LOTS OF THANKS to all my Favors, Subscribers, and certainly, Reviewers. You guys make my day. :D
Special Thanks To::nymphadora1982. I couldn't finish this without her. She gave me Itachi's husband! Yes, HUSBAND. He's married. I would've never thought of it. : )
That's dandy and all, but I need your help.
What is their babies name? Yeah Naruto and Sasuke's. So if you review, just send me a little PS telling me a boy, girl, or both names. I prefer them not to be Arashi, or American names. Like Jake and Bob. :/
I already have Itachi all planned out. : )
Let us begin, no?

When a prank goes amazingly well
Two and a half weeks later..
Today was a Wednesday, Naruto mentally reminded himself. Today was the day where everything would be slow and agonizing. That was because today was Sasuke's appointment.
Their morning routine went through silently. Naruto took his shower alone and washed his own back sluggishly. Sasuke didn't even get out of bed when the radio went off with a cheerful melody, which was silenced before the next beat.
Naruto sighed and turned his head down away from the spray. He fumbled slightly with the dials of the bathtub before the slightly scalding water turned off. He reached out onto the counter and grabbed his towel half-heartedly. It slid carelessly to the floor after his attempt to grab it. Naruto reached down and grabbed it, not even sparing it the frustration while droplets of water puddled from his hair onto the floor.
He slid the towel around his waist lightly and walked out of the bathroom, steam trailing him slightly before dissipating behind him. His feet scraped against the floor when he grabbed the first things he saw out of the closet. Ragged jeans and a blue dress shirt next to his ankle socks and boxers. He shrugged awkwardly as he left a tie behind in the closet.
Not wearing a tie followed Sasuke's appointment days. Every morning his lover did the knot for him and lightly laid the collar down over it. Naruto had asked him at least a million times to teach him, but Sasuke always refused, saying how much he loved to do it for him. Naruto just explained to him that it was a perfectly good excuse to kiss him.
He dressed himself slowly while directing his stare Sasuke's still form that was still in bed/ He was facing the wall with knees pulled up slightly higher than usual. His breaths were a little uneven, signaling that he was awake. He fastened the button near his neck and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt.
He smiled sadly as he sat down on their bed. Sasuke didn't move his eye from the wall even when Naruto placed his hand on his shoulder and rubbed it gently.
"I'm gonna go to the school, alright?" Naruto said quietly. Sasuke nodded lightly, his eyes trained on the wall. "Remember to call."
Sasuke turned from the wall and looked at Naruto. The blonde gave his best smile in the given situation and mood. But it made Sasuke read his hand up to the wall and looked at Naruto. The blonde gave his best smile in the given situation and mood. But it made Sasuke reach his hand up to lightly lead Naruto's head down to give him a light peck on the lips. The blonde gave a better smile against Sasuke's lips that seemed to be contagious, because his lover gave an equal smile.
"I love you."
"And I love you, too."
Naruto pressed into him slightly, making their lips connect again, before rising from the bed and walking out the bedroom door, letting Sasuke return to resting. Or staring at the wall. He walked down the hall quickly, in a little better mood than he was. He nabbed his keys off of the rack. Slipping his feet into a pair of tennis shoes, he nudged his heel into the back and opened the door.
He pulled back slightly as he faced Itachi, who's finger was centimeters away from the doorbell. They both blinked at the sudden meeting but regained the little composure to greet properly.
"What'cha doing here Itachi?" Naruto asked, flipping the keys that he held in his hand. Itachi smiled and rolled his eyes. "I'm here to take Sasuke to see Tsudane today."
Naruto tilted his head slightly and crossed his arms, the keys jingling at the movement. "Why doesn't he just go by himself?" At this Itachi slightly raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Didn't Sasuke talk to you this morning?" He asked suspiciously, shifting his weight to the other foot. Naruto shook his head.
"He was really quiet, actually. He's still in bed." The older of two furrowed his eyebrows and grimaced. He motioned for Naruto to step outside. The blonde followed and closed the door behind him before leaning against it to study his almost brother in-law's expression. He looked slightly scared and concerned.
"I'm actually not surprised he didn't tell you but.." Itachi's hand went straight to his hair, which he wore down today, with the hairtye around his wrist in case he wanted to put it up later.
"Naruto. Sasuke said this is the last time he's visiting Tsudane." Naruto straightened from the leaning against the door and uncrossed his arms to let them fall limply at his sides.
"He said that he's sick of all this disappointment. And I can't blame him. It's wearing on him terribly." Itachi said in a low voice. Naruto had suspected this sometime or another. That Sasuke would finally give up, and Naruto couldn't blame him either. He wouldn't have quit because his determination wouldn't have allowed him to. But this was Sasuke and he couldn't even bring himself to be mad at his lover. Only at himself .
"Thanks Itachi. I had a feeling this would happen." Naruto smiled at Itachi who managed a small smile in return.
"I'm sorry th-"
"No. Don't worry about it." The blonde interrupted. He gave a false grin and a pat on the shoulder to Itachi. "Make sure he's awake, and don't let him forget to call me, okay?" He gave Itachi's shoulder another light pat before walking past him to the red car that sat in the driveway. Naruto opened the car door and slid in and putting the key into the ignition. He waved at Itachi, who gave a small wave back, and started the car. He pulled out and left Itachi's view while he stood on the doorstep.
Itachi frowned and opened the door slowly to his brother's home. He had a bad feeling about today.
He hoped that for once, he would be wrong.

Naruto plopped down into his desk chair roughly. He really didn't want to be here today teaching. Which was odd because he adored being at the school. He turned to the photos to his left and smiled slightly, wiping the little dust off of one. He picked it up and held it in front of him. The one of he and Sasuke together. No matter how many times he studied it, there was never any flaws found. Their smiles were perfect, the sunlight was perfect, and there was no one behind the bench to put-off the picture. He started to smile wider until the phone on the stand gave a shrill ring. The ID read Konohamaru's number in the bright green text. He reached to pull the phone off it's hold, but the pedestal came up with it. He frowned when he heard a snicker from the doorway.
"You super glued my phone.." He said in monotone, not looking at the boy in the door. Said boy smiled and nodded. Naruto's frown deepened and he set the phone down.
"No offense 'Maru, but I'm not in the mood." He looked over to Konohamaru who's sheepish grin turned to a sad smile. He closed the phone, ending the other's ring and pocketed it.
"Sorry about that. I was hoping it would cheer you up." Naruto tried a smile, but it turned to a grimace. The assistant frowned and set the coffee that he held in his opposite hand on the desk. The teacher didn't even spare it a glance and sighed.
"You seem more upset than usual. Asking if you were alright would be stupid, but you can tell me what happened." When the blonde didn't raise his eyes he tried again. "Is it Sasuke?" In turn, Naruto nodded and looked up at his disciple.
"Yeah Konohamaru. It is." He started knotting his hands together. Konohamaru nodded his head for him to continue.
"He said that this was the last time he's visiting the old hag. He's sick of all the disappointment. And I hate to say it, but so am I." He wrung out one of his hands from the other and rubbed furiously over his eyes. "It's just not fair. Why us?" His voice started to crack as his other hand reached up and he covered his eyes under his palms. The stinging in his eyes gave way and he felt hot tears press his hands.
Konohamaru bit his lip and looked at his idol. Out of all the time he'd ever know him, he never suspected to see them man cry. His happiness was so constant that it seemed that his reserve would never crumble. But there was Naruto, right in front him and sobbing. He couldn't stand even sparing a glance as he whipped around and walked out of the room, a familiar sting in his eyes as well. He half jogged to two doors down across the hall and burst into it.
"Miss Haruno.." The said strawberry haired teacher raised her eyes from the paper at her desk. Her jade eyes immediately look concerned and her eyebrows furrowed. She opened her mouth to speak, but Konohamaru's cracked voice interrupted her.
"I'll tell you the situation later, but right now Naruto needs you." He finally felt the liquid peer over his eyelashes before blinking them into falling. He knew he was acting childish, but he really couldn't stand it. Sakura rose quickly from the Oakwood desk and rushing past the assistant through the door. She turned into the English teacher's room before closing the door behind her.
Sakura fell to her knees next to the chair and met Naruto's squeezing embrace half way. He sobbed and mumbled incoherent words into her shoulder while she hushed him and repeated assuring words in a whisper. They stayed there just repeating words as a mantra while just two doors over, and right across the linoleum floor, Konohamaru leaned against the wall and started a mantra of his own.
"I can do this. I can do this. Icandothis."

Sasuke sat on the itchy cotton chair of the hospital's lobby. His hands were clasped together while his elbows rested on his knees, letting his arms stretch out in front of him. He sat hunched in his chair vaguely studying the speckled design in the tiles on the ground. Itachi sat next to him with his arms expanding across the chairs on either side of him. He looked up at the ceiling, counting the plates and recounting them again. Three times he got four hundred six. Once he got four hundred three. He corrected himself by counting again. Itachi let his thought wander to his little brother beside him while Sasuke's mind had been far away.
That morning they had left the house a while after Naruto had. Sasuke was taking his time slowly taking his shower and getting dressed. His hair was still wet and stuck to his neck in an unfamiliar fashion when he came to the kitchen where his brother prepared a small breakfast. They spoke very few words over the long period of time. It was an uncomfortable silence that both tried to break often, but failing to start a decent conversation.
Minutes after putting the dishes into the sink and slipping on shoes, they drove to Konoha Hospital. There they sat in the parking lot. Forty two minutes had passed. Itachi should know, he was staring intently at the clock. While Sasuke to his right had been obviously trying to work up the nerve to open the car door and walk through the automatic doors. His hand had shifted to the door a few times, but stopped with a flinch and returned to laying in his lap.
When Sasuke finally rushed his hand to the handle and pushed it open, Itachi wanted to breath a sigh of relief but refrained from drawing attention away from Sasuke and his thoughts. They walked slowly to the self operative doors and met the receptionist at the counter. Itachi had told her the time of their appointment and her manicured nails clicked away at the computer. She gave a nod of approval and asked them to have a seat.
And there they were, twenty minutes later. Itachi had let out a sigh willingly this time which was followed by a click of a door opening. Sasuke blinked and raised his head at the nurse with a clipboard in her hand. She smiled.
"Doctor Tsudane will see you now."
. B I R D S . A N D . B E E S . D O N T . M A K E . S E N S E .
"Alright class, it's time for your tests which as you know means complete silence. And Sasuke should be calling me later and since someone super glued my phone to the stand.." He looked to Konohamaru who was passing out tests. The assistant looked at him and grinned. "So I have to answer the phone on speaker. Just keep working on your tests." He sat down at his desk again and slid his chair forward.
Naruto pulled out a pen from his 'Number One Teacher!' mug and started grading papers from earlier. One of the girls in the second row, Umori, raised her hand for a question. He briefly raised his head but as Konohamaru passed out the last packet he trotted over to her. She muttered something low and Konohamaru took a quick glance at the teacher before shaking his head and moving back to the front.
He took an eraser off the rack and started to rub away the letters on the white board. The variety of colors and curves disappeared under the thick black material of the eraser. The whole class was deathly silent besides the ticking of the clock and the squeak of a desk or chair shifting. Even when he had tests some of his students were whispering and giggling to each other. But as they grew to know that when Naruto didn't wear a tie that day, it meant that it was his lover's appointments.
Naruto took a quick glance at the clock before turning back to his papers. His hand shook just slightly and he could almost hear his heartbeat in his ear. Needless to say, he was terrified for some reason. It was only about 8:30 and Sasuke wouldn't be done until 9:00. He sighed through his nose and placed the red pen back against the paper to mark an answer wrong.
. B I R D S . A N D . B E E S . D O N T . M A K E . S E N S E .
Sasuke was seated on the cool metal table while Tsudane was out of the room. Despite the thin layer of paper and the thin hospital's robe, he didn't find it all that cold. Itachi sat in the plastic seat to Sasuke's left which was right next to the counter where all the check-up supplies laid.
With his leg fidgeting endlessly and his fingers tapping on crossed arms he looked very uneasy, which Sasuke hadn't seen very many times. His brother was always laid back and collected even in a rough situation, his composure was always solid.
But while Itachi looked from Sasuke to the door over and over, he really couldn't help it. He really did have a bad feeling and it was irritating him that Sasuke looked calm. His eyes were directed on the knob of the door, waiting for it to turn and he sat up straight as a board. Sasuke really wasn't calm, infact, he was slightly surprised that Itachi couldn't hear his heartbeat from where he sat just feet away. He could hardly hear his thought over it.
He was debating whether he should actually bother to call Naruto when he was done. Hated talking to Naruto after the appointment, hearing his voice go from chipper to a low sulking tone was a tad heartbreaking. Maybe if he asked nicely Itachi might do it for him. Sasuke looked at his brother where he say with furrowed eyebrows and obviously anxious. Itachi looked up from his spaced stare on the floor and gave his younger brother a reassuring smile. Sasuke gave a small smile back.
With the one time Sasuke wasn't waiting for the doorknob to turn, it seemingly did. His head snapped back to the thick hunk of wood to see Tsudane with a folder in her hands. She gave a very tiny smile, that could pass as a grimace. The blonde doctor was pouring tears down her cheeks. That's where the two brother's attention was. The chocolate brown eyes were glazed and puffy from crying. Sasuke's jaw dropped into an unbelievable frown. His heartbeat had just about stopped. He couldn't hear it in his ears anymore, just the breaths of the room's occupants.
"Sasuke.."
. B I R D S . A N D . B E E S . D O N T . M A K E . S E N S E .
Naruto gave the clock another glance. It was 9:12 and he was starting to worry. Normally he wouldn't but the aching feeling that this was the last call from Sasuke after his appointments was wearing on him. The ticks of the clock, the screeches of chairs and Naruto's insistent pen taps against his paper were the only source of sound in the classroom. Konohamaru sat at a smaller student's desk in the corner nearest him also correcting papers. Some of his students had finished the packet and opted for staring at the dark second's hand go past lines and numbers each minute.
He had stopped tapping his pen and turned it around to face the ink towards the paper. He placed it gently on the written paper but immediately dropped it when his phone gave a shrill ring as it's usual tone did.
Everyone stopped writing on their papers and snapped their heads up. It appeared that they had been waiting for this almost as much as Naruto had. The hand that was holding the pen shook violently all of the sudden. He could swear that his whole body was shaking and his heart was going a million miles an hour. The screen read 'Uchiha' and Sasuke's cellular number under it. His hand reached leisurely towards the bold white letters that read 'SPEAKER' and pressed the dark button.
"Hello Sasuke." He tried to sound casual but it came out forced.
"Naruto…" His assumed boyfriend's voice murmured softly. Naruto sadly smiled at the tone that he expected.
"Hey." He paused slightly, contemplating how to ask carefully. "H-How did the appointment go?" Everyone in Naruto's class was leaning forward in their chairs. Konohamaru was staring intently just as well.
A small stutter was heard and then an exhale. Naruto automatically slumped, his whole form contorting into sadness. His eyebrows furrowed and he cleared his throat to rid of the possible choking sound.
"It's okay Sasuke." He tried his best to sound happy but anyone could tell he was trying to hard. The classroom seemed to darken at their teacher's mood. Some of the middle school students were near tears. Konohamaru's jaw dropped slightly and he dropped his pen.
"Don't worry about a thing. We tried and if tha-"
"No Naruto." Said blonde leaned back slightly and frowned. His eyes connected with his desk and his eyes stung for the second time that day. Sasuke was really giving up. On everything. Maybe they would have to resort to adoption, which was fine, but its not really what they wanted.
"If you want, we coul-"
"God. Naruto." They could all hear a sob on the other end of the line. A few girls had felt tears pour down their cheeks watching their teacher fall apart right in front of them.
"You dobe." Naruto could hear a sobbing laughter from his lover and furrowed his eyebrows even more.
"We did it." Naruto gasped as Sasuke's melodious voice filled the speaker.
"Naruto.." He immediately brightened and smiled.
"I'm Pregnant."
