The table is cold. The room is cold. I have goose bumps and chills crawling all over my skin.

Or is it just me? Am I afraid? Afraid of what?

Tsunade-sama is doing the same things that Sakura did the day before. I'm guessing that whatever Sakura thought was wrong or bad enough to make me come here, that she needs to do a check her self.

It's taking longer. I'm in the room alone save for my examiner.

She had made me take off my shirt once Naruto was shoved out. Told me that the examination would be more accurate or something. Then I was made lay on this table that has a sorry excuse for cushioning and this wax-like paper that's starting to stick to my back.

The hospital. Where I was directed to go after being told that the Hokage was "busy at the moment and she will be right with you".

Which you know will take at least ten minutes even if it's a life threatening wound or something. Even if it's not that long and just a few seconds, you usually don't get the doctor you have on your medical records and a few nurses for back up.

Then when your all better the doctor makes up some lousy excuse for why your doctor couldn't be there. Thirty minutes later your doctor comes in and says "Sorry for not being available, I was busy. So, how you doing?", and then you take a look at his attire that is so not hidden under that white lab coat and go "Just fine, how was the golfing tournament?"

Great. Now I'm rambling.

Bet 'cha that I got that from Naruto. And whatever this is, probably got it from him too.

The pressure on my stomach lifts.

Pursed lips. Uh-oh.

"Wait right here." Then she leaves the room.

I catch a glimpse of Naruto raising his head from the tiles of the hallway where he sits across the door before it closes.

"What's wrong with him?" The blond asks as the busty woman walks right on past him.

"Stay here, I'll be right back."

Naruto stayed. After a few minutes when he was starting to fidget from the longer then necessary wait, Tsunade came back but not with out company and a squeaky wheeled cart that had some kind of machine on it and a monitor.

Shizune opened the door for the contraption to be pushed in and followed soon after.

A confused looking Naruto was left in the hall.

"What is that?" I ask as I turn my head from inspecting the informational posters on the wall during my wait, to the rhythmic squeaking that entered the door.

The machine was stopped by my side, monitor facing away so I couldn't see the image.

"This will be cold." Shizune said, popping open a tube of clear/blue-ish gel and rubbing the substance bellow my belly button, disregarding my question.

I gasp at the touch as Tsunade pulls something from the side of the machine that I can only describe as a sort of rounded edge rectangle at the end of a grip attached to the mechanism with a thick cord, all of it a sterile white.

As she pushes that thing onto the gel they look onto the screen. I realize that this is an ultrasound machine, something that they use to look at fetuses in the womb among other things.

The only thing I can think of is why I would need an ultrasound. I could have a tumor growing in my lower abdomen.

So that's cancer right? What kind of cancer would it be?

I look to the two faces to take in how bad my situation may just be.

All I see is worry and confusion.

Now worry I could understand. But confusion? Just how bad could it be?

A certain short haired woman exited the room that was before entered.

"I'm not quite sure if this is good news or bad news… but news either way…"

'Let's get this over with' Naruto thought standing. "What's wrong with him doc." he said in a more agitated tone than concerned.

Her brow creased before answering seriously, "He's pregnant."

Silence then…

A barking laugh fills the sterile passage ways drawing several nasty looks.

"Oh, oh. I didn't know you had such a good sense of humor. Heh, eh… that was a good laugh…"

Oh, the killer intent that filled the air at that instance was great enough to clear the immediate area and bring the Hokage herself to investigate.

She poked her head out the door. "So how'd he take it?"

I was shocked when she said I was pregnant.

No, not shocked. Insulted.

Yes, at first I didn't believe it but then she started talking to herself - or so I thought. Said things about Orochimaru and his grotesque experiments and likeliness for little boys… Okay, that last part I added but same difference.

Then came that feeling.

That feeling, feeling. That feeling that feels, feely…

Oh, god. Is that even a real word?

Never mind…

…Almost like, an empty feeling that feels full.

Now I don't even know what I'm talking about.

But apparently Tsunade feels it to.

"So how'd he take it?"

Is this real life?

Am I dreaming?

Or my wishes for a family have been answered?

TBC…

Okay people. Just to tell you, reviews really do help the chapter come out faster. And as seeing as how school will be starting up very soon, I would need all the encouragement I could get to get the next chapters out until end of the school year, 'cause you know, this might not be out at the same times or as fast and completed until next year or later. Wow. That's a long sentence…

Review! It will make chapters come out faster! Really! It will!
