Redemption.
Chapter Fifteen – Daddy.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kushina and Itachi were both sat in the hospital room still with Kimi. The baby was fast asleep and Itachi couldn't help but feel bonded to this small child. That was when Saiyuri and Nawaki walked into the room. Both Kushina and Itachi stared at their other two teammates. "Don't worry so much. Naruto-San told us what had happened." Nawaki replied to the unanswered question in both teen's faces. "I thought you had to do certain things to get a baby. I mean aren't there any obligations to fulfil anymore?" Saiyuri stated cheekily. Both Itachi and Kushina gave their silver-haired friend a firm glare. She just grinned and ran over to hug Kushina and then Itachi. Their team was back together again.

Kushina had recovered from her time in isolation and giving birth. At least she had mostly. She could walk around without too many problems, but sometimes she still felt tired or weak if she was walking around for too long. She was happy to look after her child. She had a bassinet in her room where Kimi slept. Itachi was a constant source of support. So were Kushina's family, and her friends. In fact Kimi was a healthy happy baby.
It was on a day such as this that Itachi was feeding Kimi with a bottle of baby formula and Kushina was lazing around on a sofa, just watching everything that was going on. Itachi stopped feeding Kimi and placed the child on his shoulder and started rubbing her back. Sakura had taught them both how to burp a baby. "Hey that's Daddy's girl!" Itachi exclaimed when a loud burp came from the tiny infant. Then he stopped in his tracks and looked at Kushina. It was like he was shocked at what he had said. "Don't look at me Itachi-kun. You are her dad. Well she technically has two fathers but no way am I ever gonna tell her about that snake bastard. So you are her Daddy. There's nothing wrong with saying it." Kushina said kindly. Itachi grinned. "It just seems so weird." Itachi replied. Neither of them said another word as both knew what Itachi meant.

Sasuke was sat with Naruto in the garden. "It's weird to be a grandfather isn't it." Naruto said cheerfully. Sasuke shrugged. "I thought I'd be a little older before I had any grandkids." Sasuke stated. "Well so did I Teme. But we're Shinobi. We're supposed to expect the unexpected. Although I gotta admit that this one was a real doozey to get over." Naruto replied. Both men smirked at each other without say another word.

That evening, Naruto saw Kushina sitting on the old tree swing in the garden with Kimi in her arms. He opened the door gently and heard Kimi talking to the baby.
"You know Kimi. I grew up in this house and so will you. When you're older I'll teach you all the things that I was taught. So will your daddy and your grandfathers. They'll both want to teach you so much. I'll always be here for you Kimi. You won't end up like me. You'll always be safe..." Kushina trailed off. Naruto smiled as he sat down next to Kushina on the grass. She looked at her father and gave him a smile. "Hi Daddy." She said happily. "What are you doing out here?" Naruto asked. "Kimi woke up and she likes it out here. At least I think she does. She always goes to sleep if I sit out here with her for a while." Kushina replied. Naruto grinned. "She's like you then. When you were a tiny baby, your mother and I used to sit outside with you and you'd fall asleep in her arms." Naruto explained. Kushina nodded. "Do you think that she'd be happy with who I am now?" Kushina asked quietly. Naruto nodded. "Your mother would be very proud of you Kushina. You're a strong Kunoichi and nothing will change that." Naruto replied.
Kushina stood up from the tree swing and Naruto stood up also. "You know Dad. You're always going to be my Daddy. I don't think I could've asked for a better one." Kushina said softly. Naruto tousled Kushina's hair gently. "And you'll always be my carrot top no matter how old you get. I won't be calling you it all the time though." Naruto replied. The pair walked inside not speaking anymore, but both happy they had spoken to each other.
