Baby Tracker: Week 6-8

Naruto could feel his heart simply sinking into his chest. What could he possibly do? Those simple words had brought tears to his eyes rather easily. He kept assuring himself that he was just overreacting. He couldn’t possibly be hurt by neutral words like that. It had to be the hormones, he was no sissy. He wanted to believe so badly that he had nothing to worry about. Gaara would be perfectly okay with him having a baby.

He stared down at his trembling hands, now being sprinkled with drops of tears from his eyes. Maybe coming here was a bad idea after all. But what more could he do? He certainly couldn’t expect Gaara to be happy with the news after being too much further along. He quickly wiped away some stray tears with his arm and stared at the door, wondering when Gaara would be done thinking and return to him.


Gaara sighed heavily, marching out of the building and to the back. He didn’t know what to think right now. He couldn’t possibly be overjoyed with this. Boys weren’t suppose to get pregnant! There were so many things he needed to consider now. He listed everything in his head…the negative far outweighing the positive. For one thing, he was terrible with people. Gaara knew he was anti-social and had hard enough time getting this far with Naruto and now he was expected to be a parent?! What did he know about parenthood? He never had a great example of his own to learn from and Naruto, being without parents from birth certainly wouldn’t know how to be a good parent either! They were both terrible candidates for this job! They both had spirits in them for crying out loud! They weren’t reliable enough to are for a baby not to mention they were still rather young to be parents. Naruto wasn’t even eighteen yet! Well sure it would be less than a year away before then but that was besides the point.

Even worse, this was a terrible time for a baby. Konoha was still recovering from Orochimaru’s attack and he was surely to make a return, not safe for a baby to be around. And with their relationship as it was now, they both couldn’t care for the child at the same time. Long distance parent-ship seemed like a stupid idea. Gaara groaned heavily. He was Kazekage…he already had to look after the entire village of Suna but now would be responsible for becoming a good parent as well? Naruto definitely couldn’t have sprung this up on him at a worse time.

“Lord Gaara?”

“Gah!” Gaara suddenly yelled out, actually startled for probably the first time in his life. He had never been so concentrated before that he completely blanked out his surroundings. It scared him to think this was how serious the matter was. He turned around slowly, trying to regain his composure as he noticed Megumi approaching.

“Lord Gaara, you look pale as a ghost. What’s wrong?” she questioned, trying to sound somewhat sincere though she was more curious and nosey than concerned.

Gaara was still in complete shock. He couldn’t think too rationally right now. He was already losing his mind and spoke before thinking. “ I can’t believe he’s pregnant. As if everything else wasn’t hard enough” he huffed out in frustration.

Megumi looked at him sternly, though internally she was in complete shock. Pregnant, she noticed the little blonde was looking on the plump side. Though she could imagine how it was even possible for him to have a child it seemed very believe if even Lord Gaara would take it as the truth. She suspected maybe the kid was pretending just to get some sympathy, money, power, or support. She was just about to make a suggestion of that fact to Gaara when suddenly someone else beat her to speak.

“Lord Gaara!” a shin obi quickly rushed over to the Kazekage. “We need you permission on a course of action. The suspicious shin obi on the outside of the village have escaped surveillance and two of the guards have been found dead. They must be within the village sir” he retorted.

Gaara’s eyes widened and he snarled. Was everyone so careless today? “Hurt them down and kill them of course!” he hissed. “Forget it, I’ll take care of it myself” he hissed. If anything was to be done around Suna, he had to do it himself. He looked to Megumi briefly. “Please tell Naruto I will be back soon” he demanded before rushing off with the lower shin obi. His parental crisis would just have to wait until the village of the sand was safe once more.

The brunette was at a slight disadvantage having been interrupted but suddenly perked up the moment she was given permission to talk to Naruto. Well…this would certainly be interesting. She smirked lightly and walked slowly back into the building and down the hall. It didn’t take much thought for her to come up with exactly what she would say.

She stopped at Gaara’s room and firmly knocked on the door. There came a meek voice from the other side of the door asking who it was. She cherished the thought of the boy being worried about Gaara. No doubt Gaara had frightened him with his rash departure. She step inside, not even being so polite as to avert his naked form, scarcely covered by the blankets on the bed. “I come with a message from lord Gaara” she retorted professionally. “I’m afraid he gives you the best of his regards but refuses to take any further part in this problem of yours” she chirped, inwardly laughing. “Gaara apologizes on the behalf that he is Kazekage now and he already has enough weight on his shoulders. Taking on the role of a father would not only ensure he would be unable to properly do his job as Kazekage but he would also ruin the childhood of the baby not to mention your child will be met with multiple dangers if anyone were to discover it was the child of the Kazekage. It is a hostage situation just waiting to happen he explained. He would have liked to tell you in person, but Gaara simply can not look you in the eyes right now and has gone off on his own” she replied.

Naruto looked pale and dead. He didn’t know what was being said. Well sure he heard it but he didn’t…know it…that Gaara could be so cruel. Sure the baby could be Sasuke’s but that didn’t mean he had to abandon it! And so what about the position of Kazekage, wasn’t his own flesh in blood slightly more important? Though Naruto had to admit he could understand the reasoning of putting a nation before just one person, even if it was their child. He looked down, tears starting to roll down his cheeks as he squeezed the blankets in his grip. “Gaara…”

Megumi nodded in apology. “I’m so sorry about this. I’ll leave you be now. Though….it might not be wise to remain here when Gaara returns” she mentioned before stepping out of the room. As soon as she closed the door she smirked devilishly to herself. This was too easy and way too much fun.

Naruto sat there, just staring off into space as his thoughts crashed into one another. Gaara didn’t want to claim their child. He didn’t want to be with him. He couldn’t handle the responsibility? No that just didn’t make any sense. He couldn’t believe any of this until he heard it from Gaara’s very own mouth. Though the thought of hearing Gaara say any part of that to him face to face was enough o break his spirit. He rushed up from the bed, grabbing his clothes and throwing them on as quick as possible. There was no way he would just leave Suna without talking this through. He had to go find Gaara now and he hear what he had to say for himself.

The blond dashed out the room, though he had no idea where Gaara could be. He simply followed his gut. But this had to be wrong. Somehow he ended up beyond the boundaries of the village. Gaara hadn’t gone out this far had he? It had him a bit concerned. Though this uneasy feeling in his gut may not have just been bad intuition. Naruto sneered in discomfort as his run steady down to a walk, his feet starting to drag along the sand. Darn Suna for being malnourished in greenery. Everything looked the same out here.
“Gah!” Naruto quickly dropped down to his knees, clenching his stomach. It hurt so much right now and he couldn’t explain it. Maybe leaving the village was bad idea. “Gaara…” he whimpered out before dropping in the sand…unconscious.

His hands were trembling and his heart was pounding in his chest. Just about every nerve in his body had gone numb from shock and fear. He didn’t know what he would do if Naruto actually turned up dead. What was he even thinking being out there in the desert all alone. This was his fault. He should have never left him. And now…now…now he was

A medical nin stepped out of the room and gave him a small smile. “Everything will be alright Uchiha-san. Naruto will be quite fine. But I would like to explain some things to you in private” she replied.

Sasuke felt a huge weight be lifted off his shoulders and sighed out heavily as he stood form his seat. He walked over to the medical nin, hoping what she had to say wouldn’t mean bad news in the future. Maybe it was something Naruto had that wasn’t going to get worse till later or perhaps something was wrong with the baby. Just that thought made him tremble. “Yes?”

“Is it safe to assume…the matter of…Naruto’s pregnancy is associated with you?” she asked briefly, her face a faint red. In other words, was he the father.

Sasuke frowned a bit since he couldn’t answer with what he always wanted to. “I believe me and Gaara are both held responsible for Naruto’s current situation at the moment” he mentioned reluctantly.

She blushed even deeper, unsure of how to take that and how to react. “Oh…well…maybe I should wait for Lord Gaara’s return before bringing this up” she mentioned.

“Bringing what up?”

Sasuke turned quickly, his eyes narrowing as he noticed Gaara coming into the medical ward. Surely a shinobi of his had already reported to Gaara to return here to address the situation. “Did something happen to Naruto?”

Sasuke snarled venomously. “Damn you! I found him passed out in the middle of the dessert no doubt looking for your pathetic ass!” Sasuke snapped. “I knew I shouldn’t have let him go anywhere with you. What did you say to him?!” Sasuke hissed.

Gaara was shocked to here this. What was Naruto doing outside of his room? He had toke Megumi to tell him to wait. He frowned, suspecting Megumi had failed to get his point across some how. “I told him I need time to think…after what he told me” Gaara confessed, feeling partially to blame for this. He looked to the woman with worry. “So how is he” he asked nervously.

“My, my look how you’ve grown Naruto” a dark chuckle came from a male form standing above the unconscious patient. He was dressed just as any medical nin but in just seconds, the face appeared as one all too familiar. White hair, glasses….Kabuto. He lightly pulled back the blankets and pulled up Naruto’s shirt. The bulge there was a bit more define. “I can’t have you messing this up for me any more…” he retorted. slipping out a needle from his carrying case. He lightly felt the boy’s stomach and quickly injected another suspicious dose of clear liquid. Pulling it out he tauntingly kissed the taunt stomach and retook his disguise before walking straight out of the room.

The woman smiled lightly. “Well there is some good news. On the upsetting side, Naruto passed out because of a chemical disturbance in his body. It seems his body was trying to reject the developing fetus. It seems even though he somehow took on the womb, it is an unstable development and so the body will continue to try this until it becomes familiar with the abnormality. On the good side, the fetus is still intact and the rejection had failed” she mentioned.

A sigh of relief came from both Gaara and Sasuke. Though Gaara was still very unsure if he wanted this child at all he’d rather the problem be solved in a less harmful way to Naruto. Sasuke was just overjoyed. The possibility of his child still alive was enough to comfort him. The medical nin smile warmly. “How would you two like to see the baby?” she asked warmly. Their eyes widened.

“We can do that?!” Sasuke blurted out.

“Of course” she chuckled. “The fetus is finally far along enough to be seen with a chakra ultrasound” she mentioned. “Come one, lets see for ourselves” she insisted, leading both stupor males into the room with Naruto.

When they stepped inside they were awestruck to find Naruto finally coming out of his rest. “Oww…my stomach feels like I got kicked” he pouted as he tried to sit up. The lady quickly came over, laying him back down. “Don’t move, you need more rest. You just avoided an unfortunate incident. You’re baby is going to be fine. In fact we are all in here to see. Would you like that Naruto?” she asked in a soothing voice.

He looked up at her in confusion then back around the room. He blushed lightly seeing Gaara and Sasuke both there. What could he say now? He wanted to speak with Gaara but not in front of everyone else. He meekly nodded and relaxed again. He felt uneasy as the two father candidates came and stood by him.

She pulled out a monitor and attached a wire to her own wrist. Lightly lifting up Naruto’s shirt, she hovered her hands above him. His hands started to glow with chakra as finally an image started to appear on the screen. All eyes watched it silently, not knowing what to look for here exactly.

“There you go Naruto, that’s your baby, this small ball of chakra right here” she mention. “And…oh….I didn’t know…” she gasped softly.

“Know? Know what?!” Naruto gasped out.

“You’re having twins….”
