Tsuki: Ano… I'm losing my interest in writing this. But oh well, I'll just keep going. I'm just the type of person who bounces around, you know! Good, bad, happy, sad, love and hate! All those just smooshed into one little person! Ack!
Well, this time, disclaimer is by me!
Disclaimer: Let me put this in terms some of you can understand: me no owny Naruto.
6 Months into Pregnancy
^..^
"Sasuke-kun," Said man mumbled into his pillow, as his fiancé prodded his side with her finger without cease. "Sasuke-kun," her whisper was bit harsher now.
"Hm?" He seethed through the fluffy object.
"Can you get me some strawberries? And maybe a nice seedless watermelon?" He turned to look at her. Many a time had he stopped everything he was doing to do what she asked, this was no shock. Reluctantly, he nodded, and rose from the bed to get the indicated items.
Casually walking into the convenience store, the night-shift worker, Rin, waved to him. "Hello Sasuke-sama, what does Sakura need tonight?" She asked happily. Rin was not much younger than Sasuke, and was a very friendly girl, all he had to do was tell her what he needed and she got it for him. Low and behold though, when he returned with what Sakura requested, she was fast asleep, smiling to herself almost deceitfully.
Sasuke groaned and lay on his bed. He couldn't wait until this whole thing was over, but then again, once she gave birth, even more difficulties would await him. Though he did enjoyed challenges, so that would pose only minimal threat. Turning, he rubbed his hand on her swelled stomach. They said women glowed when they were pregnant, that was true. Yet they failed to mention that women also yell, throw things, punch, and cry when their pregnant, and it's all aimed on the husband. In the end though, Sasuke knew it would be worthwhile, once he had a family. He did want more than two kids though, in fact he wanted a large family, but they'd cross that bridge when they came to it.
Slowly he let his eyes drift close, knowing full well she'd probably be up in an hour asking for something else, but why not appreciate the moment, right?
The house was abuzz with life, at the Sakura (Uchiha) baby shower. All of the people she had invited had shown up, and the sun was shining brightly outside, where the first early-buds of flowers bloomed. The women were out in the garden, exchanging gifts and eating different sweets, while the men spent their time in the Uchiha Training Grounds. They grounds had been newly fixed up, and Naruto and Sasuke were breaking it in.
Sasuke was tied with him, in their final round and all the other boys eagerly awaited their turn to fight. Naruto dogged Sasuke Phoenix Jutsu and sent kunai flying at him, laced in paper bombs. So as you could tell they were having a good time.
Sakura took the girls into the room they would use for their daughter. Currently they were painting it purple, and having a wonderful time. Ino had even gotten Sakura two cribs, one of them with a white sheet set, the other with navy. In no time they had both rooms mostly full, and Sasuke had taken care of painting their soon-to-be sons room.
"Kiya~ Sakura-chan this is so cute!" Tsuki squealed, looking around the girl's room. "Oh I can't wait until you have your little girl! The little boy too!"
"Thanks for your help everyone! I really appreciate it, you have no idea, and my back has been aching like crazy! I don't think there's much else I can get for the twins, you all basically got me everything!" The group nodded and laughed when they heard a crash followed by the screaming of angry boys all yelling Naruto.
"Hinata, you better go check on him, or before you know it your kid won't have a dad." Tenten joked, and the girls laughed with her. Hinata nodded and walked out the door.
"I have to get going now. Th-thank you so much for inviting me, Sakura-chan. Bye!" She waved politely and headed out.
"Bye Hina-chan!" Tsuki called, and the others followed in suit. "Oi Sakura-chan, I have to go too, Rain-kun is supposed to be home this afternoon. Bye everyone!"
"Bye Tsuki-chan!" They all called as their white-haired friend left the room, her white wolf tail wagging happily. Soon the girls had all left, the boys too, and Sasuke and Sakura sat alone in their kitchen with Jinxy.
"Short baby shower..." Sasuke mumbled, patting the cats head.
"Yeah, well I was getting tired anyway." Sakura told him, putting away the dishes she just cleaned. There was a beat of silence, and Sasuke knew it was now or never.
"Sakura, I want to ask you something?" She didn't turn away from her dishes.
"What is it?" He sighed.
"I don't want you to be an ANBU anymore." She stopped what she was doing now, and a dark aura corrupted her. "I'm not saying you're not strong! I'm just saying it's very dangerous, and you'd be sent on a lot of missions, and we need to think about what's best for the kids. You can still be a Chuunin or Jounin even; I'm just asking you not to have such a life-threatening job…" She picked up the plate she had been working on, and ran the warm water over it.
"So…you'd rather have me have a team to take care of, then Konoha." She stated, and Sasuke didn't know how to answer, but luckily he didn't need to. "I guess that'd be okay. You have a valid point, but I'm still going to be working in the hospital. And I think I'd like to have my own team, while the kids are in the Academy." Sakura dried the last dish and put it away.
"Who said both of them will go to the academy? I'm not letting our little girl do anything like that, but Ryuu can. Kayako can become something else." Sakura turned to him angrily.
"Oh please, of course she can! It's her decision!" Sasuke knew she was right, but still, it worried him.
"Alright, alright, you win."
She smiled and picked up her purse from the corner of the counter. "I'm going out to shop, I'll be home soon." As she walked away, Jinxy looked up at him pleadingly.
"Fine, you too." The cat rose, stretched, and left after his fiancé, leaving Sasuke alone in his house. That was the feeling he hated the most, but soon, he knew, he would never be able to have any alone time…. He wasn't sure if that would be a blessing or a curse.
