[Naruto And Karin's Room]

It was early in the morning and Naruto and Karin were snoozing comfortably in their beds. Karin could feel Naruto's soft breathing on the back of her neck and while it did tickle a little, she really didn't mind at all. She enjoyed laying down with his chest resting against her back and one of his arms around her waist. She wanted to just enjoy being with him and sleep in for a little while longer. Unfortunately for them, that wouldn't be the case. The baby started crying at six o four and they both knew they couldn't ignore her. Karin sat up first in her bed.

"Good morning Kushina." Naruto said before yawning and sitting up with his wife.

Both of them looked to the baby's crib at the foot of their bed with their daughter stirring and still crying for someone to come and get her.

"So Naruto, how do we tackle this morning?" Karin asked her husband.

"I'll take the first shift Karin." he replied.

"Are you sure?" she asked him.

"Karin, go ahead and get your shower and your day started." Naruto smiled. "I'll feed the baby, change her too if she needs it and maybe after breakfast you can take a turn." he suggested.

Karin smiled and leaned in to give him a quick peck on the cheek. "Thanks Naruto." she replied before heading off to the bathroom to start her day.

Naruto got up and made his way over to his daughter's crib. "Alright young lady, let's get you fed." he said before reaching down and picking her up. He noticed that her bottom felt kind of soggy though as he held her in his arms. "Although a clean diaper should come first." he said as we walked over to the changing table.

Karin stepped into the shower and let the hot water wash over her body. She was pretty tired still. Kushina was only a week old and already she was wearing them both out all the time. Constantly feeding, constantly wanting to be rocked back to sleep and all the diapers wore her and her husband out all the time. She was glad that Naruto was able to help her out as often though.

"Karin! Where are the clean diapers?!" she heard from her bedroom. She was about to call back when she then heard "Wait, never mind I found em!" which made her smile and resume her washing.

Kushina was only wet this morning so it was a quick and easy clean. She was still crying because she was hungry but Naruto added the appropriate amount of baby powder before putting a new diaper on her and then buttoning up her onesie and brought her downstairs. Naruto held her in one arm while he filled a bottle with water and put it in the microwave. He stood their and waited while she kept crying for either a bottle or a tit.

"I know sweetheart, I know. Daddy's hungry too." he said as the microwave dinged. He pulled out the bottle, added the right amount of baby formula like Karin showed him, popped on the top and shook it until it was properly mixed, tested the temp by dripping a single drop on his arm and was satisfied with it before bringing it to her lips. Kushina immediately stopped crying then and just started drinking the formula her father held for her. "There ya go kiddo." he smiled before taking a seat at the table.

Karin came back down in her bathrobe and her hair in a towel. She got the coffee pot started and looked over to smile at her husband who was bottle feeding their little baby. She got some toast going and also some bowls for cereal. Once she added the milk and walked the bowls and toast to the table, she leaned over to give her daughter a quick kiss before taking her seat next to her husband so she could have her breakfast.

"So what's the game plan for today?" Naruto asked his wife.

"I'm gonna need you to help out with the house and the baby." she replied. "I have Tayuya, Shikamaru, Kiba and Hinata coming over today to visit and see Kushina." she told him.

"Sounds like fun. I look forward to talking with Kiba and Shikamaru." he said with a grin.

Karin reached over and took the baby while smiling for her little girl. "Glad to hear you're on board. Now once you're done, I need you to vacuum the house." she told him.

Naruto would finish his breakfast quickly and then begin work on the house. Karin would sit on the couch with her daughter and smiled down at her. She gently laid their baby against her with her head on her shoulder and would start patting her back. She discovered early on that she liked resting on hers or Naruto's shoulders while being pat repeatedly on the back. Plus, Karin read that it was good to try and burp the baby after feedings. Makes it easier for them to digest.

Naruto and Karin would go back and forth with taking turns with Kushina. Naruto wound up having to try and figure out how to calm her down when she had one of her crying sessions. Kushina would start crying from time to time and Naruto or Karin would have to try and calm her down. Sometimes it involved changing another diaper, another feeding session or even just holding her a different way. At about two o clock and after lunch, Naruto and Karin welcomed Kiba, Hinata, Shikamaru and a very pregnant Tayuya.

Hinata was privileged with the first turn to hold the baby. Once everyone had their seats, Hinata smiled down at the beautiful baby that slept comfortably in her arms. After a while of talking and catching up, she looked up to speak with Karin.

"I've been meaning to ask Karin." she said getting their attention. "You told me that you weren't gonna name your baby after someone from your family. What changed your mind?" she asked her.

"You could say it's because I won a bet." she said with a smirk and looking over at Naruto. "I wagered that she would have red hair like me while Naruto thought she'd be a blonde like him. If she was red headed I was not only gonna choose the name for her I was gonna name her after his Mother. And I'm glad to see that she looks just like her." she told her.

"So what did you plan on naming her Naruto?" asked Kiba.

"I picked out the name Kusami." he replied. "But I wasn't entirely against naming her after my Mom. I'm actually amazed how much she looks like her." he told him.

At one point, Kushina would start to stir and cry again and Karin figured that it was time for another feeding session. She took her baby and then threw a blanket over her shoulder to cover herself while she started breastfeeding. The six of them would talk and take turns holding the baby for a few more hours before it was time for everyone to go. Naruto volunteered to cook dinner tonight to take the weight off his wife's shoulders while she takes care of Kushina.

At one point, Karin had her in her little baby bath and was gently washing her off with nice warm water while the kid was crying bloody murder. "Somebody sounds like she just loves her bath." Naruto said walking by and Karin responded by just rolling her eyes with a smile.

She would then take the crying infant out of the little tub and lay her down in the towel and wrap her up before picking her up in her arms which calmed her down. "There, that wasn't so terrible now was it?" she asked her softly and lovingly.

Naruto made a simple yet nice dinner of chicken, steamed vegetables and white rice for them and they ate while Kushina rested in her baby seat on the table. Once dinner was done and the dishes were finished, the both of them would lay her back down in her crib and then turn in for the night. It wouldn't be long at all though before they were reawakened by Kushina's crying again. This was what newborns did for at least a few months. She would wake them up to feed or be changed every two hours which wore them both out.

The next morning and as if right on cue, Kushina starts crying again as six o four. "Good morning Kushina." Naruto said as he yawned himself awake.
