Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

The Honeymoon

For our little getaway, Tsunade had given us some options on where we could go. We could stay in the Hidden Sand, go over to a small village near the shores, or even head over to the great snowfields to the west, plus a couple of other places I couldn't really remember. I didn't want to go to the snowfields, I'm not a big fan of the cold. I did like the sun though, so I was stuck between the Hidden Sand or the village near the shore.

Kakashi said he didn't really care where we went, just so long as we got there when we were supposed to and didn't have any trouble getting there. I was drawn to the shores though, I still can't swim, but it would be nice to just lie out in the sun. Then again, I always can do that in the Hidden Sand.

Ahhh, what hell. It's not often we get to go to a village by the shores for a getaway instead of a mission; so why not take the opportunity when it presents itself?

Apparently, the village by the shore also had a little spa. It had massages, physical therapy sessions that were supposed to relax the body, and even a nice hot spring for couples to relax in. I was looking forward to the hot spring the most, believe it or not. Even though we have one back in the Leaf, it would be nice to change it up a bit. I mean, it's still a hot spring; so there's not a whole lot of change. I did want to try a massage though, I've never gotten one before. It was making me a giddy thinking about it, it's kind of embarrassing actually.

Kakashi and I had arrived at the small village after about two days of travel, and it was even better in person. It was sunny, yet there was a nice breeze going by. The sand on the beach was warm between my toes as I watched the waves lap against the shore, it was a little bit after noon, meaning we had some time before it would start getting dark. Kakashi was off doing something, I don't remember what he said it was though. So I decided to head down to the beach for a while, just to think about everything that's happened lately.

I placed a hand over my belly as a quiet sigh passed my lips, I'm glad Kakashi is the one who I get to start a family with; there's no one else I'd rather have. We've been through the same things since we were kids, and even now as adults. Our pasts are similar and intertwined with one another, I guess that's one of the things that kept drawing me closer to him. I wanted to know everything about him back then, every little thing. I wanted to know how he found the will to become a Jounin at such a young age, I wanted to know what his favorite food was, and his least favorite. I wanted to know his favorite color, what he did in his free time, I even wanted to know if he had ever had feelings for anyone. He had told me no every time I had asked, which didn't really surprise me at the time. But that was when Obito had told me about his feeling for Rin, yet how she loved Kakashi. I was sure that the brown haired girl and Kakashi would end up together after we lost Obito, but then we lost Rin too and I didn't really know what to think after that. I hadn't experienced a loss like that in a while, not since I lost my mother. I hadn't cared much for my father after what he did to me, I still don't care now as a matter of fact.

The only people I really care about now are back in the village, Kakashi, and my unborn son. I wish I still had my mother around, however. To be honest, I'm still not fully prepared to be a mother myself. I don't know how Kakashi feels about being a good father or not, but I know he'll be a good one for sure. He may or may not believe it himself, but he's the most responsible and caring man I know; there's no way he could fail as a father. Myself, on the other hand, I'm not the same way. I've had such dark childhood that I only want the best for my own son, but I'm scared I'll do something wrong. I want my son to grow up with both his parents, in a loving home, and to follow his own path in life.

My mother wanted the same thing for me, but we see how well that turned out. I had gone without parents for years when I was a little girl, then Minato and Kushina became new parental figures after they had taken me into their home. I hadn't felt more loved then when I was with my own mother than when I was with them, it's one of the memories I have of them that I'll keep in my heart forever.
