Chapter 12-Wrapping Things Up
Song to Thank for this chapter (tell me how you like it) : Tuxedo- Do It
Disclaimer- Naruto isn't mine it's Masashi Kishimoto's. But if it was mine, Naruto would be pounding Sasuke's ass into completion, almost every episode. If they don't have time for a full on sex scene then a blowjob will be fine too.
The old man tensed for a few seconds, before releasing a quiet groan. He walked behind the Jewelry counter and retrieved a sheet of paper, from the cash register. "You're the fifth one this month...the fiftieth one this year," he said looking up from the paper in his hands. "And his name's not failure, it's Kai."
"Then why does he go by failure?" Naruto asked moving towards the old man.
"It's a long story," the old man sighed.
"I have time." Naruto said with a smile on his face, hoping that the man would share his problems.
"I wanted him, to continue the family business of selling jewelry because he was, excuse me, is my only son. When I told him what I wanted or him, he told me that he didn't want to sell jewelry because it was too easy for him. I spent all my life working so hard to start this business, and I worked even harder to make it the best. For him to just brush it off because it was 'too easy'...I was so angry that I called him a failure and a disappointment." the old man took a moment to gather himself before he continued.
"He told me, that he'd prove that selling jewelry was too easy for him. He said he would bring in one-hundred customers, without him ever setting foot in the store until he completed his promise. I thought he was crazy and could never do it, but in the same week a customer walked through the door telling me that 'Failure' sent them. I should have never doubted him...he's not the failure, I am."
"No you haven't." Naruto said, "There's no way you've failed if your son can bring in fifty customers, and never actually be in the store. But you need to go talk to him, so that he can stop thinking that he has to prove himself to you, and so that he can stop sending people here that say that 'Failure sent me' instead of 'Your son sent me'.
"That's a problem. I don't know where he works, his phone number or even where he lives! He hasn't talked to me or reached out to me ever since we fought, I think he's waiting till he brings in all one-hundred customers like he promised."
"He works at Konoha's home suppliers, the old one, he was there today at two p.m., but I don't know when his shift starts and ends."
"Thank you! That's all I will need to find him." the old man said the smile finally back on his face. "Now that you've helped to solve my problems, let me sole yours!" he said directing Naruto to the engagement rings.
"Does your partner prefer gold or silver? What type of stone are you looking for? Traditional diamond or something more unique?"
"Sasuke would prefer and looks better in silver, than he does in gold. He's very sophisticated and classy but I think a unique ring would be best. His family is very traditional so nothing, too different. And he won't appreciate gigantic diamonds." Naruto said.
"What's your budget?"
"I will go up to one-thousand to find the ring, and if I need to, I will do more."
The man's eyes widened, "That quite the budget, especially for just an engagement ring."
"Oh...I didn't know how high to go because I've never shopped for rings before."
"Trust me, you'll find what you want in your price range easily. I'm going to the back room to look for a catalog from one of our other stores, to see if anything interests you there. Call me if you find anything." he said before leaving.
Naruto looked at the rings in front of him and thought that they were too gaudy.
'Take things slowly.' Kyuubi said sensing that Naruto was overwhelmed by the selection in front of him.'Let's try picturing the ring in our mind.'
'A silver band...' Naruto thought while closing his eyes.
'What color stone do you want? I think a Garnet would look good with a silver ring and Sasuke's complexion.'
'What color is Garnet?'
'It's a type of red, but in the right light it looks like a rich blend of red and black or red and brown. Natural Garnet looks more brown than red.'
'So a silver ring and lets have the garnet gem in the center, and then traditional diamonds going across the band.'
'Big diamonds or small ones?'
'Small ones, but the garnet should be bigger than the rest, but not too big.'
'Now that you know what your want, open your eyes and look for it.'
Naruto opened his eyes and quickly walked through the isles of rings in search for red. He stopped in front of a case holding garnet gems, and focused on the silver rings. "Excuse me, Mr..."
"My name is Kin, you are a friend of mine now so just call me Kin." the old man said walking back from the back room with catalogs in his hand. "I trust that you found something."
"Not exactly, I have an idea of what I would like but it's not here."
"Would you like to draw it for me, and see if it's something we can make for you specifically?"
"Yes," Naruto said using the paper in front of him to do a rough sketch of the ring he wanted. "I would like the big stone to be garnet, one that looks like a mix of red and black or red and brown. The rest of the small diamonds will just be diamonds, and the ring's band should be silver." Naruto said sliding the paper over to Kin.
"I should have this ring made for you by next Friday at twelve. The actual ring design is not that pricey, and garnet is not an expensive stone, but having it customized for you will add more to the price tag. It certainly won't go over $1,500 dollars but it might exceed your original budget."
"That's fine." Naruto said smiling, "Do I pay now, or on the day of?"
"Pay on the day when you get the ring. That's how I do my business here."
"Alright, Goodnight Kin!" Naruto called as he exited the store and headed towards his house so he could get some sleep.
"Naruto," Mikoto called from the kitchen "Could you come in here and help me?"
He sent an apologetic smile to Sasuke who was currently sending him glares because he interrupted their snuggling by standing up. "What can I do for you?" he asked Mikoto as he walked into the kitchen.
"Kushina and I wanted to know if you had a day set out for the baby party." Mikoto said referring to the babies welcoming as a party instead of a shower, because Sasuke thought it was too feminine.
"I'm having someone paint our room and the babies on Thursday, I'm setting up everything for the baby on Friday, and the guys and I are moving the rest of the things in on Saturday. Let's do it on Sunday because everything should be ready by then."
"At what time?"
"At one PM, just so that we can set up for the party in the morning."
"What are your plans for today?"
"Finish shopping, we still have to buy things for the bathrooms-"
"So you told him about the house?" Mikoto asked excitedly.
"What house?" Sasuke asked walking into the kitchen. He looked at the both of them trying to ind out who would be easier to obtain information from. His mother had a poker face she had quickly put on when he came in, and Naruto, well Naruto looked like he had eaten something sour.
He took a step towards Naruto, folding his arms just above his stomach, which made his developing breasts more prominent. Sure enough Naruto glanced down, quickly, but Sasuke still noticed. "What house?" he asked again, lowering his voice while taking a few more steps closer to Naruto/
"Um..I...I" Naruto said looking at Mikoto for help.
"Darling you must have misheard me, I never said anything about a house," Mikoto said stepping in between Sasuke and Naruto, "I said blouse, there's this beautiful blouse I admired in the store, and it's very expensive so I had asked Naruto to talk to your father about it. He understands my point of view and he also understood Fugaku's point of view, I use him as a bridge between your father and I."
Sasuke side stepped his mother after she finished talking, he pressed himself as close as he could to Naruto and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Do you agree with what my mom just said?" He asked Naruto while nuzzling his neck.
"Yes," Naruto breathed out letting his hands slide lower than Sasuke's back.
"And you promise you're not lying to me?" he said sliding a hand under Naruto's shirt.
"I promise," Naruto said not even paying much attention to Sasuke's words and instead focusing on his body.
"You're lying to me!" Sasuke said stepping back.
"I'm not lying...I'm just not telling the truth." Naruto said following Sasuke.
"Well until you stop 'not telling the truth' you get no sex!" Sasuke said turning around and walking out of the kitchen. A smile of satisfaction on his face when he heard Naruto cry out in anguish, followed by the gentle cooing voice of his mother. 'They'll break in no time!'
"Naruto get your hands off of me!" Sasuke said sighing in aggravation as Naruto's hands once again tried to touch him.
"I'm just helping you walk!" Naruto whined as his hands were pushed away yet again.
"I can walk just fine...but I'll be happy to let me touch me all you want if you tell me the truth." Sasuke suggested hopefully.
"I can't." Naruto said looking away.
"Why not?" Sasuke now whined, while stopping in the middle of the store aisle.
"You'll find out on Sunday. But let's enjoy today I won't be able to see you much until Sunday." Naruto said giving Sasuke a tight smile.
Sasuke noticed the smile and decided to let the matter drop. After he asked one last question. "Why won't I see you until Sunday?"
"I just have a few things to do this week." Naruto said giving Sasuke a kiss on his forehead.
"Will you be there for the baby's check up, Tsunade said that we should be able to see the babies by now." Sasuke said looking up hopefully.
"What time is the appointment?"
"It's at twelve."
'Crap! That's when I have to pick up his ring!'
"I'm sorry Sasuke, I'll be working then."
"Oh," Sasuke said a flash of sadness appeared in his eyes before it quickly disappeared. "We can do it another time then." Sasuke said his voice cracking in the middle of his sentence.
"Oh Sasuke!" Naruto said pulling Sasuke into a hug, "Are you really so sad?"
"No! I-It's just these stupid hormones, and I had hoped that we could see the baby because you've been missing the appointments. But I don't understand why I'm crying?" Sasuke said getting angry at himself as more tears came out.
"You're also just tired, after all we have been shopping all day. But we only have one more set of curtains to pick out and then that's it!" Naruto said moving Sasuke so that they could look at more curtains.
"Thank you for...understanding me." Sasuke said leaning up to kiss Naruto.
Naruto leaned his head down to accept the kiss, "It's no problem, since I love you."
The rest of the day passed quickly and Naruto stayed the night with Sasuke, though he had to leave early since he knew the paint company was supposed to be at their house by ten.
The paint job was done skillfully and the colors were beautiful, and matched the decorations of the house perfectly. The paint dried so quickly that Naruto called some of his friends to help him move furniture into the house. Kiba, Shino, Neji, Sakura, Ino and Choji were able to come and help. Choji made a lunch for everyone while Ino and Sakura told the boys where to move the furniture.
"Should we come over tomorrow to work on the house more?" Kiba asked, eating his barbecue chicken sandwich while stealing fries from Shino's plate.
"I'll be working on the baby's room, but you guys can come around three and help me if you want to."
"And, the baby's party is Sunday?"
"Yeah, we should all be here by nine to get everything ready since I'll bring Sasuke over at one. Choji can you cook for it, I'll pay you for it?" Naruto asked looking at his friend who was giving Shino more fries because Kiba ate them all.
"Yeah, I'll cook, should I make a cake as well?"
"No, Sasuke and my mom already told me they'll make the cake."
"Have you showed Sasuke the house yet?" Sakura asked dabbing her mouth with a napkin, because the barbecue was messy.
"No, I wanted it to be a surprise, he'll see it the first time at the shower. But he started asking questions about it when he heard Mikoto and I talking about the shower. I couldn't tell him about it because I wanted it to be a surprise, but I feel like I'm leaving him too much, to get this house done by Sunday."
"You can spend some time with him tomorrow at the baby appointment." Sakura offered.
"I can't...tomorrow I'm picking up the engagement ring-"
"What!" everyone shouted together.
"I wanted us to at least be engaged before the babies born. Sasuke's family is very traditional and I don't want the baby to be born when we're still 'dating'."
"Is there a chance you could be married even if it's just a simple wedding with a few friends a cake and Tsunade overseeing the ceremony?" Shino asked holding his plate to his body in an attempt to protect his fries.
"I'm not sure whether Sasuke's family will accept such a simple wedding-"
"You can do a big wedding after the babies born but by the time the baby's born, you'll be legally married."
"And don't just think about what Sasuke's family wants," Neji added "think about what you two want. If you allow yourself to focus on everyone else you won't be happy."
Everyone had to leave at seven, and even Naruto himself was too tired to continue working. They had finally finished the living room and he had asked them all about the gigantic bed that was to be delivered on Saturday and they all agreed to come back and help set it up.
Naruto ran home to get a quick shower before he stopped at a flower booth just about to close to pick up a few roses for Sasuke. He walked to Sasuke's house and knocked on the door.
"Naruto! Sasuke will be so happy you're here," Mikoto said when she opened the door, "he's been whining all day long about not being able to see you." she said pushing him inside.
"Yeah that's why I bought him these." Naruto said showing the roses that he hid behind his back, just in case Sasuke was the one to open the door.
"They're beautiful!" Mikoto said looking at the multi-colored roses in Naruto's hand. "Maybe, they'll even get him to go back on his promise of no sex until you tell him the truth." she said nudging him playfully.
Naruto blushed at Mikoto's words, but removed a rose from the bunch he had selected and gave it to Mikoto. "For you, my lady." he said bowing low and giving her the rose.
Mikoto felt herself blush as she accepted the rose. "You're the perfect choice for my son." she said softly "I know you'll care for him and love him more than anyone else can...Now go upstairs and give him his present, before I decide that I want more than just one rose!" she said jokingly in an attempt to get Naruto out of the room so that he wouldn't see her cry.
Before leaving Naruto placed a kiss on Mikoto's head and pretended that he didn't feel the tears soaking into his shirt as he hugged her. He pulled away and walked up the stairs to Sasuke's room.
"Who is it?" Sasuke's voice said softly from behind the door. The owner of said voice, was lying on his bed, cuddling the pillow Naruto had used to sleep with next to his body.
"It's me." Naruto said smiling when the door was thrown open seconds after the words left his mouth.
A gasp escaped Sasuke's mouth as he took in Naruto. The roses. Naruto holding the roses. Naruto standing at his door with the roses in his hands. "B-But you said you would be to busy." Sasuke said still unable to grasp the situation in front of him.
"I try to make time in my day for important things and people." Naruto said pulling the surprised Uchiha into his arms, tilting Sasuke's head up for a kiss.
"I missed you." Sasuke said after he broke the kiss, so that he could take the roses from Naruto. He walked into his room and placed them on his dresser, before turning his head back to look at Naruto still standing at his doorway.
"Well, aren't you going to come in?" he asked trying to sound as innocent as possible while taking of his clothes. "And make sure you close the door."
Naruto's eyes opened slowly memories from last night invading his mind. He was currently spooning Sasuke, but he was still able to see the gigantic hickey he left on Sasuke's neck.
'Sasuke's gonna kill me when he sees the hickey!' Naruto thought to himself, more fear entering his body when he felt Sasuke's body stir.
"Good morning." Sasuke's sleepy voice said, turning his body to face Naruto's.
"Good morning," Naruto said successfully keeping the fear from his voice. "thanks for yesterday." he added.
'Maybe, if I just don't look at it, he won't notice!'
"You earned it," Sasuke said looking at Naruto "for being so sweet."
"It still doesn't make up for the fact that I won't be there for the baby appointment. Sometimes I think that I'm missing too much of your life while your pregnant."
"Dobe! You would still think you're missing too much of my life while I'm pregnant if you had only missed a day. Stop worrying, I know you have things to do I'm not angry."
"But you get lonely. Don't you? I get lonely without you." Naruto admitted.
"Of course we get lonely, I would get worried if one day you were gone and I didn't miss you. It's natural, especially with the mating bond and everything."
"Thanks Sasuke, you always put my mind at ease. But what time is it?"
"It's 10:15 right now." Sasuke said snuggling his body closer to Naruto.
Naruto jumped out of bed quickly realizing that Sasuke didn't have much time before his appointment.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked angry that his source of heat was gone.
"Your appointment is at eleven and it's already ten. You still have to take a shower and eat." Naruto said moving to the bathroom to get the towels ready for their shower. He turned back around and picked Sasuke of the bed, who hadn't moved an inch after what he said.
The shower took longer than they had expected because of how gentle Naruto was when he washed Sasuke.
"Crap! We have to hurry." he said running to Sasuke's closet to pick out clothes for him to wear.
"So I'll be thirty minutes late it's no big deal." Sasuke said putting on the clothes Naruto gave him to wear.
"But I promised Kin that I'd be at his shop by twelve to pick up the-" Naruto stopped immediately when he realized that he was talking to Sasuke. The same Sasuke who was not supposed to know about the engagement ring, for him.
"To pick up the what?" Sasuke asked when Naruto stopped "Why aren't you talking? Why won't you tell me anything? I feel like everyone else knows what you're doing, except for me!"
Sasuke pulled himself away when Naruto didn't answer. He opened the door angry tears threatening to spill from his eyes as he walked downstairs.
"Wait! Sasuke!" Naruto called coming down the stairs.
"Don't talk to me unless you tell me the truth!" Sasuke shouted refusing to look back at Naruto.
"Sunday!" Naruto shouted at before he was finally able to pull Sasuke to him. "Stop fighting me and just listen!"
"Listen to what? Since you won't tell me anything."
"I'll tell you everything on Sunday, I promise on everything I hold near and dear to my heart."
"So you're promising on ramen?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruto like he was crazy.
"No silly...I promise on you, our relationship, and this baby." Naruto said dropping his hands to rub Sasuke's stomach.
"And you'll do it this Sunday?" Sasuke asked.
"This Sunday!" Naruto said confidently "I'll tell you everything this Sunday!"
"Ok...I'm sorry for overreacting...Will you still walk with me to Tsunade's?"
"After you eat breakfast-"
"And after you put on some clothes." Itachi drawled as he walked down the stairs. He picked up the towel that had fallen off of Naruto and gave it to him before continuing his walk to the kitchen, as if the sight of a naked man didn't surprise him. "And little brother," Itachi said turning around "nice hickey."
Sasuke sat on the small blue hospital bed, waiting for Tsunade to finish talking with Naruto so that the appointment could start. He was now wearing a turtleneck.
'What is taking them so long?' Sasuke thought as he looked through the small window on the door. He moved of the bed and opened the door just in time to hear Tsunade saying "Of course I won't tell him." Sasuke quickly moved back to the bed.
'So Tsunade and my mom both know Naruto's secret...But they might not be the only ones that know it...Maybe our dads, Itachi, Kisame and even our friends know it. Maybe I can trick someone into telling me the truth...But Naruto promised me he'd tell me on Sunday, I should wait it's only two days-"
"Sasuke," Tsunade had called as she entered the room "You need to take off your shirt for the ultrasound she said holding up a jar of fluid."
"I-I don't want to have it today." Sasuke said looking up at Tsunade.
"But you were looking forward to it, and have been asking about it for a long time."
"I don't want to do it if Naruto's not here. I want both of us to be here to see the babies, but he had somewhere to go today. Just like every other day." Sasuke muttered the last part to himself but Tsunade still heard him.
"Naruto had some important business to attend to today." Tsunade said putting the jelly down and pulling a chair to the bed realizing that what Sasuke really needed was someone to talk too.
"But he won't even tell me what he's doing, who he'll be with, how long he'll be gone or where he is. He tells everyone else but me and when I ask he still won't tell me!
"He'll tell you eventually-"
"Yes he said he'll tell me everything on Sunday because it's a 'surprise'." Sasuke huffed out, rubbing his stomach to calm himself down.
"Has the baby been ok?" Tsunade asked changing the subject before Sasuke got more upset.
Sasuke easily realized what Tsunade did and decided to follow along, "Yes, the kicking can be a bit too much but they stop when Naruto' around. I-I never told him that the baby's been kicking!" Sasuke gasped out. "It slipped my mind with everything that's been happening, Tsunade he's never even felt the baby kick!" Sasuke shouted upset about everything.
"Sasuke! You have to calm down! You don't have much time before your due, only about a month and three weeks which will turn into two weeks when this Sunday passes. If you get too excited or active, the baby may come out early, and it coming out a month early will hurt both you, and Naruto because the baby will die!" Tsunade shouted back at Sasuke.
"I-I'm sorry." Sasuke said looking at the floor.
"I know it's hard and you're confused about a lot of things, but just make sure that your as calm as possible. I've spoken to Naruto and he will tell your families but you also have to do your part in controlling your emotions." she said gently, raising her hand to swipe a piece of hair on Sasuke's face.
"I know you won't tell me what Naruto's doing, but could you just answer one question that will help me get rid of all the worry I've felt."
"It depends on the question." Tsunade said sitting down again.
"I just wanted to know if he's seeing someone else behind my back. I KNOW it's illogical for me to think that, since I know that he loves me but I can't help it. It's gotten worse when he told me that he won't be able to come to the baby appointment, because to me what's more special and important than getting to see your baby for the first time. What makes him say he can't when to me it means everything?" Sasuke asked looking into Tsunade's eyes.
"Naruto...Naruto has a lot of things he's thinking about including the baby. But I can assure you that he isn't cheating on you. If Naruto so much as wanted a kiss from someone he looked at romantically your mating bond would cause pain between you two. Have you felt a pain in your bond?" Tsunade asked.
"No! It just feels nice." Sasuke said closing his eyes and enjoying the feelings around him.
"See, you two are doing just fine...But if you feel like this again close your eyes find your bond and let the peace and love envelop you."
"How do you know so much about mating?"
"Gaara told me everything I needed to know before he left. Another person to ask questions about mating to is Neji."
"Why Neji?" Sasuke asked opening his eyes.
"He's Gaara's mate, and he's the submissive partner so he can connect with you more than I can."
"Tsunade..thank you. Can I come over another time even if it's not for a baby checkup?" Sasuke asked standing with Tsunade.
"Yes of course, but we'll see each other on Sunday."
Sasuke looked at her twinkling eyes and sighed, he really would just have to wait for Sunday before any of his answers were answered.
Naruto smiled happily as he walked away from the jewelry store, his pocket containing the beautiful ring. It had taken about thirty minutes for him to get the ring and the price was actually at his original budget, though he suspected that Kin had reduced the price just for him.
Kin had told him that he planned on meeting his son today, and he would surprise him at his house with dinner. Kin had taken Naruto's advice and added more to it. He had gone to the store and found out that Kin lived in an apartment very close to his house. He also managed to get a copy of the key, so that he could be at Kai's house with a full spread of food from Kai's favorite restaurant. He planned to talk and fix things with his son while eating dinner.
Naruto prayed that Kin's feelings of love would be returned by his son, and he promised himself to never call his child a failure.
He stopped by Ichiraku's to pay for an order of fish cakes to be sent to Sasuke's house. He knew Mikoto had been struggling to make fish cakes every day for Sasuke to eat and he hoped the large order of one hundred fish cakes would last a week.
From there he walked to the house opened the door and made his way to the babies room. There were things everywhere, he needed to build the crib, put all the blankets and pillows on it. Fix the toys, hang up the curtains, fold the already washed clothes, fix the furniture and hang up the baby decorations he had bought.
He had around two hours before his friends came over to help. Two hours to make things perfect. He could do it.
Naruto groaned as he stood up and walked to the door. He had spent the night on one of the couches in the living room, since his bed was due to come in today. He opened the door and his eyes widened in recognition. "Kai!" Naruto said smiling at the young man in front of him.
"Your bed." he said turning to the side so that Naruto could see the delivery.
Naruto looked at the bed and then looked at the front door, "We might need to bring it in using the back door." he said "But you can just bring in the bed covers right now, I have to wash them."
Naruto slipped on some shoes and stepped outside, motioning to the delivery men who were carrying the mattress and the bed frame, to follow him. "How's your dad?" Naruto asked looking at Kai.
Kai froze for just a moment and then continued walking, "You're the reason he found me." Kai said his eyes wide.
"Is there something wrong?" Naruto asked walking up the five back steps before opening the wide french doors.
"No...but how did you get him to accept me?" Kin said helping Naruto pick up items on the floor that the men could slip and trip on.
"He had already accepted you by the time you sent me there, he just didn't know how to contact you." Naruto said moving in between the delivery men to help move the bed.
"Thank you." Kai said quietly. "I really missed him." Kai said moving ahead to open the door that was obviously the master bedroom.
Naruto just gave him a smile and helped carry the bed frame inside. The men moved quickly to set it up and secure it properly. Then they went back outside to tell the men with the mattress to bring it up.
Naruto moved downstairs to pick up the bed covers and bring them up to the washing machine upstairs. He put the first load inside and started the wash. Then he walked back to the room and smiled at how good the bed looked in the room.
"Thanks guys!" Naruto said high-fiving everyone that helped him.
"We're just happy that stupid bed was finally sold!" one of them said, causing everyone else to laugh.
They all started cleaning things up, and soon everyone was gone, leaving Naruto to take a shower and change into the clothes he had brought from his house. His mom was going to stop by today to deliver the rest of his things and at some point Mikoto would do the same thing for Sasuke.
He walked into the kitchen ate some breakfast, before he heard the doorbell ring. 'Must be the guys.' Naruto said moving to open the door.
Sure enough, Neji, Shikamaru, Choji, Sakura, Lee, Ino, Sai, and Hinata walked in. Not wasting any time, everyone moved quickly to do their part in making Naruto house perfect, except for Shikamaru who insisted he was helping by just being there.
The boys managed to fix all the furniture in, and all the girls helped decorate the house for the babies party tomorrow.
"Since we decorated today," Sakura said while hanging up blue streamers "should we still come here early tomorrow?"
"No you can be here by twelve. Choji you might want to be here earlier to get the food ready." Naruto said turning towards the boy in the kitchen who was yet again making lunch for them all.
"Naruto?" Neji called out.
"Yeah?" Naruto said moving into the dining room where Neji and Hinata were removing the plastic on the dining room chairs.
"Gaara told me to tell you he would be here for the party." Neji said knowing the news would cheer Naruto up.
"Great!" Naruto said smiling at Neji, he moved closer so that only he would here the next words he said. "When's the baby due?" Naruto asked calmly.
"Tsunade said my pregnancy would last longer than Sasuke's, about seven to eight months long. But we should be able to tell the due date as time passes."
'It's August now...so the baby must be due around-'
"Either February or March, then." Naruto said giving Neji a smile. "Have you told anyone yet?"
"No, I'm telling Gaara when he comes tomorrow. You and Tsunade are the only ones to know."
"Just be careful when working today. I don't want to explain to Gaara how you and the baby that he doesn't know about, got hurt while helping me." Naruto said standing up with Neji to take the plastic to the garbage bag.
Neji rolled his eyes, but took Naruto's advice to heart.
They finished everything at around six, and Naruto took another quick shower before leaving his house. He stopped by a store and picked out a hoodie for Sasuke before continuing his walk to the Uchiha household.
'Tomorrow's going to be perfect.'
