Just a few words before I start this. Emirri, are you psychic?
The heart beat was lovely.
Or should I say, both heart beats were lovely.
That little chugging sound filling the room was the only thing I could hear.
The beautiful static-y image on the screen showed two babies in their own little bubble.
I could just tell where the head and feet were of one while the other was just a messy blob.
"One's smaller than another. I'd have to say at least one or two weeks between the time of conception." said the operator of the machine.
The Hokage had slipped out once she convinced Naruto. Okay, maybe not convince as much as she just told him.
'Cause the Hokage is never wrong in a diagnostic. I don't know how he didn't believe it the first time. Probably didn't want to. Just like me, before I had realized just what this was giving me.
A family.
I had given up on that once I came to terms with being gay.
I don't want to question it. I won't question it. It's here and it's done and I'm happy with it.
I turn away from the wavering image of a miracle, to the slouched body of my boyfriend.
"Did you see them, Naruto?"
He razes his head like he was startled out of thoughts. A grin spreads on his face in record time. "Yeah, yeah. I saw them, I saw them." his head falls back down and his eyes are covered by his bangs.
He could hear the chugging, the pumping of blood. It echoed in his ears.
But it wasn't coming from the babies.
No. It was his own heart beating that he heard.
Only that and his tangled thoughts.
The only thing that really made sense was the one that kept going "They'll find out. All of them."
Oh how much he didn't want them to know.
How much more will he be hated if they found that out?
What would they do to him?
"Did you see them, Naruto?"
He lifts his head and quickly wipes the sullen look off his face. A smile that never reached his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I saw them, I saw them."
He falls back into his thoughts.
Not something he wanted. No, not at all.
"But then, of course, you could always get an abortion." Shizune said shyly.
Two heads whipped her way.
"Please." "Never."
Those two same heads then faced each other with questioning gazes.
"U-um, then you can just talk that over. I'll tell Tsunade-sama to expect you if you come to not want them." In-between the daggers being thrown towards each other, Naruto and Sasuke stood - after Sasuke got that gel off his stomach and put his shirt back on - and followed Shizune out to reception with a good-bye.
I would've never thought that Naruto hasn't thought of having a family. Especially since he's an orphan.
But to refuse me of all people to have happiness… Okay, more happiness.
That's, that's…
Does he even love me?
…
Why am I thinking that? Of course he loves me… doesn't he?
No Sasuke, don't think about it. Don't think of not being loved by the most important person in your world right now.
Bad Sasuke, bad.
All I can hear is the silence. The silence after a fight that I obviously lost.
Now I have to go in and get my wonderful life taken away from me.
Again.
No. No, I won't do it. I won't get rid of them. They might have made my life miserable the last few weeks and especially now, but it will be worth it in the long run. Nine months - no, eight? Seven? - whatever, it will be good to go trough the wait if I can have several years before they are gone, or me, who ever is first.
I need to write a letter. Several.
Going into the Hokage's office was one raven haired male.
He was pregnant.
He had triumphant smirk on his face.
He had three letters to send and a mission to file.
A classified information mission.
One that only the Hokage herself and one other person knew was all about.
Uchiha Sasuke was going missing.
And only six people will know exactly where he is.
TBC…
Less words than all the rest but I think I got across what was going on… the shit is going to hit the fan people, brace yourselves.
Time to go to bed, almost five in the morning, been up all day (okay, since only 'bout 2pm, but whatev's).
See. I told you that Reviews help the chapter come out faster.
