I love the triplets just as much as you guys. :3 There's gonna be some cutesy moments when Kisame and Itachi's kid is born, as well as Deidara and Sasori's… But, of course, we're gonna have some of those moments with the triplets and their parents, too xD

Kisame felt a hand rest on his cheek, and he opened his eyes to see Itachi. They kissed, and the shark man grunted lightly. "Go easy on the pickles, next time…" came a bit of a mumble. He smiled when the other male laughed lightly, and then pulled him in for another kiss. "You eat enough?"
"Yeah- Hidan and Kakuzu are putting the kids down for a nap, so you can go eat, now." Itachi smiled as Kisame sat up, yawning and stretching.
"I think I shall, then." The shark man murmured, getting up and stretching a bit more. However, before he made the trip out to the dining room, he wandered to Itachi and gave him a bit of a hug, and a kiss. "We'll have to make sure ours doesn't pick up anything from the triplets, or Hidan." He murmured, a hand shifting to rub at the Uchiha's belly.
"Maybe, if we need to, we'll let Sasori-san, and Deidara baby-sit." Itachi replied, smiling and resting his hand on the blue man's.
"If we need to." A fourth kiss, and Kisame was off to satiate his growling stomach. He slipped into the living room and noted Sasori sitting at the table, yawning. "Hey, 'Sori." The shark man murmured, nodding at the wave he got, before raiding the fridge.
A set of peanut butter and jam sandwiches were made, and the large male sat at the table. Kisame blinked at Sasori, who was trying to talk behind a yawn.
"How is Itachi doing?" the redhead asked, covering his mouth with his hand. He was losing sleep because Deidara was having a hard time with the pregnancy, and that made him worried at times. Kakuzu finally had told them that the blond should just stay in bed for most of the time. That didn't help any.
"He's doing okay…" Kisame murmured, seeming cheerful about that fact. "He's been sick the past few mornings, and he was eating a few weird things today, but he seems fine. How's Dei?" he dug into his second sandwich.
"Sleeping." Sasori said, with partial relief. "He's been having weird dreams, and hasn't slept much the past few days." He gave a small smile as Kisame patted him on the shoulder.
"You look pretty beat, yourself. Maybe you should go nap, too, since that seems to be what a lot of people are up to, right now." The shark murmured, meaning not only Deidara, but the triplets. A sense of relief filled the room as Kakuzu wandered into the room, not unlike the relief he and Itachi had felt when returning from their mission. The stitched-nin sat at the table with them, yawning. Apparently, all the 'fathers', but Kisame, were feeling quite a bit of strain.
"Kids asleep?" Kisame asked, starting on his third sandwich. He chuckled when he got a nod. "I'll bring you the pay we got from our mission, later." Smirking lightly at the grunt he got in response, he worked on finishing his third, and starting on his fourth and final sandwich. "You guys should get some sleep- I think Leader-Sama had a meeting planned for later today." The shark stood, and offered a wave, before making his way back to the room. Itachi was in the shower, so he wouldn't get yelled at for finishing his brunch on the bed. Eventually, he mumbled a 'screw it', and went and joined the other in the shower.
After bidding goodbye to Kakuzu, Sasori trailed back to he and Deidara's room, yawning a few more times as he did so. Entering the room quietly, he shut the door behind him and wandered over to the bed where a sleeping blond with a rather swollen stomach lay curled up. The redhead smiled softly at one of the first peaceful looks the clay-master had since discovering the pregnancy, and almost didn't want to do anything for a bit so it would last. However, as a large yawn so thoughtfully reminded him, he was tired.
Carefully crawling onto the bed, Sasori made sure he was on the side farthest from the bathroom, in case Deidara needed to run to it at any given time. Curling up next to the other male, the redhead held his breath a bit as his partner shifted, but let it out as it was noted that he was snuggled up to. Smiling, he tugged the blankets closer to them both, before falling asleep.
The room of the artist duo was like that of Kisame and Itachi's, their used-to-be separate beds now pushed together for maximum comfort when curling up together. The difference between any given couples' rooms was that of the contents. Sasori and Deidara were artists, so remnants of their art hung around the room. Puppet parts and such took over what had probably been the redhead's side of the room, back when they weren't together. It mimic'd a workshop of sorts- however, the wood that was on a table didn't seem to be forming a puppet, but some sort of fence.
A bookshelf in the room held some dried clay figures Deidara had seemed to have picked up. It also had a large board leaning up against it, possibly for the artist to add any ingredients he needed to for his clay. There were a few bowls on the shelf itself full of powdered materials that he used for such a thing.
Finally, the marks of Deidara's weakness during the pregnancy, and Sasori's worry, hung closer to the bed. The floor donned unwashed dishes, and boxes of either salted, or sweet things, the blond tended to eat when getting hungry and not wanting to bother the puppeteer. As hard as it was on Sasori to try and make sure the blond was okay, it was hard on Deidara to feel so helpless and having to depend on the redhead for nearly everything.
For now, though, things were at peace between the two of them. The couple slept together on the bed, fingers laced together as they rested over a swollen area of Deidara's stomach, and an otherwise feel of ease and comfort around them.
Kakuzu would've been the last one to leave the kitchen, if Zetsu didn't appear just after Sasori left. He gave a grunt in hello, and ignored the sneer the black side of the plant-man gave him. After a few moments of nearly falling asleep at the table, he sighed and got up, ready to make his way back for a nap. He'd been tempted to just take over the couch, but with the arrival of the Oreo / Venus flytrap gone wrong made him rethink that.
"Leader-san wants you to report the findings of your mission during the meeting." "He states that the children are to come, as well." Zetsu watched as the stitched-nin gave a wave of acknowledgement as he left the room.
So Leader wanted to see the triplets? That was a bit… weird. He wondered if the kids could behave long enough, and not annoy the Leader of the Akatsuki. Doubtful, but he was used to Hidan, so he was sure they could manage. Entering he, Hidan, and the triplets' room, he smiled to himself as he spotted the four curled up on the bed and asleep. It was almost a sickeningly sweet sight.
Knowing they were all tired and would fall back asleep when he was comfortable, he crawled onto the bed and shifted Kire and Kiro around so all three triplets were in the middle, with he and Hidan on each end. Kakuzu smiled and yawned a bit as a hand reached over and took his, the white-haired zealot having woken a little and smiled at the sight of his partner crawling into bed.
"Leader-Sama wants to see them." Kakuzu murmured quietly, his free hand supporting the heads of the two closest to him, while Hidan had the third cuddled close to him. He shut his eyes as his partner gave a nod to him, and buried his face into the hair of Kire, who happened to be closest. The small boy nestled closer to his father, leaving Kiro in the middle, but far from unloved. The couple rested their hands next to one of his, and held his together, so they were all comfortable for the nap.
Kakuzu soon fell asleep, leaving Hidan to watch him for a little while, before yawning and falling back asleep as well. Their room was as messy, or worse, than Sasori and Deidara's. There were things dangling from shelves, clothes strewn about, and some crayon markings on the walls in the shapes of severed heads and limbs. There was a playpen with random toys strewn outside of it, though, the coloring books had effectively remained inside its' boundaries.
Chaos was Hidan and Kakuzus' room, but it was comforting chaos, as it marked that there was a family living there- not just a duo that only stayed there in between missions. Any and every weapons that the couple owned were safely locked in Kakuzus' office, Hidans' pike having nearly chopped off a small hand sometime in the beginning of the triplets' lives. To the Zealot's delight, the hand healed back quickly, marking that at least one of the three had his abilities.
Even as the weapons were stored there, the chaos continued into Kakuzus' office. He was packing things up and preparing to move them. There was an empty room next to he and Hidans' that he was going to occupy with for his office. That extra room attached to theirs would effectively be used as a room for the triplets. They weren't all going to fit on the one, two-bed pushed together, bed forever. Eventually, the kids would want a room of their own, anyways. The hideout was big, so eventually they would get a bigger one, but for now, they would get Kakuzus' office.
As the most of the Akatsuki either napped, or showered, a comforting silence hung around the hideout, albeit a whistling tune that came from a room away from the bedrooms of the members. The Leader of the Akatsuki leaned back in his chair a bit, looking over files and such. He was in an oddly cheerful mood, even if the tune he whistled matched the mood of a funeral. He never understood it, himself, but the thought of the S-Ranked Missing-Nin Organization becoming even closer of a family pleased him.
Maybe it was because he could teach the brats, if he so dearly wanted to. Minions… yes. That was it. He could train them well, to follow his orders as well as their parents. Whatever he decided, though, it would have to wait until all of them were born. He was going to see the triplets with his own eyes the next day, so that might also take in account of his decision. Speaking of accounts, he would have to discuss with Kakuzu how much more funds they would need to keep filling the fridge to feed all the mouths, plus the extra three, in the hideout.
Whatever it may be, they would manage.
In the next chapter- the meeting will come after everyones relaxation times. The triplets meet the Leader of the Akatsuki for the first time. The decision may or may not be made as to whether he will take their training upon himself, or not. Many a fowl-word will be spoken, and more strange foods will be consumed.
Please, Review! And if you guys have any weird food ideas you think either Deidara or Itachi would like, please let me know!
