Naruto was terrified.
He had never been in a situation like this. Sure he had seen many people in this exact situation. He remembered them telling how frightened they were. But he had always dismissed them, thinking they had exaggerated the situation. Surely it can't be more frightening than fighting the Rabbit goddess.
He realizes how wrong he was now. This is definitely way more terrifying.
But he could do nothing about it. All he can do is wait. And that was the worst part. He was not good at waiting. He had always rushed into any situation. His teammates had always been annoyed at that. 'Not ninja like' they said. 'I am too awesome to care about things like waiting' he had retorted.
They were here too. His teammates. Or former teammates. They had come as soon as they had heard the news. Even his sensei whose tardiness was legendary had shown up in time.
Not only his teammates but also the whole of Konoha twelve was here. Waiting just like him.
He could hear the cries from his wife inside the room. But all he can do is wait.
Suddenly there was a sharp high pitched cry of a baby. Naruto's whole body stiffened. A moment later the door of his wife's room opened and the doctor allowing only to come inside for now.
As he entered he could see his wife Hinata lying in the bed exhausted. She looked beautiful, even with the layer of sweat on her. She was currently curled on her side, her arms around a bundle of towels, with a loving expression on her face.
He slowly approached her, she noticed him coming, and smiled at him. "It is a boy. Our boy." He could see the happiness in her face. He was sure it was reflected in his face too.
He took a closer look at the baby in the middle of the towels. A healthy looking baby was sleeping. On the top of his small head a patch of blond hair. And on his cheeks were two whisker marks on each side. Naruto did not think those whisker marks would become hereditary, but apparently they are.
The small boy, as though seeming to know that he was being observed, opened his eyes to look at his surroundings and closed it. Naruto had caught a flash of blue though.
"He is going to look like you when he grows up." Hinata said.
"He is also going to be as awesome as me" Naruto replied, while leaning down to place a loving kiss in the foreheads of both child and mother. Hinata smiled happily.
"Have you decided on a name?" Hinata asks. Naruto smiled and replied "He will be named Boruto"
