Chapter Two

It's been a month since Sasuke left Naruto alone in the hotel room. One month of painful memories. Now, every time he saw Sakura, he felt a bit of jealousy. He knew she was whom Sasuke would end up with. He knew she would give him the family he deserved. But it didn't make things easier.

Naruto was at Ichiraku with Iruka but for some reason, the ramen wasn't tasting right.

"Are you alright, Naruto? You look like you're going to throw up." Iruka was concerned over his favorite student. Naruto wasn't acting like himself and now he wasn't eating. "Maybe you should go to the hospital and get checked out."

"I'm fine. Just a little stomachache. It'll pass." Naruto said pushing around his cold ramen.

"How long have you had this stomachache, Naruto."

Naruto shrugged. "I don't know. About a week or two now."

"Go see Sakura and the hospital. Maybe you ate some bad ramen."

Naruto pushed away from the bar. "Yeah. I guess so. Thanks for lunch Iruka-Sensei. Sorry I didn't eat much."

Naruto walked over to the hospital. Before walking in he saw Hinata and Neji talking. She waved Naruto to come over.

"Naruto-Kun. How are you?"

"I'm fine, I guess. Iruka-Sensei thinks I may have eaten some bad ramen so I'm getting checked out."

"Get well soon then. Neji-nii-San just came out. Small injury from his last mission."

"Hinata-Sama, you don't need to tell everyone our business." Neji snapped.

"It's fine. Glad you're doing better. I better get inside."

"Bye." Hinata said before he walked through the hospital doors. He looked around for Sakura. When he found her, he told her his situation.

"Knowing you, you probably did. Come, sit on the bed and I'll exam you. Remove you jacket and shirt too please."

Naruto did as he was asked before laying down.

Sakura's hands turned green as she slowly worked her way from his chest down. He knew she knew he had the nine-tailed fox inside him, so he wasn't worried. What did worry him was the shocked look on her face when she was over his bellybutton.

"Sakura, what is it?"

"I need to find Lady Tsunade." She said before running out of the room.

What did Sakura just find that made her look terrified and had to get Granny? Maybe it was so bad she wanted someone else to deliver the bad news. Now Naruto was sitting up hold his stomach worried he had something seriously wrong with him.

A few long minutes later, Sakura and Tsunade walked in.

"Lay down." Tsunade barked. Naruto did as he was told. Her hands lit up in green color too before she rested over his stomach again. "Impossible." She whispered.

"What's going on, Granny? Did I have bad ramen or not."

She looked over at Sakura. "Leave and tell no one what you saw." Sakura bowed before exiting. Once Tsunade knew they were along she looked over at Naruto.

"Naruto, Kyuubi seems to have played a very evil trick on you."

"What do you mean?" He was getting scared.

"It would seem that Kyuubi has given you fully operational female parts. From what I just witnessed, you're about a month pregnant."

Naruto starred at her before laughing. "Hahah! Come on, I'm a guy."

"Naruto think about it. Have you suddenly lost interest in your favorite foods? Are you always tired? Are you experiencing mood swings?"

Naruto looked at her. He was feeling tired but he thought it was because he was depressed about Sasuke. Ramen was even tasting different. There was no way was he pregnant. That would mean it was…Sasuke's baby! He was carrying Sasuke's heir. The next Uchiha.

He was happy and scared at the same time. Happy because he was able to give Sasuke what he's always wanted but scared of what everyone would say. He was the village freak before but then the war happened and now everyone loved him. Would they ostracize him again because he was able to carry a child?

"Naruto, I know you must have a hundred questions running through your mind. My first one is, who's the father?"

"Sasuke." He answered without realizing it.

"I see. If you want, I can ask Kakashi to have him return immediately so he can be around."

"No. He needs to find himself again. Even though he'll be happy with the news, I don't know how he'll take it. He may not return to me after all."

Tsunade looked him over again. "I want to run more tests. Make sure the sac is not going to cause problems and then we'll have to make weekly appointments so I can monitor it's progress."

Naruto nodded as he made himself comfortable on the bed again.

Tsunade took longer this time to examine him. She would press on one side then the other. When she finished Naruto thought her expression was more than just concern.

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

She sighed. "It would seem you're pregnant with twins. I don't know the sex yet, it's too son, but you are definitely carrying two children."

The news hits Naruto harder than before. Two? He's having two of Sasuke's children? But did he want Sasuke to know yet? He should. He has a right to know he's going to be a father.

"Now do you want me to have him come back?"

Naruto glanced up at her. He was still weighing in the pros and cons. The pros were winning. "Yes. They are his kids. He needs to know."
