Note: Thanks for the reviews everyone on AFF.net!!!! I appreciate it immensely. I’m glad you all like the story so far. Sorry it took me so long to update, the stupid site wasn’t working so I couldn’t upload my chapter ~sad~ but it’s ok, cause it’s working now so yay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
After the doctor’s visit, and the confirmed diagnosis that Naruto was indeed pregnant, Sasuke Naruto and Iruka found themselves outside of the hospital. They were all just thinking to themselves, contemplating the situation and reflecting on their thoughts.
Naruto was certain at this point that he would be moving out of Iruka’s house. Not that he wanted to get away from his father. It was just the fact that he wanted to be close to Sasuke, the father of his child. He wanted to see Sasuke everyday and be able to be with him and sleep next to him. He didn’t know how to break the news though. He knew his dad was expecting him to move out, but he probably didn’t expect it to be so soon. Naruto wanted to move as soon as possible. He also contemplated on what he and Sasuke were going to tell Itachi. He knew that they would tell him anyway, but he wondered how the older Uchiha would take it. He hoped that Itachi would still want to be with him, even though he had gotten pregnant, and from his brother no less. He decided that he would tell Itachi either way, and whatever happened, happened. He turned to his father and was about to tell the man his thoughts when Iruka beat him to it.
“I expect you want to move in with Sasuke and Itachi as soon as possible right?” Iruka asked as he looked from Sasuke to Naruto.
Naruto was shocked to say the least. He didn’t expect his father to come right out and except the fact that he was going to move out. All he could do was nod and stare dumbfounded at his dad.
Sasuke was a bit surprised as well. Although he knew Iruka had not fully come to terms with Naruto being pregnant, he thought he would be overprotective and demand that Naruto stay at home. There was an awkward silence that followed Iruka’s decision and Sasuke decided to break it. “We should go, Naru. We need to let Itachi know what’s going on and talk to him about it.” He wasn’t trying to be rude to Iruka by leaving so suddenly, it was just that he wanted to get Naruto alone so he could really talk to his blond. He had a feeling Naruto needed a good talk.
Iruka nodded in understanding. “Alright, Naruto, do you need help moving?” He figured it was time to let Naruto live his own life. He was going to have a baby after all. He needed to stop being so overprotective and let Naruto be who he wants to be.
Naruto looked at his father and they shared an understanding look between them. Naruto knew that this was his dad’s way of saying that he was letting Naruto off the leash and out into the world. “I don’t really have that much stuff. I have a lot of things at their apartment already.” He said as he looked down with a nervous smile.
“I should have figured that.” Iruka said with a smile as he looked at Sasuke. “Listen, Sasuke, I know you and I haven’t really gotten to know each other very well. I know you’re good for Naruto, and I know Itachi is as well. Just be sure to take care of him alright?” He knew Sasuke’s answer already; he just wanted to hear the Uchiha say the words.
Sasuke nodded. “Of course I will.” he knew he didn’t need to say more. Iruka just needed some reassurance. Sasuke didn’t blame him though, under the circumstances. He grabbed Naruto’s hand and gave it a tiny squeeze. “Ready to go, baby?” he asked the blond.
Naruto nodded and looked at his father. “I’ll be by probably tomorrow to start moving. I’m just too tired today.” he said as he leaned forward to give the man a hug.
“Alright Naruto, you go home and rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.” he said. He let go of Naruto and waved to the two boys as he headed off to his car. He was going to go home and find some comfort in his own lover.
Naruto leaned his body against Sasuke’s side. He was so exhausted from the whole day, and it was only ten o’clock in the morning. “Can we go home? I’m really tired Sasu.” Naruto pleaded. He felt like he was going to cry again. He didn’t know why, he just felt he needed to cry. He saw Sasuke nod and followed him to the cab that they had called a little while ago. He sat in the back seat with Sasuke and waited for the driver to pull out of the parking lot before he spoke. “Sasuke, how are we going to do this, I mean, I have school. I can’t just quit because I’m having a baby. But considering how I’m feeling now, I’m probably not going to be up to going a lot.”
Sasuke thought about that for a moment. “You could always tell your professors what’s going on. I’m sure they’ll understand that you won’t be able to come to class everyday.” He figured that could work, only if Naruto was willing to go to school at least once in a while.
“I guess. I don’t know how to tell everyone. I mean, I know some men can have babies, but no one really knows that I can. It just never really came up in conversation.” Naruto wasn’t embarrassed about the fact that he could bear children. He was proud of it actually. He just felt a bit awkward telling people right off the bat. He figured it he knew them long enough, they’d eventually find out.
The cab pulled in to the driveway of their apartment building and the two got out. Naruto waited patiently while Sasuke paid the driver. Naruto grabbed Sasuke’s hand once it was in reach and they headed up to the apartment to tell Itachi what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Itachi looked up from his spot on the couch as he heard the door open. He was anxious to know what was going on and why Sasuke had been so worried earlier. He looked over at Naruto and noticed the blond had dried tear streaks marking his cheeks. He really wanted to know what was going on. He waited a bit while the three just stared at each other. Itachi finally growing tired of the whole thing gave his two boyfriends a hard look. “…well, what the hell is going on?”
If the situation wasn’t so serious, Sasuke would have laughed his ass off at his brother’s outburst. Itachi was usually so composed and in control. Considering that the moment was not to be taken lightly, he refrained from such trivial jovialness. He looked over at Naruto for a moment, who gave Sasuke a small nod, confirming that Sasuke could say it. “Naruto’s pregnant.”
Naruto still wasn’t used to hearing those words. He unconsciously clung to Sasuke’s sleeve and tried to calm himself down. He was afraid to see Itachi’s reaction. The last thing he wanted to do was drive his older lover away.
Itachi wasn’t very surprised. He figured it would probably happen, considering what happened at Gaara’s party. He motioned for both Sasuke and Naruto to join him on the couch. Once he had Sasuke cuddled into his side and Naruto securely in his lap, he spoke. “I’m happy for the both of you. Even though you’re still young, I know you’ll make good parents. And you know I’ll always be here to help if you need any.” He didn’t want to scold his lovers’; after all it could have been him in the same situation. He knew that Sasuke would be happy for him and Naruto. “So what did Tsunade tell you?”
Naruto sighed and let himself relax in the comfort of Itachi’s warmth. He loved cuddling up with Itachi. He was more inclined to cuddle than Sasuke usually was. “First she made sure that we wanted the baby.”
Sasuke tensed up at the reminder of the little episode. Naruto went ballistic, crying and accusing Tsunade of thinking that Naruto would be a bad parent. It was just a huge mess. Sasuke was able to calm Naruto down after a while and return to a somewhat normal conversation.
Itachi nodded. “Well, it sounds like you’re going to keep it right?” Itachi already knew the answer; he just couldn’t believe this was actually real.
Sasuke nodded in answer to Itachi’s question. Then he continued where Naruto left off. “She pretty much just told us what to expect during Naruto’s pregnancy; morning sickness, fatigue, mood swings, frequent urination, and headaches. Just to name a few. He’s going to be seeing her every trimester. So in about two more months he’ll go again.” He thought about all the symptoms Naruto would likely go through while he was pregnant. He wasn’t sure how he would be able to handle the blond under those circumstances, especially with the mood swings. Naruto was already pretty emotional as it was. Adding tons of hormones to the mix, it was scary to think about.
Itachi was pretty much thinking along the same lines. But then again, he was always able to handle the emotional blond. “Did she talk about what will happen when it’s time for you to give birth?” he asked Naruto as he stroked the other boy’s hair.
“She just said it will be a C-section. Obviously I can’t give birth the natural way. But she didn’t go into too much detail about that since it’s pretty much eight months away.” he said quietly. He was falling asleep in Itachi’s arms and he almost didn’t catch the question. He let his eyes close and drifted off to sleep after he got a look from Itachi that clearly said ‘go to sleep’.
Itachi looked over at Sasuke once he noticed that Naruto was asleep. “How are you doing with all this?” he asked gently. He knew that Sasuke had a bit of a hard time handling delicate situations like the one they were facing. He grabbed Sasuke’s hand and held it gently, stroking the back of it with his thumb.
Sasuke just shrugged. He had a whole lot of emotion and feelings about the subject. He just wasn’t very good at voicing them. Plus he really didn’t feel like talking a lot, he hadn’t been feeling too well for the past few days. He thought that it might be a good idea to see a doctor about it. “I’m doing alright. It was just sort of a huge shock for me. I still can’t believe I’m going to be a parent. It’s just, really weird.” he said as he rested his head on Itachi’s shoulder.
Itachi noticed how tired Sasuke had been for the past few days and was a bit worried about him. Sasuke rarely ever got sick, so he had a right to be worried. “Are you sick Sasu?” he asked as he let go of Sasuke’s hand to press it to his brother’s forehead.
Sasuke, in any other circumstances would have shoved the hand away and glared at being coddled. But at the moment, he didn’t really care. “I don’t know. I’ve been feeling like shit for a while. I’ll probably make an appointment tomorrow.” he said as he stood up. He figured he might as well try to get some sleep since he had class the next day. “I’m going to sleep for a bit. I don’t think I’ll eat dinner, I’m not very hungry.” He leaned down and gave Itachi a quick kiss on the cheek. If he was sick, he wasn’t about to infect his brother. He ran his fingers once through Naruto’s hair before heading off to the bedroom.
Itachi just nodded and gave Sasuke a kiss in return. He watched as his younger brother went into the bedroom and shut the door gently. He didn’t know what to think. Sasuke was not acting like himself at all. It could have been from the shock of the day and all the stress that came with it. He doubted it though. Sasuke seemed fine when he first came in with Naruto. So what could be wrong with him? He decided to think about it later and turned on the TV. ‘Mindless television, now that’s more like it.’ he thought to himself as he let himself get lost in the images on the screen. He figured he’d just watch TV until Naruto or Sasuke woke up. Someone probably would in a couple hours. He wrapped an arm around Naruto’s sleeping form that was still nestled in his lap and let himself relax.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
In the bedroom Sasuke lay on the bed trying to sleep, but he was distracted by the pain in his stomach. He didn’t know what was causing the pain. He hadn’t been eating differently. He had been getting sick also usually after he ate. Luckily Naruto and Itachi had not witnessed that little aspect or they’d be on his ass about it, and he really didn’t need that at right then. He turned onto this side to try and relieve some of the pain. He had been suffering this pain ever since he was at the hospital with Naruto. He thought it was just nerves at first. But now, it was really worrying him, considering how long it has been present. He told himself that if the pain didn’t subside within the next couple hours, he would have to go to the emergency room, because he frankly didn’t know how much more of it he could take. He was also starting to feel a bit nauseous, and that was never a good sign. He closed his eyes and tried once more to fall asleep, hoping, yet again, that he would succeed.

A twist…Don’t worry, everything will become clear in the next chapter…I just hope you guys don’t kill me. But don’t worry, character death was not in the warning…Sasu is safe from the murderous intent of my muse. Until next time.
