Deidara ran his soft hands along the mouldable clay sculpture. The blond wore a stripped red and while shirt, along with a pair of clay covered blue overalls. His blond hair was tied up in a ponytail with his usual hair bang covering his left eye. He felt a pair of arms snake around his slim waist from behind and someone rest their chin on his right shoulder. The blond turned his head to see Sasori. The redhead was wearing a light blue silk shirt. Sewn onto the pocket was the symbol he also carved into their headboard.
"What's my Dei up to?" Sasori asked. Deidara chuckled. He'd played this game with Sasori before in this last week. Their house was clean and Sasori had fixed the defects so now they could soon start with the preparations for the baby. Sasori was sometimes really worried about him because he was really ill sometimes and vomited a lot. Deidara reassured his beloved redhead it was just morning sickness and that it was normal. Sasori had insisted he would go to the doctors but Deidara had won the discussion. But Sasori had told him if he would vomit once more he would take him to the doctor. He felt the redhead tightening his grip.
"I'm making a sculpture un." Deidara quickly answered snapping out of his thoughts. Sasori started to nibble at his neck.
"Really Dei?" Sasori said softly a smile on his lips.
"Yes danna, really un."
"Why Dei, you're all covered in clay." Sasori said teasingly. Deidara chuckled once more.
"What can I say? I'm a messy artist un." Deidara said. Sasori chuckled against Deidara's neck.
"Yes but you're my little messy artist."
"Indeed I am, just like you're my handsome Sasori danna un." Sasori kissed Deidara's neck lightly.
"Indeed I am, Dei, I'm all yours." Sasori said as he nuzzled the side off Deidara's face. "I love you Dei."
"I love you too dan-" Deidara suddenly retched, bringing his clay covered hand to his mouth. Sasori used his stomach cable to grab the bucket he had been using to mop yesterday and moved Deidara to kneel on the floor, his head over the bucket. Deidara threw up into the bucket while Sasori held his hair back and rubbed the blond's back.
"That's it, I'm taking you to the doctors." Sasori said. Deidara gave a slight nod before throwing uup once more into the bucket. When he was finished Sasori handed him a glass of water. The blond took a sip so he could wash away the acidly taste. Then he walked to their bedroom and changed. Deidara now wore a black shirt with short sleeves, along with a pair of faded blue jeans and a belt. He walked back to the living room.
"Danna, I know you said if I vomited once again you would take me to the doctors but now I don't feel sick anymore so it's not necessary to take me." Deidara said as he watched his danna get up from the chair he was sitting in.
"Dei, I'm taking you to the doctor, if you want to or not. Even if that means I have to drag you." Sasori said, his voice sternly. Deidara only looked at his feet. He knew if his danna wanted something nobody could tell him otherwise. Deidara heard footsteps coming towards him, then a hand on his chin lifting his face up. He looked into a pair off red-brown eyes.
"Dei, tell me what's wrong. Why won't you go to the doctor. They really are not going to hurt you." Sasori asked, he was really worried about Deidara.
"Nothing is wrong. It's just..." Deidara trailed off looking away. 'Why is it so difficult to say I'm scared.' Deidara thought. Sasori waited impatiently for the blond to continue. He watched as Deidara took a deep breath and looked back at him.
"I'm scared danna." the blond said, his voice barely a whisper. Sasori was stunned, his blond was scared. Deidara never got scared, the only thing Sasori knew Deidara was scared off was their leader but he had approved off the situation so that couldn't be the reason. Sasori stayed quiet and only looked at Deidara. The blond was near crying, he blinked and bit his lip to stop the tears from flowing out off his eyes. Suddenly Sasori stepped closer and hugged the blond.
"Don't be scared Dei, you know I'll protect you." he said comforting the blond. Deidara shook his head, and cried again.
"You can't protect me from this danna, because it's my own body I'm afraid off." Sasori looked at his blond a look off confusedness on his face. He didn't get what the blond meant. But before he could ask the blond started to explain.
"Do you know only 60% off pregnancies make it passed twelve weeks." the blond couldn't help but sob. Sasori now knew why his blond didn't want to go. He stroked the blond's hair and tried to reassure him.
"Oh Dei. Now I get it, you're afraid off bad news. But Dei, if we don't go we will never know if it's alright. Please Dei, just come with me so we'll know. It will give me some peace of mind. I'm already so worried about you two, please?" Sasori softly said. Deidara stopped crying, stunned at his danna's words. 'He said please. Even said it twice.' Deidara thought before he nodded.
"Okay danna, but only so you'll get some peace off mind. I still don't like it, but than again I never like doctors in the first place." the blond said after a while. Sasori nodded taking the blond by the hand he leaded him to their car and opened the door for him. Deidara sat down putting his seatbelt on. Sasori walked to the other side off the car and took place behind the wheel. He started the car and drove to the doctors.
It was a very bright day and Sasori had to put his sunglasses on to see anything. Deidara just looked out the window, letting his thought room free. He thought about everything that happened lately. So much was changed but he was happy he was with Sasori and than nobody else in the Akatsuki knew he was pregnant. He would be seen even more off a freak if they knew. After a while his eyelids started to droop and then he was asleep.
"Dei wake up, we're here." Sasori's soft voice woke the blond. Deidara groaned a little but opened his eyes. He looked up at his danna and smiled a little. He stretched and got out off the car. Together they walked inside the building. Deidara really didn't like doctors but if Sasori thought it was for the best he would go to the doctor. They walked to the counter to announce they wanted to see a doctor. The receptionist looked at Deidara and then at Sasori.
"What are your symptoms?" the girl asked. Deidara looked up at his danna, he smiled but then ran to the bathroom. Sasori shook his head.
"My boyfriend is pregnant and has been having morning sickness. But lately he can't keep anything down. Not only in the mornings but all day. Everything he eats comes back out. I was worried that wasn't normal so I took him here so the doctor can check up on him." Sasori said to the girl.
"Alright, morning sickness is normal but it's not normal to be vomiting so much. May I know his name?" the receptionist asked.
"Off course, Tamari, his name is Deidara." Sasori answered.
"Okay, that was weird, how did you know my name?" Tamari asked. Sasori thought quickly, he couldn't say he recognized her. Then he saw her name tag and pointed at it. Tamari looked down than smiled at him.
"Off course my name tag." Tamari laughed, then wrote down the blond's name.
"You can wait in that room over there. I will call for you when the doctor is available." Tamari said. Sasori nodded, then turned around to look for his blond when he saw him walking towards him.
"Are you done with the receptionist?" Deidara asked. Sasori nodded ant took the blond by the hand leading him into the waiting room. 'Good thing she didn't recognized me, maybe this can work here in Suna.' Sasori thought as he led the blond.
"We need to wait for the doctor because we didn't make a appointment before we came over. I should have thought about that, now we have to wait and I really hate waiting." Sasori said as he sat down on one off the very uncomfortable chairs. Deidara giggled and sat down beside his danna.
"You wanted to go to the doctor. I think you worry to much, the doctor probably will say it is just normal and than we can go home again." Deidara said almost relieved.
"Dei, that receptionist said it isn't normal to be vomiting all day and at this rate you don't get the right nutrition from your food." Sasori answered. Deidara shot a glare at the girl behind the counter but she didn't notice.
"Danna my back hurts, these are very uncomfortable." Deidara said as he pointed to the chair he was sitting in.
"Yes I know Dei, but you'll have to endure a little longer. I just hope the doctor is available soon." the redhead replied.
"But danna, it really hurts un! Can't I sit in your lap, you're much more comfy un." Deidara whined. Sasori shook his head. He knew if Deidara began whining he wouldn't stop before he got what he wanted. Sasori sat up in his chair lifting his arms motioning for Deidara to come sit in his lap. Deidara cheered and quickly climbed into the redheads lap, nuzzling the crook off Sasori's neck. The blond let out a content sigh and closed his eyes. He felt much better now he was close to his danna. Sasori sigh also and began to stroke the blond's back. After a couple minutes the blond yawned and looked up at his danna sleepily.
"You tired Dei?" Sasori asked. Deidara nodded and yawned again.
"How long until we are able to see that stupid doctor?" the blond asked. Sasori shrugged his shoulders and continued stroking the blonds back. Then suddenly the receptionist stood before them.
"You can go in now, the doctor will be with you shortly." Tamari said, then she walked back to the counter. Sasori let go off Deidara whom got off his lap. They walked over to the door Tamari had pointed at, it was slightly ajar so they walked in. Deidara sat on the examination table waiting for the doctor, with Sasori stroking his hair, comforting Deidara.
The doctor opened the door and walked in. She shook their hand and walked over to the desk. She looked through the papers, then looked up confused.
"I think their has been a mix up." the doctor said looking at the couple.
"How come?" the redhead asked as he watched the doctor coming over to them.
"Well in my papers I read mister Deidara and that he should be pregnant. But I think it should be miss isn't it?" the doctor asked. Deidara shook his head.
"Your papers are correct. I am a male un." he said looking amused to see the look on the doctors face. The doctor took a minute to compose herself then place the clipboard down.
"Well that is exceptional. You may call me Tsunade or doctor what you prefer." she said grabbing her pen. "Now let's get this over with. You experience a lot off vomiting. Is it always on a certain time off day?" Tsunade asked.
"Not really, it's always really sudden. One moment I'm fine and the next I'm puking my guts out." Deidara answered. Tsunade wrote something down on the paper and got up.
"Alright, I need to check if everything is okay so you'll need a ultrasound. Follow me please." the doctor said. Sasori nodded and turned to the door. Deidara also nodded and hopped off of the bench, immediately feeling dizzy. He put a hand on Sasori for balance. Tsunade lead both off them down the hallway. They entered a black carpeted room with light cream brown painted walls. On the right side of the room was a chair built so if you were to sit in it you would be lying down. Next to the chair was a machine which had a large screen on it. Deidara sat back down on the chair and lifted his shirt up a bit to reveal his still slim waist. Sasori sat on the ground next to him, watching the machine screen. Deidara cringed when he felt the cold gel on his bare skin. He felt Tsunade roll the scanner over his skin. She stopped at a certain place and made a confused noise.
"Deidara, how long have you been feeling nauseas?" Tsunade asked.
"About three weeks un." Deidara answered. Sasori, whom had been watching the screen, suddenly grabbed Deidara's hand.
"It looks like you are indeed pregnant, but something is wrong." Tsunade said calmly.
"What un!?" Deidara asked as he suddenly sat up staring at Tsunade. She pushed him back down and put the scanner back on Deidara's stomach. She rotated the screen so Deidara could see.
"You see this black splodge here?" Tsunade asked, pointing on the screen. There was a weird circle marked with a light color, with a black sort off squiggle thing inside it. Deidara slowly nodded as an answer.
"Well that is your baby, but it is rather small for five weeks, so I guess we should keep you here for about a week, just to make sure everything is alright." Tsunade said sounding really cold. She just said something is wrong with their child. Deidara's brain started thinking about what could happen and now she wanted him to stay here for a week. Then suddenly the world went black for Deidara as he passed out.
Deidara noticed something cold and wet on his forehead along with a hand running up and down his right arm. He groaned and opened his eyes to see Sasori staring at him. The redhead gave a soft smile.
"How is my Dei-chan feeling?" Sasori asked softly.
"I've been better un. What hap-." Everything came rushing back at him. He placed his hand to his forehead.
"What is wrong with our child?" Deidara asked. He sat up to see he was lying on one off the clinic's beds, the flannel falling of his forehead. Sasori got up and kissed Deidara on the cheek lovingly, trying to calm the blond down. There was a click as the door opened and Tsunade walked into the room, holding some x-rays in hand.
"While you were unconscious I took some x-rays. Luckily everything is fine with you but I can't say the same off your baby. That is the reason I want you to stay here for a while." Tsunade said. She looked at Sasori who nodded then at Deidara who just stared at her.
"Right now I need to weigh you and measure your waist. All just standard procedure off course. After that I need to know about family history, if you've had any diseases, we will also have to ultrasound the baby once more just to make sure off my findings." she explained to them. Deidara just gave a pale nod. Sasori watched as his blond sat on the edge off the bed. He still looked a bit pale and he seemed unstable on his legs. Sasori reached Deidara his hand, who grabbed it eagerly. Deidara was grateful his danna offered some support. Together they followed the doctor to another room. It was exactly like the ultrasound room only without the actual machine and the chair. Instead there were a few cabinets, two couches facing each other, a table, and a large scale at the very back off the room. Tsunade asked Deidara to stand on the scale. Sasori watched the blond's slim waist as Deidara stood on the scale. 'There is a baby in there? But he is just as skinny as ever!' Sasori thought. He was perplexed and now there was something wrong with their baby. Maybe there was something wrong with Deidara, even if Tsunade said he was fine.
"Reasonable weight, somewhat low but fine." Tsunade said as she wrote Deidara's weight down on a medical sheet.
"I wish I was that god damn skinny but of well. You sometimes can't tell if someone is pregnant by looking at five weeks. The baby should be only half a centimeter long at this stage." She said. Sasori was a little angry.
"But if the baby is supposed to be small why do you need Deidara to stay here." he said glaring at her.
"Well since Deidara is a male and male pregnancies are tricky I don't want to risk anything." Tsunade said, as she put the measuring tape around Deidara's waist and measured the diameter. She made a small hum and wrote the number down.
"Good, now sit down." Tsunade said pointing at the couch. Sasori took Deidara's hand and smiled at his lover reassuringly. Deidara gave a faint smile back. They sat down on the couch, Deidara is Sasori's lap. He leaned back so Sasori could look over his shoulder. The redhead wrapped his arms around Deidara's waist running his thumb over the still unnoticeable belly. Tsunade sat down on the couch opposite off their own and took the clipboard in hand.
"Any diseases in your family?" Tsunade asked. They both shook their heads.
"Any birth defects?"
"Only my hand mouths but I don't think that counts." Deidara answered. Tsunade shook her head then looked at Sasori.
"I was born three weeks early." Sasori said. Tsunade shook her head again.
"That's not relevant, any other things?" she asked. Deidara shook his head and after a bit off thinking Sasori did the same.
"Alright, than we shall ultrasound Deidara one more time. Maybe you can go bring Deidara some clothes and toilet articles while we are doing the ultrasound. That way you save time." she said to Sasori, who nodded. Deidara watched his danna nod with shock in his eyes. He squeezes his danna's hand till he heard some clicking. Sasori looked down to their entangled hands, he saw the blond squeezing him tightly. Then he looked the blond in his shocked eyes.
"Danna..." the blond whispered voice almost inaudible. The blond's eyes started to tear up, he didn't want to be left alone in this clinic. 'Sasori should know I am afraid of doctors and clinics. I even told him before we went.' Deidara thought to himself. Sasori suddenly remembered the blond saying something about being scared to be alone in a clinic.
"It sure is a good plan but I rather stay with Deidara until the ultrasound is done." Sasori said. He felt the blond relax in his arms. Tsunade nodded then led them to the ultrasound room. Deidara leaning heavily on the redhead. He rested his head on his danna's shoulder.
"I'm really tired danna." Deidara said as they entered the room.
"When you are done here Dei, you can sleep for a while, I promise." Sasori said helping Deidara in the chair. Deidara nodded and lifted his shirt up a bit. He cringed at the cold gel but didn't move.
"Okay, let's take a look, at about five weeks you should be able to hear the heartbeat off the baby. If we hear it the baby should be fine." Tsunade said as she rolled the scanner over Deidara's stomach. The sound of a rapid heartbeat filled the room. Sasori's eyes widened and he looked up at Deidara who also listened in amazement. That was their baby. Sasori felt pride and gave Deidara's hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Well everything seems to be developing but just to make sure I want to keep Deidara here." Tsunade said. Sasori looked at Deidara's face, only to see that the blond had fallen asleep.
"He will probably be exhausted a lot, one of the downsides of pregnancy." Tsunade said. Sasori answered with a nod.
"Anything else I need to know?" Sasori asked. Tsunade thought for a second.
"Make sure he eats well so the baby gets enough nutrition. Small regular meals and regular drinks can help prevent indigestion, help nausea and help fatigue. A good variety. He isn't a vegetarian, is he?" Tsunade asked a little worried. Sasori chuckled.
"Far from it." he answered.
"That's good then. A little tip, nibbling cucumber that had been soaked in water is a good remedy for morning sickness." Tsunade said with a smile. Sasori nodded again.
"Well let's get mister Iwa to a room. We only have one person rooms but I don't think that is a problem. Is it?" Tsunade asked. Sasori shook his head as he stood. He picked up Deidara bridal style and followed the doctor to a vacant room. Sasori laid Deidara gently onto the covers of the bed. He kissed Deidara's forehead and turned to Tsunade.
"He'll probably sleep till I'm back but if he by any chance would wake up just let him call me." Sasori said softly. "He knows the number." Tsunade nodded and opened the door waiting for Sasori to exit the room. Sasori looked over his shoulder one more time and then exited the room. Tsunade closed it behind them without a sound.
"I'll get you the list with stuff he'll need." Tsunade said walking to a counter with a nurse. Sasori thought about what would have happened if he didn't get Deidara to the doctor. Their child would need more care as a normal pregnancy that's for sure. If Deidara hadn't want to go because he thought everything was fine, then their child had been in big trouble. Sasori shook his head to lose the awful thoughts. He didn't want to think about it.
"Here you are. I've circled everything Deidara might need for his stay here." Tsunade said, snapping Sasori back to reality.
"Yes thank you. I won't be gone long only about a hour." Sasori answered as he took the piece off paper. He quickly scanned the words nodding at them. 'Wouldn't be to hard.' Sasori thought. He looked at the doctor as he folded the paper.
"Take good care off Deidara while I am gone and don't forget to give him a phone when he wakes up." Sasori said, then he turned and walked towards the exit. He made his way over to the car, hopping inside and starting the engine. He put his seatbelt on and drove off.
