Chapter 15: Are you kidding me!?
Itachi 23 years old, OC 18 years old
January
Our honey moon only lasted two weeks mostly filled with sex and romance and I´m sure that if Jiraiya had the chance to only watch a little of what we had done he would have enough material for a live long series of Icha Icha. When anyone asked how the honey moon was I would turn beet red and Itachi would emit smugness and male pride all day long.
It was now a whole week after we came back that in the morning I felt terrible sick and rushed over to the toilet. It took a little time until I felt like I could sit up safely and turned to the little cabinet under the faucet. I let out a sight knowing what this sudden sickness meant, I´m no one to get suddenly so sick and after those two weeks there was only one option left.
I pulled out one of the pregnancy tests Ino pushed into my hands after I came back.
I sighted again after making the test and waited.
"Why did I do that when I already knew the result" a positive test was staring back at me and I let my head drop into my hands. I wasn´t sad or angry about the result, I was happy even when I was a bit unsure about being a mother so early, it was more about that dam bet and the expectation of the people why I felt a bit bad about this.
I left the bathroom and even our home standing before the door with resignation.
"ANBU-san, please tell my husband to come over to the hospital and maybe a fast one of you could rush over to the Hokage to come for an appointment with me at the hospital" With that I left and dragged myself up to said building.
Entering Tsunade already waited for me and directed me into an empty examination room and told me to lay down on the stretch.
"I don´t think I need to ask why you are here, should we wait for your husband?"
"I´m already here" Itachis voice rang from the window as he closed it.
"Alright" Tsunade nodded and I pulled my pullover up letting her green glowing hand touch my abdomen.
"Tch, brat congratulation you are getting to be a father" Tsunade said.
"How far along?" Itachi asked only to have Tsunade getting an angry face.
"Three weeks you animal" and with that she threw a bag with money over to him.
It took a few seconds until it dawned to me.
"You placed a bet!?"
"On our Wedding night, my dear" I shoved my rage on my hormones.
"YOU! How can you plan such a thing and even success!"
"You did what Itachi!?" Mikoto voice rang from the door.
"Impregnate my lovely wife at the first night of our honey moon and winning the bet"
"Oh, well done my son you earned your money" and with that she also handed him some money.
"I can´t believe this" I sat up and looked at the culprit.
"So she is pregnant with my sons child?" Fugaku also entered the room.
"Yes, she is, he successfully knocked our dear Yuuki up on their first day on the honeymoon."
Father and son shared a look and Itachi gave him half of his price and I was now beyond fuming.
"Good job son" in any other mood my jaw maybe would have dropped but right now it was locked in anger. I stood up and went in two steps up to the door opening it a bit to go outside, but before I left I turned to them or more to Itachi.
"You never asked me if I wanted to have a child so early" I would even have found it funny if I didn´t had doubts about myself if I could be a good mother when I had myself just reached adulthood...it wasn´t the same as parenthood, damm it I was scared, I know next to nothing how to care for such a fragile live, yeah I read about it I even had a nephew in my former live, but I was too scared to even hold him not wanting to accidently hurt him.
With these thoughts swamping my mind I entered our home and sat down at the kitchen table feeling how my hand shook from the fear, the doubt. I ran them slowly through my hair in the attempt to calm myself down, but it didn´t helped at all.
"Yuuki...you don´t want to have it?" My head snapped up to look in the sad eyes of my husband who eyed my belly.
"Don´t even suggest that as a joke. I would never reject it." I saw the relief in his eyes and I felt again anger bubbling up in me.
"But did you ever thought of it that I may not be ready yet? That I wanted to talk with you about to wait at least until I´m 20? Did you think about me when you did this to me?" Ok even I now the last was a bit overbroad but try telling that to your hormones.
"You agreed to this when you married me Yuuki, you know what was expected" Is face turned blank like he closed himself off from me.
"I´m sorry Itachi, I´m just so scared. I know you are right and I also know that I maybe never would have been ready. A new life is so fragile I don´t want to lose it, I don´t want to make mistakes, but I know I will." My hand shook even while I pressed them down on the table.
His own warm hands were placed over my own pulling them up for his lips to grace them with some kisses.
"You aren´t alone and believe me I´m also nervous, but we will manage Yuuki, I also didn´t do this for the bet I did it because I wanted a family...in the end" he hesitated at the last words.
"In the end?" I was a bit confused.
"I didn´t plan this...I uhm...just loved you that much" He looked away but I still caught the blush on his face and stared mouth wide open.
"Wait you want to tell me that you simply went crazy with lust and when you came back to sense you thought it wouldn´t be bad when I will end up pregnant because you wanted to have a family with me?" He huffed but I saw the confirmation in his eyes that it was exactly like that and I busted out with laughter making him pout a bit.
"I couldn´t help myself with such a beautiful wife" He pulled me up from my chair and hugged me.
"We are in this together, we will manage and you will be a wonderful mother" he kissed my forehead, caressing my cheek and I let out a sight. The fear faded slowly at the thought of having him at my side through this.
"You better be prepared Itachi, I will be having morning sickness, strange cravings at strange times and my hormones will be all over the place and it won´t be better when the child is born." He only chuckled.
"We will see, my light" He nuzzled his nose in my hair.
"Tsunade wants to see you for a check up in a month" I nodded and slowly pulled away.
"Want some lunch here?"
"I would like that" and with that I went into the kitchen feeling his eyes follow my every move.
One thing I began to hate about being pregnant was this vomiting at the morning, something I really despite and it made me look so pathetic before my dear husband that decided to go to work later for helping me to hold my hairs while I hung over the white rim of the toilet. He also began to cook our breakfast because he wanted to make sure I ate after throwing up. I mostly grumbled only at him, but we both know that I apprentice it that he cared for me.
"Is it alright for you to show up so late?" I asked him.
"They can´t say anything against it" at that I only raised my eyebrows.
"I must go now. I´m sure mother will show up anytime and want to talk with you, maybe she can help you with your doubts, show you some of the things to make you feel better." He gave me a kiss, a smile and left.
Only moments later I heard a knock on the door and opening it I found Mikoto with the other girls behind her.
"I thought you could use some female support" I smiled and invited them inside.
They gathered in the living room and I went and made some tea for them. Setting down the tray and give each a cup I sat down and smiled at them. I was first bombarded with congratulations and then a lot of questions until Mikoto cut in.
"Yuuki dear and you girls I´m here to help you all, for most naturally you Yuuki, but the others could use the tips also" with these words she pulled from her bag a little book.
"Take notes girls" I hastily rushed to one of the shelfs grabbing a block and some pencils giving them around.
"First not all of these would also work for you, but it can´t hurt to test them or use at a base to search for the right thing to help you, because each pregnancy is a bit different" we all sat before her jotting the said down and nodded.
"For morning sickness try some ginger tea, best cold, when ginger doesn´t help ask the old lady from the ´Tea heaven´ store she has a lot of experience and could find the right tea for you." Again you could her the scrapping from pencils against paper.
"Your cravings would be in a wide range, don´t ignore them, let your husband or the father of the child hunt the things you need, a tip for him is the big 24 hour ´Sunny´ kiosk at the Toshija street, they have a lot of things that can be bought when you should have your cravings at 2am" some more nodding, I was slowly getting glad for having Mikoto as a stepmother.
"Your hormones will act not as normally, sometimes they would only make you a bit giddy and nothing else or sometimes you would have a change of emotion like every second, you can´t really control them but I managed somehow by drinking some herbal tea beside the ginger one just ask the old lady she will know which to give you...and eating, not too much but enough to keep your cravings satisfied each one not only the one concerning for food." I really would go the next day and buy these things.
"Regular check ups, not carry to heavy thing will help a bit with your back and feet. Later into the pregnancy they will begin to hurt, ask for massages, best with a crème made by Tsunade-hime, from your husband-"
"So you mean our husband will be our slave for that time?" That statement from Ino was followed by a short silent.
"Don´t let him hear that and better don´t work him too hard or it would only end an argument straining your nerves"
´She didn´t denied it!´
A picture of Itachi wearing a pink flurry apron cooking, cleaning and giving me a foot massages. I sipped the tea a wrong way and spit it out a bit between laughing-coughing and Mikoto gave me a knowing look.
"And I also bought something for early practice" she put the notebook away and pulled a baby doll with a little blanket out of her bag.
"A bird told me you are a bit unsure how to handle a baby, I will help you and you girls better get also some training in it never could hurt." And with that she showed us how to hold a baby right for simply holding, for feeding and how to carry them best and slowly my fears dissolved and again I was glad that Mikoto showed us this.
"When you like we could do this more often until you begin to feel comfortable with this" at her word tears sprung to my eyes and I threw my arms around her.
"Thank you really"
"No problem dear as Itachi said you aren´t alone in this and I would also be more than happy to help you with this" We all continued this while drinking tea and eating cookies until the sun began to set.
"Oh before I forget, buy some large dresses or skirts you won´t like to wear trousers in a few months" after a last hug they all went their way home and I went into the kitchen making dinner.
"I´m home" a soft kiss landed on the crow of my head and two arms came around me to rest over my belly.
"Welcome home" I turned around and he made place for me to place down the dinner.
As usual we ate in a comfortable silence and finishing it we both cleaned the dishes.
"How was your day?" He asked as we went upstairs.
"Wonderful actually, you know what?" I stopped two steps above him looking him straight in his eyes.
"Hn?"
"I love you" I smiled and pulled him into a kiss, one that I deepened before ending it.
"I want you" my lips ghosted over his before they were captured in another hot kiss that curled my toes. Itachi more than fulfilled his role of a husband that night.
3rd POV
A man had seen her entering the hospital and how she was ushered into an examination room it wasn´t long until voices were heard and the man gathered that the woman was pregnant, three weeks along. "Perfect" he said to himself making haste to the secret passage outside and over to his masters cave.
"News?" The dark voice asked, he mimed the patience man but you could hear from the voice his excitement.
"Yes she is pregnant, three weeks along" the other man knelt waiting for the new orders.
"Continue to watch report back when the genre is determined I don´t think Fugaku will that let it be a surprise" the master was pleased meaning for the man some rewards.
"I will do that" with a bow he went back to the hospital.
3rd POV End
Straight after breakfast I went over to my actual working place with a letter from Tsunade.
"Good morning" I cheered but all that I got were some death glares from under some mountains of paper.
"Nice from you to show up at your working place, thought you forgot that you have a job" Shikaku said nonchalant from his desk sipping some coffee.
"Ha..ha...ha uhm sorry" I sweat dropped and handed him the letter that he only skipped over with his eyes.
"Tss the worst cases I will have delivered to your place, you won´t get of the hook just because you are pregnant, you aren´t sick."
"So home office?" A nod.
"You are well?" He looked at me with slight concern.
"Yes, I only need to get some things to get through this more smoothly and I´m really sorry for let you hanging for so long" I bowed to them before I left the office, I like my job, but I can´t handle all of these things happening at once.
I left the building and went straight for the tea store Mikoto recommended one that was bustling with customers a good sign that this shop really was good.
I looked a bit around, I loved the smell of tea sometimes I want to make a sent bag and hang them into the library.
"Excuse me can I help you?" An elder woman spoke to me wearing a name tag saying"Hitomie".
"Ah hai, I´m in need for ginger tea and some herbal one for pregnancy"
"Ah, you must be Yuuki Uchiha, I have heard from you carrying possible the next heir of the Uchiha clan, hohoho I have the right things for you just wait a moment." Some other women heard her talking and began mumbling behind my back.
"Here I even will give you a little discount for them" There were now two big bags of tea sitting on the counter and I paid for them moved over to the hospital asking for Tsunade who only sent Shizune down with a batch of crème.
After that I went for cloth shopping all the while I felt again eyes watching me and because of that I only bought some dresses without putting them on and went home fast.
Talking with Itachi about my day I mentioned it.
"Itachi...I´m really concerned, I still getting the feeling being watched and not from your ANBU..." I trailed off looking at him being to think about when the best moment would be to tell him why my current situation made me more paranoid than before.
"Sadly, we didn´t found any hints of someone following you" I saw the short flicker of uncertainly in his eyes, one that could tell you that someone didn´t believe you.
"I-. I understand" I lowered my head a bit to hide the hurt on my face, but I also knew I´m withholding information, some not unimportant ones.
? POV
For two weeks I couldn´t find her, that savage of a Uchiha married her and bought her to somewhere away to enjoy the pleasure of her body, by the thought alone rage shook my body. And then she came back and only a week after she went to the hospital, having my rat there I could hear the impossible, regnant, my flower was pregnant with an Uchiha bastard, something that I will correct, just a bit more time and everything would be ready. "just you wait a little bit more, a few days is only what I need" and with that I melted back into the dark. I didn´t knew it would take a bit more than a few days.
? POV End
Shortly before the appointment with Tsunade I felt the paranoia increase into the unbearable and began looking over my shoulders every few second whenever I left the house and even inside I felt being watched.
And Itachi didn´t believe me, no maybe he did but no one find the source of my fears. Still I didn´t told him and it was eating at me now, I planned to tell him while the check up together with Tsunade who could provide some more accurate information about this.
I paced the living room I felt uneasy and I was thinking of inviting the ANBUs inside. I straightened my spine and went for the door when I hear and explosion somewhere down the street something must have happened. I had my hand on the door knob when I felt a cloth cover over my mouth and an arm around my waist one that sent cold shivers down my spine, it felt so wrong. I knew I shouldn´t breath but I did and I felt my sight darkening.
"Finally...mine, my blossom" I tried to struggle, but the drug worked fast and darkness took over.
3rd POV
The ANBUs watching Yuuki were some fresh ones being in the rank for about a month or two others would say that is long but inside ANBU you would still be called green.
When the explosion occurred they went to check it out for any danger for their "luggage", but there was none just kids playing with explosive tags, coming back to the house they checked for the girl. It was then that they began to sweat...she wasn´t there.
"Should we follow the trail...or alert the other ANBUs?" They hesitated a grave mistake as it would proof itself for them later.
"I think Uchiha-taicho would want to know about this, stay and try to find a lead"
"I´m not that good at tracking..." They both made hast to the ANBU HQ and stormed into a training session of some older ANBUs and Uchiha Itachi, who snapped around.
"Why aren´t you on your post?"
"That bitch got herself kidnapped" It was eerily silent and it took all two seconds to note that the Uchiha had already left.
Itachi found Kakashi in a training ground with his former students.
"Kakashi I need your tracking skills, NOW!" The silver haired ex-ANBU didn´t ask just followed the Uchiha to his house and Kakashi didn´t even need to ask just summoned his pack.
"Yo Kakashi for what do you need us?"
"Yuuki was kidnapped, find her!" The pack nodded and headed inside the house catching the scent of their target.
"A rat took her...at least the person smells like one" A sharp look from the Uchiha and the pack gave chase.
In the meantime, in the ANBU HQ
"Did you just called his wife a bitch?" Wolf asked the two, the dead man walking.
"Isn´t she? You all dislike her also and we heard rumours, beside she is playing house now doing nothing all day living a rich live now that she snagged herself our Taichou and got knocked up"
"You two are dead should he ever hear of this, we at least have the sense to keep this thought to ourselves"
"They are already dead, whatever he sees in her, he loves her and he really hate it when people calls her names"
"She is a weakness" one muttered under his breath.
"Getting kidnapped, he should have chosen someone stronger than her" This went on for a moment until a shadow moved and closed in on the group.
"I hope you don´t think of escaping, we will find you" The ANBUs heads snapped to the person only to meet deep red sharigan. Shisui only left a confused group behind in favour to catch up to his baby cousin.
3rd POV End
I woke up slowly, my eyes fluttered open and at first everything was blurry so I concentrated on other things. I felt something like a mattress under me, but she felt old and cold to the skin of my cheeks. It didn´t felt any restrains on my person. It smelled muggy and when I opened my eyes again they began to focus. I laid in a room around me were stonewalls and I couldn´t make out any form of light beside the little bit that came from under a door. No sound was hear for a moment until I could make out the sound of footsteps. I tried to stand up and made ma way wobbly over to the door looking for how she opened and tried to hide behind it when she opened.
"Blossom?"
I threw myself against the door surprising whoever opened it. I had a hold on the door and swung it back open and jumped over the figure on the floor holding his nose I just ran in the hope to find the exit fast. It looked like a cave, like a hideout from Orochimaru, but it wasn´t because I would have been already killed by a trap if it would have been one of his hideouts.
I turned around a corner and felt the caress of air and my hope swelled up only to shatter a t the feeling of arms wounding around me throwing me on my back. I hit the floor hard and saw floor a moment flecks dancing in my sight.
"Now now my blossom don´t run from your new husband" the voice was slimy and I felt goose bumps breaking out on my whole body. He reached a hand out and I tried to crawl backwards away from him only to hit a wall.
"Don´t touch me" I hissed with as much anger as I could muster through my fear.
"Oh I will do more than that, but first I must take care of this... unfortunate thing inside of you"
A moment before I felt fear, now something else run through my body.
He threatened my child, he threatened my family, that won´t do.
Anger, hot white anger and the feeling of pure protectiveness for the life growing inside me were overwhelming and I threw my fear over board and lunged at him with everything an angry mother could do.
3rd POV
The man who kidnapped Yuuki was sloppy, a ninja but not enough to hide his trail from a true tracker. Shisui catches up and they now stood before a cave.
"We need a pla-" Kakashi began only to looked a bit stunned at Itachi kicking in the door without a care of the world what was behind it and went in.
"You really tried to reason with him?" Shisui asked with a raised brow following his cousin.
Kakashi shrugged and then went after them only not so far into the hideout he found an interesting scene.
Itachi stood there watching with something akin to pride while Shisui was shaking with barley suppressed laughter and even Kakashi found himself bracing against a wall trying to keep the sound inside.
There was Yuuki sitting on the stomach of probably her captor, which tried to get her off or defends his face but failing miserably his face already looked like he was attacked by a cat and then by a wall.
"Yuuki" Itachis voice was normal getting her attention. Being distracted the kidnapper threw her off and stood up letting the laughter die down, but it looked like Yuuki wasn´t done she was up in a flash and executed a perfect tornado kick against the guy sending him twirling into the wall creating a little crater and knocking the guy out.
"Nice kick Yuuki" Shisui whistled, but she didn´t listened and headed over to the guy only to be stopped by Itachi.
"Take him into custom" He directed at the other two.
"Let me go I´m not done with him" Oh she was angry, more than angry, looking like a tigress not done with her prey.
"No" simple and short answer that was the Uchiha for you.
"He wanted to hurt the child, our child" She hissed still trying to get around Itachi, who in return froze and without looking back said.
"Bring him to Ibiki and explain the...situation" Jup poor guy won´t ever see the sun again.
"Calm down Yuuki, Ibiki will take over and you know how he can be when children are involved" at that she stopped and only hugged the Uchiha.
"Still..."
"I will pay him a visit, but now let us go home" and with that they left the hideout.
3rd POV End
The next morning I was firstly checked for injuries by Tsunde after that she took a look at the fetus with her chakra.
"Bastard, you utterly bastard, Uchiha" That only got her some raised eyebrows, it wasn´t new.
"Oh they are fine don´t worry" Me and Itachi both wore the same stunned expression.
"They?"
"Yes, congratulation you are getting twins, and again the Uchiha won a bet, want to know what he said hearing at the bar of the bet? He stood there arrogantly like he was and said ´at the wedding night she will get pregnant with two boys´ can you believe him!?" I didn´t heard much from that rant the word twins repeated in my head like a broken record until it struck me.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" I knew twins, I had them as brothers once, they won´t be fun, it will be hell at the beginning. I turned to my husband, anger flaring in my eyes.
"No more babies until they are five or I will let Tsunade see to it to castrate you, the boys will after all be enough for your clan" He had the audaciousness to only grin at me.
Woah a long Chapter this time, but I really didn´t want to end it with a cliffy, so hope you liked it and leave me some reviews :3
