Sasuke's pov
"He is quite weak at the moment but he is still strong enough to fight just not go on any dangerous missions. He is supposed to be relaxing so that he can heal but you know what Naruto's like... I'm calling him back today anyway I've decided that Shikamaru will stay as my embassator in Sunagakure and Naruto and Sai can come home so that Sai can get back to ANBU and Naruto can begin his training for Hokage. I want you to go and help them as, Like I said, Naruto will be a little weaker than he was before."
"Yes, Hokage-sama." I nodded. I'm glad she is sending me. Even after hearing that Naruto is alive and well I have still been worrying about him. I love him... I admit it, finally, I am completely and utterly in love with the little blonde psychopath. I can't wait to have him home safe and sound.
With that I poofed out of the office and into my house. Sakura had moved out 6 months ago when she told me that she was pregnant with Lee's baby. I couldn't really force myself to hate Lee as I know that he has always been in love with Sakura... and Sakura... well, I hate her for what she has done but I told her that I slept with Naruto and she was so angry that we decided to just pretend the other didn't exist. It has been quite easy actually as everyone has taken mine and Naruto's side over Sakura and Lee's. That I am thankful for as I would hate for Naruto and I to loose all our friends just because of my and Sakura's break-up.
I packed my stuff and Immidiately set off into the woods. I would be there by tomorrow, at the latest.
Naruto's pov
My beautiful girl was now 6 months old. She could smile and laugh and was the most amazing thing. She could hold her own head up but she couldn't sit up by herself yet. Icarried her with me everywhere, I just couldn't put her down for long. She had to touch everything and she likes to lay on her belly on the carpet and rub her face into the carpet. It makes her giggle which in turn makes me laugh so hard I feel like my head is gonna fall off. She is the most amazing little girl and I couldn't wish for a more special baby.
I got a letter from baa-chan yesterday saying that in my weakened state she would prefer me and the baby at home earlier than planned. So Sai and I have been packed and ready to go with Rei for about an hour. The letter said that she has sent someone to escort us home and that he will be arriving sometime today. I had a feeling that baa-chan was up to something and I have a feeling that she has sent Sasuke. I was hoping she wouldn't but I'm pretty sure that she did. That just means that we"ll be home later than we were supposed to be as I will have to take today to tell Sasuke about Rei.
"Naruto... The guide is here... you were right, it's Sasuke." I sighed and motioned for Sai you bring him up. He disappeared only to re-appear a second later with Sasuke. Sasuke looked at me and gave a small smile I just looked back until my sleeping daughter began to fidget in my arms. I broke my gaze away from Sasuke and cuddled Rei close to my chest shushing and rocking her back into a peaceful sleep.
"Naruto... Is that a baby?" Sasuke asked shocked. I looked up at him.
"Yes it is."
"She looks like you Sasuke don't you think?" Sai cut in. Straight to the point is Sai. I sighed.
"W-what?" Sasuke stuttered. Looking at me with wide eye's. I was just about to answer him when Temari and Shikamaru burst into the room making quite alot of noise which woke up my baby.
"Guys! You woke her up!" I whisper shouted at them trying to calm the screaming child down.
"Oh, baby-Rei, I'm sorry. Come here." Temari said taking her out of my arms and huggging her close. Then she passed her to Shikamaru who shushed her and rocked her and, of course, she instantly fell silent, looking up at her uncle-shika with teary doe-eyes. I sighed again.
"Now what was so important that you couldn't come in camly and quietly?" I asked taking my daughter back. I settlied her on my hip and she took my jacket into her little hands and held on tightly.
"Well, you all know how Temari has been getting sick?" We all nodded. "Well we've just got back from the doctor. We're gonna have a baby!" Shikamaru explained. I jumped up and hugged them both tightly telling them how happy I was for them. They smiled back and only then did they notice Sasuke in the room. The smiles dropped from their faces as they glared at Sasuke.
I sat down with my daughter on my lap. She was smiling and reaching for my face while blinking up at me with her big, beautiful, blue eyes. She was a very beautiful baby.
"Naruto..." I looked up to see Sasuke. He looked worried.
"What is it, Sasuke?"
"Is it true? Temari, Sai and Shika just told me that you came here because you were pregnant because of your connection to Kyuubi. And that... that your baby... is mine?" I quickly looked away from him and back down at my daughter. She smiled at me and i smiled back as I kissed her little nose.
"Naruto! Answer me! Is. It. True?" I nodded and looked away from him. I heared a sharp intake of breath and I instictively cuddled Rei-belle close. I could feel Sasuke's eyes burning into the back of my skull while I continued to play with my baby girl. Eventually I got bored of Sasuke staring at me so I stood up , placing Rei once again on my hip and I moved towards Temari and Shikamaru.
"Ok well, we"re leaving now. Baa-chan wants us home. I'll see you soon. I said bye to Gaara and Kankuro earlier but say bye again for me. Keep me updating on the baby, ok." They nodded and hugged me goodbye and kissed Rei on the forehead.
"Rei-Belle wave goodbye to Uncle Shika and Auntie Mari." She quickly waved her little hand and then buried her head in the crook of my neck. I smiled and gathered Rei and my stuff which was stored in a single scroll and made my way out of the door followed by Sasuke and Sai. Hopefully we'd be home soon and I could hide in my apartment away from Sasuke.
I hope you liked it. x.
Read and review and I'll update as soon as I can. x.
