*This chapter is also more SasuNeji focused.

Chapter 28

Tenten sighed as she placed another box of decoration on the table. She knew Neji was going to kill them. Hinata had told them that he said he didn't want a baby shower because they were for women and he was no woman. Tenten found it rather funny though that Neji had to keep reminding people he wasn't a woman. With Sasuke helping them set everything up, Tenten was sure he would get it worse than Hinata, Ino, and herself.

"So how long do we have?" Ino asked tying another baby blue balloon at the end.

"Sasuke said he's giving us three hours to have everything set up so we got less than hour to have everything perfect. He said Neji starts to get a little irritated being on his feet too long," Hinata answered.

"I got Naruto to spread the word, so everyone should be here soon."

"Tenten would you mind keeping an eye on Kiyomi and Chou, while Hinata and I set out the food?"

Tenten smiled. "Sure thing!"

KH

Sasuke sighed for the hundredth time that afternoon. He was going to kill Ino. She told him she had two passes for an all spa treatment. She failed to tell him it included manicures, pedicures, and facials. Seriously, did Sasuke look like the kind of guy who would do any of those things? He only accepted the passes because he thought he would spend his time in the hot spring while Neji, got a foot massage or something.

"What's with the frown Uchiha?" Neji asked looking down at his feet.

Sasuke glared at Neji because he could hear the smile in his voice. "Maybe the fact that I'm getting my feet done! It was bad enough when they did my nails." Sasuke whispered harshly. He readjusted the hat on his head and sunk further in his seat.

"Oh relax; I use to get these done once a month before I got pregnant."

"This works for you, but not me," Sasuke responded folding his arms.

"And plus you needed something done to those feet of yours anyway," Neji said with a smile.

Sasuke frowned and looked at Neji. "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

Neji just shrugged when a lady sat down and began his treatment. "It means those rough feet of yours wont rip my nice silk sheets anymore."

Sasuke jumped a little when he felt his feet being removed from the water. He frowned at the lady and turned his attention to Neji. "My feet have never ripped any sheets Hyuga!" Sasuke hissed lowly.

Neji couldn't help but laugh. It was his turn to enjoy Sasuke misery. It was always him at the end of a joke and now Sasuke couldn't handle a little pampering. "Well they won't now since you're getting those blades cut down." Not only Neji but the women working on them laughed a little at what Neji said.

Sasuke frowned and stood up from the chair. "I'll be outside when you're done getting those lovely feet of yours done. Fat ass…"

Sasuke smirked at Neji's shocked face. He didn't even wait for him to respond before exiting the spa. He knew he would pay later for the fat comment, but Neji had been getting him all morning with smart remarks. Sasuke felt he had no choice but to bring out the final kill.

Neji couldn't believe Sasuke called him fat. Yes he had gained a lot of weighted, but that was due to the fact that he was pregnant, with twins! Sure his face was a little rounder than normal, but he had no control over that. Neji unconsciously rubbed the sides of his face. He looked down at his feet that were a little swollen. The woman had just finished neatly shaping his toenails and covered them with a clear coat for shine. Neji could only wonder if Sasuke really thought he was fat. If he did, did that mean he was disgusted by him? Neji felt tears threaten to fall when he thanked the ladies for their service.

He quietly exited the spa without even a word to Sasuke. He couldn't bear to look at him. It was clear that Sasuke wasn't attracted to him anymore. Neji sighed when he felted Sasuke walking behind him and a tear escaped his eye. He quickly wiped it away and that only caused more to fall. Neji couldn't understand why that stupid Uchiha had to take it that far.

Sasuke notice Neji's mood had changed tremendously. He was half expecting him to hit him as soon as he walked out of the spa, but instead he just walked past him like he wasn't there. Sasuke touched Neji's shoulder to stop him only to have his hand smacked away. Sasuke frowned and grabbed Neji's arm and turned him around. Once face to face Sasuke instantly regretted what he said. He only meant to shut the Hyuga up, not to make him cry.

"Don't touch me Uchiha. Let's just go home." Neji turned and continued to walk towards the Hyuga compound.

KH

"Ok everybody they've entered the compound and will be here any minute," Hanabi announced.

"Hide!" Ino yelled as everyone move to be out of sight for when the couple entered their home.

Neji slowly unlocked the door to his house. He was really glad to be home. He was going to grab some food and lock himself in his room for the rest of the day. He didn't care what the Uchiha did as long as he didn't bother him.

"SURPRISE!"

Neji dropped his keys. He couldn't believe what he saw. In his living room were all his friends. He took quick notice of the decorations and concluded that they went against his wishes for a baby shower.

"Well don't just stand there come on in," Ino said wrapping her arm around Neji. She led him to a chair with blue streamers all over it. "This is your seat."

"I don't know what to say," Neji said looking at all the smiling faces around. Honestly he was pissed, but the looks on their faces was the only thing keeping him from kicking everyone out.

"Father couldn't be here but he did buy you a gift," Hinata informed motioning to the pile of gifts on the table beside him.

"Oh and we totally fixed your nursery for you! So all you have to do is bring those babies home!"

"Yeah, that was Hinata's idea," Tenten added.

Neji looked at the three women invading his personal space and smiled. Ino, Hinata, and Tenten put this together for him. He didn't even need to ask who was responsible. "Thank you."

Ino looked around and found Sasuke standing in the doorway of the room. "Hey grouch, get over here and sit with Neji!" she yelled with her hands on her hips.

"Yeah Sasuke, why you over there alone?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke sighed as the two loud mouth blondes questioned him. "I prefer it over here."

"What do you mean? These are your kids too! You should want to sit by Neji!" Naruto fumed.

"He's right you ass. Neji is doing all the work and you don't even want to sit with him," Ino added.

Naruto and Ino both grabbed one of Sasuke's arm and was about to pull him to the seat beside Neji. "Naruto, Ino its fine really."

"You sure?" Naruto asked Neji who nodded 'yes'. "You just let me know if you change your mind. I'll drag that bastard to his seat."

"Thanks Naruto, but that won't be necessary."

Shikamaru noticed the sadden expression on his friend's face. He could only wonder what happened between the two before they got home. "You ok?"

Neji looked up at Shikamaru and sighed. "It's not like you to want to know how anyone is feeling. You said it was…troublesome."

"I still think that, but you're not just anyone."

"I'm fine, no need to worry. Where is my godson?" Neji asked.

"He's in your guest room. We kind of made that the area for the kids."

Sasuke could only frown when he saw Neji laughing and sharing small talk with Shikamaru. He knew Shikamaru and Neji were close, but right now he just wanted everyone out. He knew he helped the girls with everything, but now he wasn't in the mood for a party.

"Trouble in paradise?"

Sasuke jumped hard when a voice behind him broke through his thoughts. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"Ah, you didn't hear me come in then."

"Obviously. You scared the shit out of me. Why are you creeping around anyway?" Sasuke asked.

Kakashi leaned against the wall beside Sasuke. "I wasn't creeping; you were just so wrapped up in whatever you were thinking about you didn't hear me when I came in."

"Well whatever, just don't do that again."

"Hmm…Seems like I get no respect as Hokage," Kakashi replied with fake hurt.

"Sure you do, just not from me."

They remained silent for a while as Kakashi watched Sasuke stare at Neji. "You know you can talk to him. I'm sure he won't bite."

Sasuke frowned. "He'll do more than bite."

"How about start with I'm sorry then." Kakashi suggested.

"How do you know it wasn't his fault?" Sasuke questioned with a frown. Why was he always considered the bad guy?

Kakashi sighed and patted Sasuke's shoulder. "He's almost nine months pregnant with twins. He's never wrong." Sasuke watched as Kakashi walked towards Hinata. He hated to admit that Kakashi had a point. He was wrong for calling him fat. There is no telling what is going through Neji's mind right. Neji did tend to take things to the extreme and twist everything he said. Sasuke just sighed and decided he would talk to Neji once the shower was over. He really didn't want to make things worse than what they already are.

Neji gave a small smile as he listened to Gai and Lee talk about who knows what. It was good seeing the two, but Neji always hated when they went on a youthful rant. Neji agreed with whatever Lee asked him and looked off for a brief second and froze at what he saw. There was Sai talking with Sasuke. To make matters worse Sasuke seemed to be enjoying his conversation and Sasuke never enjoyed conversing with other people besides him unless it was necessary. Just when Neji thought things couldn't get worse Sai touched Sasuke's shoulder and the Uchiha didn't stop him. Neji knew how attractive Sai was, he wasn't blind. He himself once thought of Sai in a more than friendly matter once. Neji smiled at Gai and Lee and excused himself.

Hinata watched as Neji left the party.

"Are you ok Neji?" Hinata asked softly as she, Ino, and Tenten entered his bathroom.

Neji quickly wiped his face. "I'm fine. Go back and enjoy the party."

Ino frowned and folded her arms. "How can we do that if the guest of honor is upset?"

Neji sighed and leaned against the counter. He couldn't believe he was so emotional. He could only blame it on hormones, because there was no way he would get so upset at something anyone did or said to him.

"What happened?" Hinata asked. Neji looked at the three set of eyes staring at him; waiting for him to answer. He knew he had to say something because they wouldn't leave him alone if he didn't.

"I, I don't think Sasuke is attracted to me anymore," Neji answered softly.

"Is he going blind or something?" Ino asked and Neji laughed a little. "I'm serious! How can he not be attracted to you? You're gorgeous!"

"She's right Neji, if it's one thing you are its attractive," Tenten added.

"It's not the same," Neji spoke softly.

"What's changed," Hinata asked.

"He's just different now I suppose and I can't blame him though. I'm not exactly the same either. I don't look the same, I'm moody, and I'm always tired, mean…" The three women's faces sadden as Neji talked. Neji blinked back tears. "He doesn't even look at me the same. The way he looks at Sai…"

"Whoa wait!" Ino said holding up her hands. "Did you just say Sai? Is he like coming between you guys?"

Neji shook his head. "Sai hasn't done anything wrong, but I just hate the way Sasuke looks at him. When he looks at me it's almost like he's disgusted or something. I don't know."

"Why would you think that?" Hinata asked.

"He called me fat ass today…" the three women gasped. Hinata couldn't believe Sasuke would call Neji fat. It was like an unwritten rule to never call a mother carrying your children fat. Ino frowned; she could only think Yamato would have gotten killed on the spot for calling her fat.

"Why would he say that? Asshole!" Tenten said.

"We were joking around and I guess he got mad and said it. And the worst part was he didn't even seem liked he cared it hurt me." Neji laughed a little and wiped his face. "I sound like a 12 year old girl…"

"No, you sound like someone who's been hurt by the person they love," Hinata said.

"Leave it to me."

"What are you going to do Ino?" Tenten asked.

"You'll see. Get him cleaned up and back to the party."

Naruto and Kiba were having a heated discussion with Shikamaru in the middle. "Naruto." Naruto turned to see Ino standing in the doorway and she motioned for him to come with her.

"What's up Ino?"

Ino put her hands on her hip. "Sasuke called Neji fat."

Naruto wasn't sure how he should respond. Neji was fat he thought and he couldn't see what the problem was. "And?"

"And? What do you mean and? He hurt Neji's feelings and now Neji doesn't even want to enjoy his party!" Ino yelled whispered.

"Ok, what do you want me to do? You know there's talking to either one of them. Both of them can be real jerks at times."

"Naru," Ino stared causing Naruto to blush. "Neji is pregnant and no pregnant woman wants to be called fat," Ino explained. "So I need you to talk some sense into that friend of yours." After listening to everything Ino said Naruto understood why she wanted him to make Sasuke apologize.

"Ok leave it me."

Sasuke saw Naruto approaching him and Sai. "Sasuke you need to apologize to Neji."

"For what?" Sasuke asked a little annoyed.

"You know for what!" Naruto yelled back poking Sasuke's shoulder.

"No I don't and don't touch me dobe." Sasuke pushed Naruto away from him.

Kakashi sighed as he saw his former students argue. He causally walked over to the three younger men. "Is there a problem boys?"

"No just this idiot over here can't keep his hands to himself."

"Just apologize asshole and I'll leave you alone!"

Kakashi stood between the two. He wasn't sure what was going on. "Ok you two, what's going on?"

"This jerk called Neji fat and it hurt his feelings!" Naruto yelled pointing an accusing finger at Sasuke. Everyone in the room went quiet and stared. "Now apologize to him before I kick your ass!"

"I'd love to see you try idiot. You don't even know what happened."

"All I need to know is you hurt one of my friends because you're an insensitive prick!"

"Perhaps you should save this for another time," Sai offered trying to defuse the situation.

"I have to agree with Sai. Now is not the time." Kakashi looked at both Sasuke and Naruto. Kakashi turned and faced everyone. "Let's call it a day shall we? I believe this has been enough excitement for the day."

"This isn't over bastard," Naruto said as he grabbed Tenten's hand and left.

Neji could only watch as everyone bean to leave. He could only imagine what Ino must have told Naruto. He was pretty sure she made it worse than what it was to get Naruto to go against Sasuke.

KH

Neji was standing in the boys' nursery and was happy with what Hinata and the girls had done. Everything he needed was already set up and organized. Neji rubbed his large belly and smiled a little. He would finally get a chance to meet the little people growing inside of him tomorrow. The time and everything was set. All Neji had to do was show up.

"Did you tell Naruto I called you fat?" Sasuke asked from behind Neji.

Neji didn't turn around, but answered. "No."

"Then why the hell was that loud mouth all over me about hurting your feelings?"

Neji just shrugged. "I wouldn't know," he said calmly walking past Sasuke. Sasuke grabbed Neji's arm stopping him. "What now Uchiha…"

"What's going on Neji?" Sasuke asked. "I mean really…"

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with. Now if you will excuse me I need to lay my fat ass down."

Sasuke sighed and followed Neji into their bedroom. "Come on, that was just a joke ok? I don't think you're fat."

"It's not just that Uchiha. It's everything. You act like you hate me or something…" Neji said frowning at Sasuke.

"Hate? You seriously going to talk to me about feeling hated right now!" Sasuke yelled. "If anyone feels hated it's me not you. No matter what I do or say you always have some way of finding something wrong with it. At first it thought it was the whole pregnancy hormone thing, but I just realized something…you're selfish Hyuga."

Neji frowned. "Selfish, seriously?"

"Yeah selfish Hyuga; you only think about yourself and what you need. What about me Neji! Have you stopped just for one second to get off yourself to even consider what I go through dealing with you and your shit?!"

Neji couldn't stop himself from hitting Sasuke. It happened so quick even Sasuke was caught off guard by the force of it. Sasuke looked to stare at Neji only to see tears falling from his eyes. "Ok Sasuke you win!" Neji sat on the bed looking at the floor. "You're right. I am selfish, but I have a right to be…" Sasuke just continued to stare at Neji with an unreadable expression on his face. "I've gained fifty plus pounds during the pregnancy, so yeah my feet hurt and I complain about it, I have back pains so I don't like to be out long, and I can get moody when I don't get enough rest. Put yourself in my spot. A pregnant Sasuke would be way worse than me."

There was a long silence that washed over them; neither moving nor looking at the other. Sasuke had to admit he would not take being pregnant as good as Neji is doing now. He loved the twins Neji's carrying but there was no way he could do it. So maybe he should have been more understanding to Neji's feelings. "I like your feet." Sasuke looked up and saw Neji looking at his feet. His first thought was to cover them, but then Neji sat on the floor in front of him. Sasuke was never one to be self-conscious about anything, but he couldn't help it after the way Neji joked about it earlier. Neji's hand gently rubbed Sasuke's foot. "I was only teasing earlier. There's nothing on your body I don't like," Neji said with a small blush.

Neji moved closer to Sasuke so that he sat between his legs. Sasuke didn't move or push him away. He wasn't sure if Neji was really trying to make up or attack him again. Neji laid his head on Sasuke's shoulder giving his neck a soft kiss. "Let's not fight anymore Sasuke."

Sasuke let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and wrapped his arms around Neji. "You're the boss," Sasuke teased tickling Neji's side only to have his push away rather quickly. "What I thought you liked being tickled."

Neji turned to face Sasuke and smiled a little. "I love you Sasuke," Neji said taking Sasuke's face in his hands. Sasuke leaned in and kissed Neji hard. Grabbing the back of Neji's head Sasuke quickly made the kiss more passionate invading Neji's mouth with his tongue. He growled a little when he heard Neji whimpering under him, pulling him closer. Sasuke realized if he was going to be the man in their relationship he was going to have to start acting like one. Tomorrow was going to change everything between them. They were going to become parents and Neji needed him and their boys were going to need him too.

KH

Hinata walked quietly around the house. "Neji, Sasuke!" She called out their names as she walked towards the back of the house. Hinata had arrived at the hospital almost an hour ago because Neji was supposed to deliver the babies today. Since he hadn't shown up, Hinata told Shizune she would go look for Neji and Sasuke.

Hinata slowly opened the bedroom door and saw both Neji and Sasuke still sound asleep. She could only conclude they had made up after their little spat yesterday. As she walked closer she could tell Sasuke was naked and she instantly blushed. She gently shook Sasuke to wake him. "Sasuke…"

Sasuke groaned and turned away from Hinata pulling Neji tighter against him. "Sasuke!" Hinata yelled. Sasuke then frowned then turned to look at Hinata.

"What is it?" he mumbled.

"Um, you guys are late for Neji's appointment," Hinata answered.

Sasuke sat up causing Neji to stir a little. "What time is it?"

"Almost 10am; you guys were supposed to be there an hour ago."

Sasuke yawned and got out of the bed and Hinata squeaked. Sasuke stretched, not realizing he wasn't wearing anything. "Get your cousin together I'm going to shower."

"O-ok…"

Hinata sat in the living room waiting for Sasuke and Neji to get dressed. She was happy they made up, but she didn't want to see both of them naked. Not that they weren't attractive, it was just weird seeing them that way. Hinata adjusted Kiyomi on her lap.

"We're ready and I apologize for you having to come all this way to get us," Neji said entering room followed by Sasuke. Kiyomi started wiggling in Hinata lap reaching her hands up. Hinata smiled and handed her to Neji, only to have her reach behind Neji for Sasuke.

"Neji looks like you have some competition for Sasuke's attention," Hinata joked as Kiyomi snuggled into Sasuke.

KH

"Ok this is what's going to happen. Neji will be taken into the operating room where I and my team will remove the babies. It will only take about a total about 30 minutes to open you up and get them out. If everything looks good with them, they both will be able to stay in the room with you. So any questions?" Shizune asked.

"No."

"Alright, I'm going to dope you up and we can get this show on the road."

"How long will it take for the medicine to take affect?" Neji asked watching Shizune's hands start to glow.

"By the time I remove my hands you'll feel the change."

Neji smiled a little and looked at Sasuke who gave him a small smile in return. "You know Sasuke…" Neji said softly reaching out for him. "What is it?" Sasuke asked. Neji smiled and ran his finger down the side of Sasuke's face. "I just realized how handsome you are…"

Sasuke blushed a little. "Ok Hyuga. It's clear the medicine is working."

"Ok Neji, I'm going to roll you away and when we return we'll have babies!"

"I looove you Sasuke…" Neji sang out. Sasuke could only sigh and fight down his blush. Hiroki and Sakumo were laughing and it only made things worse.

KH

Sasuke paced the waiting room. now he could understand why Hinata's father was a nervous wreck when he wasn't able to be in the room with her. Sasuke couldn't help but think something bad was happening. It felt like Neji had been in that room for hours. He turned to look at all the familiar faces in the room. Everyone was talking quietly amongst themselves. He seemed to be the only one sweating.

"Nervous?"

Sasuke jumped a little at the hand touching his shoulder. "A little," Sasuke answered honestly. If anyone knew how he felt it was Kakashi, since then man hand three children of his own. "What if I'm a bad father?" Sasuke asked softy.

Kakashi just hummed. He wasn't sure what to tell Sasuke. "You'll be fine." It was only thing Kakashi could say. He himself was the same way when Sakumo was born. With everything he'd gone through the past few years he could only hope Sasuke wouldn't make his mistakes. Kakashi thought of himself as a good father and he knew Sasuke would be too.

"I just feel like I'll let him down you know…"

"I don't think you will and plus I don't think Neji will let you slack off even if you wanted to."

The room got quiet and Sasuke noticed Shizune walking towards the group. She had a small smile on her face so Sasuke could only assume everything went well. "Hey everyone."

"So, where is he?" Sasuke asked.

"Neji is in his room resting right now." Shizune grabbed Sasuke's arm to keep him from leaving. "I need to speak with you alone." Sasuke nodded and followed out of ear shot of the group.

"So what is it?"

"Neji is doing fine but he isn't awake right now. Sometime during the closure he passed out because of shortness of breath. He is very week right due to some blood loss, but overall he should be fine."

"When we he wake up?" Sasuke asked.

"I can't say really but I believe it should be within a day or so."

"The boys, are they ok?"

"Yes they are fine. Baby A is 6lbs and baby B is a little underweight at 4lbs." Shizune answered.

"Can I see them…"

"Yes of course. Come this way everyone to see the babies."

The group walked silently behind Shizune until they came to a glass window. There laid a small baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket. "Sasuke come with me," Shizune said walking into the room. Everyone else admired the small baby from outside the room. Shizune picked up the baby and handed him to Sasuke. "Here's your daddy."

Sasuke couldn't help but smile when the baby opened his dark eyes and looked at him. The baby looked more like him than he thought he would. Sasuke always thought the twins would look like Neji. Speaking of twins…"Where's his brother?"

"Oh he's being monitored right now, but you can see him," Shizune answered motioning for Sasuke to follow her. "They are identical by the way. Except baby B has some small lines at the crease of his eyes by his nose." Shizune opened another door. The lying in a small clear ben was Sasuke's other son. He was much tinnier than his brother. Sasuke noticed all the cords attached to his son it made him felt helpless because he knew there was nothing he could do to help him.

"How long will he be like this?"

"It varies from child to child. Once we know that he is able to breathe and feed properly on his own I will take him off the machines." Shizune touched Sasuke's shoulder. "He will be fine Sasuke. You can sit in here as long as you want with them."

"Thanks, but I want to see Neji for a while first."

Shizune smiled. "Of course and you can take the one you're holding with you."

KH

Sasuke entered Neji's room and found him resting peacefully. He slowly approached his bedside and kissed his forehead. "You did good Hyuga," Sasuke whispered. Sasuke sat in the chair next to Neji's bed and looked down at their son. The baby's face was turning into a frown so Sasuke tried to sooth him by rocking. Little cries began to emit and Sasuke bounced and hummed.

"S-Sasuke…"

Sasuke looked over and saw Neji trying to sit up. He was quickly at his side adjusting his bed for him. "You ok?"

Neji just nodded. Sasuke could tell Neji was tired. "Is that….is that one of the twins?" Neji asked.

"Yeah, he was the first born," Sasuke said handing the crying baby to his 'mother'. "His brother looks just like him."

Neji smiled and cradle the small baby against his chest. "So they both look like you," Neji said softly. "Where is his brother? Is he hurt? Did I do something wrong?"

Sasuke rubbed Neji hair from his face and shushed him. "He's fine. Try not to worry yourself," Sasuke said kissing the side of Neji's head. "So what do you want to call him?"

"Shoichi…" the baby let out a small yawn at his name. "I think he likes it."

"Or he could think its lame," Sasuke said earning an elbow from Neji. "Shoichi Uchiha. I like the sound of that."

"Me too," Neji said softly. "Where is everyone?"

"Oh, well I told Shizune to send them home. You weren't feeling well and with one of the twins under observation; I just thought it would be better for them to see you once you were released."

"Thanks for that Sasuke."

Sasuke sighed and sat down on the small couch in the room. "I was thinking of naming the other one after my brother."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he kind of reminds me of him in a way I guess. But I only use it if you want to," Sasuke said looking a little hopeful in Neji's opinion.

"Shoichi and Itachi Uchiha it is."

A/N: Please feel free to leave a review and pointers on ways I can improve. Please excuse any mistakes if there are a lot. I tried to catch all of them, but it's a little hard sometimes.

Enjoy! Ciao =)
