Being a dad means finding out how long the insurance company will allow your wife to stay in the hospital. And insisting she stay there and rest until the last possible minute.

Iruka missed teaching. Most of the other teachers longed for maternity/paternity leave as a break from grading papers and dealing with less than desirable children but Iruka wasn't one of them. Iruka loved teaching more than anything in the world. It wasn't that he didn't love Kakashi or his babies, it was just that Iruka took his responsibility as an educator for future generations very seriously.

Iruka was packing his things back into the hospital bag. Earlier that morning, his nurse swung by and told him he was all set to go home.

Kakashi came in holding a mug of tea. "What are you doing?"

"I'm packing my things."

Kakashi sipped his mug and looked at Iruka. "You're staying at the hospital for another two days."

Iruka stopped packing his things. "I've already stayed three days."

"I know! The insurance company covers two more days."

"I was only suppose to stay for two days. I can't miss anymore of work. What are the kids going to do without me?"

"Have a substitute?"

"And now I know who's in charge of homework duty."
