Naruto x destiny ( she is sasukes twin sister who is Naruto’s fiance and 8 months pregnant currently, they are all at least 20-24 years old ) Destiny was exhausted. Not tired. Not worn out. Exhausted. The kind of exhaustion that settled into your bones and made even breathing feel like work. Fifteen hours. She’d been in labor for fifteen hours. Contractions. Pain. Breathing. More pain. No sleep. No rest. And now… Nearly five hours of pushing. Still no baby. The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of monitors. Sweat soaked her hair. Tears stained her cheeks. Her entire body shook with exhaustion. She couldn’t remember the last time she wasn’t in pain. Every muscle burned. Every breath hurt. Every contraction felt impossible. “Okay, Destiny.” Sakura’s voice was gentle. “Another contraction is coming.” Destiny immediately burst into tears. Not dramatic tears. Not frustrated tears. Broken tears. The kind that came when someone had absolutely nothing left. “No.” Her voice cracked. “No more.” Naruto’s heart shattered. For fifteen hours he’d stayed beside her. Not once had he left. Not for food. Not for sleep. Not for anything He’d held her hand through every contraction. Every scream. Every tear. Every moment. And now she looked terrified “I can’t do this anymore.” “It hurts.” ⸻ Naruto immediately moved closer. ⸻ “Hey.” ⸻ She shook her head. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Another contraction built. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Her voice rose. ⸻ “I’ve been pushing for hours!” ⸻ Tears streamed down her face. ⸻ “Almost five hours!” ⸻ The room fell silent. ⸻ “Why isn’t he here?” ⸻ No one answered. ⸻ Because there wasn’t an answer. ⸻ Sometimes labor was simply hard. ⸻ And Destiny had already been through more than most people could imagine. ⸻ Another contraction hit. ⸻ “Push.” ⸻ She couldn’t. ⸻ Not because she didn’t want to. ⸻ Because her body genuinely felt like it couldn’t. Destiny collapsed back again
