"I want to name the kids after us!" Naruto shouted at Sasuke in bed. Glaring Naruto watched as the Uchiha stood in front of him in nothing but a towel, just getting out of the shower, all hot and steamy. They had argued about names all day, he wanted the kids to have names that were made from the letter's of theirs but Sasuke kept on trying to weasel his boring old-fashioned names into the mix. Hell no! He wasn't naming one of his kids Akifumi (Bright History), Kiyoto (Noble person), or Yoshiaki (Bright Justice). Why did he keep coming up with names with history and noble or just boooring meaning?

Naruto really thought that naming the kids after them would be cute and creative but being an Uchiha, Sasuke thought that they should have "Strong" and "honorable" names. But Naruto's name wasn't any of that...memorable, yeah that was totally him. Who else was named after a cured fish ground meat that was put in ramen? No one but him. He already came up with names too but Sasuke wouldn't hear him out. Good names at that.

"Why do you want them not to have strong manly names?" Sasuke asked pulling a shirt over his head. "I just don't get it..."

"I get it! I know what I want and I will name them whatever I want. Ya know since I'm the one doing all the work! I don't see you with swollen ankles or back problems...so really you have no say! When you're ready to see my side of the story then we can discuss the children's names together...as husband and wife...or whatever!" Muttering that last part, Naruto got up off the bed and made his way to their new bathroom; leaving a speechless Sasuke behind. Hmph serves the bastard right!

It's been a little over a week since they got to Saikuron, it was a beautiful place...a little dry for Naruto's tastes but it was worth it to find out more about his heritage. They had spent time with Akahana and her family but they didn't ask her about the Uzumaki clan yet.

He kept chickening out, but he also thought that it was too soon. He would like to establish a bond with her first and at least have her trust before he plunged into anything. Yeah he thought that it was for the best, Sasuke thought so too which shocked him but Sasuke was a planner. But right now he was the teme he couldn't stand. Why couldn't he see his side of things? They were creating three beautiful babies and he didn't want them to go through the same kind of upbringing Sasuke and his brother went through...why couldn't he see that? Naruto wanted them to be them, not some über Uchiha that the past Uchiha's wanted for mainly Itachi but Sasuke too. Sighing Naruto started to strip.

He noticed that he got a little bigger and was hoping that he wouldn't get that much bigger than he was. He was never one to just laze around...plus there was basically nothing to do but be pregnant. Sasuke on the other hand could do whatever he wanted, which really irked the hell out of him. He loved that he was close to his little meat balls but on the other hand he wished that it was Sasuke who was going through this instead of him.

Humming to himself he wondered what he should do? He was stressed and wanted a bath, to take his time and relax but on the other hand if he took a bath he would have to call that bastard in the other room to help him get out. If he took a shower he would have to be quick and that's not what he wanted. Taking that shower would drain him more and his feet would start to hurt.

"I guess it's a bath." Naruto muttered to himself turning on the tap, thank god he thought, he wouldn't have to wait long. The tub had special water pressure that had water flowing out fast because the tub was huge, kind of like a bath house tub...which made Naruto happy, the more space the better he thought.

Adding his honey scented bubble bath he inhaled deeply. It was such a mellow smell, he thought taking off the rest of his clothes.

Sinking into the hot water Naruto sighed in relief, god this felt good. He couldn't believe how stressed he was, with the moving and trying to find out more about his clan...he could kind of see why but also the thorn in his side named Sasuke who was making things worse. He really couldn't understand why he was being such a jerk about it. Yeah those names worked for other people but not for his kids, he just couldn't see himself calling out to a Yoshiaki. It just didn't feel right to him. He wanted to show Sasuke that they could come up with names...good names out of their own..ugh he hoped Sasuke came around before they are born.

Scrubbing the front of his body he soon realized that he would need help with the back, his arms was starting to hurt by him straining to reach his back. "Ugh fuck...I'm going to have to call that little shit to help. How can I act tough when I need him to wash my back...what a fucking pain." He hissed taking a deep breath. "Sasuke you little shit, get in here!" Naruto shouted.

Waiting for said shit to make his way into the bathroom, Naruto went back to washing his front. His ankles were still a little swollen but it was going down from the soaking, that was one of the reasons he opted for the bath.

"Do you want something?" Sasuke asked from the door, looking amused at Naruto in the tub. Maybe he should have waited and taken a bath with his dobe, who was now glaring at him. Ah, he was still mad about the baby names he guessed but honestly was Naruto trustworthy to name them? He'll probably try to name one ramen. Sighing deeply he watched Naruto open his mouth to speak.

Mumbling he said, "I need your help." But Sasuke couldn't hear what he said.

"What was that?" He asked with a smirk just to piss off Naruto. Seeing that smirk made Naruto see red.

"I know you heard me you prick! I'm in this situation because of you and you go around laughing at me and not listening to m-me...jerk." Naruto said sniffling he started to cry. He was in this because of him and he was so insensitive sometimes that Naruto didn't know why they were together. He cried harder turning away from Sasuke who was walking to the tub, he flinch when he felt him touch him.

"Why are you crying dobe?" Sasuke asked concerned, he really didn't hear what he said earlier...maybe he shouldn't have smirked but he was pissed off too. What was wrong with the names that he picked? They were good Uchiha names! "Naruto I really didn't hear what you said earlier." He said soothingly, rubbing his wet back.

Sobbing some more Naruto turned to Sasuke with watery blue eyes. "I can't reach my b-back...can y-you wash it for me?" He asked in a soft voice. Smiling at him Sasuke nodded and took the rag from Naruto and went to work.

He poured more of the honey wash on it and gently washed his back,, talking in a low voice about how beautiful he was to him. "I'll even listen to what you came up with about their names...okay, so don't cry."

"Really?" Is all that Naruto said, not turning around to look at him.

"Really, like you said you are the one doing all the work. I just wanted them to have strong names worthy of the Uchiha name."

Naruto did turn around at that, not happily Sasuke thought as he stared into angry blue eyes. "Thats your problem right there, Sasuke! They aren't just Uchiha's, their Uzumaki's and Namikaze's too. And the Uchiha's should feel honored to have them take on the name, they could have either Namikaze or Uzumaki as their last name. Plus this isn't back when you were a child trying to live up to that name, they won't go through that Sasuke...I mean it. No one will ever say that my children aren't good enough and make them jump through hoops just to fit in." Naruto said seething looking Sasuke in the eye's waiting for him to protest or something.

Leaning his head against the Uzumaki's forehead Sasuke grinned. "I feel exactly the same way Naruto...but knowing you, you'll probably try to name one ramen."

Laughing Naruto relaxed, maybe he was scared for how people will look at his kids. Some people in Konoha still looked at him as if he was a monster, he couldn't believe it. After all that he did for that village he still got looked down on. He didn't want that for his children but they might not go through that with Sasuke being the father but it could have the opposite effect and they are hated because of that fact. Him tainting the "Uchiha's" good name. Sometimes people made him sick, what's wrong with diversity and uniqueness? Nothing Naruto thought, thats what makes them special and one of a kind.

"I wouldn't do that...jerk. I did take this seriously, they do have to live with these names for the rest of their lives." Naruto said pulling back, raising his hands out to Sasuke who got the hint and stood. Grabbing Naruto's small hands he pulled him up, letting go for a moment he grabbed the towel off the bathroom counter wrapping it around Naruto.

Helping him out the tub, they made their way into the room. "What are you wearing, I'll get it for you...so just sit down." Muttering a thanks Naruto did as told.

"How about you just give me some underwear and one of your shirts?" Naruto asked blushing lightly, he did love sleeping in Sasuke's stuff but...wait he was too big now to fit his stuff. Depressed he quickly told Sasuke never mind. "Just give me that big night-shirt instead."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Taking him at his word Sasuke put his shirt back and gave Naruto what he asked for. He quickly got dressed and went to lay down in bed, he was tired and achy. Sleep will help.

"So...about those names, are you going to tell me?" Sasuke asked getting in next to Naruto.

Yawning Naruto looked at him, "You want to know now?" Nodding his head Naruto cuddled next to him. "Okay."

"First of all we both have six letters in our first name, so I took the fifth letter in both of our names to start two of the triplets names. WIth you I took the K and used three other letters from your name and came up with Kesu, which means to extinguish which I see befitting for a Uchiha kid. For the second one I started the name off with a T and used three other letters from my name and came up with Tora, which means tiger...maybe this triplet will have blond hair or something that resembles a tiger. The last one I decided to use our last names and used the Ki from Uzumaki and the Chi from Uchiha and got Kichi, which means good fortune. Which we need a lot of at the moment. So what do you think?"

Sasuke didn't know what to say, Naruto had put so much thought into those names...and they were good names. Strong names. He really liked them, they were different from each other and meant things that were strong and warrior like. Kesu being strong and can annihilate anything and anyone in his path. Tora being tiger was fierce, determined, or ambitious and could take care of himself. Kichi being good fortune will have the advantage over others, having fate and the blessings of the gods on his side. Yes indeed these were good names worthy of the Uzumaki, Namikaze, and Uchiha clans, all of them should be grateful.

"I love them, Naruto." Sasuke said kissing his head. Naruto was quiet for a long time before lifting his head.

"You really like them...are willing to name them those?" He asked smiling, he knew that those names were amazing but he didn't think that Sasuke would relent that easily.

"Yes, and you picked out amazing names for them. I'm proud."

"Thank you."

"For what?" Sasuke asked frowning, what was he thanking him for, he should be the one thanking him for just being by his side.

"For everything and agreeing to the names I picked." Naruto said leaning forward to plant a kiss on Sasuke's lips but felt breath as Sasuke whispered an I love you before kissing him. Naruto felt a weight lift off his shoulder as he deepened the kiss, he loved Sasuke too and was happy that they got through this fight without something major being said.

Naruto pulled back and whispered that he loved him too and cuddled against Sasuke. He wasn't feeling that well to go to third base so he was calling it a night. Feeling Sasuke wrap him in his arms he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep trying to picture what their kids will look like.

...

Sasuke looked at an overeager Naruto, he decided that today was the day to confront Akahana san about being an Uzumaki. It's been a month since they stepped foot in Saikuron village and all has been well, well...except for Naruto complaining about his aches and pains but so far so good. Kiba and Gaara should be dropping by sometime to check on them and relay any messages from Konoha.

"Come on!" Naruto shouted getting the attention of Sasuke who sighed and headed into the kitchen to help Naruto prepare dinner for Akahana and her family. They both thought that it would be a good idea to drop the news and request by feeding them and showing that they only wanted to know about the Uzumaki clan and meant no harm. He wasn't sure how they'll take it though and tried to warn Naruto about how this could backfire but it would be better to know now then later, just incase they had to leave...suddenly.

"Hai, hai I'm coming."

"About time, I've done everything and now I'm tired. You can take over from here, ne?"

Naruto asked making his way to the dining table and pulled out a chair for himself. Sitting down Naruto sighed feeling better already, he's been slaving over a hot stove and he started to feel a little nauseous after a while.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke said after taking his place in front of the stove, the food was basically done. What did he have to do? Oh well but turning fully to his wife he noticed that he was breathing hard and pale, maybe he should have cooked the food. But Naruto put up a fight saying that he could do it. He just wanted to prove that he wasn't going to be a burden and dependent, which Sasuke thought was ridiculous. Why wouldn't he just let him do everything, and just stay healthy and happy through his pregnancy. He wanted him to have no stress and enjoy the last months until the babies came.

"Are you okay?" He repeated now standing in front of Naruto now, placing his hand on his head seeing if he had a fever. He felt a little warm but not alarmingly so. "Why don't you go and lay down until they come." Sasuke said getting his hand smacked away.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired that's all. But I will go lay down for a while." Getting up he headed for their room. He wasn't feeling good but he didn't want to worry Sasuke, the guy overreacted.

Finally making it to their room Naruto walked in and headed straight for the bed, he wasn't in his disguise yet so that couldn't be draining him...so what was? Laying down on the bed on his side he grabbed a pillow and cuddled with that since he didn't have Sasuke. Quickly drifting off to sleep but woke up in agony as a sharp pain sliced through his side.

...

"SASUKE!" Shouted Naruto from the bedroom.

Sasuke turned towards the sound and wondered what was wrong until he heard an ear splitting scream fill the house. Rushing towards the sounds, Sasuke forgot all about the food as his main worries were revolved around Naruto.

Busting open the room door Sasuke found Naruto hunched over on the bed clinching his stomach, at seeing that his concerns intensified as he made his way to the bed. "What's wrong, Naruto?" He said gripping the blondes trembling shoulders.

"I-I don't k-know...m-my stomach! It's the b-babies!" Naruto shouted tears running down his face, what was wrong? Naruto thought as another sharp pain made him tremble more and scream out that it hurted.

"It'll be fine, lay back and let me see." Sasuke said trying to uncurl Naruto from his balled up position. "Are you having cramps? Or is it just pain in general, nothing specific?"

"Aaaa...i-it's more like cramps. It o-only happ...aaaahhh!" Naruto screamed as another cramp raked his body leaving him breathless and sweaty.

"Okay..okay...the doctor said that you could have premature cramping or cramping that deals with you stretching out for the babies and that it will be fine once it's over. No harm to the babies or you." I think, I could be wrong...god I should have paid more attention.

"Is that so?" Naruto asked as Sasuke stroked his head with a concerned look on his face.

"I should get help, a doctor in town...right?" He asked biting his lip, dammit he didn't know what to do to stop the pain and seeing Naruto in pain wasn't helping his state of mind either. He cringed when Naruto let out another agonized yell, when Naruto quieted down he heard loud banging on the door...could that be Akahana or just some concerned neighbor. Whoever it was might know what to do.

Getting up off the floor beside the bed, Sasuke leaned over Naruto and whispered that he would be back and gave him a quick kiss before his mouth started to open to scream. Dashing out the room Sasuke rounded corners until he came to the front door and opened it to show a concerned looking Akahana and her daughter...where was her husband. As if reading his mind she said, "I sent him to get my mother, she's a doctor...or was one."

"Ahhh thank you so much." Sasuke said holding the door open for them to come in but quickly left them to follow when Naruto started screaming again...this is bad he thought.

"What? Is she having cramps...it's too early it could be preterm labor and that could be bad, how long has this been going on? How many screaming fits did she have?" Akahana asked right on Sasuke's heels.

"About four or five..." Sasuke told her not hundred percent sure. Reaching the room they found Naruto in the same position he was in when Sasuke first arrived.

"She's having contractions, this can be prevented but we have to act fast." Rolling up her sleeves she walked around to the bottom of the bed and started to straighten Naruto out, pausing a little when she noticed the change in her or him...but quickly figured it out and kept on working. "Maki, have you been having any symptoms in the past couple of days? Like dull backaches, Harding of your stomach, or cramps with or without diarrhea?"

Naruto nodding his head but didn't speak as he had his teeth clenched. "Which one?" She asked trying to situate herself between his legs. "All, b-but...the second one not s-so ahhhh!" He screamed again but this time passed out from the pain. Akahana shot Sasuke a concerned look as she was about to pull Naruto's pants down Sasuke stopped her. "What are you doing?" He asked worried for Naruto and the babies well-being.

"Well...you do know that it's a little too late to try to cover up your lies...seeing as though," She said pointing to a now quiet Naruto who was sporting his blonde hair and whiskers...fuck Sasuke thought to himself, he wasn't thinking when he brought her back here. "She...is really a he." Sasuke didn't know what to do so he just let go of her. She didn't seem to be upset about them lying to her, so he let her do her thing until something popped into his head.

"You said that your mother was a doctor not you." Sasuke said staring at her. "I was a nurse for my mother's hospital and she should be here soon. I just want to make sure everything is fine down there, no discharge or leakage."

Sasuke nodded his head and moved up to Naruto's face. "I'm going to get a wet towel to wipe him down." He stated and left for the bathroom. Sasuke stood in front of the mirror and noticed that his breathing was irregular and his eyes were too wide. God he hope everything was alright...he couldn't lose Naruto and he didn't want to lose any of his kids not after they named them. He watched as a single tear slide down his face before he wiped it away, god he hated this...this feeling of helplessness. Quickly going to the closest that held all the bathroom essentials, he grabbed a fresh white small towel and damped it before heading back out to a now crowded room.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Shouted a small graying redhead as she gazed down at an unconscious Naruto.

"What do you mean mother we have to help him, he's been having contraction and he's only what?" She asked turning to Sasuke who made his way back to Naruto.

"Five months."

"He's only five months mom, get it together this isn't the first male that you've worked on!" Shouted Akahana as she got everyones attention.

Taking a deep breath her mother moved closer to Naruto with wide eyes and placed her hands on his stomach, releasing her breath she turned to look at everyone and said, "Everyone out...now"

"What?!" Sasuke shouted looking at her as if she was crazy. "I'm not leaving him with you, I don't even know you!"

"Just go, unless you don't want him and your child better?" She hissed causing Sasuke to flinch and take a threatening step closer to her. Akahana stepped between them.

"Mother that wasn't nice and Uchi San, this is how she works. We can wait right outside the door." She said pushing him towards the door.

"If you try something, I will kill you." Sasuke stated as he shrugged Akahana's hands off of him and walked out the door. Fuck this better not come back to bite him on the ass he thought sitting down next to the door. Akahana and her family soon followed him out and took places around the hallway.

"Boy, your guy is really dangerous." Whispered Akahana's mother as she went to work on the quiet Naruto. "I better be careful if I value my life...which I do." She chuckled to herself, now lets see whats wrong with you, Uzumaki.
