Chapter 25: The Pregnancy

They arrived at the apartment and Naruto laid Ino down on their bed and opened their closet and pulled out a bag and came over smiling as he handed it too Ino, "Here you go babe, here is your gift."

Ino opened the bag excitedly and looked at the different TV series that he had bought her, "All of the Supernatural seasons, Spartacus seasons 1-3, Strike Back seasons 1 and 2, The Walking Dead seasons 1 and 2 and Camelot season 1! Naruto we have so much to watch!"

Naruto smiled at her as he took the first season of The Walking Dead from her and put in the first disc then came back to lay down with her. She instantly started to cuddle into his chest as they watch TV and Narutos clones worked on the house. When the clones finished during the night they all dispersed into smoke and Naruto smiled as he absorbed all of their memories, "Our house is ready for us to move in tomorrow Ino-chan."

Ino smiled up at him as they continued to watch the first season of The Walking Dead and she eventually fell asleep on his chest. When he noticed that she had fallen asleep he turned it off and fell asleep as well as he held her close to him. They woke up the next morning and Ino started to pack up their clothes while Naruto had clones move all the larger things. Naruto kept smiling at her as they emptied their old apartment and his clones carried the end of it to their new home and put it all in its proper place as Naruto and Ino locked their apartment for the last time and then turned in their keys to the owner of the land. When they finished paperwork releasing the apartment they went to their new home and she had a huge smile as they approached it. Naruto couldn't help but smile at how happy she looked, he picked her up and carried her into their new home, "So dear, are you going to bring your special flowers from your secret garden to our shop?"

Ino looked at him and smiled, it was a good idea since her parent didn't have those flowers at their shop then nodded her head, "I guess I will have to show you where it is so that you can help me carry them here."

Naruto smiled as he looked at her, "And it only took a little over 3 years for me to convince you too let me see it Ino-chan."

Ino blushed a little at his comment, she smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and smiled at her, "It was something that was very personal is all Naruto-kun, I would have shown it too you eventually I swear."

Naruto kissed his wife on her neck and she kept on smiling at him and he smiled back, "I wanted too see it but I knew that it was something that was personal to you Ino-chan and I wouldn't have rushed you."

Ino smile got bigger as she leaned back into his chest some more and he held her closer to him as his smile got larger as well, "I think that we have done enough today though love, lets go lay you down."

Ino smiled as he picked her up again and she looked at him, "You are going to be carrying me a lot while I am pregnant aren't you Naruto-kun."

Her husband smiled and nodded at his wife and kissed her gently as he carried her up the stairs then he laid her down in their bed and she snuggled on the bed. Naruto put in the next disc of The Walking Dead for them to watch and then laid down with her as she cuddled into his chest like always.

The next day Naruto woke up and made breakfast for them and smiled as their new kitchen was a lot bigger to make the breakfast. He heard Ino wake up and start to throw up, he ran up stairs quickly and opened the door to the bedroom and then the bathroom. Naruto bent down to hold back her hair as he rubbed her back as she threw up and she looked at a concerned Naruto, "Its okay Naruto-kun, its just morning sickness, I will have to deal with this for 8 more months."

Naruto still had a concerned look as he rubbed her back as she threw up again and he looked at her, "I made you some pancakes for breakfast if you think you will be able to eat it love."

Ino nodded as she flushed the toilet and washed her hands and face and walked out of the bathroom to go down the stairs with Naruto to eat the breakfast he made for her, "Ino-chan if you can't eat it don't force yourself, I don't want you throwing up more because of me."

Ino smiled as she ate the food that Naruto made for her, "The baby isn't refusing to eat anything yet babe, so don't worry about it just yet okay?"

Naruto nodded as he ate his food but was keeping an eye on on her as they ate and when she finished he grabbed her plate for her. Naruto told her stay sitting there and went and washed the plates in the sink, he didn't want her doing anything that she didn't need to do. Naruto came back too see Ino smiling as she had her hand on her stomach and he leaned in the archway as he watched her with a content smile, Ino then looked at him, "Okay Naruto-kun, I think that it is time we go to my garden so we can transfer the plants and flowers to bring them here."

Naruto smiled and nodded grabbed about 12 pots so he could transfer them into the backyard to grow them closer to transfer them into the shop. Naruto followed after her and her garden was actually relatively close to the lake where they first told each other that they loved the other and Naruto saw the 10 different rare flowers and got to work. Ino went to help him but he told her no, she glared at him but eventually agreed to just supervise him and he carefully transferred the 10 different types of rare flowers for her and used shadow clones to take them home and the real Naruto picked Ino up and smiled as she rolled her eyes.

The two walked through the town and Naruto stopped at a booth of flower seeds and Ino picked out about 30 different flower seeds and then asked Naruto how many she should get. Naruto just smiled and took them and paid for them all and gave her the bag and she smiled and kissed him gently as they continued to their home. They got home and Naruto went to sit down but Ino went to the greenhouse in the back that was connected to the store and he followed her, "Babe, why don't you wait til tonight for that, its hot in here right now."

Ino looked at Naruto and then back at the flower seeds, "Okay but only if you help me tonight Naruto-kun, otherwise I don't think I will finish today." Naruto smiled and nodded as he came and put his hands on her sides and kissed her cheek, "You know all you have to do for my help is ask babe."

Ino smiled and they left the greenhouse for now and then as promised he came back with her later and helped her plant the seeds. Time passed and for the first 3 months of Inos pregnancy Naruto did all he could but was feeling pretty useless and it was starting to really bother him.

Ino woke up in the middle of the night throwing up and he helped her into the bathroom and held her hair back until she calmed down and then cleaned up the floor where she missed the wastebasket and got out the bag and took in downstairs and threw it away. Naruto came back inside and upstairs and Ino was sitting up in the bed, "Ino-chan are you okay, is something wrong? I will call Shizune right away!"

Ino smiled as she looked at Naruto and told him to stop and he looked at her with confusion in his eyes and she motioned for him to sit down, "Naruto-kun what has been wrong with you lately?"

Naruto didn't know a lot about pregnancy but he knew that having her worrying about him wasn't good for her or the baby as he sat on the bed looking the other way, "I just feel so useless...all I am able to do is rub your back when you get sick.."

Ino knew it was something like this that had been bothering her husband and pulled him down onto the bed and cuddled into him, "Idiot husband."

Naruto put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head and held her there, all he could do was this it seemed like. Ino looked up at him and made him looked at her, "Naruto-kun, you do a lot more then that for me, it may not seem like it since you have always done it for me but you do. You always make sure I don't push myself, you see what I want to eat so that the baby doesn't make me sick, you do things that I can do as well and your always there for me whether I need you or not. There are a lot of things that you do for me just because it is the way that you are so stop thinking like that because you actually do them normally and like right now, how you hold me makes me calm and relaxed because you make me feel safe."

Naruto looked at her and smiled a little, she always was able to make him feel better when he was feeling like he wasn't good enough or doing enough and he leaned down and kissed her gently, "Thank you Ino-chan, I don't know what I would do without you."

Ino smiled and nuzzled into his chest and she laid there comfortably, "That is obvious, you would never have been as happy as you are now because you wouldn't have me as your wife and you would be insanely jealous of whoever I was with."

Naruto laughed and kissed the top of her head again and smiled, "You are probably right about that Ino-chan, but you would be jealous as well babe, jealous that your man didn't have all I have to offer."

Ino smiled and kissed him on his chest and laid her head back down, "I guess that is a possibility but its not something we have to worry about since I am the only one who gets all that you have to offer."

Naruto smiled and nodded and kissed her forehead, "Of course my dear, you are the only one that ever gets to see all that I got to offer."

Ino smiled and nuzzled her head on his chest some more and then slowly fell asleep as she laid on her husbands chest. More time passed and Ino was now bed written at 8 and a half months by Shizune although to be honest Naruto had her bed written since about 6 months when she threw up a little blood. That had sent him into a panic and he called Shizune and had Ino lying down and refused to let her up, threatening to tie her down. Naruto came into the room when her movie that she was watching was about to end and smiled at her, "Hey love, do you need anything?"

She had told him to stop lying in bed with her all the time so he had done house chores and worked out a lot recently but came back every time her movies were about to end to change the disc and see if she needed anything. Naruto looked at the nice watch that Ino had bought him for his last birthday and saw that he was a little early and Ino said she had to go to the bathroom. Naruto nodded and walked over to her side of the bed and helped her out of the bed and helped her to the bathroom and let her go by herself, he had followed her in one time and she beat him half to death and he heard the doorbell, "Ino-chan, can you get back to the bed on your own, someone is at the door?"

Ino rolled her eyes in the bathroom, it was sweet how much he worried and cared but he was driving her crazy, "Naruto-kun I am pretty sure I can walk 15 feet and lie back down."

Naruto knew that he was driving her crazy and he was hoping he wasn't making her too angry with him but this was Shizunes orders after all, "Okay babe...I will be back after I see who it is to change your discs and I will bring you some cold water okay?"

Naruto walked out of the bedroom and he went to the front door to see Shizune, "Hello Naruto, I am here to check on Ino."

Naruto nodded and opened the door for her since she knew where the bedroom was and he got Ino some fresh ice water and went up the stairs quietly. Naruto got to the door and opened it and Ino was in bed and smiling as she had her hands on her stomach and Naruto looked at Shizune, "Whats up?"

Shizune looked at him and smiled, "About another week or so and the baby will be here, I think she is excited to get out of bed."

Naruto smiled as he put Inos new water down as he grabbed her old cup and looked at her, "Yeah I am driving her crazy so I am sure she needs a break from me but I won't give it to her."

Naruto leaned down and kissed her on her forehead and put in the next disc for her and looked at the back to see how long it would be and then walked to the door, "Enjoy your disc Ino-chan, when its done I will make you dinner. I will be back in around 2 hours."

Naruto took one last look at his watch and closed the door behind him as she looked at him and sighed, "Naruto-kun come back here."

Naruto opened the door and looked at her with a concerned look, "Do you need something Ino-chan, is something wrong?"

Ino smiled and told him to come watch her movie with her and he smiled and came and laid down with her and put his arm around her, "Not that I mind but why the change, I thought you didn't want me watching the movies with you anymore babe?"

Ino cuddled into him and watched her movie, "Its not that I didn't want you watching the movies but just because I am bed written doesn't mean you need to be."

Naruto got comfortable as she cuddled into him and he held her close to him and looked at her, "Well maybe I wanted to stay here with my wife, think about that?"

Ino rolled her eyes at this and she just continued to lay her head on him and he stroked her hair, "I just didn't want to be the reason you laid here all day as well, it drives me crazy so it would do the same to you."

Naruto rubbed Inos stomach and held her close to him, "I wouldn't mind going crazy as long as I got to spend time with you."

Ino sighed as she laid on his chest and smiled a little at his idiotic comment, "You are such an idiot Naruto-kun, but you are my idiot."

The week passed quickly and Ino went into labor and Naruto was a nervous wreck and she was a terror in delivery. She had somehow gotten a hold of kunai that she had been throwing at Naruto and he had been letting just hit him if it made her calm down a little. The delivery finally passed and Naruto and Ino now had a son and Ino started to come out of her rage and saw all the kunai in Naruto, "OH MY GOD! NARUTO-KUN WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?"

Naruto looked at her and the 10 kunai stuck in his body, plus 1 above his eye and smiled a bit, "Oh this, well you went into a rage and started throwing kunai at me, yelling at me for getting you pregnant. Where were you getting the kunai from anyways?"

Ino looked and saw a summoning marker on a piece of the bedding and smiled, "I guess that it was this, can we take them out now please? I don't like too see you all injured."

Naruto nodded and started to pull out the kunai and the holes started to heal up and he pulled the one out above his eye and it healed but left a scar, "Interesting."

Naruto felt the scar above his right eye and looked at Ino and smiled, "All better now sweetheart, after our son is done getting all his weighing and all that done they should be bringing him back."

Ino smiled and then reached up and touched the scar above his eye and looked at him, "I am sorry Naruto, I scarred your perfect body."

Naruto smiled and lifted up his shirt and didn't see any scars and looked at her, "I don't see any scars do you?"

Ino smiled and blushed as she looked at her husbands perfect body and reached out to touch it and Naruto got closer so she could and she rubbed her hand on his 6 pack, "So sexy Naruto-kun, we can have sex again now too."

Naruto smiled at her and leaned down and kissed her gently and put his hand on her cheek and winked at her, "I think we should wait til your out of the hospital baby, your too tired for that right now."

Ino blushed and she pulled him into another kiss and smiled at him, "Okay Naruto-kun but soon husband, very soon we will be getting physical again and a lot."

Naruto smiled and let out a small laugh as he kissed her forehead, "We will have a lot of our plate with a child now as well, are you going to use your birth control patches again now dear?"

Ino nodded at him and pulled him into her bed with him and laid her head on his shoulder, "I know you want a family Naruto-kun but I think that 1 is enough for now, you understand right?"

Naruto smiled and kissed her forehead again as he stroked her hair and then replied, "I told you a long time ago that I didn't care if it was just you and I forever Ino-chan, now that we have a child I am even happier. I could be happy with just us 3 for the rest of my life okay baby, so don't you start worrying about things like that."

Ino smiled and cuddled into him and fell asleep on his shoulder as he held her closely and Ina, Inoichi, Tsunade, Shizune, Kiba and their child came into the room.
