BTW: I swear I'm almost done please keep reading.

RECAP: Kakashi comes to apologize.

Sasuke and Sakura grinned at each other and went into the kitchen to fix themselves a plate of Gaara's waffles. They all sat down at the table and started eating.

"Hey Naruto?"

"What Sasuke?"

"Did I sleep walk to my bed or something? Did you see that?"

"Oh, no. I was looking for you and I found you asleep on couch. No one likes waking up on the couch. So I put you in your room."

"How did I not wake up with you picking me up and putting me in bed?"

"For a second I thought you might be dead, you were really tired!"

"So where did you sleep?"

"...Ya know...I got more sleep than you guys..."

"Did you not sleep?"

"Well, someone had to be awake."

"Naruto, you're a really good friend."

"I'm glad you say that. Otherwise naming your kid after me would be weird."

Naruto laughed at his own joke, which made everyone else laugh, even Gaara. Sasuke and Naruto grabbed the plates and took them back into the kitchen. Sakura started talking to Gaara.

"MAN! Those were awesome waffles Gaara!"

"Ha, thanks."

"Hey Gaara?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think Naruto spends too much time with us?"

"No...I mean he does spend lots of time with you two, but I know it's because he's needed...I don't mean you guys can't take care of yourselves...I just think with everything that's going on he feels more needed here...he likes being needed...no ones REALLY needed him except you two and me...helping out with you guys, or with anyone for that matter is what makes him happiest."

"Is that so?"

"Mhmm which is also why he's so excited that you guys are naming the baby after him. He's always wanted someone to look up to him. A lot of people currently do but...it means a lot more this way...don't tell him I told you that!"

"Ha I won't. Ya know you two are like the perfect couple."

"Why's that?"

"I don't know. You just are, you work well together, and of course you love each other. It's really sweet in my opinion, the way you two only have eyes for each other, the way you two are just so in love."

"Wow...thanks. I haven't heard a compliment on us before. You really shouldn't be complimenting us. You and Sasuke are just as in love if not more. I don't know if I could handle a baby, not that I can do that, but I really admire you two for sticking together. After what happened most people would've broken up, thinking they dodged a bullet. You two see it as losing the greatest expression of your love. How many young couples out there think the same way?"

"Gaara, I'm glad you an Naruto are together. I like you. You're a good friend to have around."

"Friend eh?"

"Yep. Friend."

MEANWHILE

Naruto and Sasuke were cleaning the dishes.

"Naruto, I'm sorry."

"Bout what?"

"Well, it's like you're our caretaker, I really truly appreciate all you're doing but I feel like a huge burden. I mean look at you, you cleaned up the apartment, punched Kakashi sensei for us, brought us home, put Sakura to bed, picked me up and put me to bed, cleaned the couch cushion, made us breakfast, talked to Kakashi sensei with us. Naruto aren't you tired, you haven't slept in such a long time, and you've been working..."

"Sasuke, you didn't ask me to do these things. There's no reason to feel like a burden. I'm doing it because I love you guys."

"What about Gaara, doesn't he get...upset?"

"I can't tell, he tells me no but I can never be sure. I know he wouldn't tell me even if he was, he always knows where everyone is supposed to be. If I'm needed here, he won't let me leave, even if he wants me to come home. I love him for it but I feel so bad."

"See this is what I mean. Naruto, me and Sakura can handle this. You should go home, sleep, eat, sleep some more. I don't know if I'll ever be able to thank you enough for coming last night. I mean, you got the sheets and the shower, and you came to the hospital. If you hadn't have done those things Sakura might not be as OK as she is now."

"Sasuke, I'm glad you said that...I need to sleep...I hate to admit it but I really need sleep. The only think keeping me awake is the sugar in the syrup from my waffle. I just gotta fix the couch. Then I think I should go home, I don't want to be in the way, falling asleep here. Let me clean the kitchen though."

"Naruto, no, stop. No more helping. You're going to pass out if you do anything else...why are you doing all this stuff for us, I really appreciate it but you're working yourself to death."

"I don't want you guys to...have to do anything unnecessary. I read if Sakura does too much work during the early months it could happen again...and you're not supposed to be stressed or it's hard to conceive."

"Naruto...you really don't need to work yourself into the ground...this might sound kinda mean but...why are you so bent on us having this baby as soon as possible?"

"...I thought you guys wanted a baby as soon as possible..."

"We do, I just was wondering why you do too."

"I just...I might be a little jealous..."

"Of what?"

"It's just you guys are having a baby...you get to show each other just how much you love each other...me and Gaara...we'll never be able to do that...it just seems a little unfair...a lot unfair...I just don't want you two to take it for granted..."

"Naruto. You can always adopt."

"Sasuke, that's different and you know it. If we adopt it won't look like either of us or act like either of us. You and Sakura's baby is the closest we'll ever be to having our own baby..."

Sasuke didn't really know what to say, he just hugged Naruto.

"Please don't be jealous of us. What you and Gaara have...you don't need a baby."

"I guess...but we don't have the choice...what better way to prove you love each other than to have a baby..."

"Naruto, loving each other. That's enough to prove you love each other. Just love each other."

"...I'm gonna put the couch back together...and head out."

"Naruto, you've done enough. Go home, get some rest. Either me or Sakura will fill you in on anything that happens. I promise."

"...Thanks again..."

"No, thank you. I got everything here. You and Gaara go home and sleep."

Naruto grinned hugged Sasuke and walked back into where Gaara and Sakura were sitting.

"Gaara...let's go home."

"OK. Bye Sakura."

Sakura and Gaara both stood up. Gaara and Naruto both hugged her. Gaara said bye to Sasuke and they left. Naruto was falling asleep as they were walking home. Gaara managed to get him home before he'd completely collapsed. Gaara plopped him on the bed. Naruto was asleep as soon as he hit the sheets. Gaara laughed, he changed both of their clothes. They both needed sleep. Gaara shut the shutters and tried to make the room as dark as possible. He got in bed next to Naruto and fell asleep fast.

MEANWHILE

Sakura walked into the kitchen with Sasuke. She wrapped her arms around his waist and put her head on his shoulder. Sasuke turned around and kissed her.

"Are you as tired as me?"

"Yes, yes I am."

"Lets goto bed."

"Fine with me."

Sasuke took her by the hand and they walked to the bedroom. They laid down and Sasuke started kissing Sakura's neck. She started giggling. She turned over and started kissing him. She pushed her tongue in. Sasuke was loving this as was Sakura, so both of them were moaning. Sasuke broke the kiss after a while.

"Sakura, let's goto bed."

"But...Sasuke..."

"It's too soon for all that I think."

"No, no it's not."

"Either way you're too tired and I'm too tired. We need sleep."

"...Fine..."

Sasuke got up close to Sakura and they fell asleep.
