I do NOT own Naruto Characters- but I do own Rin (MuHaHaHaHa!)

This idea has been circling my mind for a while, so I've finally wrote it!

Sakura's point of view

Rin didn't have such a wondrous welcoming into the world like most other babies do, nor did he have a normal one. In the hospital of his birth, around a 100 women were having their children released from their homely bodies and into the blinding shine of hospital lights. And the same was having in just about every other hospital. Accept, this hospital, there were 100 women giving birth on that day, but 101 labours.

Rin was born not from a woman, but a man. Well, almost a man, though the way he often acted he still seemed to be the preteen I had first befriended. Rin's birth father was my young friend Naruto, who age was just 3 months off 20. Blonde haired, blue eyed Naruto had always been one of those people who you could read in a second, but that day, as I held Rin, my then god-son, in my arms, he was unreadable. He held a poker-face but no cards.

When Rin's birth was over, they tried to give Rin to Naruto, but he ignored them, so he was passed to me. I missed down at the tiny boy. He was so beautiful it was undeniable. I sat on the edge of the bed next to Naruto, and held the boy up for him to see. Naruto quickly turned over before he got a glimpse of the baby.

"He's really cute" was all I could think of to say.

Naruto sighed heavily and slowly turned back over on to his other side, wincing as he did so. That was the moment when father and son got a first good look at eachother.

"He's cute right?" I tried to sound cheerful, but my words came out as desperate.

Naruto didn't reply, instead he stared sadly at the baby.

"He looks like Sasuke" he commented flatly.

Sasuke; Rin's other father, the reason why his birth wasn't as welcoming as it should have been. Sasuke had abandoned Naruto as soon as he found out, leaving the 19 year old feeling lost and unsure. I rushed to my best friend side and set up a rather dodgy plan.
We left our village and travelled for a while until we reached 'the perfect place'. A place that no one knew us, but we still had somewhere to stay.
My aunt had died a year previous to everything, and had left the house to me. I had never planned on using it, but had kept it just in case. Thank god I did!
As the month passes, the plan changed. We originally arranged to give the baby to couple in the village, telling them that I was actually the one who was pregnant, and that Naruto was the responsible father (biggest lie we ever told). That plan had worked, until the couple found out that they had their own child on the way, and would have no room, nor need, for 'ours'. We were stuffed and clueless, but we hadn't given up hope. Well, I hadn't.
Naruto was depressed most of the time. Sasuke had hurt Naruto pretty bad, and instead of being able to forget about it and move on, he had to walk around with a constant reminder of Sasuke and what had been. What was left of our plan back fired again when Naruto went into early labour. When that happened, Naruto's misery grew, and became stronger as the labour went on.

Now, with the child in front of him, I could see his heart shatter in his midnight blue eyes. He didn't cry, he didn't moan, he just look lost and alone.

"You have me" I said reading his thoughts.

He smiled at me weakly and mumbled "I know"

There was a pause. Rin fidgeted in my arms, confused and lost himself since he was in a whole new world.

"You take him" he said.

"Excuse me?" I said with shock

"You heard" Naruto grunted before turning back over.

"What do you mean?" I stuttered

"Exactly what I said. You take him. I can't stand the thought of being on my own with him…"

I knew he wasn't being mean towards Rin, I knew what he meant. Naruto never did like failing, and when he did fail he found hard to accept it. If he failed as a father, there would be nothing he could do. It wasn't a test or a fight, it would be hardly, longer, and more emotionally scarring.
An idea came to my head, one I wasn't so sure of. I looked down at the baby, a little tuft of blonde hair, temporally blue eyes and cherubic face.

"Okay, I'll take him"

There was a pause before Naruto turned over and looked at me wide eyed and asked "You will?"

"Yes- But-" I gave him a serious look "Only if you take him too"
"What?" he asked confused.
I sighed tiredly "we'll raise him together- we'll say he's ours."
"But I'll still be reminded of Sasuke every time I look at him…" Naruto whined sadly
"Don't be so selfish! It's not his fault Sasuke' a dick! So don't bloody punish him!"
"But if I have him I can't become Hukage" Naruto argued again, getting annoyed now.
"Of course you can. Go my stereotypes! I'll be the mummy and stay home and look after him, you play daddy and look after us!"

Naruto blinked at me in amazement, clearly running everything I had just said around in his head until ti was all clear.

"But… Why would you…" Was all he could say.
"Because I think this kid is really cute and I won't stand for him to be punished because you and Sasuke are idiots!"
"Hey! How was I supposed to know I'd end up with him? Sasuke the jerk!" Naruto yelled angrily, causing Rin to start to cry.
I shushed the baby, mentally calming myself down at the same time before saying in a calm voice- "We'll do this together okay? No one back in the village knows you were the one pregnant. They think it's me."

"But… Isn't some dude going to come in here in about an hour to write the baby's birth certificate? How are we going to explain why I'm in the hospital bed and not you?"
"We don't"

That problem was easier to solve then all our previous ones. Naruto carefully got out of bed, careful of his c-section stitches, and took off his hospital gown and put on some spare clothes we had bought with us. I then took off my own clothes, accept my underwear, and put on his gown. It was a little big, but once I was lying in the bed, no one could really tell. We rolled up some other spare clothing I had brought with us and made it seem that I had a rounded stomach, before covering me over with the blanket. The plan was fools proof.
Naruto sat in a chair near the side of the bed, and turned it round so he faced straight to the head of the bed, hiding his stomach slightly.

When the 'dude' did come to write the birth certificate, no questions about who had given birth were asked. Just out names and the baby's. I looked at Naruto.

"What do you think?" he asked me

I shrugged "Kazuki?"

"No way!"

"Daisuke?"

"… Maybe"

"Yuki?"

"NO! I know!"

"…."

"Danger!"

"…. No" I shook my head and sighed

"Oit, he's my baby!" argued Naruto.

The man laughed at him half-heartedly and told him "he's her baby too"

"Yeah, Naruto. My baby too" I smiled fondly I looked at the baby in my arms 'my baby…'

The man laughed again "Since you having trouble, I'll pop over to the front desk and borrow their baby name book for you" he chuckled as he headed out the room.

I thanked him as opened the door and left.

We stared at him. What to call him? I know I said Yuki, but I don't think he should be named after weather anymore. Nor a colour or plant.

"I've got one" I smiled.

"What is it?" Naruto asked, running his finger delicately over the baby's own tiny digits.

"Rin. It means companion." I looked up at Naruto "He'll be a companion and never on his own like Sasuke. He'll stya with his team and family and won't betray"

So that was the birth of little Uzumaki Rin. It was unwelcoming at first, but eventually arms opened for him. And I can tell you, those arms never let go! Even though me and Rin did not have the same blood, he always felt like my son, and I was always his mother.

Arms weren't opened very quickly for me and Naruto when we returned to the village. Rock Lee, of course welcomed us home, not to say he wasn't shocked at the sight of Rin. I never it was possible for those round eyes to get any bigger or, well, rounder, but they certainly did.

"You two have baby?" he asked wide eyed before scanning the baby as if he was checking he was real.
"Yeah" Naruto laughed nervously, scratching the back of his neck and squinting his eyes.
Lee looked away from Rin and back at us and smiled "Congratulations!" He beamed cheerfully
"Want to hold him?" I offered
"Alright, but you'll have to show me how! I've never held a baby before!" he giggled.
I slowly passed Rin over into Lee's arms, showing him how to placed Rin's head into the crock of his arm and support his body. For a moment Lee just admired his with a small smile on his face, before joyfully telling baby Rin -
"Welcome to family, little Rin!"
Rin gurgled happily at Lee, waving one tiny hand.
"I guess he likes you them!" grinned Naruto proudly.

Other people, like Neji, weren't so welcome and were actually pretty cold towards us for a while. It wasn't until Rin was two that we were finally accepted back in to the village properly. ..

What do you think guys? Any good? Should I carry on? :D
