Papa Naruto

Eeeeeyooo spazzgirl here with another new story!

Anyways, I decided to take a one-shot I had for "Me and You," and turn it into a series. This will be all about how Naruto deals with being a new father. It will mostly focus on him and Shinachiku.

The first chapter will be taken from "Me and You" while the second chapter will be something else. The ages will vary from each chapter, but I will try to keep it in chronological order.

Summary: how PapaNaru deals with the struggles that come with being a father

ENJOY!

Chapter 1: Holding the baby

"Push Sakura-san," Shizune instructed the rosette.

Sakura gave one last push and panted as the sound of a newborn cries filled the room.

"You did it Sakura-chan," Naruto wiped his wife's forehead and kissed it.

"Congratulations, it's a healthy baby boy." Tsunade happily handed the newly appointed parents, their now cleaned, son to them.

Sakura happily took the wailing babe in her arms, once the child felt safe, his cries died down.

"Well he's certainty got his father's looks," Tsunade pointed out.

The rosette giggled, "Yes, he's like a mini you, Naruto."

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, "Well hopefully he has your eyes."

"Well, we won't find out until later." The baby in Sakura's arms began to fuss a bit.

Tsunade gave a small cough, "Not to interrupt or anything, but we need the name of the baby."

Both Sakura and Naruto grinned at one another. "Shinachiku Uzumaki!"

"Shinachiku Uzumaki huh," Tsunade wrote it down, "well sounds like the perfect name for him."

The rosette smiled and gave her attention towards her husband. "Would you like to hold him?"

"M-me," Naruto asked nervously, "are you sure Sakura-chan."

She giggled, "Of course, you are Shina-chan's father after all, so it's only fair you get to hold him."

"I've never held a baby before Sakura-chan," the blonde pointed out.

"Most new fathers feel that way, I'll teach you." She instructed him to hold out his arms as he lowered his body. "Make sure you support his head, a baby's head is very delicate."

Naruto carefully, yet still very nervous, did what his wife instructed him. Making sure his son's head was supported perfectly, even though Sakura kept telling him he was fine, he stood up straight slowly. He felt his heart pounding in his chest and began to feel nervous, scared that he was going to drop the baby. Then all of his fears went away the moment Shinachiku opened his arms, he was met with blue eyes (as most newborns have), and the small child in his arms cooed and held his arms out.

The older blonde could feel the tears threatening to spill. He just couldn't believe it, in his arms was the most beautiful thing he ever laid eyes on, this baby was the creation of the love he and Sakura had.

"Hi Shinachiku," he chocked out, "I'm your daddy." The smaller blonde cooed softly. "I'm going to make sure that you get the love I've never had as a child, I'm going to make sure I become the best dad for you, that's a promise of a lifetime."

Sakura couldn't help but tear at her husband's words, she knew that he was going to become a great father.
