A/N: Thank you so much for the overwhelming love and responses! Yes, we are headed towards baby territory and you will definitely be seeing a lot more of these domestic themes! :)

We don't own Naruto/Boruto.

It wasn't easy for Boruto to hold himself back from calling everyone to tell them the good news, but he managed, with Sarada's help of course. At least he had a distraction, they were going shopping for the baby and he was really excited about that. The nursery looked nice but plain. There were still many things they needed and he was looking forward to going on a spending spree.

The shopping center wasn't too busy considering it was a weekday and still during working hours when they arrived. That was good for them and this time things were peaceful because it was only the two of them. They walked hand in hand through the store, going for the crib sets first.

"Should we go with a certain theme? I've never done this before…" Boruto started looking through everything, finding lots of cute stuff they could buy for their baby. Making a decision wasn't going to be easy for him.

"I would be concerned if this wasn't your first time, Boruto." She was being cheeky, poking at his side as she looked around the beddings.

"Don't go acting like you're experienced!" He huffed, but he was grinning from ear to ear. "I think we're doing well considering."

She hummed and looked over a duck themed bedding. "This is cute. Or should we look for a peanut themed one?"

"Aw, peanut… that's so cute." Boruto cooed. "I don't know, I kind of like that sky theme there."

"Ooh!" She perked up at seeing it, there were big fluffy clouds, and even had some cloud-like lanterns to go with the set. "This does look nice."

"So soft, right. Like you." He mused, more looking at her than the bedding. "I like blue. We can add pink to other things."

Sarada giggled. "Cerulean blue, white and pink? What a combination."

"Oh, yes. It sounds so perfect," He said, so happy and honest. "Should we do it?"

"When you look this happy, how can I say no?"

"Right." Boruto chuckled, grabbing a set and putting it in the cart. "It will look great with all the white furniture too. Ooh, look, they even have these wooden letters. We need to decide on a name. Right now."

"You want to decide right now?" She gaped. "A name should have a lot of thought into it! Do you even have an idea of what you want?"

"I don't know… Boruto maybe." He shrugged, smirking at the idea.

"NO!" She denied it so fast and loud that some people looked their way. Realizing her outburst she sighed. "Boruto, please. I'm serious. I don't want our son to have his name rushed just because you want to get these letters."

"Our son…" Boruto breathed, blue eyes looking to her in amazement. "I'm so happy, Sarada."

Her eyes softened and she smiled at him. "I know, I'm so happy, too." She walked a little closer, hugging him and stroking his back. "But we're still not naming him Boruto."

"Aw man…" He pouted, but couldn't help himself when it turned into a smile. "You don't have any ideas… I mean look at these letters. They're so nice and we can paint them, blue, white, pink."

Sarada laughed. "You're so silly! But yeah, I do have a name." Her cheeks turned the prettiest shade of pink. "Itachi. Because I want to nickname him 'Ita-kun'."

"Sarada," He gasped. "You wound me." He frowned and shook his head, pouting again, for real this time. "You don't want another Boruto but you want another Itachi?"

She grinned and nuzzled his chest. "I've wanted to name my baby boy Itachi before I even met you. I love my uncle and it's a cute nickname, don't you think?"

"Your uncle is a big meanie!" Boruto huffed, pulling away to cross his arms and sulk. "But… I guess it is a cute nickname…"

She gasped, but the smile on her face was evident. "He isn't mean! He loves me. And I can't even begin to tell you how many times Papa thought I loved him more." Sarada laughed at the thought.

"I can only imagine how he'll feel once he finds out you're naming your son after Itachi instead of him… or me." He rolled his eyes.

Sarada wrapped her arms around him again, a big smile on her face. "Does this mean you're okay with naming him Ita-kun?" She batted those long eyelashes of hers at him and he knew he was in trouble.

"... maybe." He mumbled and then smiled, sighing deeply. "I'm happy as long as you're happy, Princess."

She squealed and tiptoed to kiss his cheek. "Yay!" Sarada quickly let go of him and turned to get the blocks, but only getting enough for the nickname and not 'Itachi'. "I can't wait to paint it!"

"Me too!" Boruto laughed. "We'll have to buy you a mask though, don't want you breathing in any chemicals. I would do it myself… but I want to be able to do it together, ya know?"

There was no argument on her side, still just happy he agreed to name their baby what she has always wanted. "Okay, okay. We should get you one, too. I don't want you getting sick or anything."

"Aw, okay. I want to match you anyway. We can take a lot of pictures too, start an album for the baby. What do you think?" He asked as she placed the wooden letters in the cart and then they moved further down. "You know, I had an idea too… what if we had someone come and paint the room like the sky. To go with the theme, of course. Wouldn't that be awesome?"

"That sounds great. Maybe even put in glow in the dark stars. It would look cute." She linked her arm with his as they walked through the aisles. "I like the picture idea."

"Oh, we should also start taking pictures of you and baby. You're growing a lot more now. Ah, you'll need your own album. Shit, I need to buy a professional camera."

She laughed. "A professional camera? You're too much." Sarada leaned on his shoulder as they walked on, looking for more things they might want to buy.

"Just because my phone is supposed to have an amazing camera doesn't mean the real deal won't be so much better. Oh, but if I take them on my phone, I can look at them all the time." He hummed happily to himself and then turned his head to place a kiss atop hers. "Leaves me no choice but to take pictures from both. The electronics store is next, Princess."

There was no arguing with him, and she knew that. "Okay, love."

It wasn't long before they finished their shopping for the nursery and then moved to the electronics store. Boruto spent half an hour talking over the cameras with one of the workers before finally deciding on one and then their time to go home finally came. He was so excited, carrying all their purchases up to the nursery with Sarada following along. Right now, their home was quiet aside from soft and easy conversation between the two as they looked around the room, picturing it finished.

"We'll save the crib set and curtains for later… after painting." Boruto said once they'd finished everything else. Only the walls were bare, and only for now. He had many things on his mind, all baby and Sarada related. In the midst of his crazy thoughts, he snapped his fingers and turned to his fiancée. "Hey, let's have a party, like one of those gender reveals. It will be a lot more fun that way."

She poked his cheek, a grin on her lips. "I thought you said you didn't want another party because you had to share me." Sarada laughed and then kissed his cheek. "I would usually say no, but that sounds cute. It's terrible how having a baby is making me want to share this with everybody." Her voice dropped to whisper, "What is happening to me?"

"You're a mommy now." He grinned and returned her kiss by placing one to her own cheek. "This will be different. No drinking. Promise."

"I highly doubt that," Sarada laughed and stroked his cheek. "I'm going to be a mommy."

"Yeah, you are." He smiled fondly and then gave her a sweet kiss before pulling back and getting his phone. "Alright! I'll invite everyone. We can do it this weekend."

"So soon!" Sarada's eyes widened. "I can't keep disappearing from the office, you know? I have work to do."

"I said this weekend. Saturday. No work." He snickered. "There's no way I will be able to hold out longer than that. You just don't worry about anything, okay? I'll take care of it."

"But… I want to help," she pouted and then rolled her eyes. "I need to manage your star, too. Can we switch tasks?"

"Star? What are you going on about?" He was at a loss, face scrunched as he tried to make sense of her words.

Sarada stared at him for a good, long while before finally resigning that he really had no idea who she was talking about. "Lily. The singer you sealed a contract with. You know, instead of the Kagemasa one that the team and I worked really hard on."

"I did the right thing, Sarada. I don't make mistakes about stuff like that. But I'm so glad you have to deal with her and not me." He laughed and started typing out a text to forward to everyone.

Her cheeks puffed and she crossed her arms across her chest. "Whatever. Kagemasa would have been so much easier to deal with." A sigh escaped her lips and she made a move to leave the nursery. "I'll have dinner going. Don't spoil the surprise, now."

"Don't worry," he called back to her and then went to sit in the rocking chair to finish inviting everyone. Soon enough, he would get to hold his son in this rocking chair. He couldn't wait.

There was a lot of planning to be done before the weekend, so Boruto got straight to work. He decided to shop online for the party decorations, going with a cloud theme that would fit well with the nursery. His excitement has him lost in time until Sarada came for him once dinner was ready. Before the weekend came, he would have it all together and he couldn't wait to reveal the news to their friends and family.

.

Saturday arrived and Boruto was awake at the crack of dawn, eager to get everything set up. He wanted to wake Sarada, but she was sleeping so well and looked far too beautiful to be disturbed. She didn't need to be doing too much anyway, and if she was awake, she would want to help do everything. The party was from two to four that afternoon and Boruto has everything ready before nine. Before Sarada ever woke up.

He made her breakfast and brought it to her in bed, waking her up when he could stand it no longer. She woke up in a good mood, smiling and happily accepting a good morning kiss and her breakfast. Boruto sat with her, sipping coffee while she ate and they talked about the big reveal for the umpteenth time. When she finished, they had a shower together and then decided to laze around and watch tv to pass the time.

"Thriller?" Boruto suggested first, holding her against him with his arm around her.

"It's ten in the morning!" Sarada got a throw pillow and hit him with it. "Can't we watch something cuter? We'll be watching a lot of baby TV soon, though."

"You think my peanut isn't gonna like thrillers? Yeah right." He rolled his eyes and flipped through Ninflix, going to the kids just out of curiosity.

She gasped and hit him again, eyes narrowing. "You are not going to let Ita-kun watch thrillers. I will put parental controls on the TV, one that even you can't get rid of."

"Hey!" He whined, poking out his bottom lip. "But he will love them… and we can watch as a family."

"No."

"Why not?" He pouted. "I love thrillers…"

"Ita-kun is a baby," Sarada couldn't believe Boruto was actually pushing for this. "I don't want him to be scared and have him clinging on to us all the time."

"And you won't let me watch either… so you're taking away my thrillers." He groaned. "I don't know if I can take it…"

She laughed and kissed his cheek. "When the baby is asleep, you can. How about that?"

"...you'll watch with me sometimes?" He asked hopefully, though tried not to sound like he actually needed her to or anything.

"That sounds like a possibility," Sarada rolled his eyes and got up from the couch. "But if you don't want me to, then that's fine."

"Of course I want you to!" He huffed. "Where are you going? Come back."

"You sounded like you didn't need me for a second there," Sarada hummed and she smirked.

"Whatever," he looked up at her and patted his leg in invitation. "I always need you."

Sarada walked over and sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling her nose on his cheek. "I like the sound of that."

"You should be used to it." He scoffed in amusement while rubbing her back. "I think… I'd be kind of lost without you, ya know."

"I wouldn't know where I would be without you as well." Planting soft kisses on his cheek, Sarada kept going until she reached his temple and then kissed his brow, leading down to his eye, nose, and ultimately his lips, lingering a little longer before pulling away.

"I love you. Thank you."

"I love you too."

Guests started arriving before two. The firsts being their parents who were all at the door at the same time. Himawari was with them, the five dressed for the party to support their guesses for the baby's gender. Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto were all wearing a blend of blue and pink, as they had no preference and were looking forward to the reveal no matter what they learned. Himawari and Sasuke were in blue only though.

Not long after their arrival, others filed in. Itachi and Shisui were next, both of them sporting pink and big grins. Inojin was right behind them, but his colors were like a rainbow, totally not what he was supposed to be wearing. Boruto almost didn't let him inside. And he did stop him at the door.

"The hell are you wearing a rainbow for?" He asked, scowling at the multicolored shirt.

"Love wins!" Inojin grinned. "Whatever the gender, I'm all for it."

"Don't you think you're being a bit… extra?" Boruto huffed.

Inojin hummed. "A dozen roses and chocolate-covered strawberries are too, but you don't hear me complaining."

"What? Somebody sent you those?" Boruto asked, not catching what he meant.

He laughed and tapped Boruto's shoulder. "Why don't you ask Sarada, Boruto?" Inojin walked right into the house, letting himself in. "Hey, Hima-chan!"

"Ugh." Boruto glared after him and almost closed the door on the next arrival. His whole face twitched when he saw Kagura. Until he remembered he was the one who invited him. "Kagura," he greeted with a perfect smile.

His smile was rivaled by Kagura's, equally as bright and charming. He wore a pink shirt. "Boruto, thank you for inviting me." He was even holding on to a small box, also in pink. "I brought your baby something, well, hopefully, I'm right. But if not, maybe Sarada can use it instead."

"Doubtful," Boruto mumbled while waving him in with a much tighter smile. "There is a place for gifts over there," he said while pointing to the table he had set up.

Kagura beamed at him and walked over to place his gift down, before going over to greet Sarada and chat with Inojin. Thankfully, he didn't make a move to touch Sarada this time.

Boruto wished he would. That would be the thing for him to do today. The door was barely closed before another knock sounded on it and he opened the door to find Shikadai and his girlfriend, Yodo. They were both in blue.

"Shikadai," Boruto smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder. "Glad you could make it, and Yodo. Hello, it's been a while."

"Heya," Yodo raised her brow at him, but also offered a small smile. "When Shika told me you got someone knocked up, I wasn't as surprised. But engaged?" She laughed. "I'm so happy for you."

The blond laughed and stepped aside for them to walk in. "A lot has changed for me… what can I say." He shrugged.

"He's so in love with her," Shikadai smirked. "Congrats, dude. Can't wait to add this to another count of when I'm right."

"As if." Boruto clicked his tongue. "What are you even trying to say?"

"I won't need to ask twice next time," Shikadai laughed and walked into their home, hand in hand with his girl.

Soon, their house was filled with people, a near, even blend of blue and pink everywhere. Half an hour in, Boruto got everyone's attention to have them participate in one of the things he'd planned. It was a time capsule of sorts, where everyone would write down their hopes and dreams for the baby and then seal it away, only to be opened on his sixteenth birthday.

While everyone was busy, Boruto found Sarada holding on to a slip of paper as well, pen poised to write but her attention was on him instead, smiling the softest of smiles he had ever seen on her. She noticed he was looking at her, too, and she mouthed him an I love you to him before giggling and going back to the task at hand.

He felt his heart flutter, but he forced his attention to his own paper to write down all that was in his heart when he thought of his son. He got cut short when he ran out of paper and sulked about that for a bit before deciding it would be fine. After all, he was going to be there every day to tell him in person.

He added his first and then waited closer to Sarada, wanting her to be second. "Can I see?" He asked in a whisper, trying to peek at what she'd written.

For a moment, she covered it with her left hand and pouted at him. "No, I don't want you to get a big head. Well, bigger." She snickered.

"Now, now." He grinned and held out his hand. "Don't worry about that… show me."

Sarada grinned. "No. But I'll let you see this part," she slipped her hand up and showed him the most recent line she wrote.

I wish for you to be like your father.

The words made his heart stop, his breath hitch, and everything else but her just disappeared. "You wrote that…" he whispered, unable to believe it. He was absolutely touched.

"Why wouldn't I?" she whispered. "I want our little peanut to be just as loving as you are."

"Even though… even though…"

Sarada laughed and slipped the paper closer to her so he wouldn't see what she was writing next. "Even though what, love?"

"Even though… I'm annoying?"

She flipped the paper around and looked at him, trying to glare but her smile won over. "They'll be annoying, for sure. But not as annoying as you."

"Sarada… you're annoying too." Boruto cooed, pulling her into his arms for a loving hug. "So, so annoying."

Sarada laughed and hugged him back, nuzzling into his neck before letting go. "Let me finish this already. I don't want to be the only one who hasn't written anything yet."

"Okay." He nodded and waited silently for her to finish, only allowing everyone else to add there's after she had.

The box he had made was a sky blue with clouds all over it had the current date displayed on the side and was filled completely before he and Sarada closed it up and locked it. It wouldn't be opened again until their son's sixteenth birthday and that was something they were already looking forward to. So much would happen over the years, but Boruto expected them to all be happy, always. He would make sure of it.

There was a copy of the ultrasound blown up and on display, for everyone to see. It had been gushed over and guessed at over the course of the party and Boruto has Himawari take a lot of pictures with the new camera he bought. Finally, it became time for the reveal, and Boruto took Sarada's hand, leading her to the large cloud hanging from the ceiling. They stood beneath it, smiling at their guests.

"Everybody ready?" Boruto asked, not thinking he could wait another second.

A round of yes' and please's sounded throughout the room and the pair exchanged a smile as they reached for the strings attached to the cloud. Boruto counted them down and then they pulled at the same time. The cloud burst open, blue confetti raining down on them in heaps. Everybody in the room had to be screaming.

"I knew it! I KNEW IT!" Himawari squealed, jumping up and down while trying to continue to take pictures.

Sarada was laughing, watching her father's face in happy disbelief while her mother was shaking him… a little too violently.

"I shoulda known!" Shisui laughed. "You don't glow like that when you're having a girl."

Chocho was still screaming, genuinely happy while Shikadai and Yodo exchanged knowing looks.

Naruto was cheering, happy to have another boy in the family, while Hinata wiped a tear away, crying happy tears for the two.

"We've decided on a name for him too," Boruto said proudly while resting his hand on Sarada's hip.

A hush fell over, and all eyes were on them. Sarada took a paper bag and spilled seven blocks on the table before them.

"What the hell is that, a dash?" Inojin pulled the lollipop out of his mouth, face contorted. "What kinda name did you choose, Boruto?"

"What name is this?" Even Shikadai seemed puzzled, his genius brain going to work to unscramble the letters.

"Sorry to disappoint it's not your name, Sasuke-kun," Sakura laughed.

"Kun…" Itachi came forward and gently waved the people away as his hands went to work.

Sarada could barely contain her grin, knowing that her uncle had already figured it out. Once he finished, he took a step back to look, tears brimming at the corner of his dark eyes. "Sarada…"

Everyone looked at the table, and Boruto and Sarada made the letters stand, so everyone could see.

ITA-KUN

"His name will be Itachi. But, he will go by Ita-kun," Boruto explained with a broad smile.

Itachi wiped the tear from his eye, Shisui coming behind him to place a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He then looked at the two. "I can guess who the favorite uncle is."

Everyone laughed, and their parents came to the two to congratulate. Sakura gave each of them a big, tight hug, nearly crushing Boruto's spine. "I'm so happy and excited for you two," she gushed.

Sasuke gave his daughter a hug and patted Boruto's shoulder. Progress.

"You approve, right, Pops? You're happy?" Boruto asked, blue eyes sparkling in happiness.

"Hn." As much as Sasuke tried, he couldn't stop from smiling at Boruto. Sasuke guessed right, and if Sarada was really serious, Sasuke had been wanting a boy since he found out she was pregnant. "Congratulations, you two."

Boruto hugged Sasuke excitedly, grinning from ear to ear before he was stolen by his own parents who formed a group hug with him and Sarada. It only lasted a moment before Naruto pulled Boruto away, holding him tight and lifting him off his feet, being as extra as possible.

"Dad, oh my god dad, put me down this instant!" Boruto hissed, face flaming.

Naruto laughed as he released his son and ruffled his hair. "You know they say everything you do as a kid comes back double through your own children. Good luck."

Bastard. "Hey, I have always been a perfect son." Boruto frowned.

"Never said you weren't." Naruto smiled softly and embraced him once more before turning to Sarada and giving Himawari the chance to pounce on him.

She took his by surprise, jumping up and throwing her arms around his neck, leaving him no choice but to wrap his arms around her to keep them upright.

"Bro, you're making me an auntie. You're giving me a nephew… Ita-kun… I love him so much already!"

"So do I." He chuckled and then bent down to set her on her feet. "I'm sure you'll spoil him every chance you get… and the other kids too."

"There's going to be more!" Himawari squealed and pulled Sarada for a hug. "Oh, I want them! I want plenty!"

Sarada laughed and hugged her back. "Now I know you two really are related."

"There will be lots of kids, no worries," Boruto smirked and then leaned over to kiss the woman he loved. His princess, the mother of his child, his soon to be wife.

Through her, he knew he would find and maintain true happiness. Unconditional love and an unbreakable bond. He wasn't just a man anymore. He was a man with great responsibility and a family to look after. Knowing that gave him the utmost satisfaction. His life felt so much more meaningful than it ever had before and he was really and truly happy.

A/N: I wish everyone is alive AU was a reality because I need this to be canon. :( Since it's not, we just have to write about it instead. Haha!

What do you think of the name? I actually have a number of fics wherein Ita-kun is BoruSara's first child. :)

Have a great week ahead and wash your hands, fam.

Cheers,

Kairi and Tyy
