Your reactions from the last chapter was overwhelming. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We don't own Naruto/Boruto.

When morning came, Sarada blinked herself awake, unable to move due to Boruto's arms wound tightly around her. Even his leg was thrown across hers and his face was buried on her neck, his breath tickling her. It made her smile to see him sleeping so peacefully. Trying to free her hand, she moved his arm down towards her middle and swept his hair away from his face, admiring how cute he looked. Debating whether she should stay in bed with him a little longer or to get breakfast started, Sarada kept on staring at his face, stroking his cheek from time to time before finally trying to wiggle herself out of his hold.

It took a good five minutes before she could slip away, making sure he wouldn't wake. Sarada planted a quick kiss on his cheek before going to the bathroom and sighing at the mess they had made the previous night. There were half-dry towels on the floor, and it was slippery, with dried up soap and some puddles of water here and there. Carefully walking to the enclosure, she took a quick shower and dried herself up, putting on a pair of shorts and one of Boruto's shirts.

Taking a peek into the bedroom, Boruto was still fast asleep. He had changed his position, now sleeping on his stomach with his face half-hidden on the pillow, and the blanket barely hiding his ass. She snickered and walked over to the bed, sitting on the side and stroking his back. He didn't even shift, and she quickly took her phone and snapped a photo of his sleeping face, barely containing her grin as she looked at the photo and took it with her downstairs.

Their house was a mess.

Paper cups everywhere, as well as paper plates and cans of beer. The bottles of booze were still out, some missing their caps and Sarara huffed. The night before was great, but cleaning this mess will take forever. It was only nine in the morning, and she suspected Boruto wouldn't be up at least until noon. Well… better get started.

But before that, music. She hooked up her phone to the speakers and lowered down the volume, making sure not to wake Boruto. Once that was settled, she picked up a garbage bag and started cleaning up. Throwing in the cups inside, as well as the paper plates and plastic utensils. Since she was focused on the task, she was able to clean up in less than an hour, washing up the dishes next and finally making herself some coffee.

Taking a seat and enjoying her cup, she looked up the stairs, and there was still no sign of Boruto getting up. She took her cup up with her to check on him, still in the same position as she had last seen him. Still not wanting to wake him, she went back downstairs and made herself breakfast. It was half-past eleven when she finished, and he was still asleep.

Boruto would surely be hungover, she thought. Best make him a good breakfast to ease him into the morning and prepare an aspirin for him. Going over to the fridge, she picked up the eggs and milk and then opened up the pantry to get the flour.

Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and some fruit should be good.

Getting to work, she finished the pancake batter and got the pan ready, spreading over some butter before pouring it in. Once she was happy with the stack she made, she started cooking up the bacon and eggs, loving how the whole kitchen was starting to smell. She transferred it all into one big plate and set it on his side of the table, before getting the coffee maker to run another fresh pot for him.

Sarada walked up the stairs, holding on to a cold glass of water and an aspirin, and found Boruto lying flat on his back, snoring lightly. Too cute.

She placed them on the side table and then crawled into bed, hovering over him. "Boruto," she whispered and stroked his hair. When he didn't move, she leaned in closer to his ear, whispering a little louder, "Borutooo, wake up." Her hand moved down to stroke his bare chest.

Still nothing.

She rolled her eyes and started kissing his face, calling out his name from time to time. Her hand moved a little lower down to his stomach and off to his side, poking him a bit to wake him. "Wake up, my love. I have breakfast ready for you."

Boruto shifted once and then again, then he rolled over and groaned. "No."

Sarada laughed lightly and kissed his cheek. "I made pancakes." When that didn't work, she poked his side again.

"I'm sleep," Boruto whined, swatting lazily at her hand.

Sarada withdrew her hand and went up to his neck, lightly tracing the side up and down, hoping to tickle him awake. "I have coffee waiting, too, and bacon."

"Nooooo!" He whined, shaking his head and reaching around for the covers until he got a hold of them and pulled it up over his head.

"Really?" She grinned. "You're going to hide from me? Using this blanket to keep you from me?" Sarada tried to sound hurt, but a fit of giggles was starting to bubble inside of her.

"Not coming out," He mumbled from under the covers.

"Borutooo," she whined, but ultimately ended up laughing. She could hear the coffee finishing up. "Don't make me waste what I cooked, and don't leave me out heeere!" she shook his shoulder, laughing as she did.

"Uggghhh!" He slung the covers off of himself and rolled onto his back, blinking his eyes open to look at her. "I don't wanna."

Even if his eyes were still cloudy from sleep, they were still so beautiful. She grinned and swopped down to brush her lips against his pouty lips. "Good morning, love."

Boruto kissed her, not about to let her tease him. "Morning. I guess." He pouted but slowly sat up.

Taking the aspirin and water from the side table, she handed it to him. "Here you go. This should help."

"Oh, you're a godsend." He breathed, gratefully accepting both and quickly taking the pill. He finished half the glass of water and then finally got out of bed. "It's a little too early for all this though, don't you think?"

"It's already noon," Sarada explained, and then took his hand and held it to her cheek. "Come down and have breakfast?"

"Okay fine." He sighed, but a small smile touched his lips. They left the room together and ventured down the stairs, Boruto moving much slower than he normally would and he grunted with every other step as if he couldn't be bothered. "Wow, I can't believe how great the house looks after the party. I figured it would be a mess."

"It was a mess." She nodded. "I already cleaned it up."

"Oh…" He looked at her with a sulk. "Sorry. I think I drank a lot."

She squeezed his hand and led him to the table, making him sit down. Once he was settled, she kissed the top of his head. "It's okay. You were probably drinking for me, too." Sarada smiled at him before going back to the kitchen, pouring the coffee into two mugs and adding some milk and sugar to both. When she was back, he was already eating, but that pout on his lips was still there.

"Thank you… I'm glad I have a wife to take care of me," He mused quietly, eager to have a sip of his coffee.

"Wife?" Sarada laughed. "Not yet, but sure, I'll take care of you when I am, too."

"Might as well be. Close enough, right?" He hummed, had a sip of his coffee, and then set it aside in favor of having a bite of bacon. "Have you been awake long?"

Taking a sip of coffee before answering, she nodded. "Yeah, before nine, I think. I didn't want to wake you, you looked so cute."

"Me? Well… I am pretty cute, I guess." He chuckled softly and reached over to poke her nose playfully. "Not gonna lie… I only remember bits and pieces of last night."

Her eyes lit up at that. "Tell me, tell me." She couldn't help but giggle and then drink more of her coffee and steal a bite from his pancake, proud that it came out perfect.

"Uhh… I remember most things I'm sure. Mitsuki came and agreed to drink with me. Everything after that is a little choppy…"

"Oh, yeah, he was nice," Sarada poked his bacon and took a bite of that. "What else? You said Papa was talking to you a lot. What did he say?"

Boruto nodded slowly, remembering that. "Oh yeah, we talked for a long time… but it was me doing most of the talking." He shook his head, laughing lightly. "I'm pretty sure I pissed him off a few times, but he never hit me, so…"

Sarada nodded, barely containing her grin. It looks like her Papa was really warming up to him if he let him talk over him that night. "What else?" Her grin turned into a smirk. "Do you remember seeing your sister?"

Boruto's face fell and he gagged. "That, I was trying to forget. Thanks a lot," He whined and sulked, just like a big baby.

She laughed and patted his hand, urging him to eat some more. "Sure, sure. Oh, do you remember that drinking contest?"

He thought about it for a few seconds while sipping his coffee again and then hummed. "Ah, yeah. I do. Your mom kicked Dad's ass. And what the hell happened to my money?! Shikadai, that damn con-artist."

"You actually gave him money?" Sarada threw her head back and laughed. Just how drunk was he that night? "Okay, anything else?"

"Hmm… I kind of remember your uncles doing something that surprised me… but I can't really remember it properly. It's fuzzy. Did something happen?"

"I don't really know… come to think of it, I don't even remember seeing them leave."

As if on cue, two figures were heading down the stairs. Dark hair messy and clothes crumpled. They looked like shit, but Sarada blinked, and a sly grin crawled up to her face. "Good morning, Uncle Itachi, Uncle Shisui. Fun night?"

The two men froze in the middle of the stairs, a nervous laugh coming from Shisui. "H-heya, Kiddo. We were just… umm… heading out."

Itachi pushed Shisui to get him moving. "We'll see you soon, thank you for the party."

"Oh, sure," Sarada was giggling, knowing full well what had taken place the night before for them. "Do you want to stay for breakfast? I don't remember where you two went."

Shisui blanched. "Nothing happened, I was drunk and like—you know."

They finally reached the bottom of the stairs, the two edging towards the door and slipping out.

"Well… now I remember… great." Boruto huffed, not sounding happy about it.

Sipping on her coffee, she placed it down on the table and brought her legs up on the chair, grinning at him. "Oh, you should hear how they got together. That's something you'll want to remember."

"Oh, I doubt it," Boruto muttered, pushing the plate towards her. "Here, you eat."

"Nooo," she pushed the plate back towards him. "I cooked that for you. Don't you like it?" Now it was her turn to pout, but her eyes were wide, giving him her version of puppy eyes.

Boruto frowned. "Don't you look at me like that. Of course, I like it, just… I drank too much. I can't handle anymore. I just want my coffee. Please eat the rest."

Still pouting at him, she pulled the plate towards her, feeling her hunger again. "Okay, fine." She pushed her cup of coffee towards him instead. "Here, you can have mine. Want me to make you more?"

"This is plenty for now." He smiled softly, still having half of his own cup to drink. "So, what am I forgetting… about last night?"

Taking a bite of pancakes and eggs, she thought for a moment before swallowing and saying, "I think Mitsuki and Sumire kicked it off well. They'll probably start dating. If they haven't already."

The blond scoffed at that. "Mitsuki? Date? Doubt it." It had never happened before and he couldn't see it happening now.

A small smile appeared on Sarada's face. "I wouldn't be so sure. You never thought you'd be in love but here you are," she teased.

"Well, when you're right, you're right." He shrugged, smiling wide at her. "I suppose we'll see what happens… Anything else?"

Their bath came to her mind, and she was about to bring it up but held her tongue when she remembered that he knew what she meant when she called him annoying a few months ago. Slowly, her cheeks reddened and she hid behind her cup of coffee. "Nope, I think that's it. Good sex, yes, that."

"I beg your pardon?"

Okay, that caught her attention. She placed her mug down on the table, afraid she would drop it. "You don't remember we had sex after our bath?"

"We took a bath?" He blinked.

"What? No, I mean, we cleaned up and then had sex." Sarada was trying her best not to remind him about that conversation. It was still a mystery to her how Boruto got it out of her Papa to tell him. Perhaps he told him about his own story with Sakura… but that was a stretch. That was personal to him and surely wouldn't have told Boruto straight up. No way.

"Are you lying?" His blue eyes narrowed on her. "No way in hell we had sex and I forgot it."

"What?" She blinked. "Of course I'm not. I was sober last night."

"Well, I certainly hope so." He snorted and raised his cup for another sip. "I'm really depressed now… how could we have sex and I not remember? Guess we'll just have to do it again. I hope it was good at least."

Sarada shook her head. "I knew you were going to say that." Finishing up the last of the food on her plate, she smirked. "You almost killed Kagura last night, too. Do you remember that? You scared me."

"That bastard." He growled, setting his cup down much harder than necessary. "Yeah, I remember. How could I forget that?"

Not wanting to ruin his already grumpy mood, she placed a hand on her chest and sighed dramatically. "You remember that but you don't remember having sex with me." Jutting out her lower lip and batting her long lashes at him, she asked, "Was I that bad, Boruto?"

It was a little uncharacteristic of her to be this playful, but he was so grumpy, she couldn't help but tease him a little more.

"Don't be silly. You're always amazing. It's me that I'm worried about." He sighed. "At least tell me about it, maybe you can refresh my memory."

She hummed. "Maybe I can show you instead." Enjoying the way his cheeks flushed, she grinned. "Maybe later, though. I'll clean these up, first."

"So mean." He pouted and got up to stretch. "I should take care of it, you have already done enough."

Letting him pick up the plates and mugs, she followed him to the kitchen. Boruto placed everything in the sink, getting the water running. Sarada wrapped one arm around his middle, and the other hand went up to his scalp, massaging his head lightly with her fingertips. He was most likely suffering a massive headache, but he still wanted to help her out. He was always taking care of her and she wanted to be able to take care of him, too. In any little way that she could.

"That feels really… good. I'll go to sleep standing here if you don't stop." He said, his hands barely moving around as he worked on the dishes.

She hummed and leaned into his back a little more. "I can massage your head for you later if you like."

"I really like." He nodded, trying to hurry with the dishes, but he was more interested in her.

Noticing that he stopped washing the plates and leaned into her touch more, she pulled her hand away from his head and took his hand, rinsing the soap away. "You can do that later, come to the couch with me. I'll take care of you."

"No wonder why I'm marrying you." He smiled lazily, going along with her. "Careful, if you spoil me too much I might drink more often."

She scoffed. "You apparently don't remember, but I told you you can only drink that much for that night." Settling them on the couch, she let him lie down on her lap, and she got to work, massaging his head, rubbing at his temples before moving to his forehead and then his scalp. Boruto closed his eyes, enjoying her touch. "Feel okay?"

"Mmm yeah." He whispered sleepily, happily nuzzling her lap.

"Are you falling asleep?" she whispered.

"No." He sighed softly. "Don't stop."

"Mhmm," she agreed, but didn't believe him one bit. His breathing was slowing down, relaxing into her lap even more. She kept on massaging his head until his lips parted, snoring lightly. "What a liar," she whispered fondly to herself. Sarada stopped massaging his head, but stroked his hair instead, keeping it away from his face.

Well… now she was stuck on the couch. At least, until he woke up.

Opening up her planner, Sarada found a red number 16 on it, and her eyes widened. The following day, she had a schedule to see the doctor and they were set for an ultrasound to find out the baby's gender. Excited, she picked it up and showed Boruto.

"Look, look!" Barely containing her excitement, she practically shoved the notebook up his face right when he got out of the shower. "Look what week it is!"

"Oh, I know, Princess… I've been waiting for this." He grinned, matching her excitement. "We're finally going to find out what our little peanut is."

Squealing, she nearly jumped up and down. "I can't wait. I want to know. Do you think it's a boy? Maybe a girl. Oh my god, I want a boy. But it doesn't really matter. I just want to know!" Pregnancy was really changing her. From the mood swings and the reactions, she just wasn't the same person she was a few months ago.

"Boy. Girl. I don't know, I also just want to know." He laughed. "Healthy peanut is all we need. And it could be twins, ya know."

She gasped and hit his chest. "Don't you dare! I'm the one pushing this out, not you." That happy mood turned into anger real quick, making Boruto laugh. He was probably used to it by now… but she wasn't. Sometimes she wondered how she didn't get whiplash from all of her mood swings. "You need to have twins in your genetic line for that, you know?"

"I know. And I do. My grandfather is a twin." He said smugly.

That anger quickly turned to dread. Oh no. "Shit."

.

.

.

Sarada was squeezing Boruto's hand in a vice-like grip as they waited for their turn. She wanted to know her baby's gender so bad, already thinking of possible names. Be it a girl or a boy, she knew she would be happy. Boruto was right, having a happy and healthy baby was all that mattered but god, she wanted to know.

"I want to know already," she whimpered, wishing that the couple before them would already finish.

"I know, I know." Boruto smiled, patting their clasped hands with his free one. "Not much longer now."

Sarada pouted and slumped down on the chair, feeling very much like a child denied a piece of candy before dinner. Why can't the couple hurry up already? There were people waiting!

"Can we go shopping after? I'm so excited I want to decorate the nursery as soon as we can!" Boruto was hoping to distract her, and himself. He was as ready as she was after all.

Decorating the nursery? Yes. "Definitely," Sarada agreed. And the names! We need to pick a name."

"We do. Have you thought of any?" He asked, smiling brightly. With every day that passed, things just became more real and more exciting for him.

"I have a few," Sarada chuckled. "But I'll wait to find out first. I don't want to be set on it and find out I need to change it."

After a few more minutes, the wait was over, and they were called in for the ultrasound.

Sarada lied down on the bed, lifting her shirt up as the tech got ready to smear a clear gel on her tummy. Boruto didn't let go of her hand, and she squeezed his once the gel made contact, right under her belly button. It was cold. Would it kill them to warm it up?

The discomfort would be worth it, she told herself. The tech told them where to look on the monitor as they placed the instrument down on her tummy, pressing lightly.

The black and white images started to move, just as the tech was roaming around to spot their little peanut. Both she and Boruto stared on with wide eyes, the anticipation killing them.

"Are you two wanting to learn the sex of the baby?" The tech asked casually as she moved the probe around, spreading the gel while making a few notes through her machine.

"Yes!" They both answered quickly and she laughed.

"Okay," she hummed and paused over the left side of Sarada's lower belly. It was much rounder now, but she knew she would still get much, much bigger. "Here's an arm, and a little hand… baby is making a fist, you see?" She smiled as she moved it slightly so the picture was clearer on the screen.

Sarada's free hand came to cover her mouth, feeling tears come up to her eyes. How a little hand could make her feel so emotional was beyond her. That was their baby, making a fist. Her eyes never left the screen, wanting to see more of their little peanut.

"Oh my god, the baby has a fist." Boruto cooed, unable to believe it.

"Of course, the baby has two, actually." The tech giggled and then worked the probe to the other side. "Here's the legs, all crossed in there. I don't think they want you to know what they're hiding."

She gasped upon seeing more of her baby and laughed at the tech's joke. "Oh, no. But we want to see." Sarada laughed.

"We still have time, maybe they will open up, if not… I do have a few tricks." She smiled as she slid the probe towards Sarada's belly button, soon revealing the baby's head. "Whoa, baby has a lot of hair."

"What? Where? How can you tell?" Boruto asked, staring at the fuzzy image. They were seeing their baby for the first time and he didn't know how to handle it, really. But he was so happy.

"See here," She showed around the head, what looked like more fuzz. "All of this is hair."

"No waaaay."

Sarada giggled at Boruto's reaction, but she really was no better. The more of their baby she saw, the more she thought she would cry. It was real. This was really happening. She and Boruto have a baby. "Can we see more?"

"Yes, of course." The tech nodded, explaining every little detail about their baby. They were both fully enraptured in learning everything they could. She even paused over the baby's heart and hit a button that allowed them to hear its heartbeat. So loud and strong. "Okay, let's see if we can learn the sex now."

"Yes, please!" Boruto couldn't take it anymore.

Boruto was so cute when he was this excited. His blue eyes were sparkling, and it only increased her own excitement. She squeezed his hand, feeling anxious, nearly shaking in anticipation.

Would it be a boy, like her Papa wanted? Or maybe a girl, and she would be the sweetest angel ever.

The tech moved the probe around, settling over the legs. "Still hiding." She laughed but went on working the probe, shaking it around a bit, and Sarada gasped at feeling the baby move while seeing it at the same time. "There it is!"

"What?! Tell us!" Boruto bounced on his feet, nearing insanity by this point.

"It's a boy."

A strangled scream came from Sarada. She couldn't believe it, seeing it on the screen and hearing it from the tech finally pushed her to tears. "Oh my god." She looked at Boruto, a big smile on his face. "It's a boy! We're having a baby boy." Sarada wiped the tears from her cheeks, glasses going askew.

Boruto was all grins as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I can't believe it."

"Neither can I." She was still wiping at her cheeks, the screen looking blurry from her tears but she couldn't stop looking. "I'm so happy."

"I'll print a lot of pictures for you two." The tech said before removing the probe, taking away the image of their baby. She used a small towel to clean the gel from Sarada's tummy and then told her she could sit up.

Boruto helped her into a sitting position, laughing as she continued to cry. "You don't need to cry, ya know?" He teased her while the tech wrapped everything up and then offered the prints.

"Shut up," Sarada sniffed and put her glasses back on properly. "I can't believe you're not. You're so annoying." Her whole face was puffy, she could feel her eyes and nose swell up.

"Yes, yes, I love you too." He snickered while accepting the prints and looking them over. "I think he looks like me."

Her heart fluttered at the thought. Having a tiny Boruto run around the house would be so cute. But thinking of how annoying he is, hell no. "Oh, gosh. I hope not," she scoffed. "I thought you said you wanted him to look like me?"

"I do, but damn, what are you trying to say here? You think I'm ugly?" He frowned, brows furrowing.

Sarada rolled her eyes and jumped off the bed. "Don't be silly. There's no way I'm marrying someone ugly." She kissed his cheek and took one of the prints from his hands, getting all emotional again just seeing their baby boy. "He's so beautiful."

"I know. I mean look at his parents, how couldn't he be?" He smirked.

She wrapped her arms around him and sighed. "I'm so excited."

"Me too. Me too. I can't wait to go shopping. You think he'll like pink?"

Sarada laughed loudly at that and nuzzled into him. "Maybe. Maybe he'll be as silly as you, too. And want to eat burgers for every meal."

"Well, not to start with. He needs teeth first. Then, he can eat all the burgers he wants! I can't wait to take him to Thunder Burger. We will go at least once a week still." He was speaking quickly in his excitement.

They both thanked the tech, holding on to their pictures and the results with the tech's notes. The two of them couldn't stop talking about their next steps. Going to the furniture store to buy more decorations, talking about what to paint the nursery walls, and what toys they should be considering as early as now. And of course, the gender-reveal party. It had to be extra. Boruto being Boruto already had a lot of ideas, and it only excited Sarada more. Even though they waited half an hour for their turn, it completely breezed by, as they were both so distracted on their phones looking at ideas for their party.

Her parents would be thrilled, for sure.

Finally, when they were called in for their turn, the couple was still all smiles, not coming down from their high.

"Well, you two look happy," Shizune grinned and took the folder from Boruto. "Were you happy to know the gender?"

"Ecstatic." Boruto beamed. "We're having a boy. Can you believe it?"

"Congratulations!" She beamed. "Isn't that what you wanted, Sarada?"

She nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I still can't believe it."

"Good," Shizune's smile softened. "Well, everything looks great with your baby. He's growing well. You should be able to feel him move a few times every hour at least. From here onward, he will become more active and your belly will grow more and more. Do you have any questions?"

Sarada did ask a few, asking for her diet, or if there were anything else she would need to do during her second trimester and what else to expect. While Shizune was explaining, Sarada stole a glance at Boruto, who was looking at her lovingly, the light in his eyes the brightest she had ever seen. He looked adorable. She gave him a smile and reached for his hand to hold.

As soon as they were done with the appointment, they stood to leave and walked back to the car. Boruto opened the door for her, but instead of hopping right in, she pulled him in for a long kiss. He wrapped his arms around her, happy to take the time to enjoy those sweet lips. When he pulled back, he was still all smiles.

"I love you. And our peanut… our baby boy."

She would never, ever tire of hearing him say that to her. To hear Boruto say that about their baby boy just made her fall for him even more. "I love you, too. We both do." Her hand coming up to stroke her tummy.

Sarada loves her new family.

A/N: Thank you once again for all the love and support!

It's a boy! Who do you think among their family and friends would guess if it was a boy or a girl? We have more domestic and baby-related things coming soon. Teehee.

Stay safe and healthy, fam.

Cheers,

Kairi and Tyy
