Chapter 5

It's been 5 months since I found out I was pregnant. Trust me when I say that it has not been fun. Getting up at ridiculous hours in the morning and then spewing up everything I've eaten down the toilet. I couldn't even look at food without feeling queasy.

Now, though, everything is back to normal . . . Well, almost everything. Naruto won't stop acting all cooey over my stomach. At home, I can tolerate him but outside? It's just plain embarrassing!

I look at myself in the bedroom mirror. A curve in my abdomen has started to appear in my 3rd month. I caress the bump gently and I smile a little.

"My baby," I whisper as I look down at my stomach.

I turn back to the mirror and I see Naruto standing there, a proud expression in his face.

"Looking good, mummy" he says, looking me up and down,

"Would you stop calling me that?" I ask as I look at my stomach in the mirror,

"Why? You liked it a few months ago" he stated,

"That was then, this is now" I reply. He walks over to me and he wraps his arms around my belly. We held eye contact in the mirror. I could see some combinations for our baby.

Naruto's hair and my obsidian eyes, My hair and his big sapphire eyes, Naruto's looks and my personality. The last thought made me chuckle.

"What's so funny" he smiled,

"Just thinking of what our baby might look like," his eyes told me to continue, "If it looks like you, people will probably think that it'll act like you and I just think it'll be funny when the kid goes 'Hn' in response"

Naruto let out a little laugh at the thought.

"Coming back to the whole 'mummy' subject, what do you want to be called?" He asked curiously,

"Hmm . . . Daddy? Dada? No that's too babyish . . ." I stood there pondering for a second,

"How about I'll be called Papa and you be called Daddy?" He suggested,

"Yeah . . . Yeah, I like that" I reply with a smile. I rarely smile so it doesn't surprise me when Naruto stares at me.

"You're really glowing, you know that?" He states as he chuckles, "Come on, Tsunade-Baachan is waiting for us. We get to find out the gender today!"

We left the house in a rush because Naruto was getting impatient.

I get that he's excited but he really doesn't need to dance down the streets like a looney . . .

-BREAK-BREAK-

I sat patiently on the hospital bed with Naruto fidgeting in his seat.

"Will you calm down?" I growl,

"How are you so calm?" He asks, as if he's doubting that I'm excited about this baby.

I was about to respond when Tsunade entered the room. She turned on the ultrasound and began to set everything up.

The suspense was killing us . . . Naruto more than I.

"Come on, Old Hag!" Naruto practically yelled down my ear, "Scan the bump already! I wanna know what we're having!"

I lightly hit him on the arm but Naruto reacts as if I sawed it off. I rolled my eyes at his exaggerated "Ow" and I lifted my shirt up to my chest when Tsunade sat next to me.

The gel on my belly gave me shivers, it was like ice against my cool skin.

The all-familiar heartbeat surrounded the room. I always freeze on the spot when I hear it. The sound brings comforts to me because I know that the baby is okay.

I always look at Naruto's reaction and everytime, he has the same face.

Caring and full of affection.

Tsunade moves the control around my abdomen and looks hard into the ultrasound. We see a smile begin to appear on her face.

"Everything is perfectly fine," she explained.

Me and Naruto sat there waiting for her to continue.

"What?" She asks innocently, "You wanna know the sex?"

"No! We came here to Ton-Ton" Naruto replied sarcastically,

"Oh, well if that's the case . . ." She said, preparing to shout Shizune,

"Is it a boy or girl?!" I shout, surprised at my own outburst.

Naruto and Tsunade stared at me in shock,

"Now who's the composed one?" Naruto smirked.

"Okay," Tsunade said, "You're going to have . . ."

We both stared at her, Naruto was practically kneeling on the floor from excitement. The idiot couldn't keep his ass on the chair.

"A . . ." She continued, clearly enjoying the dramatic tension she was causing.

"Oh, for God sake!" We both exclaimed, "What is it?!"

"If you're going to talk to me like that then I'm not going to tell you" she stated as a matter-of-factly.

We both apologized and Tsunade pulled her sadistic smile.

"It's a girl" and with that, she walked out.

I sat there, taking in the information.

It's a girl. We're having a daughter.

I started tearing up at thought. My own little girl.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Naruto cuddling my belly until I heard him whisper with a voice full of love, "Papa's little princess"
