Fear and Love Part III (Kakashi X OC)

Flashback: Fear of Parenthood

Flashback to when Tsuki was 6 months pregnant with the twins.

I can't stop with the fluff I need help. Someone requested a chapter where Tsuki and Kakashi fight I promise I'll write one lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, so you tuck an arm in..."

"Right."

"And then the blanket goes over their body.."

"Uh-huh.."

"And the the other half folds over."

"Mhmm.."

"And then the bottom goes up and tucks in to the top?"

"Perfect! You got it Kashi!" Tsuki mini clapped at the fact that Kakashi finally learned how to swaddle the stuffed teddy bear he bought to practice on.

But as soon as he let the fabric go, it didn't hold together and it flopped apart.

"Why can't I get this Tsuki?!" Kakashi threw his arms up in frustration,"I'm gonna be a terrible father! I can't even tuck a teddy bear in correctly!"

Tsuki placed her hand on her mouth, failing to stifle a giggle while the other rested on her sixth month old pregnant belly,"You're not gonna be a terrible father, Kashi. You're gonna be great. All this little stuff just takes practice."

He groaned as he grabbed the teddy bear and blanket once again,"This is worse than ANBU training.." he grumbled.

Tsuki couldn't help but stare at how cute Kakashi was right now. He was biting his lip out of frustration, while the tiniest drop of sweat dripped down his temple. His brows were furrowed in deep concentration as he focused all of his energy into trying to master this basic parenting task.

The man was trying so damn hard.

Tsuki rocked back and forth in the nursery's rocking chair while she watched Kakashi at the changing table attempt it once again. But just as before, the blanket fell apart.

Kakashi whimpered out of frustration,"I give up.." he fell to his knees and crawled over to Tsuki, resting his forehead and hand on her round belly,"Forgive me you guys. Your mom picked a total loser to be your father..."

Tsuki giggled again,"Stop being so dramatic, Hatake. You can't be a prodigy at everything.."

"It's not fair- ah!" Kakashi gasped when he felt Tsuki's stomach bulge out and recede quickly,"Oh my god! I'm never gonna get used to that!"

"See, Kashi. They're saying it's okay that you're a loser.." she joked as she watched Kakashi lift her shirt and run his hands all over belly, trying to feel them kick again.

"Does it hurt when they kick?" He asked, placing kisses to her skin, mumbling 'I love you, guys' to the babies in her womb over and over again.

"Not really. Kinda just like a lot of pressure." She said combing her fingers through his hair.

"You're so amazing, Tsooks... We got a two for one deal with twins.." Kakashi placed his hands on the floor and leaned back onto the them,"Part of me wants to call the doctor and find out the sexes. I'm so excited! But also terrified at the same time.."

Tsuki's eyebrows scrunched in confusion,"Terrified? What are you terrified of, Kashi?"

"Oh....y-ya know.... Just..." Kakashi became nervous, stuttering as he struggled to confess his fears regarding fatherhood to his wife.

"Just what?" Tsuki pressed, wanting him to get it off his chest.

"I guess of just being a bad dad. And not protecting them. And not raising them to be decent people. And not teaching them valuable life lessons. And not giving them enough love. And of not giving them enough attention or giving them too much attention. And-"

"Whoa whoa whoa. Kashi, slow the hell down..." Tsuki put a stop to his very quickly derailing train of thoughts,"You are very much overthinking right now.."

Kakashi sighed,"Tsuki..... I can't even swaddle a teddy bear...."

Tsuki laughed and stood up, holding her hand out to Kakashi,"Babe, if you can make your own Susano when you're not even an Uchiha, you can swaddle a goddamn teddy bear..."

Kakashi took her hand and joined her in standing,"That was one time!"

Tsuki rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the wrist, dragging him back over to the changing table,"You're gonna get this, Hatake. Then you're gonna stop doubting yourself as a future father.."

She stood there and watched him wrap up the teddy bear several times, correcting his form until he got it down pat. He high fived her in celebration.

"Yes! Finally!" He said excitedly, pulling Tsuki into a hug, even though her belly was in the way,"Ah, I'm feeling much more accomplished. I should probably build the cribs now..." He looked over at the boxes of unassembled cribs on the ground. Tsuki leaned over to tilt one of the heavy boxes up when Kakashi immediately got in front of her and took over.

"What are you doing?!" He scolded her,"Stop with the heavy lifting! You've got the babies to worry about!" He lightly flicked her belly to remind her.

Tsuki rolled her eyes while she watched him pull out the contents of the box,"I'm pregnant, not immobile or handicapped, Kashi.."

He sighed,"Yeah I know I know... Still, I don't want you doing anything you don't have to."

Tsuki took a seat back in the recliner while she watched Kakashi roll up his sleeves and begin to put the first crib together,"So do you see yourself more as a 'papa'? Or plain old 'dad/daddy'?" She asked.

Kakashi scratched at his face with his index finger,"I think I prefer plain old dad/daddy. What do you think? Does the title fit me?"

Tsuki smiled at her husband, who was definitely coming into his own as a prospective parent as he meticulously built the cribs for his babies that would be there in about three months time.

"Ya know, Tsooks..." Kakashi said while he screwed in one of the crib pieces to the other,"I'd never thought I'd be here in life.."

"What do you mean?"

"Married....having kids..." Kakashi said,"This is all so..... unexpected. I'd never thought I'd meet someone like you where I could see a future like this. I was determined to be single and lonely forever. I resisted my feelings for you for the longest time and I'm glad that I eventually gave in."

"Well I'm glad you gave in too, Kashi." Tsuki smiled,"And I'm sure the twins are glad as well. You're never gonna be single or lonely ever again. I mean unless you divorce me.."

Then Tsuki got mad at the idea of Kakashi leaving her because her hormones told her to,"If you ever divorce me, Hatake, I swear I will 100% be the toxic baby mama that won't let you move on. Ever."

Kakashi burst out into laughter,"Well good thing that's not in the stars, Kuraku. There look it!" He showed off the finished product of the first crib, placing his hands to his blushing cheeks,"Oh my god imagine how cute they're gonna be sleeping in there!!!"

Tsuki chuckled at his giddiness. She had definitely seen a personality change in this man over the last year and a half of being with him. He was the quiet, aloof type around strangers, but when he got comfortable, his happiness and goofiness shined through and that was definitely the case with her.

"What's the safety rating on these cribs?" Kakashi suddenly became skeptical of his purchase. He pulled and prodded at the wood, checking it's sturdiness, even going as far as to climb in and test it himself,"What if we didn't get the right ones? Oh my god, maybe we should go crib shopping again. They're coming out with new stuff all the time maybe there's a better one out there by now.."

He rambled on and on, so concerned about every parenting move he was making.

'He's gonna be such a good dad...' Tsuki thought as she watched her husband criticize his handiwork. She admired him. He was her whole world, her whole family. And that family was about to get just a little bit bigger.
