Funny thing, I didn't have golf practice today, but I was dead tired when I got home from school so I made a beeline for my bed instead of my computer. You'd think that would teach me that I can't run on four hours of sleep. Anyway here's that next chapter like I promised. It's much shorter and only took two days to write and speaking of writing I have the first page of chapters 9, 10, 11, and 12 all ready written. Now I need to decide on which idea I want to develop first. Oh well.. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: Everyday I daydream about being a character in Naruto with my own team, my own sensei, and my own hidden village, but never do I dream about owning Naruto. Because that's just impossible.

"Uchiha-san?" Sasuke grunted and turned away from the annoying shaking. "Uchiha-san?" He rolled away again. "Uchiha-san, please wake up. Sakura-san-" Sasuke abruptly sprang out of his chair.

"Sakura! What's happening? Where is she? Where am I?" Sasuke looked around frantically. Most of the occupants of the room had stopped to stare at him and the lady at the reception desk was smiling and waving cheerfully.

"Uchiha-san, please clam down. This is a hospital. You brought your wife in at four this morning, remember?" It was starting to come back to him. Sakura yelling at him to wake up, rushing to the hospital, staying behind in the waiting room with Sano, and then things got fuzzy after there. He must have fallen asleep somewhere along the way.

"How is she?"

"She's doing fine. Would you like to see them now?" Sasuke gave a nod and walked back to where he'd left his son. The four year old had nodded off just like his father; curled up in a ball on the chair with his overnight bag still strapped to his back.

"Sano-chan." His son mumbled something like, "Five more minutes," but otherwise ignored the gentle shaking. "Come on. You're a big brother now, Sano-chan."

"Not chan." Sano grumbled as he sat up, rubbing his eyes. He'd been protesting to the suffix ever since he figured out that he wouldn't be the baby of the family anymore.

"All right, Sano-kun." Said boy nodded approvingly at the changed suffix and climbed out of his chair. He wrapped he hand around three of Sasuke's fingers to show he was ready to go.

"This way please."

"They're right in there." The nurse had told him before leaving mere seconds ago. Sasuke was a little confused. Why was both his wife and newborn baby in the nursery? Shouldn't Sakura be in bed recovering? Despite his questions and doubts he looked through the large window anyway, scanning the room for a flash of pink or black (Of course there was a chance the baby was born bald like Sano was).

Though a baby blanket or two tricked his eyes a few times he finally spotted a baby wrapped in pink with a tiny thatch of hair an even darker shade of pink. A daughter.

He had just started swelling with pride when another flash of tiny dark pink hair caught his eyes. To the left of the crib his daughter laid in was another baby wrapped in pink. Two daughters. Sakura had twins. That was what the nurse had meant. His daughters were in here.

"I can't see." Sano whined from the ground. Being small was such a burden, but his father soon remedied that by picking him and pointing out where his siblings were located. "Still can't see. That nurse's big butt's in the way."

"Sano-kun." He was right. The nurse's big butt was in the way, but the boy was obviously spending too much time with Naruto.

"Those three are mine, right?" Three? Sasuke followed his son outstretched arm and pointing finger to three small cribs with the name Uchiha on them. Two of the cribs belonged to his pink haired daughters and in the third crib was a red haired baby wrapped in blue. Sasuke closed his eyes, rubbed them, and then looked again. Nope, there wasn't a change. The crib still said Uchiha and the baby still had red hair. That one was his too. His wife had been pregnant with triplets. . . Now that he thought about it Sasuke realized that is was very fortunate for him to fall asleep in the waiting room with Sano. With three births at once Sakura had probably (She'd done it several times actually) entertained the thought of castrating him with something dull during labor.

Eventually Sasuke and Sano were reunited the tired mother and wife; followed closely by three nurses. Each nurse carried a baby and after they'd settled them in Sakura's room two of the nurses left. The one that remained stood at the foot of Sakura's bed with a pen and clipboard in hand. "Names?" She asked.

Sasuke, who was holding their daughters in his arms, looked at Sakura. Sakura, who was holding their son and had Sano seated next to her in the bed, looked at Sasuke. They shrugged simultaneously.

"You should name him." Sasuke said after a few minutes of silence. "I mean, I named Sano-kun." It only seemed fair to him.

"And you're going to name our daughters?" Sakura asked. Did her husband even know any girl names?"

"I probably shouldn't." He said about as sheepishly as he possibly could.

"Well, I'm not naming all three. I did all the hard work, all ready." The poor forgotten nurse fidgeted nervously.

"Sano-kun, can name his brother." Sano, who was playing with baby brother's feet, looked up at his father and visible lit up with excitement at the suggestion.

"Umm," the forgotten nurse drew the attention back to herself. "Names?" She asked again.

This time Sakura looked at her daughters. The baby on Sasuke's left arm was the oldest of the triplets. "Tsubame." She looked at the baby on Sasuke's left arm. She was younger than her sister by two minutes and twenty-three seconds. "And Shiori."

"And the boy?" The nurse continued to fidget with her clipboard. She could just imagine Sano naming his brother Cat Pee or something just as weird.

"I know!" Sano hopped off his mother's bed and ran to the corner where he'd left his overnight bag. He pulled the bag open and rummaged through it before emerging from it triumphantly holding a graphic novel. "Let's name him Sena!" Sano ran back to his parents and the nurse and showed off the comic. "He's my favorite character from Eyeshield 21."

". . . . ." Sasuke was the first to speak.

"You want to name your brother after a comic book character?" Sakura wished he hadn't.

The nurse flinched. That name was a lot better than Cat Pee. In fact it was a very good name. Maybe the rumors about that man having ice in his veins were true.

"You-you think it's a bad idea?" Sano had thought he'd chosen a great name. Did his father disprove of it because it was based off a person who wasn't real? Did this mean he didn't get to name his brother?

"Nurse," Sasuke addressed the woman, who really just wanted to escape this awkward moment by sinking into the floor, instead of answering his son. "Their names are Uchiha Tsubame." Really what was she thinking? Sinking into the floor was asking for the impossible. "Uchiha Shiori." She stood a much better chance of being struck by lighting. In fact if that man broke his son's heart she prayed lighting struck her so she wouldn't witness the hell he wife would bring down upon his head. "And Uchiha Sena."

The nurse smiled as she recorded the names down. The rumors were wrong.

"And one more thing." Sasuke said, suddenly remembering an extremely important detail. He grabbed Sakura's suitcase and dug through it until he found what he was looking for. Once he had it in his hands he carried it into the room's bathroom and closed the door. Seconds later the sound of the flushing toilet could be heard. Sasuke walked back out the bathroom with a smile of someone who'd just accomplished something vital.

"What did you flush down the toilet?" Nothing irreplaceable, Sakura hoped.

"Those conception pills. That worked too damn well."

I'm starting to think that I missed the humor in Chapter 7 because I read the jokes so many times, but hell if other people find them funny who am I to judge?
