Tomorrow is Your Forever

I don’t own Naruto nor do I profit from my fics

“Come on Kurenai! Come on! Push! Harder!” Asuma was a great coach, but his coaching could barely be heard above Kurenai’s screaming. She was pushing against the man she loved and her best friend as hard as she could.

“Keep going Kurenai just a little more! Come on, come on, come on….we have a head…shoulders….a little more….it’s a girl!” The doctor said holding Kurenai and Asuma’s new baby in his hands. Anko watched in horror as the doctor pulled Kurenai’s child right out of her. She couldn’t believe the bloody mess….and honestly she didn’t mind it; she was now staring at their child. The nurses were cleaning up the little girl, she cried and cried; it was exactly what the doctors wanted to hear from her. Kurenai collapsed back on the bed in tears.

“It’s okay baby, you did it….we have a daughter.” Asuma tried once more to comfort her, this time with more success. Anko was still watching, mouth agape, as the nurse weighed the tiny baby.

“Six pounds one ounce.” The nurse said picking up the baby and wrapping her up. Asuma had propped Kurenai up in the bed so she could hold her child that the nurse was about to bring to her. Asuma didn’t take his arms away from Kurenai. Reality seemed to have just set in for Anko.

“Kurenai….it’s a little girl.” Anko hugged Asuma and Kurenai together. “Oh my god….Asuma….you have a family.” Anko had never sounded that serious. The nurse handed the tiny girl to Kurenai who acted terrified to hold her for fear of breaking her, yet all she wanted to do was hold that child.

“Oh my god….oh my god…..my daughter.” Kurenai said out loud. She was smiling and crying at the same time. Anko pulled Kurenai’s hair higher off her neck. It has slipped down during labor and Kurenai was sweating more now than ever. Asuma put his hand on Kurenai’s and leaned closer to kiss the little girl. He then kissed the big girl that was holding their baby.

“Do we have a name for her?” The nurse asked.

“Sarutobi Anzu.” Asuma told her. The nurse jotted everything down on the birth certificate before handing it to Asuma to sign, then Kurenai needed to sign it.

“Okay, I need to take her and get her footprints and do some vital tests. We’ll take you to your room and we’ll bring her back just as soon as we’re done. Oh, the official time of birth was 10:42.” The nurse said. Asuma, red in the face from crying looked at the nurse.

“Please hurry.” The nurse smiled at him.

“I will, I promise.”

“Oh my god! It’s a girl! See! See! Look at the board! 10: 42, Yuuhi, Kurenai –girl!” Iruka practically screamed through the waiting room, then threw his arms around Gai and Kakashi.

“Kurenai’s a mother!” Kakashi said.

“This is truly the springtime of youth!!!!” Gai exclaimed.

“Okay, I like you guys and everything, but I get to be first to hold her.” Iruka said to both Gai and Kakashi.

In Kurenai’s room, Anko and a nurse helped Kurenai change clothes and take a quick bath. Asuma nervously awaited the arrival of their baby.

“Anko…thank you for being in there with us.” Kurenai said.

“I’m glad I was….although I have to say you should have seen that baby coming out between your legs…that was way wicked.” Kurenai smiled.

“Now listen Anko, I know you’ll tell me the truth about how Anzu looks. If you think she looks like all the other newborns just tell me and Asuma, okay?” Kurenai asked.

“I won’t bullshit you I promise.” Anko said. Asuma wanted a cigarette badly, but he didn’t want to step outside for fear the nurse would bring Anzu to them and he wanted to get her in his arms.”

“Asuma, you’re walking around this room in circles like a lost chicken, go have a cigarette, that baby will be right here when you get back; besides it could be a while.” Anko reassured him. Asuma hugged Anko, he was still pretty emotional. He hurried down the hall to quickly drag on a cigarette before his daughter arrived.

“Hey! Are you okay?” Gai asked as he, Iruka, and Kakashi entered the room.

“I’m fine.” Kurenai said. Gai kissed her cheek.

“Where’s Asuma?” Kakashi asked Anko.

“Taking a much needed smoke break.”

“Yeah, and I think I’ll be next.” Kurenai said. Kakashi took Anko in his arms.

“Well, how did everything go in there?” Kakashi kissed her neck.

“Her vagina seemed to just tear apart in a wretched mess…but I didn’t tell her that. It’s no wonder she can’t have sex again for 6-8 weeks….after they stitched that thing up…I’m surprised she’ll even want to.” Anko said softly.

Asuma returned, he was relieved. “Is she here? Oh hey guys!” he was delighted to see his friends. Only moments later, the nurse brought Anzu back. There was silence in the room as Gai, Kakashi and Iruka looked at the tiny baby girl.

“There she is.” Asuma was getting choked up again.

“Kurenai, can I hold her?” Iruka asked immediately. The truth was, Kurenai wanted to hold her the rest of the day, but there was no way she was going to deny Iruka.

“Of course you can hold her.” Kurenai said. Iruka scooped Anzu out of the poor excuse for a baby bed that the hospital provided. The little girl made an absolute fool out of him.

“Oh my god! Look! She has a little bit of black hair!” Iruka examined her closely. Anzu had her eyes closed, so he wasn’t sure if her eyes were red or black. If Iruka didn’t like Kurenai and Asuma so much he probably would have ran out of the hospital with Anzu at that moment.

“Are going to breast feed her?” Anko just had to ask.

“Well I thought about it, but it’s just too inconvenient.” Kurenai said.

“Yeah, not to mention you want to save your nipples for special occasions.” Anko had successfully made Kurenai laugh. A nurse came in to take Kurenai’s vitals; blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Iruka had handed Anzu reluctantly to Gai. Her head fit into the palm of his hand.

“I can’t believe this is yours! This is the generation of Konoha ninjas blooming all over again!” It was a good thing Gai’s speech didn’t go on too long.

“Kurenai, you told me to tell you the truth about your daughter…she looks like every other newborn I’ve ever seen. You’re going to have to wait until she gets older for me to actually tell who she favors.” Anko was always truthful, and right now was no exception.

“Damn….you two are going to get virtually no sleep for the next three years!” Kakashi said taking Anzu from Gai. Anko sat down beside him.

“Anzu, when you’re 13…you come talk to me sweetie…I’ll teach you everything your mommy doesn’t want you to hear!” Anko said to her. Kurenai laughed at her.

“Well, I’d rather her learn from you than the other 13 year old girls!”

“Ah yes…because I have the valuable sexual experiences.” Anko added. Finally, Anzu was in the arms of her father. Asuma sat on the bed beside Kurenai, holding his daughter. They both looked exhausted; actually everyone looked pretty tired, but especially Kurenai and Asuma.

“When is the doctor going to dismiss you?” Iruka asked.

“Probably late tonight or tomorrow morning. It’s already 12:19 so I’d say there’s not a chance I’ll leave today, the nurses will want to check me for a while longer. Kurenai said.

“Well listen, we’re all going to leave you three alone.” Kakashi said. “Call us if you need anything at all, we’ll be around.” He finished. They all said their goodbyes and left their friends alone. As they approached the hospital entrance Gai came up with an idea.

“You all want to go get something to eat. I don’t know about you three but I’m starving and exhausted, we’ve been up a long time.” Gai said.

“Yeah, and I saw more of Kurneai’s vagina than I’ve ever seen before.” Anko said. Iruka, Kakashi and Gai nearly stopped in their tracks.

“Wait….you’ve seen it before?” Gai asked in a rather squeaky voice.

“Oh yeah….we were taking a shower together and she asked me to help her shave it….god…good times…” There was complete silence and no one took another step further down the street. “What?” Anko asked as if NOTHING she had just said was slightly out of the ordinary. “Well, yeah of course she still shaves it if that’s what you’re wondering, I’m the one who taught her that!” Anko said. She was only making this conversation worse.

“Anko…why have the two of you NEVER before spoken of your lesbian encounter?” Kakashi asked her.

“I said that we took a shower…YOU turned it into a hot lesbian encounter in that nasty mind of yours.” Anko said smiling all over. She put her arms around Kakashi as the four of them started walking down the sidewalk once more.

“Anko, I know better…you did more than just take a shower.” Kakashi teased her. Anko smiled all over.

“And to think I thought our dinner conversation would be all about Kurenai Asuma and the baby…but now I’m sensing a whole new talk.” Iruka said. It was strange that the group was minus two; tonight it would be a table for 4.
