Ali: Here's chapter two! I hope you like it!

Kurama: Can you hurry up?

Ali: I expected you to be with Nana!

Kurama: *shrugs* I'm off for a little bit.

ALi: Oh... good to know.

Kurama: Say the disclaimer.

Ali: FINE! I own nothing but the plot and... well, you'll fine out.


Chapter Two:

Happy News

Naruto walked with the fox into his home and was glad to see Hinata and Sakura talking. Kiba leaned against the wall with Akamaru, looking at the two and then he looked up at Naruto.

"Hey!" the Inuzuka shouted.

"Hey Kiba, Sakura. What's up?"

Hinata blushed and patted the seat next to her. "Sit down. I have some news for you."

Naruto shot a look towards Kurama and then sat next to his beloved wife. "Yes? Nothing's wrong right? We had Granny check you out, but I can have her check you again."

Hinata and Sakura giggled while Kiba and Akamaru barked with laughter. Kurama hit him with one of his tails. "Listen to her first!"

"Oh," Naruto blushed. "Um, go ahead."

"I'm pregnant," Hinata said.

Naruto blinked in pure shock. "Repeat that?"

"Naruto, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby," Hinata said.

Naruto broke into a grin. "This is great! Boy or girl? Names? We need to think of names."

"Slow down," Sakura ordered.

THe pink haired kunoichi had taken completely after Tsunade so Naruto instantly quieted down.

"Glad I didn't react like that?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah," Sakura said with a smile.

Akamaru moved his tail to reveal a two year old baby boy with pink and brown hair and green eyes with red triangle marks on his cheeks. The baby grinned at his 'uncle' and waved.

Naruto waved back with a huge grin. "Hey there Koru! How's it going?"

The boy's name was Hokoru, but Naruto often liked to shorten it. "Good uncle Naru!"

Akamaru nudged the boy and Hokaru giggled and played with the large dog. Hinata smiled. "I've thought of the name Heiwa."

"If not that then...Chowa," Naruto smiled.

They discussed baby names as a group and Kurama curled against Hinata, protective of the life in her stomach. He knew already the baby's gender and other secrets. He grinned as he listened to the chatter. THis was bliss to the old fox.

Unknown to any of the living the Sage of Six Paths looked down at them and smiled. He was happy that one of the Tailed Beasts were having a wonderful time with life at last. He was only hoping that they all would be ready for the challenges to come.


Ali: There's the second chapter, hopefully the third and some ideas come soon.

Kurama: I've gotta get back, review people.

Ali: wait! Take me with you, I've gotta buy... Smartfood popcorn... YEAH! *really going to buy sweets (and the popcorn)*

Kurama: Fine, come on.
