Before I say anything, the story will get happier…I think, still debating. No it's not. Sasuke's going to leave Naruto who in turn kills himself. Eep! I didn't say that! My darker half did! She's the reason I wrote this! AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! At least I hope not…

Navi (anon.) the laws of genetic are retarded. Both our parents have dark brown hair, almost black for my dad, but all four of their kids have blonde hair. Genetics is complicated and can go any which way it pleases. If you've ever seen that one episode of Full Metal Alchemist where what's-his-name gets a blind date with muscle-head's sister. He goes over all the possible ways of what she would look like only to find that she looks pretty and not a weird combination of her mother and father. Alright I'm done. Please read.Chapter 3


It had been two weeks since the once happy couple lost their joy. No one would even say anything relating to the word 'baby' when Naruto or Sasuke were around. The word was taboo so to speak. Even pregnant woman had to stay out of Sasuke's sight or his sad expression will turn to one of rage. Sakura and Ino held off all conversations about Ino's baby, which was due in one month. Naruto didn't even try to put on a happy face when he walked around town without Sasuke by his side. People hardly see the two together or heard words shared between the two. It didn't change at home either. Sasuke would be on a mission all day, every day, and not tell Naruto how long he'll be gone. Naruto doesn't even ask either. Lately all he does is walk aimlessly around town or lie around the house not even bothering to clean or anything. Everything's been going down hill for the two. Neither bothering to help the other like they used to.

Sakura, Hinata, and Ino have been over to the Uchiha house every day to make sure Naruto is okay. Well okay as in he hasn't killed himself. This time Sai comes along. Apparently, him and Hinata have been dating. Sakura and Ino wanted to strangle the girl for not telling them. (1) Hinata explained that she was but hadn't found the right time to say that she was dating the boy.

When they reached the house, Naruto was in his bed, alone like always. It seems that Sasuke cant handle sleeping next to the person that lost his first child so he sleeps on the couch. The raven haired Uchiha was getting ready to leave for another mission.

"Don't you want to say good-bye to Naruto?" Hinata tried.

"Yeah Sasuke, I'm sure he'll wonder where you're going," Ino said. Ino was kind of hiding her stomach behind Sakura and Hinata.

Sasuke gave the girls a blank look. He could still see Ino's swollen tummy. So after glaring at it for a second, Sasuke took off without even a mumbled goodbye.

The girls sighed and another failed attempt to get the two to love each other once more. That's around the time Naruto steps out his room. "He left didn't he?" everyone nods their head. Naruto lowers his eyes to the floor. "So what brings you guys here?"

"We just came to see how you were doing," Sakura said walking over to give the boy a hug. It was only a one-sided hug. The pinkette looks sadly at her ex-teammate. "Naruto things will get better, you just got to put a little in."

"I did, I put my whole heart in to it only to have it be torn to pieces and die," tears begin to fall and Sakura's should looks like a good spot to cry on. The pinkette rubbed his back. The other two girls go over there to comfort the boy too. Sai stands there not knowing what to do.

After about half an hour of crying, Naruto makes everyone something to drink. They were all seated at the table, Ino and Sakura on opposite sides, Hinata and Sai sharing one, and Naruto opposite of them. "So when'd you two get together?" Naruto question the couple in front of him.

Hinata blushed a little. "Almost a year," she said softly.

Her three friends exploded. "You've been dating that perv for a year and you didn't tell you best friends?" they were half mad at the Hyuuga for not telling them and half surprised they hadn't realized it. They thought that if Sai ever went out with someone, guy or girl, he would do perverted things like grab his/her butt in public. And what does Hinata even see in him? "He's actually a real gentlemen when he wants to be. And…um…well…" Hinata had trouble explaining the other reason she likes being with Sai.

"The sex is great," Sai finished for her with a smile on his face. Hinata's face turn a dark shade of red. It was a little embarrassing to have her friends find out that the sweet innocent Hyuuga girl is not a virgin.

Sakura and Ino were at a lose for words. Naruto just stared at them with his mouth hanging down. "Gee Naruto, you look like you're waiting for someone to stick something big in there," Sai said. The girls gasped, along with Naruto but then they placed their hands over there mouth. Stupid perverted bastard.

"Oh yeah, there's something I forgot to tell everyone," Hinata began. "Neji and Gaara will be visiting Konoha for six months, along with Temari." This was an interesting piece of information. Neji hasn't returned home since he moved to Suna with Gaara and he only sent one or two letter a month. So why would he come back to Konoha with Gaara for so long? And isn't it bad for the Kazekage to be out of his country for that long? "Kankuro will be staying behind as substitute Kazekage. But I'm not so sure why they would stay so long. Neji never said."

Everyone tried to think of a good reason why they would visit for that long. "Maybe Temari convinced Gaara to let her visit so she can see Shikamaru and Neji wanted to see how everyone's doing and Gaara doesn't want to be left alone with Kankuro," Ino guessed.

"No way, Gaara would never give in to anyone and Neji hasn't been home for like three years, why would he come now for no reason?" Sakura interjected.

Ino rolled her eyes. "Okay, billboard brow, why do you think they're coming?" the blonde hadn't call her best friend that in a long time.

"Well…uh…I don't know! We'll just have to wait and see," Sakura said.

"See you don't even have a…" Ino stopped talking and looked down at her stomach. She was taking deep breathes now. Everyone looked at her with concern. "Guys, my water just broke." that was everyone's cue to freak out. Sakura and Hinata were trying to help Ino up and keep her calm. Hinata asked (ordered) Sai to find Choji. And Naruto…he sat there giving his cup a sad look. He wondered if this would happen if he was still pregnant and his water broke. Would Sakura and Hinata be by his side to help him? And would Sai go find Sasuke? Guess he'll never know that answer.

Ino was in labor for 14 hours. That was 34 hours of hell! Choji almost lost circulation in his hand from Ino squeezing on to it. The blonde girl kept yelling at everyone that came into the room. She even yelled at her doctor. Sakura and Hinata tried to calm her but nothing was working. Ino's dad was in there too. His hand was close to being crushed by Ino. Once the baby came out, everything calmed down. It was a boy as expected. He had light brown hair and blue eyes. Chihiro weighed about 7 pounds and was 17 inches long. He was an adorable little thing. So adorable, Naruto wished he had his.

When Naruto got home, he went straight for his bed. He was really happy for Ino and Choji. They were good people and they deserved to have Chihiro. But so did he. So did Sasuke. They deserved to have a child too, didn't they? Sure Sasuke betrayed the village but he made up for that by killing Orochimaru and separating Akatsuki. And Naruto's never done anything so bad as to deserve to lose his child. So why? Why was fate so cruel to him?

There was a click sound from the door. Naruto looked to see a figure walk in and over to the dresser. The blonde called out the person's name. "Sasuke?"

The raven haired looked at the boy sitting up in bed. There was no expression on Sasuke's face. Naruto, however, was on the verge of tears. "Please, Sasuke, please sleep here tonight…with me." Naruto missed the warmth they shared in the bed. It was like a long distant memory.

Sasuke didn't say anything. He turned back to the dresser, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom. The door closed behind him and running water was heard. Naruto cried silently to himself.

Meanwhile inside the bathroom, Sasuke sat on the toilet with his head down. He still had his clothes on and he wasn't using the toilet. No, he was just sitting there. He would be in the shower washing off the sweat from his mission if Naruto hadn't asked him to sleep in the same bed as him. Don't get him wrong, Sasuke still loves Naruto but he's afraid, in a way. He's afraid that if he lays close to him, Naruto would get pregnant once more and they would lose the child once again. He would surely break if he lost another child. And he could bet so would Naruto. So to protect both their hearts, Sasuke will stay away from Naruto no matter how much it pains him to see the hurt in his lover's eyes.

After awhile, Sasuke gets up from the toilet and takes a shower. The only thought running through his mind is how could the water is starting to get. Maybe it was a bad idea to let all the hot water run. Once he was done cleaning himself, Sasuke stepped out the shower and dried off. He put his night clothes on and his dirty clothes in the basket. Quietly, he walked out of the bathroom. He couldn't help but look at Naruto's sleeping form. The urge to give the boy a kiss was too strong. It was a soft kiss on the forehead, Naruto barely felt it. With a soft apology, Sasuke went into the living room and fell asleep on the couch.


(1) For those who are lost and are thinking wait aren't Kiba and Hinata together, that's wrong! Hinata and Kiba went on one date, end of story. And as those who are thinking wasn't Sai gay, no he's not, Hinata turned him straight/bi and yes those can happen, my friend turned my gay friend bi.

It's short I know but I'm sorry I cant help that. Of course you cant, just like you cant help the fact that Sasuke will leave Naruto and Naruto will kill himself. Shut up that's not going to happen! It will if you don't get some reviews, you review-whore. My darker-half's being mean -tears- please review so I won't have to kill Naruto. I don't want to!
