Chapter 72 – Naruto's Chapter (Part 4)

I really loved Sakura's house. It was so big! I wished I could get Hinata a house like this one day, but we didn't need a house yet. The one who needed to get a house was Sai. Ever since Ino popped out little Inojin, Ino's been begging for a house instead of an apartment.

"Can't I just live with you, Sakura?" I heard Ino asking Sakura while we were spending a relaxing Saturday at Sakura's house.

"The neighbors keep complaining about Inojin crying in the night," Ino went on.

"Well, Sasuke-kun will be away for a while so maybe it wouldn't be too bad," Sakura conceded.

"Can we live here too?" I joined the conversation.

"Naruto," Hinata appeared by me.

"I was just joking," I grinned.

"No, actually, I wouldn't mind the company. Mikoto and Fugaku are off on vacation with my parents, Sasuke-kun is gone and Itachi is super busy. It would be kind of fun to have everyone staying around. I've got loads of room," Sakura stated.

"Well, if we wouldn't be imposing," Hinata spoke softly. I loved her soft voice. But I loved it even more when she was using it scream out my name…

"Yeah, it would be a lot of fun. It'd be like a big sleepover," Sakura laughed.

"Yeah but with husbands and babies," Ino laughed.

So it began. Ino, Sai, Inojin, Hinata and I all started living in Sakura's house. It was really nice. There was so much space and we could save money on electricity since we weren't using any. It was also cool to have a new venue for Hinata and me to have…fun. But there was something going on with Sakura and Hinata. They were both acting a little weird. Hinata wasn't into doing stuff much and Sakura was seemingly more lazy. I tried to talk to Sai about them.

"Sakura is probably just depressed without Sasuke. And Hinata is probably bored with you."

I punched him but I took the words to heart. Sakura was probably depressed without Sasuke. Hinata couldn't be bored with me though. I was Naruto Freaking Uzumaki the world's greatest lover! Believe it!

But how could I make Sakura feel better? I couldn't have sex with her. That'd be super awkward. No. I would never do that.

"Oh, hi, Naruto," She came into the house once after she got off from work.

"Hey, Sakura," I got up.

"I see you got off work early today," She sat on the couch with me.

"Yeah," I nodded, "How was your work?"

"Fine. I've been feeling really tired and I kept getting sick this morning. Hinata was too. I think we might have gotten food poisoning last night. Did you feel sick?" She asked me.

"No."

"I guess it was just Hinata's and my food," She shrugged. But Hinata and I had shared food. Maybe it was something else.

"You want to go to the movies tonight. Hinata, you and me can go. It'll be fun."

"No, I'm feeling tired."

"Sakura, are you okay?" I felt I needed to ask.

"Yeah. Why would you think differently?"

"You just seem down and you don't seem to want to do much."

"I'm fine. I'm just feeling sick."

"Sakura, you can tell me if you're feeling depressed," I patted her arm.

"I'm fine, Naruto. Don't' worry. You and Hinata can go have fun. I'll stay here and rest."

I could see through her fake smile but I accepted it. I took Hinata to the movies.

"Naruto, let's walk a little slower. I'm feeling really tired," Hinata pulled on my arm for me to slow down.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. I couldn't let me beautiful wife be sick.

"Well…" She slowed down even more to the point we stopped. I looked down at her.

"Naruto…." She whispered my name.

"What is it, Hinata?" I was becoming truly concerned.

"I took a test today…"

"A test? But you're a teacher. Do you mean you graded a test?"

"No. I took a test, Naruto."

I was confused.

"Did you pass?" I wasn't sure what to say. What test did she take?

"Well, it came out positive."

"That's good," I gave her a thumbs up.

"Naruto, do you know what kind of test I'm talking about?"

"No…" I looked down and scratched my cheek sheepishly.

"Naruto, it was a pregnancy test."

Pregnancy test. Pregnancy test is a test to see if you're pregnant. Hinata took a pregnancy test. She took a test to see if she were pregnant. She had a positive outcome with the test. That means Hinata was pregnant. She had a baby inside her. The baby was…mine. It was mine! I was going to be a father!

"I'm going to be a father!"

She smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to be a father! You have my baby in you! You're going to be a mother! We're going to be parents!" I was jumping everywhere. Hinata was laughing.

"We're having a baby!" I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close to me.

"Yes," Hinata smiled so gorgeously. Had to kiss her.

I was so high. I was going to be a father. Hinata was the mother. We were going to be parents. Nothing could make me happier than I was at the moment.

"We have to tell everyone!" I took her hand and began rushing to Sakura's then had to take in account my sweet wife was pregnant and didn't need to be running. We walked slowly but excitedly to Sakura's.

"We're back!" I announced.

"Be quiet! I just got Inojin down," Ino came out scolding.

"Wake him up. We got news for everyone!" I said loudly. Sai came out and Sakura came down the stairs asking about the noise.

"We have an announcement. Hinata," I looked to her. She was red.

"I'm pregnant," She said.

"Pregnant!" Ino and Sakura gasped. Hinata nodded. The girls attacked Hinata with hugs.

"Good job," Sai patted my shoulder.

"Thanks," I could not stop grinning.

There was a similar reaction when we told my parents and hers. Everyone we told was thrilled. But no one was as thrilled as I was. I had to tell anyone and everyone. I totally bragged about it at work and to Sasuke over the phone.

"You better be back soon so you won't miss the birth of my baby," I told the teme.

"I'll be back soon," He laughed.

"Good. Then you and Sakura can make some babies too!"

"Yeah. Yeah. I got to go. I'll talk to you later," He hung up on me. He needed to come back soon and hurry up and make some babies with Sakura so our kids could be best friends. He also needed to come back to take care of Sakura. She seemed to get more tired and sickly. She even skipped work once because she was feeling so bad.

One night as Kakashi, Sakura, Hinata and I went out for a walk, Sakura was extra reliant on Kakashi to help her walk. I was concerned but was focused on Hinata because I had to make sure the mother of my child was perfect. It wasn't till Sakura fainted that I realized how sick she had gotten. Kakashi had to carry her to the hospital. My heart raced. My best friend had fainted in the park.

"Is Sakura okay?" I asked the doctor when he came out to us.

"She's fine now. She's awake," He said.

"What happened to her?" Kakashi seemed desperate to know.

"Are you family?"

"Just as good as," I answered.

"I can't tell you then. Medical privacy stuff."

"You tell me what is wrong with her right now!" Kakashi grabbed the doctor. The doctor cringed.

"You can tell me. I'm her brother-in-law," Itachi appeared.

"Dr. Uchiha," The other doctor was released by Kakashi and sighed in relief.

"Please, tell me what is wrong with her."

The doctor leaned in and whispered the truth to him. Itachi's eyes widened.

"She is?" Itachi asked.

"Yes."

"Thank you," Itachi dismissed the other doctor.

"What's wrong with her? Why did she faint?" Hinata asked.

"Sakura seemed to have combined symptoms of insomnia, stress and much vomiting resulting in a lack of nutrients that she needs right now," Itachi began.

"She has been really sick lately," I reflected.

"It's not good for her to be sick in her condition," Itachi continued.

"Condition?" Kakashi asked what I was going to.

"Our tests show that Sakura is…pregnant."

"What?" We all gasped.

"She's pregnant," Itachi smiled.

"Like with a baby?" I couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

"Oh, my god. Sakura's pregnant too," I just could not believe it.
