Disclaimer: I'm terrible at all types of fight scenes. I also don't own Naruto.

Note: There has been a one month time skip. Naruto is set to return and Hinata is just now entering her fourth month. Also, I have never had a child nor been pregnant and therefore I have absolutely no idea how an actual Obstetrics checkup would go, so I'm just going off my regular Gynecology appointments LOL also this is not proof read. I usually go back and do that later.

Hinata smiled affectionately at her stomach, sitting in the waiting room of Konoha Hospital. She was having her four month check up and so far she'd been coming along swimmingly. Today, Hinata was going to find out the gender of her baby. It was technically early (sixteen weeks) but Hinata just couldn't wait anymore. She needed to know she was having a boy.

Sure, she wished that Naruto was here to witness all these firsts, but, it was the life of a ninja and it couldn't be helped. "Hinata Hyuga?" one of the nurses called her name, offering her a warm smile. Hinata stood up slowly, smoothing down her new lavender ninja coat (the same one, just in a bigger size) because she still needed to conceal her pregnancy without being incredibly obvious.

She didn't want anyone else to know until Naruto found out.

Following the nurse, she stroked her belly affectionately. It had quickly become her new favorite habit, she did it all the time. It brought her comfort in the late night when the apartment would get lonely without Naruto's presence. She was never truly alone now, she had her own little sunshine.

"How are you feeling today Miss Hyuga? Any pain or concerns?"

"No, I've felt really well, besides the morning sickness that is. I seem to throw up all the time now." The nurse chuckled.

"Yes, that's very common for a lot of women, Miss Hyuga. I'm going to take your temperature and blood pressure, ask you a few questions, and then I'll let Sakura know you're here."

Hinata tensed at the mention of her comrade. Sakura couldn't find out, not yet anyway. She absolutely could not be seen by her boyfriends pink-haired teammate.

"Ano, um, is there anyway that I could be seen by another medic? It's personal." The nurse scanned through the list and then tapped her pencil next to a name.

"Aiko-san could do the examination, but she is with another patient, if you do not mind waiting I will send for her."

"That would be great thank you." The nurse smiled and wrote down some notes on Hinata's medical charts.

"Are you in any pain today?"

"No."

"Do you feel safe at home?"

"Yes."

"Have you had any thoughts of self harm or suicide in the past six months?"

"No." The nurse continued typing away on the keyboard, filling in the correct boxes.

"Great, everything seems to check out okay. I'll let Aiko know you're ready and she'll be in after she finishes up with her current patient."

Hinata smiled at the nurse gratefully, absentmindedly stroking her stomach. Her little baby would get an identity today and she couldn't wait to confirm what she already knew. She knew in her heart that her baby was going to be a boy.

She had already thought of the perfect name too, but, she wouldn't divulge that information until Naruto approved of the name as well.

Minutes ticked by and Hinata started to grow tired. The quiet of the white, sterile room seemed to make her eye lids feel like a thousand pounds. Nodding off every now and again, she barely registered the soft knocks of the door.

"Miss Hyuga?" Hinata snapped to attention, sitting up in her chair rather quickly. Aiko chuckled and sat down in the chair across from the examination table.

"So we're having our four month checkup, correct?" Hinata smiled happily.

"Yes, I'm just starting my fourth month." Aiko smiled.

"That's good to hear. Please take a seat on the exam table and we'll get the exam underway."

A certain blonde haired Shinobi practically kissed the ground of Konoha's entrance after being away for three long, grueling months. He cried anime tears, thinking about just who was in the Village and what he wanted to do with her.

"Wow Naruto, can you be any more pathetic?" The young Inuzuka boy purposely taunted the over excited male. Naruto glared.

"Shut it dog-breath!" Shikamaru had rubbed his temples so much within the last three months, he was sure there were permanent red marks from his fingers.

"I've had it. Let's report to the Hokage and be done with it. I don't want to see you all for at least 48 hours." Neji silently agreed, just about ready to kill the blonde ninja on site. He also had plans to pay a visit to a certain weapons oriented Kunoichi whom he'd missed dearly (but would never admit out loud).

Naruto practically sprinted towards the newly reconstructed Hokage Tower, eager to give the mission report so he could have some much needed attention from his smokin hot girlfriend. He'd missed the shy Kunoichi terribly and wanted nothing more than to give her a big hug and inhale the wonderful, relaxing scent that only came from Hinata Hyuga.

"BAA-CHAN! WE'RE BACK!" Naruto was never one for manners or tact and as such, barged right into Tsunade's office like he owned the place (and let's be honest, it was going to be his one day).

"BRAT! Who're you callin old huh? You better have a decent mission report for me!"

Naruto grinned and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Shikamaru actually has the report 'ttebayo. I just came to give you my verbal report. I have someone to see, I mean, places to be. Heh."

Tsunade shook her head. She knew everything about Hinata and her situation. If Naruto was the father of her child, then clearly the two were involved in some way. Even though they haven't officially gone pubic with their relationship yet, Naruto wasn't fooling anyone.

"Report then brat! I don't have all day." Naruto grumbled and squinted his blue yes at his makeshift grandmother. The old hag. He opened his mouth and his expression turned serious.

"After three months of observing the Amegakure hideout of the Akatsuki, we can confirm that the Akatsuki have recruited Uchiha Sasuke and he is currently tasked with tracking down the eight tails Jinchuriki Bee. Among Sasuke are three other ninja. A red haired female who seems to be a healer, a fish like guy carrying the sword Samehada, and finally a tall, orange haired man who seems to have some type of mental disorder. He can just go berserk in an instant, killing anything and everything in his path. The only one who seems to be able to tame him is Sasuke. Since the death of Nagato, the Akatsuki have mostly dispersed, however, there seems to be a new leader in the group. Shikamaru has the full report."

Tsunade sighed in her chair, rubbing her temples. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately, rubbing her temples. There was so much to worry about as Hokage, she was getting too old for this shit.

"Alright brat. I'll have the intelligence unit decipher the full mission report. You're free to leave. Dismissed." Naruto whooped in delight, jumping out of the Hokage tower window, his favorite way of exiting Tsunade's office.

He had one thing on his mind and one thing only.

Target and acquire the Byakugan Princess, his amazing girlfriend, Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata came out of the hospital feeling like a million bucks, her heart was swelling with happiness and pride. In her hand she had her most recent sonogram and in it detailed the babies gender.

She was so thrilled to finally know what the little baby inside her would be, and she immediately started to conjure up a whole plethora of names. Of course, she would discuss them with Naruto, but Hinata was just so full of love at that very moment.

She wished that she could share her good news, she was about to burst from the suspense, but, she knew that first and foremost Naruto needed to know about the baby. With a spring in her step, she made her way towards the market place, picking up some groceries so that she could make a nice dinner tonight in celebration of the sex of her baby.

She let her mind wander to her lovely boyfriend, hoping that he was safe wherever he was. Hinata couldn't bare the thought of loosing Naruto. He was her sunshine, her hero, she needed him in her life. And his son needed him in his life, too.

Carrying the hefty bag of groceries, she was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected help of Konohamaru, who'd spotted her down the road and offered to help carry her bags home.

"Don't worry Hinata-nee! Boss would kill me if I didn't take care of his girlfriend in his absence. Are you making him dinner tonight? He is supposed to be back in the village you know!"

Hinata nearly faltered, caught like a deer in headlights. Naruto was back? As in Naruto Uzumaki? As in her boyfriend who was on a mission for the last three months is home? That meant that Hinata would finally have the chance to tell Naruto about the baby! Except, she suddenly felt nervous as well.

In true Hinata fashion, her doubts started to settle in. What if Naruto didn't even want the baby? What if...what if he left her? I mean, Hinata would hope that Naruto would do the right thing and stay, but, she wouldn't force him and she didn't want Naruto to feel obligated to her just because of the baby.

"Hinata-nee did you hear me? I said Boss is back!" As if snapping out of her downward spiral, she smiled at him so brightly it made Konohamaru's heart flip.

"That's wonderful news Konohamaru-kun. All the more reason to make a good meal, ne?"

Naruto approached his apartment door, walking with his hands behind his head when he stopped cold, noticing that something was off.

The steps to his apartment looked...new? And his door...was it, was it painted differently? As his eyes glanced downward, he noticed a brand new, hardly used 'Welcome' matt.

Feeling as if something was not right, he quickly reached for a kunai and didn't let his guard fall. He slowly made his way towards the living room window and attempted to open it, except, he couldn't.

Naruto never locked his windows. Something was extremely off and Naruto was determined to get to the bottom of it!

Finally going back to the front door and unlocking it, he slowly walked into the darkened apartment. Reaching for the light switch on the side of the wall, he flicked on the lights and just about had the shock of his life.

His...his apartment...IT WAS GONE!

Extremely freaked out, he spread his chakra around the apartment, hoping to sense if there were any intruders within the vicinity. Finding none, he was at a loss for words. This was definitely his apartment, that he was sure of, but...but he couldn't fathom what had happened to it.

Everything was new and it looked so expensive!

Hearing the lock on his front door click open and two voices on the other side, Naruto suppressed his chakra and practically dove into hiding, making sure he could observe without being seen.

When the door opened, he was surprised to see Konohamaru carrying a few bags of groceries, followed by his beloved Hinata with a bag of her own. He noticed that Hinata looked different. Bigger almost, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Konohamaru set the bags on the table and surveyed the new and improved apartment. Everything looked amazing. Hinata really did have good taste.

"Whoa! Hinata-nee did you remodel this whole apartment?" Hinata giggled at the small Genin's obvious wonder of the apartment.

"Hai, Ino-chan and I spent the last few months slowly remodeling Naruto's apartment. I...I wanted to give Naruto back even just a little bit of what he's given to me and the Village. He's saved this village so many times, he's a hero, and while I can't do much for him, I thought I could at least give him comfortable living conditions."

Meanwhile, Naruto was practically buried in shock and surprise. Hinata did this? His wonderful, amazing, shy girlfriend remodeled his whole apartment because she thought he deserved it at the very least?

It was too much. Naruto felt his heart swell. No one had ever cared enough to give him a present before and Hinata had given him such an expensive one. It was his first, real gift and he felt tears prick his eyes.

"Say, did Naruto give you a key to his apartment before he left?" Hinata blushed at being found out. She didn't want to lie, but, she also didn't want to tell the truth.

"No, I found his spare key. Konohamaru, can you keep a secret?" Konohamaru nodded, eager to hear whatever juicy secret Hinata was about to impart on him. Naruto was also curious, and used a bit of Kyuubi's chakra to strain his ears to hear better.

"The reason I have this key is because I am living here. I gave up my Hyuga name while Naruto was gone." Naruto's eyebrows furrowed in anger as he let out an inaudible growl. She gave up her name? What could have possibly happened that she was no longer a Hyuga?

'Kit, that's your Mate! How dare the clan try to mess with her? Let me out of here! I'll tear them limb from limb.'

''Eh, quiet you damn fox. I'm already upset 'ttebayo!.'

"They did what?! Boss isn't going to be happy when he finds out." Hinata grimaced as she unpacked the groceries.

"That's what I'm afraid of. I know how Naruto-kun can be when it comes to the Hyuga. I don't want him to know. I don't want anything to do with the clan."

"Is that also why you remodeled the apartment?" Konohamaru fiddled with a few pieces of paper on Naruto's brand new kitchen table. Reaching for an envelope, he opened it up. Inside the envelope was a...sonogram? The name Hinata Hyuga was in the corner and boy was in the bottom corner with an arrow point to the babies gender.

"Ano, not the whole reason, just one of them." Konohamaru's eyes practically bugged out in shock. He quickly shoved the sonogram back into the envelope and left it back on the table. Nodding at Hinata in acceptance he took the time to really observe the young Hyuga girl.

Her hips seemed...wider? Her boobs were definitely bigger...and now that he thought about it, Hinata's jacket was pretty tight around her midsection, it even seemed to be a size bigger than her old jacket.

Could she really be pregnant? Is the father Naruto? Konohamaru thought it wise not to say a word. It was obvious Hinata was keeping the pregnancy a secret and Naruto would kill him if he made Hinata cry.

"Well, I should be on my way! Moegi and Udon are waiting for me at the training grounds." Hinata wrapped her arms around the young boy, careful to keep her stomach at a distance.

"Thank you so much for your help today Konohamaru-kun. I'll make sure Naruto knows you took care of me in his absence. He really cares about you. Have fun training!"

Konohamaru blushed, completely thrown off guard from the hug, but he enjoyed it none the less.

Naruto stayed in hiding, absolutely having an internal meltdown. He was trying his very best to process everything that had just happened, but was really having a hard time doing it. The foxes commentary was unhelpful as well.

"Bye Hinata-nee-chan!"

Once Konohamaru left Hinata picked up the small white envelope and smiled, bringing it to her chest. Her baby was beautiful and she couldn't wait to meet the little guy. Shrugging off her jacket, she reached for her orange apron and tied it around her bulging stomach.

Smiling affectionately, she patted her belly a few times as she pulled various ingredients out of her shopping bag. "Okay baby, we should get started on dinner for Naruto-kun's return! Should we make him ramen?" Hinata giggled to herself and started to prepare the meal.

Meanwhile, Naruto's mental comprehension was at max capacity. He stood there behind the bathroom door, frozen. Baby? What did Hinata mean by baby? Who was she talking too?

As Naruto slowly pushed open the bathroom door, he looked across the small hallway into his bedroom and if he hadn't already died from heart palpitations, this one was sure to do him in.

His small twin sized bed was now replaced with a sleek and modern looking double bed. His messy room was neatly cleaned and organized and...wait wait wait...was that a crib?

There was a whole nursery in his bedroom!

His brain had officially failed him. He couldn't handle this. He needed answers and he needed them now.

"HINATA!" He sprinted back into the kitchen, startling the Hyuga so bad she jumped up from the stove, dropping her ladle on the floor.

"N-Naruto-kun! You...you're...here? I mean...um..." Hinata was lost for words, still reeling from the shock of Naruto's appearance. How did he get in here? Hinata didn't hear the door open nor did she detect her boyfriends presence at all.

Had he been here the whole time? She might faint if that were the case.

As Naruto observed his petite girlfriend, still holding a surprised look on her face and facing him full on, he almost fell over when he noticed her obviously pregnant stomach.

He started to hyperventilate.

"Naruto-kun are you okay?" Hinata was scared. What if Naruto was angry with her?

"Hinata you're...you...this...the apartment...what?" Hinata immediately ran to her boyfriend, steadying him and trying to calm him down. She felt saddened at his nearly hysterical state.

"Yes. I fixed up the apartment for the future, Naruto-kun. I...I am pregnant with your son. Our son."

Naruto couldn't fathom the news.

Son. Hinata was pregnant with his son.

Naruto shakily backed away, reaching for the door handle. "Hinata I, I need to...to go. I am going over to Shikamaru's."

He sprinted out the door, forgetting to close it in his rush. Hinata watched the retreating back of the only man she'd ever loved, tears gently fell down her face. She rubbed her belly for comfort, as if consoling the small life inside her.

Where would things end up now? Hinata knew their relationship couldn't handle this. How was she supposed to depend on Naruto, when he was also a teenager just like herself?

She looked at the boiling ramen on the stove and the forgotten ladle on the floor. Picking up the ladle, she dropped it into the sink and turned off the stove burners. She sat on the couch in silence, crying for everything that had just happened and everything that was about too.

Some welcome back she gave him, huh?

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE. SO. How do you like things so far? Did the reunion go the way you expected it too?

Because of the premise of this story, it will follow canon...and then it also won't at the same time. I don't want to classify this as a total AU, but it will eventually become more AU then canon.

Also, I've had a couple people PM me about future Boruto characters and pairings so I want to set the record straight.

I do not like BoruSara. It's like a neo-NaruSaku and I just can't do it. So no, Boruto will NEVER like Sarada in any romantic way in my story. As such, THERE WILL BE NO BORUSARA. DON'T ASK ME FOR IT. I don't like Sakura, I never have, so why am I going to pair her child with my beloved Boruto when I can pair him with Sumire!

I am 110% a BoruSumi shipper. BoruSumi will be a set pairing. I'd already decided this before I started writing this story as well as how I'm going to work it into this story. HOWEVER. Guys. I'm literally only 4 chapters into my story. They're not even born yet! Relax, and enjoy the Naruto progression. We will get to all the Boruto characters in due time. Also, please remember that Boruto will be older than the other characters.

LASTLY, I'm honestly really shocked and taken aback at all the feedback I'm receiving at only 4 chapters! 20 reviews? Guys you're awesome! I'm so glad you're enjoying my story. I started reading on this website in 2006 (I'm 25) and made my first story on here in 2008. There were SO MANY GREAT STORIES back then, such classic NaruHina's too, and when I scroll through the NaruHina tag now, I find most fanfics severely lacking in content, abandoned, or just all around terrible.

The stories that do manage to catch my interest are abandoned/discontinued. LITERALLY LIKE 10/10 IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. So, I hope that you stick along for the ride, are patient with my updates (I'm by no means fast or regular), and let me show you how OLD SCHOOL NaruHina writers do it! :D Because, technically, I've been writing NaruHina since 2008.

PPS: Please send me your feedback! What do you agree with? What don't you like? What would you like to see in the future? Please drop a review and let me know! Till next time!
