Since I've been sick for the past week, I thought I'd cheer myself up with some drabble sweetness. I'm going to turn this into a drabble series since I think Naruto would get himself in some pretty interesting situations with this topic. Some will be sweet, some will have humor ect, but, all in all, it's about Naruto and Sakura as first time parents!

Warning: you might get a sugar high if you read this baby :)

"Sakura-chan."

Naruto was beginning to panic. He admitted to himself that he wasn't the most level headed person, but he swore he never felt panic like this before. "Sakura!"

Feet were desperately moving with speed only another shinobi could match. "What! What is it? What's wrong?" Sakura frantically stopped, out of breath and frightened by the tone of her husband's voice.

"Her, her eyes!" Naruto looked down at the baby in his arms.

Sakura's own eyes narrowed as she took in her daughter's sleeping expressions, "Yah. What about them?"

"They're twitching!"

Sakura held back the urge to pummel Naruto's head, barely.

"She's dreaming." When her husband's panicked expression changed to confusion, she elaborated, "Aki's just dreaming in her sleep. She's an expressive dreamer. Figures, considering who her father is."

Sakura's annoyed expression molded into endearment as a proud look crossed Naruto's face. She gave a contented smile as she sat on the arm of the recliner next to Naruto and their daughter.

After a few comforting moments of playing with the hair on the base of Naruto's neck, Sakura spoke, "You know, now that she's sleeping, you can set her in her bassinet."

Naruto, without stopping his goal of memorizing every feature of his baby girl's face, replied, "No, I want her to always feel warm."

Sakura might not fully comprehend his lonely past because she didn't experience it herself, but she could understand the love he had and his need to give it. She bent down to kiss the top of his head. "Call me when she wakes and wants to eat."

Naruto nodded as Sakura got up to find something around the house that needed done. She paused in the doorway, and gently smiled at the picturesque scene before her. While committing the scene to memory, she thought that maybe she wasn't the final one to entirely heal Naruto's heart… maybe, just maybe their daughter would be the heroine of his life.
