Once his hand was healed, his main concern of course was his wife and newborn daughter. Rin...no one but them would understand the significance...Kakashi, outside of his relationship, was a very closed off man. Most of what people knew about him was quite superficial. While those that were around the same age would know of Rin's death, they didn't know how she died...and how it tied into what made Kakashi who he was today.
In a way...it felt like she had reborn and was in his wife's arms beginning to nurse for the first time.
Before he could think on it more, he was called to Sakura's side. He wasted no time going to sit with her, legs curling sideways on the bed to not shift Sakura or their daughter any, and he leaned in to nuzzle his masked nose into her hair.
He didn't even care that there was going to be a giant blood stain on the floor that he had to worry about. He was just...happy nothing had gone wrong.
It took him a moment before he let out a small chuckle.
"...I think that was the scariest moment of my life," he announced with a cheerful smile. That had probably been the closest he had ever been as an adult to having a full blown panic attack. He would never forget it.
Sakura let out a small chuckle at Kakashi’s statement. She did her best not to jostle Rin as she nursed, “I think… I have to agree. I really should have had you stay home until she was born.” Just Sakura had no idea how close to due she was until Rin decided it was her moment to be born.
“This will be a fun story to tell her when she’s older though! She was just so excited about being born she couldn’t wait.”
In the end, everything went flawlessly. Both Sakura and Rin came out perfectly healthy. Despite Sakura having to deliver on the floor. Sakura was a bit upset that she made a mess of the floor she worked so hard to clean recently. But there was no way she could deal with that now. She was going to have to take it easy for a while as she recovered from the birth.
“I just can’t believe it… We’re both finally parents. I-i never thought I’d ever get to be a mother.”
Before she ended up with Kakashi, for the longest time she had given up on the idea of ever being with anyone. After the heartache she went through with Sasuke, she thought love just wasn’t for her. But Kakashi proved that all wrong. He never gave up on her. And now she was a happy wife and mother. Their daughter was just so beautiful. She had Kakashi’s pretty silver hair, and her bright green eyes. A perfect blend of the two of them. Though Sakura was a little disappointed, Rin didn’t end up with her pink hair. The next one maybe. Because without a doubt, Sakura wanted more kids. She was already completely in love. And she wanted to be sure her babies had better lives than they both had.
The two medics watched over Sakura as she nursed for the first time. Making sure everything was okay and that Rin was latching properly. One of the medics pulled out some paperwork and started some signing some things before holding out the papers to Kakashi,
“The birth certificate. We need you to sign off of it so we can put Rin in the system. Don’t worry Sakura, he can sign for you, considering your arms are a bit full at the moment.” The medic softly laughed. The certificate already had Rin’s name written on it. All that was needed was both parents' names listed.
“I can’t believe how well you both did considering the circumstances. Though I hope next time you decide to have the baby in the hospital rather than on the floor.” The other medic praised.
“Trust me, it wasn’t planned like that. Rin just seemed to have other plans for us. Hopefully next one, Kakashi will be retired and we won’t have to worry about me going into labor alone.” Naruto becoming Hokage couldn’t come fast enough. She wanted Kakashi home with her. She hated how busy being Hokage made him. But at least he was able to be there for the birth. She wasn’t sure how she would have made it through alone.
