"Okay okay. I give up. You'll get your mission!" Naruto eventually hissed, throwing his arms in the air in defeat. It had come to the point where Sasuke even dared to threaten him about never having sex again if he didn't get a mission. So what was a blond to do but not give in?
You see Sasuke was a jounin but had not had a mission for a very long time. The reason to why; he had been… pregnant. I know I know. You may go all 'WTF? Men can't get pregnant. It's against all nature. You're mocking mother nature! Yadda yadda.'
However, one day when Sasuke had been out for a walk in the woods, he had met a fairy. The fairy had told him it would grant him one wish if Sasuke promised not to tell anyone of their encounter. Sasuke had silently nodded and started playing with the thought of what to wish for.
Sasuke figured he was pretty content with the way his life already was, although there was one thing he regretted. He wasn't able to revive his clan.
The Sharingan ability could only be passed down if the 'mother' was of the Sharingan and seeing as there were no women left from the Uchiha clan, the possibility of restoring the clan had been reduced close to 00.01 percent.
So Sasuke had thought real hard until he had come up with the ultimate wish! He had wished that he could become… pregnant! He had smiled to himself at his cleverness and the fairy had only shrugged and then tapped its wand on Sasuke's shoulder one time. After that it had disappeared and since then had Sasuke been fertile.
So back to the story.
Sasuke smirked in triumph. After many days of nagging and threatening his dear lover, he had finally succeeded. He was going away on a mission! "But what are we supposed to do with the kids?" Sasuke's smirk quickly disappeared to be replaced by a frown. That, he had not thought of yet...
"I know Shunsuke can be alone, after all he is 8, but what about Kei-chan?" Naruto continued. "He's only three. We can't let Shunsuke take care of him. He's busy with school and I'm quite sure he won't agree to take days off from the academy when they're finally learning about ninja weapons."
Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows. 'A couple of days?' He repeated in his mind, totally ignoring the rest of what the blond was saying. "What do you mean by a couple of days? I meant at least a month's long mission!" The raven haired youth glared at the blond.
Naruto shrugged. "Whatever. First of all Sasuke; you haven't been on a real mission for a very long time (4 years) so you shouldn't start with a month's long mission. I know you're quite capable of handling yourself, but it's routine. Second of all I don't have enough time to take care and raise our children all alone. You knew what you got yourself into when you gave birth to Shunsuke no matter how young we were. And thirdly, I am Hokage therefore what I say, goes."
"Bu-" Sasuke started but was cut off by Naruto continuing his long speech. "Still, if you even want to consider taking on this mission, you alone will have to come up with a solution to the kids problem."
Sasuke opened his mouth, determination clear in his eyes, but was yet again cut off by the other. "Don't even think about it Sasuke."
After having spent over 15 years together, Sasuke knew he'd lost. The blond had become tougher with time and the winy-loudmouthed brat he had known at the age of 12 was almost gone now. However, being the stubborn person he was, Sasuke glared at his lover as he curtly confirmed his orders. "Enjoy the couch tonight... Hokage-sama."
Naruto cringed as he watched the back of Sasuke leave his office, having Sasuke as a lover was anything but easy.

"Tadaaaiiima" Sasuke half yelled, half said as he entered his house.
"Okaeri Sasuke-kun." Sakura came walking from the living room with Kei in her arms. "Look who's home Kei-chan, okaasan." Sakura said in a baby voice. "Haha! Kei want haha!" Kei giggled as he held his arms out, indicating that he wanted over to Sasuke's arms.
Sasuke frowned at the pink haired girl before turning to Kei smiling and then taking him in his arms, placing him on the hip.
"You know, it's your entire fault why they call me 'haha'! My so called friends and lover!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Oh lighten up genius. It's only a name and for the record, it suits you." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and then began to put on her jacket. "Um, Kei-chan just woke up and Shunsuke came home from the academy a couple of minutes ago. I believe he's in his room. Oh and I think Kei should have some food 'cause he hasn't eaten since you left this morning. Okay, see you later sometime." She flashed him a toothy grin and then practically ran out of the door.
"Sakua's in hurry." Kei giggled to himself. Sasuke rolled his eyes at his giggling child and closed the front door. "Should we listen to Sakura and have some food, Kei-chan?" He questioned and upon receiving a nod walked to the kitchen. "Okay then."
He placed Kei on one of the chairs as he walked over to the fridge. Opening the door he stuck his head inside to see what they had. "What does Kei-chan want to eat?"
xx
"And one spoon for daddy." Sasuke wiped away some food from Kei's cheek. "Shall we go again?" He loaded the spoon with spaghetti and mincemeat sauce and repeated the same action. "And here comes a spoon for.."
"You know mom, Kei can eat by himself. Shouldn't you have stopped doing that long ago?" Shunsuke, his 8 year old son questioned while taking out a coke from the fridge. "Also, it makes you look ridicules."
Sasuke raised a fine brow and stared at his son indifferently. "Do I? Hn, I never heard any complaints when it was you I fed. If you want to be grouchy go to your room, I can't help it if Kei likes it when I feed him, right Kei-chan?"
Kei grinned at his mother and nodded. "Kei likes haha do one spoon."
"There you go." Sasuke said, smiling proudly at his youngest son. "By the way don't drink right out of the can Shunsuke. We have glasses for a reason not just for decoration."
"Jesus, bitchy much?" Shunsuke commented with a frown before taking a glass from the cupboard.
Sasuke's eyes slightly narrowed as he stopped feeding Kei. "Excuse me?" He questioned
"It's nothing." Shunsuke mumbled, deflecting it with a hand motion.
But nevertheless Sasuke continued as he already knew what the other had said. "I don't want to hear that language coming from you, you got that?"
Shunsuke rolled his eyes. "Yeah whatever."
"Shunsuke, don't use that tone with me!"
"I heard you!" Shunsuke confirmed. "Anyways, do you know when dad ends today?"
Sasuke cleaned his second son and then helped him off the chair. "Um, around dinner time I think. Why?"
Shunsuke shook his head. "We were training shurikens in school today and I was only second best. That damn loser Nakashiwa beat me with one. Only two more and I'd proven to everyone I'm better than him! I need dad to help me so that next time I'll kick his ass for su-!"
While listening to his firstborn talking, Sasuke's eyes followed Kei on the floor. Noticing the boy was about to pull down the kitchen curtains he accidentally cut Shunsuke off in mid sentence as he called out; "Kei don't pull that! It will fall." Proceeding to walk over to the boy, he forced the boy to let go of the curtain. He then looked back at his oldest son, but realized it was too late.
"Thanks for listening!" Shunsuke angrily crossed his arms and stomped away.
"No, Shunsuke, wait! I was listening!" Sasuke called after him. "I just can't have all of my concentration on you right now." He quickly followed the young boy and caught up with him once outside his bedroom. "But you should know 'tousan's busy. He probably can't help you today but if you want help maybe I could make do?"
"No you're only interested in Kei! You never have time for me." Shunsuke muttered and then proceeded into his room, slamming the door after him.
"Shunsuke that's not true! You know- Hey! Don't just slam the door in my face you hear me?"
Xx
Naruto opened the front door expecting to see a small cub come running and glomp him to near suffocation, however was surprised upon finding the hallway empty. He removed his shoes and took off his jacket. Then he hurried into the kitchen where he figured Sasuke was. "Hey Sasuke, where's Shunsuke?"
Sasuke turned around from the stove, a weird look on his face. "Well, he got kinda grumpy after our argument. And nice of you to say; 'Hello Sasuke, How have your day been?'" He said sourly, his previous anger from the day coming back upon seeing his husband.
Naruto grinned and snuck up behind Sasuke and embraced him. "Maah, don't you too become grumpy now. You know I love you, Sasuke." He then spoke with the sweetest voice he could muster.
Sasuke shivered at the sudden embrace and tried to push his lover off to no avail. "Get off idiot! That's gross."
Naruto didn't let go but stopped with the sweet voice. "What were you fighting about koi?"
Sasuke sighed. "Well, he wanted you to train him in how to throw shuriken, 'cause they had that today and some Nakashiwa kid beat him to first place. So then I said that you probably would be busy with work and he said that we never have any time for him and so he slammed the door in my face. I sort of yelled at him 'cause of that. I don't know but, maybe you should go talk to him?" Sasuke gave Naruto a mixed gaze of confusion and worry.
"Sure I'll do that." Naruto grinned and let go of Sasuke. "But first I have to say hello to my little devil." Walking over to the chair where Kei sat, Naruto lifted him and put him on his hip. "How have your day been cutie? Had a fun time with aunt Sakura? Been nice to mommy?"
"Tou-san!" Kei's eyes shone bright. "Mm, Kei-chan be good to mommy." He stated proudly.
"That's my boy." Naruto spoke proudly and gave him a last hug before putting him back down.
"I'll go talk to him now. When's dinner ready?" Naruto asked hungrily.
"Um about 5 minutes. Bring Shunsuke down with you will you."
Naruto nodded and took off to his oldest son's room.
xx
Naruto knocked on the door. Once. Twice. Knocking a third time he grew tired of waiting and just opened. "Hey champ." He greeted once inside. "Playing video games again I see."
"I never said you could come in." His son spoke in a very voice much like Sasuke's.
"Yeah so that's why I came in. You don't think I'd stand there all day?"
"I know. You're too busy." Shunsuke mumbled, never taking his eyes off the flashing screen.
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows and sat down by his son. "I-… Shunsuke, I know it might seem like we don't care but we do. Sasuke and I both love you but you must understand that your brother takes a lot of your mom's time, you did too when you were his age. Also I'm the Hokage… The village needs me and no matter how much that sucks, that's how it is. We try to spend as much time with you as we can but right now others need us too. Therefore you can't be selfish. I know we didn't raise you that way either."
Shunsuke paused the game and looked up at Naruto. "But what if I want to be selfish? What if I wish Kei wasn't here and for you to not be Hokage? I want it to be only me, haha and chichi again."
Naruto pulled the boy into his lap. "You don't wish that. You should know how lucky you are to have a sibling. I never had one when I grew up and Sasuke only had your crazy uncle. To have a sibling is a good thing you know."
Shunsuke stared at his father as if the man was an idiot. "Oh yeah.. a good for what?"
Naruto stared dumbfounded on the other as he couldn't come up with a good answer. Instead he took the conversation to a different subject. "You know what?"
"What?"
"You know how haha's been all moody ever since I told him he couldn't go on missions?" The blond paused and waited for the younger boy to nod. "Well he finally nagged me into giving him one so I thought you and me could spend a whole day together while aunt Sakura takes care of Kei. Would you like that? We could train ninjutsu."
"You mean that dad?"
"Would I lie?" Naruto chuckled as he ruffled his son's blond hair.
Shunsuke jumped up and hugged him. "Thank you dad!"
"Your mother told me you had shuriken practice at school today. Do you want me to show you some neat tricks later?"
"Yeah!" His son answered enthusiastically until remembering what his mom had told him earlier. "But 'kaasan said you were busy." He reminded in annoyance.
"Yeah I heard him say that too… But you know what, what if I say I'll help you a while after dinner. Would that be okay?"
Shunsuke nodded eagerly. "Yes! daddy's much better than mom!"
Naruto sniggered. "You think so? Ha, thank you son." Standing he held out his hand to his son. "What do you say, should we go down and grab some food now It's gyoza."
Shunsuke felt himself drooling. "But if you're going to eat you'll have to apologize to mommy. Okay?"
A mumbled yes was heard as he took his father's hand and was pulled up on his feet.
xx
Sasuke was slightly sulking. He had told Naruto dinner would be in 5 minutes and then he never came!
"DIIIIIIIINN-" Just as he was about to yell, he was cut off by Naruto walking into the room with their son under his arm.
"No need to yell 'Suke! We're here now." Naruto said calmly and put Shunsuke down.
Sasuke sighed angrily. "I told you dinner was supposed to be in 5 minutes and you come after 10! Now the food is cold!"
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows at the other's weird reaction. Something trivial like that didn't usually piss his lover off. He was used to him being late. "What's up your ass? Are you pregnant?"
"What?" Sasuke frowned at the sudden turn of their conversation.
"Well you are acting like an oversensitive female on PMS at the moment, chill why don't ya?"
Sasuke glared hard. "Congratulations, you just took idiot to a whole new level." Feeling his shoulders tremble from the anger he tried to suppress, Sasuke threw his arms in the air and rushed over to Kei. "You know what? Fuck you!" He then took Kei from his chair and left the kitchen with angry steps.
Once his mother was gone, Shunsuke tugged at Naruto's shirt. "Oi dad, I think you pissed him off even more."
Nodding absently, he answered. "You know.. I think so too"
xx
After he had trained with his son and left Sasuke to cool off, Naruto eventually found himself outside their shared bedroom, knocking gently on the door.
"Get lost dead last" A muffled voice was heard through the door which made Naruto roll his eyes. Entering the room he was met with Sasuke lying on the bed with Kei resting on his stomach. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked feeling a bit guilty over how Sasuke hadn't eaten because of what he had said.
Sasuke sent him a glare before facing away with a slight pout on his lips.
Watching his plan fail, Naruto tried a different way of approaching the raven haired man. "You know, when we were in the kitchen and I asked you about the pregnancy, um I really do wonder. 'Cause you've been acting really moody these last couple of days."
"Urusai dobe!" Sasuke sneered as quiet as he could - after all he didn't want to wake up his sleeping son, making Naruto recoil. "I don't want to hear another word from you, Stupid! I can't help it if I'm 'moody' as you so kindly put it. If you would be at home taking care of a 3 year old, then you'd also be like this! Constant laundry piles that never seem to disappear, always watching out for Kei while cleaning the rest of the house. And to top it off; your oldest son thinks you don't care about him and there's nothing you can do about it because you just can't find the time! It's exhausting! But for the record, no I'm not pregnant again jerk!" By the time he was done, he was yelling so loud that Kei had accidentally woken up. "And now you just woke up Kei, satisfied?"
Naruto stood dumbfounded. He had come up to the raven to make up, not piss him off even further. However, the other's moodiness only added proof to his previous suspicion; Sasuke was pregnant once again.
The only thing which made him doubt himself was as far as he knew, Sasuke had no morning sickness. When he had been pregnant with Shunsuke and Kei, morning sickness had been a real pain in the ass for the poor Uchiha. Therefore Naruto decided not to push his lover more than necessary. He sighed in defeat and drew his hand through his hair.
"If you're going to be like this I'll leave again. I have paperwork to do that's far more important than fighting with you." And with that said, Naruto left the room.
What he never saw was the pain that reflected in Sasuke's eyes as he had said 'more important'.
xx
As he walked down the hall towards his study room, he stumbled into Shunsuke who was coming from the kitchen holding a coke. "Shunsuke!" He exclaimed surprised.
"Dad!" Shunsuke looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. "Has mom chilled down yet?" he asked anxiously, hoping the subject would take his father's mind off of what time it was. He knew his bedtime had exceeded long ago.
Naruto smiled and shook his head no, taking the bait. "Not yet, but I'm sure it'll be over soon enough. You needn't worry."
Shunsuke nodded his understanding. "Okay. Good luck dad." He spoke and then took a step closer to his room. Hopefully he'd make it...
Naruto thanked his son then looked at the big grandfather clock beside him. "You're going to bed now, right?" He questioned.
Shunsuke sweat dropped as his plan failed. "Uh, dad is it okay if I just-" He tried meekly but was cut off.
"No, it's already 9PM." Naruto objected. "You get ready for bed now, okay? You have school tomorrow."
Shunsuke sighed but didn't object. He knew when his dad was serious. "Oyasumi."
"Oyasumi."
xx
Thinking he'd wish his otouto a quick goodnight, Shunsuke entered his little brother's room but realized he wasn't alone in doing so. Standing beside his brother's bed was his mother. The two stared at each other during an awkward moment before Shunsuke turned to leave. He was still angry with his mother for yelling at him earlier, but as he heard the other sniffle, he froze.
Turning around, he looked closer and saw his mother's eyes were puffy and red. "Are you sad haha?"
Sasuke continued to look at his son indifferently but soon a small smile visited his lips. "No, it's nothing." He drew his hand through his hair. "Um, how did it go with the training? Did Naruto teach you any neat tricks?"
A wide grin spread on his son's lips, which reminded him of a younger Naruto, as he talked rapidly. "Yeah! Dad showed me some tricks and stuff! I hit the target 10 out of 15 times! Dad said I'm really good too and that next time I'm sure to beat Nakashiwa!"
Sasuke's smile widened with pride. "Oh so that's what dad says. Well you are an Uchiha aren't you?" Sasuke started to walk out of the room shortly followed by Shunsuke. "Talent runs in your blood. However, now's not the time to talk about that. Shouldn't you be in bed already?"
"Yaah, dad already told me... He said I should go get ready. But I wanna watch some TV first, please mommy?" He pouted and used the best puppy dog eyes he possessed.
Sasuke looked into the pools of his son's eyes and sighed. "Sure but don't stay up too late. I'm going to go talk to your dad. Good night Shu-chan."
"Night."
xx
Naruto sighed. He was tired of signing papers. After a load of them, his wrist eventually started to crack every time he moved it. He put the pencil down and put his head on the table, resting if only for a while. 'Maybe I should go sleep… I could always do this tomorrow…' Naruto thought, considering his options, however was interrupted by someone suddenly knocking on the door. "Come in." He said as he retook the pencil into his hand and signed the paper in front of him.
A raven colored mop of hair, soon followed by the whole face of Sasuke, peered through the small opening. "Can I come in?" He questioned as his voice came out insecure.
Naruto looked bewildered at the Uchiha before nodding. "Uh, Yeah."
Sasuke slipped in through the small opening and closed it carefully behind him. "Err.." He looked down at his feet with a slight blush and then back up at Naruto. "I… uh.." his voice betrayed him and he went quiet, not quite knowing what to say.
After a minute of silence Naruto grew impatient, he really wanted to finish his work so that he could go to bed. "What Sasuke? I don't have all day." His words came out harsher than he had meant, but was too tired to correct himself.
For a second, sadness lingered over the Uchiha's face but it soon turned indifferent. "W-well I guess it can wait…If I'm not important.." The last was said in barely a whisper not meant for the other to hear, he then moved to leave the room but got distracted by Naruto telling him to wait.
"What do you mean 'If I'm not important'? Of course you're important bastard. You're my husband, the 'mother' of my children?" Naruto said somewhat pissed and confused. His lover was acting way too weird.
"I am?" Sasuke asked quietly.
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows feeling more lost than he had ever felt before. Sasuke was just acting odd. "Come here Sasuke…" Naruto spoke, his voice calm. He then patted his lap, indicating that the Uchiha should sit down of which the brunet complied to without objections.
"What's wrong with you? You're not acting yourself recently…" Naruto started but wasn't sure on how to continue.
Sighing Sasuke looked down at his lap and fiddled nervously with his thumbs. "I…I told you before… It's stress and.. You know… Kei takes so much time.. "
"Are you telling me you regret having Kei?"
Sasuke pouted slightly and then looked away letting a mumbled reply slip through his lips. "No, I don't regret it."
"Goo-" Naruto started but was cut off. In less than two seconds had Sasuke thrown his arms around Naruto's neck and started to cry. 'Okay, this just gets more and more absurd.' Naruto thought.
"Uh Sasuke, what's this? Why are you crying?"
Sasuke only burst into new tears and buried his head in the crook of Naruto's neck. "Y-you're angry with me… A-and I'm trying my best n-not to let my mood get out over you b-but I can't help it. It just builds up a-and bursts… I don't want you to hate me. I-I'm so sorry." He said between sobs as he nuzzled deeper into the crook of Naruto's neck, deep inside feeling ashamed for what he was doing. This was not the way an Uchiha was supposed to act goddammit!
Naruto looked at his spouse, his eyes sad. 'He really thinks I hate him… W-what made him believe that? I fucking love him with all my being!'
"S-Sasuke, I'm not angry with you. I don't hate you. I don't care if you let your anger out on me, I still love you more than anything. Nothing could ever make me stop loving you. I'll never let you go just coz of some stupid argument. Never doubt my feelings for you, 'cause I promise you; the day you said I do, I was tied to you."
Sasuke looked at his lover with puffy red eyes and saw the sincerity in the other's sea blue eyes. "Y-you mean that, Naruto?"
"Hai, koi."
Sasuke let out a last sob and wiped his nose with his hand. "Come to bed with me Naru-koi?" He asked softly as his arms tightened around his lover's throat.
Naruto looked at his husband and let his confusion be covered by a soft smile. "Yeah sure.. This paperwork can wait until tomorrow. Gonna jump off?"
Sasuke ignored the blond's request and instead closed his eyes and nuzzled the other's neck.
"Hey, do you think I'm about to carry you to our bedroom? You're not that light you know! Even though you are pretty thin… You should probably eat more, Sasuke"
Sasuke ignored his lover's ramblings and kept his eyes closed, slowly drifting off for sleep.
Realizing the raven wasn't about to move, he did the only thing a man could do in that situation. He carried his spouse to their shared bedroom and there carefully put him down on the king sized bed. "Koi, you tell Shunsuke go to bed?" Sasuke sluddred tiredly, not caring to talk in a correct manner.
Naruto nodded but seeing as Sasuke's eyes were closed added an almost non-audible yes.
xx
A tan hand knocked once on the hard wood, before twisting the door open to his oldest son's room. "Oi Shu, weren't you supposed to have gone to bed half an hour ago? Didn't I tell you to get ready for bed?" Naruto spoke with frustration.
His son looked at him with mischievous eyes. "Haha said I could stay up watch TV."
Naruto frowned in disapproval. "Maybe he did, but I told you to sleep. You should've gone to bed a long time ago. Now I hope you'll listen to me and go to bed right away, understood?"
Shunsuke pouted and crossed his arms over his chest, letting his dad know he didn't agree on the treatment. "B-"
"No buts," Naruto cut him off, "I said go to bed. Night Shu." And with that he turned off the light and left the room.
xx
Once he was back in his room, he stripped down to boxers as silently as he could and carefully slipped down under the covers next to Sasuke.
"'uo 'ave to be s'noisy?" a sleepy voice mumbled.
"I can't help you have super hearing." Naruto grumbled but smiled nonetheless. "Gomen."
Sasuke huffed. "Hn.. Shu 'sleep?'"
"Mm"
"'ood"
"Night koi."
Sasuke rolled over and cuddled up to Naruto's warm body and laid his head on the man's chest, letting the slow rise and fall lull him back to sleep.
At the end of the day, Naruto was 94 percent sure his spouse was pregnant again.
Xx
Black orbs flickered open as Sasuke stifled a yawn. Searching for the clock which should've stood right beside him on the bedside table, he noticed it was gone. Looking around him he soon saw it lying shattered in 100 pieces on the floor. 'Great we'll have to buy a new one again.' He thought with a groan.
He turned to Naruto's side to let him know about the clock but found his space empty. 'Already up?' he thought amused before jumping off the bed. As he stood stretching his sore muscles he noticed how his legs were trembling. Today was the day he'd go on his first mission for four whole years, and the thought alone left him feeling slightly anxious. Pulling on a clean shirt and a pair of sweatpants, Sasuke then proceeded downstairs to the kitchen.
There on the table laid the morning magazine with a cup of steaming hot coffee placed by its side. Sasuke searched the room but couldn't find his lover anywhere. Suddenly he was being pulled into a hug from behind. "Morning, Suke-chan!" A cheery voice greeted him.
Sasuke hit the blond in the stomach with his elbow and grunted. "How many times Naruto? I'm not a girl." He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down by the table.
"Maah, grumpy already Sasuke? You know it's not good for the soul to always be this grumpy. It doesn't hurt to smile every now and then." Said Naruto before falling back on his seat.
Sasuke hn'd and took a sip of his coffee.
"But to change subject, how are you feeling Sasuke? Ready to go on a mission after such a long break? I know more than well that you can handle yourself but you know I'm a bit worried, but I guess you can handle a B-rank together with Neji for about a week and a half right?" Naruto rambled on.
Sasuke threw him a glare and took another sip. "I could've done it all by myself thank you. I'm just going to deliver one scroll."
Naruto laughed yet chose not to reply on his spouse's comment. He knew the raven could handle himself, it was just that if he was pregnant he didn't want to expose Sasuke to any unnecessary danger that might cause a miscarriage. But he couldn't tell Sasuke, seeing as the Uchiha was 100 percent sure he was not pregnant.
Xx
He was on his way to the Hokage tower. There he was going to meet up with Neji and get the information needed for the mission by Naruto.
A nauseating feeling had planted itself in the pit of his stomach. It had been there since he had said good bye to Shunsuke and Kei. Although it felt nice to finally get out of the house the thought that he was going away for almost two weeks made him long for his return. This was the first time he had be away from his sons for so long. As much as he hated to admit it he had become a so called 'housewife'. He was worried that something would happen and that he wouldn't be there to take care of it. He couldn't protect his family if he was away on some stupid mission. 'God. This is going to be harder than I thought it would be.' He damned his pride and own stubbornness. 'Why did I ask for this?' The worst part was that he knew he couldn't back down. The blond would never let him live it down if he did.
He grit his teeth in frustration before straightening once outside the door leading into Hokage tower. It was going to be fine, a week and half wasn't that long, right?
xx
"So you'll help me then Neji?"
"Of course Hokage-sama. Though I can't understand why you would let him on this mission if you even suspect he's pregnant. If it was me and Hinata-sama was pregnant I would've never allowed it. What if something happened to him and the baby? What would you do then with the knowledge that you killed your own child?"
Naruto frowned as he leaned against the back of his chair. "Well I guess that's a risk I have to take. It wasn't you who was being nagged and threatened about. If I could choose I wouldn't have sent him at all. But I think that this is better for him and me. But I hope I can trust you to help him and if anything dangerous would happen you'll put him to safety. I don't care if you bind him to a tree. Just keep him away from danger. Okay?"
"Yes Hokage-sama, I promise."
"Good." Blue orbs focused on the clock on the wall. "Sasuke should be here any minute now. You can activate your Byakugan and if I'm right. Just… nod to me or something."
And just as he'd finished his sentence, a knocking sound came from the door and a raven haired male came through the door.
Neji's eyes searched and within a second, he found a second chakra. A knowing smirk made its way to his lips as he turned to Naruto and gave a short nod. He then went to stand beside Sasuke.
Naruto's lips curled up into a wide smile, he was gonna be a daddy again. There was nothing in the world that could compare to the happiness of having a child. Nothing. Mouthing a thank you to Neji, his eyes turned serious. "Neji and Sasuke, on this mission you are to deliver a very important scroll to a lord in water country. You'll be-" (insert unnecessary information) "-And you are expected back approximately within a week and a half. Are there any questions?" Naruto waited but received no objections. "Good. You're dismissed."
Folding the mission folder together Naruto put it away. "Sasuke, I'd like to have a word with you before you leave. Neji will wait outside."
Upon receiving a nod, Neji bowed and left the room.
Naruto then stood from his seat and went to stand before Sasuke. He gently let his hands circle the raven haired's waist as he pulled him closer. He didn't want Sasuke to go but he didn't want to piss the Uchiha off by telling him he couldn't. 'Why do you have to be so stubborn?' He questioned in his thoughts.
Sasuke let out a sigh and placed his arms around the blond's neck. He nuzzled his nose into the crook between head and shoulder and breathed in the scent of Naruto. He didn't want to go anymore but his pride wouldn't let him back down and ask for a replacement. 'This is going to be harder than I first thought.'
"Is something wrong Sasuke?" Naruto asked in an unusually low voice once noticing the sudden difference in his husband.
"No." The shorter man answered curtly but then corrected himself in a softer tone so as to not make the blond suspicious. "I mean, no I'm just moody about getting such a short mission."
Naruto chuckled, genuinely amused and kissed Sasuke on the lips. "Have a great mission." He then let go of him and turned back to go sit behind the desk.
Sasuke's eyes followed the blond dejectedly. "Uh, take care of Shunsuke and Kei… Kei can be a bit troublesome when it comes to sleeping, but just give him his favorite plushie and he'll be okay... Also, please don't just eat ramen while I'm away. I don't want them dying from too much unhealthy food."
Naruto pouted. "Maah ramen's not unhealthy. It's good for you, just look at me. I've managed just fine even though I eat it every day!"
Sasuke smirked then turned to leave the room. The faster he left the sooner he'd be home. "Yeah right, perhaps that's where you got your brains from?"
Both Naruto and himself noticed the lack of heart in the insult. Yes, this was going to be two long weeks.
