"That's what I said," Neji laughed as Sakura started to stir.

"Sakura? Sakura?" Neji called as he lifted one of her hands and leaned over her body.

"…N...Neji?" she whispered as her eyes remained closed.

"Sakura," Kakashi whispered as he held the baby.

"…Neji," Sakura whispered as Yamato and Naruto rushed to the head of the bed.

"Sakura chan! Wake up, open your eyes!" Naruto called as he held the side of her face.

"Come on Sakura," Sai whispered as he grabbed her other hand.

"Sakura," Neji whispered, "Your son wants to see you."

"Neji…" Sakura continued to whisper as her eyes fluttered.

"Come on Sakura, just open your eyes," Naruto said as Kakashi held her son.

Slowly Sakura's eyes opened as Naruto jumped on top of her.

"Oh Sakura chan! Are you okay! Are you okay!" He yelled as he put his arms around her neck and hugged her.

Sai and Yamato fell over as Naruto kicked his legs in glee.

"Oi Dickless wonder, what the hell are you doing?!" Sai yelled as he rubbed his head where he'd been kicked.

"Get off of her Naruto!" Yamato shouted, trying to pull the hyperactive ninja off of his teamate.

"…Naruto," Sakura whispered as she looked over to Neji, "Neji?"

"Sakura," Neji Sakura smiled as he pushed Naruto off of Sakura's bed, smirking as the blond ninja fell to the ground.

Neji smiled down at her tired eyes as she looked back up into his bright white ones. He softly touched her cheek as she smiled up at him, "Hi Neji," she laughed softly.

"Sakura," Kakashi smiled behind his mask, "Do you want to see your son?"

Sakura looked startled as she whipped her head around to face Kakashi. He held a small whimpering bundle in his arms, startled by all of the commotion.

"…Son?" Sakura rasped as she looked back at Neji.

"He's beautiful, Sakura," Neji whispered as Kakashi nodded and walked towards her.

"Do you want to hold him?" Kakashi asked as he pushed the baby towards her.

Sakura stared at the baby's dark hair as she outstretched her arms. Her arms trembled as Kakashi set the crying baby in them.

"Neji," Sakura whispered, slightly panicked as her hands trembled with the new weight placed in them.

Neji smiled as he sat next to her on the bed and helped her hold her son.

The baby opened and closed his eyes, as if he was making sure that it was his mother and father holding him before he decided to settle down.

Naruto stood up next to Sai as the artist reached into his back pouch and pulled out his drawing pens and sketchbook. He shifted his weight onto his right left leg as he began to draw furiously.

Naruto smiled wildly as the child let out a small yawn. Kakashi and Yamato laughed as Neji laid his head against Sakura's on the pillow.

"He's so tiny," Sakura whispered, lying back against Neji.

"That seems to be the consensus around here," Yamato laughed.

"Sakura?" Sai queried, looking up from his sketchpad, "Have you thought of a name yet?"

Sakura shook her head as she reached her hand out and touched Neji's arm. Neji smiled as he kissed the side of her forehead.

"Your son needs a name, Sakura," Kakashi smiled.

"I know," Sakura sighed happily as she turned to Neji, "I want you to name him."

"Wha- me?" Neji asked, "Sakura, he's your-"

"No," Sakura laughed lightly, "He's our son."

"But…I don't… I don't know," Neji stared down at the small boy, his eyes closed as he quietly slept.

"I want you to name him Neji," Sakura repeated as she laid her head back.

Neji stopped arguing with her as she closed her eyes, waiting for him to say something.

"Hey!" Naruto piped in, "You could name him after a really famous ninja! Someone's who really strong and powerful, someone like m-"

"You're right," Sai smirked, "Hey Neji, what was your father's name?"

"Yeah, I'll let you use my, hey wait a minute! Sai!" Naruto screeched as he lunged at the artist who snickered and backed away.

Neji shook his head. He looked down at the little baby and frowned.

'How can picking a name be this hard?' Neji wondered as Kakashi sighed and grabbed Naruto by the collar.

The name had to suit the child and it had to sound good. Neji racked his brain, he never figured Sakura would leave the name up to him, he just assumed she'd do it.

"I…I did like the name…Ryuzo," Neji replied sheepishly.

"Ryuzo…" Sakura slowly opened her eyes, looking down at the baby, "Ryuzo…" she repeated.

"If you don't-"

"I like it," Sakura cut Neji off as she turned her head towards his.

Neji smiled back and gave her a small kiss, feeling a tear run down her face; he brushed it away and laid his forehead against hers.

"So what's his name?" Yamato asked.

"Ryuzo," Sakura replied.

All of her teamates nodded as Sakura slowly rocked her newborn baby.


"Sakura," Neji started as he pulled out the small box from his pocket.

"Hmmm?" Sakura looked over as he fully turned towards her and the baby.

Naruto started to laugh as Neji opened the box and Sai and Kakashi elbowed him in the gut to shut up.

"Don't ruin it," Yamato whispered menacingly.

"Sakura, I want to take care of you," Neji whispered, "both of you," he smiled as he gently stroked the little boy's head.

"Neji…" Sakura whispered as Neji took out the ring from its box.

"Sakura, will you marry me?" Neji breathed, hoping she wouldn't say no.

Sakura smiled and nodded, "yes, Neji," she replied as Naruto started laughing and Sai and Kakashi elbowed him again.

Neji quietly slid the ring on her finger and kissed her. He let out a relieved sigh as he bent down and kissed Ryuzo's head.

"I love you Sakura," Neji smiled as he laid his against her.

"I love you too, Neji," Sakura smiled, "I always will."


"Finished," Sai announced as he stared at his sketchbook.

"What's that?" Yamato asked as he walked over behind Sai.

Sai turned to sketchbook to Yamato as Neji watched a bright smile pass over the Jonin's face.

"I want to see! I want to see!" Naruto chimed as he walked over and looked over Sai's shoulder.

Naruto laughed as Sai walked over to Sakura and Neji.

"I made it for you," he announced as he gave the sheet of paper to Neji.

Neji smiled as he showed the drawing to Sakura.

"Sai," Sakura whispered, "it's beautiful, thank you."

Sai beamed as the picture showed Neji and Sakura sitting on the hospital bed, holding their little baby boy. Sakura and Neji were both smiling down at the child as he slept with a small smile apparent on his face too.

The moment was ruined when Sakura's room door flew open.

"Naruto! Sai! Kakashi! Yamato! What the hell are you doing in here?!" Tsunade thundered as she stood in the doorway.

All of the shinobi stiffened as the Hokage glared at them.

"Aww, come one Tsunade, we needed to see them!" Naruto whined as Tsunade marched towards them.

"I guess she saw through the clones," Sai sighed as Kakashi and Yamato nodded.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?! Disturbing Sakura and sneaking in here, Naruto!" Tsunade yelled as Sakura and Neji started to laugh.

"Oi, what so…funny, Sakura?" Tsunade stopped yelling when she turned to look at Sakura lying against Neji, holding her baby boy.

"Don't mind them Tsunade sama," Neji started, "They didn't disturb her."

They all jumped when Ryuzo started to whimper and cry in his mother's arms. Sakura looked down at him and started to softly rock him, trying to make him stop.

She sighed as she looked up at Tsunade, sympathetically.

Tsunade sighed, "Well, anyway, you guys need to leave now."

"Aww, but, we want-"

"Out Uzamaki Naruto!" Tsunade roared.

"Okay, okay, we're going," Naruto stuttered as he backed away to the door, "See you later Sakura chan! I want to see my nephew later!"

"Your nephew?" Sai asked walking out of the door, "Who said he was your nephew? You'd be a terrible Uncle, besides, he likes me better."

"What! Sai you bastard!" Naruto yelled as Yamato smacked his forehead and Kakashi sighed.

"It's going to be a long day…." Kakashi groaned.

"Yeah," Yamato agreed.


"What's wrong?" Neji asked as the child kept on crying, "Is something wrong? Is he sick?"

Tsunade and Sakura laughed, "No, I think he's hungry," Tsunade continued to laugh at Neji's panicked face.

Neji nodded, as a small blush crossed his cheeks.

"Um, you can leave Neji, if you want," Sakura whispered as she struggled to sit up.

"Hn," Neji smirked, "Why? It's nothing I haven't seen before."

"Neji!" Tsunade bellowed as Sakura laughed.

"It's alright," Sakura giggled, "I don't mind."

Neji watched is fascination as Sakura started to nurse the little boy; he'd never seen something like that before.

He marvelled at how Sakura just adjusted her shoulders in order to further comfort the baby.

"Where is she?!" a voice screeched behind the door. Neji's eyes widened as the door flew open and he scrambled to cover Sakura and the baby up.

"Ino!" Tsunade shouted, "What the hell's wrong with you!" she barked as Ino dragged Shikamaru and Choji through the door.

"I was supposed to see her before they did!" Ino complained as Sakura stared at her friend.

"Um…could you come back…at another time?" Neji groaned, trying his best to hide Sakura from Ino and her teamates with his arms.

"Oh please," Ino waved her hand, "It doesn't bother me."

"It bothers me," Sakura mumbled as she sagged against the pillow.

"Troublesome woman dragged us all in here," Shikamaru groaned.

The baby started to cry as Sakura sighed and lifted him up. Neji quickly pulled her hospital gown to cover her chest as Sakura smiled.

"You can leave now Tsunade sama," Neji started, "I'm sure Naruto is creating some sort of trouble outside."

Tsunade laughed, "Yeah, I bet you're right."

Tsunade continued to chuckle as she turned and left.

The child's whimpers grew quiet as he settled into his mother's arms.

"Oh Sakura, he's so cute!" Ino cooed, inching closer to the bed.

"Thank you," Sakura smiled.

"Can I hold him?"

Sakura nodded as she slowly released her hold on the boy into Ino's arms.

"So, what's the little guy's name?" Choji asked as he munched on some chips and wiped his hands on his pants.

"Ryuzo," Sakura smiled, "Hyuuga Ryuzo," she finished.

Neji looked over to Sakura with shock. She just gave the baby his last name; she said the baby was his.

'My son, he's my son,' Neji thought as he kissed the side of Sakura's face.

He knew that Sakura loved him, which was all that mattered. He knew that she wouldn't leave him for Sasuke.

She loved him and he loved her.

Shikamaru smirked at Neji and brushed his hand over Ryuzo's head.

"So this is the little tyke, eh?" Shikamaru laughed, "All that worry over this little one?" he mused.

Neji laughed with him. Yeah, all the fuss was over that little boy. That little boy who knew nothing of what was going on, that little boy who didn't know the circumstances of his birth and that little boy who didn't even know who is real father was.

Neji sighed thinking about Sasuke, he'd for sure never give up on seeing his own son, and it was just a matter of time before Sakura would let him.

As if on cue, Neji saw Sasuke standing in the doorway.
