Naruto awoke suddenly, to kicking in his lower back. Which in the end had him having to barf, badly; Making him rush out of bed and into his adjoining bathroom. He went straight to the shining porcelain thorn that he's been acquainted with a lot lately. As he let the food from dinner come gushing out of his mouth, he felt a warm presence behind him. He felt, more than saw Sasuke bend down beside him and began to push his hair from out of his face and run his hand soothingly up and down his aching back. The one thing that he realized he would have missed when he was pregnant with the twins would be this, Sasuke by his side. He always put on a brave front, saying that he didn't need the raven. That he could do this alone and did for the most part, but right now his presence meant a lot to him. Plus the way Sasuke treated him, as if he was the most delicate and bravest person in the world for going through all of this for him even though he could be a bastard at times, but he was his bastard. So he'd go through anything for his teme and family. He did appreciate his patience when he knew that he was being difficult….pretty much just being a bitch, but at times he couldn't help being snappy. But for some reason Sasuke just put up with it all without really saying anything…well he knew why he was putting up with everything but it still made Naruto fall in love with him all over again.

As the last little bit of nastiness came up, he felt exhausted and just wanted to hibernate until little Uchiha/Uzumaki Jr decided to pop out. He didn't think that he was ever this ill and achy with the twins. He would have thought that it would have been worse with two but this little sucker was proving him wrong at every turn. Groaning he laid his head against the cool, now closed toilet seat. Basking in the little bit of peace he had but he cursed when he realized he spoke to soon as a swift kick to the inside of his stomach had him clutching his extended belly. This kid just better be a damn soccer player, tap dancer or something that uses their feet and legs for a career because all this foot action better stand for something. But the little bugger calmed down once a warm hand started to caress where he was being abused at internally. Well the little Uchiha monster residing inside him wasn't the only one who was being comforted by the caring touch of the man he loved.

Naruto couldn't help it, he was already sleep deprived so he wasn't too surprised when his eyes started to drift closed. He was soon feeling himself getting pulled towards that good ol' dreamland he's been craving for days now; but was brought back when he was jolted up into strong arms that paused in mid step to kiss him on the forehead.

"I love you Naruto, you don't know how much you and the twins mean to me." Sasuke whispered as he began walking again, "And our new addition."

Naruto just smiled, too drained to say anything. This time he slept well into the morning, stirring only when the sunlight filtered through the bedroom windows. It was a Saturday and he had no worries, the twins went over to Shika's yesterday for a sleepover party with Shiina and a few other kids from school. The boys were so excited because they got to pick out their own pajamas and sleeping bags when they went shopping earlier this week. Normally they would all pile into one bed or something but this time was different, they got to stay downstairs and build forts, sleep in tents, make smore's over a fake campfire and wolf down loads of junk food to keep Shikamaru and Temari on their toes all night. Rolling over he noticed that Sasuke wasn't in bed but quickly noticed the note lying against the side table lamp. He snatched it up and read what was on it frowning, what the hell he thought pouting. Sasuke was called into work for an urgent meeting….that's all it said. Bastard.

Sighing Naruto laid back in bed, "So much for some alone time…." He wondered what he should do today. He really was looking forward to spending some alone time with Sasuke. Since he's been basically on house arrest he would have thought that he would be seeing Sasuke a lot more but it's been the opposite. Yeah he was there to rub his back at night but that's about it and he didn't like that…he's been exceptionally horny, with no one to douse out that fire.

Turning on his side he thought. There wasn't much to do since he was on paid leave he basically did nothing on most days but he did visit his parents this week and that was more than enough for him. His mother could be a real pain when it came to the baby. How he was under too much stress and that it wasn't good for the baby. He knew that but he couldn't help but worry, for the baby, the twins and Sasuke. He didn't know what tomorrow held, the future and he had nothing but time on his hands, so his brain wandered. And he thought about…everything. Shaking his head he forced himself to think about something else. He would have went to see some friends but…Shika was busy with the kids and he wasn't sure he was up to dealing with about ten kids, so… scratch that off the list. Haku and Zabuza was on some romantic getaway, making all kinds of havoc for the natives. He could go see Choji and Ino but he wasn't that comfortable around them by himself, plus they never had that get together they were planning. So he wasn't in contact with anyone else. He did want to see Kiba again, they were as thick as thieves at one point but they lost touch when he was pregnant with the twins and Kiba went off to college on a Football scholarship as a running back. The school was pretty far and he barely came home during breaks. Maybe he'll have Shikamaru or Shikaku look into what happened to Kiba.

"What are we going to do today little man?" Naruto asked rubbing his stomach, smiling when he felt a light kick…or punch.

I'll probably just do some house cleaning, a bit of laundry and finish putting up everything in the boys respective rooms….all three of them.

Getting up from the bed he debated on whether he should take a shower now or wait? Opting to wait, because once he finished everything he'd be sweaty and he was sure that he wouldn't want to take another shower. He normally loved showers but now he feared that he'd end up falling and hurting the baby and that was something he wanted to avoid all together. Sighing he went over to his over flowing laundry bin and started to drag the basket out of the room. Once he got to the top of the stairs he just let the clothing with the basket go tumbling down the steps, because really, if he tried to carry or drag that thing down the steps with him he'd be the one laid out on the floor down there, not just the clothes. Hearing footsteps running towards the stairs, he made an oh no expression as Juugo came into view.

Looking down at the big guy he felt stupid, he should have realized that they would have thought that it would have been him tumbling down the stairs…not a load of laundry, "I am so sorry Juugo…"

"It is fine…but if you needed assistance you should have called for one of us." Juugo said as he righted the basket and put the clothes that fell out into it again. He looked back up at Naruto before asking if he needed some help. The blonde nodded and headed back to his room to grab the rest of his clothes and handed them to Juugo. The twins needed their stuff washed too, and then he thought about Sasuke's pile of crap and shook his head. The teme could wash his own shit. He had like a million kajillion clothes as it is…but maybe he should be nice and wash them….? Nah, sighing he gave in. He told himself he should just wash the clothes and get it over with. He could mix Sasuke's stuff with his, no biggie. So he went back to get the temes stuff and handed it to Juugo, who put it with the rest of their dirty clothes. Now the problem would be all the walking back and forth he would be doing once he went down the stairs but he didn't have to worry about that as he descended the stairs the clothes were already gone. Having nothing to do but clean up and wash the clothes, he decided to put on some jams to make the task go quicker then went to work.

…

"Are you kidding me right now?" Sasuke growled out as he looked at his father and brother. He couldn't believe the bullshit he was listening to. He just came back and he was already dealing with a ton of bullshit, like where did his father find these people? But he couldn't comprehend why they were even having this discussion when he…fuck, even they knew for a fact that they wouldn't be handing anything over to that greedy bastard they used to call family.

"I am not….but we have to consider that his threats are legit." Fugaku drawled as he took another sip from his steaming coffee. He knew that Sasuke would be angry but he needed to know what was going on, "If this gets out of hand I want you to know what and who the cause is behind it. He seems to be serious, saying that he was the brains behind the new software that we are about to put out…amongst others. We all know that he was long gone but he insist that one of our people stole his life's work."

"How can he claim that when he doesn't even know how to use a computer properly? When I was last here he thought that he was too good for such trivial things and had others do his work for him." Sasuke spat out leaning back in his chair. He wanted to be at home with Naruto, not here on his weekend off but it seemed as if a crazy was on the loose. He ran his fingers through his hair; he couldn't believe this shit was happening again. If it wasn't one thing it was another, they couldn't seem to get a break.

"I agree he used people to do his bidding, that's why he was let go in the first place. He was all for self, he even started doing illegal experiments with that head case Orochimaru we had to let go. The only reason we found out that they were working together is because Orochimaru felt that he was wronged someway by him. I don't know what he did to cause a rift with the snake but that's not our problem at the moment…." Itachi stated as he looked at his father, then to Sasuke.

"It isn't, the problem is that he wants revenge for something he didn't create. Let alone know about it...but for one thing we can't let him get his hands on any of it…especially project Susanoo." Fugaku stated.

"We have to stop him." Itachi and Sasuke stated at the same time looking each other in the eyes. They had too much to lose if they let him do as he pleased.

"Danzo, that it." Sasuke hissed as he balled his fists.

…

"How about Daiki?" Naruto asked no one in particular since he was at home by himself…well he had guards but they barely talked to him, so he might as well be alone. He liked that name but something was missing, "Maybe…Jun, that's a cute name. Very unisex, nice for a girl or a boy." This was harder than naming Yuki and Natsu he thought. The names just…kind of came to him. But now, he was coming up blank and that was pissing him off.

"Okay…Makoto? It means truth or sincerity, a nice strong name." Naruto mused as he thought about it, "Oh snaps this is my song," He said as he started to sing along to the song in the living room, "I'll be back hitori kiri tachisukun da juujiro, your beautiful kimi wa kitto daijoubu…."

"His voice is so freaking adorable!" Naruto gushed as he got up from the couch heading towards the laundry room. He was happy that the machines let him know when a load was done, by playing a little melody.

"Thank goodness this is the last one…" He should be paid for doing housework, this shit isn't easy and he still had to go grocery shopping. At least he didn't have to drive there, he was still getting used to Juugo and the crew but he came to terms with it. His main two bodyguards were Juugo and Suigetsu who was total opposites from one another. Finish folding the white clothes, he watched as the big wall of a man take the basket from him and started walking towards the stairs.

"Thanks Juugo…" He said as he climbed the stairs behind him. Juugo barely talked and when he did it was mainly to Sasuke or the boys, which he thought was rude but he did at least get a whole sentence from him earlier, which was a shock in and of itself. Being here all day long with no one to talk to was depressing and driving him crazy. He thought that with them being around he would have some entertainment but no! Well…Suigetsu talked…but he was a different story and Naruto tried not to be along with him for too long, might rot his brain. The guy was weird and Natsu seemed to have taken a liking towards him, which he wasn't sure he liked. Of course he wouldn't do anything to Natsu, it was just he was a bad influence. He knew that sounded wrong coming from him but it was true.

"You are welcome." Naruto sighed that's all the guy ever said to him most of the time, shaking his head he pushed on, "Juugo after I get changed and everything I would like to go to the market." Stopping at his room door he motioned for Juugo to leave the laundry at the foot of the bed.

"I will let the others know and Sasuke." Watching Juugo head back downstairs he shook his head again, when did he become so important…wait it wasn't him, it was Sasuke. It must be tough being an Uchiha; his poor children were going to have a time on their hands if they went into the family business….or just being in this family in general it seemed. Sorry.

Finally washed and smelling good Naruto looked for some clothes to wear. It was the beginning of April, he was six months pregnant and it showed. It was nice out so he decided to go with some maroon slacks, a cotton white t-shirt that he ended up covering with a thin black hoodie, leaving a little white showing at the neck and bottom. Grabbing his trench coat he headed for the door after putting on some amazingly comfy black ankle boots, his keys and bag was downstairs. He wondered what he was going to make for dinner for Sasuke, he was saying that he had taste for pasta the other day. What kind? He didn't say, it could be spaghetti, ravioli…anything really but he did have a taste for tomatoes, damn Uchiha was rubbing off on him. Naruto pondered and ended up leaning more towards spaghetti with some garlic bread and a salad. Probably the spinach/kale type, the dark green leaves. The question was should he make meat balls or do the sausage thing…cooking could be so much work if you didn't know what you wanted to do or make, a real headache.

Downstairs he watched as Juugo came forward, "Sasuke said that he should be home about the time we should be returning from the store." Naruto nodded and grabbed his stuff to head out. As always there were guards inspecting the car to make sure it was risk free, he came to appreciate what they did because he didn't want his babies to get hurt or worse. He always tried to say thanks or something but they always waved him off, so he learned to do the Sasuke and just nodded his head or hn-ed.

Once they got to the giant store that sold everything imaginable he took up a cart and went to work buying food and toiletries. Getting done with the non-editable stuff like laundry detergent and paper towels he preceded towards the can good aisle, the boys loved ravioli…when he allowed them to eat it. He couldn't understand the appeal of it anymore. When he was younger that stuff was the shit but now it seemed like a D rated version of it, all watered down with a lack of taste. That's why he only brought a couple of cans, he didn't like seeing them eat that junk but tastykakes and chips, now they were fine in his book as long as they balanced it out with fruit and vegetables. Always in moderation he liked to say. As he turned his cart into the next aisle that housed the drinks he startled as someone crashed into his shopping cart. Looking up as he heard the man saying 'sorry' he shook his head, "It's okay." But as he tried to go around the older man he was stopped with a hand on his arm.

"It's not okay, Naruto." Naruto looked at the guy, really looked at him. The guy had on a hood that covered the right side of his face and it looked like he had a scar on his chin. He looked battered as if he lived a long hard life, but he was pulled out of his thoughts when Juugo started to walk quickly towards them. The old guy seeing this let go of him and walked briskly down the freezer aisle, he thought about chasing him down or tripping the guy up but he didn't want to put his baby in jeopardy for something that might not mean anything…but he knew that it had to mean something since the guy knew his name and that's what disturb him the most. Dammit it happened so fast that he really didn't have enough time to do much but get a good look at the guy…he hoped that was enough. Not feeling quite well anymore, he told Juugo that he wanted to go and the big man agreed. Naruto watched him take his phone out to tell Sasuke what just happened.

Naruto sighed to himself as he got to the car but was soon whirled in another direction and into a different car. This morning was nice, quiet, no action whatsoever but now he was worried. What kind of mess was he in now? And the stress of not knowing was causing his stomach to knot up. Trying to calm himself down he rubbed small circles on his stomach, as the car started he thought about the guy that stopped him. The man's eyes were hate filled and angry as if he would do anything in order to achieve whatever he was after…which wasn't good for Naruto or his family. He hated this because the boys just started getting back to their normal selves or as normal as they can be after the ordeal they went through and acting like the children they are. He didn't want them to know about this or be involved at all. He didn't want to pull them out of school and shake up their lives any further but if he had to, he would before he was blindsided. Luckily this time he at least knew that something is up and he would do anything in his power to stop this guy…from hurting his family.

As he was coming to his decision there was a loud crashing sound as if a car was hit and then tires squealing across the ground. Ducking in the backseat when Juugo yelled at him to do so, "What's going on?!" He yelled, wanting to peek out of the window badly. It was quiet for a moment then the car took off, he wanted to ask what was going on again but he didn't want to distract Juugo from what he was doing. Sitting on the floorboard of the backseat with his head leaning against the back of the passenger seat, the car started to slow. He was rattled, what was going on? He was scared and his stomach stated to cramp up. This wasn't good. Taking deep breathes he tried to calm his erratic heartbeat and breathing.

Who was hit? Who car was hit? It was a car…wasn't it? It sounded like one and it must have had something to do with us because Juugo wouldn't have reacted this way if it was a normal car accident…Was it the guy from the market? After him…for what? His face wasn't known from the agency and no one really had it out for him, so…it had something to do with Sasuke, the Uchiha's…again.

Groaning for the umpteenth time since this all happened he shook his head. His dad said that Uchiha's were trouble.

…

Once they pulled up to the house after driving around for a while just in case they had a tail. Naruto waited until the coast was clear then he waddled into the house, in a blaze of fury. He had too much time to think and with him thinking, it was never good. He kept on imagining what would have happened if the boys were with him.

"Sasuke!" He shouted out, he knew the teme was here because his car was parked outside. Once said raven popped his head out the kitchen with two extra heads of black, he took a deep breath then charged at him, "What the hell are we in now?! Huh, answer me goddammit!" Huffing he walked over to the refrigerator and slammed the door open, he wanted so badly to have a drink right now but his little magical blend was still residing inside him. So he had to settle for the chilled raspberry tea that was inside. Glaring at Sasuke, Itachi and Fugaku, "Speak." He turned to the cabinet to retrieve a glass and gave it a quick rinse before pouring him a glass.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, he honestly was going to tell him about this when he got home today but who knew that the delusional fucker had already set his sights on Naruto or any of their family for that matter. When he got the call from Juugo he was just leaving the conference with his Dad and Itachi. They tagged along after making sure that Daidara and his Mother were safe.

"I was going to tell you everything when I got home. That's why I was called to the company this morning." Sasuke tried to explain as Naruto just huffed rubbing his stomach to release some of the tension building up there. Sasuke looked at Naruto and became worried when he saw how pale he was and how his face looked pinched as he tried to calm himself down. Going over to him…slowly, he wasn't sure if his touch was welcomed or not but gave a small smile when Naruto let him wrap his arms around his waist and stomach; Placing his hands on the stomach that housed their third child, he began to massage it. "I swear I just learned about this.."

"Just tell me what's going on Sasuke." Naruto breathed out as Sasuke's hands worked wonders on him, laying his head back on Sasuke's shoulder he closed his eyes, "Not knowing what's going on is making me anxious…so just spit it out."

Naruto listened intently to what they all had to say from his new position, on the chaise seated between Sasuke's legs, getting soothing caresses, back and shoulder rubs. "So you are saying this guy wants credit for some new software that the company created?! Are you fucking kidding me, what is this software and why is it so important that it's worth a life?" Naruto asked tensing again, making Sasuke double his efforts to try and rub out the knots that were forming in his neck and shoulders.

"Well…Naruto it is a delicate situation." Fugaku started but shut up when he received a death glare from Naruto, "That's not good enough and you damn well know it."

"Okay but what I have to say will have to stay in this room, between us." Naruto rolled his eyes, like who the hell was he going to tell and he had a damn nerve since he was now involved. Fugaku was about ten seconds away from getting a smack down on his candy ass. "Okay…I promise not to tell unless my family lives are at stake…"

"Fair enough…," He said as he thought a bit on how to explain, "Okay we have been working on a for…mu..la of sorts" Naruto couldn't help it and interrupted, "Formula? I thought that Uchiha Corps was releasing software?"

"We have software but what Danzo is trying to get his filthy hands on is the formula we created. It still on a trail run but project Susanoo has made a lot of progress. Like I told you before we had an employee named Orochimaru who worked in the lab and we had to let him go because of the unorthodox experiments he was conducting and Danzo was later on named a partner in those lab tests. They were working on living people, who we found out never consented to any tests What they were doing was beyond immoral and if word got out that it was us, Uchiha's who were backing them then…we wouldn't still be around. The cops would have been involved and our good name would have been tarnished, so we did the only thing that we could…get rid of the problem. Orochimaru wasn't a problem, we just gave him a good amount of money for him to disappear but Danzo wouldn't leave quietly. He refused money and left, we haven't seen him in over three years. I don't know what he's been up to. We tried to find him a couple of times but hoped that he would stay away but obviously that didn't happen."

Naruto nodded but he couldn't help but want to know about the here and now… he didn't want to hear about his crazy ass employees back stories, "Okay, I get why he doesn't like you guys. You messed up his sick party with his buddy but why come after you now? Why me? Fuck, why even target Sasuke? He wasn't even in this country when everything went down." He didn't get any of this, was there a bigger picture to this? What exactly were they doing over there in Uchiha Corp?

"I get that you ar—"

"No you don't get how I feel at all!" Naruto shouted standing up now. "It's like we don't get any peace around here! I worked for a top notch law enforcement agency and not once had someone come and tried anything like this. This is crazy…" Pacing the room, he couldn't do this anymore he thought. Why couldn't he have his happily ever after? Whirling around quickly he was about to say something but had to stop as a really painful spasm caused him to double over and groan in pain. Sasuke was on his feet at once racing over to Naruto.

"What's wrong Naruto?" He asked worried, but he couldn't speak as he tried to ride out the pain. Breathing heavily, he let Sasuke lift him up in his arms and walked back to where he was seated a moment ago. "What's the matter baby?" He said placing his hand over Naruto's stomach trying to calm the anxiety Naruto was feeling. He hated hearing the whimpering coming from Naruto, he wished there was something he could do. Pulling out his phone he strolled through his contacts until he came to T for Tsunade. Tapping the call button on his phone, he waited for the call to connect and wasn't surprised that she answered on the first ring.

"What is it Sasuke? Is everything alright?" She asked worried, she must have known that if he called it must have been urgent. "Naruto is cramping, badly if I go by the pained sounds he is making."

"I will be there soon, just try to get him comfortable." She hung up. Shaking his head he looked down at Naruto who was starting to sweat.

"It will be alright, nothing to worry about. The baby will be fine, the twins will be fine and so will you." He said softly as he kiss the top of Naruto's now damp hair. He was saying that everything would be fine but he wasn't so sure after he moved his hand from underneath Naruto to see his hand coated in blood. Looking up he made eye contact with his father and brother, holding up his hand. He watched as Itachi pulled out his phone quickly.

What the hell was he going to do if something happened to Naruto, the baby or Natsu and Yuki? He couldn't lose them…not again.
