Warning: M-preg. (I know my idea isn't original but oh well)

A few weeks passed after my first night with Kakashi's when I started to see the signs. After first I believed that I was just sick, but Kakashi would have gotten it as well. But a helpful to Tsunade-sama, I remember my wonderful bloodline limit. Where males can carry children, hooray. So once she told me, I wasn't as surprised as she hoped I would be. Of course I was glad I would be to be having a child of my own.

After sitting in her office, discussing the way my blood limit worked, and how to go about this whole thing when the due date came. I knew that pregnancy for men within my family was a lot shorter, only about 6 months, so I was nervous knowing that five months was going to blow by.

And the finally thing was Kakashi. He was away on a mission, and should be back tonight. Since it has been about 3 months, I'm starting to look like a whale. I'm just glad he wasn't here for my mood swings, but all the other Jounins were, so that was nice. Yelling at my superiors, classic. But still, Kakashi, I have no idea how he will react.

So as I mull this all over in my head, with a bowl of ramen resting on my protruding tummy, I still can't help but worry. I'm kinda hoping Kakashi doesn't come straight here, giving me more time to think of how to break the news. I fidget with my chopsticks, beginning to worry, and thinking of all the worst outcomes of how he is going to react. I just keep seeing him turning right around and leaving, going only God knows where.

'Stop it, stop it stop!" I mutter to myself angrily, "You are just gonna stress yourself out and hurt the baby." Taking a few 'calming' breaths, I begin to relax again and poke at the, now lukewarm, noodles in front of me.

Hearing the front door open then close, almost sent my bowl flying. Quickly setting it down on the coffee table, I heave myself off the couch and race towards the front entrance, smiling brightly at a very tired looking Kakashi. His lone eye looks up at me, and he hooks his index finger over his mask to slip it down and to pool around his neck. He smiles tiredly at me, but he still looks pleased to be home.

I walk over to help him out of his vest and to slip off his hitai-ate off of his right eye. I run my fingers through his hair and he slips his arms around my waist, but stop abruptly.

"Ruka, been putting on weight?" He asked both mismatch eyes searching over me.

Ah, the dreaded question, and my unbelievable answer. I blushed slightly, but didn't answer opting to take his hand and lead him to sit on the couch.

Taking a deep breath I jump straight into explaining, "Well you see, my family is somewhat different. And our bloodline limit is where certain males were born to able help bare children. I know it sounds strange and crazy, but that's how it works. I know very little, and I'm still pretty shocked myself. So yes, I'm pregnant that's why I look a little… bigger, than usual. Oh Kashi, please don't be mad! I… I was so afraid to tell you not knowing how you would handle it. So I hope you aren't to mad." I finish, finally glancing at my silent lover, who is staring at the coffee table in deep thought.

Suddenly he stand up and turns to me, taking my hands hoisting me up and looked me square in the eye before a huge dazzling smile spread across his face.

"Well Ru! Looks like you'll be moving in with me, considering this apartment is too small, and plus I have been meaning to ask you about that." He pauses rubbing his chin, "Oh! And I'm nowhere near mad love, I'm excited! Come on! Let's go, start packing!" He turns away and jogs down the hallway and into my bedroom.

I could only blink, still processing all what he just said. My own smile spreads across my face as I follow after my one and only.
