Chapter 18 Scares from Hell
Naruto stared at the only female member of the Akatsuki with wide sapphire eyes. "You have to be kidding me. You have to be joking, aren't you?"
Konan shook her head grimly, wishing he would take the news like any pregnant woman would. She expected shock from the teen but this was someone else she was dealing with. He wasn't a woman, he was a man that was pregnant by some strange cause.
"I'm not Jun. Each time you use whatever you used, and you get pregnant from it, your risk of death rises with each time." She explained, biting her pierced lip afterwards.
Naruto bit his lip, kinda wanting to be born a woman instead of a man like he was. A true woman that wouldn't have a penis.
"So all I'm trying to say is don't use whatever you did again. I care for you and I don't want to lose you. You are someone I cherish now." Konan concluded as she touched his hand in a gingerly manner.
He slowly nodded, trying to take in the news. "So this – she or he – will be our only child?"
She nodded, her eyes glittering with tears. One fell with her black mascara and eyeliner mixed in with it.
"I'm happy for you, I'm truly am. I'm kinda jealous too. I wanted to give Pain children so he would feel normal but all that happened – all our attempts – ended with failure." Konan said as more tears fell with the memories that faded into her subconscious.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, curious as to why she was crying.
"I became pregnant from our intimacy twice. The first time it happened, it was by accident and I got an abortion, thinking he wouldn't want it. Then I found out, he wanted kids. The second time, I miscarried when I was three months in. We got depressed, thinking we couldn't have a kid that had both our blood. He took it out on everyone. I just felt like I was void of any emotion but sorrow. But . . . " She trailed off, taking a shaky breath as she tried to calm herself.
Naruto sat there, waiting for the rest, wanting to hear the rest.
"But when I found out that you became pregnant I was so. . . . " She trailed off again, this time grabbing a tissue and touching the corner of her eyes.
"You were what?" Naruto asked.
"I was so hopeful. You renewed my passion for giving him a child that I lost so long ago. Thank you Jun-kun." She finished as she smiled, leaning over until she hugged the blond.
"You're welcome Konan-chan." Naruto replied as he returned the hug to the only woman that struggled so much in her life. He felt like he could do it, even if he couldn't feed the child like a woman could.
That's what formula's for, he thought as he smiled.
But he was sure, they could adopt to make their son or daughter happy when they ask for a sibling.
