Okay! I hope you guys like this! I think you might find this chapter better if you listen to Little Wonders by Rob Thomas when the baby comes up on the screen^^ Gives it a happy feeling. Enjoy!
When we entered the hospital, Shizune greeted us with a warm smile. She was one of the nurses here at Konoha Medical Clinic. I was one of the doctors here but, I guess you can obliviously tell that I'm not working at the moment. I smiled at her and then up at Jiriaya. He leaned down and softly kissed my lips.
"So, Tsuande. What brings you here on a day off? Sick?" Shizune's face was puzzled. I can see why, though. It's really not normal seeing me here on a day off unless there's an emergency or I'm sick. Well, sadly, today it was the second one. I looked at Jiriaya, then my stomach, and back to Shizune.
"Well…..I…um….we had a little 'mishap' last night…and well…." I just couldn't get it out. She's my niece! How was she going to take this? I gestured her to come closer. And then I whispered: "I'm pregnant…" Shizune slowly pulled away from me. I noticed her expression. She smiled softly and then looked up. I'm guessing she's happy for me.
"Follow me. I'll take you to the sonogram rooms to get an ultra sound done. Sakura will be performing it; she's gotten really far in her studies." Shizune smiled at Jiriaya. We both walked forward, hand in hand. I walked past reception only to see Hinata and Ino working behind the computers.
"Hey girls. Since when did you guys work here?" I asked, confused. They both giggled.
"We started working here about 2 months ago. You just haven't seen us working because we were training with Sakura." Ino pointed out. I smiled at them and continued on towards the hallway. We seen something I never thought I would EVER see in my life! In the frames on the walls they'd put pictures of the newest staff members. Well…I really didn't see this coming. I looked at the pictures and seen this:
Naruto Uzumaki: Doctor
Kiba Inuzuka: Nurse
Sasuke Uchiha: Specialist
Kakashi Hatake: Janitor
Shikamaru Nara: Nurse
Temari No Subaku: Doctor
Gaara No Subaku: Specialist
Neji Huuyga: Pediatrician
I seriously couldn't believe what I was seeing. They were all working here? I thought they were out being ninjas! Not doctors! What's been going on here? Oh well….we needed more staff anyways.
I inched closer to the maternity ward. I passed Anko; she had been pregnant for about 7 ½ months now with Orochimaru's child. I also walked past Konan, Pein holding her hand. Kurenai and Asuma, Kurenai is also pregnant. So many people that I grew up with were now parents. It was unreal! I noticed Sakura motioning us towards her. When we were standing next her, she hugged me. I guess she found out already.
"I heard the big news! I'm so happy for you." Sakura smiled. We walked inside the room. In there was a monitor, curtain (for privacy proposes), hospital bed and chair. Sakura got me to sit up on the bed and slip off my coat. Jiriaya sat in the chair, holding on to my jacket. Sakura started asking me some questions, but then, Neji walked in.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Sakura I was just- Lady Tsunade? What are you doing in this area of the hospital?" He asked. I smiled and rubbed my belly. His expression went from being puzzled to a joyful smile. He nodded his head, waved goodbye and walked away. Sakura began to pick up on what she started.
"Alright. So what I'm going to do to is I'll just do the ultra sound and send the results to Sasuke. He's going to look at them and report back to Shizune. Sound good to you?" She asked, waiting for a response. Both Jiriaya and I nodded. I can't believe how well things have been going here. Shizune has exceeded my expectations. I'm really proud of her.
Sakura got me to lay down on the examination table, a.k.a the bed, and pulled my shirt halfway up over me. She rubbed some cold green jelly over my stomach. Grabbing the scope, Sakura turned on the monitor. Jiriaya came over to my side and held my hand, kissing my fingers.
"I'm here for you. Whatever happens, were together in this." He told me. I smiled at him and reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He blushed lightly.
"Are you ready, Lady Tsunade?" Sakura smiled. I could tell she was going to be nervous about this. I remember when I first trained her. She was 17 then. She's about 22 now and very talented, beautiful young lady. I treated her like she was my own.
The moment of truth was about to happen. She slowly started rubbing the scope over my jelled belly; the 3 of us were staring at the screen intently. I closed my eyes when after 2 minutes nothing happened. No heartbeat, no picture. Nothing. But then all of a sudden, I heard a little thumping noise.
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
I opened my eyes to see a little disfigured body on the screen. I could see the outline of his or her little head, body, feet and hands. Sakura smiled in amazement while Jiriaya was shocked. I felt tears coming to my eyes. I smiled and let them fall. They were tears of joy. I was looking up at Jiriaya now.
"It….it's our…baby." I sad between sobs. I was so excited but so scared all at the same time.
After that, Sakura took me to the nearest bathroom and got my stomach cleaned off. She sent the results to Sasuke's office and checked us in for a monthly check up. We left the hospital and went home. We ate supper, watched a little TV and I ended up falling asleep on Jiriaya's laps.
Wow…I'm actually going to be a mommy…
So? You Like? R&R Plz! And also! I don't really know why I put the others as doctors and stuff. I just couldn't think of anything :P
