Hello, there! It's been awhile since I've written anything but I really wanted to write something and this is it!

It contains the usual SasuNaru pairing, there's also ItaKyuu and MPreg. Nothing explicit besides maybe language.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

There's a terrible thing that happens to those who fall in love fast and hard. Something that I was afraid that was happening to me right now. I, Uzumaki Naruto, no wait, Uchiha Naruto now, was afraid that my husband of five years, Uchiha Sasuke, was falling out of love with me.

I took a glance over at him from the passenger side of his black Mercedes. His expression was mildly annoyed as he stared straight ahead and continued driving towards his parents mansion on long island that was about an hours trip from our Manhattan penthouse. I let out a small sigh as I looked back out the window.

It was the Uchiha's annual Thanksgiving dinner that they throw every year. It involved both the Uchiha family and the Uzumaki family reuniting for the holidays. My father, Minato, and Sasuke's father, Fugaku, worked together at the hospital, both of them surgeons. My mother, Kushina, and his mother, Mikoto, were professional chefs. Mikoto had her own gourmet restaurant while my mother worked as her sous chef. Our parents got along but kept their relationship mostly professional. The Uchiha's aren't big fans of me and the Uzumaki's think I could do better than Sasuke.

There were also our older brother's who married each other. Itachi and Kyuubi. Itachi took more after Fugaku in looks but could be as sweet as Mikoto while Sasuke was just the opposite with his soft features from her and cold and distant personality from him. Kyuubi looked and acted just like our mom, a fiery and loud personality who liked to take charge, while I looked like my dad and mostly took after his silly and laid-back personality.

I was also excited to be seeing my older brother. He announced in May, at both the family's memorial weekend, that he was four months pregnant with their first child. He gave birth in the beginning of November and I was excited to see my niece for the first time. I felt a smile cross my face.

Itachi and Kyuubi met in medical school together and have been in a relationship for the whole duration of their time there. After the six years together, they didn't get married till three years after that. Which was two years after me and Sasuke got married.

Sasuke and I met in our first year of college together, which was about seven years ago when we were both eighteen. He was going to become a doctor and at first I was too. But after a year I dropped out. My family was disappointed in me, I wanted to pursue writing whether or not they approved and yet Sasuke backed me up, one hundred percent. He didn't mind that I only had part-time jobs that last about a year at most or that I never did write and saw it through. He just wanted to see me happy. And that's what I wanted for him.

But after a year of marriage and us deciding that we should try to have a baby, was when things slowly started to decline between us.

The doctor's told us that my uterus was oddly shaped, resembling more of T than a pear, telling us that any chance of becoming pregnant was close to nil.

I remember going home that night and crying in bed for at least a week. Sasuke changed his practice from Neuro to Pediatrics almost immediately.

I was happy to see him suddenly become excited to go to work, coming home and telling me stories of the children there. It was also devastating when he would come home either frustrated or just break down and cry when he lost a patient.

Slowly, he spent more time at the hospital and less at home, leaving earlier in the morning before I woke and not coming home until I was already asleep. It hurt me to say the least. I started to believe that Sasuke didn't want to see me anymore and I couldn't blame him, I was holding him back from starting his family.

When he heard the announcement last May of his brother having a child, I saw the heartbreak in his eyes as he smiled and congratulated him and my brother. I saw the jealousy, pain, anger and the tiredness. Since then, he hasn't been the same.

Mornings together were robotic. He says the usual good morning but now there's no emotion. The kiss on the cheek I receive from him was now more out of habit and I swear if I held a picture up of my face, he wouldn't know the difference. The conversations are one-sided and the dates that we would try to go on at least once a week are now being preoccupied with his work. Sex with him was like having sex with a wall and for the past three months, it hasn't happened at all. I'm losing the one good thing in my life because of the cards given to me from birth. I've tried to do things differently but there's only so much one person can do.

I wiped a tear from my eye and sniffled. I didn't want to start crying with him so close, I wouldn't even know what to say. I've apologized for this so many times, he now gets angry if I even bring it up.

I looked at the dashboard as Sasuke turned the heat on. I gave a sad smile at him trying to be considerate, thinking I was cold. I looked over at him and reached out to put a hand on his leg.

He flinched at the incoming touch and I quickly withdrew my hand before making contact. I looked back out the window and tucked my hand underneath my leg. Even my touch disgusts him.

Through the window I could see we were almost there. The familiar street of the neighborhood passed by. I soon started to fidget. This would be the first time we would be going to a family gathering, will he act like everything's okay? I don't even think I can imagine him trying to act like it is.

We pulled into their driveway and he parked the car. I could already see that everyone else was here and I gulped audibly.

" Ready to go in?" I asked him, but he was halfway out the door. Instead of coming to my side and opening the door, which he use to do before all this, he headed straight to the front door.

I watched on in disbelief and was half tempted to climb into the driver's seat and drive away, to who knows where. But anywhere, anywhere would be better than this.

Swallowing all the courage I could, I got out of the car and went to the backseat where a present for the baby was. I quickly grabbed it and hurried after Sasuke's retreating form.

"Naruto!" My mother was the first one to open the door and wrapped me in a hug. "Sasuke came in by himself and I was afraid you decided to stay home this year."

I gave a chuckle and held out the present. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. We were halfway to the door when I realized I forgot it, so I told him to go on ahead. Isn't that right, Sasuke?" I looked over at him as he was about to leave after taking off his boots and coat and I prayed he would act normal. Anything to prove that this marriage wasn't in complete shambles.

"Hn." He left the room and the hopeful look fell from my face and I bit my lip to keep it from quivering.

My mother turned to me, a frown on her face. "Is everything alright?"

'No! Nothing's all right!' I wanted to scream. 'My husband hates me so much, he can't even pretend that anything is okay!' I gave her a smile as best as I could. "O-of course! He, uh, he recently lost a patient. He just had high hopes. He's been down about it ever since."

She placed a hand over her heart. "Aw, that's so sad to hear. Hopefully the new baby will cheer him up."

I nodded my head. "I want to see her."

My mother smiled brightly. "Right this way!"

She brought me up the stairs and down the hallway, past Sasuke's and Itachi's old room, and into a guest bedroom that they converted into a temporary nursery.

Everyone was already in the room, cooing at Kyuubi and and the baby who were sitting in a rocking chair, Itachi standing behind them. Sasuke was standing next to his brother and I could just barely see the smile that graced his face.

My heart wrenched at the sight. I never realized how much I missed seeing him smile.

"Naruto!" Kyuubi looked happy to see me, and everyone but Sasuke turned to look at me too, greeting me. "Come here! Meet Kairi!"

I gave a slight nod as the room made way for me. I stood on Kyuubi's side, across from Sasuke, who decided to move closer to his parents. I frowned a little but quickly smiled down at my niece. "Hi there, Kairi. It's nice to meet you. Uncle Naruto will spoil you rotten so you can give your parents a hard time." I smirked up at Kyuubi and Itachi as the room laughed.

Kyuubi rolled his eyes and looked up at Itachi. They shared a knowing look before Kyuubi faced me again. "Would you like to hold her?"

I nodded enthusiastically and moved out of the way so Kyuubi could stand. I sat down in the chair. Kyuubi placed her in my arms and I got a better look at her. She was pale, almost like her father with a full head of his black hair. She looked up at me and I could see the bright green eyes of my mother and Kyuubi's eyes. I gently rubbed a thumb over her cheek and she cooed happily at me. I smiled brightly and looked up. "Look, Sas-" My smile once again faltered as I saw the heartbreak in Sasuke's eyes and watched as he left the room. I turned to Kyuubi. "She's so soft and cuddly. I think I'll keep her."

The room laughed and I reluctantly gave her back to Itachi who placed her in the crib. The room emptied out, leaving only me and Kyuubi. Kyuubi sat on the bed while I stayed seated in the chair.

"What's going on?" He asked.

I looked down at my lap, not wanting to look him in the eye. "I don't know what you're talking about." I practically whispered.

"Don't go acting dumb on me, I'm your brother."

"Who said I'm acting." I quickly retorted, giving him a glare.

He shrugged. "If it was anything else, I'd probably agree. But this is about Sasuke."

I was silent, debating whether or not to tell him the truth. I shook my head and looked at him, giving him a small smile. "He just recently lost a patient. He had-"

"Cut the bullshit, Naruto." I looked up at him, in shock, to find him glaring at me. "I'm a doctor too. I know that Sasuke knows better than to get caught up in a patient's life like that. It may work on mom but it won't work on me and dad. Besides, I'm your older brother. It's impossible to lie to me." He gave me a smile and I tried to smile back, but I just sighed tiredly and looked back down at my lap.

"He hates me, Kyuu."

"Naru, he doesn't hate you. He l-"

"No!" I quickly interrupted him. I couldn't stop the tears that were starting to fall. "Don't you dare say he loves me!" Kairi let out a whimper and I realized I was shouting. "If he loved me, he wouldn't be ignoring me. We haven't had a proper conversation in months. He hasn't looked at me, or touched me in months. And he's never home anymore. He resents me. He resents me for not being able to have kids." I started to sob loudly.

"Naru, that's not true." Kyuubi frowned at me and patted the bed, indicating for me to come over. I slowly got up and sat down on the bed before resting my head in Kyuubi's lap. "He knew for a while that you couldn't have kids, but the last time we saw him, he-oh." Realization hit him and I laughed bitterly.

"I think I'm going to stay with Uncle Iruka and Uncle Kakashi until I figure it out."

"Do you want a divorce?" Kyuubi looked down at me and I looked up at him. I saw the concern in his face and gave him a sad smile. I started to pick at the lint on his pants.

"No. I don't. But if Sasuke does, I'll do it for him. I just want him to be happy and I know he always wanted a family." The tears started to fall from my eyes again and I sat up before I could get Kyuubi's pants wet. "I just want him to be happy."

Kyuubi pulled me to his side and started petting my hair. "What about your happiness, Naruto?"

We sat there in silence until there was a light knock on the door. "Come in." Kyuubi called out.

The door opened and Itachi came in. "Dinner's ready." He leaned against the door frame and looked at the two of us.

Kyuubi nodded and stood up, holding out his hand for me to take.

I looked at it, then to Itachi. I didn't want to go down there and try to pretend that everything was okay. I didn't want to hear Sasuke being able to have a conversation with everyone but me. So, I shook my head. "I'm not hungry, I think I'll just stay up here. If mom gets fussy, tell her I promise to help with the dishes when dinner is finished."

Kyuubi nodded once and walked over to Itachi who wrapped his arm around his waist, pulling him close.

"Oh, wait!" I quickly called out before it was too late. They both stopped to look at me. "Would it be okay if I held Kairi some more?"

Itachi chuckled. "Of course, I have no problem with that."

"Feel better Naru." They left, leaving the door open.

I stood up and walked over to Kairi's crib, looking down at her. She was awake, but just barely. I picked her up and started to cradle her in my arms. "You're so lucky, Kairi. You have such nice parents who love you very much, and who love each other very much." I lightly brushed some of her hair away from her face. I could feel the tears starting to fall from my face. "You're so beautiful, Kairi. I can't have my own children, you see. And now, I'm afraid that your Uncle Sasuke doesn't love me anymore because of it. He really loves children, I know he wants a big family of his own. I'm just holding him back from having all that." I shook my head as more tears started to fall. "But I don't want that Kairi. I'm selfish and want to keep him for myself, but I'm afraid if I keep him, he'll resent me more. If I let him go now, maybe things will be better between us once he moves on with someone who can give him children. Seeing him like this, is tearing me up inside."

There was a click and I turned to see the door closed. I quickly wiped my eyes as best as I could with Kairi in my arms. Kyuubi probably just checked up on me, seeing me crying, he probably closed the door to give me my privacy.

"I guess I should call Iruka to see if I can stay over for a bit." I set Kairi back in her crib and laid on the bed, pulling out my cellphone.

"Hello?" Iruka picked up after the third ring.

"Hi, Iruka. Its Naruto."

"Naruto, hi! Happy Thanksgiving! What's up? How's dinner?"

I frowned into the phone."Actually, not so good. Which is why I called to be honest." I paused. "Is it okay if I stayed over for a couple days? Just to clear my head." Iruka and Kakashi lived only two blocks from our own apartment so it shouldn't be too bad.

"What's going on, Naruto? Are you okay?" His voice was filled with worry and I instantly felt bad about worrying him today instead of calling in the morning. "No one's hurt, right?"

"No, no. Nobody's hurt. I just, I don't want to go home tonight. I promise I'll tell you tomorrow morning. I probably won't be done for another hour or two and then it'll be an hour drive back and then I just gotta pack. I should be there before 10."

"Alright Naruto, I'll see you tonight." He hung up the phone and I patiently waited for my mom to call me down to help her out.

I didn't realize I fell asleep until I was being shaken awake by Mikoto. "Oh, hey Mikoto."

She was holding Kairi in her arm and she gently smiled down at me. "Your mom is down stairs doing dishes and everyone else is watching some game. I hope you're feeling better after resting."

I yawned and nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better."

"That's good to hear. I'm sending Sasuke home with some leftovers so you'll be able to have some. Make sure he doesn't eat them all." She gave me a wink as I smiled at her and left the room.

I went downstairs. Everyone was gathered around the giant TV, beers in their hands. My eyes locked onto Sasuke's who was staring at me. My breath hitched and I quickly hurried into the kitchen.

My mom was hunched over the sink and I snuck up next to her, holding a towel. "I'll dry."

"I'm a little annoyed with you right now, Naruto." She gave me a frown and shook her head. "I already know that Fugaku has some issues with you, and now he thinks you're rude too. Why didn't you come eat with us?"

I let out a sigh. Deciding that admitting my marriage was falling apart once tonight was enough. "I'm just not feeling too good. I don't think I would've been able to hold it down."

My mother let out a gasp. "Naru, what if you're pregnant!"

I groaned. "No, mother. Don't get your hopes up. You know it's impossible for me to get pregnant and besides, we haven't had sex in over three months." I didn't realize I said that last part out loud until I held out my hand for the next plate and didn't receive it. I looked over to see her frowning at me and instantly, I cupped my hand over my mouth.

"You haven't been having sex? Is everything okay?"

"Mom, please." I didn't want to bring this up. Not now, I don't want to admit to my parents that our marriage was failing. My dad would've laughed in Sasuke's face and his father probably would smirk at mine. "I don't want to talk about it!" I started to shout, not caring if I would get lectured for it later.

"But Naruto-" My mother was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. We both looked over our shoulders to see Sasuke. Shock must've shown on both our faces because he looked away, seemingly nervous.

"Excuse me Kushina, but I would like to take Naruto home now, seeing as he hasn't been feeling well." His eyes locked on to mine and I felt the urge to run away. "If that's okay with you, Naruto."

I nodded dumbly and placed the towel onto the counter. I walked towards him and was about to walk straight past him when his hand was a top my shoulder. It took almost all my willpower to not flinch and push his hand off. The contact practically burned.

"Don't forget to say goodbye." He said, turning me back towards my mom.

"Uh, uh, bye, mom. I'll see you later." I nervously waved at her and she waved back.

He guided me back into the living room and I saw that Mikoto brought down Kairi who was now in Itachi's arms. "Thank you for dinner, but me and Naruto are going to go since he's not feeling too well."

Everyone said their goodbyes and we walked out to his car. Before getting in, I saw the leftovers that Mikoto gave us and smiled. It was enough to feed us for the rest of the week. The rest of the ride was silent and the only thing I was thinking about was what to pack to Iruka's. When we reached Manhattan, I was surprised by the little amount of traffic that was there. I expected there to be more, due to it being Black Friday now that it was nine.

We pulled into the parking garage of our building and parked. Sasuke took out the leftovers and we walked into our building and headed towards the elevators.

"Naruto." Sasuke spoke my name just as the elevator doors closed, and I jumped at the sound. "Can we talk, I h-"

I quickly cut him off, I didn't want to talk. I needed to get to Iruka's to clear my head. I already knew the topic of this conversation and wasn't ready to talk about our inevitable breakup just yet. "I hope you don't mind putting away the leftovers, I still feel pretty sick and am going to head to bed." As soon as the elevator doors opened, I rushed into our apartment and headed to our bedroom, closing the door behind me.

I decided to pack just the necessities and come back when Sasuke has work the day after tomorrow. I placed my bag at the end of the dresser and was about to get into bed and sneak out while he was taking a shower. But I noticed the wedding band on my finger. I bit my lip and took it off, placing it on the dresser. I knew after spending time at Iruka's, Sasuke will bring up divorce and I'd be mentally prepared for it. Taking off my ring was just the first step.

My hand felt naked and light without the ring on and the thought of not wearing it again was already making me cry. I curled up on the bed and silently cried, hoping that Sasuke would be quick to get in the shower. I noticed the time and sent a quick text to Iruka saying I may be late but not to wait up since I had a spare key.

I heard the bedroom door open and then the light turned on. He was courteous enough to dim the light almost immediately, even though I wasn't really asleep. I heard him go into the linen closet to grab a towel and then he headed to the dresser, probably to change his boxers. I heard a drawer open and then a metal clink before the drawer was slammed, hard.

I furrowed my brows and resisted the urge to look up at him. But suddenly I was quickly shoved, almost completely off the bed. I turned to look at him, a mix of surprise and anger. "What the hell, bastard?!"

His eyes were narrowed in a glare as he studied me carefully. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Trying to sleep, asshole." I turned so I wasn't facing him, unsure of what exactly was happening. My heart was being fast and I was afraid that this fight was going to be physical.

I received another shove and this time, I did fall from the bed. I landed on the floor with a thud, my arm hitting the ground hard. The pain shot through up into my shoulder and I hissed. Half of me wanted to get up and kick his ass while the other half, the half that I listened to, wanted to just stay on the ground and accept whatever was coming to me.

"Get up." Sasuke was above me in a second. I stayed put, refusing to move. What was this sudden anger that he had? Was he really this mad over the Thanksgiving dinner? "Naruto!"

"What?" I mumbled into the hardwood floor. I should've left as soon as I could.

"Get. Up. We need. To talk." He was persistent and I slowly lifted myself up, sitting on the bed. He stood in front of me glaring down at me.

I let out a bitter laugh. "I already know what this is about. And honestly, I don't want to talk about it right now."

He laughed sarcastically and ran a hand through his hair. "Oh, oh I'm sorry! You don't want to talk about how you're going to leave me? You're just going to up and leave?"

I looked at him in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

He started to pace in front of me. "Don't play dumb with me, Naruto. I can clearly see the packed bag by the dresser."

I turned to look then faced him again. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked over towards the door. "I was just going to go over Iruka's for a couple days to clear my head."

He made his way over to the dresser and picked something up off it it, making his way back towards me. "So clearing your head means you have to leave your ring behind, does it? Is that it? What do you plan on doing without it, fuck some other guy, huh?"

I looked up at him and glared. There was no way I was going to take this. After the hell he's put me through, all the pain and neglect, he wants to accuse me of the one thing I could never do to him. I threw out all hope that divorce was going to be a clean one. "Do not even go there, Sasuke. I would never cheat on you no matter what kind of hell you put me through. I took that ring off because I know in my heart, if I don't do it now, I wouldn't be able too when you asked for a divorce."

He looked at me with confusion, some of the anger that was there before seemed to vanish. "Divorce? Why would I divorce you?"

I laughed out loud at his ignorance. "Oh my god." I started to laugh harder and I wasn't sure when the laughter turned to crying but by the time I could speak, tears were falling down my cheeks and I was sobbing. "Are you really this ignorant, Sasuke? I know you resent me for not being able to have kids, I'm just giving you an opportunity to let me leave so you can be with someone who can."

"Naruto, I don't resent you."

"You don't resent me?!" I screamed at him. I stood up and got in his face, he was a few inches taller than me and I wanted to kick him so I could tower above him. "How can you say such blatant lies! There's no way in hell that you don't resent me! Have you not been here for the last four years of our marriage?!"

He looked away from me and I saw guilt flash across his eyes. I took a step back from him and scoffed, shaking my head. I couldn't do this right now, I needed to leave.

"I'm not going to stop you from pursuing your dreams, Sasuke. I'll leave with no trouble. Just send the divorce papers to Iruka's whenever and I'll pick up my stuff while you're at work. I'm too tired to argue right now." I pushed past him and grabbed my bag off the floor. I didn't have any urge to cry for once, maybe finally saying it out loud makes it a little bit easier.

Before I reached the door, I felt Sasuke's hand on my shoulder and unlike at his parents house, this time I pushed it off. I turned to face him and was surprised to see desperation in his eyes. "Naruto, this isn't what I want. I want to be with you. I don't want a divorce."

'I don't either!' I wanted to shout at him. I wanted to run into his arms and stay there forever. But how do I know if he'll still want this tomorrow? What if we go to bed fine and in the morning, he'll just ignore me like he has been for the last few months? "You say that now, but from the way you've been acting, it sure doesn't seem like it. I want to be with you too, Sasuke." He looked at me and hope filled his eyes but I quickly shook my head. "But if it means living like we have the past five months, I need to let you go. Besides, you've always talked about your own family, ever since I've known you. I'm stopping you and I can't be that person, Sasuke."

"I heard the conversation you had with Kairi." Sasuke looked to the ground and whispered to himself. "I never realized how much I hurt you, Naruto." I watched him carefully, so he probably was the person who closed the door. He looked back up at me. "But I married you for a reason, Naruto. We both know if I was going to get married just to have kids, I could've picked anyone. But I chose you." He came closer to me and gently grasped my chin, forcing me to look up at him. "I could've had some supermodel but instead, I chose a loud, obnoxious, idiot like you."

I glared at him and was about to protest, when he placed his lips upon mine. My eyes widened in surprise. I missed the feel of his soft lips on mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back softly. Before things got heated, he pulled away and I stared at him with half-lidded eyes.

"And that's exactly what I want. I fell in love with you, Naruto. Only you can make me feel the way I do. Because of you, I smile and laugh more often. You bring the best out of me."

I looked away from him. "That may be true, but when you married me, you didn't know that I couldn't have kids. Once you did, you distanced yourself from me. And I made the effort to fix things but there was no effort from you. Then, when Itachi and Kyuubi announced they were having a baby, there was nothing. You couldn't look at me, you couldn't talk to me, you left before I woke up and didn't come home until you knew I'd be asleep."

"I know I can't change what I've done, Naruto. As much as I want too, I want to go back in time and kick my ass for treating you the way I did and not the way you deserve to be treated. I was hurting but I was only thinking of my pain. And I was jealous of Itachi and Kyuubi and unfortunately, you had to suffer from my selfishness. All I can do, Naruto, is beg for your forgiveness." He gently pushed me onto the bed and climbed on top of me. He kissed my lips and then moved his way to my ear and then kissed me down my neck.

I moaned at his kisses and ran my fingers through his hair. "I-I do. I forgive you."

Sasuke sat up and smiled at me. "Good. Now let's consummate this agreement." He smirked down at me with a predatory gaze and I knew I'd be sore for the next few days.

*Christmas Eve*

I woke up Christmas eve morning in one of the many guest rooms of the Uchiha mansion. Sasuke was still asleep, an arm thrown off the bed with the other under his head. I smiled brightly and quickly got up and ran to my personal bag. I snuck out of the room and in front the room where Kyuubi and Itachi were staying.

I knocked lightly on the door and Kyuubi answered it almost immediately. "You ready?" I whispered, bouncing on the toes of my feet. He nodded and quickly shut the door behind him.

We walked into one of the large bathrooms and made sure no one was around before locking the door. I quickly set my bag on the counter, rummaging through it.

"Oh my god, I'm so excited!" Kyuubi started to giggle.

I quickly shushed him, a smile on my face that I couldn't stop. I finally found what I was looking for, a pregnancy test.

Ever since Sasuke and I kind of made up, sex has been a bit more regular. Soon enough, I started getting sick constantly. I hid it most of the time from Sasuke since he tried to get in as many hours as he could before the holiday trip back to the Uchiha mansion.

I soon had my suspicions of being pregnant. Though doctors have told me it was near impossible, I still had hope. I confronted my brother on the phone and he agreed that it was a good idea to take a test.

The plan was, if I was pregnant, to announce it Christmas morning. If I wasn't, it'd be a little disappointing but no harm, no foul.

"Is it ready yet?" Kyuubi asked, trying to take the stick out of my hand just as I finished peeing.

"Stop it! It takes three minutes!" I moved the stick so it was out of his reach and set a timer on my phone.

The three minutes were spent in agonizing silence. I sat on the toilet, looking up at the ceiling and praying to any deity out there of a positive outcome. Kyuubi was pacing in front of the tub, occasionally giving me glances.

When the timer went off, the two of us both jumped and we ran to each other.

"Ready?" I asked him nervously, he nodded and I picked up the stick off the counter.

Positive.

The two of us started screaming, holding each other's hands and bouncing around the room. I couldn't believe it! I was pregnant, I was really pregnant!

There was a knock on the door and I quickly threw the test into my bag. Kyuubi waited patiently until I was sure it was tucked away. He opened the door to reveal a very distressed Itachi and Sasuke standing behind him, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "What's wrong? We heard screaming." Itachi looked back and forth between the two of us.

We smiled at each other. "Nothing, babe. We were just really excited about the present that Naruto got for Sasuke."

I saw Sasuke raise an eyebrow at the sound of his name, but it seemed like he was trying to master the art of sleeping while standing. I focused my attention back onto Itachi and nodded enthusiastically. "We just got carried away! We were just so excited, we didn't mean too-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence as a wave of nausea hit. My eyes widened and I quickly covered my hand over my mouth and turned to run to the toilet, emptying my stomach.

"Apparently you got a little too excited." I gave them all a thumbs up sign as I continued to vomit. "I'm going to check on Kairi, but you sure everything's okay?"

Kyuubi nodded and pushed Itachi away from the door. "Yes, yes we're fine! Go, go."

I rinsed out my mouth of the horrid taste and made my way to the door, the bag in my hand. Me and Kyuubi started to laugh as Itachi backed up into Sasuke who was leaning against the wall, asleep.

"Is he for real?" Itachi gave him an incredulous look before shaking his head.

I placed my arm around Sasuke's waist and guided him back to the bedroom. I placed my bag down near the closet door and tucked Sasuke into bed. Before I could pull away and climb into my side of the bed, Sasuke quickly pulled me down on top of him. "What'd you get me?" He mumbled into my hair.

"It's a surprise, Sasuke." I sighed and wrapped my arms around him as best as I could.

"I'll tell you what I got you." I felt his fingers run lightly down my spine and I shivered. "Pretty please, Naruto?"

I shook my head and smiled up at him. "Nope. Not gonna tell, you'll just have to wait and see!" I pulled the blankets up and over the two of us and he let out a small groan. "Trust me, you'll love this surprise!"

Christmas morning, I woke up about ten minutes earlier than everyone was supposed to. In my hand was a small gift bag that contained the pregnancy test and some tissue paper. I went down into the livingroom, where the tree stood. There were plenty of presents underneath the tree and I quickly hid mine as far behind the tree as I could.

I stepped away from the tree to see my dad sitting on the couch, watching me with a smile. "Placing a last minute present, eh Naruto?"

I smiled brightly at him. "Yep!" I walked over and sat next to him, leaning into his side.

"Your mom told me at Thanksgiving that you and Sasuke haven't been having sex, is everything okay?" He looked down at me with concern and I groaned, covering my face with my hand.

"Her and her big mouth!"

"Hey, don't talk about your mom like that. I happen to like her big mouth!"

I stared up at him in horror while he smirked down at me. "Dad! No!"

He laughed loudly and ruffled my hair. "But seriously, Naruto, I can rough him up for you, keep him in check. Make sure he's treating you right."

"We'll both do that for you." I looked up to see my mom enter the room and she made her way over to the couch, sitting down next to me.

"Thanks guys, I appreciate it. But I think me and Sasuke are going to be okay."

Mikoto and Fugaku came in next, taking the couch next to us. Itachi and Kyuubi followed close behind, Kairi in Kyuubi's arms. She was passed over to my mom who was squealing to hold her. The two took the loveseat that was on the other side of my parents.

It was about five minutes later before Sasuke came into the room, still looking like he was half asleep.

I gave him a playful pout. "Sasuke, you're always the last one here. Now we gotta sit on the floor!"

"This year I was looking for you!" He quickly replied.

"Oh Sasuke, you were always like this!" Mikoto replied, giggling.

Fugaku smirked at him. "For school you could always get up just fine, but as soon as it's a holiday, it's like waking the dead."

The room laughed as Sasuke grumbled, sitting close to the tree. I quickly got up from between my parents and sat next to Sasuke.

Soon everyone had a gift in hand and we began to open them. Wrapping paper littered the floor and people's gifts were surrounding them. I gasped in shock as I opened Sasuke's present, a new tablet along with a leather bound journal were packed inside.

"There's also a special surprise under the cover too." Sasuke smirked at me and placed a kiss atop my forehead. "I like giving you surprises too."

I blushed lightly as everyone was watching, Sasuke's present to me being one of the last ones. I took out the journal and opened it. There were two tickets inside. I picked them up and read the destination. "Hawaii!" I got up, practically screaming. "You're taking me to Hawaii!?"

Sasuke laughed and nodded as I threw myself on top of him. Kissing him long and hard.

"Okay guys," Kyuubi said, laughing. He smiled widely when the two of us pulled apart. "Is that all the presents?"

"I think so." Itachi said.

"No wait, I think I saw one more." I quickly got up and pulled the small gift bag from behind the tree. "Its for Sasuke."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he took it and read the tag. He rolled his eyes. "Naruto, if it's another coupon book for that ramen shop, I swear I'm burning it this year."

The room laughed and my smile just got wider. "You'll just have to wait and see."

Sasuke stuck his hand in, still talking about how ramen was the un-healthiest thing in the world, when he stopped talking as he pulled the test out.

I looked over at Kyuubi, my smile getting wider as well as his own.

"Well, what is it, Sasuke?" Mikoto asked as Sasuke stayed silent, eyes wide.

He looked up at me, shock, surprise, hopefulness, joy, so many emotions running through his face. "Naruto, is it, is this true?"

I nodded my head and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kyuubi get up and quickly take Kairi out of my mom's hands and sitting back down. I giggled to myself, it was probably better even if she was pouting about it.

Sasuke looked down at the test once again, hand covering his mouth.

"Don't leave us hanging, Sasuke, what is it?" Itachi asked, he shook his head.

Sasuke slowly stood up and when his hand dropped from his mouth, he was smiling and I could see the tears that were starting to fall down his face. I was quickly there by his side, wrapping my arms around his waist. "I'm going to be a father."

My mother was the first to get over her shock as she stood up, squealing and running over to me. "Oh my god, Naruto! I'm so happy for you! I can't believe this!" She pulled me away from Sasuke and started to rub my belly. "Hi little one!"

I swatted my mom away, giving her a small glare. "I'm only about four weeks, mom. You don't need to do all that."

My mom smiled brightly. "Nonsense! It's never too early to let a baby know they're loved!"

"Congratulations you two!" Mikoto smiled at us. "When did you find out?"

"Yesterday morning." I smiled brightly at her.

"So that's what you two were screaming about." Itachi commented.

I nodded at him then turned to Mikoto. "I've been having morning sickness for that past two weeks so I was thinking, maybe this was it."

"You never told me this." Sasuke looked down at me with concern.

"I didn't want to get your hopes up. Besides, you were working extra hours at the hospital, I didn't want you to fret over me too."

There was a loud sniffle and we turned to look at my dad who seemed to be crying.

"Dad? What's wrong?" Kyuubi asked, worried.

My dad once again sniffled before looking at me, tears running down his face. "My little Naru is growing up!" He sobbed loudly and I snorted at him, receiving a glare from my mother.

"There, there, Minato, they all have to grow up sometime." Fugaku tried to comfort my father by patting his arm, causing him to cry louder.

*8 Months Later*

I looked out the window of my parent's summer house in the Hamptons. My mom and Mikoto were sitting at the glass table, two glasses of lemonade in front of them while a pitcher and some empty cups were set on the opposite side.

Fugaku and my father were talking over the grill, the smell of cooking meat was wafting in through the open window.

Itachi and Sasuke were having some sort of competition in the in-ground pool and I giggled as Itachi tried to hold Sasuke down in the water.

Kyuubi was sitting on the first step of the pool's built in stairs, Kairi was splashing in the water next to him, laughing loudly. She was so big now that she was nine months old.

I took a step back from washing my hands after cutting up the watermelon. I looked down at my belly, which was quite large, and rubbed it gently. I still had a couple weeks to go but I feel like I'm ready to pop.

We found out that we were having twins around my eighth week of pregnancy. The news just made Sasuke even happier. He came to my every beck and call, going above and beyond for me which during the first trimester, made me cry a lot.

At our penthouse, we converted my studio that I used for writing into a nursery since it was bigger than the guest bedroom we had. Iruka came over with presents for the nursery almost every week, causing him and Sasuke to bond over, while me and Kakashi would roll our eyes.

I smiled at all the memories I've had since me and Sasuke finally rekindled the flame in our marriage.

After Christmas, he called into work and took another week off so we could fly to Hawaii while I still had the okay from the doctor. There we had a nice vacation where it seemed the mistakes of the past four years drifted away.

I grabbed the tray of watermelon and headed out onto the deck.

"Naruto, you're such a doll, thank you!" Mikoto said as I placed the tray of watermelon in front of her.

I smiled brightly at her. "It's no trouble at all!"

"The steaks are done, boys!" My father called out to everyone in the pool. We watched as Kyuubi carried Kairi over to us, drying her off while Itach and Sasuke were once again fighting to see who got out of the pool first. Itachi would've won if it weren't for Sasuke who grabbed his leg and pulled him back into the pool, using the advantage to quickly run out onto the deck.

"You boys are always so violent." Mikoto frowned at Sasuke as Itachi came grumbling up to the deck. "You're going to end up breaking each other's neck."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You always say that, mom." He looked over at me with a smirk and grabbed my hand, giving it a light kiss.

"Oh shoot, I forgot to grab plates." Fugaku frowned as he had a steak clamped in the pair of tongs.

"Don't worry, I'll grab them!" I quickly sprung up from my seat, well as best as I could, before waddling back into the kitchen.

I walked over to where my parents kept the plates and opened the cabinet. Just as I started to reach for them, a sharp pain hit me in the bottom of my belly. I hissed loudly before rubbing the spot, waiting for the feeling to pass. I blinked and looked down, nervously laughing to myself.

I waited a few more minutes before trying to reach for another one. I successfully grabbed one and placed it on the counter, confident it was a one time thing.

As I reached for a third plate, the pain came back, this time it hurt more, and I gasped loudly, putting my hand back under my belly and I groaned a bit. After another minute, it went away and I leaned against the counter.

My dad stuck his head into the doorway and gave me a concernes look. "Everything okay in here?"

I nodded and gave him a weak smile. "Yeah, just a little winded is all. Who knew?" I laughed a little and my dad smiled.

"Need any help?"

If you want you can take the plates I already got." I held the short stack out and he came in and took them. I grunted loudly as the pain hit me once again. I bent down and held onto my knees, breathing heavily.

"Hey, are you okay?" My dad started to rub my back.

"Yeah, one of them just kicked really hard." I tried to laugh but it came out more as a gasps. "Just give me a sec and I'll grab the rest and be right out."

He nodded and headed out to the deck.

Once the pain passed, I went to grab five more and I started to head out to the deck.

I smiled at Sasuke as he turned to see me step out of the house. Just as he stood up to take the plates from me, the pain once again hit me, this time it was stronger and I fell to my knees, dropping the plates in the process.

"Naruto!" Sasuke was quickly by my side and everyone else started to gather around me.

I gasped loudly and tried to hold back from crying. I grabbed on to his arm, holding it tightly. "It really hurts, Sasuke."

"Bring him to our car." Itachi said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "We'll bring him to the hospital."

Sasuke nodded and carefully he picked me up bridal style with very little effort.

I laughed a little through the pain as he started to walk towards Itachi's car, and he looked down at me. "I never realized you were this strong." I closed my eyes as the pain started to subside, and fell into unconsciousnes.

When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. I turned to my side and through blurry eyes I saw Sasuke.

I vaguely remember arriving at the hospital and finding out I was in labor. I sat up quickly and hissed as I felt pain in my lower abdomen. I looked down and saw my giant belly was almost back to how it was before I was pregnant.

"Hey there, you ready to meet your children?" I looked up and saw Itachi standing next to me. "Sasuke has Tama and Kushina has Suki."

I smiled at the names that me and Sasuke decided on. "Yeah, I wanna see them."

My mom came over first and I nearly cried in joy at the sight of her, she was almost an exact replica of Sasuke. The only difference was she had my blue eyes. She looked up at me and she seemed to recognize me and gave me a small smile. "Hi Suki."

Sasuke then came over with Tama. He seemed to be wriggling a lot and I giggled as Sasuke gave me a nervous smile. "I'm pretty sure he's going to be hyper like you. He's only two hours old and has more energy then me. He even looks like you too."

I laughed and looked over at Tama. As soon as he saw me, he started to coo loudly and wriggles even more in Sasuke's arms. He did look more like me then Sasuke, but had his dark colored eyes. "I'll hold him for you." Sasuke placed him in my arms and he seemed to settle down almost immediately.

"Figures." Sasuke said with a roll of his eyes.

My mom passed Suki to Sasuke and she held onto Itachi's arm. "We'll give you two some time alone." The two of them left, giving us some time alone.

"They're beautiful, Sasuke." I whispered, looking them both over.

"All thanks to you." Sasuke gave me a kiss on the forehead and I scooted over so he could lie down with me. "I love you, Naruto."

"I love you too, Sasuke."

Well, how'd you like it? I was maybe thinking of adding an Epilogue or something but I don't know, if you think I should or shouldn't or if you just have any comments in general, leave a review!

Thanks for reading!
