There was only pain now. His whole body hurt. His throat was raw and dry from screaming so much. His heartbeat was slow and his breathing was shallow. The babies were trying to come out of his body, but there was no way of it happening without Naruto being cut open.
He had been lying in bed in pain for about five hours now. He couldn't even scream anymore because his voice was almost gone. The pain was so intense, and Naruto honestly didn't think he would make it. The babies were all he cared about now. As long as they survived, he'd be happy.
"Come on Naruto, you can do this." Sasuke pressed, but he had doubts. Naruto looked so weak, and perhaps there really was no way for him to give birth, aside from a caesarian. The Uchiha pressed a warm rag to Naruto's forehead, wiping off the sweat. It seemed useless now, because sweat kept collected on his forehead, and the rag wasn't soaking it all up.
"Pl…please Sasuke, bring Sakura-chan here…I can't take it anymore. The babies…I don't want them to die. You have to bring Sakura-chan or Tsunade-baachan, they're the only ones who can help, please don't let my babies die." Naruto whimpered in pain. He didn't care what happened to himself, he just wanted the babies to survive.
"Naruto, I-" Sasuke began. Even if taking Naruto to Tsunade right now would completely ruin their already shattered relationship, then so be it. Sasuke loved Naruto, and he wanted the blond to be with him…but that would never happen if he died.
"Uchiha, where the hell is Naruto? He wasn't home, and it seems as though our house hasn't been touched in days! I knowthis is your doing, where is he!" A voice yelled out at the door. Both Sasuke and Naruto knew that voice well. A few seconds later, someone burst into the door in a rage.
As soon as Sai's eyes fell upon Naruto, he completely forgot about Sasuke, and rushed over to Naruto's side.
"Naruto!" Sai yelled out, and took his hand. He was barely able to feel the blonds pulse, and he was shocked at how cold Naruto's hand was.
Before Sai left he turned to the Uchiha and glared; "I'll be back to deal with you at a later time."
Sasuke didn't even stop Sai as he gently picked Naruto up into his arms and left the room. He didn't stop Sai as the man brought Naruto to Tsunade. Naruto really was better off with Sai. Naruto loved Sai, and not Sasuke. It crushed Sasuke, because he realized that he ruined his relationship with Naruto. He could have at least stayed his best friend. However, he fucked it up because he doubted the love that Sai and Naruto shared.
XOXOXO
"Naruto, they're both so beautiful." Sai said as he held his child in his arms. He had brought Naruto to Tsunade just in time, and she performed the surgery right away.
Shuya, the boy, had blue eyes and black hair, and six whisker-like marks, three on each cheek. Seiko, the girl, had blue eyes, and black hair. She also had whisker-like marks, but instead of three, she had two on each cheek.
"Yeah, they are aren't they?" Naruto said. He was exhausted, but he was happy, extremely happy. His son and daughter were both beautiful, and very healthy. He was so grateful that Sai had made it on time. Any later and there would have been no babies, and no Naruto.
"Tsunade said the blood test will be done in a few weeks." Naruto stated.
"Naruto-kun, you know we didn't have to-" Sai began, but Naruto interrupted him.
"We didn't, but I want to know, Sai. I need to know." Naruto yawned, and let his head hit the pillow. He was exhausted.
"Naruto, go to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." Sai whispered, holding onto Naruto's hand.
XOXOXOXOXO
Sakura's green eyes almost shined in the darkness of the room at she glared at the raven, who was currently on the floor, rubbing his abused nose that had just been hit by Sakura's fist.
"What did I tell you, Sasuke? I told you if you hurt him again you'd regret it." Sakura stated calmly. After she helped Tsunade deliver Naruto's children, Sai took her aside and told her what happened. He told her that Sasuke kidnapped Naruto and was trying to force him through impossible child birth. Sakura said nothing in response, and instead, left the room.
Which brought her to this moment now, when she was standing in front of Sasuke. She had snuck into his house unnoticed, and attacked him while his guard was down.
"You do realize you can't beat me, right Sakura?" He asked as he stood up, towering over her.
"I have no intention in hitting you again, Sasuke." This caused Sasuke to become slightly confused. If Sakura wasn't there to fight, what was she there for?
"Oh no. I won't hit you. I won't hit you because the bruises and broken bones will mend fairly quickly," She paused, watching him for any signs that he would attack.
"Your heart, however, takes much longer to heal, Sasuke, and that's what I will attack."
XOXOXOXOXO
It had been three weeks since the birth of Shuya and Seiko, and both Sai and Naruto were very busy taking care of them. Both babies seemed to have Naruto's lungs, and when they cried, they wanted the whole village to know. Neither Naruto nor Sai had gotten much sleep since their babies came home, but they seemed fine with it. They loved their children.
In front of them, was an envelope with the blood test results. It would tell them which father sired which baby. Tsunade had brought them the results over a week ago, but Naruto didn't seem to want to open the envelope.
"Naruto-kun, it's okay. We can get rid of it, store it away for a while. We don't need to find out right now. We can wait a few years."
"What happens when one of our children suddenly has the sharingan though? What then? We'll be as shocked as they are." Naruto said as he gazed at the babies.
"Waiting a few years won't hurt. We can open in before they start to train, or enter the Academy."
"No. No, I need to know Sai." Naruto said as he grabbed the envelope and ripped it open. He pulled out the paper that was inside, took a deep breath, and looked at the results.
XOXOXO
"Sakura-chan, are you sure they'll be okay?" Naruto asked for the umpteenth time. Their wedding was a few hours ago, and now they were leaving for their honeymoon, which would last for a week.
"Yes, Naruto! I promise not to let Sasuke near the babies. Lee will be with me too, so please don't worry. I want you to have fun!" She said, rocking Seiko back and forth. Lee held onto Shuya, smiling.
"Okay, thanks Sakura-chan."
XOXOXO
"Almost a year, can you believe that?" Sai whispered breathlessly as he attacked Naruto's neck, leaving dark marks that would still be there in the morning. Tsunade had forbid them from having sex after the babies were born, because she wasn't sure how Naruto's body reacted to the birth and she wanted his body to have some time to heal, and the cut off date was their honeymoon, which was actually perfect. They were both frustrated, and were waiting impatiently for this day.
"Yeah," Naruto responded, moaning. He tugged at Sai's obi, hoping to rid his husband the outfit. The kimono Sai wore was light gray, a big difference from the black he usually wore. Sure, Sai looked exquisite in the kimono, but he would look even better out of it.
"Don't be so eager, we have all week, and I want to remember this night." Sai whispered as Naruto wrapped his arms tightly around Sai's neck, and kissed him. He bit into Sai's bottom lip gently, and sucked on it, laughing slightly. Sai's tongue slid out and into Naruto's mouth, wrapping itself around Naruto's.
"Tch, you're acting as though we've never done this before." Naruto said, tugging out the kimono until it slid of Sai's shoulders. He ran his hands along Sai's chest slowly, as he let the older man back him up to onto the bed. When Naruto felt the soft sheets against his legs, Sai pushed him back onto the bed. The blond landing and bounced once, and Sai joined him.
"Come on, hurry! We can go slow some other night! Take it off, hurry up!" Naruto demanded, helping Sai out of his kimono. Sai couldn't help but laugh gently at the blonds eagerness. Sai slid off his kimono and let it pool at the end of the bed.
He nipped at Naruto's neck, and the blond moaned, tilting his head to grant Sai more access. There were some marks that were there from the previous night. Sure, Tsunade said they couldn't have sex yet, but that didn't mean they couldn't fuck around.
Slowly, Sai made his way southward, to untie Naruto's obi. He pulled it off and let it fall to the floor. He continued undressing his husband, and he exposed the rest of his body, kissing everything he could get to. He slid the kimono off Naruto's upper body, and the blond raised his hips so Sai could pull the kimono off his body completely.
"Don't stop," Naruto whispered breathlessly as Sai's tongue went lower.
"Don't ever stop!" He moaned. Sai dipped his tongue into Naruto's belly button, and pulled back slightly. There was a barely-noticeable scar on the blonds stomach from the C-section. Sai traced it with his finger, smiling. That scar was going to be there forever. A permanent reminder of the children they had together.
"What the hell are you waiting for?" Naruto asked, growing impatient. Sai shook his head at the younger mans impatience and hooked his fingers on Naruto's boxers, pulling them down in one swift movement. Naruto whimpered slightly as the cold air wafted against his semi-erect cock.
Slowly, Sai leaned forward and licked the tip that was wet with pre-cum. Naruto moaned and thrust his hips upwards, but Sai held him down, before he continued his torture. He licked the base of Naruto's erection, enjoying the whines he earned from the young blond, before taking the whole thing into his mouth. Naruto's eyes widened in pure ecstasy as his back arched off the bed.
More…he wanted more of Sai's mouth. It felt so amazing. His tongue could work wonders and Naruto wondered briefly how Sai learned to be so…good at this.
"Ahh." Naruto moaned as Sai's tongue flicked against the tip again, teasing the slit. Just a little more…he was so close. If Sai stopped now, then Naruto would make sure that Sai would be sleeping alone for a month.
"Nnn, Sai!" Naruto moaned as he let himself go, cumming into Sai's mouth. Naruto slumped down and tried to catch his breath, as Sai slid up his body. The raven kissed his cheek, and reached for the lube he put on the nightstand. He missed having sex with Naruto. He missed the intense heat.
'Husband,' Naruto thought, smiling. 'He's my husband now.'
XOXOXO
"Ah, well, that was an interesting turn out." Sai said, plopping down on the couch. There were balloons and streamers all over the place. There was tons of wrapping paper scattered all throughout the living room.
The twins (although, technically they weren't twins, that was what everyone called them, because despite the fact that they have different fathers, they seemed to have a special connection) had turned a year old today, and their parents threw them a birthday party.
Naruto was a little sad to see that Sasuke never even tried to see the babies. Naruto even passed by the Uchiha compound with them, hoping Sasuke could get a glance at the little ones, but the Uchiha was never around. Now, to this day, Sasuke never saw his child. He didn't know what his own baby looked like. In fact, Naruto only saw Sasuke about four or five times since his kidnapping, and the Uchiha said nothing to him. He simply kept his eyes downcast, and walked fast, avoiding him like the plague.
"Yeah, and the party will tire them out for a while." Naruto said, smiling, as he sat down next to his husband. The elder raven pulled Naruto against his chest and placed his chin on his shoulder.
"I suppose we can clean this up in the morning. I'd rather not do it now." Sai stated, looking around the room. It was only about six o'clock, so it wasn't as if they were going to sleep yet, but they were both exhausted from the party, and they really didn't feel like cleaning up right now.
"That sounds fine. I'm actually going to go for a walk now." Naruto said, standing up. He looked over to his children who were sleeping in the love seat. They were holding each others hand, and sucking their thumbs. Seeing those two sleeping like little angels made Naruto's heart melt.
"Are you alright?" Sai asked, sensing something wrong with his husband.
"Of course! I just need some fresh air after the party," He said, leaning down. He kissed Sai's nose and pulled away, smiling.
"I'll be back in about an hour."
XOXOXO
An hour came and went, and Naruto found himself sitting in a small, grassy area near a lake, deep within the forest. His hair moved swiftly with the air, as he watched the sun in the distance. It was getting ready to set.
"Naruto?" A voice called out, and Naruto's eyes widened, he turned his head to the side. Sasuke was standing near him, looking down at him. Slowly, he settled down next to Naruto, and gazed out into the distance. They sat in uncomfortable silence for a few minutes, before Naruto spoke out;
"The sunset is really nice, ne, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, turning his head to the raven. Sasuke leaned forward, ready to kiss Naruto, when;
SLAM!
He went flying back several feet.
"What the hell was that!" He yelled, rubbing his cheek. The situation was so perfect! He knew kissing Naruto would make sense in this situation, but Naruto had to mess it up!
"How can you ask me that? Sasuke…I'm married, and I love him, and I have a family too! Why can't you understand that? Why won't you give up and understand that I love Sai and not you!" Naruto asked almost desperately. It was true. He had been married to Sai for almost a year, and they were the best 'almost year' of his entire life. He loved Sai so much, and he was so happy. Sai was the perfect husband, and their children were adorable.
"I don't understand you, dobe. I see you around all the time, you look happy, but something is clearly wrong. You want me, do you not? I'm right here! You can have me! I'll welcome you with open arms! I'll even take in Sai's child and make it my own." Sasuke shouted, narrowing his eyes.
"No! I don't! Get it through your damn head! I love Sai! But there is something wrong! I want you to meet your child! Sai is still the father…but…I want you to meet the babies! I want you to be a part of their lives. Sasuke, I want to forgive you!" Naruto yelled back. Sasuke was still an important friend to him, and he wanted the raven to meet Shuya and Seiko. He could be like an uncle to them.
Sasuke laughed at this. He closed them for a moment, and when he reopened them, his sharingan was flared up.
"Eh? What are you doing?" Naruto shouted as Sasuke charged, immediately calling chidori into his palm. He ran towards Naruto, and reached forward, trying to smash it into the blonds chest. Swiftly, Naruto back flipped, and Sasuke's chidori smashed into the tree, breaking it in half.
"Don't be such a scaredy-cat and fight me!" Sasuke shouted. Naruto shook his head in disbelief, as Sasuke clenched his fist and aimed forward. Naruto quickly caught his fist, and aimed a kick into Sasuke's stomach. The Uchiha winced slightly, but counterattacked by punching Naruto's cheek.
They both back flipped about ten feet away from each other, panting slightly.
"Stop it, Sasuke! I don't understand you!" Naruto shouted, and Sasuke charged again. Naruto clenched his fists, angry that the older teen wasn't listening to him. Sasuke punched him in the stomach, causing the blond to go flying back, and disappear in a poof. Suddenly, Sasuke was knocked down from behind. He went flying forward into the ground. When he finally stilled, he turned and looked up at the blond, who was standing in front of him, with a serious look upon his face.
"I bet you forgot about me right away. As soon as you met Sai, you immediately forgot I existed. You forgot about me and ran right into his arms. You let him take you even before you knew anything about him. You never cared about me as you claimed to! You only attempted to get me back because you felt that you had to! You never loved me!" Sasuke shouted, shaking. He was trying his best not to let the tears slip out of his eyes. He couldn't cry in front of Naruto.
"No, I did love you." Naruto whispered, on the verge of tears. He hated seeing Sasuke like this. This Sasuke wasn't the same person he met at the Academy. This wasn't the same Sasuke he tried so hard to defeat and win against. This wasn't the Sasuke he once loved. This wasn't his Sasuke anymore.
No…
That's wrong.
Sasuke was never his to begin with.
"Yes, maybe you did. But you just want someone to love you, huh? Is that why you let went to Sai? Is it? Is that why you're married to him now?" Sasuke asked, angry. If Naruto wanted love, then he would give it to him. He could give him that and so much more!
"I wondered the same thing. I wondered why I agreed to go out with him. He asked me out after we saw you with Orochimaru and Kabuto. He said he loved me, and he wanted to help me move on. He wanted to help me let go of you, and I knew I had to. I wanted you to achieve your goal to revive your clan, and at that time, I didn't think I could have children. I went out with Sai, and slowly, very slowly, I realized how happy I was with him. He made me happier than I ever was," Naruto paused, swallowing. His throat felt extremely raw, and tears were threatening to fall.
"I was falling in love, and falling hard. He was my everything. I wanted to be with him forever at that point. Then you came back, and…I was so afraid that seeing you would mess with my feelings. I thought that I may still love you, but I didn't. I loved Sai, and even though you returned, I still wanted to be with him. At that point…I knew what true love was."
"It was easy…wasn't it? It was easy to let go of me, and cast me away, out of your life completely. It was easy for you to move on and be with another person, wasn't it?"
Naruto smiled sadly, and looked down at the man who was once his best friend.
"No, you're wrong Sasuke. It was never easy…" Naruto said, and he walked away. He walked away from the forest, walked away from Sasuke, walked away from their battle, walked away from everything.
But most importantly…
He walked out of Sasuke's life for good.
He paused when he was far away from Sasuke, and turned around, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"As a matter of fact, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do," He whispered as he reached for something in his pocket. He pulled it out and smiled. It was as picture of him, Sai, Shuya, and Seiko. Shuya was on Sai's shoulders, laughing, while Seiko was in Naruto's arms, trying to reach for her brother. Sai was smiling too. The exact same smile that Naruto coaxed out of him.
"But it was worth it." He whispered as he clutched the picture close to his heart and walked away, his wedding ring shimmering against the light of the setting sun.
So how was that, the scene between Sasuke and Naruto? Kinda sad, but beautiful at the same time, right?
You'll find out which kid is Sasuke's in the next chapter. Take guesses!
