Now five months later, back in the illusion. Hikari is about to give birth at any second now, but is desperate for Kakashi to be there. She can't do this without him. She screams out as another contraction hit. This baby was coming now, she only hoped that Kakashi would be here in time. She screamed out some very colorful profanities as another set of contractions hit her. "I CAN'T DO THIS!" Hikari cried out "Yes, you can. This will all be over once the baby is out" her mother tells her soothingly, this didn't calm Hikari at all. She cried out in pain once more as another contraction his.

Kakashi was running through the forest, trying to get to Hikari in time for the birth of his first child. Of course this would've been a whole lot easier if she had moved to the leave village instead of staying at the hideout. He still didn't completely understand why she couldn't move to Konoha. Normally it would take him about a week to get there. He hoped he would be on time, but there was no way of knowing when that would happen. A white haired figure ran in his direction as he neared the hideout. The figure came closer and closer and Kakashi could now see that it was Yuka, his brother in law, that was running towards him.

 Yuka was completely out of breath when he reached Kakashi. He stood there with his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath even though he hadn't even ran that far. "Hikari... labor.... quick" were the words Kakashi caught as the other man could barely get these three words out. "Phew." Yuka said as he was finally able to breath normally again. "Translation: Hikari went into labor. Come with me, quick!" Yuka said. Kakashi's eye widened and he dashed of towards the threshold. "You go ahead, I'll be right  behind you!" Yuka called out "Cause I'm never running in my life ever again" he muttered and started slowly walking towards his village.

Kakashi ran through the village as fast as he could. It was raining... hard, the wind was howling, there was thunder and lightning. The weather was going crazy. He threw open the door to Hikari's parents house where he knew she would be. Boy, was he happy to be inside. Ryo who sat at the diner table, nervously waiting till his sister's baby was born, looked up as the door flew open. "She's upstairs" he said once he saw the gray haired boy standing in the doorway. Kakashi nodded and dashed up the stairs. He heard his wife cry out and then.... 

An infants crying was heard from the other side of the door. The weather outside had changed to only rain, snow and lots of wind. The lightning and thunder, however, were gone. He went in and saw his wife with a small bundle in her arms, a happy smile on her face and tears of joy in her eyes.The baby was now sleeping soundly in his mother's arms. And the sun shined brightly from the window. No sign that the weather had been soo bad only a few seconds ago. "Congratulations! It's a healthy baby boy" Kyoko tells him as he enters. 'A boy?' he thought. He stood by his wife and looked at tiny baby in her arms. "He's beautiful" he whispers and kisses his wife on her hair. "Do you want to hold your son?" she asks him. He nods and she carefully hands him the infant. Kakashi carefully took the baby from his wife, supporting the baby's head. The boy was so tiny and fragile, Kakashi was afraid he would break.

 The baby moved a bit in his blankets, the full head of purely white hair became visible. Hikari just watched them fondly with an exhausted smile on her face. "Do you have a name for him?" Kakashi asked his wife "Yuri" she answers "Yuri Hatake" she adds with a smile "Yuri" he says smiling fondly at the small child in his arms "It suits him" he says looking at his wife, she just smiles at him tiredly. He walks over to her and kisses her on her hair. "Go to sleep, 'Kari. You did great" he says giving her closed eye smile. Not even seconds later Hikari closes her eyes. Exhausted from this days events. Kakashi just sat by her side with their sleeping son in his arms. Their little angel, that they've been so anxiously awaiting, had finally arrived and they couldn't have been happier.
