Dream story


October 9: 4:30 am

The feeling of his strong, deliciously sensual hands on her skin was unbelievable. His soft, caressing fingers were everywhere in the darkness, brushing the curve of her waist, cupping her firm breast and tantalizing the erect nipple, rubbing small circles on her lower back before stroking her cheekbone so incredibly gently. Nothing had ever felt so blissful to her.

The need for him was mind-blowing, she'd never wanted something, someone so badly. Her senses were in overload and she bit her lip at the physical ache somewhere between her legs that, coincidently, was the place his fingertips were creeping towards with agonizing slowness. His lips roamed her entire body, placing painfully light kisses down her neck to the base of her spine. At the same time, his fingers caressed and aroused every centimeter of skin with his gentle fingers. The anticipation alone was more than she could stand, but he seemed to be unaware of that…

Right before he finally slipped in and began satisfy her after his wonderful torture, her unborn child decided it had had enough motionlessness and kicked her, and thus pulling her from blessed unconsciousness. She awoke to an ache between her legs and a bruised kidney. She sighed at both… ever since her due date began getting nearer, the kid had been restless. He always felt the need to alert her of his presence, as if she didn't already know he was there. Throbbing nipples filled with milk and hormone induced dreams of the blonde father of her son did not help. She honestly couldn't wait for the dang brat to hurry up and get here. Seriously. This was ridiculous!

Rubbing her stomach to try and get the little fishcake to be still, she sighed. There was no way she was going to get back to sleep tonight. The minute she finally found nothingness, the little fiend would start squirming again and wake her up again. She knew. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

With another sigh, she flipped open her bedside lamp and reached for the textbook she'd been reading before she'd conked out the first time. Her theory was that if she couldn't go to school, she might as well get ahead of the class. And she literally couldn't go to school. The one time she'd tried, they'd sent her home. According to the school headmaster, Sarutobi Hirazen, it was to near her due-date plus her baby had already dropped. But that didn't mean anything! She still had about a week until she was due, and the baby dropping didn't mean anything! That could occur a few weeks or a few hours before labor! Stupid old man…

After sighing a third time, she settled back to read about the French Revolution. She had to move several times though because of a pain in her lower back. After about a minute and a half, she found a position that seemed to made it go away. Or so she thought. Settling back once again to read, she didn't notice anything for another hour. Then the pain was back. She started shifting her position to try and get it to go away. Again, it stopped after a minute had passed.


He smiled at the small velvet box he held clasped in his hand. There was no way she could say no. Not to this jewel at least. He'd spent most of his last paycheck on it, making sure it was something she couldn't turn down. She wouldn't turn down. She didn't know that Namikaze brat was even there. She was somewhat in love with him. So why should she say no? Why shouldn't she say yes?


October 9: 5:23 pm

Akane's Coffeehouse

She rubbed her stomach with a sigh. These pains refused to go away. What had started out as short, infrequent dull aches in her lower back had began to get worse. They had also started off as far apart but had started to come at a more regular pace. The brief moments of pain were beginning to intensifies. The sensation was like a belt tightening around her back which was spreading toward her abdomen.

She didn't know what the pains were, but she was starting to think she'd eaten something bad…maybe to much ramen? She was also kinda worried. Maybe she was experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions. Her doctor, Tsume, and all the books she'd read told her that it was natural to experience them. But then again…she'd had those before. And this felt nothing like them…

"Red, you ok?"

Tsume had sat down beside her, juggling two muffins, a cup of coffee, and a sleeping Kiba in her arms. They were at their second meeting of the week for the FTC…and it was a god sent, minus the bizarre pains. She'd been so bored lately and missed her friends.

"Fine Dog-chan! Little monster's just being weird. I'm telling you, I am so ready for the little jerk to hurry up and get here! The hormones are driving me crazy, and he won't let me get any sleep! Everytime I do, he feels the need to remind me of his presents! Are they always this annoying toward the end?"

"Yep."

"Man! I don't think I can take another week of this!"

Another pain…didn't she just have one of those? Seriously, these things were getting to close together for comfort…and they were starting to gain strength! What the heck man?

"Hey, you don't have to tell me that! I've had to go through this twice, remember! Just be glad you haven't started lusting after random guys! When I was carrying Hana, I was so hormonal I stole a life-size cutout of an American Basketball player from a shoe-store. Still have it to!" (A/N: If this part sounds familiar, I did steal it from the TV show Friends… I just thought it was funny! Anyone know what the pains are yet?)

"Um…passing over your thievery of a cardboard guy…have you seen Taka today? He was suppose to meet me here…"

"Yeah, now that you mention it. He asked me to tell you that he's gonna be a little late, he' sorry, he had something really important to do."


She was so beautiful… but, why couldn't he talk to her? It wasn't like he hadn't talk to each other before, they used to be best friends for Christ sake! So why couldn't he go up and say hi now? Was it because she had a boyfriend? She was pregnant? He didn't know… only that he really wanted to talk to her…

"Dude, if you like her that much just go say hi! I'm tired off having to watch you fawn over her everytime they come in!" the sharp voice of his colleague Nana snapped. His head jerked up, and he gaped at her.

"W-whatever do you mean Nana-chan? I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Namikaze, cut the crap. I may not know you that well, but I can tell when someone is in love. Now get your lazy ass up, go say hi, and quit avoiding her. It's sickening to watch. Besides, if you do then I get five bucks."

"Ok… wait, what?"

"We have bets going on to see how long it takes you to ask her out. If you do it in October, I win. Now get your butt out there!"

"OK one, I do know that I already know her. And two, she has a boyfriend…not to mention she's pregnant if you haven't noticed…"

"So? Just go!"

"You really want that five bucks don't you?"

"Yep!"

"Thought so…"

The blonde sighed and the black haired girl looked at him expectantly. "Fine…I'll go. But you owe me a muffin."

"Done!"


March 9: 5:37 pm

"Shina-chan!" she heard, turning to see the smiling eyes of her Inuzuka boyfriend. "Hey Taka! Great timing! Tsume was about to tell me some embarrassing baby stories!"

He smile.

"Hon, can I talk to you for a second in private? It's important."

"Sure, what's up?"

He took her hand and led her to a private corner a little ways away from the group.

"Kushina, we've been dating since July, and these last three months have honestly been the best time of my life. I… I don't want it to end anytime soon. I know you're pregnant right now with someone else's kid. Someone who obviously didn't want the kid or know how amazing you are."

He paused a moment and smiled at her. She smiled back uneasily. They starred at each other for a few minutes, and he started talking again. She wasn't listening this time though, although she did nod occasionally. Instead she was focused on the weird pain again. It had come over her again, and this time in was like a wave of pain had descended over her. She tried hard not to let it show on her face. Something was wrong… and then she felt it.

At this moment, three things happened simultaneously.

For one, Taka dropped on one knee and pulled out a small black box. Flipping it open, he asked, "Uzumaki Kushina, will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

The second was that she noticed the man for the first time… the man she'd dreamed of for so long…with his spiky blond hair and jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face, his sky blue-eyes fixed on her… He stood on the other side of Taka's kneeling form, his expression never moving from her face. It was an expression of longing…of love.

And the third…the third was by far the biggest. The sudden wetness between her legs, like a sudden gush of fluid. At least that explained the weird pains… Who knew today was going to be so full of surprises?

"Minato…"

Everyone was looking at her…

"Um, can someone call my dad…I think my water just broke…"
