It would never not make me nervous. I knew there wasn't anything wrong with me or the baby, or at least out of the normal. But every time I laid there, on the stretching bed, with my shirt rolled up over my now wide belly and the doctor rolled the ultrasound with the freezing cold gel over my skin... I couldn't help but tighten my hand around Kakashi's who never failed to miss these regular appointments.

We both stared at the screen where there was the shape of a completely formed baby.

"Your baby is already around 25cm, like a banana" the doctor said, and I immediately widened my eyes, picturing a banana. 'That is huge... How the hell is that supposed to get out of me...' "By now, the 5th month, we can already see the gender of your baby. Do you want to know it?" he asked us.

My heart stopped for a second, would they be a baby boy or a baby girl? I looked at Kakashi who seemed in thought like I was. He looked at me and let me decide, so I nodded, biting my lip in extreme nervousness.

"Well" the doctor said, moving the cold thing a little "You will be having a son"

'A son... a little Kakashi... My son. Our son' I smiled, my heart brimming with joy. Kakashi's hand tightened around mine and he kissed the top of my head.

We resumed our appointment, and the doctor revised my health in general. He asked me some questions and we were free to go.

I was so excited as we walked down the corridors of the hospital. When we came in before all I could think was about how fat I was. I wore the biggest clothes Kakashi owned, and even though some people might not see it, it was obvious that I was way fatter than before. But now that we were leaving, I couldn't help but think about our son. Would he look more like Kakashi? Or me? Would he have his white hair? Or his characteristic onyx eyes that despite their bored look they were the prettiest I had ever seen? I couldn't wait to hold him in my arms.

I was so excited and happy that it took me a little to realize Kakashi's expression. Or the lack of thereof. He was happy like always before entering, but now he was... emotionless, which made my chest feel slightly heavy and my stomach turn in worry.

"Kakashi" I called him with a thin voice "Do you not want a boy?" I asked, thinking that it must have been the reason because he had always been thrilled to become a father, even if he had his moments of insecurities.

At my voice, he blinked twice and looked at me only for his eyes to widen slightly. He stopped walking, and let go of my hand, but only to take it to my cheek.

"I don't care" he said, making me feel relieved, though I still wondered what put him in that mood "I just..." he talked further. I looked at him with curiosity, but even though he was holding my face close to his, his eyes were lost on the white tiles of the floor "I wanted a girl to spoil. I was hoping we'd have a little (Y/n), the most beautiful daughter in the whole world" he said with a smile, looking at me again. But then he frowned a little "I'm... scared that our son resembles me" he admitted with difficulty "I just hope he takes after his mother" he didn't explain further and kissed my forehead "I'm sorry I worried you, it was wrong for me to act like that. I'd love our son no matter what" he said, holding me close in a hug "Ouch" he complained when I hit him.

"Don't say that, Kashi!" I said frowning and rather loudly, gaining the attention of the passerbies of the hospital "I hope he takes after you so that he can be a great man like his father is!" I said with a pout and a frown.

Kakashi looked at me and then smiled widely, closing his eyes and letting go of a tiny chuckle that made me blush.

"I love you" he said, kissing my forehead while his hands held me close by my wider hips in a loving hug.
