Chapter 50

Almost immediately after his wife called out to him, Neji leapt down from the tree where he had been observing Michelle's movements. 'Chelle suffered another contraction and doubled over. "Are you okay?" he asked her urgently. He then wrinkled his brow "How did you know I was here." "Well." She said as the contraction subsided "I'm having contractions that are about the same as when I get cramps for my period…other than that fine…and I recognized your chakra pattern…you always follow me." She gasped and doubled over as another contraction hit her, her black hair cascading over her face. "Now, as I said if you don't want this baby born out here." She gasped. "GET ME HOME NOW!"

Wisely, Neji picked her up bridal style and raced through the trees back to Konoha.

Michelle was lying on her bed, clutching her stomach when Sakura was finally retrieved from the hospital. "Sakura…I don't know…. I mean you're the expert not me but something feels wrong." She had tears in her eyes and she doubled over as another, stronger contraction wracked her body.

"Well before we jump to conclusions…let me do this…" Sakura closed her eyes and gently placed her hands on Michelle's stomach. "What…are you doing?" asked Michelle uncertainly. Sakura took a calming breath before speaking. "I put my chakra into my hands and I get an image of the baby in my head." As the contraction subsided Michelle nodded in understanding.

"So sort of like an ultrasound." Neji looked at his wife, confused. "What's an ultrasound Chelle?" "Something from the other world…it projects an image of the baby for people to see."

"That's actually what Tsunade based this jutsu on." Said Sakura quietly, in a grim voice.

It was her particular tone of voice that drew Michelle's attention. "Sakura… what's wrong…what's wrong with our baby." Neji took her hand and held it tightly.

"How much do you know about what can go wrong in pregnancy." Michelle gasped and her eyes welled up with tears. Neji bowed his head and kissed his wife's hand and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. "Michelle?" pushed Sakura gently.

Michelle took a deep breath and fought for composure. "I…watched documentaries about it in the other world…and I took a couple courses out of fascination…what's wrong with our baby?"

Sakura made eye contact with Michelle and Neji each.

"In the uterus, the baby's umbilical chord has wrapped around his neck. If.." she was cut off by a loud gasp and a sob from Michelle, half from pain and half from panic. Neji leaned down and wrapped his arms around Chelle's neck, holding her tightly and comfortingly."

Sakura continued cautiously. "If I allow this labor to continue as it is right now the chord will tighten around his neck and it will…" Neji straightened from where he was leaning over Michelle and raised a hand. "Please don't say it. We know. What can be done, how can it be stopped?"

Sakura turned away from the sight of Michelle's tears and considered the possibilities. There was the new procedure that she was just learning about from the other realm…she was about to say something when Michelle spoke up, her voice choked with tears.

"Sakura what do you know, if anything about a Caesarian Section." Sakura inhaled gently and turned around to look intently at the mother. "I was just considering it…it's a procedure that Tsunade brought into this world but was only supposed to be used by a skilled medic because of the high risk. I myself only just learned how to perform one." Turning to Neji she explained. "A Caesarian section or a C-section involves cutting open the mothers abdomen and uterus and removing the baby to stop complications from occurring. I'd be able to save the child." Neji breathed in and exchanged a look with his wife. "Neji it's the only way." She whispered. He nodded and turned back to Sakura. "Do it."

Sakura nodded. "Please run to the hospital and get me an assistant. Just say the words Sakura and C-Section and that should get you what you need." Neji kissed his wife. "I'll be back soon Michelle-Koi."

While he was gone, Sakura worked to prepare the room. First she went downstairs and did the traditional boiling of the water to sterilize her tools. Next, she came back up and hunt a curtain suspended over half the bed so that her belly was hidden from Michelle's view. "Michelle just so you know, when the C-section happens, you will be under the influence of a sleeping jutsu so you needn't worry about pain." When Neji got back with the assistant Sakura waited until he was holding his wife's hand and kneeling next to the bed, right next to her head before putting her under the jutsu.

Within a minute Michelle was fast asleep and with that Sakura began. Taking her sterile equipment she began the process.

Within a few minutes it was over. From his position next to Michelle, Neji could hear a strong cry and the accompanying sounds as Sakura cleaned and examined the baby. Before long, she brought their new child across. "It's a boy." She said smiling as she handed the swaddled baby to Neji before going back to heal Michelle's stomach.

Neji kissed his unconscious wife and looked, smiling, at his new son. "Hyuuga Yoichi." He whispered, saying the name that the pair had decided on if it was a boy. "Judging by that crying, I'd say that there's no residual damage from the umbilical chord." Said Sakura with a bit if a smile on her face.

Slowly Neji watched his wife awaken as the jutsu was removed. "Yoichi…" he said softly. "Meet your mother. Chelle…here's our son."

Michelle smiled, still somewhat dazed as she looked at their child. "It's a boy…" she mumbled. They had decided that their first would be a Hyuuga, second Uchiha and then they would go from there.

Hyuuga Yoichi had a tuft of dark brown –almost black- hair, a pale complexion and, when he opened his eyes, they were a sort of grayish-not a light color like Neji's but neither were they the dark shade of Michelle's and pupil less. This left them kind of clueless about whose bloodline trait Yoichi had inherited and therefore they would have to wait until he grew up and was able to activate the trait.

Later, Michelle happened to look at her stomach. "Not bad." Michelle commented. "I doubt there will even be a scar... Sakura knows her work well." Neji lay the baby in the crib for his nap and wrapped his arms around Michelle from her back. "Even if it hadn't healed up good…it's evidence that you're a mother…you're his mother." Michelle leaned her head back against Neji's chest and looked into Neji's violet eyes. He leaned down and pecked her on the mouth. "I love you Neji." She whispered.

The week after the birth the two of them had a party to show Yoichi off to their friends. The party turned into a giant type of reunion where every got together and just celebrated life.

Six years ago three 18-year-old girls lived on the other side of the mirror. Their lives had changed and distorted beyond all recognition.

Mika was the wife of the Kazekage, mother of a 4-year-old daughter and an 8-month-old son and the highest-ranking woman in Suna. Her parents lived in Suna with her and doted on her daughter.

Seyann, similarly was the mother of a 4 year old daughter, one who was best friends with Mika's daughter and the mother of a month old son as well as the highest ranking woman in Konoha. Her mother had accepted the offer to come into Naruto's world and now lived in Konoha next door to her daughter. Seyann's brother and sister had, however, chosen to stay in the other world but she maintained regular contact with them.

Michelle was the mother of a week old son and the loving devoted wife of a loving devoted husband. She still thought about her parents every day. But she had gotten back what she had lost…she had a family now.

As Gaara tried to kill the hermit Sannin for the umpteenth time for hitting on his wife (you'd think the guy would learn) , Mika smiled and cradled her little son.

6 years and 9 months ago for her, reality had blurred.

However, when their reality had blurred, their true lives had begun.
