Sasukes pov

Today, I would be alone with Naruto since Seto and Azia were out with Minato looking at potential kindergarten options and we had an ultrasound appointment to discover the gender of our child. This would be an uneasy experience since after he rejected me on Christmas, I've not been able to confidently spend time with Naruto alone.

"You ready to go?" Naruto asked me gently.

"Yeah..." I responded awkwardly. He then began to approach causing me to instinctively back away.

"What's wrong?" He questioned.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit nervous to finding out the baby's gender" I lied. Truthfully, I was struggling to face Naruto given the possibility that he no longer felt the same way about me that he used to.

"Any preferences?" He asked in an attempt to calm my nerves.

"Honestly I don't mind but... maybe a girl so Azia could have someone else to cling to. Maybe then she'll leave you alone..."

"Haha Sasuke are you jealous of your own daughter? That's unbecoming of a mother," Naruto teased.

"Maybe... just a little bit" I responded honestly before quickly changing the topic.

"But I'd also love to have a boy, I think Seto would be the best big brother. Anyways let's get going." I spout nervously. Naruto grabbed hold of my hand and held it all the way to the car, maybe he could tell I was a little on edge. I loved that he was always so considerate but, in all honesty, sweet gestures like this after refusing me as a partner did more damage than good.

When we arrived at the hospital we were sent to a waiting room. That's when it dawned on me that I hadn't even thought to ask Naruto wether he wanted a girl or boy.

"What about you?" I asked randomly.

"Pardon?"

"A Girl or boy?" I clarified.

Naruto smiled, got out of his chair and rubbed my bulging stomach causing me to blush.

"As long as it's a part of you, I'll love it unconditionally so I'm not really fussed about the gender" he stated, giving me butterflies.

"Oh... okay" I responded, unsure what to make of his response.

The doctor came in shortly after and began my ultrasound.

"Congratulations it's a healthy baby girl!" She informed us before leaving the room to give us privacy.

I began to cry unexpectedly resulting in Naruto hugging me reassuringly.

"I can't believe this is actually happening, everything feels so real now. I'm really having another baby" I spoke in disbelief.

"I'm just glad that this time, your here with me..."

"I will always be here" Naruto assured me as he rubbed my back. Picking up on the fact that I was lost for words, he steered the conversation in a different direction.

"Hima" He said randomly.

"Huh?"

"I think that's what we should name our daughter." He explained. I giggled at how oddly he introduced the name.

" Yeah, that's a nice name" I agreed.

When we got home Naruto suggested I rest and informed me that he had a lot of work he needed to complete so he would be scarce but I should call him if I needed anything.

Ever since I became pregnant Naruto had been overly protective of me, so I was suprised that today he was so lax about leaving me alone. Without Seto and Azia around I found myself engulfed by boredom which made me realise how excited I am to become a mother again since my twins had grown up so fast and I missed the days that they enjoyed being coddled.

Various thoughts ran through my head as I lay down, missing both Naruto and my kids, when I was suddenly disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Mommy!!!" Azia and Seto screamed in unison.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked genuinely shocked since I thought they were with Minato.

"Here, wear this" Seto instructed as he stretched out his tiny hands and handed me a blindfold.

"No." I refused not interested in playing along with this silly game of theirs.

"Please momm!" Azia begged with the cutest little pouty face. I couldn't say no to her.

"Fine, but make this quick and don't do anything stupid" I warned them, cautious as to what exactly I'd just conceded to.

Seto and Azia guided me downstairs slowly. I had no idea what their game was but I played along for the sake of my adorable kids who I loved very much.

When my blindfold was removed I found myself outside standing in the middle of Naruto's enormous front porch with Seto and Azia nowhere to be seen. I heard loud noises above me causing me to look up, only for my eyes to be met by the sight of multiple jets flying and leaving behind large bold letters in the sky until finally a sentence was formed saying:

'Sasuke will you marry me?'

An array of fireworks followed this display. I was captivated and filled to the brim with inexplicable emotions. So much so that I hadn't even realised Naruto kneeling before me with a sparkling oval diamond ring stretched out in one of his hands.

He looked up towards me, his face clearly full of emotion.

"When you asked me to be your boyfriend on Christmas, I was truly touched. But unfortunately I have to decline that offer. Since the day I met you I knew you were the only man for me. I want to spend the rest of my days loving you and being loved by you. So, Sasuke will you do me the honour of becoming my husband?" He asked.

Words couldn't describe the joy and relief I felt in this moment, to know that Naruto still cares for me as deeply as he always has and to finally have the opportunity to rectify the mistake of leaving him all those years ago and being unhappy for so long. To finally become a family...

"Of course I'll marry you!" I said through tears as Naruto slipped the ring onto my engagement finger before getting up to wipe my tears. He pulled me in by my waist and kissed me slowly and deeply. It felt as if our beings were merging. I slung my arms around his neck and lay into his chest, giving myself time to soak in the moment whenI felt abrupt movement in my stomach.

"Oh my goodness, Hima, she's moving" I told him. Naruto felt Himas kicks from within my stomach and for the first time ever I saw him shed a slight tear.

"Are you okay" I asked him concerned.

"Yeah... I'm just so happy" he said before kissing my forehead. I knew exactly how he felt given that my heart was on the verge of exploding.

"Daddyyy! Seto hit me" Azia ran in complaining before jumping into Naruto's arms. I rolled my eyes, in disbelief that she was incapable of not being the centre of attention for more than a couple minutes. Naruto chuckled at my reaction and pulled me in too. Azia grabbed me and continued to cry, which I found so adorable that I instantly forgave her for stealing my moment and even began to feel guilty for being jealous of my daughter.

"I didn't hit her, she had something stuck in her hair and I removed it for her" Seto said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Poor Seto, how are you going to deal with another mini Azia" I joked.

"Woah I'm gonna have another sister?"His eyes lit up momentarily, if one didn't know any better they'd think he's excited.

"Yes" I confirmed.

Seto smiled.

"I'm glad" he said whereas Azia who had now stop crying just continued to pout unbothered by the gender revelation of her new sibling.

I carried Seto and squished his cheeks onto mine.

"Your just so cuteeee!" I squealed as my motherly instincts to pamper my only son took over.

"Get off me" he complained all the while staying deadly still.

During the commotion Naruto received a call from Minato

Naruto's pov

"Hey dad, is everything okay?" I asked as I wondered why he would call me knowing I'd planned to propose today.

"She... Shes... Shes finally awake!" He told me through stifled tears.

"Calm down, what do you mean da-"

"It's your mom, she's woken up from the coma. Kushinas come back to us Naruto!" He alerted me causing my heart to summersault. This was certainly the happiest day of my life.

"I'll be right there" I told him before cutting the call and sinking my head into the palm of my hands in order to stop the tears from flooding from my eyes.

I explained the situation to Sasuke and he insisted on coming with me so along with Seto and Azia, we set out to visit Kushina.

I was shocked to see my mom sitting up and talking, looking as youthful and healthy as ever as if she'd never been in a coma at all. I couldn't stop myself from running towards and hugging her.

"Naruto" she whispered my name through tears.

"Even though it feels like I saw you just yesterday, I'm happy to see your face" she said through laughter.

"I'm so sorry... this is all my-" I immediately began to apologise before she cut me off.

"Stop it. Don't blame yourself for any of this, what matters most is that in this moment, we're together again." She spoke just as gracefully as she always had whilst squeezing my hands.

Seto and Azia had fallen asleep in Sasukes arms long before we arrived. I'm sure Kushina was confused to be met with the sight of two sleeping children in the arms of a pregnant man.

Sasuke smiled at her awkwardly, afraid to say the wrong thing.

"Mom this is my fiancé, Sasuke and th-"

"Ohhhh he's so handsome look at that face, it's such a pleasure to meet you Sasuke!!! And those adorable kids don't tell me they're my grandchildren?!" Kushina screamed scaring Sasuke half to death.

"Um well.. yeah they are..." he responded nervously.

My mom wrapped her hands around her knees and sunk her head into her thighs, crying uncontrollably.

"Thank you Sasuke, for being there for Naruto through my absence" she said.

Sasuke gave her a warm smile and accepted her thanks. He put the kids down and embraced her in a hug.

We all began to converse and catch up on the many missed years, I even learnt about things Sasuke experienced that I previously had no idea about. Him and Kushina really gravitated towards each other which I couldn't have been more grateful to see.

Out of consideration for Minato, who had spent years missing his wife, we decided to leave after spending a few hours with Kushina, giving them time to catch up.

I appreciated the blessings life had handed me and anticipated my wedding with Sasuke which my mother would now be attending.
