Sasuke's P.O.V.

"Now kiss me you stubborn teme." There I was, kissing the love of my life. The perfect moment. The perfect kiss. I can't believe, after all that's happened, Naruto wants me back. He actually wants me. Me! Words can't describe how incredible I am feeling right now. Bliss. That was the best moment of my entire life.

We kissed and kissed and kissed until the ambulance arrived at the hospital. The medics took Naruto and Minatachi for an exam and to make sure they both were okay, leaving me alone in the hallway. I clutched my heart, nearly staggering as I watched my loved ones get wheeled out of sight. Tsunade walked up to me, surprising me a bit.

"Minato called me from the field, told me you saved the day, looks like the little Uchiha brat has finally grown up." She said patting me on the shoulder.

"Tsunade…"

"Yes dear?"

"I think… I think I'm having a heart attack." I said collapsing to my knees. Tsunade started barking orders at nurses then thumped me hard with her glowing hand to my heart. It hurt, but then a few moments later, I felt my heart begin beating normally again.

"Cardiac arrest is more like it, although had we not caught it sooner, your heart may have ripped apart with any more stress. Jesus Sasuke, what sort of stress did you just experience?"

"A life altering one." They hooked me up to a bunch of machines and monitored me, taking blood and giving me ace inhibitors, blood thinners, and anti-arrhythmic drugs. The same cocktail I was forced to take when I was seven. Luckily my body is stronger now and this trauma wasn't as severe. Luckily.

"Alright Sasuke, your exam went well, but take it easy alright? I need you on those medications for the foreseeable future. At least until your heart gets stronger. But since you are still conscious and not flat lining, you can go see him now." Tsunade said.

"Thank you so much." I bowed gratefully then slowly made my way to Naruto's super secure hospital room.

"Do not overdo it!" I just need to see him, see the love of my life and my heart will heal on its own. I walked into the room and he looked tired, Minatachi sleeping next to him in a bassinette with blue blankets.

"Hey dobe." I said with a blush, walking towards him.

"Hey teme." He said closing his eyes slowly and taking my hand. I kissed his hand softly before pulling up a chair next to him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, losing Kurama just took a lot more out of me than I ever would have imagined. Tsunade said I'm gonna have to stay here for a couple of days."

"I won't leave your side… that is… if you want me to."

"I would really like that teme."

I blushed again, "dobe." I kissed him on the cheek, pulling away just before Naruto's parents came in with Mikoshina.

"Daddy!" Mikoshina said, running to me, giving me a huge hug. Ouch. I took a seat once more before my heart had to work any harder to keep me alive.

"Hey you guys made it safe." I said acknowledging Minato and Kushina.

"I want to see my sister!"

"Well Miko… your sister is actually your brother, Minatachi." Naruto said softly, gently taking our newborn out of the crib and holding him. I put Miko on my lap so she could see him.

"He's so little! Look at his whiskers! He's so cute! Look Gram Gram! He has my eyes and hair!" Mikoshina said with awe. My hair and Naruto's eyes more like it, but now seeing him all cleaned up, he certainly had more of Naruto's features than Mikoshina does. That being said it's pretty obvious he's still my child.

"Congratulations baby." Kushina said as she and Minato moved to hug Naruto warmly. She then took him from Naruto and checked his seal. "Wow, that was very well done. Good job Minato." She giggled.

"Actually dear, Sasuke did it." Minato said stroking my son's cheek. She raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"I can't take all the credit, Minato walked me through it."

"Even still, it was all Sasuke's chakra, he did well." Did… did Minato just compliment me?

"Thank you sir." We talked for a while longer, Naruto's friends came to celebrate and congratulate, and eventually everyone went home, Naruto's parents taking Mikoshina back to their house until Naruto gets out of the hospital. After they took Minatachi to the nursery, Naruto and I had some alone time. As crazy as this day was, there was still an elephant in the room we had to discuss.

"So do you want to talk about…" I trailed off.

"Us?"

"Yeah…"

"Do you want there to be an us?" I'm not great at expressing how I feel, but I can't take being away from Naruto any longer.

"Yes. I want there to be an us, a we, an ours…"

"I do too…" He looked away. His fidget was gone. Maybe that was Kurama telling him something.

"But?"

"How do we do this? How… how are we gonna…"

"We'll figure it out."

"Sasuke… I'm worried."

"Worried?"

"I'm worried that I'm going to fall for you all over again and you're going to break my heart." My heart broke. Maybe even physically a bit too. I've hurt him so many times… I can't blame him for being cautious.

"There is no rush… for anything. I know my word isn't good for much, but I can't lose you again, I want to be the best partner and father for this family, I won't mess up again. And if you can't trust that, let me gain your trust back. We can go slow, we don't have to get married tomorrow or ever if that's what you want. We can just be us, take our time, take it slow. No pressure."

"You'd be okay with that?"

"What's the point in rushing into things? I want you Naruto, and I'm willing to wait as long as you need." He looked down, thinking it over. I gave him a small smile as I watched his beautiful eyes figure out and ponder things.

"I do want to go slow… I can't rush into a marriage again… but I do know you're the one I want to be with…" I wanted to prove to him how serious I was about starting this, so I pulled a classic Naruto on him. I got on one knee, took his left hand, playing with his ring finger as I made eye contact with him.

"Naruto Uzumaki… will you date me?" His smile got so big as he blushed, cracking up laughing.

"Yes, teme, I will date you."

"Dobe." I blushed as I kissed him. I have Naruto back and both of my kids are healthy and safe. My life is now perfect.

Naruto's P.O.V.

"So, although his kekegenkai allowed him to heal quickly, I don't want him running around chasing Mikoshina or over exerting himself in away way." Tsunade scolded Sasuke.

"Yes lady Tsunade."

"And no sex! Not for six to ten weeks!" My jaw dropped but Sasuke put his hand over my mouth subtly.

"Yes ma'am." She nodded and let Sasuke wheel me to the car where Miko was waiting in the back. He loaded Tachi, and then helped me into the front seat. Sitting on my ass is not a very fun activity these days. When we were all set Sasuke started driving to my condo. We haven't told anyone we're back together yet; call it a trial run. Everyone pretty much knows we are, but we don't want to officially tell people until we are sure we can make it work. But that didn't stop Miko from being curious.

"So Dad, is Daddy gonna stay with us?" Sasuke laughed. Why do I always get all the hard questions?

"He's gonna stay for a little while and help out until I get back on my feet."

"And then he's gonna move in right?" Sasuke, please, please take this question. I looked at Sasuke with begging eyes, he gave me a small smirk then squeezed my thigh.

"Mikoshina, your father and I just reconciled. Because we both love you and Minatachi and we want to make this work, in order to do that we all have to take this really slow. So no baby girl, I'm not moving in." Well that was blunt. Sasuke she's gonna freak out or start crying!

"I understand daddy." What?!

"Treat her like an adult, she responds like one, treat her like a kid, she's gonna act like a kid." Sasuke said quietly, turning down my street.

"You have got to be kidding me." Sasuke just smiled as he parked the car. He then got out and got Minatachi as Mikoshina helped me to the condo. We walked in and got everyone set up. Mina started crying and I realized it was time to feed him.

"I guess everyone's a little hungry huh? Come with me Miko, lets see what we can whip up." Sasuke said with a smile, going into the kitchen. He looked in the fridge then glared at me.

"What?" I asked, trying to get Tachi to latch.

"You literally have no food here, just left over ramen that's like three weeks old."

"Dad doesn't cook." Miko said in her classic sass.

"I can see that. First thing tomorrow I'm going to the grocery store and getting you some real food." Wouldn't it be amazing for Sasuke to cook for me again?

I tired to hide my excitement as I said, "That would be really nice of you." He intern tried to hide his blush.

"Mikoshina and I will go in the morning. As for tonight… pizza?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Sasuke messed up Miko's hair and called a pizza place on his phone. I can't believe how perfect he is. Now I'm kicking myself for how mean I was to him. When the pizza came we had a nice family dinner, watched some tv, then tucked both kids in for bed. I still wasn't feeling very well so Sasuke helped me into bed too. While he helped me, we got to talking.

"Your not recovering very fast, you know, for you… I'm a little worried."

"Don't be. Kurama was part of the reason I would recover so fast. Without him my healing is at like half strength. It's gonna take some time to adjust, but soon my body will be able to compensate properly. It will be okay."

"Is it weird? Not having Kurama I mean."

"Extremely. He was like my…conscience, always checking me when he knew I was wrong. Yeah it's totally weird."

"He and I had a moment… before I sealed him in Tachi. I think he said… thank you."

"He probably did. He's always liked you."

"I don't know why…"

"Because you're the one I'm supposed to be with, he's made that very clear for the past eleven or so years."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I just didn't want to listen to him. I was a jerk."

"Eh you had a reason to be."

"Not really, not in these past nine months or so. I was so angry with you for leaving me that I didn't even think it was for the best. All I saw was you getting sober and doing so well, and here I am getting a divorce, getting fat, and not having anyone with me. I was so bitter. I'm sorry I didn't tell you Mina was yours."

"Eh, if I was in your same position, I probably would have been so much worse, I was a pregnant monster remember?"

"You were perfect. You still are."

"And so are you dobe." He said leaning in and kissing me, then getting up off of the bed.

"Wait where are you going teme?"

"To the couch."

"What? Why?"

"Because we're dating, people who are dating don't sleep in the same bed."

"Sasuke."

"This isn't spiteful, it's respectful. And I have Minatachi tonight. Don't even worry about it. Get some rest dobe." He said kissing me again then leaving the room. That was… so nice. Am I in a dream? Sasuke and I are actually back together. It's crazy and wonderful all at the same time. This is… amazing.
