Prompt: Sakura is pregnant with Naruto's child
Note: This drabble was written for p96822 on Tumblr.
Naruto stared at the unused crib, stroller and baby carrier in the room.
When he found out that Sakura was pregnant, he immediately started buying baby products for his future child. He even interviewed couples on how they handled the first few months with a baby in the house.
Sakura loved the enthusiasm. He had been more cheery than usual and he had hummed and worked around the house with a positive disposition.
Naruto was so excited he already thought of a name for his son.
He would be Shinachiku.
Every night, before going to sleep, he would stroke his wife's belly and talk to his son using the name. He would tell him they are both excited to finally be able to hug and kiss him and that he would buy him more toys, spoil him to bits and train with him during his spare time.
But that was months ago
Today was different.
"Naruto, are you all right? You've been staring at those for half an hour," Sakura's words snapped him out of his late-night thoughts.
"I miss him,"
"Me too. He would have been wonderful,"
"And I would have spoiled him to bits,"
"I'm sorry,"
"Don't be. You're still here. We could still try again,"
Their words stabbed though the quietness and again, they were reminded of what they have lost.
The room would have been full of life if only he were born.
