It had been a long and tiring day for Naruto and Sasuke and both wished just to go home to their apartment and sleep the rest of the day away, with no sex involved. "Naruto?' Sasuke inquired looking at his lover "What do you think of all of this?" the look on his face was new and unused. Sasuke looked genuinely worried.

"I dunno" Naruto replied "I never gave it much thought really. I suppose it would be kinda nice to have a baby." That wasn't the answer that Sasuke was looking for. "Nice? You do realize it's a baby we're dealing with right?"

"Yeah I realize it's a baby we're talking about! But still, you always went on and on about restoring your clan and now that you're pregnant you act like it's a sin to have it!" Naruto had a loud but right point. Sasuke glowered at him "I never meant for myself to be the one having the baby and your right. This is just an instalment to my clan " he said pointing to his abdomen. "It's a bonus if it's born with the Sharingan"

Naruto was shocked. Anyone would be most likely would be ecstatic over this but Sasuke seemed so cold toward the child inside his body. "How can you say that?" Naruto asked "Its half yours and its inside you and you act . . . you act like its only livestock!"

Livestock? Naruto wasn't serious, was he? Being the over emotional type he ran off before Sasuke could see the tears pour down his face leaving Sasuke alone to think alone. 'What's his problem?'

Sasuke opened the door of the apartment listing to it creek slightly before stepping in. He walked into each separate room noticing Naruto wasn't in any of them. 'I didn't hurt his feelings that bad did I?' Sasuke shook his head and walked into their bed room and sat down on the bed they shared and observed the room.

It was simple but maybe just a tad too simple. Hardwood floors with grey walls and black bed sheets. Nothing on the walls and only one picture on the dresser. Him and Naruto with an arm over each others shoulder, Naruto had a huge exuberant smile on his face that crushed Sasuke's shy smirk. If you looked hard enough, you could see Sakura in the back ground flipping out when she had heard the news of them being gay and soon afterward almost everyman came out of the closet. Hell even Ino and TenTen came out leaving Hinata, Choji and Sakura the only straight ones left.

Sasuke sighed and noticed that he was touching his stomach. An eyebrow raised in question of why he was doing this. Maybe because Naruto was on his mind and Naruto did make this thing inside him, or Sasuke did think of this thing more than livestock. One reason Sasuke acted so hesitant and cold about the baby is because he was scared out of his mind. This was a baby they were dealing with. A huge change for Sasuke and the only way to deal with it was to act cold in hopes that the baby would turn into an ice cube for the next nine months so they could adjust to the fact of having a baby. But all of it was coming to fast and before they could get things straightened out Sasuke would be too big to see his feet.

All the important matters that needed to be taken care of. Money being the main one. They would need a stable income of money and the outcome would be had to be spent on bills but with the baby figured in that meant they would have more outcome than income. Hospital bills for check ups, perinatal medication, and everything the baby needs. But the emotional and metal changes would be the hardest. With the baby growing Sasuke had to everything right to keep it healthy and it was growing like every other fetus does. Sasuke wasn't looking forward to fact it would look like he stuffed a beach ball under his shirt. His emotions would be unstable with all this stress put on his body.

But one thing Sasuke didn't figure in all this dooms day thinking was Naruto. Naruto always found a way out of a problem with pure determination. He would get another job to pay for everything and still be able to give Sasuke the emotional support he needed even if he was only hanging on by a thread of sanity due to all this stress.

He'd also make an amazing father . . .

Sasuke never figured in Naruto at all. Naruto had always been alone and had nothing to his own. Sasuke could remember how happy he was when they got together. He was still smiling inside all the time. With the news of the baby sure he acted aggressive but that's because he didn't want to get Sasuke's feelings to be hurt but his real feelings were amazement. He wanted to have this baby more than anything. He would know that this child would have a happy and fulfilling life with both parents.

No wonder he toke Sasuke's words so hard.

Sasuke got up and walked to the bath room. He needed a long hot shower to think things out some more. But before all that Sasuke grabbed the weight scale from under the sink. He stepped on it and looked up at the ceiling with his arms crossed staying perfectly still he waited . . . and waited. He looked down and was oddly surprised as he noticed the scale declared he lost a little weight.

Odd . . .

Up on the highest branch of one of the tallest trees Konoha had to offer sat a ninja with a lot on his mind. 'Why would Sasuke say those things?' Naruto looked up at the sky and how sky and how the blue was slowly turning into pink with the setting sun. 'Having a baby is a blessing but he doesn't think so'

Naruto felt like crying again even though he just bawled his eyes out earlier. 'What is he going to do with the baby? And who do I stick up for? The baby or Sasuke?'

Naruto felt more hot tears run down his redden cheeks. No one was more deep than him. No body. Naruto had feelings for Sasuke and loved him more than anyone else but the baby . . .

The baby was an innocent being doing what it had to survive. That same baby would be born to become a shinobi and be Naruto's life. Besides mixing Naruto and Sauke's looks would make an adorable child.

Naruto got up from his tree branch and wiped the tears from his eyes. "I have to talk to Sasuke" he said with jumping down and toward home.

Sasuke stepped out of the shower while drying his hair dry. Raven black strands of lose hair stuck to his face. Pulling the towel from his head to his waist he looked up and saw the full length mirror they kept in the bathroom. Sasuke had told Naruto it was a stupid idea to buy that thing and it was even more stupid to place in the bathroom.

What was the purpose? To watch yourself masturbate or to look at yourself naked? Sasuke would soon hate this mirror more than he already did. Curiosity got the best of Sasuke and finally gave in and turned to his side, facing the mirror he tried to push out his stomach so simulate being pregnant. Too bad his deepest breath didn't change his figure at all.

"I think it looks kinda cute" Sasuke whipped his head around to see Naruto leaning against the door frame like a shy little child. Sasuke tied the towel at his hip while huffing out a gruff 'humph'. Naruto flinched slightly but still was still looking at Sasuke with huge blue eyes "Do you want me too sorry or something?" he asked Sasuke who walked passed him, not giving Naruto a second glace.

"No" Sasuke replied disappearing into their bed room closing the door in his face. Naruto was slightly confused at the door in his face "Then what do you want me to say?" he asked on the outside of the door while listening to the light bustling inside.

"Nothing" Sasuke said sighing "I m the sorry one" Asteroid and several smaller planets should be hitting the earth of now for Sasuke just said he was sorry. Naruto felt really light headed right now. "I didn't mean those things I guess"

Naruto was on the verge of dying due to lack of oxygen to his brain. "Im just scared" Sasuke added.

Naruto was trying to keep himself from passing out "I am too" he rasped out trying to stay on his feet. There was still silence. Naruto listened intently on any sounds besides his own breathing but nothing could be picked up. "Naruto"

finally some noise from Sasuke "Come in" Naruto opened the door almost afraid of what he would see But instead the sight was rather funny . . .

Sasuke was sitting on the edge of the bed with this unexplainable expression on his face. A mix of worry and hope. But most noticeable was the pillow stuffed under his shirt. "Would you still love me even if I looked like this?" he asked. A grin popped up on Naruto's face. Sasuke was more worried on how he would look like with a nine-month old fetus inside him than anything else. "I think it adorable" Naruto replied hugging Sasuke while pinning his pillow belly between them.

"You're squishing your pillow baby" Sasuke said in attempts to get Naruto off.

"Oh no! My pillow baby! Im sorry little baby." Naruto cooed to Sasuke's fake tummy. Sasuke mentally sighed and a tiny smile came on his lips.

"Thanks . . . Kyuubi" he spoke out in an inaudible whisper.
