Meant to Be
Prologue
Mikoto Uchiha and Mebuki Haruno have been best friends since the academy. They both trained hard to try to become capable of being a strong ninja. They both became friends with each other because they were both so carefree and full of life, they just were a perfect harmony together.
Back in the years when they were still in the academy, you would find them practicing throwing kunai and shuriken at a tree to practice their aiming skills.
When they were finally Genin placed in their own teams, they would still train with each other and work on their chakra control pushing each other to their very limit.
And they continued on, and they were both Jōnin now, and they were still as close as ever.
Mikoto was nineteen when she got married to Fugaku Uchiha, who was slightly cold, but Mikoto loved him dearly none the less. They had a traditional grand wedding.
The following year Mebuki married Kizashi Haruno who was always joking around and he made her agree before they got married that they wouldn't have kids.
At the age of twenty two Mikoto Uchiha had her first son and Fugaku named him Itachi. Itachi meant the world to him; Fugaku treasured him with all his heart.
"He's going to be a great ninja just like me when he's older." Fugaku raved when Itachi was born. Since the day that he was born the Uchiha's lives became full of brightness.
Now that Itachi was four and was used to seeing siblings at the playground he began asking his mother if he would ever have a little brother or sister, like everyone else did.
Current Time
Mikoto Uchiha was now currently eight months pregnant and getting closer and closer to her due date. The baby could come at any moment, she was supposed to be on bed rest, but Mikoto did what she wanted and when she wanted to. She was very stubborn at times.
She was enjoying some time with her dear best friend Mebuki Haruno.
"The tea is ready, but don't drink it yet. Or you will burn your tongue!" Mebuki warned Mikito as she placed a cup of boiling hot tea in front of Mikoto on the dining room table and served herself a cup of her own as well.
"So what was so urgent that you couldn't tell me over the phone?" Mikoto pried as she stirred her tea waiting for it to cool down.
Mikoto stared at Mebuki waiting for her to answer. Mikoto always loved listening to a little gossip. She would bend over backwards just to know all the details that are going on in everyone else's lives.
"I haven't had my period in five weeks, and I usually always get it early." she took a big breath and continued ignoring Mikoto's shocked expression. Mikoto knew damn well that Mebuki was never late.
Mebuki started to feel a great relief being able to release everything that she had been keeping to herself for the last five weeks.
"I tried to wait it out to confirm it, because you know my husband. Even though he's perfect in every other way, he doesn't want kids. But I was getting anxious last night so this morning once I woke up I went to the market and bought the test. And when I got home, luckily he was already off at work probably with Fugaku. And the test confirmed it."
She paused and took a pregnancy test out of her apron and handed it over to Mikoto which clearly showed that it was positive.
Mikoto released a gasp and urged Mebuki to continue.
"I don't know what to do, all I know is that all I have ever wanted was to have my own little girl or boy, since I can remember. But I put all my dreams behind me to make him love me. But now that she is here"
She says glancing at her still small stomach trying not to break down into tears in front of her best friend.
"I want to keep him or her, even.. Even if Kizashi leaves me." Mebuki finished at the verge of tears, sucking in her breath.
At that Mikoto got up from her chair nearly knocking it down and hugged her best friend as if her life depended on it. As if she didn't she would disappear into thin air.
At the moment that Mebuki's best friend hugged her she couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
"He won't leave you sweetie, and if he does he's not worth the tears. He would be a scumbag if he left you all by yourself. And if he does you have me. I'll let you live in my guest room until you get back on your feet! I won't abandon you."
Mikoto comforted her best friend with soothing words as Mikoto rubbed her back in a slow and soft circular motion, trying to calm Mebuki down and only to stop to rub her tears away.
An hour later Mikoto and Mebuki were back to their normal cheerful selves joking around with each other.
"Gosh Itachi is going to be so excited to hear the wonderful news! Now he's not just going to have one sibling but two siblings to protect!" Mikoto smiles softly to her best friend as she rubs her already large stomach, which kept growing bigger as the days went forward.
She only had a few more weeks left, before her bundle of joy was born.
Mebuki shakes her head as she laughs.
"Oh Itachi, he's growing to be such a cute young boy. I can't imagine how protective he's going to be over them."
Mebuki and Mikoto knew damn well that Itachi wouldn't allow anyone to lay one finger on his new brother or sister.
"He's going to be such a good big brother, you must be so proud of him" Mebuki praised Mikoto.
Mikoto let out a laugh as her head fell back into the chair "We can only hope no one tries to mess with him, or Itachi will get them" Mikoto continues on giggling as Mebuki joined her.
Mikoto stares down at her stomach, and puts her hand on it feeling a soft kick. " I'm almost one hundred percent sure that it is another boy" Mikoto says to mostly herself with a soft smile. She didn't want to know the gender until he or she was born.
"In a few weeks we will know for sure!" Mebuki gave a little smirk to her best friend. "You never know, maybe I'll have a girl and our children will get married one day!"
"You never know what the future could hold. But they will most definitely be best friends like us!" Mikoto smirked now having the same hope as Mebuki. "We should head on over to Kushina and tell her your lovely news! Maybe all three of our children will be best friends!"
Kushina Uzamaki who is married to Minato Namikaze who is the Fourth Hokage was 6 months pregnant.
"That's a great idea, and I haven't seen Kushina is a few days! I'll give her a call and let her know we are on our way!" Mebuki sat up from her chair and rushed into the kitchen, grabbing the phone and dialed Kushina's number.
After the second ring a cheerful and loud voice answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Kushina, it is Mebuki! Mikoto and I were wondering if we could drop by and say hello, are you busy right now?
"Oh! I would love that, hurry on over! I'll make some ramen for you two! Get over as soon as possible, or the ramen will be soggy!"
With that the phone call ended and Mikoto and Mebuki headed on over to Kushina's house.
When they arrived to Kushina's house they don't even need to knock on the door because as they reached the door, the door swings open revealing Kushina with a huge grin on her face.
"Hello, come in, come in! The ramen is on the table waiting for you guys!" Before they could even say anything back to her, Kushina pulls them inside and shuts the door behind them.
As she leads them to the dining room they come face to face with Minato. They say their hellos but he told them he was rather busy and he apologized that he couldn't be a good host.
Kushina is loudly slurping down her ramen with no shame as she begins to speak with her mouth filled "So how have you two been, we haven't hung out like this in months!"
Kushina will never change; she'll always be a child at heart. She was so energetic; I swear that ramen must have more caffeine than coffee. Since that is all Kushina ever eats. Mikoto and Mebuki thought to themselves before answering.
"We have got some news to share now don't we Mebuki" Mikoto winked at both of them.
"Oh really? Do tell!" Kushina finally stopped eating her ramen because at this very moment she was more interested at what they were about to tell her than ramen.
"Well, you see. You and Mikoto aren't the only two to be pregnant." She grinned widely as she points to her still small stomach.
"Wait, wait, wait! WHAT?" Kushina jumped from her chair a little too excited "Dattebane! Oh my gosh! This changes everything! What if all of our children become best friends! And this is just the best news I have heard in months! I think I'm going to cry from happiness!"
Mebuki and Mikoto laughed at Kushina's childish actions. They were pretty much like the The Three Musketeers. Although Mebuki and Mikoto were closer with each other, they have been friends with Kushina for as long as they can remember.
"Only thing is I haven't told Kizashi yet. I'm afraid of what he'll say.." Mebuki admitted to Kushina ruining her vibe, because Kushina finally remembered why they haven't had tried to have a baby until now.
"Oh.. Well I'm sure he'll be happy about it Mebuki. He loves you, maybe this was all meant to be." Kushina became serious surprising almost everyone "Don't give up until the very end Mebuki, I would tell him soon. If things don't work out, it's his lost!"
The words that Kushina spoke helped Mebuki, and she decided that tonight she would confront him about what was going on.
"You're right I will have to talk to him tonight, I don't want to worry myself any longer. If he stays that lovely, if he doesn't then I guess he's not the man I fell in love with." Mebuki decided with confidence and smiled at her two friends. She didn't know what she would do without them.
"Thank you guys for helping me through this, I knew I could rely on you two!" Mebuki hugged the two very pregnant women.
A few hours later Mikoto and Mebuki headed home.
Wow, I'm like really proud of this story so far! Help me decide if Kizashi stays with her or not.
Just so you know this is going to be very different from the normal Naruto. I already know Tsuande is going to be in the next chapter or maybe the chapter after. But Naruto isn't going to be the Nine Tails, and everyone family is living!
