Short chapter, people! I hope you all like it!
But those few months flew by in a flash, when they lost their daughter at a month old due to an unexplained infection in her small body. Temari nearly fell into a coma from the shock of losing her firstborn, but seeing Ryo in an equal amount of shock kept her awake and sound. She had to slap him into acting normal (literally) and when their first anniversary came, she thought she was ready to try again, but didn't want to leave it up to chance that their second child would be a boy, even though Sakura had.
She went straight to Tsunade and asked for her help in the matter, because she couldn't bear to see Ryo get married again, and even again, after that, if she didn't break the cycle and have a boy. The brown-eyed Hokage knew that he was getting more and more anxious, each girl that was born. He loved every one of his girls, but he thought his luck was running out and a boy would be impossible for him to produce through any wife, let alone the ones he had.
So a date was set for both of them to come see her to try the unnatural way.
After that, it was a few weeks of nervous waiting until a desired result came. If not, Ryo would go nuts.
To get it off his mind, he was sent on a mission to stop being a worry-wart. Ino actually joked that he was getting gray hair from all the stress, even though it wasn't true. Karin pointed out that he might go bald from pulling his hair out than it going gray first.
They were surprised that he had a full inch of white hair from the roots, when he came back five months later, although his face was still the picture of youth, at nineteen.
"Ryo! Was it that bad being away from us for so long?" Ino asked, hugging her husband as he held her back, squeezing her tight.
"You look awful with those contrasting colors in your hair!" Karin cried, plucking at a chunk of his bangs.
He snorted a laugh and supplied, "This isn't stress-white, you two. I got a strange technique put on me and it turned my hair completely white, which actually didn't look as bad as I thought it would, but I knew it would scare you all. This is the remaining bits of white that haven't vanished yet. I think it'll disappear within a few days. So, where's Temari?"
His eyes were covered and he snickered as Temari whispered, "Guess who?"
He spun around and his eyes widened when he found her not only beaming with joy, but a paper pinned to her round stomach, claiming, "It's a boy!"
An ecstatic laugh escaped him as he hugged her, before lifting her and twirling her around. He didn't say anything, he just placed his hands on the bump and his hands glowed as he probed inside of her. He felt the life growing inside and closed his eyes, blissful.
He felt hands on his shoulders as his fourth wife asked, "What're we going to call him, Ryo?"
His eyes opened and he stated, "Itachi, in honor of his uncle."
This sounds like a good way to end it, right? Nah, there's still some things to wrap up in the next chapter!
