The Black Leaf (Part 2)

Chapter 18: A Date

When we got home, I went straight to take a shower. I got out of the shower and realized I didn't bring any clothes with me. I walked to the room and was relieved to see that Kakashi wasn't in there. I was putting my clothes on, when I noticed my stomach had grown a little. I moved in front of the mirror and a small chuckle left my lips as I notice for the first time the small bump. He was in there growing. I placed both of my hands covering it and closed my eyes to sense him. My son, I will always love you and protect you. I opened my eyes and I saw Kakashi's reflection in the mirror, standing behind me. He looked mesmerized, his eyes were fixated on my half naked body. I immediately pulled my shirt down and blushed a little. The nervous smirk on his face was the cutest, Kakashi wasn't wearing a mask, or his forehead protector so it was easier to see him blush.

"He is growing fast," Kakashi finally said breaking the awkward silent.

"It's all the food you are feeding me," I said as I struggled to pull my joggers up. "My clothes don't fit me anymore."

"You don't have to wear any," he whispered and laid on the bed. I ignored his comment and laid next to him. I was so tired I couldn't stop yawing, "have you thought of a name?" he asked.

This question caught me off guard. It was customary for the father to name the first child in the Uchiha clan and in most of the village from what I knew. "No... no yet," I said staring at the ceiling.

"Whatever you choose, I'm sure, it will be perfect," he said in soft voice.

I smiled. Kakashi was so sweet and I loved that about him. I scoot up to lay my head in the pillow and in the movement my shirt lifted a little exposing my abdomen. At the same moment Kakashi turned and wrapped his arm around my waist, burying his face on my side. He noticed the bump under his arm moved his hand on it. I gasped slightly at his action, he immediately noticed and lifted his hand and he looked up at me.

"It's okay," I said with a smiled. I grabbed his hand and placed back on my stomach. He caressed it with such love and affection. I immediately thought of Itachi, he would've been head over heels his unborn child. Just like Kakashi is now, I sighed lightly, and he looked up to me again.

"I will teach this child everything my father thought me," he said with a smile on his face. "Everything I know, and everything there is to know about the Shinobi world."

I just looked down at him, with slight fear and gratitude. "Don't worry," he said with a warm smile. "When I become Hokage I will make sure we keep a peace with the other countries. For him and the other children in the village. This child deserves to have good, safe childhood. Something you, me... and Itachi never had," he said burying his face back on my side.

I gasped and felt my lips tremble. His words hit me hard, maybe because they were the same words Itachi said to me the day he died. There was a sob that wanted to come out, but I took a deep breath to control myself. He wrapped his arm around me and hugged me tight until we both fell asleep.

More than a week had passed, and I knew Kakashi was beyond stressed and worried because of the upcoming war. He hid it well around me and smiled every time we were together. This morning we slept in, we both were giving the day off. I had a strong feeling Kakashi asked the Hokage for that as a favor. I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. Tomorrow, I would be going to the Hidden Cloud with Naruto and the others. I turned to look at Kakashi as he slept hugging the blanket. He worked so hard and never complained, that was one of the main reasons why I liked working with him.

I turned to face him, it was always nice to see him at peace. Kakashi had a strong resemblance to his father. I looked how his silver hair fell on half of his face, and even asleep he had that typical relaxed expression on his face. I wonder how many people have seen his face, I thought. I bet nobody as seen him like I have. I have seen the good, the bad and the evil side of him, and I liked all of them. We were so similar yet so different. I chuckled and he opened his eyes and looked at me confused. Many people found the Sharingan of his intimidating, but I just thought it made him look even more attractive.
