"So, where's the father?"

"He was busy."

"Too busy for the first hospital visit? Humph."

Naruto looked away from the piercing gaze of Doctor Tsunade Sannin. Instead, he trained his eyes on his belly, wondering if he was imagining that it was slightly bigger. It looked like he had had a big lunch. But that was all. Just a big lunch.

"Well, you're definitely pregnant, a month along. Everything is fine in there. Have you been educated on Male Pregnancies and how they work?" Tsunade sat back in her rolling chair, reaching inside her desk and pulling out a small flask. As usual. Tsunade Sannin was Naruto's godmother, chosen by his mother. She wasn't much help financially even being a doctor, she had a bad gambling and drinking habits, blowing most of her pay immediately. She was only good for free doctor visits though the blonde man rarely got sick.

But now he was more sick than ever. Naruto shook his head, he knew next to nothing about being pregnant. He knew it was more dangerous than with females, more precautions.

"First off, you do not have a traditional vagina. Understand? All births from males are c-sections, which is tricky all on its own. Inside your stomach, you have a womb. It differs slightly from the female version, it's not as strong and tends to extend more as the baby grows. You'll be huge!" The curvy woman laughed. "Most boys get the wombs removed at birth. It's a simply procedure, we can perform it on babies afterall. Well, it's not really removing—more like disabling."

The blonde cocked his head. "But if its disabled, could a male still get pregnant by some sort of chance?"

"Of course. There's always a very, very, small and tiny chance the procedure failed. That goes along with any surgery anyone could ever get though. But I've never heard of it. But nothing is impossible." She took a swig of her alcohol. "Anyway, a lot of these types of births are premature due to stress or emotional distress. Your mood swings will be a bit more dramatic than the usual with women. But on the plus side, you'll experience almost no morning sickness. You don't have to stop eating anything but fish, raw meat, some cheeses and uncooked eggs. Apples tend to be very good for you boys, and you can still eat ramen but moderate it. Absolutely no alcohol or smoking for you whatsoever! Be ready for the usual like aches, dizziness, fatigue. Try to keep your iron up, these babies love to act like vampires and keep it all to themselves. Meet with me once a month, but come again if you think anything is wrong, male pregnancies tend to need more attention."

"Okay," Naruto nodded, he could do that as long as it was free. "Thanks—"

"We're not through, brat! Now, remember, there is a child in your stomach. Any choice you make for the next six-ish to nine-ish months will directly affect him or her. I cannot stress enough how important that kid will be to you, Naruto. This is life changing, one of the biggest things that can happen to you. And, you are a man. People do not like the fact that you are with child, protect yourself and that baby. Don't go places alone, be aware of your surroundings at all times. Have people you trust check up on you from time to time." Then Tsunade cleared her throat. "I have to ask again, as a medic, explain to me the situation you have with the child's father."

Naruto sighed, swinging his legs from the high doctor bed he was sitting on. "It's Sasuke Uchiha."

The busty woman sputtered on her drink and sat up in her seat. "Christ, brat! Really? Now I seriously wanna know what's up."

"It was a one time thing! It just—happened. Well, he still has a girlfriend sorta. He told me he would support me and the baby and whatever choice I make. But it's hard, I don't know what I want to do and he doesn't want to have a say in the matter. He's just there. But he spent the weekend in my apartment, he helped me clean it. I'm completely confused." It was true, right about now Naruto just wanted to bitch and moan. Sasuke was two different people sometimes—the icy bastard and the thoughtful sweetheart. It was too back and forth for Naruto's liking.

Over the weekend, the two boys had apologized and reached some common ground. Neither had even mentioned the kiss they'd shared, it was like it didn't happen. The blonde was even starting to think it hadn't. Then, right before Sasuke left, he pecked him on the forehead. Naruto almost decided to jump off a bridge. School had been hell. The whispers were to be expected, just the harassment had gotten out of control. Gaara had detention for defending his friend, something Sasuke should be doing. But the raven had just sat with Neji and Ino, scribbling in his notebook without a care in the world. It was that sort of thing that made it seem okay for people to mess with Naruto, Sasuke didn't care so there would be no backlash.

"He's going to need to meet you halfway, Naruto. The way it sounds, Uchiha has an unhealthy mindset at the moment, his life has been a fairytale up until now. Time will tell if he is a man of his word. Either that, or you could make off with a pretty large sum of child support and get outta this shithole town." The doctor hiccuped. "Keep in touch, preggo."

Sasuke looked around his table in the library, irritated that they still had to travel by class. They were seniors for God's sake! He was sure they could handle going to the library of all places. He was seated with Shikamaru, Hinata, and Suigetsu. Across the room, Neji and Gaara shared a table, seeming to be having a civil conversation. Even their seats were assigned. The raven tapped his fingers on the wooden tables.

"Have you spoken to the idiot?" Suigetsu asked, chewing on the end of his pen.

"Do you really have the right to call anyone an idiot?" Sasuke whispered back, rolling his eyes annoyed. His friends were constantly looking for information on the happenings in his life and the smaller life that would arrive in some months.

"Psh! Smarter than that guy. C'mon, Sasuke. What's going on, why's he outta school, did he get an abortion, did you make him—"

"S-Suigetsu-kun!" Hinata whispered fiercely, her face turning red. "That's not appropriate."

Good thing Hinata had spoken up. Sasuke was about to lunge across the table and attack him. Just the mere bad-mouthing of the dobe had him all heated. He was making stupid decisions. Asuma-sensei turned around and pointed to their table, "Alright, you guys can go. Please make sure you get the right textbook."

Sasuke stood in a huff. He strode over to the bookshelves and began his search for the textbook Asuma had assigned. To make sure his students were listening, Asuma-sensei refused to tell them where the book was located.

As the raven filtered through novel after novel, the feeling of being watched crept up on him. It wasn't anything new but it annoyed him. Since he was in no mood, he turned and gave the full Uchiha glare to his stalkers. One fangirl flinched from the malice in his eyes but her friend continued to chew on her gum crudely. Then she paused, "You're in our way. Move." She drawled.

Sasuke raised his eyebrows. What had she just said? "Excuse me?" Did she recognize who she was speaking to? "You're out of line."

She popped her gum and crossed her arms. "No, you are. Faggot." Then she shoved her way through the raven, squeezing her way into his space and forcing him out with her elbow. Her little friend trailed behind her. The Uchiha stood to the side in shock as they grabbed the required textbook and left.

What had just happened, would never happen again. His mind was working twice as fast as normal, he knew the source of his followers disobedience. If the word 'faggot' had anything to do with it. It seemed all his problems stemmed from that blonde imbecile. Sasuke also knew he shouldn't be thinking like that, but he couldn't help it. His perfect rep, his perfect life, all his money—the years over kicking others from the social ladder was not going to amount to nothing. He was Sasuke' Uchiha and he would never be subjected to the ridicule that he placed on others.

Now that he had tasted the sweet and intoxicating juices of cider, he refused to ever settle for an apple. Sasuke didn't know how to go backwards in life.

He wasn't a commoner. Naruto was.

He grabbed the book and hurried to check it out. He then asked to be excused to the bathroom, but instead he went to the gym.

Sasuke walked in casually, going to sit in the dark green bleachers and watch the girls who were at p.e., they were playing volleyball. It was a common thing for people to hang around the gym during free periods, no questions would be asked about his presence. He leaned back, letting his joints claim as much space as they liked. He waited patiently for the girls to take note of him, which came shortly.

Two of them braved it and approached him, "Oh, hi, Sasuke." One tugged lightly on the ends of her hair, turning her feet to point inward. "Did you come to watch us play?"

"Yes, I thought I'd find something interesting." He grinned, slowly leaning forward. "Can you tell me if I've found it?"

The girls looked at each other and shared a frantic giggle. Then they turned back to him and nodded eagerly. But, today wasn't really their day. When Sasuke said he wanted something interesting, he was referring to the pink haired girl that was about to serve the ball in the wrong direction. The ball bounded from the edge of the bleachers, hitting one of the girls in the stomach forcing her to bend over. The other shrieked and turned to look at the girl that was more lip gloss than personality. They scurried toward the nurses office.

Sakura took her time making her way to Sasuke. When she finally did, she sat on the seat just below him. "So, what're you doing here? We've broken up, faggot." She said the word with much more triumph than insult. Because she knew she had won.

"I've come to tell you were back together. Starting tomorrow."

"Why not today?"

"I have shit to do."

"A blonde to fuck."

Sasuke scowled and ran a hand through his dark locks. He had thought Sakura would have been more compromising than this, she had always pined for him somewhere in that place inside her chest. "Look, he's having my kid, I can't ignore him. It'll ruin me, then you wouldn't be happy either."

Sakura adjusted the spanks she was wearing, letting them snap back tight against her fair skin with anger. "I hate the fact he's pregnant. I mean, damn. I've been working on you since 7th grade and he only needs one night. God," She flipped her hair. "Alright, we can get back together. But I have some ground rules.

"Speak."

"One, you can't sleep with anyone but me, and that includes that loser. Oh, and you're not getting any for a very long time. Two, no smoking. Three, if I so much as think your stepping out, I'm gonna release a hell like you've never known. I'm serious, people think I'm weak and dirty 'cause of you."

"Why can't I smoke?" That was the only part her cared about. It was a nasty little habit he'd picked up from his older brother.

"Four, you have to try to help that idiot. Not too much, but not too little. And when you do do something, I am to be present."

Now, Sasuke smirked. "You care about him. Even after all this time." He laughed.

Sakura scoffed and stood, "I'm going to be a doctor, Sasuke. I can't ignore the innocent baby, that's all. Plus, you were right." She stepped down from the bleachers. "If you don't keep up the appearance of a respectable and responsible man, how are we ever suppose to grow up and have a legitimate, unsoiled, and a proper family of our own?" She flounced off, happy to be under the security of an Uchiha again. The same way he was safer with her than without her.

When Sasuke arrived home that night, he realized he had checked out the wrong textbook.

I actually like Sakura the way I made her, so ambitious. The only person I hate is Sasuke, but I can't help it!
