A/N: Second chapter. Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Your reviews definitely made me want to continue this story. Thank you.
Azura, and Sakura will be minor characters in this story, since it is a NaruSasu story. I might write a sidefic about them, but they'll play pretty big parts in this story -- being friends with our lovely couple.
Other pairings will be decided as the story goes on.
Now, enjoy, and don't forget to review. Please.
-----------
Naruto was in the kitchen, finishing cooking the ramen, when he heard Sasuke bolt towards the bathroom.
Odd.
He was sick? When he'd left Sasuke on the couch, the Uchiha had been fine. What had happened in those three minutes? Sasuke hadn't eaten anything since they'd woken up that morning, so what was going on?
Naruto set the bowls of ramen onto the kitchen counter, and made his way towards the bathroom. "Sasuke?"
Sasuke didn't look so well, and Naruto didn't think he had ever seen Sasuke so miserable. His mate was hunched over the toilet, violently sick -- gagging, vomiting, and then gagging again with wet moans. Sasuke wondered why he was so sick -- he'd been fine two minutes before, and he hadn't eaten anything either. He moaned softly, closing his eyes.
"Naruto…" He whispered softly, before vomiting once again.
Naruto frowned. He strode into the bathroom, and sat next to the sick Uchiha. He pulled Sasuke's bangs from his face with one hand, while his other rubbed soothing circles upon his back.
Sasuke groaned. He felt absolutely terrible, but now that Naruto was here, he felt slightly better.
After three minutes, the nauseousness disappeared. Sasuke sat back, leaning against Naruto's muscular chest, and closed his eyes. Thank kami-sama that was over. He'd never felt that terrible, or miserable in his entire life -- not even when Itachi had killed their entire clan had he felt this horrible.
Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's middle -- careful not to squeeze his mate, and cause him to vomit again. "Here," he whispered, wiping his mate's mouth of the vomit with toilet paper. Naruto would take him to Tsunade after he got Sasuke to eat something, and after Sasuke had a shower.
"Thanks…" Sasuke whispered hoarsely. His throat was raw, and scratchy from vomiting as much as he had.
Naruto nodded. He threw the toilet paper into the toilet, and flushed it. Being very cautious of the sick mate in his arms, he stood up -- helping Sasuke up as he stood. As he got to his feet, his grip of his frail husband tightened.
"I'm going to take you to baa-chan," Naruto kissed Sasuke's head. "After you shower of course." He let go of Sasuke -- first making sure that Sasuke could stand on his own.
"I'll be here if you need me."
Sasuke groaned softly, but nodded. He was starting to feel nauseous again, but surprisingly, he didn't vomit -- not yet, anyway. He did feel dizzy, however, and his breathing came out in heavy gasps. He squeezed his eyes shut, hoping that the sickness would pass, but he felt a hundred times worse when he closed his eyes, and in the end, he doubled over, and vomited again -- narrowly missing the toilet bowl. Sasuke winced as the smell of his acidic vomit hit his nose, and he vomited again.
Naruto swore. "Shit…" He grabbed a giant wad of toilet paper, and wiped Sasuke's mouth. He carefully picked Sasuke up, carrying him bridal style towards the bathtub, and set him on the edge of the tub. Naruto pressed a kiss to Sasuke's clammy forehead, before looking at the mess on the floor by the toilet. He definitely needed to take Sasuke to Tsunade, so they could find out what was going on with the avenger.
He walked towards the mess. Kneeling down, he began to clean the mess with the giant wad of toilet paper. When he was done, he threw the soiled toilet paper into the toilet and flushed the toilet.
Sasuke moaned softly, catching Naruto's attention. The foxy blond was at his side almost instantly; ready to help his sick mate.
"What is it Sasuke?" Naruto asked him, upon reaching said boy's side. He placed a hand on Sasuke's forehead -- making sure the boy didn't have a fever, which he didn't. But he was no medical ninja, so he'd have to take Sasuke to Tsunade.
"I f-feel h-horrible," he whispered.
Naruto pulled Sasuke towards his body, and held him close. "Lets get you cleaned up, alright?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Do you need me, or do you want to do it by yourself?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto through tired eyes. "I think I can manage," He sighed softly. "But…will you be here incase I need you?"
Naruto nodded. "Of course."
"Thank you," Sasuke's lips curved into a small smile. "Thank you for everything."

Tsunade had a pile of paperwork to do, and she definitely wasn't happy about this -- the amount of money the hidden leaf village owed was insane. She growled softly, and took a sip of sake -- she really, really needed vacation.
A knock on the door interrupted her, thanking the gods, she looked at the closed door.
"Come in."
She didn't expect to see Naruto and Sasuke together so soon after their lovers spat -- if you'd even call it that. Her eyes widened slightly upon seeing Sasuke -- he was paler than usual, and he was leaning his full weight against Naruto. When they'd left less than an hour ago, he didn't look as terrible as he did currently.
"What is going on?"
Naruto kissed Sasuke's forehead, and helped Sasuke into one of the comfy chairs in front of Tsunade's desk. "Sasuke's sick," Tsunade looked at Sasuke -- well, that she could tell. "I dunno what's wrong. He was fine when I left him in the living room, but then, he ran to the bathroom and began to puke."
Tsunade frowned. "Hm, maybe he caught something from the mission, and it is just now beginning to take affect?" She was asking herself this question. Maybe it was just something the boy had picked up from a foreign country, but Tsunade knew she'd have to perform a full physical on the Uchiha heir.
"Well, whatever it is, its bad."
Sasuke groaned softly. Tsunade looked at him, and felt sorry for the Uchiha -- she'd never seen him that miserable in her entire life. Whatever he'd caught had been bad -- probably was as bad as Naruto said. "Alright, I'll perform a full physical on you Uchiha."
Sasuke nodded.
*
Tsunade didn't find anything wrong with Sasuke, except that he was injured from the night before -- bruised ribs, and sprained wrist were some of the injuries he'd sustained. She'd deducted that his sudden sickness was something he'd caught from the country their mission had been in, so she gave him medication for the sickness.
Naruto wasn't very happy with the results, but he couldn't argue with one of the best medical ninja in all of Konoha. He'd just have to wait to see if the medicine she'd given them would work for Sasuke's condition.
When they'd reached home, Naruto gave Sasuke the medicine, and tucked his sickly mate into their bed. He waited until Sasuke fell asleep, before he began to cook for himself. He hadn't eaten anything, since he'd been caring for his mate, and was extremely hungry.
Naruto sat in front of the fire, eating his ramen noodles. He watched the fire consume the logs, and sighed -- wondering if Tsunade was right about Sasuke. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, it was just that he felt that something else was wrong with his hot headed husband and mate. He looked at the ring on his finger, and smiled. Married, finally.
Naruto's head snapped up upon hearing a knocking on the door of the Uchiha manor. Setting his empty ramen bowl on the ground, the foxy ninja headed towards the door. Naruto reached the door, and opened it -- revealing his two female teammates -- Azura and Sakura. He smiled.
"Hey Naru-chan, I heard you and Uchiha are married," Azura said, smiling. Her light blue eyes sparkled in amusement. "And I wasn't invited to the wedding?" She'd been gone on a mission for nearly three years, just returning thirty minutes prior to that moment, so she hadn't heard about their marriage until recently. Naruto hadn't seen her since he brought Sasuke back from the valley of the end. He noted that she had grown up since the last time they'd seen each other -- the young kunoichi had grown taller, reaching six foot, three two inches. Her olive skin had darkened slightly, and her black hair longer -- the streak in her hair now silver.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Yes, we're married, but it was a drunken marriage." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
Azura laughed. "Really? Where's the lucky bride?"
"He's sick."
Sakura and Azura looked at one another. Sakura was asking herself what had happened since they'd left the hokage's office -- he didn't look sick then, so what was it? "Did you go to Tsunade-sama?"
Naruto nodded, growling softly as he remembered what she had told them. "Yes, she says its nothing, but I think its something serious."
Azura smiled softly, and nodded. "He's resting, isn't he?"
Naruto nodded. "yes," he smiled, opening the door wider. "Come in."
***
Sasuke rolled onto his back -- ignoring the pain radiating from his back, and well, his entire body. His nauseousness had passed him -- thank the gods. Tsunade's medicine had worked well -- worked wonders on his body, but he still felt like crap. He brushed his bangs from his forehead, and sat up -- contemplating whether or not to get out of bed, and converse with the others in the house. After a second of thinking, Sasuke decided that he'd try to get out of bed.
Naruto poured both of his friends, and former teammates a cup of tea. Sakura was quite surprised that he even knew how to make tea, and without burning the house down -- that was a miracle. Upon hearing the footsteps of his sick mate, Naruto turned around -- turning to face him. "Sasuke."
Sasuke padded towards Naruto, yawning. His fingers tugged at the edge of his oversized t-shirt. "I feel weird Naruto," he whispered softly. "Maybe Tsunade-sama's medicine is wearing off."
Naruto placed a small kiss to Sasuke's forehead, and purred softly. "Do you want me to rub your tummy?" he placed a hand on Sasuke's stomach, and began to gently rub Sasuke's tummy, while purring softly in Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke leaned in to the touch, and moaned softly. A light blush dusted his cheeks. He didn't know what was going on with his body, but he didn't mind the attention he was getting from his blond haired husband.
Azura and Sakura looked at each other, before smiling softly. They were both very happy that the two of them were together. Azura wasn't mad about this, because she knew she'd never be more than a friend to Sasuke -- even when they were younger, and Naruto -- well, she always knew that Naruto loved the Uchiha heir. Even though she'd just recently found out about Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura couldn't feel any jealousy, or anger in her heart -- she was happy that they were together -- glad that Naruto made Sasuke happy.
Well, if either one broke the other's heart, she'd definitely be on their asses, trying to get them back together.
Sakura leaned into Azura, and whispered in her ear. "Cute, huh?"
Azura nodded. "Yeah," she sighed softly. "I feel so outta place here -- they need to be alone. I mean, it is supposed to be their honeymoon."
Sakura nodded. "You're right."
Naruto smiled. He noticed that the girls were leaving, so he turned around with Sasuke in his arms. "Leaving?" he asked, a blond brow arched.
"We…um, we don't want to be in the way," Sakura said, smiling. "You're technically on your honeymoon…so, I think we should leave you to do…. ahem…honeymoon stuff." Sakura blushed as she said this, thinking about what those words could imply -- oh, Naruto and Sasuke naked -- Naruto fucking Sasuke. Sakura heard a gasp and a snicker, and looked at Azura. Said girl was staring at her face, while Naruto's lips were curved into a devious, foxy smile.
"Um, Sakura…your nose is bleeding." Azura whispered softly. She was slightly amused at the fact that Sakura had gotten a nosebleed from something as innocent as honeymoon stuff. Then it clicked -- oh, the sex thing.
Upon hearing this, Sakura brought her hand to her nose -- feeling wetness. Shit. She was bleeding, and that was from thinking about Naruto and Sasuke having sex. Sakura wondered what she would do if she actually saw them having sex.
Naruto purred softly. "Are you okay Sakura-chaan?"
"I'm fine -- I just…" She looked at Sasuke, and smiled. "Never mind lets go Azura."
Azura giggled softly. "All right Sakura," she looked at Sasuke and his amused mate. "Later. Hope you feel better Sasuke."
***
After the girls had left, Naruto went to his apartment; so said boy could pack his belongings, and move into the Uchiha manor. Sasuke had told him that he would be fine for a couple of hours -- if he felt terrible, he would take some of Tsunade's medicine, and lie down. He was doing just that -- lying down -- until he felt movement in his stomach.
Sasuke placed a hand on his stomach -- wincing as a sharp pain shot through his stomach. Once again, the Uchiha was very aware of his stomach clenching, and his nauseousness returned. He gagged. Leaning over the side of his bed, the Uchiha vomited into the bowl Naruto had placed in the room before he left.
"Ugh," he moaned, wiping the vomit from his mouth with his sleeve. Why did he feel so terrible? Could it be the after affects of drinking alcohol? No, it wasn't that, so what was it? Sasuke's eyes widened. Was he …pregnant? No, he couldn't be -- I mean, he was a guy, and guys didn't get pregnant…did they? Oh no, no, no…he couldn't be. He wasn't ready to be a father at seventeen years old -- he still had things he wanted to do -- like kill Itachi before he had children. If he weren't pregnant, he'd have plenty of time to enjoy being with Naruto -- just the two of them. But he was, then they'd have one hell of a responsibility, and he'd have to put off his revenge for a couple of years.
Well, there was only one way to find out. He'd need to get a pregnancy test. But the question was, how? How was he going to get one? People wouldn't believe their eyes if they saw Sasuke Uchiha shopping for a pregnancy test, so, he'd have to get someone -- like Sakura or Azura to get him one.
Right, call Azura.
The Uchiha sat up -- careful not to cause himself more pain, and reached for the phone on the bedside table. He grabbed the cordless from its charger, and dialed her number. On the second ring she picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Azura…I need you to do a favour for me."
"Sure, what is it?"
Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek. "Could you …um, go down to the store and get me," he took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. Right, he could do this -- simple. Azura would do it for him -- she was his teammate, and one of his only female friends. "A pregnancy test?" he whispered that last part.
Silence. "What?"
"Yeah, I'll explain everything once you get the test, and bring it to me."
A sigh. "Okay Sasuke."
Sasuke hung up, feeling slightly better.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Sasuke groaned softly, and opened his tired eyes. He looked at the window -- it was nearly twilight, and Naruto wasn't back yet -- hopefully Sakura or Tsunade-sama were keeping him busy until he found out if the Uchiha was pregnant or not.
"Here Sasuke." Azura said, upon entering the bedroom he and Naruto shared. She handed him the pregnancy test, and raised an elegant brow. "So tell me, why?"
Sasuke took the pregnancy test from Azura, and sighed. "I think I'm pregnant…I d-don't know if its possible, but, I think I am."
"Hm, you could be," she sat on the bed. She placed her hand on her chest. "Oh, wow. Little Sasuke is growing up." She chuckled lightly. With her laughter, Sasuke felt better -- at ease even.
"Now, lets take that test." she said, taking the box from Sasuke's hand. She began to read the box containing the pee stick. She raised a brow, and looked at Sasuke. "I hope you have to pee…"
Sasuke gave her an impassive look. "What?"
"yes, little Sasuke, you've got to pee on this thing -- that's what tells you you're pregnant."
Sasuke groaned. "That's fucking nasty." Is that what women did to find out they were pregnant?
Azura shrugged. She took the pregnancy test out of the box, and handed it to Sasuke. "Here," she smiled.
Sasuke took it from Azura, eyeing it carefully. He didn't want to do that, but what choice did he have? Groaning, he stood up -- slowly -- he didn't want to vomit again for what seemed like the hundredth time, and walked into the bathroom.
***
Azura paced the floor in the dining room, occationally pausing to look at the strip, and at the clock. She was as nervous as Sasuke was -- she actually wanted Sasuke to be pregnant, so he'd forget about his revenge for his brother, Itachi.
Sasuke growled softly. Damn waiting time -- why did everything have to have a fucking waiting time! He wanted the results right away. Sensing his discomfort, Azura suggested that he make himself a cup of tea -- to calm his nerves. He walked into the kitchen, and turned on the stove. The Uchiha heir closed his eyes -- his heart pounded in his ears. He was so fucking nervous -- he didn't even know if he was going to be a good father -- he wasn't even a good friend…
Azura picked the pregnancy test up with her left hand, while her right rested on her heart. She glanced down at the stick -- it was positive -- holy shit, Sasuke was pregnant. A soft smile tugged at the corners of her luscious lips as she stared at the plus sign on the stick. Wow, finally, the Uchiha clan was going to be restored.
Sasuke rubbed his temples. He was starting to get annoyed. His annoyance only increased when he heard Azura's footsteps running towards him. He opened his eyes to find himself staring into the eyes of his friend -- she looked quite happy, and smug. He stared at her impassively. "What?"
"You're gonna have a baby!" Sasuke's eyes widened -- what? He was pregnant? Wow…He looked down, and placed his hand on his tummy -- marveling the movement underneath his hand.
"I…I…wow." Was all he could say. How was he going to tell Naruto? How was he going to tell the dobe that he was having a baby -- their baby?
"How am I going to tell Naruto?"
They didn't notice another figure enter the kitchen. "Tell me what Sasuke?" It was Naruto. He had just come back from his errands, and all he wanted to do was lie in bed with his mate.
Sasuke jumped, and paled. Oh kami-sama give me strength.
"Um, I'm going to leave…I think this is a family affair." Azura said, putting emphasis on the family, despite Sasuke's pleading look. She shook her head, smiling softly. "Good night Sasuke, Naruto." She turned around, heading for the door. "Good luck little Sasuke."
A brow rose. Naruto looked at Sasuke before looking at the retreating form of their former teammate. He set his things down, and walked towards Sasuke. What was he hiding from his mate? What had Azura meant by family affair? Naruto wrapped his arms around his mate, and kissed the top of the shorter man's head. "What is it Sasuke?"
Sasuke sighed. "I…I know what's wrong with me Naruto."
Naruto stiffened slightly. "What? He whispered, almost afraid of what Sasuke would say.
"I-I'm p-pregnant…"
Sasuke was expecting his mate to say something. At least one word, but he got nothing but silence. Sasuke frowned -- wasn't his husband happy? Wouldn't he say just one word? Sasuke felt tears gather in his eyes, and closed his eyes. A loud thump broke him out of his thoughts, and he turned around to find Naruto sprawled on the floor -- great, he'd passed out. Just what he needed -- dead weight. He didn't know if he would be able to carry Naruto in his condition. "Dobe." He kicked Naruto with his foot.
Naruto groaned.
"Dobe, get your lazy ass up." He kicked his husband again. Gee, some husband -- fainting at the news. Fainting was usually something women did, not men -- and not fully grown men like Uzumaki.
Naruto groaned again. He opened his eyes, finding himself staring into the cold eyes of his mate, and husband. What? Oh, he saw hurt, and anger flicker in the Uchiha's cold eyes. Then he remembered -- he was going to be a father. Oh…wow… Naruto's eyes rolled back into his skull.
Sasuke growled. Great. Stupid dobe, fainting.
Review please.
