Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

Time

Kakashi and I have been lucky enough to go the rest of the month without the war interfering with our plans for when the baby was supposed to arrive, which could be any time now. I was full term currently, Amaya had told me there was a medicine she could give me so I would go into labor early. But I refused it, I wanted it to happen when it happened, without any outside help. If Obito wanted to take longer before he was ready, then so be it.

I've also been confined to bed until then, Kakashi won't let me even get up to get something to drink or eat. He thinks all that moving around will cause me to go into labor, which I've had to remind him multiple time is what we've been wanting to happen. I just want everything to go smoothly, no problems, nothing unexpected.

'You really think I'm going to let you have this baby without using the opportunity for myself?' I heard Okuri's low voice in my head as I shift my position on the bed slightly,

'I know exactly what I'm going to do right when your water breaks.'

I rolled my eyes, he's been saying stuff like that for the past two days, never shutting up. I didn't believe a word he said, I reply to him,

'You're not going to do anything, you're still restricted by Kakashi's seal.'

'That seal won't mean a damn thing when that baby decides it wants to come out, I figured you would have known by now. It's the same with a female Jinchūriki, your seal will weaken during childbirth since all your energy will be going to that brat and not to the seal.'

I realized that out of all the things he had been saying recently, that was probably the only thing that was true. The more I thought about it, the more I realized what he was saying made sense. And it gave me all the more reason for my hate towards him to remain, if not grow even more.

When I'm in labor, Okuri was going to try and get out.

"Just relax, he won't be able to do that," Kakashi reassures,

"Not with the seal still on you, anyway."

He pulls the blanket on the bed over me, then goes around to the other side of the bed to settle down at my side. I heaved a sigh and reply,

"I know, but it's still stressing me out."

Kakashi places his hand over mine and adds,

"Don't, he's only saying that to get you worked up over nothing."

I simply nod in response, my gaze locked on my belly. I had felt him kicking more and more lately, causing a bit of discomfort whenever I tried to lie down and sleep. It's actually caused me a bit of insomnia, he keeps me up late at night with all his kicking. I usually end up waking Kakashi with all my shifting around, I don't mean to though. I shifted my position a bit, he was actually kicking right now. It wasn't as if it hurt, he just did it so often that I've kind of gotten used to it. Kakashi watches me for a moment, before saying,

"Just try and sleep, I know he's probably moving around a lot, but try anyway."

I nod again and reply,

"Yeah, alright. He'll probably settle down in a little bit, I'm hoping he will anyway."

It was then I felt a ripple of pain across my stomach, causing me to wince and place both my hands over my stomach. Kakashi notices and asks worridly,

"What's the matter?"

I didn't know, to be honest. But another ripple of pain spread from my stomach to my back, it was unpleasant and I wished it would stop. I opened my mouth to reply to him, but no words seemed to be able to come out. He says,

"I think I know what's wrong, you're g-"

I didn't hear the last part to what he said, because instead of words coming from me, a rather loud cry left my mouth. The sheets underneath me felt wet, and then I realized what was happening.

My water broke.
