Naruto Pov:

It's like any day I tell myself. Trying to contain my panic. It had started off usual. I had awoken next to a really pregnant Hinata, bribed her to wake up with good morning kisses and then started talking to my future child through Hinata's stomach. She had laughed at my baby talk and told me the baby was kicking whilst directing my hand on top of our little one's movement.

We had eaten breakfast with Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura too was pregnant but she was staying here to help us with the baby. She would do perfect. I mean she is Konoha's number one healer.

I had only left for a few hours when Sasuke had kicked down the door to the briefing room, startling the citizens who had come to petition about a problem with food, then he had all but dragged my ass out the door. Telling me Hinata was having the baby now.

Shikamaru, my trusted advisor and friend had followed to watch the entertainment. He had urged me to go to Hinata, he would handle the citizens.

Now here I was sweating like no tomorrow in a waiting room with Sasuke. He was doing his best to calm me down, but my mind was going through the worst scenarios of what might be happening in the castle hospital.

Hours later I was still pacing around the room. My track might have left a permanent groove in the carpet. Sasuke hadn't given up trying to relax me but now he did it from a couch.

A servant arrives with a plate of assorted foods and leaves it on the bench for us to snack on. I thank her and she nods bashfully before leaving the room.

"You need to eat you moron." Sasuke states from behind.

"Tell you what, when Sakura has your baby I won't pester you as much as you have pestered me." I shoot back. His goes super still for a moment then, without warning tackles me from behind. We roll around on the floor like toddlers, screaming insults at each other.

"Uh hem." A sudden clearance of the throat makes us both look up. Standing above us is Sakura.

"If you two idiots are done cock fighting you'll find that you have a wife and child in that room Naruto. And you Sasuke" She points "Did not have to succumb to such immature behaviour. Thanks to you I almost lost my focus and Naruto's  child could've died." She finishes terrifying us both. Sakura had always been scary as a kid but now a grown up half Fae and pregnant? Let's just say no idiot would willingly piss her off.

My brain suddenly clicks on what she said.

"My child almost died?" I whisper. Every particle in my body is frozen in terror. Sakura's face softens.

"Everything is fine. You can go in now as well." She says. I brush the dirt off my pants and robe and hold out a hand to Sasuke who is also very quiet.

"Thank you Sakura." I say in utter penchant, and hurry into the room. I want to see my wife and child.
