Sasuke's Secret

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. Oh and if you have any requests for particular brands of lemonade or family scenes, feel free to get them in now. I may not be able to fit all of them in, but I do try. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

The SEAL'S Kiss: I just posted a new collaboration with celestia193 called The SEAL'S Kiss. It's a modern Sasuke x Hinata story. Hinata is the president's daughter and Sasuke is her bodyguard. Check it out it out, if you're interested in that kind of thing.

Chapter Notation: There a hint of citrus in this chapter and it's a rather unique flavor. It will be a flashback and in italics. So if you aren't feeling that adventurous, you may want to skip it. I got a request for this one, so I decided to grant it.

Chapter 36

"Sasuke, you're absolutely hopeless at this." Itachi shakes his head in amusement.

His brother clearly adored his children and he was an excellent Taijutsu User, but for some reason Sasuke just couldn't change a diaper. No matter how hard his foolish little brother tried, the younger man appeared completely incapable of this seemingly simple task.

Sasuke rolls his eyes at his brother. "I'll get it!" Uh huh.

Itachi wasn't so sure about that. His foolish little brother had already been at this for about ten minutes with no signs of success. Honestly, he was beginning to suspect that the twins might actually be playing some kind of sadistic game with their father at this point.

They never squirmed this much when he or Hinata changed their diapers and the two of them were giggling. They were giggling a lot. Suspiciously so. That was impossible though. They were only two months old. The twins couldn't possibly be capable of planning to that extent yet.

"Well I suppose that I do have to give you credit for trying." Hiashi shakes his head. "Though I'm going to put you out of your misery. If for no other reason than to ensure my grandchildren do not get a rash." Things were bad when Hiashi decided to help them. "Sasuke, activate your Sharingan and watch me." And with that being said, Hiashi proceeds to change the twins' diapers.

Sasuke blinks. Hmm. Why didn't Itachi think of that? It would have been far simpler.

Hinata laughs as she watches from her position on the couch. "Thank you, Father." Not that Itachi could blame her.

It was a rather comical sight. One of the most powerful ninjas in the world couldn't change a diaper. Well at least that had been the case as of a few minutes ago, anyway.

His foolish little brother could do anything else. He could play with the babies, help to feed them when Hinata bottled milk for them, burp them, dress them, bathe them, but for some reason…this task just was a bit beyond his grasp. Frankly, it was hysterical.

"You're welcome." Hiashi nods.

Sasuke sulks as he scoops up the twins into his arms. "Don't worry, I'll get your uncle back later for being evil." While some of the finer mechanics of fatherhood might still be giving him trouble, well there were truly few things more adorable than Sasuke with the twins.

Well other than Hinata, Itachi decides. As he expected though, she had taken rather well to motherhood. Of course, she was still recovering from the delivery, but the woman was very attentive.

"They're getting so big." Hinata smiles as she watches Sasuke play with them. "They'll be walking and talking in no time."

That was true. Which was why Itachi had taken up a new hobby. Photography. The more pictures they had, the better in his opinion. Though his interest for the hobby was primarily for family photos, the eldest Uchiha supposed there was no harm in being handy with a camera.

Hiashi sighs at that and glances at Hinata. "Are the three of you prepared for that?" And unfortunately, Itachi knew precisely what the grandfather was asking.

Were they prepared for the twins to get bigger? For them to be asked about their parentage? Itachi suspected they would never fully be prepared for such a thing, but Kurenai had helped them take the first important steps for dealing with such things.

She had pointed out that it was going to happen. The only question was how were they going to deal with it. The thought of anyone upsetting his sweet nieces was well simply infuriating and he knew that Sasuke felt the same.

"As ready as we'll ever be." Hinata smiles at the twins. "Besides, I'm sure that they'll win everyone over. Who can resist their bubble eyes?" She giggles mischievously. "They got them from Sasuke."

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. "For the final time, I do not have bubble eyes!" And that was that.

"You don't anymore, but you used to." Itachi pokes his forehead teasingly. He knew that Sasuke hated it and that's why he did it. "You outgrew them. They were rather adorable."

Sasuke grumbles and shakes his head as he rocks his daughters. Well at least someone would take him seriously again! Thank goodness for Ami and Aiko. His little Uchiha Princesses!

"Whatever." There was no point in arguing over the matter.

Meanwhile Aoda was lounging in the Forest of Death with Gamabunta. The Leaf had grown used to seeing the giant summons of Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto around. No one batted an eyelash anymore and well, they were rather happy to see the massive slug, snake, and toad handle some of the less pleasant critters that ran around in the forest.

"So the twins are doing well then?" The toad looks at the other Summon.

Aoda knew that Gamabunta liked to pretend to sterner than he was. Deep down though, he was a big softie. Well at least that was the case when it came to children.

So he nods his head in answer to the question. "Both very healthy Hatchlings." Which was a good thing for obvious reasons.

First of all, Aoda liked Hatchlings. He didn't like to see them suffer needlessly. Secondly, Master Sasuke would have been very upset, if they weren't healthy. And well, thirdly, an upset Master Sasuke wasn't good for the Five Great Nations to say the least!

"Good. Good." Gamabunta shakes his head. "I can't believe you're brat spawned before my brat."

Upon hearing that Aoda could only nod in agreement. Naruto had always seemed like the more affectionate human, but well Sasuke had found his Mate early. He was a bit surprised that Master Sasuke and Master Itachi were sharing their Mate, but they all seemed happy and in the long run it might be better of the Hatchlings.

Now, they would have two "fathers" to protect them instead of one. So that was good. It might actually be a rather clever survival strategy, he muses.

"True enough." Aoda looks around in confusion. "Have you seen our favorite slug?"

He hadn't seen her all day. It was rather strange to put it mildly. Normally, she stuck close to them to keep him and Gamabunta from bickering.

The giant toad snorts in amusement. "I think she's trying to teach Garuda a lesson." He shakes his massive head as if he was about to reveal something that he felt was incredibly foolish. "It seems he thought the slug was breakfast."

Oh boy. That couldn't have gone over well. The female Summon was normally rather sweet, but Lady Tsunade and Sakura wouldn't have taken her for their Summon…if she was completely docile.

Every once in awhile, the slug would display her temper. To put it mildly, those occasions could be rather frightening.

"I pity him." Aoda shakes his enormous head. "Garuda has just bitten off far more than he can chew."

Gamabunta nods his head in agreement. "Indeed. That does seem to be the case." And then he proceeds to puff on his pipe as if nothing had happened.

A few hours later, Hinata was cuddled up between Sasuke and Itachi. The twins were in her lap and they had company. Sakura and Naruto had decided to visit them and well to say the least Shadow was excited about that.

"Arf! Arf!" The puppy was running around happily, his tail wagging quickly as he begged for treats.

Hinata knew that Shadow knew visitors usually meant he would receive lots of attention and if he was lucky, treats. He was quite the clever canine. Which was probably why Kiba had given him to them in the first place. Well that and he was just so cute.

Naruto laughs as he tickles Aiko's tummy. "I still can't get over the fact that you're a father and Itachi is an uncle." He smiles down at the baby. "Or how cute they are."

"Pft. Someday, I'll have to explain kunais and pouches to you, Loser." Sasuke smiles smugly though. "And of course, they are. They're Hinata's daughters." Hinata laughs softly at that.

Sasuke was obviously feeling rather smug these days and well it was too endearing to be annoyed about it. Though Itachi was very much a proud uncle. She knew that eventually, she'd have at least one more child. It was only fair.

Itachi deserved a chance to be a father as well. That and Hinata was realistic enough to realize that two children wasn't much of a Clan Restoration. It was a good start though.

Naruto fails and glares at him. "I know what kunais and pouches are!" Some things never changed.

"How are you feeling?" Sakura smiles at Hinata. "Still sore?"

Well that was a natural question for a medic to ask. Though Hinata made sure to lower her voice as the boys bickered. It was a bit awkward to answer.

She smiles at her friend. "Better. Still sore, of course." Hinata shakes her head and laughs. "These days it's mostly my breasts, if the twins don't nurse enough." Though her husbands had been more than willing to help her with the last part.

Warning Exotic Citrus

The twins were sleeping and her breasts ached. That was only to be expected, really. She was a nursing mother.

"Hinata, what's wrong?" Itachi looked at her, his eyes filled with concern.

She turned around and saw the same concern in Sasuke's eyes. Oh boy. She wasn't going to get out of this one easily. At least not without confessing what was going on.

The bluenette felt her face turn ruby red. "It's my breasts." Hopefully, she wouldn't have to say anymore.

"That's only natural." Sasuke smiled at her as he tugged off her shirt and bra. "You are nursing, after all. Maybe we can help though." It didn't surprise her that Sasuke was the one who offered first.

He had always been a breast ninja. She nodded shyly as caressed one of her breasts. "Does that feel better?" Again, she nodded.

"It always feels better when either of you touch me." Her face would likely forever be stained bright red around her lovers.

It was more than a little embarrassing to admit to such a thing. That her breasts ached because of how full they were. Though Itachi and Sasuke seemed more than willing to help.

"Perhaps, you simply need some of the pressure to be relieved." Itachi smirked as he took a nipple into his mouth and lightly sucked.

Hinata gasped and moaned at the sensation. It was amazing how it could feel so different. When the twins did that, it could be a bit awkward, but mostly it was sweet. It was a way to bond and care for them. When Itachi or Sasuke did it, well it was erotic.

Sasuke smirked. "Sounds like a good idea." And took the other nipple into his mouth.

Their hands were everywhere. Over her breasts. Her stomach. Her backside and her thighs. There wasn't a single place that they didn't touch as they sucked.

It all felt so good, but unfortunately…they couldn't go beyond foreplay. It was too soon. Still they spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.

"Nhh!" She moaned at the feeling of their lips against her skin.

The sight of them both suckling was an erotic one. One that she couldn't resist. Their lips were wrapped around her breasts was sending waves of white hot lust and desire racing towards her core. She needed more of this.

They hadn't been able to join together, but there were other ways to give each other pleasure. Gentle caresses, heated kisses, stroking with their hands, or using their mouths. Gods and Goddesses, did she ever love their mouths!

End of Exotic Citrus

"Ah well that's normal." Sakura nods in understanding.

Elsewhere Taka had been heading to the Uchiha District when Suigetsu notices something unusual. There was a Hyuga woman lurking about, but he knew that she wasn't Hinata or Hanabi.

Hanabi sometimes visited the Uchiha Family. So did Hiashi for that matter. The rest of the Uchiha Clan avoided it like a plague.

"Something really fishy is going on." He glances at Karin. "Can you get a lock on that one's chakra?"

The red head nods. "I can." She activates her Sensory abilities and watches the other woman like hawk.

Suigetsu noticed that even Jugo was frowning. Yeah. Something was really up. The gentle giant did not look happy.

"I can't imagine that she's up to anything good." The orange haired man shakes his head. "We should monitor her for awhile and let Sasuke know what is going on."

Suigetsu nods in agreement. While he and Sasuke couldn't be more different, he still wasn't going to let some crazy chick go after the other guy's kids. They were teammates, after all.

"She's trying to mask her chakra." Karin pushes her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "One thing is for certain. She doesn't want to be caught."

People who didn't want to get caught were definitely up to something. This didn't bode well for the young family. The only question Suigetsu's mind was why.

Why was this woman willing to take such a huge risk? Coming into the Uchiha District alone was borderline suicidal, especially when the relationship between the Hyuga and Uchiha Clans were so tense.

"Then we're going to catch her." Suigetsu nods as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

A short while later, they had finally managed to usher Sakura and Naruto off. Now, they could get back to doing important things. Like giving the twins their bath and settling them down for bed, Sasuke thinks to himself.

"How is the water temperature?" He looks at Itachi.

The last thing that Sasuke was to scold their precious princesses with hot water or for it to be too cold for their delicate skin. He supposed all baby skin was delicate, but they were just both so tiny. So fragile and innocent that every minor inconvenience seemed like it was going to be a catastrophe of epic proportions.

Itachi chuckles at Sasuke being overprotective. "It's the perfect temperature for our princesses." Sasuke nods at that and gently sets the twins down in to the bath.

"Wahhh!" Aiko wasn't particularly happy about that.

Then again, Sasuke had noticed his eldest daughter didn't seem too keen on water in general. She was definitely an Uchiha. He imagined that she'd start puffing out fireballs very shortly at this rate.

"Do either of you have her yellow duckie?" Hinata shakes her head in disbelief. "It's the only thing that calms her down." The young mother giggles.

Sasuke nods as Itachi places two yellow duckies inside the bathtub. In contrast to Aiko, Ami seemed to love the water. She took to it like a mermaid or something. No yellow duckie was required for her. Other than the principle of the thing, he supposed.

When you had twins, you were required to get two of everything. It was probably a good thin that Itachi had gone so crazy with the baby shopping in hindsight!

Aiko immediately settled down now that she had her duck. "That's a good girl" Sasuke smiles.

He wished everyone was so easily pleased. Honestly, their twins lived the perfect life. Sasuke hadn't been joking when he told Hiashi that.

"She's going to be a natural at the Fireball Jutsu." Itachi chuckles as he plays with Aiko's hair and then he glances at Ami adoringly. "And I'll be she'll be quite skilled Genjutsu."

Hinata laughs softly at her husband's antics. Honestly, she thought it was a little soon to be pondering their abilities so much. They were only two months old!

"And what makes you think that?" She could humor them though.

There was very little that she wouldn't do for Itachi and Sasuke. They were both so proud of the twins. So Hinata could humor their little delusions.

Itachi smirks at her question as if the answer was obvious. "She's fond of water. Water and Genjutsu go together rather well." They did?

Hinata didn't see the connection, but she decides not to question it. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a little Genjutsu Mistress in the making. Kurenai and Itachi would just have to handle that aspect of Ami's training though.

"Ah I see." The Uchiha Matriarch shakes her head in amusement. "That makes perfect sense."

Sasuke nods and chuckles. "Yes, it does." He gives Hinata pleading look.

He didn't have to say it. She knew exactly what he wanted. Her husband wanted to humor her other husband. Which is exactly what she intended to do anyway.

"Well I would say they're clean." Itachi smiles at the children he scoops up Ami and Sasuke takes Aiko. "Let's get them to bed."

Hinata couldn't disagree with that. "That sounds like a fine idea." She smiles at them mischievously. "And then we can have some playtime of our own. I'll be waiting." With that being said, she saunters off slowly making sure to sway her hips invitingly.

Sasuke blinks as he watches her go. Gods and Goddesses, he loved that woman. Though she could really be an evil tease at times! How the Hell was he supposed to resist that?! How the Hell could any man resist that?!

"I imagine that Aiko and Ami will have a little brother or sister relatively soon." Itachi laughs as he and Sasuke proceed to take the children to the nursery. "She really is asking for it."

That was true. He probably should look up how long it took women to recover form childbirth. It had been eight weeks. Sasuke figured it was still early, but soon enough…they'd be able to reactivate Uchiha Pouncing Mode!

Uchiha Pouncing Mode was something that couldn't be denied for long. "That's accurate." It was unstoppable force!

"I really am grateful to you, Sasuke." Itachi smiles at him as he places one of the princesses in her crib. "I don't deserve any of this and we all know that. You could have easily just kept her for yourself. No one would have blamed you." I wouldn't have blamed you. Those words hung heavily in the air.

Sasuke shakes his head. The thought was sometimes a rather appealing one. He couldn't lie, but the younger Uchiha Brother had grown quite used to their arrangement.

"While that's tempting, it wouldn't have been right." He couldn't make Hinata choose. "She loves you too and I do as well. Just in a COMPLETELY different way."

Itachi chuckles at that as Sasuke lays the other princess down for her nap. His foolish little brother was always incredibly amusing.

The fact that he sulked like a wet cat was well strangely endearing. "I'm glad that you specified." He rolls his eyes. "Though believe me, I know and I love you too. You're my favorite brother."

Sasuke raises an eyebrow at that. "Itachi, I'm your only brother!" Well yes. That was true, but it was the thought that counted.

"Sasuke, stop being difficult." Itachi pokes his forehead. "It's the principle of the thing and you know full well what I meant." His brother may be foolish, but the other man was also incredibly bright.

Sasuke shakes his head and gestures for Itachi to follow him. Which he did. Gladly. After all, he knew where they were going. They were going to Hinata.

He hadn't expected to fall in love with her. It had just happened. Itachi knew that he was incredibly fortunate that Sasuke was willing to share in this way. Most men wouldn't have.

"There you are." Hinata smiles at them in the nightgown that Kurenai had given her so many months ago. "I was wondering where you two had gone."

Then again, most men weren't brothers like them. Their bond was one that was rather unique even amongst family. He would have done the same for Sasuke. Though he doubted most other men would have been able to do the same, even for their brothers.

Oh did he mention how much he loved that outfit on their beautiful wife? He had to give Kurenai this much, the Genjutsu Mistress had exquisite taste when it came to lingerie!

Sasuke smiles as he joins her in bed. "We were just making sure that our Princesses had actually drifted off to sleep before coming to join you." Yes, playtime with their mommy really shouldn't be interpreted unless it was absolutely necessary, Itachi thought to himself.

"He's right about that." He smiles as he lays down on the bed next to Hinata.

As always, she was sleeping in the middle. It seemed the smartest way to go. After all, he didn't really want to cuddle up to Sasuke anymore than his brother wanted to cuddle up to him. That and Hinata seemed to revel in her positioning.

She loved being between the two of them. The bluenettte had remarked on this on more than one occasion.

Hinata laughs softly as she kisses them both. "Mmm. I love you both." Which they happily return. "Now, it's time for us to get some sleep before the twins wake us up."

The princesses were disturbingly cute, but they could also be rather loud. They were also struggling to learn how to sleep straight through the night. Though Itachi knew this was normal behavior for infants, he suspected they might be night owls.

"Good idea." Sasuke yawns as he wraps his arms around her and Itachi does the same. "Goodnight, Hinata. Goodnight, Itachi." Itachi nods in acknowledgement as he turns out the light and they all settle in for the night.

This was his life now. He had a beautiful wife. An adorably foolish little brother and two beautiful nieces. Itachi was truly a lucky man.
