You Are My Destiny

Hashirama And Hibiki

Three months later

Hashirama

I woke up to the sound of Hibiki screaming his head off. I got out of bed and took him out of his crib which was in the same room as me. "I's ok my love I'm here". I cradled him in my arms and brought him downstairs.

I held him with one arm as I used my free hand to turn on the sink, put water in his bottle, scoop his formula into it, and shake it well before giving it to him. He sucked it while looking at me.

He's had the same routine since he was born. I give him his bottle at eight after which I give him his bath, change him into his pajamas, and start to tire him out so it'll be easier to put him down for the night.

We play for a little while before going on our night run. I have a baby carrier I can strap to myself and that allows me to place him on my back making it easier to carry him. I've been slowly trying to get into an exercise routine to help me lose the baby weight.

It also tires him out which is a plus. After our run, I take him home and bring him upstairs to my room where I gently rock him while singing the lullaby my mother use to sing to me and my younger siblings.

I'm so glad he's mine. He brings so much joy to my life and fills me with so much happiness. If it wasn't for him I would've become depressed thinking about Madara and how the two of us are still apart. I still do think about him but not as much.

Hibiki needs my full attention and I'm going to give it to him. I'm not going to be like my father. My son will know nothing but love, laughter, and joy and hopefully in the future when Madara does come back he'll have two dads instead of one and maybe even a few younger siblings.

After he was done with his bottle I placed a towel over my shoulder and put him over it as I gently patted his back. All he did was laugh. "Don't laugh, burp". He laughed more. "Burp boy". He laughed again.

"This isn't funny, Papa wants to sleep". I held him up and nuzzled his stomach with my face which made him laugh even more. "I love you". He smiled at me then burped in my face. I gave him an annoyed look which made him laugh even more.

"You mischievous little boy. How dare you do that to your papa"? I said playfully. He smiled clapping his hands. I smiled at him and brought him back upstairs. I placed him on his changing table, grabbed a fresh diaper, and placed it under him.

I pulled his pants down, unstrapped the old one, grabbed the wet whips, and used them to clean him before putting baby powder on him, strapping the new one on, and putting his pants back on him.

"There, your stomachs full and you have a fresh diaper on". I picked him back up and went to lay down in bed with him. I knew he wasn't going back to sleep any time soon. He laid on his back while I laid on my side and smiled up at me.

"My sweet boy. I love you so much. I'm so happy to be your papa". He giggled. My phone rang and I smiled more already knowing who it was. He was the only one that called me late at night. 

Hashi: Hey Mada

Mada: Hey Hashi. I'm sorry if I woke you up, I know it's pretty late

Hashi: It's ok, I wasn't sleeping

Mada: Rough night

Hashi: Something like that

Mada: Does it have to do with what's been troubling you lately?

Hashi: Not really. I was able to get that situation settled a while ago

Mada: Why didn't you tell me?

Hashi: Because I didn't want to bother you. You have your own things to worry about

Mada: Hashirama, I will never be too busy for you. Whenever you need my help all you have to do is ask. I'm here for you anytime day or night

Hashi: Thank you

Mada: Your welcome

Hashi: Where are you this time?

Mada: We're visiting a village that's surrounded by a lot of sand.

Hashi: Did you build any sand castles for me

Mada: Yep I even drew pictures of us next to them

Hashi: Now why do you get to have all the fun

Mada: Maybe I'll bring you here one day

Hashi: I hope you do. Are you learning anything there?

Mada: Besides the fact that most of the people here have sticks up their asses yeah.

Hashi: Poor baby

Mada: Your joking but I swear a lot of them have the same attitude as your father if not worse

Hashi: I see

Mada: Yeah anyway I'll let you get some sleep. I just called to check in on you

Hashi: Night Mada

Mada: Night Hashi

Thankfully Hibiki was quiet during the call. I would hate for Madara to find out like this. I placed my phone back down on the nightstand and gave him my full attention again.

"That was a good friend of mine on the phone. He's very nice and loves little kids. I hope the two of you can get along with each other if you ever meet. Your both very important to me". He smiled and started playing with my necklace.

I pulled him closer to me and held him in my arms. I went back to sleep and allowed him to stay up. I knew he would go back to sleep as well once he got bored enough.
