"Twins are often premature," Kisame reminds Sasuke who is pacing back and forth.
"You are making me dizzy." Naruto pouts at his husband. "Stop it."
"What if something's wrong with Deidara?" Sasuke wonders aloud. "What if…"
"Don't even go there." Kisame warns. "Your brother will kill us all, and then himself. And not necessarily in that order."
"I'm worried." Sasuke pauses and looks at the maternity ward with narrowed eyes. "What's going on in there?
"Well," Kisame huffs, "When a man and a woman love each other very much, or in this case, two obnoxiously pretty males…"
"The babies will be pretty," Naruto says with barely disguised jealousy. "What do you think they will be like?"
"I am guessing more of this sharingan mess," Kisame gestures to Sasuke, who is staring into space thoughtfully.
"I love Sasuke." Naruto declares. "If the babies are like him I will love them too."
"You love him, do you?" Kisame teases Naruto who looks adorably confused at what he's just said. "What do you love about him?"
"Nothing," Naruto makes a face. "I don't love him at all."
"Liar," Kisame grins, "I will start. I love that he's a sadder version of Itachi."
"He is not." Naruto knows he's being baited but he can't help it. He just gets mad so easily!
"I love how gay he is now," Kisame continues. "Straight Sasuke is just not fun."
"I don't love Sasuke!" Naruto pouts, blushing furiously. He can't believe he just admitted his love for his husband.
"You don't?" Sasuke frowns. He's pretty worried about his brother and his family but cannot help overhearing what his dumb mate is saying.
"No," Naruto whines pathetically when Sasuke pulls him closer. "I don't!"
"Oh," Sasuke is more upset than he should be.
"Oh god," Naruto knows Sasuke is under demonic possession and needs constant reassurance, "I love you, bastard."
"Say it again." Sasuke orders, kissing a whiskered cheek.
"I love you," Naruto likes it when Sasuke is so close. His scent is so reassuring. All the worry at Deidara's condition melts away into nothingness. "You are pretty and I want you forever."
"Sad," Kisame shakes his head at the couple. Sasuke and Naruto are just so emotionally dependent on each other. Not the mess Fugaku and Mikoto are but still. Speaking of the devils…
"Oh god my baby is having a baby, I can't believe it." Mikoto has not felt this energetic in years. She almost feels happy. She is going to be a grandmother! Life is grand.
"Acceptable," It has taken a while for Fugaku to receive his heir from Itachi but, he will accept it. "Sure took them a while."
"That blond harlot sure took his time." Mikoto grumbles hatefully. She is not fond of Deidara, and conveniently forgets that her own pregnancies were quite a hassle.
"Shut up," Naruto forgets himself around his in-laws and screams at Mikoto, "Don't you dare."
"Excuse me?" Fugaku's eyes could freeze water, but Naruto, who is used to Itachi's glacial gaze does not even blink and snaps at Mikoto.
"Deidara is perfect. Don't insult him. Bitch."
"Sasuke," Fugaku speaks for his mate who is downright mute with rage. "Discipline your mate this instant."
"Yeah, Sasuke," Kisame is delighted and deeply curious as to what young Sasuke will do. Obey the public head of the family, which is expected of the young man by every custom, or get all lovey dovey on them all.
The paycheque is nice but Kisame sticks around for the entertainment.
"Naruto," Sasuke turns to his wife, making sure his expression is suitably stern, "Apologize." His grip is tight on the pretty boy's waist.
"I am sorry you are such a bitch." Naruto tells his mother-in-law. He is clearly not mature enough to be married. Sharingan customs however are centuries old, and have not matched up to the child marriage laws of today's time.
"Sasuke," Mikoto finds her voice and turns to her son, hissing like a slighted feline, "You will not let him speak to me this way? Surely. Strike him."
"Gladly," Sasuke knows his mother means a slap to the face, but he spanks a different cheek and Naruto whimpers as his ass is struck roughly. He's wearing fitted jeans for Deidara's baby shower but his bottom will surely be red. "He has been acting out lately. Needs to learn his place around here."
Kisame bites the inside of his cheek so hard he can feel blood trickle down his throat. He does not care what the elder Uchiha couple thinks, but he does not want to disturb the hush which has fallen over the atmosphere, and needs to watch this play out without his interference.
"He dares disrespect your mother and you let him?" Fugaku's voice booms. "What kind of a man are you? Your brother went and mated with a male submissive. He had an effect on you. The curse has acted accordingly and here you are, with another boy. I was hoping you would end up with a nice young girl."
"Father I assure you he is tighter than any girl I have ever had." Sasuke's tone is extremely business-like. As if discussing important family fortune.
"How dare you?" Fugaku roars, as Kisame cackles, Mikoto and Naruto whimper together. What has become of their Sasuke? Surely he was not always this depraved?
"You think this is a joke?" Fugaku whispers, his tone low and dangerous as Sasuke's eyes narrow in response, Naruto's face buried in his neck, red hot with shame. "I will disinherit you."
"You would let me fuck you if we were poor, right?" Sasuke whispers to Naruto, his tone that of conspiracy. "In sickness and in health? Rich and poor and all that? I can still come inside you?"
"We are leaving," Fugaku announces as Mikoto almost faints with worry. The parents move over to the other side of the room, seriously considering removing Sasuke from their will.
Naruto vows to never speak again, anyone, anywhere. He will never recover from what Sasuke has said.
"I think I love you." Kisame informs Sasuke who shrugs. He lives to make his parents uncomfortable. His parents can disown him and he lives off of Itachi. Or he moves in with Kakashi. And now he gets to leech off of Naruto's rich parents. The possibilities are endless. Pretty spoiled boys like Sasuke never really have to take responsibilities for anything, ever.
"Why are they crying?" Minato wonders aloud at Sasuke's parents who are openly sobbing in the corner. "This is a happy occasion, isn't it?"
Kakashi knows why Sasuke's parents cry. He sighs and pats his godson's head lovingly. "Could have spared them on their grandson's birthday."
"No," Sasuke says simply, clutching Naruto close like a safety blanket.
"He's getting a fever," Kushina announces. Her son's cheeks are beet red.
"Sasuke is a pervert," Naruto mumbles, ashamed.
"What did he say?" Minato frowns.
"Nosey nosey," Kisame wags his finger at Naruto's dad, "Some things are better left unsaid."
"Is this where Itachi's having the baby?" Yahiko enters the waiting area, now filled with concerned friends and family. Konan and Nagato follow, fashionably late as always.
"Oh good," Hidan scoffs, "The retards are here."
"Hidan," Konan resists the urge to stick her tongue out at the thing leaning against the wall. "Leave. Someone must have a restraining order against you here."
"What's wrong with him?" Hidan comments on Naruto, who is whimpering sadly in Sasuke's arms.
"Stay away from Naruto," Sasuke warns. Hidan is scary and says awful things. Naruto does not need that right now.
"Hey," Kushina grabs Naruto from Sasuke, who frowns but relinquishes his hold with hesitation, "What's wrong with my baby? Come to mom."
"I thought I was mom," Kisame says, making several people scoff.
"I have cigars," An Uchiha elder announces, "I am ready for a new prodigy."
"Jesus," Kakashi scratches Sasuke under his chin as if he is one of his dogs, "The kid isn't even born yet and the village cougars are ready to pounce."
"Kids," Sasuke says, "It's twins."
"No," Kakashi's eye widens comically.
"You idiot," Iruka says fondly, handing his husband a latte, or at least trying to because Hidan grabs it in mid air without so much as a thank you or a nod of acknowledgement, "Keep up with this family please."
"They are worse than Kardashians." Kisame says as several brides giggle and ponder over what gender Deidara's babies will be.
"We already know the babies are boys," Naruto is confused at the attitude of fellow Uchiha brides.
"Itachi doesn't want people knowing," Sasuke is pleased at Naruto's inability to fit in with the usual Uchiha bitches. Deidara is the only one Sasuke wants around Naruto's vulnerable mind. The blond is young and impressionable and Uchiha brides are a special breed, obsessed with money [like their husbands] and power.
"They seem mean," Naruto's lower lip trembles.
"Stay away from them," Sasuke warns, "It's a mean girls club."
"What do we have here?" A beautiful girl with long hair approaches Naruto and Sasuke, "Hello, latest wife."
"Back off Izumi," Sasuke rolls his eyes at the girl. She has her own sharingan and for that reason, thinks herself superior to every other bride.
"Oh yes, more drama." Kisame could strap a bag of popcorn to himself if he could.
"When are you getting pregnant?" Izumi smirks at Naruto who clings to Sasuke. "Are you going to make him wait long like that loser Deidara did?"
"Back off bitch." Naruto gets all riled up when people insult Deidara.
"Yes, lets cut someone," Hidan could not care less about Deidara but he could really use a fight to snap himself out of some boredom.
"I would have given Itachi sama a child much sooner," Izumi flicks pretty long over her shoulder.
"Shut up, Izumi," Konan wrinkles her nose at the Uchiha princess.
"It's boys," Shisui runs out and hollers, and then runs back in.
Kakashi makes a bored sound. "What now?"
"Happy hour?" Hidan begs.
"I'm staying," Yahiko says suddenly. He gives Nagato an exasperated look, "You can go honey."
"You can go," Konan nods in agreement when Nagato turns to her next.
"You retard," Hidan huffs at Nagato who rushes along with him and the rest of the group to the gift shop downstairs. "Two wives means twice the permissions."
"Twice the sex," Nagato says sagely and is ignored.
"He's my best friend," Kisame explains when the men turn to him, fully expecting the shark drunk and loitering in the hospital lobby within minutes. "I should be waiting out here."
"Gay," Hidan comments and rushes inside the elevator. Multiple people head for the stairs because said elevator has a twenty people limit.
"So," Iruka laughs nervously, "What's new with everyone?"
"I am thinking of getting a piercing," Yahiko shrugs. "Just one. Nothing much."
"Now that he finally has heirs," Izumi can be heard saying to the rest of the brides who nod and listen with attention, "Itachi sama can finally see what I have to offer, spiritually and sexually."
"That is…" Yahiko gives Konan a tired look. "Something right there."
"Now I need a drink," Kushina cannot with the Uchiha brides. She had heard quite a bit about them but they are something in person. Dressed to perfection, the ladies are young, vapid, glossy lipped and blank eyed. To their credit, they question Izumi's master plan.
"Izumi, the Uchiha bond is permanent, how can Itachi sama want you despite it?" Shisui's wife questions with confusion evident in her eyes.
"I have known him longer than Deidara," Izumi explains.
"So have I," Kisame calls out, much to everyone's amusement, "Doesn't mean he will pick me over his soulmate."
"It's complicated," Izumi rolls her eyes at Kisame, "You wouldn't understand."
"We have time," Iruka says daringly, "You should explain."
"The way Uchiha family mates is a joke," Izumi says to the crowd waiting to hear about the parents and babies, "It should be about love."
"It is about love," Naruto finds his voice, "I love Sasuke." He says loudly and confidently.
"No," Kushina says hopelessly.
"Yes," Naruto declares, ignoring Sasuke's happy smirk, "Sasuke is my boyfriend."
"I thought you got married?" Yahiko did not have a chance to attend the nuptials but he heard Deidara threw quite a party.
"We are working on it." Sasuke explains. Naruto is very young and often calls Sasuke his boyfriend or even worse his bae, whatever the hell that means.
"Don't let your father hear this," Kushina advises her son who is screaming declarations of love. "He was hoping your second husband would be better."
"I will kill Naruto's second husband." Sasuke calmly announces.
"And another thing," Naruto has completely ignored everything said in the background. "All you bitches trying to tear us apart…"
"Please don't use such language," Iruka makes a face, "Children are being born very near us and can learn this."
Naruto ignores this, "Fuck everyone."
"Ugh I love his energy he just says what he's thinking." A strawberry blond haired wife, maybe Ibani's, comments to Sasuke, who nods in appreciation.
"That's it," Kushina grabs Naruto's ear, making him whine, "You are misbehaving so much lately. It's that Uchiha boy you have been spending so much time with."
"Yes," Yahiko makes an appreciative sound, "Spank him, mommy."
A collective silence falls over the room to process this remark.
"I mean," Yahiko panics because things happen in the bedroom okay? So he likes to be spanked by Konan while Nagato watches. Sometimes it comes out in the real world. Freud would understand. "A mother should have a right to discipline her son no matter how married he is."
"Yes," Kushina makes a grateful sound at Yahiko's save, although it has not fooled anyone else. "No ramen for you, until you think about what you have said."
"Sasuke," Naruto turns to his husband who shrugs. He's not going to argue with a redhead. The few months he spent with Karin taught him that.
"Thank you," Iruka says to Kushina, "Kids today are so rude." Especially those being handled by his husband.
"Two sons at once," Shisui has grabbed Itachi in a hug and has not let go in hours. "Well done my child."
"I am not that much younger than you." Itachi reminds Shisui, who is already drunk.
"I always thought it would be us having a kid in there some day," Shisui says mournfully.
"I am not uke," Itachi knows Shisui well but his drinking prowess is still surprising, to this day. He's on his second bottle already.
"Sure look like one though, damn," Shisui has always had romantic feelings for Itachi and has never bothered to hide them despite having his own successful mating with a lovely woman who he proclaims to love beyond words.
"Thank you," Itachi says tonelessly. He knows he is quite feminine looking for a seme, but he is dominant and as long as Deidara knows it he does not really care if anyone else does.
"How about we celebrate?" Shisui gets very handsy when he's drunk and anyone else grabbing Itachi down there would have lost a hand by now but Shisui is quite strong himself and Itachi loves him. There's always that.
"You should go wait with your wife," Itachi grabs Shisui's hand and places it safely away from his nether regions. "Deidara needs me."
"You know," Shisui says just before he exits the inner waiting area, "It wouldn't kill you to loosen up a little bit."
"We don't know that," Itachi deadpans.
"Come on," Shisui pouts and grabs Itachi by the chin, eyeing delicate lips meaningfully, "Let aniki have a taste."
"I will see you outside," Itachi loves Shisui like a brother and said brother has made a life mission out of wanting to fuck him like well, a mate. Itachi does not get the insanity within his own family.
"I always get what I want, Itachi," Shisui's sharingan spins into existence, and Itachi thought he saw the mangekyou for a second there but thinks nothing of it. Deidara needs him.
"My you are patient for a seme," A nurse remarks, "Usually we would need security to hold you back from your uke."
Itachi knows Deidara is under sedation, and his children are safe. It would be pointless to make a threatening display and charge in like a raging bull. He has always been extremely mature for his age. His emotional control is exemplary. Perhaps too advanced because it gets him too much attention from both outside and inside the family. He is powerful but he's still a target of possession for a myriad of reasons.
Physical attractiveness, intelligence, strength, sharingan, demon, Itachi could be taken out for so many things and it is nice to have a stable Sasuke by his side to make sure his mate and children are safe from attacks. Speaking of the devil…
"Hi," Sasuke whispers quietly, "Did you need anything?"
"No," Itachi needs to see Deidara. "How's it going out there?"
"Izumi made a bid for your love and mom thinks you should give her a chance." Sasuke states.
"Huh," Itachi blinks. "They are both, as Hidan would say, delayed."
Sasuke laughs and stops when a nurse glares at him, pressing an index finger to her lips to keep quiet. New mothers are resting after having their children.
"Shisui propositioned me again." Itachi wrinkles his nose. "It was bizarre."
"That's still going on?" Sasuke says, keeping his tone quiet lest an angry nurse kick him out. "Jesus he's been mated longer than you and Deidara."
"I think they have an open relationship," Itachi replies, disturbed. "He likes submissives."
"And you fit that description how?" Sasuke cannot imagine his brother submitting to anyone. "Please explain."
Itachi is not about to correct his brother's hero worship of him so he keeps quiet as his brother carries on whisper indignantly.
"The nerve," Sasuke huffs. "He obviously needs his eyes checked."
"Don't say that to his face," Itachi warns Sasuke. The Uchiha are notoriously sensitive about their vision. And vision loss is a serious problem in the family as well. Itachi lost his day vision a while ago and constantly needs his sharingan activated to function, which is the reason his regular vision is gone in the first place. It's a vicious cycle.
"What would he even do with you?" Sasuke makes a face.
Itachi, wisely, chooses not to relay Shisui's graphic texts and all the drunken messages left on his answering machine. Itachi ignores Shisui because the older male has been there for Itachi during his lonely childhood, and Itachi loves him like a sibling. Obviously the feelings are reciprocated with the same intensity, but in a manner most different.
"I am so jealous," Sasuke admits sadly. "I want children."
"You are a child." Itachi reminds Sasuke.
"You told me to have a kid."
"You are not ready," It would be advantageous for Itachi's children to have cousins their age but Sasuke and Naruto are too young to be reproducing. That much is obvious. Naruto is so innocent and immature. He needs nurturing and attention. Just because he started fornicating early like most teenagers does not mean he is ready to raise a child, an Uchiha child at that.
"So, we should use birth control?" Sasuke asks, surprised.
"It will take you years to get him pregnant."
"Dobe wants a kid." That's understating it. He might just take off with Itachi's kids.
"We will deal with him." Itachi is annoyed with Naruto's general behavior. The disrespectful young blond is crass and refuses to obey even the simplest of demands but it's a refreshing change of pace from usual Uchiha political games. Naruto is so direct. He just says what he wants. To everyone's face! Unheard of in this crowd.
"Hey," Shizune appears, smiling caringly at the brothers, "He's awake. Time to meet your boys, dad."
"Oh god I am an uncle," Sasuke looks ready to faint. Itachi looks as if ready to attend a business meeting.
"What should I say?" Itachi looks perplexed.
"To the mother of your children?" Sasuke looks ready to hit his brother. "Go comfort him. He's alone and scared."
Sasuke is not wrong. Deidara woke up alone and freaked out.
"I thought you left me, un." Deidara says tiredly. "Why weren't you here?"
"Tsunade made me leave after nurse took the boys. Said you needed to rest." Itachi grabs a hand, distressed at how cold it is.
"Are the babies okay?"
"I came to you first," Itachi assumes Sasuke is checking on them. "How are you?"
"It hurts." Deidara admits. "I won't recommend it."
Itachi places a soft kiss on petal lips. "Not even to Naruto?"
"Oh god he will die," Deidara laughs and then regrets it because something deep inside him feels wounded, "He's too young, un. It's better if he holds off, or let me carry their babies."
Itachi cannot help the growl which escapes him, "You can't carry anyone else's children."
"As a surrogate, Itachi sama." Deidara reassures, "I wasn't planning on letting your brother have me."
Itachi knows exactly how painful labor was for his Deidara. No matter how hard Tsunade had tried to kick him out he was right here by his mate's side. Deidara might not remember it because of the drugs, but unfortunately Itachi remembers everything vividly, even some of the physical pain through their bond. "Shisui might try to impregnate me."
"Oh dear," Deidara says, wincing, "Did he hit on you, un."
"He called me pretty."
"You are not," Deidara says soothingly, even though his delirious grey eyes are clearly lying, "You are manly, un."
"We are both mated to other people," Itachi does not care if Deidara finds him pretty. As long as his mate is attracted to him, period. "Shisui's behavior doesn't make sense to me."
"And the rest of the clan's does?" Deidara smiles when Itachi presses kisses to his face. "You will be here? When I wake up?"
"You will never get rid of me." Itachi promises. It had taken Tsunade's monstrous strength to get him away from Deidara in the first place.
"If you left me I would die, un." Deidara says just before he starts to fall asleep again.
"Don't," Itachi says, before settling beside Deidara, careful not to disturb the IV. All male births are hard, but this seemed like a nightmare and Itachi is seriously considering birth control. For him and Sasuke. "Just, stop."
"Sorry," Deidara whispers and closes his eyes, resting his head on Itachi's chest. "Love you."
"I swear lets just take them and leave." Naruto makes a desperate sound at the twin boys resting beside all the other babies born today. "I am begging you, Suke."
Sasuke cannot say much because he is considering doing the same.
"I think I am going to cry," Kisame makes a distressed sound beside the couple, "I feel so fulfilled right now."
"Same," Iruka is actually teary eyed, "And I have nothing to do with these people. Kakashi brought me here and he's downstairs getting drunk."
"I feel happy," Mikoto declares, "I haven't felt this way in forever, dear god."
"Oh, Naru chan," Kushina turns to her son, who is hissing at Sasuke to go get the boys. "I think I want to be a grandmother."
"I wanna go see Deidara," Naruto announces at his mother's comment. If he stands here one more second, he is going to honestly take the new babies. "Please Sasuke."
"He's sleeping." Sasuke tells his mate.
"I need to know if he's okay." Naruto has been reading obsessively about male child birth. That and reading about it has scared him. He does not care what happens to him but he is worried about Deidara. "I wanna see him."
"Dobe," Before Sasuke can say anything else, his mate is wandering down the hall, in the direction of Deidara's private room.
"What do you want," Itachi glares at Naruto who glares back and shuffles over, keeping as quiet as possible. "Get lost."
"He wouldn't listen," Sasuke says defensively.
"I know you can't control him," Itachi says accusingly. If anything, Naruto controls Sasuke.
"Is he okay?" Naruto is terrified that something bad has happened to Deidara.
"I wouldn't let that happen." Tsunade's voice startles Naruto, who yelps.
Deidara's eyes open at the sound, and Itachi's glare intensifies. "Will you please fuck off somewhere?"
"Language," Naruto says in a tone which would make Iruka sensei proud. He grabs Deidara's hand, not noticing the mouth which is completely exposed, "I was scared."
"Why?" Deidara himself doesn't notice the mouths on his hands are uncovered. He's on the good pain medication. "The babies are okay." He relays important information to Naruto. "Did you see them?"
"They are perfect and I want them," Naruto responds, "Are you in pain?"
"Not at the moment, un," Deidara giggles a little. He feels completely happy, if anything.
"I gave him the best stuff." Tsunade shrugs when questioning eyes turn on her, "Males have it harder when they are giving birth. Sue me."
"Don't think I won't," Itachi promises her.
"We have it harder?" Naruto's voice is small.
"Yes, you do," Tsunade won't lie to the kid. "I wouldn't recommend it for someone as young as you."
"Hey," Deidara's hand places a soothing kiss on Naruto's forearm, which is not noticed in distress. "I won't let anything happen to my baby Naruto, un."
"Please go away," Itachi wants his mate resting. "Go look after the children." If Sasuke and Naruto are here, then the boys are out there alone. What if someone takes them? Irrational but Itachi is a new father. He's anxious that his boys might get switched with an inferior set of twins or some baby snatcher might take off with the first twin birth in the Uchiha family in centuries. Sharingan babies are priceless.
"No, don't go," Deidara pouts adorably, "Stay with me, I will take care of you, un."
"Do not leave him here," Itachi's tone is threatening. "Sasuke…"
"I should go look after my nephews," Sasuke shrugs helplessly. His own protective instincts are telling him the kids are alone and he does not want to deal with this right now, so why not escape like a pussy?
"Ugh you people get worse every year," Tsunade makes a tired sound when Sasuke runs past her. "Deidara is doing well. The blood loss was minimal. You should be able to take him home tomorrow morning."
"Why not now?" Itachi does not want to spend the night in an unfamiliar environment.
"I would like to monitor him and the boys." Tsunade says, annoyed, "God forbid I do my job, which isn't even my job but I had to schlep over here because your ass is too important for a regular doctor."
"It is." Itachi says agreeably.
"Is Deidara okay?" Naruto sounds heartbreakingly sad.
"Sweetie," Tsunade's voice is saccharine, "If he wasn't Itachi would have burned the hospital down by now. Is the hospital on fire?"
"No," Naruto pouts at the reasonable question.
"Then Deidara is just fine," Tsunade grumbles at being on her feet all day. She loves her desk job for a reason but the Uchiha family is powerful and it got new heirs today and naturally Tsunade is involved. "Get some sleep, Itachi, do you need anything?"
"My own bed would have been nice," Itachi's tone is icy.
"You are welcome, brat," Tsunade rolls her eyes and storms out the room, her heels clicking obnoxiously.
"She's nice," Deidara's smile is drugged. "I like her hair, un."
"It is nice," Naruto likes Tsunade grandma's hair too, having seen it when accompanied Deidara on a number of his prenatal appointments, "It's not as nice as yours."
"Aww," Deidara coos, "Naruto baby likes my hair best, un."
"Yes," Naruto sits down beside Deidara, "Are you sure you are okay?" He frowns when he feels another kiss on his hand, who is kissing him?
"I am all better," Deidara tries to get closer to both Itachi and Naruto, whining a little when he manages neither. "I feel lonely, un."
"I am here," Itachi is as close as he can get to his mate without disturbing all the lines monitoring his vital signs.
"What the…." Naruto yelps and falls backwards on his ass. "Jesus."
"What's wrong?" Deidara grabs for Naruto who crawls backwards, "Where are you going?"
"I think I…" Naruto laughs nervously when he meets Itachi's furious gaze warning him to keep quiet, "I dropped my phone outside. I'm going to go get it now."
"Okay," Deidara makes a sad sound but instantly forgets Naruto was even here. "Where are we?" He asks, grey eyes struggling to stay open.
"We are at the hospital." Itachi explains patiently.
"Are you okay?" Deidara asks, worried.
"I am fine," Itachi's tone is that of amusement. "Sleep."
"Fine," Deidara says obediently, "Don't leave, please, un."
"There are mouths on Deidara's hands," Naruto says to Sasuke who is keeping guard on his nephews like some kind of sentry.
"And?" Sasuke responds.
"Is that normal?" Naruto feels attacked, "Jesus they looked functional."
Sasuke shrugs, "Itachi loves them."
"Oh," Naruto blinks. "Will the babies have them?"
Sasuke is surprised, "Good question." So far, he has not had a chance to hold the kids, let alone inspect their tiny hands for any kind of bloodline trait. "We will have to see."
"Can we take them all home now?" Naruto leans against Sasuke, "I want to sleep in our bed."
"Did the doctor say we can go?"
"No," Naruto pouts, "Well, we can but Deidara and the babies can't."
"I'm not leaving the children alone." Sasuke huffs, "They will get snatched." Uchiha children always get kidnapped at the hospital. It's basically a tradition. Which does not even make any sense because most of the kids are cursed. The sharingan is priceless enough that the effort is worth it.
"Hey," Naruto bumps Sasuke's shoulder, "Why so sad all of a sudden?" He can sense the melancholy through the bond.
"They will be cursed." Sasuke nods at the peacefully sleeping boys.
"We will find their mates and they can live happily ever after." Naruto is adamant.
"Go lie down somewhere," Sasuke gestures to a pathetic looking sofa in the corner of a waiting room.
"You are going to stand here all night?" Naruto says disbelievingly?
"You want the children getting stolen?"
"I will get you some coffee." Naruto sighs and makes a miserable dash toward the elevator before it closes.
A/N: Please review and let me know how you think this story should end. Thank you.
