Five months later…
Hinata sat in front of her father bowing her head. Holding her five month pregnant stomach, she was scared. She had just told her father about her pregnancy. Naruto sat next to her holding her hand as she told Hiashi about the child developing in her womb.
Hiashi had been silent for nearly fifteen minutes soaking in the information that his daughter and her fiancé. At first he had been surprised but he had been expecting it to happen sometime in the coming year since the couple's wedding was in about two months. Furthermore, he had known that Naruto would want to have children and repopulate his Namikaze-Uzamaki clan. What Hiashi didn't expect was that his daughter would have given up her 'innocence' before marriage. He should have put it all together by now. His daughter had been spending too many a night with the Hokage. In fact that was the only reason he wasn't ecstatic by the news was that his daughter was apparently five months pregnant, just started showing and her wedding was in two months. She should have waited till after the wedding to have had such relations with Naruto.
The elders would have a fit once they found out. What type of leader was she if she couldn't keep her emotions in tact till her marriage? What type of leader goes against the Hyuuga culture? Just the fact that she wasn't marrying one of her relatives, preferably Neji, was enough to cause a commotion between them. What would happen once they found out she had conceived a child out of wedlock?
Pushing all of these thoughts aside Hiashi smiled and asked his daughter one question.
"Boy or girl?"
The first person to find out about the couple's pregnancy was of course Arune. Naruto had asked her to be the God mother of his child and she of course gladly accepted. If anything were to happen to him and Hinata, the responsibility of the child would go to Neji, the child's God-father, and Arune.
But the person most excited by this news was the newly four year old Shourai. Although he hadn't said a word about his excitement, his eyes spoke of the emotion he felt. When he wasn't on a mission or training he would be trailing Hinata and giving her every comfort. Shourai, alongside Konohamaru, would not let Hinata over exert herself at the office, where Naruto insisted she continue working so he could keep an eye on her, or even at home, in her garden or in the hospital.
The two would go to every extent to get Hinata what she wanted. In fact one day Hinata had such a strong craving for specific butterscotch hard candies made from her mother's great aunt that Shourai had to find the old senile lady and try to get her to make the candies for him. That would have been simple if Shourai could talk and the lady could hear but alas they both were handicapped and needed to use other methods of communication. Once again his perfect genjutsu came to use. But the old lady had an awful memory as well so she didn't remember the formula for her butterscotch candies. Shourai began to search her house for a written recipe, which he didn't find. After a while he decided to simply ask Sasuke-sensei if he could use his Sharingan to get the old lady to remember the recipe. It took Shourai a while to convince the lone Uchiha, but he sealed the deal with the promise of helping him look after Sakura whenever she became pregnant. Sasuke, fearing that he would have to deal with a hormonal Sakura by himself, agreed and instantly got the great aunt to remember the recipe. But by the time the recipe was retrieved, the candies made and cooled, Hinata had no longer desired for them.
The poor boy had returned exhausted to his house without getting to see Hinata's smile.
Arune lay in bed in Shourai's room, waiting for her son to come home. The entire five months of Hinata's pregnancy had created doubts in her. Arune couldn't remember a single day of her pregnancy. It was as if her entire pregnancy until the day she went into labor was erased. She clearly remembered going through intense pain for the 14 hours that she was in labor for. She clearly remembered pushing out her son. She even remembered when the nurse gave Shourai to her for the first time. But anything before that was a blur.
As Shourai jumped in from the window, he saw his mother waiting for him. Her fair arms swept under the side of her head and her body curled up on his bed. She looked so peaceful yet confused at the same time. Masking his chakra, he noticed that his mother was awake yet absent-mindedly rubbing her stomach. He hoped that she wasn't pregnant because then it would mean that Yasuo would be the father of her child. And having any blood relation with that man was sickening.
Shourai unmasked his chakra and entered his room fully. After changing his clothes and washing, he embraced his mother and fell asleep cradled in her arms away from the fear caused by Yasuo and from the insecurities of the world.
Time skip…
Half a year later as Hinata gives birth…
ALL CAPS ITALICS MEANS HINATA'S SCREAMING IN THE LABOR ROOM.
"Hokage-sama, please sit down, you've been pacing for about 3 hours," said one of the hospital's nurses.
"Dobe, sit down. You're going to create a crater in the floor. Hinata's just giving birth not fighting on the battlefield," said raven haired Uchiha sitting outwardly calm in front of the birthing room. But every time Hinata screamed, Sasuke would look at his exhausted girlfriend and cringe at the thought of her
screams if he ever got down to getting Sakura pregnant. In reality he was ecstatic about Naruto's kid. He would get to practice more about being a father before he and Sakura settled down in the near future.
Sakura and he planned on having at least five kids so that the Uchiha clan could grow rapidly but everyone of Hinata's scream seemed to lessen the dedication to the planned number.
(Nurse: push a little more Hinata: uhg) "NA..RU..TO I HATE YOU!"
A few seats away sat Neji with a pregnant Tenten in his arms. Both were looking at each other with concern. Tenten was having twins and if Hinata was having this much pain with one child then Neji's Tenten would be in more trouble.
Tenten looked up to Neji and whispered his name.
"Neji?"
(Hinata: I swear Naruto when I get out of here…ahhh)
The said man grabbed his wife's hand and squeezed it slightly before speaking.
"I'm sorry and don't worry. I don't intend on making you go through so much pain over and over again."
Tenten nodded in agreement and shivered in anticipation of the pain that she would have to face in three months time.
(Hinata: get this thing out of me!)
One hour later the nurse had called Naruto inside saying that the child was almost visible and that Hinata had requested for him to be there. Naruto, being the excitable person that he was, immediately jumped off of his seat, that Neji and Sasuke forced him into, and started dancing around declaring that he was going to help Hinata with giving birth. Apparently he didn't realize that he sounded really stupid while his newly wedded wife was screaming in pain.
Fifteen minutes afterwards two nurses dragged the overexcited hokage out of the room because he fainted. In his unconscious state he kept muttering about Hinata, 'that place' and babies.
(A/N: and this is where Kakashi would sulk in a corner because he forgot to tell Naruto where and how babies come…but sadly he isn't at the birth of his blonde pupil's first child's birth)
While Naruto was still unconscious, Hinata's screams had stopped and everyone looked expectedly at each other. Sakura had awaked by this time and started to bring some healing chakra to her fingertips to allow Naruto to regain consciousness.
A few minutes later the nurse had called in Naruto and led him to the recovery room where Hinata and his baby were.
Stepping into the room, Naruto caught sight of his beautiful wife with a small nearly foot long bundle that lay in her arms. As Naruto stepped closer to the bed and his new born baby, he noticed that this was his first time with a family of his own. Sure he had Arune-nii-san, Shourai and even the entire rookie nine, but here in the arms of his wife was his own blood and flesh, his beautiful child for who he would fight against the world to protect.
Leaning down to kiss his wife, he caught glance at his first child. A spot of blonde hair and fair skin showed him that the child was healthy and had his hair. Naruto flashed his signature smile before Hinata nodded to him to take the baby into his arms. Removing the delicate package from the generic hospital blanket he turned to see the gender of his child- a girl, small, innocent and beautiful; just like her mother. But in end, Naruto knew that his baby girl would end up being as spontaneous and crazy as him.
Yasuo sat in his study and tried to figure out the scroll that was on his desk. The scroll was one of the old laws enacted for the security of Shinobi families. But this scroll in particular involved his relationship with Arune.
"Decree Forty Five of Hundred and Six. Behalf of the Shinobi Family Rights Committee.
On the sixteenth of the month before the rains, year of the rat, under the rule of the First Hokage.
We, the council, along side the Shinobi Family Rights Committee, declare that no spouse of a Shinobi, who has been killed, injured, or has gone missing, shall remarry or be declared divorced until the fifth year of the alleged death, disappearance or divorce.
By no means shall the spouse of the Shinobi in question have children outside of wedlock before the five years are over, and by no means shall this decree be undermined.
The punishment for not following the decree is to be decided by the council at time or the Hokage."
"I swear that blonde kid finds every means to keep me away from my Arune. But it doesn't matter. I've waited four years for her and I can wait one more before legally making her mine. But that doesn't mean I can't make her body mine tonight. With or without anyone's permission," smirked Yasuo before folding the scroll and sealing it. Then he removed his shirt and headed toward the room he and Arune shared, only to find Arune not present in the room. Once again she had decided to sleep with her son and tonight was the final straw. If he couldn't have her body tonight then Shourai would have to be in pain. That was just how things worked.
Checking the clock in the hallway, Yasuo saw that this was the perfect time to take the little boy out to practice his jutsu and what he learned.
"the poor little boy"
Time skip... one year.
Five year old Shourai ran through the field looking for a white and blue flower. His scar covered arms seemed to be a part of him now. The night after Naruto's daughter was born, Yasuo had carved writing into his arm and burned most of Shourai's back. But a full year later, Shourai's back was healed but the carvings in his arm had stayed to remind him of why he needed to gain strength.
Shourai rememebered why he was at the field and using his quick eyes he found the lone blue and white lily that sat on top of the hill. For the past three months since Naruto's baby girl had started playing one on one with Shourai, he would bring her this flower.
As he ran back to the Hokage's house, the people on the street would whisper things about this flower.
The flower would only bloom once every three decades for five months. In that time the couple that could find this flower would be together forever. But they would also never feel peaceful without each other. The colors of the flower would symbolize the unity of the sky and the heavens.
But to Shourai it represented the colors of Naruto-ojii-san's little daughter; one of her eyes the white Hyuuga color while the other was the blue of the Uzamaki-Namikaze clans. But to Shourai, the little baby girl was balanced and had everything he had ever wanted - a father who cared for him beyond everything.
A.N:
I'm sorry this chapter must be confusing. It has many parts and time skips in it. PM me if you're confused.
I promise you that this story will get more interesting. In fact I have a surprise coming up next couple of chapters. I hope you stick around till then.
I have a question for all of you. I need a suggestion for Naruto's daughters name. It seems that I forgot to think of one for her. Shoot.
I want her name to match Shourai(future), they have to sound good together. (HINT HINT)
Edit 3/2009: I named her Suki meaning love
Or something that you guys come up with… thanks
R&R.
