Naruto watched the raven nervously. Sasuke noticed that Naruto seemed uneasy about something. He looked up at the blonde. "Is there something bothering you?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head. The raven went back to work. Sasuke had been allowed to take the jounin exams and, he had passed with flying colours. He now had his own team. Tsunade, much to Naruto's delight, decided that the cheerful blonde would be the next hokage. She would train Naruto until it was time for him to take over, or before something happened to her. Sasuke sighed and stopped writing the mission reports he was working on. He placed his pen on top of the papers. "Naruto." he moved away from his desk and sat on the bed where the blonde was sitting. "I can tell something is wrong, dobe." Naruto looked up.

"What makes you say that?" the blonde asked quietly. He simply got a glare in return. Naruto sighed. "I don't know how your going to react to this, but…" Naruto placed his hand over Sasuke's. "I'm pregnant." Sasuke's face broke out in a smile.

"How?" he asked excitedly. "I mean, least time…" Sasuke trailed off, deciding now wouldn't be the time to mention Orochimaru. "Kyuubi. She hasn't admitted it yet, but it's the only explanation." Sasuke wrapped his arms around the blonde.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked.

"Because…well, I wasn't sure, after last time, you would be ready for all this." Sasuke smiled. "That's what I should be asking you! Of course I want a child with you." Sasuke pulled away, glad Naruto understood how happy he was about this.

"I think I can finally forgive Kyuubi properly." Naruto said quietly. "Without her, I probably would have had things much easier. We wouldn't have had all those arguments we did years ago. But…without her I wouldn't be having your child." Sasuke smiled and placed his hand proudly over Naruto's stomach.

'Thanks, kyu.'
