A/N: So here's chapter two~! Sorry for the long wait and what not.
Chapter Two - Are You Ok?
Naruto carried me the whole way to Konoha, of course stopping for short breaks during the day and getting a nice rest during the nights. Kankuro still got dirty looks from not only my sister, but the other females and Naruto as well. He was made to keep a safe distance from me at all times, and carefully watched when conversing with me. It was blown out of proportions, though I did appreciate their efforts.
Konoha was as we had left it, a huge hole with many buildings all throughout it, though there was still a few buildings being built, something knew and possibly exciting. Naruto had told me about the recent renovations to build a bath house, as well as a better orphanage. Since the war, a lot of children had gone parentless, the rocket of orphans made Lady Tsunade rebuild the one they already have to accommodate so many children.
It was a nice thing for her to do, I also learned that Iruka, Naruto's father like teacher, got a job as the caretaker there when he's not busy with the academy of course. All in all, Konoha was back on it's feet and thriving more so than before. "BACK HOME~!" Naruto had yelled once we got into town, alerting those who were in the vacant area. I nodded to his enthusiasm, but shied away from his booming voice, still resting comfortably in his arms. "OH! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I CAN EAT ICHIRAKU RAMEEEEEN! RAMEN RAMEN RAMEN RAMEN!" Naruto sing songed, waving me in his arms. "N-Naruto." I heaved out, the fact of myself still being nauseous if moved to quickly. "Oh, sorry Gaara." Smiling apologetically, kissed my forehead lovingly as my feet touched the harsh stone of the gate floor. "I was just so excited to eat some ramen I forgot you were still in my arms." His smile grew as his hand lifted to the back of his head. A blush, I'm sure, was prominent on my cheeks at such an exclamation. It was as if he told me I was feather light, when I knew I wasn't. Weighing myself every morning, afternoon and night was a daily routine Lady Tsunade had me on.
"It's fine Naruto, I'm not harmed nor throwing my guts up." A small smile played at my lips, however his smile was a lot more so, a chuckle vibrating from his body in warm waves. "Come on Gaara, we need to get you situated at your new home for the time being. And of course to see Tsunade-baa-chan."
"Of course."
"And where... Naruto-kun, could that be?" Temari randomly popped up in between us, mainly looking toward Naru with a very watchful eye. "Uhm... With... Me?" His voice turned up at the end, clearly one of questioning. "Gaara should be next to the Hokage in case something happens she will be right there. This is the prime of the nine months. Where her contractions could either be false or true!" Temari's speech gave way to the obvious panic and rage at the idea of myself being with the blonde. "Yeah but! She's already had a few mix-ups in the last two weeks back in Suna! Sakura knows what she's doing too you know! I live... By her. You know." Pouting cutely Naruto crossed his arms across his chest, not wanting to give up. A characteristic I find quite attractive in the blonde. "Ah-!"
"Temari. Quit it. I will be fine. I can take care of myself." Speaking in a cool manner, hiding the quake in my voice with ease. In all honesty, the whole predicament scared me. I was not ment to bare children, I was born a male. With a penis and balls, to impregnate a female of my choice! Instead of being impregnated myself... But this is my life now, and this is how it shall stay. Having the final word, I turned and began to walk more into the town. Naruto was then right on my heels, walking beside me as if he were shielding me from those that would have bumped into me. "Are you hungry at all?" He asked glancing back to me with a soft smile. I had to think about that one, Was I hungry?
"No, I'm alright."
"Good good! Then we can just head home, throw our stuff inside and go to our check up with Tsunade-baa-chan!"
"Perfect."
He... Is addicting... Everything and anything about him. When we went to the check up, seeing how my child was fairing... I slipped up on the Hokage's name, and said Tsunade-baa-chan. Her shock, as well as my own and Narutos' was priceless. Tsunade was speechless, as well as myself, but Naruto... He busted out laughing. Cackling as he rolled around the hospital room in glee. Our eyes met and it was as if she spoke to me with just her eyes. Like she accepted me, to be with Naruto and accepted me in with her family. As if she were saying, 'You... Are the only other person to call to me so familiarly.' And then she looked toward Naruto with such caring eyes, lingering on his laughing form... A smile playing at her lips before she glanced back at me with a brilliant smile I only see her show Naruto.
One so full of love and care, like a mother to her young.
A blush formed on my face at such a display of affection. Her hand lifted and ruffled my hair, and our day went as usual.
A few weeks have passed and the pain have been getting closer and closer together. One fateful day... My water broke.
"N...Naruto." I stuttered out just as the pain began to form. It was excruciating, and centered around my back and just above my 'lady parts' "NARUTO!" I yelled again more getting his attention. He was making some ramen for us to eat. "WHAT!" He yelled back running into the room at record speed. He took one look at me, and instantly went into gear, running around the room grabbing the case of clothes, strapping it to his back and picking me up in one fell swoop princess style. "Hnngh!" I winced, panting harshly and uneven. "Breathe Gaara, like how Tsunade-baa-chan showed you." Smiling nervously he began to breathe how she showed, he sounded so funny going he he hoo he he hoo. However it helped lessen the pain. But only a fraction.
He barged into the hospital, me in his arms shouting at the top of his lungs that we needed Tsunade-baa-chan immediately. I was rushed into a wheel chair and brought to a private room all the way in the back of the hospital, a spacious room that I lay in wait to bare my child.
"Does it hurt? Are you ok? Do you need anything? Want some ice? Food? Water?" Naruto stammered on and on. "Naruto, I would like some ice." Forcing a smile on my face brought on a dazzling smile from him as he agreed immediately and ran from the room with a plastic cup in hand. Sighing out in relief at the quietness, gripped the side of the bed, as another wave of pain ran through my being. Holding my breathe, and then breathing out slowly as the pain subsided, heard the door slide open. Blonde hair was the first thing I noticed, the second would be the huge breasts that bounced softly in time with the clicking of her shoe on the floor. "How are you feeling?" She asked softly placing her hand on my forehead and cheeks, then to the IV dripping to my arm. "Fine." I lied letting out the puff of air I was holding. She smiled knowingly, running her hand through my hair softly. I closed my eyes to the soft feeling of her hand in my hair, something I had always imagined my mother doing to me.
"It will be over before you know it, just give it some time. And then you'll be able to see your child."
"I hope so." I breathed out in a gasp as the pain came again, they were getting closer and closer together, as well as longer. I am a strong shinobi, I've died and come back to life, but this was unbearable. My emotionless mask was breaking little by little until my eyes shown with tears, face contorting into one of an ugly sadness. "It hurts." I whined out to the big busted blonde in front of me. "I know hun, I know." She cooed to me, I couldn't help myself as I hugged the woman tightly, fisting her shirt tightly with the pain.
Just as the pain subsided and I was about to let go of Tsunade-baa-chan when the other lob of blonde hair barged in loudly, looking around frantically. "Gaara?" She aske stunned at the fact my arms were around the Hokage of this village. "Are you ok?" She asked voice full of concern, probably at my appearance, that consisted of messed up hair, hospital garb, and tears running down my cheeks. "I'm fine." I said wiping the tears from my face, her body coming closer and closer to me, with another body just behind her. "Gaara, you ok?" My brother's booming voice was to close and to loud in my ear. "Yes, I'm fine. Just..."
"Going into labor." Tsunade-baa-chan filled in for me, Temari and Kankuro's eyes bugged out a little as they then looked to me with smiles on their faces. "We finally get to see our niece of nephew!" Happiness was clearly heard from her voice, tears formed at her eyes and a blush spread across her cheeks. "Yes you do, and hnngh-" I winced and groaned in pain, this one lasted way to long for comfort. Just then my blonde rushed in, a cup of ice in hand. "I got the ice for you Gaara! Are you holding up alright?"
His eyes scanned the room noticing all the people. "Oh, yeah I called your siblings for you when I got your ice. Hope you don't mind." Walking toward me and handing me the freezing cup, sat next to me on the bed holding my hand just as tightly as I held his. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
