It was early.
Barely dawn.
The mist still clung to the corners of the Harem Seal House, curling through the open windows like gentle fingers. Birds chirped. Somewhere, a tea kettle hissed.
But inside the private bathing chamber…
Hinata Hyuuga stood frozen.
Her hand trembled above the mirror seal that glowed faint lavender, the detection script hovering just above her stomach.
Chakra presence confirmed: two signatures.
Her own.
And one more.
Small.
New.
Growing.
She sat down on the floor.
Naked.
Shaking.
One hand slid to her lower belly.
The seal glowed again.
There was no mistake.
Naruto's child… was inside her.
Ten minutes later, the entire house was awake.
The air buzzed.
Ino stood at the doorway, biting her knuckle.
Sakura paced in slow circles, face pale, mouth shut tight.
Sasuko leaned against the wall, eyes cast low.
Tsunade sat silently, watching them all with careful, unreadable calm.
And in the center of them all—
Hinata knelt, hands resting on her thighs, tears slipping down her cheeks.
"I didn't plan it," she said quietly.
"But I knew. The moment he came inside me. I just… knew."
Naruto stepped forward.
His robe hung loose over his shoulders, his face blank from shock.
And then?
He dropped to his knees in front of her.
Hands to her cheeks.
Tears in his eyes too.
"You're sure?"
She nodded, lip trembling. "It's… it's you."
He pressed his forehead to hers.
Held her tightly.
And the moment broke them both.
Sakura turned away first, jaw clenched.
Ino's eyes shimmered with envy and ache.
Sasuko stepped out silently.
Tsunade closed her eyes.
And Hinata?
She only whispered two words into Naruto's shoulder:
"Thank you."
That night, the house was silent.
No moans.
No riding.
No teasing.
Just Naruto curled around Hinata, his hand over her stomach, her head under his chin.
She was first.
And nothing would ever be the same.
