's supposed to be taking care of you in your condition." Naruto joked.

"Being pregnant isn't a condition. I'm perfectly capable of making some simple tea." She then walked out of the room towards the kitchen.

Naruto watched her go and wondered how he had gotten so lucky to have found such the perfect woman. It took him a while but she was patient and he would always be grateful for that. Because once he asked her out he had fallen for her fast and fallen for her hard. He couldn't imagine what his life would be without her by his side.

But Naruto was broken from his trance when he heard the sound of something breaking coming from the kitchen. He moved so flash that he would have put the yellow flash to shame. Hinata was crouched on the floor holding her stomach in pain.

"Hinata whats the matter?" Naruto came to kneel beside her.

"I…I think…" Hinata could barely breath. "I think the baby is coming." She clenched her teeth as another contraction took over.

Naruto's eyes widened in realization. "Now? Really? Are you sure?"

Hinata grabbed onto his hand and squeezed so hard that Naruto thought his hand was going to break. "Yes I'm sure."

Naruto went into action. He scooped Hinata into his arms bridal style and summoned one of his clones. "Go to the hospital and tell them that we are coming." He ordered, he then looked down at his wife with loving eyes. "Don't worry sweetie, we will be there in no time."

He moved so fast that he could have been called the Orange Flash because that could be seen was a streak of orange as he ran down the street. Soon they came to the Konoha Hospital front door where a stretcher was waiting for them.

"How long has she been in labor?" Sakura asked immediately.

"Not that long. Maybe a couple of minutes."

"Has her water broke?"

"I'm not sure. She was making tea when it happened so there was water everywhere."

"Don't worry. We will take good care of her."

Hinata gave Naruto's hand a squeeze before she was rolled away. The blonde paced the waiting room. He would sit down for a minute and then get right back up again. Finally after what felt like an eternity a nurse walked out.

"The baby has not arrived yet but she's asking for you."

Naruto followed her into the room and had to duck before something hit him in the face. He turned as saw that it was a rather thick book.

"I f****** hate you Naruto Uzumaki!" Hinata yelled from the bed.

Naruto was shocked. He had never heard his sweet Hinata use such language.

"Don't worry, this is normal when giving childbirth. Just go over and hold her hand and don't say anything." The nurse advised.

Naruto did what he was told and went to stand next to his wife. He took hold her hand. Her palms were sweaty and her face was flush and she looked like she was in a great amount of pain. He felt awful that he couldn't do anything about it.

"That's it Hinata…push…." Sakura coaxed her.

Hinata grinded her teeth, squeezed Naruto's hand, and pushed with all her might.

"That's good. Just a couple more pushes and we will be good."

Just as she was going to try again a loud crash was heard and shook the entire building. It was then followed by the sound of people screaming.

"What's going on?" Naruto demanded.

One of the nurses went to the window and let out a scream. "It's…it's…."

But Naruto was already at the window and what he saw made his heart drop. "That's impossible." Naruto looked out in fear as what looked like the Kyuubi destroying the village. He turned to look at his wife. "This can't be happening. Why now?" He just pictured his own father in a similar position, having to choose between his family and his village.

"Go." Hinata said with labored breaths. "Take care of the village so our child has a place to call home."

"But…"

"I SAID GO!" Hinata shut her eyes and pushed as another contraction came.

Naruto quickly gave Hinata a kiss. "I love you."

"And I love you." She then gave him a gentle push. "No go do what you do best."

He gave her a smile before he jumped out the window.

Naruto went into his Sage Mode and cautiously made his way to the beast. He did not believe it to be the real Kyuubi because he could still feel its presence within him. This was obviously some type of imposter.

"You choose the worse time to come here and for that I'm going to beat the living hell out of you." He called out to the beast.

The fox like creature turned and stared at Naruto with its large eyes, but Naruto was unfazed. He had been staring at those eyes for all his life.

Now that he had the monster's attention Naruto went into his Six Paths Sage Mode. "I have no time to waste. I need to get back to Hinata." He thought before he ran at the monster. With his increased speed and power Naruto was quickly defeating the beast. As time went on it seemed the monster was slowing down and weakening. When it stopped fighting back Naruto began to get suspicious, but before he could find out more the Kyuubi look alike began to glow and in its place was a small bird who turned and flew away.

Naruto landed on the ground in the middle of the rubble. "What the? It's like that thing didn't even want to fight it just wanted to get my attention." And suddenly Naruto got an overwhelming feeling of dread as he raced back to the hospital.

Although the monster never made it even close to the hospital the place was destroyed. There was debris everywhere along with the injured. One side of the hospital was completely ripped out. While nurses were racing everywhere to help the wounded Naruto only cared about one patient at the moment. He ran for Hinata's room and what he saw made him fall to his knees in agony.

Lying on the floor, unconscious, was Sakura and the nurses. There was so much blood that Naruto couldn't tell who it came from and in the middle of everything there was an empty bed.

Naruto let out a yowl of such pain and such grief that it was heard through all the Land of Fire.

Tears starting falling from his eyes and he grabbed his heart in pain.

But just as he was about to lose all hope the sound of crying broke through. Naruto look towards the sound and to the side was a small bed. He walked up, hope slowly building, and inside was a small fragile being wrapped in a pink blanket.

Naruto cried tears of joy as he gently picked up the child. He might have lost the love of his life but he was going to honor her by taking care of this child to the best of his abilities.
