"S-Sasuke, I know that we've had a hard time but...this isn't easy for me you know. You left as if I was nothing, that I meant nothing and that hurt a lot...and now you're back in my life and want to get together. It's not like I don't want to...it's just, just that I don't know if I can trust you with my heart again...I-"

"MOM! Wake up!"

Naruto groaned as he rolled over in his bed, slightly opening his vibrant blue eyes to spot two small faces staring at him.

"What's the matter?" He mumbles as he closed his eyes but felt a small hand trying to lift his eye lids. "What?" He questioned. He was beat from work and his emotional problems. Naruto had yet to have that heart to heart with Sasuke. Every time the topic came up he chickened out and ran for the hills.

Naruto knew that the boys wanted them together especially since Thanksgiving was around the corner and then after that Christmas. They kept hinting to it but he wasn't sure if he was ready...yeah he knew that he was fickle but things like this takes time and it has been only more than a month since Sasuke came back. Sasuke was being a wonderful father to the boys and they were attached more than Naruto would have thought possible in such a small amount of time, but it was for the better. They needed him and he needed them.

"Mom, you know that dads going to be here in about..." Yuki trailed off as they heard the doorbell ring.

"Shiiiit..." Naruto hissed under his breath and rolled out of bed.

"Ooo mom you said a bad word!" Natsu said running out the room. "I know, and you better not repeat it!" Naruto shouted after him as he headed down the stairs as well.

The twins already beat him to the front door and opened it to show none other than Sasuke Uchiha.

"Hey dobe, I see you're looking ravishing as ever." Sasuke said smirking, making the kids laugh with him.

"What's so funny?" Naruto said as he walked in the living room to look in the mirror. He cringed when he looked at the sight, he had dried drool on the side of his face. His hair was a tangled mess and his clothes was all twisted which way...god this was so embarrassing. Damn Sasuke for being so punctual, making him slink out his room looking like this.

All thoughts died when he felt strong arms wrap around his waist causing him to jolt and look at his reflection but this time another face was beside his.

Sasuke leaned his chin on Naruto's shoulder and looked at the image of them, together. He missed Naruto but he wasn't going to pressure him anymore. He'll wait for Naruto to come to him and hopefully it'll be soon.

"W-Where are the kids?" Naruto asked blushing when he made eye contact with Sasuke through the mirror.

"Getting their things together, they are spending the weekend with me...right?" Sasuke asked wanting to make sure, he didn't want to fuck anything up. Especially with his kids.

"You're right, I was just wondering..." Naruto said breaking contact. He was soon looking back up when Sasuke's hand in his hair forced him to look again. Letting a soft moan escape his mouth Naruto looked on, in awe at the hungry look that Sasuke had in his eyes.

"Naruto, don't turn away from us. I know that I fucked up big time but all I can do is promise not to do it again. I'll wait for you, for however long it takes for you to come to grips with what we have. When you do, come and find me...I'll be waiting." He said running his fingers through Naruto's hair causing the blonde to purr in response. Sasuke knew that it was a cheap shot by playing in his hair, seeing as though he loved people playing in it. The guy just loved having it messed with and rubbed...he was just like a cat.

"I-I know, just give me time...Sasuke." Naruto whispered not sure if the raven even heard him until he felt the remaining arm around his waist tighten and Sasuke lean more fully on him.

Breathing on Naruto's ear sending shivers down his spine Sasuke whispered the words that almost did Naruto in, "I know my love, I'll be right here waiting for the day I can wake up beside you looking like this." He chuckled when Naruto blushed a deep red and nodded. They pulled apart when they heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"We're ready dad!" Natsu said running in the room with his overnight bag.

Naruto just noticed that they were dressed and ready to leave, did they get themselves washed and dressed all by themselves?

"Hey, did you guys wash up?" Naruto asked looking at Yuki, Natsu was untrustworthy. If he could he'd try to get away with not taking a bath.

"Yes, I made me and Natsu a bath. Then I picked out our clothes because Natsu was trying to wear his dinosaur costume again." Yuki stated looking at his brother with disdain.

"That's amazing Yuki! Good job, I couldn't have done better myself." Naruto said picking Sasuke's look-alike up. "But you didn't have to do all this by yourself, you should have woke me up." Naruto told him.

"But...you've been tired and we can get ourselves dressed. We're not babies you know." Yuki said looking at Naruto with big onyx eye's. "Yea, mom we're not babies!" Natsu called out, "And it wasn't just Yuki who picked out the clothes, I helped too!"

"Oh you did? I sorry Natsu, do you want to tell me what you picked out?" Naruto asked sitting on the couch with Yuki next to him. Natsu walked up and jumped in Naruto's lap.

"Wells, of course I do! Yuki picked out our top clothes but I'm the one who got the under stuff..." Natsu said pouting. "Oh the under clothes is important too, right Yuki, Sasuke?"

They both nodded their head and Sasuke said, "Your underwear and shirts, will protect you from the howling wind outside. If you didn't have that you'd be cold once we went outside."

"I knew it!" He said beaming, Naruto was happy that was settled.

"Hey did you guys eat?" Naruto asked concerned, he hoped that they didn't try to use the stove or anything.

"Nope, Yuki said you'd be mad. So we waited for you to wake up." Natsu said scooting out of Naruto's arms.

"I'll fix something right now." Naruto said getting up but was stopped by Sasuke who grabbed his hand, giving it a light squeeze. "You don't have to do that. My mom is expecting us, so we'll just eat breakfast there. You know you are more than welcome to join us." Sasuke said.

"I don't want to intrude on your time with them but thanks for the offer. Tell your folks I said hi, though." Naruto said stirring them towards the door, it was about time for them to go. His babies needed to eat so they had to leave. "Call your mom and let her know that you are coming with two hungry boys." Naruto said as he pulled Sasuke along with their twins following behind, chatting about some cartoon hero.

Sasuke seized the moment by entwining their finger together. It felt nice to just hold hands, he hasn't done this since high school with Naruto. He missed so many small things that he took for granted.

"Okay guys, do you have everything?" Naruto asked turning to look at his and Sasuke's creations.

What if I'm pregnant again? He thought to himself feeling a small smile curve his lips. He didn't hate the possibility, he loved Natsu and Yuki. If he was pregnant he'd love this child and he was sure that Sasuke would too.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Sasuke said whispering in Naruto's ears.

"Its nothing..."

"Oh is that so?" He said touching Naruto's stomach to get balance but froze when Naruto stiffened, what was going on. He looked up at Naruto's face which was a crimson red, what exactly was he thinking about.

Oh my god, why is he touching my stomach. Does he know that I was thinking about the baby...well if it's a baby in there. Shit, this is nerve racking. Maybe I should just go to the doctors and see if I'm with child or not...but what if I am, what if I'm not? I think I'd be more devastated if I wasn't. God help me, I'm so screwed up.

Sasuke straightened up and smoothed out Naruto's shirt in the process. He wanted to believe that the tension is about the baby...maybe? But didn't want to get his hopes up. He had a saying if you wanted something too bad then it wouldn't come true, so he was trying to stay neutral but it was hard especially with his hand on Naruto's stomach...he wanted him pregnant with his child, he missed out on Yuki and Natsu's birth, he wanted to be there. Rubbing Naruto's stomach, putting on his shoe's when he couldn't see his feet anymore, and go to the store in the middle of the night for a sudden craving. He wanted it all! He knew that he was being selfish but he hoped that Naruto would be happy to if he was indeed pregnant.

"Yo dad!" Natsu yelled causing both parents to jump back to reality.

"Ahh sorry did you say something?" Naruto and Sasuke said at the same time laughing a bit.

"Yea, I said let's go cuz' Yuki get's car sick when he's hungry. He's not hungry yet but we should still go." Natsu said walking up to the door and opening it, "C'mon Yuki."

The adults in the room just looked as the two pint sized people stepped out on the porch. A chilly breeze blew in the house and Naruto looked at his boys to see if they had everything on. Fall jackets on, check. Thin scarves, check. Thin hats, check, overnight bags, check. check, check, check. Okay they were good to go.

Naruto sighed in content when Sasuke walked up to the open door with Naruto hand in hand. Naruto missed that and the intimacy, he missed Sasuke but he didn't want to mess this up. What if something happened and they split up? How would the kids feel? Would it be nastier than this...Sasuke's leaving? He didn't want to make a decision that would make things worse. Maybe he should talk to Itachi again...

"I'll be taking them to school on monday." Sasuke said and Naruto nodded looking up at him with his trusting blue eyes and plump lips, but he noticed the dark circles around them and sighed as he pulled Naruto against him, "And go back to sleep."

Nodding Naruto looked as Sasuke leaned forward and forward. What should he do? In the end he did what he wanted and closed his eyes and met Sasuke half way. He knew that Sasuke wouldn't have went all the way, he wanted him to meet him half way, to show that he wasn't forcing him.

The kiss was sweet and light, nothing too night timish. He smiled up at Sasuke as he pulled away and walked towards his car. "I'll see you guys later." Naruto didn't have to get the car seats out of his car anymore. Sasuke brought his own for his car, and Naruto was fine with that. The kids were with him a lot, bonding and going places.

As the car pulled out of his driveway Naruto touched his lips and smiled. Going back inside he locked up and headed for his room. He was going to do what Sasuke said before he even said it. Crawling into bed Naruto touched his stomach, not knowing was killing him. Maybe he'll go and see his grandmother later on.

...

"Hey baachan." Naruto said nervously, he decided to go and see his grandma later that day after his nap. He kept thinking what if? What if, what...god just suck it up Naruto and be a man, well as manly as you can since you are the female in the relationship...

"What can I do for you Naruto?" Tsunade said not looking at Naruto but the stack of papers on her desk. He didn't want to take up too much of her time, since she had a busy clinic to run.

"Ummm, you see..." He said trying to form words.

"Just spit it out already!" She growled looking up, she already knew why he was here but she liked to see him squirm. The kid had a lot of balls to come barging in on her and then not even knowing what to say.

"I want you to do a pregnancy test on me!" He said in one go. Staring at his now smirking grandma he growled knowing damn well that she knew why he was there.

"I figured as much, but it's about damn time! We were all wondering when you'd actually come in." She told him as she got up from her seat. "Lets go."

...

Monday afternoon~

"Hey Sasuke it's me." Naruto said into the phone receiver. "I was wondering could you pick the kids up after school?"

"Why? What happened?" Sasuke asked concerned, he didn't have a problem with picking the kids up, he was always happy to see them. But this was sudden, Naruto always picked the kids up after school to help them with their homework and give them a home cooked meal for dinner. What could be tying him up?

"Oh, it's nothing to be worried about. I just have to finish this paperwork before tomorrow, have to make sure all our evidence is sound and nothings out-of-place." He said, "But I'll come pick them up at your place?"

"That's fine, I'll even cook dinner." Sasuke said chuckling, he got his own apartment right after the twins birthday last month. He was happy that he has his kids all to himself instead of trying to fight for time with his mother and father. Those old people sure put up a fight for "quality" time with their first grandbabies. Sasuke was happy that they all loved Yuki and Natsu but he wanted them all to himself, just like Naruto.

"Okay, see you later tonight." Naruto said before hanging up. He loved his job but it was a real pain in the ass sometimes.

Hearing a knock he looked up and saw Shikaku standing there, with his tie askew and a cup of Joe in his hand. "Everything's fine in here?" He asked.

"I'm fine Mr. Nara, I'll have everything done and organized by the end of the day." He said wishing for a cup of coffee as well. Shikaku noticed Naruto looking at his coffee and smiled bringing his other one in view.

"Here you go, just the way you like it. Hazelnut, extra cream and extra sugar." He said handing the hot coffee over to the now perky blonde.

"Thanks!" Naruto said beaming.

"You spoil him too much, dad." Shikamaru said behind him with a paper bag filled with food.

"Look who's talking?" Shika's father said laughing looking at the bag of food for none other than Naruto. Shaking his head he headed back to his office.

"Is that for me?" Naruto said eyes big as saucers, he was hungry.

"Yeah, eat this then get back to work." Naruto nodded and grabbed for the bag of greasy burgers and fried, it smelled so good. "Thanks Shika, you and your dad treat me so well."

"Yeah I know, see you later." He said ruffling Naruto's head before leaving.

Naruto didn't waste anytime as he dug into his food and coffee.

Sighing Naruto stretched in his office chair, he was finally done. Looking at the clock on his wall, he groaned, it was almost five. He got up and put his jacket on and grabbed the stack of papers off his desk, he was going to give the files to Shikaku before leaving so that he could skim through everything.

Knocking on his heads door he waited until he heard a gruff come in. "Oh Naruto are you finished?"

"Yes sir, and I wanted to give it to you now so that you can flipped through it to make sure everything is in order." Naruto said walking towards the desk.

"I will, thanks for staying behind and finishing this up." Shikaku said as he leafed through some of the files nodding his head. "See you tom-" Shikaku was cut off.

"Naruto, we have to get out of here!" Shikamaru said looking frantic as he stood in the doorway.

"What's wrong Shika?" Naruto asked trying to calm himself but it wasn't working. He was scared, it took a lot for Shikamaru to act like this.

"Let's go, I'll explain on the way." Naruto nodded and said his goodbyes and dashed for the exit with Shikamaru leading the way.

"What happened?" Naruto asked again as they peeled out of the parking lot and got on the main road.

"Temari called me." Shikamaru said.

"And?" Naruto asked losing patience quick.

"They were all at the park, Temari and Shina. Sasuke, Yuki and Natsu. The kids were playing and then they looked up and Shina was walking towards them crying. She said that someone took Natsu and Yuki, so she followed them and they told her to tell the adults before the person took off with them." Shikamaru told him as he sped up. "Kankuro is there combing for evidence but they haven't found them yet..."

Naruto couldn't believe what he just heard. He couldn't contemplate why someone would take his boys? Oh god, why? Was it some sick pervert? Who could it be, Naruto thought. They had to be safe, he taught them not to go off with strangers and to yell when they needed help. They even knew some move's to fight off an attacker. Shikaku taught them himself, he didn't want them to be victims like the case's they worked on. Fuck, they needed to get there quick. He needed to be there.

"Why didn't Sasuke call me?" Naruto whispered but Shikamaru heard him.

"I don't know, maybe he thought that they would be back before you get finished with your work." Shikamaru said.

"That's not good enough, fuck Shika...what if something happened to them. Shouldn't I have felt something, known that something was wrong?" Naruto asked tears rolling down his face. "I should have felt something!"

"How could you have!? This person obviously knew when to strike!" He said gripping the wheel, he hated seeing Naruto like this.

"What do you mean?" Naruto said he was still in shock, his motor skills were working beyond slow at the moment.

"I'm thinking that it's the person that's been calling you. They know your routine, and they've followed you around", He rushed on before Naruto could talk. "I'm sure they've been following you around, Naruto. If they drove by your house then they're bound to follow you around."

Naruto sat quiet and thought everything through, he needed to be there and process everything himself.

They pulled up to the park and Naruto's gaze hardened when he watched all the cops milling around, twiddling their thumbs. What the fuck were they doing to try and find his boys?

"Calm do-" Shikamaru started but groaned as the small blonde jumped out of his car and ran towards Sasuke and Temari.

"Why didn't you call me!?" He demanded right away when he reached Sasuke. The raven looked guilty, he couldn't blame Naruto for being angry. He fucked up again, when he promised a couple of days ago that he wouldn't.

"I honestly thought that they'd be found by now." He said reaching out to Naruto.

"Well I guess you thought wrong!" Naruto yelled stepping out of his reach. He walked over to an offer and stated who he was and got the little information that they had. They said that whoever took them had planned it. Naruto felt his eyes start to water...his babies were gone for almost two hours now, where were they?

"Naruto..." He heard Sasuke say as he approached him. "I'm sor-" He was cut off as he felt his face stinging from the smack that Naruto just dealt him.

"Shut up!" He said crying full on now, he was trembling, "My babies..." Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shirt and glared up at him. "Fuck, why? Why? Why my kids?"

He pleaded looking at Sasuke to do something, anything. Sasuke took Naruto into his arms and felt him trembling. He let a sob escape him and buried his face in Naruto's hair he was such a screw up, he couldn't even watch his children. He wasn't cut out for anything but to cause Naruto heartache.

"Naruto, it'll be fine. We'll find them, okay? I already called my parents and yours, and Haku knows as well. He said that he's looking with his boyfriend Zabuza and his gang members from the seven ninja swordsmen. We are about to leave too and look again." Sasuke said rubbing Naruto's back in soothing circles.

"We'll find them right?" Naruto asked looking at Sasuke.

Sasuke's gaze hardened and he nodded his head, "Of course. They'll probably come back on their own, they're our kids after all."

Naruto gave a small smile nodding his head, he pulled back and started walking to the edge of the tree line that the offer said that their footprints lead into. Sasuke was right next to him and he felt guilty for his dramatics when he knew that Sasuke had to be beating himself up over this.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? You don't have to apologize for anything. I should be the one. I'm irresponsible and let this happen, you didn't. You have every right to be mad." Sasuke said as he looked at Naruto. "It's something that I have to make up for once the kids come back."

"Heyyyy!" Someone shouted as everyone turned around to look at who was shouting. Naruto's broke down in a fresh batch of tears as he watched Haku jump out of a huge van with Natsu and Yuki in his arms. He couldn't believe that he found them, well he could be...it was a miracle, truly a miracle.

Naruto beat everyone over to the twins and yanked them into his arms. "Oh thank god that you guys are alright." He was so happy that he didn't hear the cries of pain until Haku smacked him, hard.

"Naruto let go!" Haku yelled at a dazed Naruto.

"What?Why?" He asked looking around. "They're injured, Yuki more so than Natsu. From what they told me Yuki protect Natsu and fought back the most." Haku said, showing Naruto the cut's and bruises. He pulled back immediately and looked at the boys, this time looking for injuries. Yuki was more beat up than Natsu, he was holding his arm and when Naruto went to touch it he pulled back suddenly making a pained sound. His arm was broken, he had a gash on his head. A busted lip and that's what he could see on the outside, what laid underneath was still a mystery.

Pulling the tattered sweater up, he saw bruises all over his little torso. Naruto shocked held back a cry and looked at Yuki who didn't utter as word as he looked at Naruto.

Naruto touched his bloodied face and cried, who would do something like this to a child?

Putting himself back together he looked at Natsu who was being examined by Sasuke. His little body was bruised but not to the extent of Yuki's. Thank god that they were alive, but he wasn't sure about their mental health. This had to have been traumatizing for them.

"Haku do you know who did this?" Naruto gritted out as he waved the medics over to take a look at the twins.

"No, they aren't talking. But they will be..." Haku said as his eyes clouded with rage, he helped take care of the boys and he saw them as blood. The person behind this will pay. Pay with their life.

"I'll leave it to you but I'll be by later to question them myself." he said coldly, he wanted a piece of the action.

"No you won't." A voice said in back of Naruto. He flinched when a strong had squeezed his shoulder. "You're in no condition to be doing something reckless, no less you're already stressed. It's not good for the ba-"

Naruto cover his grandpa's mouth with his hands but it was too late. Everyone heard, even the kids who seemed to snap out of their dark memories and look at him with huge eyes.

"Oh, I take it that you didn't tell anyone the wonderful news. Well second, to the boys returning that is." Tsunade said as she went to look the boys over herself. She clenched her fists as she looked her grandbabies over. She could kill at that moment, fucking cowardly bastards.

"Nana, what are you talking about?" Natsu asked.

"What's the second wonderful news?" Yuki asked in a hoarse voice causing everyone's blood to boil. Only endless screaming would get you a voice like that.

"Well, why don't you two ask your mama." Tsunade said smiling when their eyes shined, he sighed a sigh of relief maybe they weren't going to be too bad off now. But they still needed to be checked out by a psychologist.

"Mom?" They asked in unison and laughed a little.

Naruto had to smile and he started to cry again, he couldn't keep living in the past and thinking about the future. All he could do was live in the present, the here and now.

Smiling he lifted his trembling hands to his stomach and rubbed it, "I'm pregnant!"
