Hashirama

It took me days but I was finally able to get baby boy Uchiha's condition stable. His bruises were slowly starting to fade and I was able to repair each one of his bones that were fractured. Once he was inside I was able to get him to warm up within a few hours but as for his weight loss that was still a battle.

I was providing him with the nutrients he needed through the iv that was connected to his arm but it was obvious he wasn't used to eating a lot. After a certain. amount he would throw up. I eventually had to start feeding him severely times a day in small amounts.

Since he's been here no one has come by to claim him. I would never let them anywhere near him but it hurt to see him be abandoned like this. I didn't even have a name to call him by. All I wanted was to take him in my arms, hold him and take him home with me.
He'd fit in perfectly with me, Madara, and the boys.

I heard the door to the room open followed by a pair of arms wrapped around me. "How is he today"? "He's getting better, I just wish he would eat more. Has anyone come forward"? "No, everyone I talk to claims he isn't theirs".

"What about the DNA"? "No ones a match. At this rate he'll probably end up in the orphanage or foster care". "I don't want that"? I whispered. "Hashi". "He needs to come home with us. We've been the ones taking care of him since the day we found him in the river". Tears were pricking the corners of my eyes.

"Obito and Stone always said they wanted another brother right? It only makes sense to take him. So far we're the only ones that show interest in him. The poor boy doesn't even have a name. All we know is that he's a pureblooded Uchiha". Tears were streaming down my face at this point.

"You've thought about this a lot haven't you"? I nodded my head. "Why don't we go and ask the boys first. If they say yes then we'll take him home with us. We'll go buy everything he needs then name him once we're all home safe". "Thank you".

Madara kamuied us over to Izuna and Tobirama's house right away. I could sense everyone was in the backyard and headed there instead of knocking with Madara right behind me. I smiled as I watched my boys play with their one-year-old cousins Shadow and Kana.

They were so gentle with them, especially Kana. She was the only girl so they made sure to include her in whatever they did no matter how silly the game may have sounded. "Well don't the four of you look like your having fun". I smiled.

"Papa, daddy"! The boys yelled as they ran over to us with big smiles on their faces once they realized we were there. "Hi, my loves". I kissed both their heads before hugging them tight.

"Is the baby feeling better"? Obito was the first to ask. "He is but he'll still need a lot of care before he's a hundred percent better, that's part of why daddy and I came here. We wanted to ask you both if it was ok if we adopted him"?

"We wanted to make sure it was ok with the two of you first". Madara said. "You mean it"? Stone asked. "Mhm, the two of you can even help pick out his clothes and toys". "What are we waiting for then let's go"! Stone said excitedly.

"Thanks for watching them for us"? Madara said addressing his brother and Tobirama". "It was no trouble at all". Tobirama smiled.

Madara and I waited as the boys ran inside to pack their things, once done we all said our goodbyes and headed to the nearest baby store. The boy's eyes sparkled as they looked at all the different baby clothes and toys. Seeing them like this assured me they would love their new little brother.

If they didn't they wouldn't show any interest at all. The first thing we went get were baby blankets that were located right next to the baby clothes. Madara went pick out clothes while I helped the boy's pick out blankets.

I wanted to do my best in assuring he wouldn't get anywhere near to becoming hypothermic ever again. The first time I saw him open his eyes he cried as soon as he saw me. I could tell he was scared. He didn't know me and probably thought I would hurt him like his parents did.

He was probably crying for his parents as well. Despite hurting him they were more than likely the only ones he felt safe around. I did my best to soothe him and after the second day with him, he warmed up to me.

After we selected the blankets and clothes we wanted we placed them all into the shopping cart Madara had grabbed when we entered. We headed down to the food aisle and stocked up on baby formula, bottles, pacifiers, and bibs.

We always knew we would want more kids after the boys were born so we kept the high chairs and cribs we had for the boys as well as the nursery. I let the boys pick out the toys they thought their brother would enjoy on their own.

After we had everything we needed we paid and left. Madars Kamuird everything to our house before kamuing us to the hospital. It wasn't until we arrived there that I became pissed. I saw the elders heading towards the room my son was in and made a B line for it.

I wasn't worried about Madara and the boys catching up to me I knew they would. I just needed to make sure I got there first and I did. I was the first to arrive in the room thanks to the secret entrance I used. Once inside I made sure it was safe to take my son out of his incubator and smiled when I saw that it was.

I opened it and gently took him into my arms. He protested a little since I was disturbing him but nuzzled up to me nonetheless. "Hi little one, did you miss me? I missed you. Guess what, I'm going to take you home with me along with your new daddy and two older brothers.

Their names are Stone and Obito, I'm sure the three of you will get along great". I said softly. The door opened but I continued to look at him. "Lord Hashirama, you're here. I thought you were out with your husband and sons". One of the elders said.

I looked up at him with a protective look in my eyes. I wasn't going to allow them anywhere near this baby. "Why? So you could send him off to the orphanage without me knowing"?

"That's preposterous". Another one said. "Is it"? "We just wanted to come see how the baby was doing is all". One of the women said. "My son is just fine. He's coming home with me today".

"I don't think that's wise my lord. I understand you've grown attached to this child but he's not yours". The leader of the group said. "And, just because he's not blood doesn't mean he won't be treated as such". Madara said stepping into the room.

He stood behind me as our sons held onto me. "DNA only means your related, love is what makes a true family". "As if you're capable of loving someone". The female scoffed. "If I didn't love him Hashirama wouldn't have married me and gifted me two beautiful sons but you can believe whatever it is you want.

My family and I are going home to name and care for the newest addition to our family and there's nothing any of you can do about it or did you forget my husband's Hokage"? They just glared at him.

Madara Kamuied us home right away, I headed to the couch with the baby still in my arms, grabbed the puppy print blanket we had bought, and wrapped him up in it. The boys came sit next to me smiling at their brother as Madara handed me one of the pacifiers we bought.

I gave it to him and he started sucking on it right away. "What do you think of Shisui"? I asked as Madara sat behind me with his arm over the couch. "I love it, it's perfect for him". "Welcome home Shisui".
