Soooo I just had to write this... my love of the NaruHina family-ness just cannot be measured. ENJOY!

Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, not me :)

Hinata was instantly awakened by the discomforted sounds of her newborn son, she blearily opened her eyes and prepared to rise from the bed and go to little Bolt when his cries stopped. Noting her husband's absence, she quietly slipped from the chambers to peer into their son's room. She smiled lovingly at the scene laid out before her.

Naruto had gathered the small child in his arms and, while holding him a bit stiffly, was rocking Bolt back and forth. His blue eyes were wide with awe and pure love.

She adored that look in his eyes; no matter how many times he looked down at their son, his face was one of amazement as if he couldn't believe he had helped create such a wonderful being. Luckily, she had managed to get a few pictures of said expression.

"Hey there," he called, barely above a whisper, "why don't you tell daddy what's wrong?"

The blue eyed baby gave a small coo, much to the delight of his father.

"There ya go," he encouraged, "tell me what's up."

A few more small noises escaped Bolt as he nuzzled into Naruto's clothing.

With a small laugh, the blonde pulled the baby closer to him. "It's okay, we can try more tomorrow. I bet you're still tired.. Go to sleep, buddy. Then I can go rest alongside mommy. Heaven knows she needs it, looking after you all the time!" His ramblings were interrupted by another small noise. Naruto chuckled, "Oh hush, you may be pretty adorable but you wear your momma out! She's gonna have a cuteness overload."

It was all Hinata could do to stifle her giggle.

Bolt yawned and let his eyes fall shut, snuggling into the warm body that cradled his own.

Naruto kept rocking, smiling softly down at the child. "Definitely got that from me," he commented lightly.

"He got a lot of things from you, I can already tell," Hinata said from her post at the door. Her husband flashed her an apologetic grin.

"Sorry Hina, did we wake you?"

She smiled but shook her head, "I heard him fussing, so I got up."

He looked surprised by that statement. "...Must have supersonic hearing or something," he mumbled with just a hint of a blush on his face. Noticing that their child was fully asleep, he gently lowered him back into the crib.

Hinata moved further into the room to stand as his side, taking his hand and leaning her head on his shoulder. "Out like a light... At least he won't have any trouble falling asleep as he gets older."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Yeah... definitely like me in that aspect." He observed the newborn with a caring gaze, "I wonder who our next kid will take after more..."

She blinked and peered up at him, "Oh? Already planning for the next are we?"

He blushed heavily and averted his gaze nervously, "N-No... I mean yes.. I-I just wondered was all..." He flushed a deeper red at his wife's giggle.

"It's okay... I've thought about it too."

The tall blonde raised a brow, "Oh yeah?"

She gave a small nod.

A brief silence elapsed between the new parents.

"I kinda hope our next one is a girl... and I want her to look just like you," Naruto admitted.

With a minor hesitation, Hinata replied, "But I want them to have your eyes."

He gave a disbelieving shake of his head, "And I want them to end up with yours, but it looks like Bolt got mine."

It was true, of course. Bolt had brilliant blue eyes and it was no doubt to either of them that they would remain that color. If the Byakugan was passed on to any of their children, it would be obvious as their eyes would display that lovely shade of lavender that Naruto adored so much. Secretly, Hinata wished for all of their children to end up with her husband's eyes as she wasn't fond of her own eyes.

"You're doing it again," Naruto murmured, gaze trained on her face. "I've told you before, Hina, your eyes are gorgeous. I would love it if at least one of our kids ends up with the Byakugan... I know it would make Hiashi happy too."

Hinata was always surprised when he could pick up on her exact train of thought. It seemed to be a skill of his to do so. She offered him a shy smile.

His hand reached up an cupped her cheek tenderly, "I love you Hinata."

She beamed at him then, "I love you too, Naruto."

Those brilliant blue eyes lit up with mirth as he leaned in for a kiss. She relished in it.

When they separated, she tugged him towards the door, "Come on, we should rest while he is. I'm sure he'll be up in a few short hours anyway."

"Yeah," he breathed tiredly, "sounds like a good plan."

The new parents retired to their own bed, tucked in each other's arms.

Hinata laughed quietly when she realized just how quickly Naruto had fallen asleep. Like father, like son, she thought lovingly. She sent a wordless pray of thanks to the heavens, ever grateful for her loving husband and adorable newborn son. She joined her lover in sleep shortly thereafter.

And from somewhere beyond, Neji smiled fondly at the resting family.

Blah ending - short oneshot but I had to publish it - maybe I'll make it a series of short little onesies dealing with baby Bolt! Heyyy I like it! Let's do that, not sure how many I'll do. If you have ideas for a oneshot, lemme know!

R&R and tell me your thoughts if you want :)
