Author's Note: Angsty stuff gone, Now's time for the comfort and family fluff!

Also, to have you all prepare for the future, none of the children here will be replicated in my other story Boruto visits the Shinachiku Universe. There is no SasuHina in this one, I am sorry to say, but I had another child (And children) planned for others, like Sasuke and Hinata. I hope you can all understand and still enjoy what is to come!


There was some discussion about the schedule between Hinata and Sakura and how they would take Shinachiku.

Hinata was a stay at home mother, but it was for two children, and though Sakura had one child, she still had a job to do that took up her time.

It was then agreed Hinata essentially the one to take care of Shinachiku when Sakura was unable to be around, and though Sakura was unsure, Hinata insisted.

After all, this child might not be hers, but he was Naruto's, and she felt obligated to help while Naruto was so busy.

To commemorate the entire thing, they all had dinner together at the Uzumaki Household, Shinchiku being passed around to everyone during dinner.

Himawari and Sarada fed him mashed up foods, loving his smile while Boruto tried not to look happy when Shinachiku was placed into his lap with a sippy cup, all three parents doting on him in various levels as Naruto liked holding the little one and gabbing to him, Hinata cleaning up after him and softly fussing, making sure he didn't overeat while Sakura bounced him in her lap, eventually shifting him into a position where he could sleep when he got tuckered out.

As she looked out over the table she smiled softly, putting her face on her new son's shoulder to hide her warm smile, eating with the others until Boruto pushed away from the table.

" Dinner was great Mom, Thanks!" He then quickly bolted as everyone watched him, Sarada slamming her hands on the table,

" Boruto get back here and help with the clean-up!" Sarada snapped as she pushed her chair away and took off after him, Himawari giggling as she had a few pieces of rice on her cheek, Hinata brushing them away with a napkin before standing and gathering plates with Himawari, Naruto leaning back and stretching with a happy hum.

" Oi Naruto, aren't you going to help out your wife with clean up?" Sakura stared blankly at him, Naruto looking to Sakura before giving a sheepish laugh.

" Uh, I don't want to get in her way!" He then looked to the side, " Never really did that before anyways..."

" What?!" Sakura jumped up and grabbed Naruto by the collar, lifting him up with one hand, " Dammit Naruto you better go help your wife after she made dinner! Shannaro!" She then pitched him into the kitchen with an exaggerated crash.

" Mama you might wake up Shina-Chan!" Sarada reprimanded her mother as she dragged in Boruto, setting him down on his feet as he pouted and helped gather the remaining glasses and napkins.

" Ah Sorry…" She looked down to the little blond, only to find him still sleeping, " Hmm, he seems fine."

" He's probably used to loudness already." Hinata remarked with a small smile, " He had Naruto-kun as his father after all."

" Ah Come on Hinata, I'm not that bad!" Naruto pouted from his place at the sink, having brushed his wife aside as Himawari happily helped him dry off the dishes.

" Yeah, you're worse." Sakura blankly stated while Boruto rolled his eyes, Hinata taking her place back at the table and timidly putting one hand over the other on the table, looking hesitant to ask before finally putting it forward.

" Sakura-Chan, have you... Told Sasuke-kun about this?"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Sakura paused and looked down to Shinachiku.

Ah. Yes. Sasuke.

" No, not yet. Then again..." She chuckled almost bitterly, " I'm not the one he stays in contact with from what I had heard."

All eyes in the room went to Naruto as he gave a glass to Himawari, pausing at the eyes on him and looking back, " Huh?"

" Hey, Old Man, ya gonna let Sasuke-San know about Shinachiku?" Boruto asked before anyone else, " He'd listen to you best."

Sakura said nothing to retort this as she tenderly pet the sleeping blond's head, feeling his little breath brush against her shoulder as he was facing outwards, arms curled to his chest as she nuzzled him, Hinata watching her with sympathy.

" Alright, I can do that, he'd probably be eager to meet him! This is a pretty interesting situation we've all been placed in after all!" He didn't seem to read the mood, and if he did he ignored it as he looked to Himawari, taking the dry glass from her, " Shall we go watch a movie Hima?"

" Uh Huh!" Himawari looked pleased as punch, also ignoring the slightly tense atmosphere as she jumped down and ran past her brother.

" Oi Himawari, don't put in that stupid movie you keep watching-"

" It's not stupid!" She merely called back as Boruto went after her as Sarada sighed and went after them, Naruto smiling without showing his teeth before he scratched his head and looked back to the two women before Shinachiku, his smile stretching indulgently for the little one as he gave a little laugh, " Well, I'll keep on the lookout for any new kids that might come around, how about a movie?"

" Well you did your chores, I'll say you earned it." Sakura smirked before standing with Hinata, Sakura trailing after the kids as Boruto and Himawari squabbled about which movie to watch, Hinata pausing for a moment and looking to her husband.

" Naruto-kun, how exactly are you going to broach this with Sasuke-kun?"

" Just tell him the truth!" Naruto placed his hands on his hips and gave an Uzumaki grin, " He doesn't like anything sugar-coated, and After all if anyone can handle that bastard it's me."

He chuckled before moving forward first as she nodded almost timidly, not fearing much for Naruto as she was for Sakura as she followed them, helping supply the blankets as Naruto wrapped himself up in one with Himawari- Boruto having struggled and refused, joining his mother- and Sakura with Sarada and Shinachiku as she quickly fell asleep with Shinachiku in her arms and Sarada's head on her other shoulder.
