Ch.3: Will You Go Out with Me?

recap

Sasuke bounced the baby until it hushed before putting him back in his crib. Falling exhaustedly on the couch beside Sakura, he looked over to her. "So?"

"Hold on a sec." She took a needle and pricked his finger, drawing a bead of blood. Dabbing it with a swab, she put it into a machine with the other samples and watched as the machine spun them around. A few minutes later, the results were posted on the laptop she brought with her. "Well Sasuke, congrats. You're a dad."

WHUMP!

"Sasuke!"

end recap

"Augh, Sakura? What happened?" asked Sasuke as he rubbed his head.

"Well, you just found out you're a dad and you fainted. That reminds me, you have to name them still."

Sasuke scratched his head and looked at the sleeping babies. "Cradle number 1 is Fumio. Cradle 2 is Aiko. Cradle 3 is Hiroki. Cradle 4 is Chinatsu. Cradle 5 will be Kioshi."

Sakura documented this on a piece of paper. "Okay, I'm going to drop this off with Tsunade. See you later."

"Who's going to help me?" Sasuke asked.

POOF!

"Yo."

"You're late." they sighed.

"You see, my bed was so warm and-"

"Save it." snapped Sasuke when Fumio started to cry.

"Sounds like someone needs a diaper change. Good luck." smiled Sakura before she disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossom petals.

Kakashi turned to Sasuke. "What'd I miss?"

"Just the fact I'm a father now. I think I saw some diapers near the babies where I first found them." He dug around the tree and shoved a bag to Kakashi.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

"Dunno, don't care. I'm going back to bed."

"But I don't know how to change a baby!" said Kakashi who was answered with a door slamming shut, causing the other four babies to cry. "Great." said Kakashi bitterly.

Hinata tugged her pale yellow coat around her. 'Okay, Hinata, breathe. You will ask Naruto out. Santa finally granted you your wish for courage and you have to use it. You've stopped stuttering.'

'Except around Naruto.' her inner sang out.

'Shut up. Hey, being direct is easy.' she smiled.

She reached Naruto's apartment and opened the gate. She walked in and tripped on something solid. "Ow…" she moaned. She looked back to see someone in the snow. "Naruto!"

Sakura entered the doorway of Sasuke's house. "Sasuke, Tsunade-sama said that they're now legal citizens of Konoha, but she has no idea how they got there. She said not to worry about it and..." She scanned the room to see Kakashi with his head lolling over the couch. "Where's Sasuke?" she asked.

"Don't know, he left me with the five rugrats and I just quieted them down."

Sakura saw red.

Sakura stomped to Sasuke's room and slid open the door. "Sasuke-kun," she sang.

Sasuke woke up to see an angry Sakura and tried to feign sleep. "Too late, Sasuke. You wanted heirs and you got them. Now you have to be responsible. I'll even teach you how to change them and no, you cannot refuse." she said as she dragged him from his bed.

Sakura threw him onto the couch with Kakashi facing the babies. "You two, come over here." The men followed their orders and stood on either side of her. Taking Fumio from his crib, she removed the baby blanket and threw it over her shoulder for Kakashi to catch.

"Okay, hand me the bag." Kakashi handed her the blue bag and she fished out some items. "Remove the diaper. This will be your job, Sasuke."

Sasuke walked over and opened the diaper. A horrible odor reached their noses and Sasuke and Kakashi turned green. "Why aren't you affected? It's disgusting." said Sasuke pinching his nose.

"Try doing that for about 35 babies a day, about twenty times a day, for a year and then we'll talk." she smirked.

She turned towards the other victim. "Kakashi, you're cleaning the baby." she said, handing him a wipe. Kakashi turned away for this. "Now, you apply this stuff," she said, holding a plastic cylinder.

"What?" asked Sasuke.

"To prevent diaper rash." she said. After that was done, Kakashi put a clean diaper on the baby and wrapped him in the blanket.

Sakura smiled. "Great job guys. Now practice with the other four babies. They have to be changed too and you might not be so lucky this time."

"Huh?" asked Kakashi.

"Well, boys have a tendency to urinate while being changed. Fumio was behaving well."

"What about you?" asked Sasuke.

"Unlike you two, I know how to do this. Oh, use baby formula to feed them, instructions are on the package, and put a towel on your shoulder when you burp them! Good luck!" she smiled, the door closing shut behind her, the five babies crying when she left.

Kakashi and Sasuke looked at her. "She's good," said Sasuke.

Kakashi gave a slight nod. "Real good."

'Huh? Soup?'

Naruto blinked his eyes awake to see Hinata staring down at him carrying a bowl of soup. "Hinata?"

Hinata blushed. 'This is no time to be nervous. Be calm.' She smiled. "Hi Naruto-kun."

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know. I was coming over and I found you in the snow. Do you have any idea why I found you out there?"

Naruto thought for a minute. "I think I was so happy about what Santa gave me this year that I ran outside to shout it to the world. I remember making snow angels, then nothing."

Hinata gasped in horror. "Naruto! You know better than that. No wonder I found you in your boxers. You should cover up, you know. It's winter."

Naruto sat up and was attacked by a wave of nausea. "Whoa."

Hinata gently pushed his shoulder into the bed. "You have a fever. This is why you should cover up. I don't want you getting sick. Now, drink this soup. It'll make you feel better." she said, holding a spoon to his mouth.

He took a sip and grinned. "This is good!"

Hinata blushed. "Thanks, I made it myself."

"How long have I been out?"

"A few hours now." she answered softly.

Naruto sank into the bed and sighed. "That long, huh? Sorry for all the trouble I've caused you, Hinata."

Hinata shook her head. "It's nothing."

"It's not nothing. I have to make it up to you."

"No need to trouble yourself. Just get better."

Naruto looked at the wall across from his bed. "I don't get why you're always with me. I'm loud, I don't think things through a lot of times, and I always seem to cause trouble. I don't deserve a girl like you."

Naruto's eyes widened when he felt Hinata's hand encircle his and squeeze. "Hinata?"

"That's not true, Naruto. You do think things through. And you're smart, funny, brave, and you have a great big heart." Naruto blushed. Hinata panicked. "Naruto! Did your fever get worse?" she asked placing a hand on his forehead.

Naruto backed away and hit the headboard. "I'm fine. It's just, you're so pretty, I don't know what to do around you anymore. It makes me want to kiss you."

Hinata blushed deeply. "Naruto-kun?"

"I know you can do better and you deserve better, but I want you to go on a date with me."

Hinata was in shock. 'Naruto-kun asked me on a date!'

'Hallelujah! Thank you Santa, Kami, God, whoever!'

Naruto looked away. "I understand. It was dumb of me to ask."

Hinata looked at Naruto who was on the verge of tears. "No! I mean, no! I don't not want to go on a date with you. I mean, yes, I'll go on a date with you." she smiled.

Naruto's face lit up. "Really?!" he asked.

Hinata nodded. "Whoopee!" he said, jumping from under the covers. He started to cough when he landed.

Hinata held the covers open. "Maybe after your cold is gone, ne?"

"Yeah." he smiled. He soon fell asleep and Hinata stayed by his side, brushing his blonde hair.

"Naruto-kun…"
