Chapter 7!
"Naruto." Sasuke said softly as he shook the blonde awake. Naruto rubbed his eyes as he sat up from the lumpy couch in the hospital lobby.
"What' going on?" Naruto mumbled sleepily.
"Hey, Karin had the baby. You want to go see him?" Sasuke asked with a tired but excited smile. Naruto smiled and nodded.
"Of course." He said as he quickly got up. Sasuke took Naruto back to the room Karin and the baby were in, but one of the nurses stopped him.
"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san, only family is allowed in there right now." The nurse explained.
"This is my brother, so get out of the way." Sasuke snapped. Naruto smiled and tried not to laugh at the shock on the nurse's face.
"Sasuke. Naruto." Karin smiled tiredly from the bed.
"Hey, babe, how you feeling?" Sasuke smiled as he went and kissed her head.
"Still really tired." She yawned.
"Go to sleep." Sasuke kissed her and stroked her hair. Naruto chose to ignore the sickeningly sweet display between the man he loved and his lover and went to the small crib with a tiny baby sleeping in it. Naruto's breath caught in his throat, the baby was beautiful.
"Shit, you have some good genes." Naruto smiled.
"This is Tobi." Sasuke smiled as he picked to small baby up. Naruto smiled brightly as he looked at the baby Uchiha.
"He's beautiful, Sasuke." He smiled. He wrapped his arms around his friend and leaned on his shoulder, Sasuke rested his head against Naruto's. The two stood there, staring at the newborn for a few minutes. "Sas," He whispered.
"Hm?" The raven asked.
"You're happy, right?" he asked. Sasuke laughed softly.
"Yeah." He smiled. Naruto tightened his grip on the other man. He felt bad for wishing Sasuke wasn't happy. He didn't want Sasuke to be happy with a wife and kids because then Sasuke wouldn't need him anymore. After a few seconds, Naruto let Sasuke go and sighed heavily.
"Well, I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to go home." He yawned.
"Sure. Thanks for being here." Sasuke smiled. "You want me to take you home?" He asked as he laid Tobi back in the bed.
"No, I can walk." Naruto shook his head.
"I don't want you to walk home." Sasuke insisted.
"You shouldn't leave Karin all alone in here." Naruto told him.
"Then let me call Itachi to come pick you up." Sasuke said as he pulled out his cell phone. Naruto sighed but didn't argue. "Tachi, I need you to come pick Naruto up from the hospital and take him home." Sasuke spoke into his phone and hung up before Itachi could say anything. Naruto laughed softly.
"You know it's 3 am. Itachi's gonna be pissed." Naruto smiled.
"He can suck it up." Sasuke shrugged.
"I'm going to go wait for him in the lobby. You should try to get some rest too." Naruto smiled before leaving the room. Naruto didn't wait long before an angry, half awake Itachi stormed into the hospital.
"You know it's 3 am." The older Uchiha snapped.
"Sasuke didn't want me walking home." Naruto shrugged. Itachi sighed.
"Come on, let's go." He said. They made it out to Itachi's car to find Deidara half asleep in the front seat. He groaned tiredly as his chair was pushed forward for Naruto to get into the back seat.
"Hey, Dei-chan." Naruto smiled as he crawled into the car.
"So there's a new Uchiha baby, huh?" Deidara yawned.
"He's adorable." Naruto smiled.
"Of course, he's my adorable little brother's kid." Itachi smirked.
"Your little brother's not nearly as cute as you Tachi-san." Deidara smiled as he leaned across the seat to kiss Itachi. Naruto didn't miss the slight blush that tinted the tips of Itachi's ears.
"Okay, Naru-chan, do you want to come to our apartment or are you okay staying at your house alone?" Itachi asked.
"Can I stay with you guys?" Naruto asked softly.
"Sure, I made the guest bed up earlier." Itachi nodded. Naruto smiled slightly and nodded. He didn't really want to go to Itachi's apartment but he really didn't want to go home by himself. Itachi parked in the garage and opened the door for his lover and Naruto. Deidara leaned heavily on Itachi and Naruto realized Deidara was only in a pair of thin pajama pants.
"Tachi-san, it's cold." Deidara whined as he wrapped his arms around Itachi. The older raven smiled and shifted so that his jacket was partially around his lover and what wasn't covered by the jacket his arm was around. Deidara hummed happily and nuzzled into Itachi. Naruto smiled but couldn't help the twinge of jealousy at the sight of them. Itachi glanced over his shoulder at Naruto and, seeing the depression in the blonde's eyes, quickly grabbed him and pulled him to his other side.
"Keep up, Naru-chan." Itachi smiled as he wrapped his arm around Naruto's shoulders. Naruto smiled and held onto the hem of Itachi's jacket. It was comforting to have Itachi's arm around him. Itachi smelled somewhat like Sasuke, he was built somewhat like Sasuke and if Naruto closed his eyes he could almost pretend it was Sasuke. "Okay." Itachi said when they reached the front door. They went into the apartment and Deidara quickly went to his and Itachi's bedroom.
"Thanks for letting me stay here." Naruto smiled as Itachi lead him to the guest room, even though Naruto knew where it was.
"Don't worry about it." Itachi smiled. Naruto nodded and went into the room. "You need anything?" He asked.
"No, I'm good." Naruto smiled.
"Okay then, goodnight, Naru-chan." Itachi smiled.
"Night Itachi." Naruto smiled and shut the door. He laid down on the large bed and inhaled the lavender scented detergent Sasuke and Itachi used. "They really are brothers." Naruto smiled and snuggled into the sheets more. Naruto easily drifted to sleep and was awaken the next morning by Sasuke violently shaking him.
"Naruto, wake up." Sasuke called obnoxiously.
"What the fuck, Sasuke?" Naruto grumbled as he woke up.
"I'm not gonna make my brother babysit you all weekend. Karin said I should take care of you instead of worrying about her when she's surrounded by nurses." Sasuke smiled. Naruto growled and wrapped one arm around Sasuke before flipping so that Sasuke was on the bed and Naruto was on top of him.
"You woke me up at 8 in the morning for this bullshit?" Naruto grumbled. Sasuke laughed softly as the blonde settled on top of him. Naruto snuggled into Sasuke's chest, inhaling his scent.
"Sorry." Sasuke whispered as he stroked Naruto's hair. Naruto smiled and relaxed against Sasuke. "Don't go back to sleep, you're heavy you know." Sasuke said as he started wiggling.
"Don't do that." Naruto groaned.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"Don't move like that. I'm gay, remember." Naruto tried not to moan. Sasuke started laughing and pushed Naruto off of him.
"Sorry, sorry. Should I leave so you can take care of that?" He smiled. Naruto blushed deeply and glared at the raven.
"Shut up, asshole." He snapped as he quickly got out of the bed and ran into the bathroom connected to the guest room. Naruto could hear Sasuke trying to control his laughing fit. Naruto turned the cold water on in the shower and quickly got in, sighing with relief as his semi deflated immediately. "Fuck." Naruto sighed softly as he let the freezing water cool his burning body. Once he calmed down he got out of the shower and got dressed.
"You ready to go?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah." Naruto nodded. They went into the living room to find a mostly naked Itachi laying over a completely naked Deidara on the couch.
"We're leaving." Sasuke snapped, trying not to look at the two men humping on the couch. Itachi grunted somewhat of an acknowledgement but it was barely heard over Deidara's moan. The two younger men quickly left the apartment, blushing heavily.
"You're brother's a pervert." Naruto said softly.
"I think it's Deidara." Sasuke muttered, not wanting to think about his brother being a pervert. They silently made their way to Sasuke's car and then headed towards their house.
"How's Tobi and Karin?" Naruto asked after a long period of silence.
"They're good. Both are very tired." Sasuke answered.
"When are they coming home?"Naruto asked.
"In a few days." Sasuke told him.
"So are you gonna propose again to Karin? Now that she's had the baby she won't have to worry about gaining weight." Naruto said.
"Yeah, I'll talk to her about it." The raven sighed.
"Have you called your parents yet?" Naruto asked softly. He saw Sasuke's grip on the steering wheel tighten to where his knuckles turned white.
"Not yet. I haven't spoken to them for a while." He said softly. Naruto knew Sasuke hadn't spoken to his parents in over four years, and it was his fault. The only reason Sasuke was working for his family's company was because of Itachi.
"If you want me to," Naruto started.
"No offence, but I doubt you'd be any help talking to my parents." Sasuke sighed. Naruto bit his lip. Sasuke's comment had hurt, but he knew the raven was right. Sasuke looked over at Naruto and sighed. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
"It's true though." Naruto shrugged, trying to act casual. Sasuke sighed and reached over to ruffle Naruto's hair.
"It's not like I care. I'd rather have you than them." He smiled. Naruto smiled as well.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Okay, I'm starving. What do we want for breakfast?" Sasuke asked.
"I'll make pancakes." Naruto smiled.
"Sounds great." Sasuke nodded. They made it back to their house and Naruto immediately went into the kitchen while Sasuke went into his bedroom. Naruto mixed the batter from scratch and began cooking the pancakes. He was almost finished when Sasuke came back in.
"What were you doing?" Naruto asked.
"Making sure everything was ready for Karin and Tobi when they come home." He answered. Naruto bit his lip and nodded, he wanted to be happy for Sasuke but he just couldn't.
"I see. Pancakes are almost finished." He smiled.
"Awesome. I'll get plates and syrup." Sasuke smiled and pulled out the plates and syrup for their pancakes. Naruto piled two plates with about ten pancakes each and set them on the table. Sasuke poured some syrup over his pile of pancakes and Naruto drowned his pile in the syrup. "You're gonna make yourself sick." The raven commented as the blonde stuffed his face.
"Maybe." Naruto smirked.
"Don't come crying to me when you get the sugar crash and start puking." Sasuke scoffed. Naruto laughed.
"I wouldn't need to. If you heard me puking you'd come running to help me." He smiled. Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued eating. Of course the raven was right about the sugar making him sick and a few hours later Naruto was in the bathroom throwing up.
"I told you, you dumbass." Sasuke sighed as he rubbed Naruto's back and handed him a glass of water.
"It doesn't taste anywhere near as good coming up as it did going down." Naruto whined. Sasuke smiled softly and stroked Naruto's hair. "I don't feel good." He said miserably.
"I know." Sasuke smiled. The rest of the day was spent in the bathroom with Naruto whining and Sasuke trying to comfort him. That night Sasuke and Naruto slept in Sasuke's room. Naruto spent the whole night staring at the baby crib, nervous about what would happen when Karin and Tobi come home.
The few days passed and soon Karin and Tobi were out of the hospital. Tobi was an extremely well behaved baby, Naruto was pretty sure it was the Uchiha genes. Sasuke and Karin spent a lot of time locked in Sasuke's room talking about stuff while Naruto babysat Tobi. Naruto wanted to know what they talked about but Sasuke never told him.
"Sasuke proposed." Karin smiled as she and Sasuke came out of Sasuke's room.
"Congrats." Naruto forced a smile.
"We're gonna try to get married in a few months." Sasuke said.
"Yeah?" Naruto asked as he shifted the sleeping Tobi in his arms.
"Yeah, we have to check for availability for the church and I need a dress and everything." Karin explained as she went into the kitchen. Sasuke went over to Naruto and Tobi and took his son from the blonde.
"You're gonna be my best man, right?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course." Naruto smiled somewhat sadly. Sasuke smiled and carried his son into the kitchen. Naruto wanted to punch himself in the face.
"Naruto, do you think you could come dress shopping with me? I mean you have the best taste out of all mine and Sasuke's friends." Karin smiled as she came out of the kitchen with a sandwich.
"Uh, sure, I guess." The blonde man nodded. "Um, I have to go to work, but maybe we can talk about this later." Naruto smiled and waved as he quickly left the house. He'd been leaving earlier and earlier for work since Karin and Tobi came home. He knew it was suspicious, but was thankful Sasuke and Karin hadn't said anything about it. He slowly walked to the club and went in the front door. Kiba and the waiters were cleaning up, preparing for that night.
"Naruto." The dog lover smiled when he saw his friend.
"Hey, you need any help?" Naruto asked as he looked around the room. Kiba shook his head.
"Nah, we're almost finished here. You just go sit down at the bar and I'll get you something to drink in a minute." Kiba smiled as he shooed Naruto towards the bar. Naruto smiled and sat down, amusing himself by spinning around as fast as the swivel chair would go. Kiba came up a few minutes later and stopped Naruto's spinning.
"Whoa, now I'm dizzy." Naruto smiled as the room continued spinning.
"What's wrong?" Kiba asked.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"When you're kinda depressed you get extra cheerful. Something happened." He said. Naruto's smile turned sad.
"Sasuke's engaged." He answered. Kiba winced slightly and dug through the good alcohol hidden under the bar. He pulled an unmarked bottle of clear liquid out and poured a couple of shots into a glass before handing it to Naruto.
"You'll need this." He said. Naruto smiled and took the glass. He downed the contents in one gulp, coughing slightly as the alcohol burned his throat down to his stomach.
"Thanks." Naruto smiled as the alcohol warmed his body. Kiba poured a few more shots into Naruto's glass and Naruto drank it. "Sasuke wants me to be his best man and Karin wants me to pick out her dress." He sighed as he set his glass back on the bar top.
"You gonna do it?" Kiba asked as he pulled out another bottle of brown liquid and poured some into Naruto's glass with a few ice cubes.
"Of course I am. I'm his best friend, I can't let him down." Naruto sighed as he sipped on the alcohol in his glass.
"You're a dumbass is what you are." Kiba sighed. Naruto smiled.
"I was a dumbass long before I fell in love with Sasuke." He pointed out with a laugh. The brunette laughed softly.
"Well, if you ever want to get away from that, you can always move in with me and Shika." Kiba smiled. Naruto nodded and finished his drink.
The baby is Sasuke's. sorry to the millions of people who wanted it to be someone else's. okay, maybe it isn't millions but there were still a lot of reviews hoping that the baby wasn't Sasuke's...
