dreamerswaking-Yeah um I was planning on him finding out when Hajime and Sasuke Jr. Turn three like on there exact birth date and I was thinking it would be really funny if Sasuke thought that Hinata was the mother instead of Naruto. What's your opinion?
allthningzANIME-Yeah I know that's what I was going for, originality, I mean. So thanks a lot! Um what do you think about Vampire fics?
Sasunarulover4life-Okay! Lets do that one! But…wait…I thought it was called '100 ways to punish Sasuke'? So I'm confused…
Blusum-I know—cry's too—But…I mean later…actually it has no benefits to the story I just felt like being sadistic a little bit, because actually fluff is a really difficult thing for me to write. Most of the time I'm into massacres and death and long states of depression before every one implodes into oblivion! Yeah so—grimaces—I'm sorry…
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Naruto woke up finding himself staring at a white wall and he couldn't help but think 'is this death' but no he doubted that when he died that there would be a desk lamp and a alarm clock set beside him. It was about seven hours after he had given birth to two precious lives. They were two things that had kept him going, possibly alive, through all of those hard times without the one who had impregnated him in this first place.
He stretched a little, his legs were cramped and his ass and back ached every time that he shifted ever the tiniest bit. The blonde was now in a backless medical slip, almost like an oversized shirt but was almost see-through and had some funky pattern on it. Weird, and defiantly different but it was comfortable, so what did it matter, really, no matter how much of a cute fool that he looked like.
Then he realized that he could actually see his feet for once in that longest life time that he had ever been in, even though they were only two hills sticking up under a colorless blanket. But he was overly excited that he could see them and make sure that they were still there! The swelling around his mid-drift had gone down, and, yes, he had a lot of excess fat but not anything that he couldn't work off in the near future if he trained hard enough.
Finally, moving his stiff neck to look around the room he noticed that it was packed with all of the people, excluding Tsunade he saw, who had been at his party. He would swear later on that they were not even laying in the floor but also on the walls that how many had been there for him. They looked at the white washed room with pretty glum expressions just to bide their time. To only turn the minutes into hours without thinking to hard on their halve awake thoughts. It had to be some time really the next morning, wasn't that was the clock next to him said?
Sakura was the first to notice that Naruto was indeed awake but only just, he was taking in his surroundings slowly, figuring it out that they had taken him to the hospital after he had had his children.
She immediately went to his side and squeezed the hand that was closet to her briefly, and with the other one she tucked some of her pink hair behind her ear and then un-tucked it again; something she only did when she was really worried or nervous.
God, he looked extremely awful, what with those huge puffy bags under his blood shot eyes from all the crying that he had been doing yesterday night. The blonde looked so pale and weak and Sakura was scared that if she made the wrong move he would break in halve like a toothpick; even though she knew that he was way stronger then that and she wasn't giving him enough credit. She supposed that the trial period after him, being the first male to do so, giving birth had to have left him warn down. Sakura had been the one to clean him after he had basically passed out; little boy couldn't even take care of himself right.
She smiled lightly, "Hey, sleepyhead," she said brushing some of his sweat covered pieces of hair out of his eyes, unusually nauseous about the mild point of how they were going to tell him about the little Sasuke.
"Hey…" he croaked, "Where…where are my babies?" He looked around to each and every face that looked back with shame clearly implanted on their features. He was frantic, the mother instincts kicking in. "Did anything happen to them? Sakura? Sakura, tell me?" He clung to her shirt like it was the last thing he had left to hold onto.
The pink haired girl wasn't sure if she wanted to be the lie to him or if it was her place to be the one to tell him the news that no new mommy wanted to hear. So finding a compromise she kept her mouth shut suddenly turning into a statue made rock solid.
As if on cue Tsuande burst in, for once without her sake, which I think through everybody off a little bit, screaming. "If that brat isn't up by now then by god I'm waking him up!" she held a tiny baby in her arms as she looked right at him with a passive expression on her face, though she could see the relief that washed over him like a swollen wave as his eyes watched gleefully both of them safely with her.
"Hey, mommy!" she teased. "Do you want to hold your baby boy and little girl, or what? She smiles. These were the children that she had stayed up all night to watch, at least, to look over one and mourn over the other; she knew what it was like to loose someone who was always so close to her heart. Just like her it had happened to him twice.
Naruto nodded happily.
"Then sit up, brat." She commented reverting back to 'brat' instead of her new favorite thing which was 'mommy'; it was just really comical for some reason.
Sakura helped the blonde push himself up onto his pillows; he could see from the place that he was at, that his children were so incredibly beautiful. And he knew without a shadow of doubt in his mind that he would always love and cherish the two. No matter what, he was their mother and he was going to stick around.
The tears of joy welled in his eyes as he was carefully handed his two slumbering babies; Sasuke on his left and Hajime on his right. He just stared al them for as long as he was able to without having to blink.
Hajime had short cropped hair; that same shade of raven as her father; it even had that slightest hint of navy when the light hit it right. She had a round face that was open and heart shaped with wide dark blue eyes, like two irises's made solely of moonlight and very contrasting tan skin. She yawned randomly emanating a little sound then moving a little in her pink bundle and going back to sleep. It must have been strange being so brand new; it was a shame that no one could really remember being born.
Then Naruto looked to his son who didn't have an inch of likeness to his father; he was such a contrast to the older boy who couldn't be here to see them like this, so little, he didn't even know that he clan had been revived, and it was possible that he would never know. But Sasuke Jr. had thick golden locks with the faintest tint of brown on his head. A mixture between pale and tan skin and the same midnight blue eyes as his sister, both were angels.
He frowned at his child, noticing that something was amiss, his son wasn't breathing.
He started weeping all the harder, but this time not from joy, pain, pure agony, wrenched at his heart and he screamed whispered, "No! No!" and fawned over his tiny son who's eyes he would never see open, who would grow not even an inch.
He looked around the room trying to see any sort of an explanation for why his child, his little boy, was gone, but they all only gave him apologetic smiles that did not touch their eyes.
Iruka was crying and Kakashi was doing his best to comfort him by holding him in their own little corner; if only Naruto had someone who would do that for him.
"H-how!" He spluttered moving to pass over his little girl smiling and crying over both of them.
"Everybody out!" Tsunade yelled shoving an acrylic nailed finger at the door, shooing them away. "I would like to talk to Naruto alone, please, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!"
Sakura was the last one to follow the depressed crowd out the door, a soggy cloud of heavy acid water seemingly about to rain on their ducked heads, but not before smiling at Naruto which did not touch her eyes, and closing the door on her way out. She didn't think she could handle that stupid sickening stench of death that was locked up around that baby anymore.
"H-how!?" Naruto repeated.
"Mommy, this may be hard for you to hear, keep that in mind okay? And also keep it in mind that your body wasn't designed to bear children, not of any kind, alright?"
Naruto nodded sadly just wanting to know why his baby was dead.
Tsunade sighed running a hand through her hair, watching his expression with her blue eyes as she started the sad story, "You went into an early labor, Naruto, two months a week and an odd handful of days earlier then your C-section was scheduled so that you could have the most painless process of birth, that was the way that it was supposed happened. And we both know that that isn't the way that it did happen."
Naruto nodded again, sniffling a bit, this news only made him hold his children all the more tightly to himself.
"But your water broke at the party, probably 'cause of all the yelling that you were doing, but it was more then likely because your itty bitty body couldn't take the weight of carrying both of them within you. We don't really know the cause because…well…it's not the sort of thing that's been studied. But if it had only been Hajime or only Sasuke then I'm sure that everything would have been fine, according to schedule, and you wouldn't have to go through this pain."
She sighed again and grimaced then muttered, "Even with your levels of chakra males are just not supposed to give birth, it's not possible, it shouldn't have been possible…"
Naruto gasped was she suggesting that he wished that it had not happened, well if he had been given the choice…he really couldn't have decided either way; on one hand, to wish on something so hard and have it taken away, then on the other, to not have it at all.
So your body saw your children as a virus or something they needed to get rid of, instinctively knowing that they were not supposed to be there. And also for the fact that the babies took up all your energy and did make you physically sick, could also be it. But you see it's all really a big guessing game."
She paused, smiling wearily her eyes honestly sorry for the dobe, this was news that someone as hard as she had to be couldn't take. So she wondered somewhere deep in her subconscious how he could just sit there with a nothing expression on his face staring her down with perpetual ice cycles, glaring daggers, the tears still streaming full force down his face and snot dripping from his nose onto his lips. He was probably in shock. Hell, she sure woulda been, too.
"So…your immune system sent out little anti-bodies to attack the problem at its source so that they wouldn't be able to take your nutrients anymore."
Naruto swallowed harshly he was taking this rather well but that was probably because his mind was completely floored.
"What…what about Kyubbi?" he asked slowly, debating with himself on whether he really wanted to know or not, which finally he knew it would be better to know everything then to not know. It was, after all, his son for god sakes!
"I think that in Kyubbi's attempt to save all of you she was the one who forced you into an early labor. She couldn't have protected the children because it would have been destroying you and you're her vessel, her only chance at becoming a full fledged demon again. But also she feels everything that you feel and if the babies had just died, that means you probably would have just died also. Under the circumstances, I probably would've done the same thing…"
"…But unfortunately Sasuke came out second and your body had already…" she trailed of leaving the sentence with a shiver up and down her spine, then a closing. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be Tsunade-baa-chan," she looked up to see him smiling down at his kids an expression of peace on his face. "I have two beautiful children thanks to you, you're a miracle worker, and they were right when they appointed you Hokage. You were at least able to save one of them, right?"
"Well," she flustered never expecting the dobe to be able to sound so grown up, "I had help Sakura and Hinata were there too, you know?"
"Oh, well I'm sure you all did something that no one else would be able to do."
Even the stupidest man, which they were all pretty stupid, could see past the boys plastered on smile and know that in his eyes agony shown blindly even with all the salt water in the way.
"Besides," he continued his voice wavering a little, "I would be cheating my daughter if I didn't treat my son like he was still alive. Plus if I keep him in my heart, where I can protect him forever, he will stay alive and live with me until the day that I die. Just like she will, there my kids, and that's all that really matters now…"
"Should we have the funeral today or tomorrow," Tsunade said knowing there was nothing that she could say to that. All words escaped her and even sarcastic remarks.
Naruto filched at her words but answer none the less, "Tomorrow," she nodded, "let me at least have today with both of them in my arms. Today is all that I'm asking for."
"Where would you like to go?" She asked making sure that he would get there; by whatever means necessary.
"To the dock that was where me and Sasuke first met…"
End
Okay so now ya'll know why the child had to die…
Well you caught me he coulda lived and I coulda made this happy, but again I suck at writing happy…so unless all of you all wanted a semi-suckish story then boo me all you like, 'cause I don't care and only take it as constructive criticism! So HAH!
Oh and by a raise of hands who would like it if I did a vampire fic because that's the whole reason this is a week late is because I was writing the first chapter to this new story I have in my brain called 'Lust' or 'When the Beauty Is The Beast' which ever one(I need HELP! So people's tell me which one you like better) and I was wondering if I bothered at all to put it up here who would actually take the time to read it and review.
Here I'll even give you the summery so say SOMETHING!! Please please!
From this moment forward, no one and nothing could be trusted—not even his own instincts, unless he wanted to give up his heart to the whims of another immortal…
Yeah I know, it needs work, but I SUCK at summaries!
I'm also thinking about a RikuSora fic that would purely be for the hopelessly romantic, but that doesn't matter! I just wanted a poll to see how many people would say something if I put all of this worthless information up here!
So review for a lonely mortal…and remind her where she placed her brain…she's seemed to misplace it…but then says…"Oh well brains are for squares!!"
