Tsuki: Gomen everyone! I didn't update at all the other day! I'm sorry! Well, anyway, Happy Valentine's Day, hope you all have a hot date! Haha! In honor of this romantic time, Rain-kun, my wonderful ice-dragon wielder, gets to do the disclaimer! *wags tail*
Rain: Oi thanks Tsuki-chan. Listen up! Tsuki-chan doesn't own Naruto but god damn it if I had my way she would! You better review punk or so help me I'll-
Tsuki: *sweatdrop**waves hand dismissively* Rain-kun, really it's alright! Anyhow, I guess I'll get started with this chapter! Yay! By the way, each chapter will be time lapsing, so I'll warn you how much time has elapsed! Kay-kay!
5 Months into Pregnancy:
^..^
"Sasuke-kun, I'm so excited! Aren't you excited?" Sakura dragged her fiancé along, with one hand on the bulge in her belly. Sasuke nodded, ignoring the smiling faces of the passerby's, and just trying to get Sakura to calm down.
"Yes. Please slow down, don't over exert yourself." He grunted quietly. Currently the couple was on their way to the Konoha Hospital to see Tsunade to get an ultrasound. Needless to say Sakura was brimming with happiness.
She ignored his comment and continued weaseling her way through the busy crowds. "Oh I'm just so excited to see the little thing for the first time!" He couldn't help but smile as she said this, but quickly got rid of it so the crowd wouldn't see. He was still unused to having such an array of acceptable feelings. "Oh my gosh, here we are! I can't wait!" They entered the front room, and asked the lady at the desk, who was busily filing away at her nails, if Tsunade was in yet. She told them that she'd be out in a minute, and the two took a seat in the corner.
"Sasuke," Sakura began. "There's one thing we have to decide now." He waited for her to continue. "Do we want to know what gender it is now, or have it be a surprise?" He scoffed.
"I don't care."
"What do you want it to be?"
"I really don't care."
She tugged on his sleeve. "Oh come on, Sasuke! Tell me, be honest! What do you want it to be, a girl or a boy? I think I'd like a little girl, but I want an older brother for her… Hm…" He turned to her, and gave her a quick discreet kiss.
"I want whatever you want."
"Ugh, no that's not how it works!" Tsunade came in and puller her doctor mask down, smiling at the two.
"Hello Sakura, hello Uchiha, we're ready!" She smiled and the couple got up, following her into a room down the hall. "You know Sakura, it's been very busy here since you left, and I've had to take shifts!"
"Sorry, shishou. I would work if Sasuke would let me…"
Her shishou dismissed the thoughts, snapping on some gloves. "No no, he's probably right. I don't want you to use a lot of chakra while you're pregnant, it could mess up the chakra points of your child if you accidently used up their reserves." The kunoichi shuddered at the thought, while Sasuke smiled, sitting in a chair next to her.
"Told you it'd be best if you didn't work."
"Alright, now Sakura I'm just going to clean off your stomach, and then we'll begin. It will probably be only about twenty minutes." Sakura nodded, holding onto Sasuke's hand as Tsunade finished putting the cold jell onto her belly. Then she pressed the little machine part onto her stomach. Sakura and Sasuke couldn't see the screen yet, and Tsunade was looking at it intently. "It takes a moment for the fuzz to clear up." She told them.
Finally Tsunade turned the screen towards then and left the room to get the results. Sakura gasped lightly and felt tears brim as she saw the little baby on the screen move, and Sasuke smiled. That's our baby, he thought happily, now staring down at Sakura, ours.
"Oi Sasuke, what's that?" Sakura pointed to something near the baby, it looked strange. "Oh my god, what if our baby has an extra limb!!" She screamed.
"Sakura calm down, it's just the machine." He patted her shoulder. Tsunade came back in smiling, but before she could speak, Sakura bombarded her with questions.
"Is it alright? What's that on the screen? Is something wrong? Is it healthy?" Tsunade laughed.
"Yes Sakura, their fine, you'll have a perfectly healthy set of twins." Sakura sighed in relief.
"Oh thank god I thought for a moment… wait…. Twins?! I'm having twins?!" She shrieked and Sasuke froze, unsure of what to do. "Sasuke we're having TWINS!!"
"That's right; would you like to hear their heartbeat?" Sakura nodded and put her ear to the stethoscope on her stomach.
"How precious… Sasuke-kun, you want to hear?" She couldn't stop smiling and Sasuke nodded numbly. He listened to it for a moment, and soon heard the soft thuds of two little hearts. He smiled again, suddenly over-come with joy.
"Sakura, Sasuke, do either of you have a history of twins in your families?" Sasuke shook his head, he had no idea.
"Um… Well yes my aunt had twins."
"Then it's normal, you have a history of twins in your family. It's just when one…"
"I know what it is, don't worry." She smiled.
"So do you two want to know the sex?" The couple exchanged glances and Sasuke nodded. "Okay well," the Hokage pulled out a sheet and scanned it over. "It's a girl and a boy, both of which are very healthy."
"Kiya~ Sasuke-kun we're going to be parents of twins!" She cheered and Sasuke hugged her.
Later that day after Sakura had rushed home to call everyone she knew and tell them the wonderful news, she and Sasuke walked through the large main house.
"Sasuke, which rooms should we give to them? I want them to have separate rooms." She said, petting Jinxy who she held above her stomach (which she learned could be useful for balancing things, which she and Ino had found much amusement in). Said boy walked to the next room over from theirs. He pointed into it; it was a large room with a huge closet. It had a gigantic window that looked out onto the cherry blossom garden below it, with light colored bamboo floors. It was a very bright room.
"This will be Her room." They had settled on calling them Him and Her for now, since they hadn't yet decided on names. He wandered to the room not far down and on the other side of the hallway. It was also a large room with a nice closet. This one had not a giant window, but more storage space, and the windows it did have looked out onto the Hokage Mountain. "And this will be His."
She nodded. "I like them, they'll work. I want to paint her room purple by the way, and his room a dark blue."
"Why not pink and black? Or red and black?"
"Why are you so dead set on having our sons room be painted black?" She asked, looking around and trying to picture it as such. It wouldn't look terrible, there was enough natural lighting coming in all through the day to make it look less dark. "Alright, his room can be black, but I want the border of his windows, door and closet to be white, to lighten up the place. Oh, and we keep the light bamboo flooring." He nodded in agreement, and put his arm around her.
"I can deal with purple." He laughed slightly.
"Can you believe it; we're going to have our own family!" She squealed. "Do you think we're rushing into things though? You haven't been back that long, almost a year now, and besides that, don't most people wait until their married for a few years before having kids?"
He kissed her on the cheek. "We aren't most couples." She laughed.
"You're right I guess. Oh and hey, I'm having a baby shower next month, so be prepared. I invited the Hyuuga's, Naruto, Ino, Sai, Tenten, Lee, Kiba, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Tsuki. Rain's out of town."
"Neji too?" He seethed. Him and the Hyuuga never got along well, and he and Hinata never talked. She playfully hit him.
"Yes, now play nice, okay? I don't want anyone to ruin this for me." He just nodded. "Now then," he cringed at her tone. "Onto names."
Oh lord…
^..^
Tsuki: Aw, cute couple. Anyway I already have the boys name sort of, and I'm working on the girls name, but gimme some ideas that you like! They must have a meaning included too!
Okay so that was chapter 2, and I thought it went so-so. I have no idea what all takes place at an ultrasound because I've never been preggo (and won't be for quite some time), nor have I been to one. So cut me some slack. I'll start working on my next chapter now. Review please!
Happy Valentine's Day!
