His hands were shaking, sweaty… very sweaty. He can barely stand with his shaking knees. His throat was dry, his breathing ragged. What's this? He doesn't know.
Breathe, he thought. He couldn't.
He couldn't throw up. Not now.
Water? Yes, he needs one. Right now.
A shriek, he flinched.
What's this feeling?
Fear? Maybe. Nervous? Very.
What's the word?
Terrified.
Yes!
Very, very terrified.
"Mr. Uchiha? I think it's time you go in and support your wife."
"…Of course"
His pace hastened, quickly standing beside his wife. His eyes observed her, intently.
She was sweating, stubborn silver-blonde hair peeking out of her hospital cap and sticking on her forehead. Her lips were pale, face drenched of color. She looked tired, exhausted. Her eyes had tears in them, slowly, desperately searching for his dark gray eyes. She was scared, so was he.
She was so exhausted, scared, very scared. Anyone can tell and so he held her gaze. Eyes stern, firm yet gentle and full of love.
Love
"I love you"
Those three words comforted her and she controlled her breathing as the doctor instructed her to push again. She was beyond tired but she tried anyway. He held her hand, ever so gently stroking her knuckles, as she pushed.
"Push harder, Ino!"
"Aaargh-!"
Silence.
"Get the hot towels! I see the head! Harder, Ino"
"I-I can't! I—Agh!"
"You're doing it!"
"WAAAAAAAAH!"
A shriek filled the room. Oh, how the relief they felt overwhelmed them.
Ino slumped on her bed, still holding Sasuke's hand. He kneeled beside her.
"You did it" He allowed himself a smile.
Ino let out a faint laugh.
"Kiss me?" She rasped. And he did, ever so gently kissing her, afraid she would break.
"That the best you got, Uchiha?" She rasped a joke, voice wavering.
"I won't break…I—I need you"
And so he filled her. Their mouth colliding, passionately molding their lips together, quickly swapping spit, tongues roaming each other's mouth.
"A-ahem… Mr and Mrs Uchiha?" A blushing nurse interrupted.
Dammit.
"Yes?" Ino mumbled, licking her lips, cheeks red, embarrassed.
The nurse left and the doctor came in, a blue-bundle in her arms.
"It's a very healthy boy. Congratulations to both of you"
The bundle was gently placed in Ino awaiting arms. The coupled bathed in comfortable silence as they stared in wonder, love.
Sasuke stroked the baby's jet black hair, in awe.
"He's so beautiful" He murmured as the baby opened his pair of icy blue-gray eyes.
"Mm, any names you have in mind?" Ino smiled, caressing the baby's cheek. Sasuke was taken aback.
Him? Having the honor of naming their first child? He tensed.
He smiled.
"Sachito."
"Sachito?"
"Hm"
Ino smiled.
"Sachito it is."
