Epilogue- 8 year time skip
"What Sasu no- aah!"
"Come on Naru just 10 minutes."
"No."
"WAAAAAHHHHHH!"
I sigh with relief as I carefully step off the bed. I hold my stomach and steady myself. I turn to see Sasuke, who was face down on the bed groaning. I smile and grabbing a pillow hitting the back off his head.
"Come on, don't pretend you didn't hear them, baka~" I said. I don't know why he was so horny throughout pregnancies. He turned his face to me and sighed. He was staring my stomach again with a smile. Yes, I was six months pregnant and my stomach was big. I was planning on going to the doctor today for a regular checkup.
"MAMA, Naoko pulled my hair!"
A small girl came running in the room and ran into my leg. I wobbled and gasped at the impact, but arms wrapped around me keeping me steady. I looked up at Sasuke and smiled. I looked down I smile again and run my fingers through her hair.
Hanako was my five year-old daughter, she is one of the twins that I had on the second year of our marriage. She had short blond hair since she disliked it so long. She had a small cherubic face and her cheeks were permanently red. She had dark coal eyes just like her father.
"NO, I didn't it was by accident!" another yell came in. It was from Naoko. Naoko came in with a flushed face. He looked just like his father. Bluish black hair and spikey features in it. He had a soft face and dark blue eyes. He had his father's glare down as he was glaring at Hanako.
Sasuke let me go and went to pick up Naoko. Hanako stayed at my hip since I couldn't pick her up.
"Tell us what happened," Sasuke said.
Naoko grunted.
"I was playing with my blocks and one was on the sofa and Hanako was on the sofa to, but she was laying down. I didn't mean to pull her hair I was just trying to get the block. I pulled her hair by accident Daddy" he said.
"Baby girl see it was by accident" I said smoothing down her hair. She pouted, but nodded. Sasuke set Naoko down and they took each other's hands and went back downstairs. I chuckled at the cute sight. Though they may have some fights, there definitely two peas in a pod. I felt Sasuke behind me as he wraps his arms around my waist. He litters kisses on my neck and I moan with pleasure. He cups my butt and I snap out of it.
"Sasuke, get your hand off my butt! You can't be that horny so early in the morning."
I hear him sigh and he lets go, but without giving me a kiss on the cheek. I smile and kiss him back.
"How about you take a quick shower with me?" I said. I laugh as he rushed into the bathroom. I go in the bathroom and joined him. He caught me in a quick quickie in the shower, but I enjoyed it. We got out quickly. I slipped on a pair of sweats and a fitting t-shirt while Sasuke puts on his suit. He has to go to work today, while Hiroshi and Kaze go to school and to their separate clubs. I leave the room and slowly go downstairs to cook a quick breakfast. I check on the kids quickly, making sure they were all right. I enter the kitchen and start making breakfast. I hear a shuffle and I turn around to see Kaze and Hiroshi coming in the kitchen.
Hiroshi has grown up quite a bit. His hair has gotten longer up to his neck. He baby fat was still there though it had smoothen down. He lost a bit of weight which I don't know how since he eats a whole lot. He had on a bright smile as he walked in talking to Kaze. Kaze changed too growing up to be a mature young man. He was slightly taller than Hiroshi and his black hair was shorter.
"Mom is breakfast ready?" Hiroshi whined. I chuckled and shake my head no.
"No it is not. I just started Hiroshi" I said. Kaze came around him and kissed my cheek.
"Good morning mom" he said. I patted his cheeks with a smile.
"At least someone has manners" I said looking at Hiroshi. He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck. He walks up to me and hugs me from behind.
"Sorry about that. Good morning" he says. I nod and he let me go. He goes in the living room with Kaze and I hear squeals and giggles coming from the twins. I set a plate of pancakes and waffles on the side. Also a bowl of fruit, bacon and sausage. I call everybody in and I hear a rush of feet. Everybody sits at the table and starts to dig in. I cut the twins pieces into smaller bits making sure they don't choke. I see Sasuke formally dressed as he came downstairs.
"Good morning Dad."
"Hey Dad."
"Daddy, hi."
"Daddy sit here."
I smile at the responses and set a plate in front him. Sasuke said his good mornings and sat down next to Hanako kissing her head and reaching over to ruffle Naoko's. I settled down next to Kaze in front of Sasuke. We dug in together and made light talk. I got extra servings since I'm eating for more than one person.
"Hiroshi remember to take your Gi for karate afterschool it's in the laundry room and Kaze don't forget to take your gloves for archery" I said.
"Ok Ma, Dad can you drop me off on your way to work?" Hiroshi asked.
"Sure, Kaze do you need a ride."
"No, I'll walk mom to his appointment first since it's on the way" Kaze said. Hiroshi huffed and looked at him.
"Mama's boy" said Hiroshi. Kaze rolled his eyes.
"You too, idiot" he said. Hiroshi flushed with anger and stood up. I looked up shocked and sighed.
"Kaze do not tease your brother and Hiroshi calm down you don't need to get riled up."
"Sorry, mom" they both said. I shake my head and turn to Sasuke who didn't even notice because it was a usual occurrence. I looked up at the clock and cry out in surprise.
"It's time for you guys to go. Naoko, Hanako go put on your shoes for mommy. Kaze if you're going to walk with me than hurry or were both going to be late."
They all scrambled and I took my time to collect the dishes and put them in the sink. I took a light jacket and grabbed the snack bag for the kids that was supplied with healthy snacks, water, juice, and in case some diapers. I take the kids hands when they finished putting on their shoes. I meet Sasuke at the door and peck him on the lips wishing him a good day. He heads toward the car followed by Hiroshi who was able to grab what he needed quickly. He stopped and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I waved goodbye and waited for Kaze who came running down the stairs with his things. We started walking down the street quietly. Kaze offered to hold the snack bag as I held Naoko's hand and Hanako went to hold Kaze's. We walked quietly and waved to the people who we knew. This was a neighborhood were everybody knew everybody. We were definitely happy here.
Hanako and Naoko ran forward letting go with of our hands. Kaze moved closer to me smiling at them.
"What do you think the next one will be?" he asked. I shrugged and caressed my stomach.
"I don't know. Sasuke wants another girl to spoil, like he already doesn't with Hanako and Naoko. I just want a healthy baby" I said. He nodded.
Kaze and Hiroshi have been the perfect big brothers when the twins were born. Always staying near them, protecting them from harm and playing with them just like when they were younger. I was proud of my boys for being such role models.
We stopped in front of the clinic that I usually go to. I kiss Kaze on the cheek and said goodbye as all three of us entered. I signed my name up on the sheet and sat down until the call my name. I let the children play with the toys and books that were offered as I read a small pamphlet.
"Naruto-san."
I looked up and smiled when I saw the doctor. Dr. Chiyo has been my OB/GYN doctor since the twin's birth. She really knew what was best for me and I trusted her with everything.
"Dr. Chiyo thank you for seeing me today" I said standing up. She smiles and motions me to follow her to the back. I motion the kids to follow me. I follow her quickly and we enter the room.
"Are you here for a regular checkup of the baby?" I nod and she starts asking me the usual questions. How was I? How was the baby?, What have I been eating?, How I felt?, the usual. I laid down after we were finished talking taking off my jacket and pulled up my shirt for the ultrasound. She puts the gel on my stomach and glides the transduce against my stomach. I hold my breath and wait for the results. I smile when I got a picture on the screen. I felt the kids close by me as they looked at the screen.
"What's that mommy?" Hanako asked.
"It looks like a blob" Naoko said.
"That is your new baby sister" Dr. Chiyo said smiling. I gasped and looked at her. She nods continues to glide. I smile brighter and felt tears come in my eyes.
"Mommy why are you cryin? I'm sorry I said she looked like a blob" Naoko said patting my head. I shake my head and smile at him.
"I'm not sad sweetheart, these are happy tears" I whispered wiping my eyes. I sighed with content.
"Dr. Chiyo can you take some pictures for me. Everybody will love to know" I said. She nodded and cleaned me up. I pulled down my shirt and stood up.
"Mommy can I have juice?" Hanako said. I nodded and reached forward to take the bag. Pulling out a juice box I handed one to each of them. Dr. Chiyo came back with a folder of the pictures. Thanking her I tucked them in the bag and said goodbye making my way out of the clinic. The kids yelled their byes to and we walked down a different path.
"How about we go to the café for a bit. Mommy has to check on something's" I said. The kids jumped with enthusiasm and we continued.
Throughout the years I didn't want to be stay home mom anymore, not that I didn't want to stay with my family I just wanted to experience some new things. I had a love for baking that I wasn't able to expand because of my previous occupation. When I started baking again Sasuke sat me down and explained that he was tired of only eating cake, tarts, cupcakes, and many others. I was disheartened about what he said, but next thing I know he was holding up a set of keys and told me to enjoy. I was so happy that he brought me a small little shop I jumped on him and we did something that we shouldn't have done in the kitchen. Luckily the kids were at school and it ended up with me getting pregnant with the twins.
It took a whole lot of work to fix it up as exactly as I wanted it, but it was perfect in the end. The Rasengan café is what I called it. After plenty of baking for the open night Deidara decided to work there and help me out with it and so did Mikoto.
Oh and about Mikoto she married her longtime lover George and were happily taking their vacation in Hawaii and Deidara are still so close. He had more kids a little boy and two more young girls, he's pretty happy. On the first day of opening Rasengan became a quickly popular café bringing in plenty of different variety of customer from young to old. We arrive at the café quickly. It was packed like always with many people bustling around. I felt guilty for leaving Deidara here to take care of the baking, but he convinced me that it was for the baby and he didn't want anything to happen, and I would probably do the same. So Hinata came and started helping to. She choose to become a waitress since she was quicker on her feet and felt she needed to be more social. When she saw me came in she smiled.
"Auntie Hina" Hanako yelled gather everybody's attention. Hanako blushed and quickly went over to Hinata's side. Hinata smiled at her and gave her a quick hug.
"Hanako its nice to see you and you too Naoko" she said. Naoko moved to behind my leg blushing. Everybody knew he had a small crush on Hinata. Everybody thought it was adorable.
I walked up to her and gave her a hug.
"How are you Naruto?" she asked.
"I'm perfectly fine, I got so ultrasound pictures" I said excitedly.
"Really! Oh, let me get these customers orders and I'll be right there" she said. I nod and turn around.
I look around and noticed that the kids were in a big corner table. Yuki and Ame grew up finely. They were beautiful children just like their parents. Yuki grew out her blond hair which fell toward her back in waves. She smiled brightly and her eyes twinkled as she laughed. Her father was even more protective than ever and so was her brother. Ame sat there giving a sly smirk. His short black hair was short, but it was still in a low ponytail. He was as mature as Kaze and as his father though he was still so young. I didn't see the younger ones guessing they were with their father for today.
"Auntie Naru, Hanako, Naoko" yelled Minako as she saw me. Minako grew just as beautiful as Yuki. Her hair was still as short as she kept it. Her pale eyes shined with happiness as I came over. Ame stood up and offered me his seat. I said a quiet thank you and sat. Yuki pulled Naoko against her setting him on her lap and Minako did the same with Hanako. They giggled and sate comfortably in their laps.
Ame pulled another seat to the table and sat down.
"Auntie Naru how are you" he asked kindly. I smiled and took out the pictures. Taking them out the folder I handed one over to them. They peered at it and broke into a smile.
"It's a girl" Minako squealed. Yuki smiled and nodded. Ame though looked confused and shrugged.
"I don't understand how you guys can see if it's a girl, ultrasound pictures confuse me" he said. I giggled and sighed.
"Does Uncle, Hiroshi and Kaze know" asked Yuki. I shook my head no.
"I have to wait and tell them tonight, but I couldn't hold the excitement of knowing so I had to tell you guys before I popped" I said.
They laughed and I quickly joined in. The kitchen door swung open.
"Naru!"
I felt a pair of slim arms wrap around giving me a tight hug. I looked behind me to see Deidara giving me a small smile. Deidara got older, but he still looked youthful. His hair gotten longer, but not too long since he kept it neatly trimmed. His misty blue eyes sparkled as he looked at me.
"Dei! I was wondering where you were" I said hugging him back.
"What are you doing here, didn't I tell you to rest at home" he said. I nodded.
"I know, but I came for a quick visit, I was worried" I said. He face softened as he sighed.
"Ok I forgive you now. What are those?" he asked pointing to the pictures. I smirked and handed him the pictures. I saw Hinata sneak up behind him peeking over his shoulder. I laughed as I heard him and Hinata squeal.
*(^_^)*
I watched as Sasuke flipped another burger on the grill setting it to the side. I sat on a chair on the patio with a blanket on my legs.
I came in two hours ago from a very tiring day. After the visit to the café we came home to wait for the boys to come back. After playing with the twins and putting them down for a nap I was extremely exhausted. When Sasuke came home and saw how tired I was he immediately told me to rest and relax myself. The boys came later after staying afterschool in their respective clubs. They walked home together since the clubs both ended the same time. I hadn't told them about the gender of the baby since I wanted it to be a surprise.
I watched as the sun went down with a dazed expression. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Sasuke standing over me worried.
"Are you ok Naru?" he asked. I nod and grasped his hand.
"Yeah, just happy you know. Extremely happy" I said. He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"I believe you're happy because you found about the gender of the baby."
"Yes and it's a surprise for after dinner" I said.
He helps me up, taking the food with him to the kitchen. I behind him with a plate of hot dogs. Sitting them on the middle of the table, I move over the bowl of salad to the side. Sasuke called the kids over for dinner as we settled into our seats. The kids came quickly and sat down. Clasping our hands together we said a quick payer and dug in. Helping the twins with their food I realized I was very hungry. Making sure they were settled I took my own share and started to eat.
We talked about our day and what happened. Hiroshi boasted about how he beat his sempai in a fight. Kaze told us he had a good day since he didn't miss a target and got it straight in the center. Hiroshi called Kaze a show off and they started arguing again.
After we finished dinner I told everybody to stay still and I walked off to the kitchen. Taking a box from the counter and brought it to the table. They looked at it curiously and I took off the ribbon letting the box open. In the middle of the box was a cake that had a beautiful design on top. Decorated with balloons and pink icing. It had swirls all around it, but it was the middle that caught the attention. There was a miniature baby wrapped in a pink blanker smiling. On top of it said 'It's a girl'.
Hiroshi pumped his fist and started laughing. Kaze looked at me happy and gave a big smile. The twins already knew what was happening as they already heard the news, they just stared at the cake hungrily. Sasuke stood up quickly and pulled me into a hug.
"A girl, that's surprising" he said.
I laugh and shake my head.
"How, didn't you say you wanted a girl" I said. I heard Sasuke laugh.
"I would have been happy with either" he said. Pulling me into a kiss I gladly accepted as I moved with him. Then a chorus of ew's and we pulled apart laughing. Still in each other's arms. I looked at everybody smiling.
"Let's eat cake."
