Chapter XI
Labor Pains
Naruto had just returned home at midnight from a mission when she first felt it. Hinata had gotten up to use the bathroom and was startled when she felt a massive hit inside her stomach. She was about to think nothing of it when she realized that her water broke. She got off the toilet and ran into her room. "Naruto-kun, it's time." Naruto having heard her voice woke up slightly. He snapped fully awake when he heard what he heard. "Let's get you to the hospital right now!" Naruto scooped her up in his arms and made a b-line for the hospital. Along the way, her labor pains grew more intense. She started moaning a little out of the pain she was feeling.
By the time they reached the hospital she was already in a lot of pain. The receptionist looked at Naruto and Hinata confused. "PREGNANT WOMAN IS IN LABOR!" The receptionist quickly called for a stretcher and Hinata was placed on it. She was then rolled back to a room where her screams were heard. Naruto was outside the door to her room and he could hear her. Hiashi, Hanabi, and Neji all turned up upon hearing the news from a shadow clone, Kushina was on her way. From the other side of the door Hinata screamed out "NARUTO-KUN I SAEAR I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR LEGS FOR THIS!!!" Naruto blanched at hearing this. Hiashi merely smirked. "Don't worry, women often do that when they're in labor. Their emotions are out of alignment. Don't think anything of it." After what seemed hours, Sakura poked her head out and looked at the group. "Naruto you can come in now." Naruto got up hesitantly and walked into the room. There was his wife laying in her bed looking like she had deflated. Her smile and tears were enough for him to know that she was happy. But then he saw the bundles that were in her arms. Naruto hesitantly walked over and saw two little boys and one little girl. Al three had two whisker marks on their tiny cheeks. One looked like an exact copy of his father. The girl looked like an exact copy of her mother. The middle child looked like he was somewhere in between his father and mother due to his hair being a blonde color with small patches of blue mixed in.
Naruto just stared at his children. His eyes seemed to be locked in a position he couldn't move. "How are you doing Hinata?" "I'm fine, just tired, but I'm fine." The little girl's eyes opened slightly and Naruto could tell she had blue eyes. "Our children, their beautiful..." Hinata smiled and giggled slightly. "Of course they are Naruto-kun." She pressed her lips gently against his. "Do you want to hold one?" Naruto shook his head hesitantly. "I-I might hurt one of them." "Naruto-kun you're not going to hurt them. Here" Hinata left the daughter up to Naruto's arms and he saw her tiny little body just sink into her father's arms. He was holding as Hinata instructed and he could see his daughter was definitely going to be a daddy's girl. The tiny mite of humanity that was his daughter opened her mouth to let loose a toothless grin. Naruto instantly knew what to name her. "Hinata, let's name the girl Himawari." Hinata liked that name. "Ok well I think we should name the oldest boy Boruto." Her hand rested on the one with the solid blonde hair. "Then what should we name our middle child?" Hinata smiled. "How about Asana. After the famous Uzumaki Clan head?" "I like it." Soon the door opened to reveal Hiashi, Kushina, Neji, and Hanabi. Their eyes grew wide and Hanabi wanted to hold one of them instantly. She got to hold Asana first. "He's so cute!" Hiashi said nothing but just had tears rolling down his cheeks. Here was his eldest daughter with three children already. Neji looked like he was going to punch Naruto for having children before he could. Kushina was looking like she was going to die of happiness. She took up Boruto in her arms and gently rubbed his tiny cheek much like she did her son.
After the visitors left, Naruto had the unruly job of trying to figure out how to put a diaper on a baby. This led to some frustration on his part, but he eventually figured it out, at least after 5000 tries. Hinata was finishing breastfeeding all three of them when she looked up at her husband. He was holding Asana and Himawari in his arms. Both seemed to be asleep and content in their father's arms. Boruto was asleep in her arms. She smiled looking at her oldest son and how he resembled the man she loved so much. "Hinata, thank you. Thank you for making me a father." Hinata smiled. "Thank you for making me a mother to these three, I have a feeling that they are going to be great Shinobi and even greater siblings." Naruto laughed gently. 'Not even a year with her and I'm already a father. Dad when I die I'm going to clobber you and hug you at the same time.'
