Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto
Time had flown bye. Hinata's dress had been finished in her seventh month of her pregnancy. It was also the seventh month Naruto revealed they would wed on the 17th of June.
It was all so exciting but it had come quicker than expected as today was the 17th of June and the eighth month of her pregnancy. Hinata had waited for this day all her life. She was currently in a small changing room with her three bridesmaids at the back of the register office. The girls were dressed in Lilac gowns with one thick strap coming across the right shoulder. They came down to their ankles leaving enough room to show off their lilac pumps. Each bridesmaid had their hair up in buns.
Hinata was sitting in her white dress that came down to her feet. It had two straps and looked similar to the bridesmaid dresses. She had her hair up in a fancier bun to the others with loose strands falling about her face. She wore a vail and looked radiant.
Clutching her bouquet of lilacs she prepared to leave the room and be married to the man of her dreams. Her stomach was churning though and she felt a slight stabbing pain in her right side. She hadn't felt very good the past two or three days. She was just filled with nerves.
Sakura came up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You ready?", she questioned.
Hinata gulped but bobbed her head.
"Y..yes...let's go", she smiled weakly.
Ino and Tenten left the room to join the groomsmen. Sakura was the head bridesmaid and Sasuke was best man. They all entered the room that Hinata would soon enter herself.
She rocked anxiously on her feet. The wooden boards creaked slightly but it couldn't be heard over the bridal march.
Taking a deep breath Hinata walked from her room directly across the hall to the large double doors. A doors man stood at either side opening the large mahogany doors for the pretty woman to walk she walked down the red carpet she didn't look at any one but Naruto.
Naruto was standing with his back to her though. So without his eyes on her she could relax a little.
She finished up standing next to Naruto. He looked her over a massive smile on his face and tears forming in his eyes. They turned to one another and took their hands as the vicar began to read from his book.
Hinata's pain was getting worse now. She couldn't think straight. There was something wrong . She could feel it in her. She was repeating the words the vicar asked her to but she wasn't really paying attention. Eventually it was Naruto's turn to speak and she began zoning out.
The vicar was looking at her expectantly. Naruto looked at her also. Sweat was beading on his forehead. He was looking a little scared.
Hinata realised they were wanting her to say something but what? Things were getting blurry and warm very warm. Looking down at her feet she saw red. It was fuzzy but it was definitely red. That was all she remembered before everything went black.
"HINATA !", Naruto screamed catching her falling body.
He looked her over with concern. It was then he noticed the blood. His heart raced wildly. What was going on!?
Sakura instructed Shikamaru , Sasuke and Lee to keep the other two girls back and relaxed. She then ran to Naruto's side.
"We need an ambulance here now! QUICK! ", she yelled.
Naruto looked whiter than Hinata's dress.
"Please Sakura. What is wrong with her? Is the baby ok?", he asked in tears.
Sakura soothed her teammate.
"Don't worry. She's ok. The baby is fine for now. We need an ambulance though because this baby isn't going to stay in for long", she said examining the girl before her.
Naruto tryed talking but the words didn't come. He was relieved though when the ambulance arrived. He got in the back with her. There was crowds of people outside wondering what the commotion was. Naruto couldn't concentrate on them though. He was completely focused on Hinata.
The ambulance sped off with Sakura close behind. It didn't take long for it to arrive at the hospital. Hinata was taken from the back of it and rushed on a trolley down the corridors, Naruto at her side. Sakura had reached them within seconds. She was on the other side of Hinata trying to calm Naruto who was shouting at every doctor and nurse. They would talk in their usual hospital jargon and it confused him.
"What the hell is going on!", he cried.
The doctors ignored him though as they focused on Hinata.
"Don't worry! She is fine. They are taken her to maternity.", Sakura called to him from the other side of the trolley.
They had an oxygen mask on her as they wheeled her into the big room. They put her onto one of the maternity beds and began taking blood and filling her with drugs to help her body with the pain for when she awoke. If she didn't wake though they would have to cut the child out via a c-section.
It was as if she could hear them though as her long dark lashes fluttered open revealing a pair of dull pearl like held out a hand and within seconds Naruto had took it into his own. He held it against his wet cheek as he gave her a soft smile.
"Na..Na..", she couldn't get her words out.
Naruto kissed her hand repeatedly.
"You don't need to say anything honey. You relax! If you need to push though you go for it because this baby is going to be coming soon...ok!?", Naruto soothed.
He tried to put on a brave face for his love. He watched as the doctors and midwifes wheeled in a fish like tank with tubes filling it. There was a resuscitation and oxygen table wheeled in for the baby also.
Naruto felt warm so decided to remove his jacket and unbutten his shirt. Sakura helped out with some things like removing Hinata's dress discreetly and putting a piny around her.
Sakura looked down between Hinata's legs and called the midwife.
A tall plump woman wobbled over taking a look herself.
"Ok my lovely this baby's coming so I need you to relax and just breath it out. That's gentle pushes as it's head is already here", she told the stunned Hyuga.
Hinata couldn't do much but agree and do as she was told.
The baby was out within minutes and wrapped up. The midwife whisked him away to the resuscitation table but was pushed aside by a doctor who ordered all but one of the nurses and midwifes to leave.
After a few moments of no cries Naruto panicked. He left Hinata's side. He had removed his shirt in preperation for the skin to skin contact with the baby and was standing topless next to the doctor.
The doctor shook his head at the midwife. Naruto's heart sank as he saw this signal.
"Get away from him...NOW", he growled.
He had tears streaming down his face. When the doctors didn't do so he barged past them. He scooped up the bundle in his arms and carried him away from them.
"I SAID LEAVE HIM", he screamed.
The doctor and midwife looked fearfully at him before scurrying off followed by Sakura who decided to give the couple a moment alone.
Naruto cradled the tiny motionless child towards Hinata. She was sitting upright with the aid of some pillows. Tears in her eyes. She had removed her mask so that it hung around her stood at her side filled with sorrow.
"Please..Hinata...take him.", he chocked.
Hinata opened up her eyes and held out her arms. The baby was laying in her arms wrapped in his blanket. She sat him up against her chest and pated his back. She snuggled her head into his blanket and bit back tears.
Naruto was standing with an arm against the window. His head leaning against his forearm and tears streaming down his face.
As he done this Hinata carried on patting her baby's back. The silence was deadly.
But out of the silence came a small cough and a splutter followed by a mumble then ...a cry. The blanket moved and squirmed beneath Hinata's hands.
Tearing the tiny crying infant from her shoulder she gazed on his small now pinkish face that lay wrapped within the blue fleecy blanket. His lips were blue and there was a lot of liquid dribbling from his mouth.
Tears spilled harder and faster from Hinata's eyes. She cradled the tiny infant close soothing him. She then lifted her head to see a stunned Naruto facing her from across the room.
"He's alive!", she blurted out joyously.
Naruto dropped to his knees right there and then his face was one of pure shock. His son was going to be pronounced dead at birth but now this. Without a moments hesitation he climbed back to his feet and made his way towards the bed were Hinata lay cradling the now silent boy.
He gazed down on the murmuring baby in his fiancée's arms. He pulled the blanket back from his head and smiled. He had midnight blue hair like his mothers and fox ears on his head instead of normal human ears. His skin was paler looking now that he had calmed down.
Naruto rubbed his soft ears in his hand and looked apon him lovingly.
"He's ...amazing!", he choked out.
Hinata was still a little lost for words. She just snuggled the tiny baby close to her and as he yelped out she turned him in to her breast and settled him for a feed.
Hinata was a natural. It was like she had done it all before. The baby had came off a few times but she latched him back on successfully. His tiny hand sat on her breast and he would snuffle every so often.
"He's sure hungry", Naruto commented in a hushed voice.
He was now caressing his tiny cheek with his index finger watching him lovingly as he suckled away. His eyes glittered and there was a warmth to his cheeks.
Sakura came in looking sad. Her expression soon changed from sad to confusion then happiness at what she saw before her.
Scurrying over to the couple she couldn't believe her eyes. She hugged Naruto tightly and gushed over the tiny baby boy.
"He is adorable. How did you revive him? The doctor was about to pronounce him dead. I...I just don't understand ", She said baffled.
Hinata shrugged as she patted the tiny boys back. He was done feeding and needed to be winded.
"I just...done this ", she said.
The boy had his head placed upon his mothers shoulder with a dreary look on his face. His nose and eyes scrunched up and his tiny fists flailed out from his fleecy prison slightly before he let out a small burp.
Sakura nodded and took a look at the boys aperance.
"Did he bring anything up? Like liquid?", she asked.
Hinata thought for a moment. She wrapped the child's arms back up and cuddled him up before answering the pink haird woman.
"Yeah he had some clearish looking liquid came out nothing else".
Sakura nodded satisfied with her answer. She watched the new mother rock her baby boy as he let out a little cry. Naruto kissed his forehead whispering to him in an attempt to hush the child. He soon settled into the warm embrace of his mother both parents looking over him proudly.
"It would appear he had difficulty breathing and getting up the fluid. When you patted his back it would of dislodged it from his lungs and he would of brought it up by himself. But my question is if it was as simple as that...why did the doctor give up so easily? And also he will need some oxygen he seams to have a little difficulty breathing", Sakura stated.
She pulled over the incubator and opened it preparing the sheets and oxygen tubes. Taking the child from Hinata she placed him inside and began hooking him up to the tubes and put a small nappy on him.
He looked so fragile. He didn't have the same amount of fat a newborn would. He was very healthy looking though for his actual age at which he was born at. Most baby's would need more than a little oxygen.
"Let me take a picture", Naruto said pulling out his phone.
He snapped a quick shot of the infant as he slept.
"There perfect", he said.
He leaned over and showed Hinata as she rested in the bed. She beamed down on the image. Words couldn't describe how she felt right now.
"Does he have a name?", Sakura asked still focused on the infant.
Naruto took hold of Hinata's hand and smiled down on her. He knew her two favourite names but right now there was only one of them in Naruto's mind. Without a single word said between them Naruto spoke up.
"Hinaru...Hinaru Uzumaki", he said confidently.
Sakura smiled then frowned.
"It's a lovely name guys but...you can't give him your name Naruto. He has to go by Hyuga",Sakura stated.
The couple looked at one another. Naruto looked full of guilt wether as Hinata looked saddened. One of the main reasons for their marriage was so their child could inherit the Uzumaki name.
Naruto had said his I do's but it was when Hinata was meant to say hers that she had collapsed. So they were not yet married.
Hinata had asked Naruto when she discovered the date of the wedding if it could be brought forward. Mainly because she wanted it over and done with so she wouldn't get as nervous but also incase her father heard and tried to sabotage her big day.
It was for that reason Naruto felt as guilty as he did. If he had just agreed and let Hinata win with that argument then they wouldn't be in this situation. They would already be happily married.
"What if I try and ask lady Tsunade ? Maybe she can find a loop hole", Naruto said hopefully.
Sakura tapped a finger on her chin thinking for a moment. She
looked over the anxious couple.
"As far as I'm aware you can write a letter stating why you don't wish your child to have the name...but the Hyuga clan is a powerful and very respected clan. Uzumaki on the other hand is not as well known and you are so far the only known survivor and heir. The odd's aren't on your side...I'm sorry",Sakura told them.
Hinata looked down sadly at the sleeping infant. He wasn't heaving his chest as much now and he appeared more relaxed in his incubator.
Naruto held Hinata's hand loosely in his. He caressed his thumb over her smooth pale skin. He then looked into Hinata's tiered eyes and gave her a small smile.
"I suppose there's nothing more we can do then. He will have to be a Hyuga until we can marry then we will need to go through the courts to have it changed. It's a lot of work but he is worth it!", he said a sadness in his voice.
Hinata then turned her head from Naruto to Sakura. She looked deadly serious now.
"Sakura I want to report that doctor. How could he miss such a simple thing!?", she said seriously.
Sakura nodded towards her friend.
"Of course. I will get on it right away. I'll inform him the child is alive and I myself will also put in a complaint. You just relax and I'll be back soon", she told them.
She turned and walked out the door taking one last glance at the nerve wrecked couple. They watched over the tiny baby with love and fear in their eyes.
They had a midwife come in and congratulate them as she measured and weighed the baby. She said she hadn't seen anything like it in all her days working as a midwife.
Sakura took longer than expected to return but when she did she looked sick. Her hair was scruffy and sweat covered her forehead. She walked towards the couple but stopped to check the room.
Hinata and Naruto exchanged looks of confusion.
Sakura had a large rucksack that she filled with small oxygen bottles and a instruction manual. There was some medicine bottles and syringes went in as well.
"Hinata you need to get up. Shikamaru will be here soon with your clothes. You need to get to the safe house. There's a reason that doctor didn't do much to help Hinaru out..."
