It had been a few weeks since Hinata's confession, now the couple were in desperate need of someone knowledgeable of medical science. Someone like Haruno Sakura. Who was at the time sorting papers for the Hokage's assistant. This made her the Hokage's assistant…assistant. When Naruto and Hinata walked into her office, she jumped and ran over to greet them. Glad to be freed from her paperwork.

"Hinata-chan! Naruto, how have you been?"

Hinata giggled at the girl's excitement, they really hadn't had much time to talk to anyone lately. Naruto answered for her.

"We've been good, is it possible for us to talk in private?"

Sakura thought about where they could discuss whatever it is they wanted to talk about. A light bulb went off in her head.

"Yep, follow me."

She dragged the couple down the hallway as they walked into the Hokage's office. Checking the seals on the walls she beckoned them to sit down.

"Now talk…"

Hinata who had been observing the conversation finally interjected.

"Well you see, Sakura-san. Naruto and I have a problem."

Sakura rolled her eyes and rolled her hand in anxiousness.

"Well you see we Ummm…We need….hmmm."

Hinata finally gave up as she looked up at Naruto who squeezed her hand.

Looking Sakura dead in the eye he spoke.

"Hinata is pregnant."

Sakura suddenly went into "girl mode" as Naruto liked to call it. Without taking much consideration in the situation she hugged Hinata and started to rant on about baby showers and what gender the baby would be, and its hair….and its eyes…She stopped after a few minutes and became semi-serious.

"So you two, would you like to see your baby?"

Naruto looked down and saw that Hinata was smiling. Heh your baby, as true as it was it was very weird to hear someone say it.

"But isn't it a little too early to be doing that Sakura-san?" Piped Hinata.

Sakura just stood up and pulled many medical tools from god knows where. She seized Hinata and about 7 seconds later she was pushed into Naruto's lab where she sat herself.

"No. Judging by the dilation of your eyes and the swelling of your tongue I'd say you're about two and a half months along, we usually do it at around 5 or 6 months however…"

Sakura began to make seals.

"I've invented a jutsu to make the process easier and do it earlier…"

When she was done picked Hinata back up and set her palm to her stomach…Naruto was confused. Where was all the equipment and good and shit? His questions were answered as a picture appeared in his mind. Looking up at Sakura, who nodded, he closed his eyes and focused on the picture.

Hinata knew it when she saw the baby…It was very small and curled into a ball it seems. When Sakura magnified the picture, she was pleased to see some of the baby's features.

"Let's see do you want to know what gender it is?" Sakura asked.

"No thank you, we want it to be a surprise." Stated Hinata.

"Ok, well it seems to have…Hinata's hair…and Hinata's nose and…one of Hinata's eyes? Odd."

Naruto stiffened.

"That's weird I've never seen an eye formation like this before, it's so organized and patterned! I have to document this!"

Sakura reached for a pen but was stopped by Naruto.

"That will be enough Sakura."

Sakura who didn't really get the gist behind what he was implying nudged him aside and grabbed for a note book. Naruto quite angry that he was pushed aside so rudely leaked enough Killer intent to stop the girl dead in her tracks.

"I said that will be enough…"

Sakura who was having trouble breathing only nodded as Naruto lessened the pressure. Composing herself she spoke.

"W-well the baby looks healthy, Hinata I'm going to submit an anonymous relief form for you so you don't have to do many missions. However…"

Hinata continued for her, already knowing the problem.

"However…anyone within the Hyuuga clan will be able to spot the baby within a few days…"

Sakura nodded.

"Well might as well get this over with, right Hinata?" asked Naruto. Who was just as nervous as she was.

"Yes…"

Grabbing her hand and entwining her fingers with his, he waved at sakura.

"Thanks Sakura-chan, you're the best…"

Smiling Sakura responded with a curt "I know." As the couple poofed away. As soon as they were a safe distance away she began to draw in her notebook. When she was finished she ended up with what looked like a gigantic spiral. She was quite happy with her work as she set it down. Walking out of the Hokage's office the image of what she saw nagged at the back of her head. It was a perfect drawing aside from the fact that…

"You can't draw movement…" She realized.

She closed her eyes and focused on what she had seen. A bluish-grey spiral with a gold outline around the retina. Turning at a hauntingly slow pace.

When the couple arrived at Naruto's apartment they lay on the couch. Naruto would never admit it but after getting past the 15 part and the Hyuuga clan. He was quite happy to be having this baby…Exhausted from the day's activities he fell back in his bed and closed his eyes. He wasn't surprised when he felt a weight on his chest. He frowned. Hinata hadn't said anything…which meant…

The blonde quickly closed his left eye as the headband was lifted up. He frowned at the curious girl in his arms and embraced her as he tried to drift of to sleep, not very anxious for tonight's activities.

"Show me."

Naruto only nuzzled her on top of her hair as he responded.

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not!"

"No…"

Giving up Hinata huffed as she wrapper her petite arms around his neck as Naruto drifted off to sleep, or so it seemed as Hinata attempted to remove the Headband that veiled his eye only to have a her wrist grabbed and a stern "NO!" delivered to her ears.

When they arrived at the Hyuuga mansion, the sun was starting to set. Stepping through the gates they headed toward Hyuuga Hiashi's office where he was busy with assorted paperwork. When they opened the door he greeted them as he rose from his desk.

"Ah Hinata-chan and young Naruto-san, how may I be of assistance?"

Hinata's eyes stayed glued to the ground as she let Naruto do the talking.

"Just a moment of your time sir, it's a rather important issue."

Hiashi gestured to the seats around a small coffee table as he had some tea brought in. After a few sips of tea Naruto began.

Is it better to rip it off like a band-aid or ease him into it…?

Defiantly band-aid.

Naruto coughed as he prepared himself for the physical and verbal torment of the head of the Hyuuga house.

"Sir, Hinata is pregnant and…I-….I'm the father…"

Nodding Hiashi drank some of his tea.

"I'm well aware…now is there more? Or may I continue my paperwork."

Dumbfounded Naruto looked over at his female companion who could offer no explanation to her father's actions.

"Uh…sir…have you forgotten that I am the jinchuuruki for the Kyuubi, who assaulted our village 16 years ago?"

Hiashi chuckled as he continued.

"There is nothing I may do at this point which would be moral or under clan law, however…"

Hiashi stiffened and his glare increased at the couple.

"You will suffer; the villagers are not as…forgiving…as I am. Your pregnancy will be a hard one due to your age; you may have already noticed many of the clan has already alienated you as I have informed many of your…status. Do not expect help from the clan unless you are willing to give up the child and this young man before me."

Hinata who had expected as much shook her head as they rose to leave. Bowing to the Hyuuga clan head who bowed in return. When they arrived at Naruto's apartment an ANBU was waiting for him.

"I'll meet you inside when I'm finished here ok?"

Hinata agreed and we find herself in Naruto's living room.

Father is…very disappointed in me… I was supposed to be the clan head and not only am I not…pure blush…but I'm carrying Naruto-kuns child…

She had never really thought much about the child that she had conceived. Pregnancies around her age were not uncommon in Konoha, but due to the Kyuubi situation she feared that her father would be right. Word would get out that it was Naruto's and she would face prejudice from something she couldn't even control. But wasn't that what Naruto faced everyday? Nodding to herself, she decided that she would have to be strong for herself, Naruto-kun and baby...

"Uh Hinata-chan…"

Naruto's voice broke her from her thoughts as he began to speak.

"That ANBU was here to deliver a mission request and it's uh… a bit of a long one…How long do you think you'll be ok alone here?"

"I should be fine until you return; I'm still a ninja y'know…"

Naruto frowned when she said this.

"Speaking of which, Kakashi-sensei thinks it best for you to be removed from duty soon. But I figured that baa-chan would help you out with some medical ninjutsu so that when you go back to your team, you can uh…"

And here ladies and gentlemen is where Naruto first fucks up.

Hinata began to tear up as she misconstrued Naruto's message.

"So I can WHAT! Be worth something!?"

Naruto flinched, as he justified the anger and sadness to the pregnancy. Smiling he waved it off and continued.

This is where Naruto fucks up for the second time.

"Eh, that's just the mood swings talking, you don't mean that."

Hinata turning red, stormed into the bathroom where she promptly locked the door and refused to listen to reason for the rest of the night.

Sighing Naruto resigned to the bottom of the bathroom door as he attempted to persuade Hinata out of her pregnancy driven sadness.

It was going to be a long 7 months.
