"Matte-ou, Uzumaki-san! Uzumaki-san!", a nurse called out as she ran up to the Hokage.
"Uzumaki-sa-", she stopped as he placed his hand over her mouth.
"I'm sorry, . But I need to go see my lovely bride-to-be.", he turned around and grinned as they stood in a quiet hallway. It has been four years since he, Uzumaki Naruto, became Konohagakure's 7th Hokage.
Ever since she appeared before me, I fell deeply in love, slowly… he thought dreamingly.
"But Uzumaki-san, she's still in recovery, she went through so much when she was delivering the baby. Please Hokage-sama, let her re-"…
Naruto turned around again, "No! She is my fiancé and since I am Hokage then I have the right to go see her and my own child.", he shouted while holding out his hand for a key.
"Now please, give me the key.", he asked politely. She then handed him the key and placed it into his palm.
He began walking down the hospital hallway.
The hallway had windows and was filled with portraits of great ninja.
It also had drawings and pictures made by the sick children along the walls.
As the Hokage walked by the children's rooms, he began to feel both sad and happy.
He felt sad because seeing the children being taken care of had reminded him of how terrible his own childhood was.
Yet, he most of all felt happy that he was finally living his dream as Hokage and that he had became a parent with his fiancé.
His own eyes began to glitter with little tears for he was proud of what he's been through in the past.
He was about to cry, but he held the tears back.
Ah… here is where she is… he thought as he was moving towards the door of room 208.
As he slipped the key into the doorknob, it had unlocked and then he turned the knob open.
The wooden door was pushed and he suddenly heard a baby crying. had also seen his lover sitting on her hospital bed looking at the beautiful sunrise outside throughout the window.
The baby was in her arms and her long hair was glowing and shining in the sunlight while she sang a lullaby.
There she is… as pretty and angelic as she can be… Naruto smiled softly.
He then walked further into the spacious room and up to her bed.
"Hinata-chan", he said lovingly as he stood there.
Hyuuga Hinata turned around gracefully and looked at him, "N-Naruto-kun…", she blushed slightly and smiled at him.
Naruto then went onto the bed and hugged her.
He placed his arms around her hospital gown-covered body, "So, this is our baby?", he grinned as he looked at the newborn girl Hinata held.
She nodded. "But… Naruto-kun, she has my eyes.. yet they are not purple or grey.", she whispered shyly.
"What do you mean?", he felt puzzled and wasn't sure of what she meant.
"Well… actually, she has blue-coloured eyes, blue like yours.", she smiled contently. Naruto put on a surprised look.
"Oh really? Heheh, I'm surprised she's not a boy-", he said.
"N-Naruto-kun! How dare you say something like that!", she frowned a bit. He apologized and then asked what they were going to name their new child.
They both thought about it for a few minutes as they dreamily looked at their baby.
"I know!", Naruto shouted quietly, "Let's name her… Mio.", Hinata smiled and said, "That's a wonderful name, 'three times as strong', lovely.", she sighed happily.
The new parents then rejoiced and kissed their baby's forehead. They felt so happy and at peace with their new daughter.
The couple then placed a sleeping Mio back into the incubator and sat back down on the bed to discuss their wedding plans.
"So, Naruto, when is our wedding exactly?", Hinata asked. "Oh, why it's in 4 days!", he grinned.
Hinata put on a sad look and began to object the date.
"Naruto-kun, our baby will be too young to be at our wedding, don't you think?", she said a little passively.
He agreed but then he said he had an idea.
"We'll just have your cousin, Neji, babysitting! After all, he deserves to deal with our child, that way it can be his way of apologizing to you for what he did 7 years ago!", he snickered.
She sighed and said, "I'm not one to hold a grudge, Naruto-kun. But okay then… I'll go see Tenten tomorrow or so."…
And so then Naruto left after a few visiting hours and Hinata went to sleep…
But they didn't know what was coming to them from the meaning of Mio's blue Byakugan eyes...
