Another one-shoter I felt like writing.
Now to our feature presentation…
OUT OF TIME
He had always wanted to be a father.
"Arashi?" Her voice was so frightingly happy that all he could was blink.
"What?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant!"
When he found out that his dream was coming true, he just about fainted.
He swayed unsteadily.
"Arashi?" She asked, not sure what to do.
Thud.
Okay, he really had fainted. But that didn't take away any of his manliness.
"You fainted."
"Did not!"
Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"Did to."
"No! I just lost consciousness is all." Arashi insisted.
"Girly faint."
Baby shopping was an entirely new concept to Arashi.
"How 'bout this one?" Said Arashi, holding up a pair of infant pajamas.
"…No."
"Why not? He'll blend in with his surroundings!"
His wife gave him a look.
"Arashi, Camouflage won't help a baby who spends most of it's time in a house."
"Oh."
He gently put back the pajamas.
"What about this?"
"No He's not wearing camouflage diapers either."
While preparing for a child he realized just how much trouble parents went through when setting up a crib.
Kakashi looked down at to instructions.
"Part A connects to Part B."
"Okay."
Arashi took out the two parts in question and started to infuse charka into a screw.
"Sensei?"
"Yes?"
"I believe your suppose to use the screw-driver."
"Oh."
When his wife was around seven months pregnant he began to talk to the baby.
"One thing you must always remember is to always have enough throwing knives with you."
"Arashi…"
"You never know when you might need them."
"Arashi…"
"There was this one time when my genin team was ambushed…"
"Arashi!"
"And I forgot to restock on kunai…"
"Arashi!"
"Boy did I regret that!"
Whack!
"What was that for?!"
"Shut up and go to sleep!"
The only thing he thought about, as the fox came closer and closer to the village and he prepared, was his family in the hospital.
"You!" Shouted the Yondaime, pointing to a genin who was directing a group of civilians to a safer location.
"Me sir?"
"Yes, go see how my wife's doing!"
"Yes sir!"
And now as he lay there with his son in his arms he wished he had more time.
His finger tips gently caressed his son's cheek.
I'm sorry, I did the best I could.
"I love you."
