Baby Tracker: week 1-5
Sasuke sighed heavily, rubbing the bridge of his nose a bit. This was still taking him quite a bit of time to absorb. So Naruto is pregnant and someone intentionally wanted him this way. Surely Gaara didn't want a child rght now, if ever. He shook his head lightly, trying to collect his sanity. He wondered how Naruto was taking this. "How did you break this to Naruto?" Sasuke asked skeptically of the Hokage.

Tsunade raised a brow of disapproval. How dare Sasuke question her as though she could make a mistake? She was the Hokage. There wasn't much she could do wrong even in this situaiton. "I merely told him he was pregnant, as anyone would say. There is no way to beat around the bush like that for a boy you know. And I told him he was just about 2 weeks along, rather early for a symptom of nausea but still possible.

Sasuke paused heavily. "2 weeks?" He looked down uneasily. It wasn't possible. There was no way Naruto was like that during the time he slept with him. What was he so worried about? But just in case... "Tsunade...how long can a sperm live inside the body?" he asked.

Tsunade blinked at the question. She wasn't expecting Sasuke to show interest like this in such a subject but she spoke regardless. "A sperm can live 3-7 days though the average time is 4 days. Why do you ask?"

Sasuke's eyes nearly popped out of his head and he choked violently on his breath. "You've got to be kidding me!" he screamed out, which was unusually uncharacteristic of him. He was normally a calm, collected guy in situations that didn't involve his brother, but at the very thought of having a child with Naruto how could he possibly remain stable?!

Tsunade was taken aback by the sudden yell. She rubbed the back of her had nervously. "What has gotten into you two? Naruto asked me the same thing and had about the same reaction..." Tsunade paused. Her eyes narrowed instantly and before she knew it, she had Sasuke pinned against the wall, his collar clutched tight in her fist. "You perverted bastard! You slept with Naruto didn't you?!" she hissed, clearly enraged. Naruto was like a little brother to her she couldn't let a prick like Sasuke ruin his life any more than it already was. She was rather happy when she heard Gaara and Naruto was an item. It had given her hope that Naruto would finally be happy. But thinking now that Naruto could possibly be pregnant with Sasuke's baby at the same time of dating Gaara was a recipe for disaster. There was no way this could end well if that were the case. And personally she didn't think Sasuke was even a good enough match for Naruto. Something about him never rubbed her the right way.

She glared at Sasuke a little longer but the teen held his gaze strong; trying not to seem intimidated though he was lightly quaking in his pants. He knew Tsunade could reduce him to saw dust if he didn't anything more to aggravate her. Finally she let go, hissing as she did so. "You better fix this Sasuke. If that child is yours you going to have to be the best damn father or I'll bite off your self-righteous head before you can say 'sorry', got that?" Tsunade growled. Sasuke firmly nodded. "Good. I have no idea how Gaara is going to take this but it won't be pleasant. None the less, I will be sending both of you back to Suna to announce the news in person. It's best to get this over with before he gets too much farther along" she insisted.

Sasuke sighed once more and nodded, straightening his collar a bit before coming over to check on Naruto. He hoped the dobe was furious; otherwise he would stand no chance of getting back on his good side. He opened the door slowly, expecting to see Naruto sulking in the hospital bed. "Naruto...I-" he paused when he looked into the room and fond the sheets of the bed pushed back and the curtains blowing lightly in the wind from an opened window. He ran away...

"Dammit!" Sasuke hissed, rushing to the window and jumping out. He was going to track down that little idiot and give him a piece of his mind. He couldn't go about doing whatever the hell he wanted with his or Gaara's child inside of him!

This had to be the absolute worst day of his entire life! He never thought he could possibly be pregnant with Sasuke's child much less pregnant at all! What happened to marriage or even planning?! Why was he the exception to every natural law of the world?! And this time Kyuubi had nothing to do with it! Naruto was in a state of panic and frustration.

He jumped from another roof top, being slightly more careful and alert about his method of travel now that he had two lives to care for. "I hope Gaara doesn't hate me" he whimpered at the thought. He already couldn't stand the thought of loosing Gaara for just a couple of weeks or months because of his work but now there was he worry that Gaara would leave him entirely because he was having someone else's child!

In his brief moment of fear, he landed on a loose shingle of a house. Instantly the shingle broke, sliding off the roof and causing Naruto's imminent loss of footing. Quickly he kicked off the wall of the house and landed back on the roof, panting softly. "Hah...I still got it" he retorted somewhat proudly. He wouldn't let some pregnancy turn him into a helpless ninja.

"If you still had it, you wouldn't have fallen in the first place" Sasuke retorted smugly as he jumped over. He wasn't surprised to get the glare that he did from Naruto. "Look, I'm not here to lecture you or even rub it in your face, I just want to get you home in one piece if you don't mind. I don't feel very secure leaving our child's life in your...slightly unstable hands" Sasuke mentioned.

Naruto sneered and moved forward. "You're such an asshole! I can't believe something like this is happening all because you couldn't keep it in your pants! Hell, I'd be happy if it was just Gaara's baby not yours!" Naruto yelled out furiously.

Sasuke felt a slight sting of disappointment. "Why do you hate me so damn much? I thought you liked me just as much as I like you before anything like this even happened! What have I done that was so different from before?! I haven't changed Naruto, you have!"

Naruto growled and without thinking into it, he rushed over, tackling Sasuke onto the roof, knocking him down. Naturally Sasuke was not about to put up a fight against a pregnant idiot. "I can't stand you! You only want to love someone when its convient for you! You never let me know for a second you liked me until you thought you would lose me to Gaara! What was I suppose to do?!" Naruto hissed, pounding into Sasuke's chest. He couldn't put as much force as he wanted into it because his chakra was already weak and truthfully...he didn't want to hurt Sasuke.

Sasuke sat up, lightly grabbing Naruto's shoulders. Without warning, he pulled the blond into a forceful kiss. He wasn't too surprised when he didn't find Naruto pulling back. Sasuke reluctantly broke the kiss to look back at Naruto. He was greeted with the most frustrated and angry glare he had ever seen the blond give. "Just listen to me for once Naruto..." he mentioned uneasily.”I know this must be scary for you hell I'm sure you have me now more than ever. But the truth is I love you no matter how much you grow to despise me. And if this baby really is a part of my blood, I will take care of it and you with every fiber of my being. If it is Gaara's child then...I will give up on you...only if Gaara fully accepts this child and you and swears on his pathetic life that he won't make you unhappy a day in your life" Sasuke demanded.

Naruto's face flushed lightly at the explanation. Even though he often tried to deny it...Sasuke really did feel passionate about him. He sighed heavily. "Alright...but you can go kissing or touching me however you please!" Naruto yelled out, shoving Sasuke back. "I'm not a stupid girl. Just cause I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm helpless and easy to seduce" Naruto re-enforced.

Sasuke smirked lightly and stood up. "I'll try to keep that in mind when you are waddling around the room like a penguin" he chuckled at the image.

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled once more.

Sasuke shook his head. "There is one thing I absolutely will not accept during this pregnancy. You will, under no circumstances be living alone Naruto. You're staying at my house for the time being so I can keep a careful eye on you. Kami knows you would probably give birth to a piglet after spending nine months of only eating ramen" he insisted.

"What's wrong with ramen?!"

"You need nourishment you idiot" Sasuke mentioned, flicking Naruto on the nose playfully. "Don't worry; I'll take care of everything."

Sasuke walked back with Naruto the rest of the way to his house. "Tsunade said we would need to travel into Suna to give Gaara the news in person before you get too far along. But I want you to rest up at least a week before you do any traveling like that" Sasuke insisted.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "What are you worried about? The baby is probably nothing more than a tadpole right now. It isn't going to fry up in my stomach from over exposure to the sun" he retorted. Naruto unlocked the door and let them both inside. He might as well start packing. Most likely Sasuke was going to make him stay that week at his house which would be pure horror in Naruto's opinion. Who wanted to deal with an overprotective Sasuke?

Sasuke went ahead and grabbed a couple of suitcases. He came over to Naruto's closet and started putting the teen's clothes inside. "I'm sure Tsunade is telling Kakashi and Sakura about this right about now. So don't overreact if everyone starts treating you differently" Sasuke warned.

"Oh shit. This is just great. I don't want to be the charity case of the whole town. Sakura can't keep her month closed for a minute!" Naruto shook his head in disappointment. Well this was just lovely...

Sasuke chuckled lightly. "Look on the bright side. Ichiraku might just let you have your ramen for free now" Sasuke teased.

"And what go is that if you want let me eat all I want! You're a cold, heartless, ramen-hating bastard you know that Sasuke!" Naruto complained. The blond smiled lightly when he came to his bed. He picked up the pillow Gaara had used during his stay here and held it close to him. He was definitely taking this with him. The baby needed to know the scent of his own father right? At least he was hoping Gaara was the real father.

To Be Continued...

A/N: Yay, chapter two is up and I kept my promise of a weekly update. I hope you all enjoyed it. The story should get a lot more interesting and fun from here on out. I put up a baby tracker at the beginning of the fic so we can all keep up with how far along Naruto is. Don't worry I won't be doing one week per chapter, that would take much too long and we all probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.

Just for the fun of it, I'm accepting request now of anything you might want to see in this fic so far. If you want to have Sasuke make a move on Naruto at the house, then suggest how =3 If I like your suggestion enough you might just read it in the next or upcoming chapters. So leave a review! I'll see you guys next week!
