Fugaku looked at him sternly.

"No Sasuke. You two are not meant to be together."

"But father…"

"I will hear no more of this. You're leaving to America tomorrow, and you will forget this ever happened. You will do your duty as an Uchiha and contribute to the growth of this company. That is final."

Sasuke clenched his fists. He looked sternly at his father. He won't win this.

"If you do not do as I say, you already know what will happen to that friend of yours…"

Sasuke looked at his mother who was standing at the corner together with Itachi, his brother. He looked back at his father eyes wide.

"You don't mean…"

"Yes, Sasuke… And I could do more…"

Sasuke slammed his palms on his father's desk. This was too much! His father would stop at nothing just to get what he wants and just to make things happen.

"YOU DO NOT TOUCH HIM! YOU DO NOT TOUCH NARUTO OR HIS FAMILY OR WHOEVER IS CLOSE TO HIM! YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM! YOU MONSTER!"

Mikoto clasped a hand on her lips in shock. Itachi just looked at them with a blank face. He could understand how his brother was feeling. Having his life planned for him without giving him any choice as if he was some robot with no aspirations and feelings. He could understand it well. If it were up to him, he would do something, but it's not. Now his little brother has to make a choice.

"I promise you their safety. His safety, if you promise to do as I wish."

Sasuke was staring at nothing, eyes wide, almost teary eyed.

"Yes. Of course. Father."

With that, he left the study, without even saying a word. He did not want this. He wanted to be with his dobe more than anything in this world. But he was an Uchiha. Uchihas have everything except choice. He didn't have a choice. He has to leave him before anything else happens to him. He already lost his parents, he can't lose everyone else. No. He has to go, everyone else has to stay for Naruto. He on the other hand, has to leave.

"I'm sorry Naru…"

He whispered to himself as he stared at the window looking at the rain.

Meanwhile, at the hospital a blond man was called in for some emergency.

Naruto was sitting at Tsunade's office hands clasped together, feeling really nervous. He's been waiting for some news since forever. And finally now, his grandmother has something.

"Get up brat!"

Naruto stood up as if on a spring. He looked worriedly at the blond lady inserting his hands in his back pocket.

"Well? What is it Granny?"

Tsunady handed him the papers she was holding and sat on her chair.

"Congratulations. It worked. You're going to be a father."

Naruto couldn't believe what he was looking at. They have been trying and trying for years, and now finally they made it. A baby!

"You will be under a lot of monitoring from now on. And since this is experimental, I don't want you to get your hopes up for this working, since you will be the host. We did create the egg from your stem cells, so we will see how it will hold. For now, I guess you'll be carrying that little brat inside you for 9 months."

Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing. It worked. All the hard work and research paid off! He just stood there still looking at the papers but not really reading it. He was starting to get emotional and tears started forming at the brim of his eyes.

"Be careful with yourself now…"
Tsunade warned.

Naruto just ran up to her and hugged her saying a million thanks to her and drenching her shoulders with tears and who knows what.

Now the only thing left for him to do is tell that Teme of his. Tell him that their dreams are finally coming true. He was so filled with joy that he just couldn't speak the words. Uknown to him this certain Teme of his is now starting to pack his things to fly to America first thing in the morning, and they will never see each other again. Or so they though…
