The fire crackled quietly as she lay in his arms. Her green eyes turned upward toward his blue. They were so full of life, so full of love and understanding. She reached up, and pulled him down into a gentle kiss.
"Aishiteru, Naruto-Kun."
He smiles back down to her, his hand, rough and calloused from handling a kunai so often runs over the smooth skin of her face, and he returns the warmth of the kiss.
"Aishiteru, Sakura-chan."
She watched as the fire danced before them. It's warmth driving away the cold of being soaked with snowballs, and the chill that ran down her spine at the Ramen Stand. She looks up to him, and smiles again.
It was time now, she took his hand and gently set it on her stomach, and smiled.
He looked down to her, and it took only a moment, his small smile, slowly growing into a full blown grin.
"Sakura-chan?"
"Hai, Naruto-Kun."
She thought he would leap up, he would dance on the ceiling and maybe even shout it from the rooftops, but he did no such thing. What he did, seemed even more poignant, at least to her. He leaned over, and kissed her stomach softly.
"I can't wait Sakura-chan, I'll be best Father ever! That's a promise...of a lifetime.."
She smiled, and leaned into him. Their Child. Their Baby. Their own little Christmas Miracle.
