That night I went through hell. No matter how much I tried the image of my beloved Minato dieing would not leave my mind. I sat curled up in a little ball against the bedroom wall crying as the heavy rain beat against the house. I was cold and wet but I didn't care. I felt numb inside like I wasn't even alive. No I wasn't alive because the love of my life has died. My husband. My angel. My heart. My love of my life. My everything. And he was gone... forever. And now I have nothing left.
I looked up and saw the picture of Minato and I smiling brightly. I got up and walked over still gazing at the picture. I looked at it with newly fallen tears streaming down my face. "Why?!... Why did you die?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Why did you have to leave!!...Why you leave me ALONE!!" As soon as I said that the glass on the picture frame broke into pieces and fell the floor beside my knees. I looked at the broken glass as though they were a beckons of hope. At that moment a thought came to my mind. If I now cannot be with you in life my love I can at least be with you in death.
I picked up the glass and brought it to my wrist. My beloved I'm coming. Soon we will be together again, just the two of us. Then the thunder roared and a small cry was heard. A cry? I turned my head to the soft sound. It sounded like a baby crying. A baby? I got up and walked to the little voice as though it were calling to me.
The crying led me to a small room. When I looked through the door I saw a crib. That's right, Naruto. I went to the crib to see a blonde baby throwing a tantrum. I picked up the baby to where I can see him. As soon as the baby boy saw my face he stopped crying. We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. I was almost lost in his eyes. Blue eyes. Just like his father's. I gasped when I saw the image of Minato face appeared before me. The baby seemed lighten up at the fact that I at least did something instead of just stare at him. He raised his little cubby hand and grabbed my hair. Naruto was enjoying himself, cooing and giggling as he played with my hair.
The baby's gestures and smiles reminded me of my beloved. The memories of him flowed through my mind like a movie. Then I remembered what he said after he found out that I was pregnant. "You're pregnant!" He responded holding me tight in his arms, "Oh wow I'm gunna be a daddy and you're gunna be a mommy, this is so surreal. I really can't believe it. " So I take it your happy." I said looking up at him with a smile. "Your kidding, I'm having a family with the love of my life. I'm more than happy, I'm excited." He said leaning forward to where his forehead was against mine, "I'm living my dream. I can't wait till he or she is born so that we can give them all the love in the world."
I went to my knees. What have I almost done? Oh God, What did I almost tried to do. What love could I give to Naruto if I killed myself now? I held the baby close to me and cried, "Oh Naruto, I'm so sorry! I haven't been much of a mother to you these couple of days have I? Can you forgive this foolish woman for her doubt in life? Can you forgive me?!" Then I held Naruto to where I can see his face again. His little hand reached up to touch one of the tears that were on my face. He cooed at me with a big smile on his face. That's right, I'm not alone I thought as I kissed my son's forehead. Thank you, Naruto. Thank you, Minato. Thank you so much for everything. And I'll love you, the both of you, always and forever!
