Epilogue

Hatake Kakashi came back home from his hellish mission, almost tripping from exhaustion. He was dirty, some blood still on his vest, some deeper cuts still bleeding. Iruka would make a fuss and Kakashi knew he couldn't hug their child, looking like that. Ok, so say hello, bath then, then hug Iruka, hug Shu, pass out on he couch…

He stepped in, toed off his shoes… And froze. A nine months old baby boy was staring at him, standing in the hall way. He had silver hair, huge chocolate eyes, snub nose with a few freckles around it, just enough to make him impossibly cute. He was wearing a sky blue T-shirt and jeans, so small it was almost funny, but he somehow managed to look smug, standing proudly on his little feet in the hall way (Iruka always said it was the "Hatake ultimate smug expression"). Seriously, the kid just couldn't get more cute…

Shunsui grinned, a smile that was combining Kakashi's and Iruka's mischievous smiles, opened his small perfect pink lips and said with the most sweet, ringing voice: "Daddy."

Kakashi stopped breathing. His eyes went wide, his heart was about to break his ribcage… He must have misheard…

His eyes finally saw his husband, grinning madly behind their son, eyes searching Kakashi's for reaction. Kakashi's eyes must have still had that confused, unbelieving expression, as if asking "Was that really…?", because Iruka nodded, still smiling, lips trembling and eyes suspiciously shiny. "Yes", his eyes said. And just then Shunsui made a step towards Kakashi, saying it again: "Daddy!"

Kakashi grinned like a fool, his breathing labored, his eyes watering. He fell to his knees, arms automatically opening to hug his son, then he remembered the state he was in. He looked himself, a frown on his face, could it be that his job was ruining one of his most precious moments with his family, again! Iruka cleared his throat, still smilig, but this time – with understanding.

"It's ok, I'll bathe him later. We can all take a bath together, ne?", he winked.

Kakashi was smiling widely again. He opened his arms again and said to his son: "Come to Daddy… Hatake Shunsui."

The end.
