A/N: I'm so sorry I took so long to update! I can't use my laptop at the moment because my sister stole my charger, but i'm working on it!
About an hour and a half later, Kabuto still hadn't arrived, Naruto hadn't moved from his spot next to the couch, and Itachi's condition was worse, his temperature a lot higher. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Naruto stood to open it, his face blank.
"Hello Naruto-kun," Kabuto said when the blond opened the door.
"Don't call me that," the blond glared.
"So is he still alive?" Kabuto asked.
"Yes," Naruto mumbled.
"Hmmm... I thought I was coming for a corpse..." the silver haired man shrugged, "Oh well," he walked over to the couch and Naruto shut the door. Kabuto grabbed Itachi's wrist and checked his pulse, as Naruto covered his mouth quickly.
"Fuck," Naruto's words were muffled by his hand as he ran into the bathroom and threw up the contents of his stomach. Kabuto let go of Itachi's wrist and looked towards the bathroom for a moment, before shrugging it off and placing a hand on Itachi's forehead.
"Hmmm he's pretty bad," he opened a bag he had set on the ground and pulled out a white first-aid kit. He opened the box and took out a syringe before going through the small glass bottles, reading the names on them. He stopped when he found a light blue one and pushed the syringe into it, pulling the end back and watching as the liquid filled the syringe. He tapped the syringe twice and pushed the end in a bit to get the bubbles out, then injected it into Itachi's arm. He slowly removed it from the ravens arm as Naruto walked back into the room.
"There's a fifty percent chance of it going either way," he said to the blond boy. "If he does survive though, he won't be allowed to move for the next twenty-four hours," Naruto nodded, "This stuff is toxic so it could be the reason he dies instead of the morphine, so watch him closely," When Kabuto finished talking, Naruto nodded again, before suddenly groaning and clutching his stomach. Kabuto paused on his way to the door to go through his bag again, and threw a bottle of pills to Naruto.
"What are they?" Naruto asked with Narrow eyes after he caught the bottle.
"That will help with the morning sickness, if you need anything call," the silver haired man said before leaving.
Itachi's eyes opened around 12:30 the next day, while Hari was raiding the kitchen, and Naruto was asleep against the couch. The raven tried to sit up, but groaned in pain, causing his little blond to wake up.
"Mmm Itachi...?" Naruto asked sleepily as he looked over at the Uchiha, who fell back to lie down again.
"Hn?" he grunted, and Naruto placed a hand on his cheek, smiling gently. "What happened?"
"You missed your vein with the morphine and Kabuto came and helped," Itachi nodded slowly, "He said you can't move for twenty-four hours," The raven just sighed. Suddenly Naruto shifted into a monkey, and began cuddling up against his raven haired lover.
"Naruto, I prefer it when you are human," Itachi mumbled weakly, and Naruto's overloaded hormones caused him to over react, once again.
"Y-y-you don't like me as a sh-shifter!" the blond cried out as he shifted into a dog. He ran to the front door and managed to get it open, before walking out.
Itachi shakily pushed himself off the couch, his mind set on going after the shifter he was so infatuated with.
"Naruto?" he called out when he walked outside.
'What?' the shifter asked in his head, but the small boy was nowhere in sight.
"Please come back," the raven requested.
'Why?' Itachi knew the blond would not come out, because he was upset, but that didn't stop the Uchiha from trying. Suddenly, Itachi heard sobbing from the side of the house, and walked around until he saw his blond, with his arms wrapped around his legs and face buried in his knees.
"Naruto," he called out gently as he walked towards his blond, but Naruto only continued to sob. After a moment, Naruto looked up slowly, tears streaming down his face.
"I... I'm all f-fat and ugly!" Naruto cried out, and the raven tried not to show his suprise on his face at the boy's sudden change on what he was upset about.
"No you're not," Itachi said softly, and as caringly as he could.
"R-really?" Naruto asked and Itachi nodded. Itachi's words caused Naruto to grin suddenly, and kiss his raven haired boyfriend deeply, while the Uchiha kissed him back just as passionantly. Naruto pulled his raven closer, but instantly pulled away when Itachi winced, remembering he was still sore.
"I'm sorry!" He exclaimed.
"It's fine," Itachi mumbled. "It's probably a side effect from the antidote," Itachi explained. Suddenly, Itachi started coughing, bringing his hand to his mouth, causing Naruto to look at him. After a moment, he pulled his hand away from his mouth to see small red dots of blood all over it, and clenched his hand into a fist, causing his blond to whine.
"Oh... Itachi are you alright?" Naruto asked after gasping, but Itachi just walked into the house, then bathroom. Naruto followed him but he shut the bathroom door before he could get in, and leaned over the sink while Naruto stared at the door. The shifter walked into the bathroom and looked over at Itachi, who started coughing again, blood dripping from his mouth into the sink. In his panic he walked over to Itachi, but Itachi held his arm out so Naruto couldn't see the sink.
"Naruto," he mumbled, but Naruto just growled. "I need you to call Kabuto again," Naruto nodded slowly, and when Itachi didn't look at him he walked out of the bathroom. Naruto walked over to the couch and picked up the phone, and called Kabuto.
'Hello?' Naruto heard Kabuto ask through the receiver.
"Hi," the shifter said uneasily.
'Can I help you Naruto?' the medic questioned.
"Itachi needs help again," Naruto answered.
'What are his symptoms?' Naruto was barely holding in his frustrations, he didn't want pointless questions, he wanted Itachi better.
"Ummmm... Coughing up blood," the small boy mumbled.
'That is a side effect from the toxin in the antidote, he wasn't supposed to move. He will be alright you just have to make sure he doesn't move or it will get worse,' Kabuto explained.
"Okay... Thanks," and with that they both hung up. Naruto put the phone away and walked into the bathroom to see Itachi holding a blood covered towel to his face. "Itachi, bed. Now," Naruto ordered, and Itachi walked out of the bathroom, with Naruto following close behind.
"Kabuto said you'd be fine, you just can't move," Naruto said with a sigh as he and Itachi walked into the bedroom and both laid down on the bed, Naruto curled up next to his raven. Itachi wiped the blood from his face and through the towel off the bed, and Naruto wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist gently as Itachi closed his eyes.
"Naruto would you like to set up our child's room tomorrow?" Itachi asked.
"If you want to..." Naruto replied, slightly unsure.
"I will get the house fixed up," Naruto nodded to that, before shifting into a rabbit. Itachi closed his eyes and Naruto huffed, burying himself under Itachi's arm. The blond rabbit shifted around slightly, getting comfortable before his head popped out between Itachi's arm, and he laughed in Itachi's head, causing the raven to open his eyes, raising an eyebrow questioningly.
'I'm a bunny,' Itachi knew if he could, Naruto would be grinning at that moment.
"You can be very childish at times Naruto-kun," Itachi mumbled.
'But i'm so cuuuuuute,' the rabbit gave the raven its best cute look, but Itachi only closed his eyes. Naruto snuggled into his lover's side, and they slowly fell asleep together.
Two months later, Naruto could be found, sitting on the couch eating a pickle, ice-cream and beef sandwich. By then he was three months pregnant and his stomach had grown. During the day he had some how managed to shift into a horse and accidentally knock over and break a lot of things. Only a moment after he finished his sandwich, Itachi walked into the house, noticing how trashed it was. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair before he began to clean up.
Itachi froze suddenly, walking into the bathroom and throwing up. The blond heard him and walked into the bathroom to see Itachi cleaning his mouth out in the sink.
"What's wrong Itachi?" Naruto questioned, worry etched into his voice.
"I went to work, it is just the after effects of the injection," and with that Itachi walked out and continued to clean.
"Uhh... I'm sorry about the mess," Naruto mumbled as he followed Itachi.
"Don't worry about it," the raven said, and the shifter helped him clean. Itachi stopped when he got to Sasuke's room, opening the door and staring into the room.
"I still haven't been able to clear it out..." Itachi murmured to himself.
"You don't have to," Naruto told him gently.
"I have to get over it at some point," Itachi stepped into the room and looked around. He walked past the desk, letting his hands brush over the slightly dust covered items, before sitting on the bed and picking up a picture of himself and Sasuke. Naruto hadn't known Sasuke like Itachi did, so he felt like he was imposing. He knew he didn't belong there at that moment, so he left to lie down on the couch.
After around half an hour, Itachi decided he had been in his little brothers room long enough, and he should spend some time with his shifter, who was probably feeling very lonely at that time.
"Naruto," He called out, but received no answer, so he tried again, only slightly louder. When he once again received silence as his answer he stood and walked into the loungeroom, where he found Naruto...
