The Sea To His Love ~~// Glad You Came - Kisame X Self Insert Reader

🌊The Birth of Naozumi ~🌊

Joselyn stood outside of the hideout, wondering where her beloved husband was. She was worried about him. After all, he's been gone for nearly a week. She imagined the worst things that could've happened, but she chased those thoughts away and rubbed her belly. "It's okay, daddy will be back.." she whispered to her unborn child. Although, it sounded like she was trying to convince herself. She sighed and sadly watched the evening sun go down. She spotted a shooting star. "I just want him back.." she whispered and let a tear roll down her cheek.

She went back inside the hideout and into their shared room. She lied down on the bed and hugged the pillow he always used. It smelled just like him. "Don't worry, your dad will be here soon, I just know it." she assured their baby. Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Tobi. "Tobi can hear Joselyn-chan crying. Tobi wants to ask if you're okay." He sat on the bed near her feet. She smiled and gave Tobi a hug. "Thank you Tobi, you are so kind. Go get some sleep, it's late." She whispered.

"Tobi will go to sleep now. Tobi is a good boy and made Joselyn-chan a little happier. Bye Joselyn-chan and baby!" Tobi cheerfully whispered while trying to walk out of the room. "Ah!" He screeched and fell on his butt. Joselyn jumped up with worry and looked towards the door. Her blue eyes landed upon Kisame standing over Tobi, with his right hand grazing Samahada's handle. "Kisame!" She cheerfully whispered and ran to her husband.

Kisame's eyes held anger towards Tobi, but seeing his pregnant wife made his eyes hold love. "I missed you so much! I was so worried." She whispered in his ear while hugging him. "I've only been gone for a week. Do you really doubt the Monster of the Hidden Mist's abilities?" Kisame questioned his wife. She shook her head and pouted. "Are you saying I can't worry about my husband?" She asked sternly. He only chuckled and kissed her. He was happy she was healthy and okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~A week later~~~~~~~~~~~

Itachi, Kisame, and Joselyn were all out taking a walk. "This isn't safe, we should go back." Kisame whined, obviously concerned about his wife's safety. She shook her head and giggled. "Nonsense. After all, Itachi said exercising is good for the baby. Right Itachi?" Joselyn said with a smile. Itachi nodded with a smile. Even though the Uchiha was usually stoical, he enjoyed the fact that Kisame was going to be a father soon.

"You would've known this if you actually read the books, I managed to get for you, Kisame." Itachi said while glaring at him. Kisame shrugged and chuckled. "I haven't had any time. Besides, I know what to do when the time comes." Kisame said with pride. As if on cue, Joselyn felt liquid rolling down her inner thighs. "My water broke." Joselyn said. Kisame glared at his wife. "Lame prank. Besides, we should get home." Kisame said.

"My water broke you idiot!" she growled. Itachi rushed to her side and was about to help her, but Mr. Jealous Gills picked Joselyn up bridal style and ran to the nearest village. They risked the chance of being spotted, but they didn't care. All we cared about now was the baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~Timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When this is over, I'm going to use Samehada to turn you into sushi!!!" Joselyn screamed threats at her husband. Itachi tried to hold back a giggle but failed. "Now, now, dear. *gulp* I'm sure you don't mean that. GAH!" Kisame said nervously as a sweatdrop appeared on his forehead. Joselyn squeezed his hand with a lot of force, he wouldn't be surprised if it was broken by now. After all, Joselyn's strength rivals Tsunade's. "Agh!!! This hurts so much!!" she screamed in pain.

She decided to do a natural birth instead of getting the epidural. "Itachi!!!" She shouted to her best friend. He held her left hand and was ready to bear the pain of his hand possibly being torn off. "Shhh! Calm down, just breathe. You're doing a great job, isn't that right miss?" Itachi said, turning his head to the midwife, he was trying to convince Joselyn. "The head is showing! Keep pushing!" The midwife ordered. "GAHHH!!!" she (Joselyn) shouted and tightened her grip on Kisame's hand.

She pushed once more, then a cry was heard in the silence. "Congratulations! You have a son!" The midwife said while quickly wrapping the baby in a blanket. She hurried and gave the baby to Joselyn. Exhausted as she was, Joselyn mustered up the strength she had and held her son properly.

She smiled as the tears slowly fell from her eyes. "He's so..beautiful.." she whispered and kissed the baby's delicate forehead. "Only because he looks more like you in a way." Itachi commented teasingly while smirking at Kisame. Kisame gritted his teeth as the midwife used Medical Ninjutsu to heal his broken hand. "Oh shut up Itachi." He said to his partner.

"Alright, you're able to hold your son now." The midwife cheerfully said and stepped out of the room to let the family have their privacy. "Can I hold him?" Kisame nervously asked. "No, he's so adorable!~" Joselyn cooed childishly. Kisame face palmed himself and pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew his wife had her moments and he hated it. "Joselyn, now isn't the time to be stingy. I want to see him too." Kisame tried to reason with her.

Of course, she ignored him and allowed Itachi to hold him instead. "WHAT!? You let Itachi hold him! He's not even the father." Kisame pouted and growled. "Fine, give him to Mr. Grumpy Gills. What should we name him dear?" Joselyn smiled. Itachi carefully gave the baby to Kisame.

"I don't know, it's your call." He dodged the question. In truth be told, he wasn't prepared for this question. During the pregnancy, he wasn't good with choosing names. In fact, he was glad Samehada already had a name. "I'm not sure, um..how about...Naozumi Hoshigaki?" Joselyn suggested, hoping Kisame would like it. Kisame nodded and knew exactly why she chose that name. It meant "pure truth" and Joselyn knew that in his past, there was a time Kisame was in the dark..questioning his existence.

She changed him for the better. He wasn't so aggressive and violent like he used to be. Kisame talked to Joselyn and Itachi about leaving the Akatsuki. It was a risky decision, but Joselyn disagreed with Kisame's plan. Pein would find them and slaughter them all. She didn't mind raising their son at the Akatsuki base, but she was afraid that they would get annoyed and try to kill Naozumi.

As they left, Joselyn held a sleeping Naozumi in her arms. Kisame placed his straw hat on Joselyn's head and giggled. She glared at her husband and demanded that he would take it off of her. "Why not? It's for the baby to have shade." He explained. "Liar! Take it off! I look stupid.." she growled. Kisame sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's not about you, it's about him! Now stop being a baby and do what's best for him." Kisame ordered. She sighed and looked away. She knew she was being selfish. "Fine." She huffed and wore the straw hat.

Kisame and Itachi tried to restrain from giggling, which obviously failed. Josselyn glared at them and waved a one hand sign. "Ice style; Frozen Needles!" she whispered violently. Suddenly, Kisame and Itachi were cut with senbon shaped icicles. She smiled with satisfaction as she watched them take cover behind some nearby trees.

~~~Timeskip to Twelve Years Later~~

My P.O.V.
Naozumi had just graduated from the academy. I promised him ice cream, so here we are..walking to the ice cream shop. "Hey Mom, what flavor are you going to get?" He asked. I pretended to think about it. "Hmm..well mint chip has always been my favorite flavor. How about you?" I asked. He beamed happily and blushed. "We both are fond of the same flavor." He replied.

When we entered the ice cream shop, we ordered and sat down near the back of the shop. We ate our ice cream in silence until Naozumi cleared his throat, catching my attention. "Mom..what was dad's favorite flavor?" He asked, hesitantly. My lip quivered and my eyes started to water. I quickly put on a grin, so he wouldn't worry.

"I really don't know. We've never eaten ice cream together." I managed to say with a smile. Naozumi was oblivious to fake smiles, so that was a good thing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.." he apologized sadly. I sighed and placed my hand on his right shoulder. "You're just like your father..always asking questions." I giggled.

"Did he love me?" Naozumi asked without making eye contact. I sighed and lifted his chin up with my index finger. "Your father loved you more than anything. When you were just a baby, he never wanted to let you go. You had his hair since the day you were born and he loved the fact that you favored him over me. He loved you more than he ever loved me, I'm sure if he were here, he would've been so proud of you! After all, you are a wonderful boy. Just remember, without your father...you and I wouldn't even be here." I reminded him. He nodded and smiled.

"Can we visit him on our way home?" He asked hopefully. I nodded and he grinned happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joselyn stared at her late husband's name that was forever carved into a headstone. Naozumi asked if he could have some 'alone time' with his dad, so Joselyn watched from a distance. She wanted to eavesdrop but decided to respect her son's 'conversation' with his father. When she looked at her son, she swore she had seen Kisame next to him, but she knew it was just her imagination.

Naozumi resembled his father in more ways than one. Like his father, he loved to fight and was usually aggressive. However, he was also strong and very keen in battle. He inherited Kisame's hair, nose, and jawline. While everything else was in favour of Joselyn's features.

My P.O.V.
"Alright. Mom, I have to go meet up with Mirai. I promised her we would train again. She wants to test her Sharingan's abilities." Naozumi informed me. I nodded in approval and hugged him. "Don't be too long, if anything happens, you better protect her. I know she would do the same for you." I warned him. He grinned and started to run off.

Mirai is Buntan's daughter. She got married and had a child with her husband before they were both killed by the hands of Sasuke. I wasn't her guardian, but I did take great care of her. Sasuke would visit her and teach her the basics Jutsus. She's just like Buntan, but she doesn't want to grow up too fast. She takes her time learning new abilities and jutsus.

Naozumi and Mirai act like siblings, but they secretly like each other. It's amusing and cute when they accidentally make their feelings obvious. I sighed and sat in front of Kisame's grave. "He wishes you were here and so do I. I always wonder how we would be if you were here. The only reason I'm tolerating the pain in my heart..is because of him. Besides, you would probably kill me if I gave up so easily." I giggled a little and a tear slipped out of my eye.

"Just know, I love you Kisame. I will always love you."
