Naruto had been sick for over a month now and Tsunade knew that something wasn't right. Naruto refused, saying it was just depression and that it would go away shortly, he would learn to cope without Sasuke until he returned home. Tsunade pulled Naruto's paperwork from her desk, and skimmed it for hours, he had been the only thing she could really focus on since Sasuke's departure. Sakura went over twice a week to check on him, she did his grocery shopping, and cooked most of his meals. Naruto barely went outside anymore. His bed and the couch was where he stayed most of the time, or the bathroom, which he had been spending the night in frequently. There was more than one morning where Sakura would find him curled up against the toilet with dried vomit on his cheeks. Naruto slept all day, and cried when he was awake. The food he did manage to keep down made him look healthier, but Tsunade knew there was something else wrong and she couldn't pin point it. She continued to skim his paperwork for hours until she found all the information on the Kyuubi inside of Naruto.
After reading, she gasped. The fox inside of Naruto is a female, who during the time of the attack, was protecting her babies. All of the normal functions of the female fox now apply to Naruto. And with that, Tsunade had begun to cry. It couldn't be true, her little Naruto, who's already heartbroken and unhealthy, couldn't be having a baby. Who knows how long Sasuke would be gone and now Naruto really needed him. Tsunade tried to calm herself down, she didn't know this for sure. She need to convince Naruto to come in for a checkup, if she told him it was just to ease her mind, he probably would and she would offer ramen, because no matter how sick or depressed Naruto is, he never turns down ramen.

"Sakura, I don't wanna go!" Naruto whined. "Too damn bad! Do you want Tsunade to be worried sick about you anymore? She can't even focus properly!" she yelled back at the blonde as she dragged him down the road to her office. Naruto shut up after that; he loved Tsunade and he knew that he wasn't worth her stressing out over.
Tsunade embraced him tightly when she saw him; it had been so long since she had seen him. He didn't look like himself and the concern was written all over her face. "Don't give me that look…I'm fine." Naruto managed a small smile. She kissed his forehead and took him to the exam room. Naruto did everything she told him to, until it came to urine sample. "What?! Why do you need that?! Am I dying?" he yelled. Sakura smacked herself in the face at his stupidity. "No you aren't dying, but you look really unhealthy, and I'm getting that urine sample whether you like it or not." She said back sternly. "Fine…" he said as he entered the bathroom. Tsunade explained to Sakura why she wanted the test done and Sakura was at a loss for words. "We just have to make sure we take good care of him if this comes back positive." Tsunade sighed and Sakura just nodded.
After about five minutes, Tsunade comes in with all the color gone from her face. "What?" Naruto sits up. Silence. "What?!" he yelled. "Naruto…you're pregnant." And with that, it was done. Naruto plopped down in the chair and stared blankly at her. "What…" he whispered, putting a hand over his stomach. Tsunade calmly explained everything to him about how and why this happened. "You'll carry like a woman would, but you'll get a C-Section when the baby is ready to come, I'll do all your appointments at your house, Sakura will do all your shopping, only your closest friends will know if you want them to come visit." She explained. Naruto was still in shock, which wasn't surprising. "How is Sasuke going to know?" he whispered, tears starting to spill. "When he comes back, we have no way of contacting him…" Tsunade said, saddened by the look on Naruto's face. "You're 7 weeks along." She smiled. "So it was conceived the night before he left me…" Naruto started crying more and ran to the bathroom to throw up. Sakura tucked his blonde locks behind his ears while he retched, her green eyes got very sad. Naruto was suffering, now even more, because Sasuke might not be home to see the birth of his child. Naruto's eyes rolled into the back of his head, he grew pale and collapsed. "Naruto!" Tsunade and Sakura yelled as they rushed to his side.
