Naruto sat back in his living room chair, again feeling exposed to the cool, and calm gaze of the blushing pale eyed girl in front of her. He stared at her for a while in confusion - why did those lines appear on the side of her face, like… veins?
Sasuke watched from the doorway, leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded casually over his chest. The two of them hadn't expected Hinata to be waiting for them when they returned home. Nor had they even expected to return home at the said time - but the two grew bored, and an hour had run out. Sasuke's feet grew tired, and he wanted his bed back.
"It-It's difficult to s-say what g-gender your baby is N-Naruto-kun, but, s-soon I-I think, you will be a-able to tell, and I-I shall be back by then. I-I received a message from Tsunade-s-sama and she says the two of you are to be careful, a-and that you are to be o-on a temporary break fr-from missions a-and such."
"Can we still train?" Sasuke asked, pushing himself from the doorframe and standing by Naruto. Hinata's eyes turned to their normal ones, she nodded slightly.
"All in a-all Sasuke-kun, it d-depends on the amount of ch-chakra y-you wish to use. U-Unless you wish o-only to practise y-your fighting, a-and not to use chakra. A-As that is v-very dangerous for N-Naruto-kun.."
Naruto frowned slightly and rubbed his forehead, "How come?" He asked, biting his bottom lip and swiping his tongue across the dry lip. Hinata watched him and giggled. Then returned to her serious state. She cleared her throat.
"Because, your baby is slowly growing with the mixing of three d-different types of chakras. O-One is the fox inside of you, another is S-Sasuke-kun's, and the other is your own chakra. Therefore, y-your baby will be immensely weak as it has yet to grow used to the power increasing. With too much chakra you use, you are demolishing the energy for your b-baby, this is v-very unhealthy, and c-could harm your baby. Please, d-do not be too o-over the top." Hinata whispered the last part, glancing at the two of them and nodding.
Picking up her bag and jacket she walked over to the door, excusing herself with a gentle wave.
Sasuke glanced at Naruto for a little while and gave a small, reassuring smile. "No sparring for a while, my dear." He said sarcastically. Naruto grinned slightly.
"Sasuke-teme, Hinata says we can't. So we won't right?" He asked, standing up and walking into the kitchen. Sasuke followed.
"We won't yet. Until both you and the baby are ready. We'll try some sparring out. Just, gentle though. I promise not to hurt you," He smirked.
Naruto growled and reached for his instant ramen, "My ass could you hurt me, teme."
Sasuke chuckled softly. "Your ass, indeed." Naruto paled.
"Pervert," He muttered softly, grabbing a pair of chopsticks and setting them at the table before facing his spouse. "You want something to eat, 'Suke?"
Sasuke shook his head, brushing his fingers against Naruto's cheek. "I'm fine," He murmured, pressing his lips to Naruto's nose. "After you've eaten, we'll go back to bed and catch up on deprived sleep. Alright? I could tell you were tired. You were limping."
A flush arose to Naruto's cheeks, "Bastard. You know that wasn't the shopping," Sasuke chuckled softly, and pushed his blonde gently to the counter and gently kissing his vulnerable, tanned neck.
"Dobe," He whispered against the skin, smirking and pulling back. Patting Naruto's back gently he spun the blonde around and pecked his lips leaving the kitchen to retreat to his much loved Naruto-scented bed for some deprived sleep. Fabulous.
Whereas Naruto saw it to be fit to drown his cravings with some newly stocked ramen. Even more fabulous, until he realised his baby craved something more. Ramen tipped in ice-cream. Now that made Naruto nearly throw up in his mouth. But his body craved it, so he got it.
Reaching into the freezer under his fridge he grabbed a small tub of vanilla ice cream, staring at his beloved ramen he sighed. Pouring the cool, melting substance on his love he gulped and took his chopsticks - not quite sure how it would work, but it was worth a shot.
"Kids," He snorted, running his fingers through his hair and digging in to his food.

"Naruto, what the hell did you eat?" Sasuke cringed as he watched his dobe vomit his heart out - metaphorically speaking of course - into the toilet. He turned away but continued rubbing the small of Naruto's back in a reassuring motion.
"Ice cream and ramen," The blonde replied, opening his mouth over the bowl and pouring the disgusting leftovers out. Sasuke growled slightly.
"Together?" He asked, almost regretting his choice. Naruto nodded weakly over the toilet. He then turned to face Sasuke.
"Bath?" The Kyuubi container whispered. Sasuke sighed and ran his fingers through blonde locks before gently kissing the male's temple.
"Brush your teeth first, Usuratonkachi."
Naruto nodded grimly, clearing his dry and aching throat and moving lazily over to the sink, allowing his spouse to flush the chain of the toilet and rid of the evidence of Naruto's beautiful vomit. Sitting by the Jacuzzi like bath Sasuke poured in some bubble bath - one of Naruto's favourites - and turned on the taps. Turning the hot one on most but not before putting the plug in.
Naruto spat the toothpaste from his mouth and rinsed his mouth out before moving over to Sasuke and draping his arms around the Uchiha's already bare chest as he watched Sasuke turn the bath water off.
"Dobe. Undress,"
Naruto giggled softly into Sasuke's ear, pealing off his yukata and stepping into the half-filled tub along with his husband. Sasuke pulled his wife onto his lap and let the blonde's back rest against his chest.
The two of them sighed in relaxation.
"Teme," Naruto whispered, closing his eyes as he rested his head on Sasuke's collar bone, "Mm, thank you."
Sasuke snorted slightly, "I have no idea why you're thanking me dobe," He said, moving his lips toward Naruto's ear, "You're the one supplying me with a family. You are the one giving me eternal happiness. You, Uchiha-Uzumaki Naruto. Are my everything."
A gentle blush filled Naruto's cheeks as he turned his head a little to face Sasuke. Sasuke leant forward as Naruto held onto the back of his neck. "Thanks, Sasuke." He whispered, pressing his lips lovingly to Sasuke's.

"Disgusting. Filth. Sick. Demon. So many words to describe such a vulgar beast. I mean look at him, he's not even worth the time. He nearly killed everybody and now he bares the of the mighty, beautiful and just so down right- perfect Sasuke?" Sakura snarled into her mirror, applying more of the face powder. She slowly ran her fingers over her stomach and smiled.
"You, my child, you are conceived in love and happiness. You, my child. Are my everything."
Her response was a gentle kick beneath her fingertips.

"No! Sasuke I don't wannaaaaa-to!" Naruto whined, clinging onto his husband as the man tried to leave the bed.
"Usuratonkachi." Sasuke warned, turning his eyes to meet Naruto's. Naruto gulped slightly, but tightened his grip as he nuzzled into the back of Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke gave a small sigh before nestling back into his bed and allowing his hormonal spouse to snuggle into his chest.
"Teme. Please don't yet," Naruto whispered. "I want to come with you when you do - Please, not yet. Sleep first, okay?" Naruto's gentle whispers were soothing, yet years ago Sasuke would have been angry that the blonde had such exceeding power to make him calm. Yet now he took pride in it.
"Alright Naruto. We'll go later."
Sasuke had wanted to go and see Itachi's grave, and seeing as Naruto's father and mother were also buried there he too wanted to go and pay his respects to his family. Sasuke gave a gentle sigh, before closing his eyes and resting his head back against the pillow, slipping his arms around Naruto.
"Later," He whispered.

"Naruto," Sasuke whispered as he watched Naruto place some flowers by his father's tombstone. Naruto glanced up at Sasuke a gentle smile curled on his lips, he stood up straight and let himself be pulled into Sasuke's embrace, Sasuke's arms around his shoulders. "Can you remember your parents?" Sasuke whispered.
Naruto smiled softly, closing his eyes and leaning back against his husband. "Sometimes," He replied, bringing his hands up to rest over Sasuke's. "Then, sometimes I can't."
"I don't understand." Sasuke said softly. Naruto laughed childishly.
"And here I thought you were supposed to be the bright one, ne?" He chuckled softly, feeling Sasuke nuzzle into his hair. "When I was younger and alone my parents were the first people I'd think about, because I thought that maybe they were there, watching over me - scolding me if I did wrong, which I tended to do a lot. But sometimes, I felt like they were praising me for my mistakes, and just telling me to get up and try again, because that's what my father did right? When he was Hokage." Naruto smiled softly, feeling the breeze kiss his face. "Then, when team seven came into my life. I thought that maybe they were the people I needed. You, were the person I needed. It sometimes-- it's hard to remember them, because I was only a baby.. But my mother, I remember her hair most. It wasn't like mine, it was… red. My father, looked like me. I remember that. But. My mother, I don't remember her a lot, so.. I don't ever ask what she was like."
"Why?" Sasuke asked, his eyes lidding against Naruto's neck.
"Because I'm afraid that maybe people might have liked her so much more, and that they would realise it was-.. It was my fault she and Dad died." Naruto replied, holding Sasuke's hands and squeezing them as he let his eyes open on the tomb. "..I didn't mean to," He whispered sadly.
Sasuke smiled softly kissing the open skin of Naruto's neck and nuzzling his nose into it. "It wasn't your fault, Usuratonkachi. Sometimes, it happens.. Sometimes - it just wasn't meant to. But you know what they say right,"
Naruto glanced to Sasuke slightly from the corner of his eye, an eyebrow quirked upwards. "..What do they say?"
"God always takes the best."
Naruto smiled softly, allowing Sasuke to pull him into a deeper embrace and let his hands fall to his wife's stomach, Naruto's hands trailing after his and lying on top of them. "Your parents would be proud of you. Sasuke.."
"I know," He replied, kissing Naruto's temple. 'So would yours, Naruto.. You've grown, so much.'

"Naruto! Hinata said no! We can't."
"But Sasuke-teme, I-.. I want to.." His eyes watered with hurt tears. Sasuke's own eyes widened slightly at the hurt that showed in the beautiful blue orbs of his spouse.
"Naruto. Don't cry, please." Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto, allowing the blonde to fall against his slightly. He felt Naruto's mouth open as wetness seeped through his shirt.
"I'm tired, 'Suke," Naruto whispered against Sasuke's shirt - his voice muffled. Sasuke caught on, sweeping the blonde off of his feet and carrying him back to the Uchiha district bridal style.
"You see Naruto? You can't train when you're tired, tomorrow, okay? We need Hinata's confirmation that you're okay to do it without hurting yourself or the baby." Naruto groaned slightly against Sasuke's shoulder, licking the vulnerable skin there.
"Tired," He whispered against the skin. Sasuke nodded, kissing Naruto's hair.
"I know," He muttered gently, rocking the blonde as they walked. Suddenly, the two of them poofed their house. Surprising no one, as all they left behind was a pile of dusty smoke.
Setting Naruto down on their bed, Sasuke gently ran his fingers through his spouses hair, leaning down and kissing Naruto's nose. "Rest, okay? I'll make you some ramen when you make up." Not often did Sasuke even offer to buy Naruto ramen unless the blonde was feeling down or upset, then he would. But these months would be an exception. But so help him if their child was a ramen addict. Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto's face lit up.
"Can I have some now?" He asked, grinning.
Sasuke glared at him before softening and kissing Naruto's lips. "No," He whispered, pulling off Naruto's yukata and placing the covers over the blonde.
Naruto pulled Sasuke down from the back of his neck, smashing their lips together in a devious kiss. Naruto's tongue ran across Sasuke's bottom lip and the raven allowed him entry, also allowing him part domination of the kiss, before their lungs complained and they pulled away.
"Dobe." Sasuke muttered, shaking his head, resting his hand over Naruto's stomach and letting the other brush through his hair as he knelt beside the blonde on the floor, occasionally kissing Naruto's temple.
AN: I was watching 1 Litreof Tears when I posted this. It's such a sad drama. But, Haruto Asou anybody? ;) ANYWAY..Heheh.. I got my nose pierced today, it didn't actually hurt - but I was completely shitting myself - but yeah, it was just the shock. If you live in the UK - Bedfordshire - Go down to Bedford town, and go in Blackwolf! It's frickin' awesome in there. But I look like Iruka because I have a plaster across my nose to prevent the stud falling out. Plus my ankles are really hurting - I have problem with my feet. Grr. D8;
WELL. I updated A.S.A.P, a slightly pointful chapter I might add. The memorial bit will come in handy in later chapters - trust me. I know the names of Naruto's mother and father, but I thought maybe he didn't. So I didn't put it in. Except he obviously knows Minato is his father. So, meh. ANYWAY! ENJOY! IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS EVE! Have a great Christmas all of you! I hope you have a wonderful time.
And a Happy New Year!
