A/N I don't own Naruto but If I did then NaruSaku would be canon. Anyway this is Naruko's son's propsal to his girlfriend. I thought I would make it a Christmas one-shot. That's something I think what he would do. I'll write their wedding another time but for now I am writing two Christmas one-shots. Maybe three if I think of another. Until then enjoy.


Naruko was looking at herself in the mirror finished tying up her hair around a ponytail holder. She finished putting on her makeup and put her red sleeved satin Christmas dress on. She put her hands on hips and swayed it before laughing.

"Wow... I am 41 years old and I still look like I'm 25. I remember being worried that I would look older than Skeletor... Or Rick Pitino when he was at Louisville. " She shuddered at the thought of that. She puts her hairbrush in her drawer before turning off her light then she looked at the clock.

"4:30. It's almost an hour and a half before the party starts. The turkey is ready and Sakuro is picking up his parents with the kids. Time to relax before the party comes. She then looked at the picture of her son and first husband Kiba when he was 5 years old. She felt emotional that her son is growing up and though she loves her current husband, she still wishes that Kiba was alive to see him grow up. Right now, he is a junior who redshirted his sophmore year, playing for the University of Kentucky basketball team and he feels this is the year that he wins a championship there. A couple years ago, Naruko met his girlfriend Naomi Turner.

'He is like his father. He is so love struck that I have a feeling he is gonna pop the question.' She gigged before hearing the door ring. She walked to the door and open it to see that the first guest arriving is her son Sora and his girlfriend Naomi.

"Hi, Mom. Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas Sweetheart." She said before she kissed his cheek making him blush in embarrassment. Naomi laughed while holding the presents.

"Hi, Naruko. Merry Christmas to you." She greeted. Naruko appreciated being called by her first name by her son's girlfriend rather than being called Mrs. Haruno because she has a feeling that they are getting serious.

"Same to you, Sweetie. Put the presents right under the tree." She told her. She nodded then put them under the tree with her boyfriend's help. After that, Naomi sat on the couch watching a Lifetime Christmas movie which made Sora rolled his eyes.

"No Donnie. She loves you. She doesn't care that you are Santa's elf." Naruko cried while holding a tissue. Naomi caved in as well.

"Don't worry, Naruko. Donnie will figure it out that Sandy will fall in love with him."

'Why does anybody watch them? They're not any good and the acting and story lines are terrible. Not to mention they always get back together. Why aren't we watching a good Christmas movie like Elf or Christmas Vacation?' He then looked at his mother who was just as invested as his girlfriend.

"Mom, Can I see you in the kitchen please? I wanna tell you something."

"Sure, since we're on a commercial break." Naruko said she followed her son to her kitchen.

"What is it, honey?" He closed the door shut tight. Then he turned to his mother. He gave her a nervous look.

"Mom, you love Naomi right?"

"Of Course I love her." Naruko answered, offended by that question. She loved the girl ever since she met her two Christmases ago. She loves that Naomi is kind caring and beautiful person. If she had to choose a wife for her son, Naomi would be it.

"Then you wouldn't mind if I give her this as a Christmas gift?" He asked as he pulled a little black box of his pocket. Naruko gasped. She knows what he is about do.

"You're gonna ask her to marry you?"

"Yes." He replied. "You don't mind because I know I'm not a senior yet but I am considering going to the NBA and I feel like I'm ready to have her on my side no matter what and... well I love her." Naruko teared up and gave her son a hug.

"I'm so proud of you, honey. You don't know how long I've been dreading this day yet excited at the same time." She cried while whispering. As a woman she knows how important a secret this was.

"You mean you don't mind?"

"Mind?" Naruko asked, a little offended by that question. "Of course not. You're not only grown up but you and Naomi have the time and place to get married. By the way, did you ask her father's permission?" He nodded his head.

"Good, that's what your father did after the Duke game in 1998. He asked your grandfather before we drove to San Antonio. He said if Kentucky makes it to the championship game, he plans to propose to me at halftime. If not then wait for about a week which is why that was my favorite UK basketball memory." She sighed while putting her heart in her hand while sniffing. "He would have been so proud of you, Sora." Sora sadly smiled then gave the ring a closer look. It was a golden ring that was 14K. It also had writing on it. It said "My love for you is stronger then the Hulk's strength."

"Hey... that's my old engagement ring your father gave me." She exclaimed.

"Yeah, you gave this to me when I was 17. You told me if I ever plan to get married, you told me to give this ring to the girl of my dreams. Well I wanna give it to Naomi and the wedding ring, Dad gave you." Naruko was in tears then hugged Sora again.

"I know, Mom." Naruko smiled then gave her son another hug but this time, Sora hugged back.

Later that day, it was time for the Christmas party. Sakuro showed up with twins, wearing a blue suit, white shirt and blue tie. Shinachiku is wearing a green Christmas sweater and brown khakis while Hanami, much to her demise is wearing a red Christmas dress while her pink hair was tied to a bow. They were eating at the kids table in the living room watching the Spongebob Christmas special. with the group's other kids. Including their cousin Naruto who is the son of Naruko's brother Menma. Satsuki and Kain brought their 8 year old son Daisuke. Ino and Sai brought their kids as well as TenTen her husband Rock Lee. The adults including Sora and Naomi were sitting at the big dining room table. Sakuro carved the turkey and ham then served all the guests their food. Sora looked the clock and it said 7:00. He sighed before he tapped his glassed cup with his fork calling for everyone's attention. The party guests looked up to him as he stood up.

"Sorry for the bother, guys but I have an announcement to make... and it involves Naomi." Naomi was confused before Sora sat on his knee and his holing a ring box.

"Naomi. Ever since that day you fell into my arms, I have never been happier. I remember our first date was at the new Chick-Fil-A. It wasn't exactly romantic. Especially me choking on that chicken sandwich." Everyone laugh at that. "But I also never been happier. Ever since I told you that I love you, I never wanted to be apart from you ever again. So I wanna ask you a very important question... will you marry me?" Naomi stood in silence. She puts her hands on her mouth as tears came falling from her eyes. Then she gave him the answer he was hoping to hear.

"YES!" That was good enough for him as he crashed her lips into hers. They were ignoring the cheer while they were kissing. After the kiss, Sora slid her engagement ring in her finger. Suddenly Naomi felt someone tugs into her legs. She looked down to see her future sister-in law Hanami.

"Are you gonna be my new sister, Naomi?" She asked innocently. Naomi laughed then picked up the little girl and giving her a hug.

"Yes I am, Hanami. Yes I am." Naruko looked from her table with tears in eyes. She can't believe it. Her baby boy is getting married. It felt like yesterday to her that he had his first Christmas. She felt her husband Sakuro wrapping her shoulder. She looked at him with a smile and kissed his cheek, making his face turn red. She then looked at her son and his fiance leaving the room. She follows them to the living to see them play the Nintendo switch. She sighed at the sight she saw.

"Sora, you will make a wonderful husband like your father and stepfather. And not only that but you and Naomi will be wonderful parents to your kids someday.


And that's the first Christmas oneshot of the year. Don't worry. There will be another one. One will be original and the other will be based off of a Christmas song like "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus." Until then enjoy and have a merry Christmas.
