Two minus one equals three?
Chapter 1
Almost two weeks after Naruto and Sasuke broke up, and Sasuke moved away, to work in a different town, Naruto sat in his grandmother's office, waiting for his appointment, he smiled at the nurse, as she called him in, to the privet office. His grandmother was sitting there, looking over the sports section of the news paper, he sighed even now she never stopped gambling.
"Hey Grandma Tsunade." Naruto said
"Naruto, what are you doing here, you appointment isn't until 1:30?" Tsunade asked
"It's 1:35" Naruto said
Tsunade looked at the clock and groan, she missed lunch again, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle.
"So what is wrong?" Tsunade asked
"I've been getting sick a lot lately, and I was hoping you could tell me what is wrong?" Naruto said as he closed the door
"Sit and tell me what is up?" She said looking at her grandson, well he wasn't by blood but as far as it went she had adopted the young man standing before her at the age of 12. That was over 10 years ago, and now he had his own apartment, on the other side of town far away from his drunk and gambling grandmother.
"Well everyday for the past week and a half, I've been waking up, only to discover that my stomach feels the need to empty itself, and it does. I've been getting dizzy a lot, and my stomach has been hurting a lot." Naruto said
"Naruto, are you seeing anyone?" Tsunade asked
"Why grandma Tsunade?" Naruto asked
"Naruto, were you in a relationship with a guy?" Tsunade asked
"Are you asking me, if I'm gay?" Naruto yelled shocked
"Quiet down, but yes." Tsunade replied
"Well, yeah, Grandma, your not mad are you?" He asked kind of fearful, knowing all to well, his grandmother was once known to be the most powerful woman in the world, but now she was a doctor, but that didn't stop her from every once and a while destroying a desk or putting a hole in the wall.
"No, I'm not mad, if you're happy then I'm happy for you." She replied with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"So grandma, do you know what's wrong with me?" He asked hopeful she could fix it and move on with his life.
"Well I have an idea, but I need to run a few test, to be sure." She said
"Can you give me a hint?" Naruto asked hopeful, he turned his big puppy dog eyes on her
"Won't work, and you know that." She replied
2 hours later
A nervous Naruto sat in the office, while his grandmother was reading over the results of the test she order, and watched as her face paled, he watched as she slammed her hand down on the desk, causing it to brake, Naruto sighed, the only one able to handle her temper was his grandfather, but sadly the man had past away went Naruto was only 16.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked
"Well, I don't know how to tell you this but you are pregnant." She said
"WHAT?" Naruto yelled
"Calm down, Naruto" Tsunade snapped
"BUT I'M PREGNANT. I'M A GUY, GUYS DON'T GET PREGNANT." Naruto yelled
"QUIET DOWN NOW" She snapped using the same tone she used when he was testing her patience as a child.
"Sorry" Naruto said and bit his lip
"Naruto guys don't normally get pregnant, but there are some cases where men do get pregnant. You are just one of those cases." She said
"But what do I do?" Naruto asked
"What do you mean, you tell the guy that got you pregnant." She replied
"See, that's the hard part, we broke up recently and he moved back home." Naruto said "I have no way of contacting him."
Naruto flinched as Tsunade punched the wall, it was clear this guy had something to answer for. "Naruto, what was the guy's name?"
"Grandma, I'd rather not tell you" Naruto said
"Naruto, I'll repeat, what was his name?" She asked raising a pale eye brow
"Sasuke" Naruto whispered knowing that his grandmother heard him
"Does this Sasuke have a last name?" She growled
"Um, well yes but, I know you, you'll harass him." Naruto said
"Fine, I won't ask for a last name now, but soon, Naruto, you will give me it. However now we need to do a check up to make sure, you and your baby is ok"
"Fine" Naruto said
A couple minutes later Naruto was leaving the office with a prescription, for pre-natal vitamins and a promise he'd take them everyday, after a quick stop off to get the vitamins, he headed back to his place on the other side of town.
Once in his apartment, he walked over to the trash and pulled out a picture of the bastard, it was a picture of the father of his unborn child. Naruto sighed as he wondered how this was going to affect work, Naruto work for a record company, he helped produce most of the top names in music. He sighed, life was just getting complicated, since Sasuke left, Naruto lost not only his lover but his roommate, he lost the extra income to pay for the 2 bedroom apartment, and now he was pregnant. He noticed that he had a message, and sighed as he pressed play.
"Uzumaki residence, no one is home at the moment leave your name and number plus the reason you are calling and I'll get back to you." The answering machine said "Hello Mr. Uzumaki, my name is Neji Hyuuga, I was calling about that room for rent, if you haven't rented it out yet, I would like to take you up on that offer. My number is…" Naruto reached for the pen, and wrote down the number. The next message was some what nicer "Naruto, it's Gaara I just heard, I'll kill him. Give me a call then."
"Will do then Gaara" Naruto whispered "I guess I should call that Hyuuga guy and see about showing him around the apartment. Naruto looked at the apartment, it was in all accounts a pig-stile but Naruto liked it like that. "If I'm going to show him around I should have a clean apartment." Naruto said and started to clean, but not before Tsunade called to make sure, he got his vitamins and had taken one.
Almost 2 hours later, Naruto called Neji Hyuuga and waited for him to pick up.
"Neji Hyuuga here" Neji said
"Mr. Hyuuga, this is Naruto Uzumaki returning your call, you wanted to rent the spare room?" Naruto asked
"Yes, actually, I did, I was wondering when I could take a look at the place?" Neji asked
"Are you free now?" Naruto asked
"Sure, what's the address?" Neji asked
Naruto rattled it off, as Neji wrote it down. "I'll be there in 30 minutes, ok?" Neji questioned
"Sure" Naruto said noticing it would give him just enough time to call and talk with Gaara, stop him from find Sasuke and ripping his heart out.
"I'll see you then" Neji said and hung up the phone.
Naruto hung up the phone only to pick it back up, he dialed the man that was almost a brother to him, and waited. "What?" a gruff voiced
"Hey Gaara" Naruto replied
"Oh hey, Naruto. How are you?" Gaara asked
"Fine" Naruto lied through his teeth
"Hn" Gaara said, Naruto sighed he could almost see the glare from the older male.
"Honest" Naruto tried
"Hn" Gaara replied waiting for Naruto to stop lying, and just confess
"Ok I got some bizarre information today." Naruto said "You aren't going to like it, it involves Sasuke."
"Hn" Gaara said, ready to put out a world wide man hunt to find that bastard that hurt his young brother.
"Sasuke got me…. Pregnant" Naruto whispered the last part but he could tell Gaara heard him and frowned.
"Naruto would you kindly repeat that last part?" Gaara asked however it was more of a demand
"I'm pregnant" Naruto said
"Hn" Gaara said "I'll send Tamari to stay with to make sure you are taking care of yourself."
"Gaara that won't be necessary, since I already got a roommate" Naruto lied
"Wow that was fast" Gaara said
"Yeah well, Sasuke left in the middle of the month saying to keep the extra rent, so I had to find someone fast." Naruto said
"Fine, but need anything at all call me." Gaara said
"I will" Naruto replied, they talked on different subjects, Gaara's job, Naruto's job, how Naruto was feeling at this point, if he was taking care of himself, and other such thing, the conversation was going strong, when the door rang. Naruto looked through the peek hole and saw a delivery man from the local Ramen shop, and frown, he didn't order Ramen, not that it wouldn't go over well, it was just he was certain they made a mistake, although he wasn't sure how, he ordered almost every week, and went there for lunch most days of the week.
"Naruto, good to see you, here" The delivery man said and handed him the order, which of course was his favorite.
"Um, I'm sorry I think there was a mistake, I didn't order any ramen tonight." Naruto said
"No mistake, this was ordered by a friend." The man said, Naruto heard the almost silent chuckle, and sighed, it was like Gaara to order something for him if he felt Naruto wasn't eating right.
"Thanks Mac" Naruto said taking the order, he was bout to close the door, when a man stepped into his vision, he had long dark hair and the most unusual lavender eyes. His skin was pale, he wore a pair of dark jeans that hung to his body like they were painted on, his shirt was a bit looser, but not by much.
"Mr. Uzumaki?" the guy asked
"Yea. " Naruto said
"Neji Hyuuga" the guy said
"Come on in" Naruto said stepping out of the way
"Naruto who's there?" Gaara asked
"Gaara, I'll call you back later" Naruto said "Thanks for the ramen" With that Naruto hung up the phone.
"Let me just set this down in the kitchen and I'll show you around." Naruto said
"Sure" Neji said
Naruto set down the order of pork ramen, and return to the living room, Neji was looking around the room, with a somewhat fascination. The older male looked up at him and said "Where do you want to start, Mr. Uzumaki?"
"Call me Naruto,"
"Call me Neji, then." the other male said
"Sure, lets go. Why don't you tell me why you want to rent my spare room?" Naruto asked
"Well I just moved here. I've been living in a motel room, and I saw your ad in the paper, and decided that I should see about it. I won't be here much except to sleep, and for what I'm paying for rent at the motel I could rent a apartment cheaper, but since I won't be at home much, there is little need for a apartment, just a room." Neji said
"Ah, I understand" Naruto said "That's the eat in kitchen, everything is basically new, the landlord put it all in just before I moved in. " Naruto let Neji look around, while he leaned against the door frame.
"Not bad" Neji said
"I'll show you to the extra bedroom." Naruto said leaving the other man to follow.
The extra room was average size, the walls were a eggshell white, off the room was a bathroom. Naruto looked over at his room, he couldn't help but think about the last time him and Sasuke were in the room. They had just got done having the greatest sex, they were both relaxing, then Sasuke broke the news, it was over. Naruto of course did the only thing he could beg Sasuke to stay, of course making a bigger fool of himself then normal.
"MR. UZUMKI" Neji yelled
The blond blinked, and frowned "Hey call me Naruto"
"I did, but you didn't answer." Neji replied "So I will ask again, how much for the month?"
"Oh right, it's 750 for the month, but that is spilt in two, I pay half and you would pay half." Naruto said
"OK, so where do I sign?" Neji asked
"Well 'bout that, you're kind of renting from me." Naruto said
"That's fine, when does the need to be paid?" Neji questioned
"You pay the first month you move in, then pay the first every month." Naruto replied
"Ok." Neji said
