My Song to You

36

Naruto woke up in a hospital bed. The walls white, the ceiling light too bright. The only thing he could see was Iruka sitting in one of the chairs with a small bundle in his arms that he was rocking to sleep. The bundle wasn't as small as a baby, and it wasn't as big as a ten-year-old. Iruka saw that he was awake and smiled to his adopted son. Naruto looked away from his father and looked around the rest of the room. He didn't want to see his father looking at him with pity in his eyes. Iruka stood up and walked over to Naruto and laid the small human next to him.

"He's been asking for you." Iruka whispered and brushed the dark locks out of the toddler's face. 

Naruto looked down at the small person next to him and started tearing up. He had just tried to kill himself and leave this precious soul behind. He was not better than the person who had left in him in front of the orphanage. Iruka kissed Naruto head and headed to the door. 

"I'll be back, Kakashi is having trouble with the front desk." Iruka said and left Naruto alone with the kid.

"I'm so dumb. I shouldn't have been born at all." Naruto told himself.

The small person turned over in the bed next to Naruto before waking up and looking up at him with big blue eyes. Naruto forced a smile on his face and pulled the boy closer to him.

"Are you sick, Ma? "The little boy asked as he cuddled closer to Naruto.

"Yeah, I wasn't feeling good. I'm sorry for leaving you alone with Shizune." Naruto apologized.

"It's ok. Are you coming to my birthday party?" The boy asked and push hair out of his face.

"Yeah. Why don't we get you a haircut before the party." Naruto said noticing the struggle he was having with the hair.

"But you said dad had long hair. I wanna keep it like dad." The little brunette said huffing as hair fell back into his face.

"Well, um...Dad's wasn't this long." Naruto said choking up on the word 'dad'. 

The toddler sitting next to him was definitely Sasuke's, that's for sure. He looked just like him, minus the big azure eyes that kept staring at Naruto. It had been a long rollercoaster of a time when Naruto found out he was pregnant and could get pregnant. It was a few months after Sasuke and him broke up. They've done the deed so many times without protection that it was possible considering Naruto's health history. 

A few years back Naruto had gotten the worst cold he's ever gotten when he was in middle school. Iruka had to send him to hospital, and they stayed there overnight only to be told that Naruto was having an abnormal period. Abnormal was the only way to describe it. In this world men could get pregnant and have periods, just not as normal as it was for girls. Tests were ran and blood was taken multiple times. Each test told them that Naruto's parents had carried the gene with them and had given it to Naruto. 

Fast forward, Naruto was now twenty-three and his child was now five. Sasuke would have been a great father, if only he hadn't broken Naruto. 

"Can we go home?" The boy asked yawning.

"You gotta wait a bit, until grandpa Iruka comes back. Also, Saruto, what did you want for your birthday?" Naruto asked and shut his eyes.

"I want to see Dad." Saruto whispered. 

Naruto sighed, Saruto asked for the same thing ever since he was able to speak. Naruto had told him that Sasuke and him weren't seeing each other anymore and that Saruto may never see his father. Naruto rubbed his face with his free hand and thought hard on the topic. He had a restraining order on Sasuke after the whole situation that had happened in the dressing room weeks ago. Sasuke didn't even know about Saruto, and neither did the press. Thankfully Iruka and Kakashi had made that possible. As Naruto was thinking about how to tell Saruto that his dad wouldn't be coming to his party Kakashi and Iruka stepped in.
