Here's a little insight on how Itachi and Deidara's relationship came about. I decided to make this a chapter of its own, since it will make Deidara's anger towards Itachi more understandable. This chapter is fully on their relationship and all that's happened between them. Both Naruto and Sasuke will make appearances in this chapter- this all took place BEFORE Naruto took the pregnancy pill. So don't get confused when they're all lovey dovey. Hope you all enjoy!

Warning: Steamy sex between two guys, large time jumps, a bilingual Deidara, and Character Death.

SORRY FOR ANY ERRORS; REMEMBER NOT BETA'D. And I apologize if it seems a bit rushed.

Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me and it never will.


~Interlude~

"Give me a martini, Kimpachi...and make it quick." He growled out, letting those cerulean eyes gradually analyze the dark surroundings around him. He commuted from his job within the city to the small pug on the south western side of Konoha, whenever he felt the need to waste away. His long majestic blonde locks cascading in ripples of divine bundles down his broad shoulders, and nestled in the sway of his back. The black dress shirt held his body close in a tight embrace, as his slick kaki pants cupped his derrière and crotch; displaying his manly assets. The blonde haired man was a masculine guy, who held his own; never stayed tied down in any relationship ever handed to him. No, he was an uncaged bird, freely soaring through the sky with no restraints- no regrets. The mysterious red-head named Kimpachi, came around the corner and placed a small coaster in front of the blonde, before languidly- almost with great etiquette (if you dared to say so), rested the glass upon it. Deidara gave a stiff nod, for a silent thanks, and inserted a dollar bill into the tip jar. Onyx eyes watched him intently, before redirecting those transfixed orbs onto the television across the counter. Lacing his nimble digits through those long locks, the blue eyed beauty grasped the cold glass and drew it towards his lips seductively.

Taking a long swig, he closed his eyes and invested himself within the tangy taste of liquor, and inwardly moaned. He came to a halt in his drinking, placing the glass upon the marble table as the bar stool beside him shifted a little bit closer to his person. Cerulean eyes narrowed, before turning to meet a raven who's smile was so divine. His pearly white teeth, and attractive porcelain skin peeked interest in the blonde, who immediately took a likely to the man. His all black tailor made suit, with crimson cufflinks and a matching tie, made him look almost devilish, along with his black hair rushing down his muscular shoulders. The blonde angelic man scoffed as the raven watched him unabashedly, occasionally biting his plump bottom lip, at which cerulean lit up in delight. "Were you never taught that it's rude to stare?" The raven chuckled. Chills ran down the blonde's spine, and the raven obviously took notice to it.

"Some rules should be broken when there's something worth breaking them for-"

"-Do you take me as a fool, un?" Blonde locks whipped through the air, when the man turned hastily. "Besides...that come on was pathetic." The mysterious man chuckled again.

"I have you know, love...that come on has gotten me to third base numerous times..." He snapped his porcelain fingers, while he gave that divine smirk once more. "...Just like that."

"Hm, if you're trying to get laid tonight, it's a turn off to talk about your other sexual experiences." Onyx eyes flickered with delight. The blonde took another sip of liquor, while the raven watched.

"By the way, I'm Itachi Uchiha."

"Dei- Wait! The Itachi Uchiha?!" Said Itachi chuckled.

"I see you're interested in me now...why the sudden change?"

"Who said I'm just getting interested, un?"

"I can satisfy that interest." Itachi growled out husky, when Deidara smirked upon seeing his face. "I know a place just down the street, where I can pleasure your curious mind-"

"-You're way too handsome to be this eager." Deidara assured him, asking for another martini at which Itachi immediately offered to pay for.

"I've never been the one to chase, Dei...But when I see something I want..." Those onyx orbs sized up the blonde man, as a low growl left those lips. "...I take it down at any means necessary." Deidara smiled, before taking another sip of his drink and sighed.

"Is that so, un?" Itachi nodded assuringly. "If you get me drunk enough, you can take me in any direction." The raven's eyes became glazed over at that. His hand sneaking up the blonde's inner thigh, and ghosted over his clothed erection. The tightness within Deidara's pants kept his friend below from springing to life, and Itachi knew just how to break him.

"I'd rather fuck you sober...It's more appealing that way." Deidara sharply sucked in a gust of air, biting into his bottom lip when a firm hand grabbed his clothed erection. "If you don't come with me now, I'll take you here on the floor of this bar-"

"-Just...Just lead the way." Itachi grasped his hand, and lead the blonde hastily out of the bar. His raven locks slicing through the air, as he continuously rushed down the street with a stumbling blonde behind him. His strides were long and perfect, and his posture was that of royalty. The raven bursted through the doors of a luxurious hotel, nodding to the receptionist after taking the master suite's room key. Both men waited impatiently for the elevator doors to open, so the Uchiha heir could ravish his body all night long. Deidara sighed idly, practically loosing his erection by the seconds, until the raven abruptly cupped his crotch, and rolled his assets within his calloused palm. Deidara wilted against the wall, gasping out as succulent lips sucked upon his neck. The blonde arched his back, whimpering when the elevator doors open and Itachi ended his ministrations. "Please..."

"...I didn't want you to loose interest." Itachi spoke huskily, and pressed number 24 on the elevator, before stalking towards the vulnerable blonde in the corner of the elevator. Deidara's eyes widened at the sight of Itachi's bulging erection. For a man to be wearing tight pants, his package was in fact big- too big for Deidara to fully take in of you'd ask. "You like what you see, Dei?" Itachi inquired playfully, as he cupped the blonde's chin and angled his face. His hand felt scorching against Deidara's skin, and the lust radiating from those mysterious eyes enticed Deidara even the more. Why did he leave that bar? Was this really about to be a sexual experience he'd never forget? Thoughts were ripped from his mind as Itachi's delicious lips smashed down against his, while his masculine arms wrapped protectively around his lean waist. Hungry kisses and moans erupted into the silent elevator as they were lifted up to the 24th floor. Deidara moaned into Itachi's mouth, who ate it wantonly, before a soft bing erupted into the air, eliciting the raven to pull away unwillingly. The Uchiha led the blonde down the hall, his fingers entangled with Deidara's who allowed the raven to lead him. They reached the suite in no time, nor did Itachi waste anytime unlocking the jasper door. As soon as they stepped into the room, Itachi's lips were on Deidara's- once the bedroom door closed behind the two sexually excited men. The raven's kisses were heaven sent, and the way his masculine hands roamed Deidara's body delighted the blonde. Dei skillfully kicked off his shoes, moaning as the raven tossed him aggressively on the King sized mattress and lecherously crawled after him.

"I...I see you like it rough, un-"

"-Trust me, rough is just an understatement for what I can do, but for you... I'll go easy." The raven cupped the hem of his own suit, after removing his black coat, pulling the thin fabric from over his head and tossing it nonchalantly behind him. Deidara laid upon the mattress, admiring his chiseled abs and muscular arms. Itachi pounced on him, crushing his warm mouth against the latter's, as he plunged his tongue into the depths of Deidara's awaiting cavern. Tongue fretted with tongue, and the delicious taste of martini slipped into Itachi's mouth. He straddled over the shorter man, pulling away slowly as he wiped saliva from his lips. Long black hair rippled over his abs, and pink lips twisted into a devious smile. Dei panted for breath, allowing Itachi to unbutton his black shirt, as he face palmed himself tiredly. "For some idle reason, I want to cherish this moment with you Dei...Something I don't normally do." At the sound of that, the blonde became slightly appalled. He'd known Itachi was a promiscuous man by the way he tried wooing him back at the bar, but hearing it again made him slightly jealous. He wanted to believe that he was the only man getting such pleasure from the raven, and seeing as that wasn't the case- it was in fact a little turn off. Being lost in thought, Dei didn't know how naked he'd become until the raven tugged on his erection, snapping the blonde back to reality as he hissed in pleasure.

"Fuck!" Deidara yelled as a slippery finger wiggled into his spcinther. His cerulean eyes widened incredulously at that. When did he get the lube? When did Itachi get fully undressed? Why is he so fucking big? Will it fit? Itachi retreated and pushed back into the blonde's anus, placing both legs over his shoulders as he rocked his finger inside him. Dei moaned, wantonly rocking his hips into Itachi's thrusts. "You...You know just where to- SHIT!" Itachi chuckle. The blonde glared at him, gasping out as two fingers plunged into his hole. Deidara cried in ecstasy, at the feel of Itachi's tongue skillfully taking hold of his pink star-puckered hole. His legs were pressed up against his abdomen by Itachi's left arm, as his fingers plunged into his ass, while the slick tongue coated his opening in saliva. Time after time his ministrations picked up pace, while his tongue and fingers abused the insides of Dei's walls, eliciting the blonde to arch his back and become a heaping pile of moaning mess.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Stop! I'm, I'm gonna come!" Itachi rammed into his prostrate, throwing the blonde overboard who released his semen all over himself. Moaning as Itachi continued to eat him out, while the sticky sensation of his own ejaculation trickled down his neck. Scissoring the blonde insides, Itachi licked his inner thighs and nipped at the slit of his balls. Rocking the blonde's world. Foreplay had never been his thing, but the Uchiha did say he'd take his time, which wasn't a bad idea at all. Almost as if he'd read his mind, Itachi moved up on the blonde, lapping away at his cum covered neck, before slamming his lips abruptly against Deidara's who squirmed at the taste of his own sperm. Three fingers continued to dive into his ass, while his sun-kissed legs wrapped around the raven's lean waist, eliciting him to retract his fingers completely. Dei whimpered at the lost, gasping as he felt Itachi's moist head against his entrance. He's stretched him wide enough, and even made him wet enough for entry; however to be on the safe side, the young heir added lubrication to make the trip inside easier for the both of them.

He toyed with the blonde by rubbing his shaft teasingly against the now distorted opening, sucking the nape of his neck as hands roamed his porcelain back. The blonde's breathing rapidly increased as the raven pressed his lower half against his hole, stretching his anus more, while he opened his mouth and cried out. Itachi kissed the man passionately, slowly pushing into the scorching heat between the delicious globes of Deidara's ass cheeks. Itachi hissed, as the blonde clawed his back and whipped his head vigorously, while trying to contain his screams. "Fuck! Dammit, is it in yet?! It hurts!" The blonde bit his lip- almost to the point of drawing blood, as tears accumulated in his eyes, while Itachi stared down at him. The raven smirked the same wry smirk which adorned his beautiful face. Deidara had come to love and despise that visage. The raven inwardly chuckled at that, noticing the blonde's death glare.

"Dei...I haven't reached the tip of my dick yet..." Cerulean eyes widened, as Itachi licked his lips. "...But I'll stop if this is too much more you to handle."

"No-no-no-no, it's f-fine-Shit! Just...Just shove it in, at once." Onyx eyes widened at that, as Deidara panted for breath. "Just give it one good thrust, and I should be able to take...Hurry before I regret this, because I think all the drinking I did is going to my head." The raven nodded obediently, rising his hips a bit, before forcefully ramming inside Deidara's anus, who gasped for breath and cried out. "HOLY FUCKING HELL!" Deidara wilted into the bedsheets, panting for breath while the raven marveled over his naked flesh.

"You're mouth is filthy." Itachi announced, as he allowed the man under him to become accustomed to his size, before he started moving.

"Yeah...nnnngh...says the guy who- God...just ate my ass, and...fuck!...licked cum off my...mmm...neck-"

"-I would've sucked you off, but I couldn't wait any longer." Dei bit his bottom lip yet again to contain more moans as Itachi moved in and out of him. He thrusted deeply into the blonde, sucking and toying with the nape of his neck as the blonde held back his moans of bliss. Deidara contracted his legs around Itachi's waist, thrusting up to meet each thrust. Kami, this man was fantastic in bed. The pace quickened over time, and the blonde couldn't take it, when his legs were lifted into the air as Itachi thrusted animalistic into him. Oscillating inside him, pressing buttons Dei never knew he had, and this was only the beginning. He arched his back, begging the raven to pleasure him all the more. His blissful high was rapidly approaching, and Itachi refused to abide by his pleads to stop before he came. It was as if he'd wanted the blonde to orgasm yet again- and soon after, he did; screaming Itachi's name while he spewed his seeds onto himself once more. Itachi rested the blonde's legs back onto the mattress, pulling out fully before resting next to the blonde who continued to regain consciousness from his recent high.

That's when it dawned on him, that the raven himself hadn't came at all, since they started. Deidara rolled over kissing the raven passionately, as he felt Itachi grasp his waist and lift him over his attention seeking penis. The blonde hovered over the leaking head before he gasped yet again, feeling the organ slip inside him much easier than before. Itachi growled at the warmth radiating around him, which elicited him to cup the globes of Deidara's ass. "Go slow...I don't want you hurting yourself." Itachi ordered in a raspy voice, while straddling the latter upon his lap. The desire tainting his words, as the blonde nodded obediently. Deidara began to bounce upon Itachi's penis, eliciting the man to groan as he dug his fingers into the blonde's thighs and hips; steading him to a reasonable pace. Rising him up and down his large shaft, as Deidara bounced animalistic on his penis. Itachi thrusted up to meet the latter, feeling his own climax reaching as the latter rode. "Damn...Dei yes...baby ride this dick."

"Oh god, you're so big...so huge." Said Dei clenched the slick walls of his anus, grinding on the man as he continued to bounce; feeling Itachi swell inside him before bursts of cum shot up inside. Itachi groaned Deidara's name, as he came. This only elicited Deidara to climax for the 3rd time tonight. Too tired to speak, the latter removed himself from Itachi's lap, dropping onto the bed face first, while the raven laced his fingers through his own long black locks, and sighed idly.

"What are you doing?" Deidara glanced over at him at that, noticing the accumulating attention of the raven's shaft.

"I'm going...to sleep, I'm tired." A wry smirk reappeared on the raven's face, as he laughed.

"No you're not...I'm not done with you yet." Deidara groaned inwardly, rising up on all fours as Itachi rose from the bed, and pressed his moist shaft against the distorted opening of Dei's anus. He placed one hand on the lower portion of the latter's back to brace himself up, and with the other he gripped his hip to keep his thrusts steady. Soon after the room was filled with moans and grunts, as Itachi abused his ass. Deidara's arms went numb, eliciting him to collapse head down into the matress, while his hips continued thrusting backwards towards the raven, who fucked him senseless. Drool pooled from his mouth, and coated the pillow while, the blonde cried out for mercy. After watching the latter fall, the raven firmly took ahold of both the man's hips, holding them upright as he rammed in between the globes of his ass repeatedly. Relentlessly showing no mercy as Deidara cried out.

"Ugh...Itachi!...yes! Harder! Harder!" Itachi growled at the man, demanding him to rise on all fours, at which he complied. Deidara glanced over his shoulder, moaning lecherously at the sight of Itachi's sacs smacking against his derrière. The wet slapping of moist flesh filled the air, and the sweat tripping from their bodies somewhat cooled them. The blonde gritted his teeth at the feel of Itachi grabbing a handful of his blonde locks as he thrusted animalistic into his ass, rapidly doing him repeatedly before Deidara ejaculated 15 minutes later. Itachi removed himself and tossed the blonde onto his back, wrapping his arms around those sun-kissed legs, and pressed them towards his abdomen in an open 'V' shape. Deidara leaned back on his elbows, cursing loudly when Itachi slipped into him once more, and began oscillating. The blonde threw his head back, panting as Itachi fucked him senseless. "¡Papi dame mas! Más rápido, tú sentir tan bien!" Itachi chuckled at that, listening to the romantic words hastily leave those abused lips. Itachi continued ramming into him, watching the blonde moan loudly.

"Since when...did you start...speaking Spanish?" Itachi wryly inquired.

"S-Since, high schoo-OhYes!"

"Do it again...it's sexy, Dei." Itachi thrusted animalistic inside, leaving him vulnerable to take his thrusts full force. It made the blonde squirm and cry out, however he couldn't possible do anything but accept the overwhelming pleasure. Itachi moaned, watching his dick become enshrouded into Dei's heat, before those angelic words sent him over the brink.

"Ay Dios, te piensa amo tú Papi." Itachi came undo inside the blonde, while Deidara collapsed again. Whimpering after the raven pulled out languidly and flopped on the bed next to him. Covering the blonde in the silk bedsheets, Itachi laced his fingers through those golden locks and sighed heavily.

"Dei...We...We should go take a shower-"

"-No...too sore...I'm tired, I'll...take one in the morning." Uchiha smiled at that, rising up from the bed to go wash himself of the musty odor of sex.


4 Months Later.

"Well, I wanna say congratulations first off, I guess?" Naruto nervously announced, while sitting across from a plump Deidara. Clad in an orange Polo, denim skinny jeans, and all white Nikes, Naruto smiled eerily at the sight of his now pregnant cousin. Both Uzumaki's decided to meet up at their favorite diner to catch up on lost time, since the elder blonde vanished for 4 months without a trace. Now looking at his cousin, he finally understood why he wanted to be secluded from everyone. Deidara growled inwardly, propping his elbows on the top of the table, while staring at the menu passively. He was clad in an large black sweater (instead of the usual medium or even small), and jogging pants, with red and black Jordan's.

"Don't congratulate me...This wasn't suppose to happen." Deidara growled out, at which his cerulean eyes shot up to meet azure. Naruto frowned at that, but said nothing. "I should've told him to wear a condom-"

"-But you took your birth control, right?-"

"-Naruto, you'd think if I'd taken my birth control, I wouldn't be pregnant!" Naruto jumped at that, but Dei apologized thoroughly after loosing his temper. "I...I'm sorry, I'm more disappointed in myself for being so careless." The blonde with shorter hair rested his sun-kissed hand upon Deidara's, and smiled enthusiastically.

"Well, think about it this way, Sasuke and I wouldn't mind being the godparents. Whenever you need us, we're here for you." The elder blonde thanked him, before taking a sip of orange juice.

"Speaking of you and that Uchiha, how's things going?"

"It's great I guess. He's been struggling in school lately, due to all the hours he's been working at McDonalds. I mean, he's only 17, but he's taken everything pretty bad since Fugaku disowned him." Naruto's eyes averted at that, and Deidara could sense the guilt radiating from his person. Naruto blamed himself for Sasuke's exile from the family, however that still didn't give the man a right to just abandon his own son because of his sexuality. A raven haired waitress, sashayed over towards the two, popping a stick of gum, while Deidara and Naruto each gave their orders. "I'll have a slice of honey bun cake, a medium Sprite, and a little inside out burger- fully loaded."

"I'll have the regular inside out burger, with a large thing of French fries, large Coke, a small container of fried pickles, and a side of ranch." The waitress nodded, while writing down their orders before vanishing around the corner. "What?!" Deidara inquired, as his cousin gawked at him unabashedly.

"You're gonna eat a regular sized inside out burger? Is all this junk even healthy for you? I remember you could barely finish a small one!-"

"-Nope, it's not healthy but I'm pregnant now, Naru." He countered with a duh attitude. "Lately I've been eating anything, I can get my hands on. Hell, I hate pickles-"

"Why'd you order them then?"

"Because they looked so freaking good on that menu." Dei whined childishly, which elicited Naruto to laugh. "It's hard being pregnant, and it's only a matter of time before I find out the sex of the baby- hopefully it's a little boy-"

"-Why would you want a baby boy?" Deidara sipped his orange juice, and rested the glass back onto the coaster. His eyes held that of pride, and Naruto became fond of it.

"Because I don't know a damn thing about dealing with women. Why you think I went gay? Hell, guys have two emotions- hungry and horny...HOT DAMN, problem solved!" Naruto and Deidara laughed hysterically at that, before Naruto bursted his bubble unnecessarily.

"But hungry is not an emotion, Dei." The elder blonde narrowed his eyes. Naruto smiled nervously, and rubbed the back of his neck while sweat dropped down his face. "I...I'm sorry-"

"-You know what, I need call someone really quickly."

"Gonna go call your baby daddy?" Deidara narrowed his eyes once more, before wiggling out of the booth, and slightly wobbling outside of the diner. A cool gust of wind blew through the air, swishing his hair back and forth, while his fingers dialed the Uchiha's number. Thankfully, he was nice enough to keep some contact with him, but after their one night stand, he didn't see the man at all after that- nor did he call. He placed the phone against his ear, tapping a rhyme on the concrete with his foot. It ringed three times before, Itachi finally answered.

"Hello?" He snarled out, practically enraging the blonde upon hearing such tone.

"Hey, Itachi...it's me Deidara." The raven sighed idly-almost in an exasperated tone, at the sound of that name. He'd forgotten all about that blonde angel, after they'd had sex some months ago.

"Oh yeah, Dei...what's going on? You need anything?"

"I...I, well I need to tell you something important, and I hate that I have to tell you on the phone instead of in person, un."

"Okaaaaaaayyyyy?...What's wrong?"

"I'm...I'm pregnant, Itachi." Silence attacked the blonde's ear, however he could still hear the raven's breathing on the other line. Was it awkward? Hell yes! Did Deidara really think this was the best idea to divulge his pregnancy to the baby's father? Not quite, but this was the only way. He heard the man curse inwardly, before he cleared his throat and sighed.

"How far along are you?"

"Four months-"

"-Damn, I had hoped not." Deidara became enraged at that. "Dei, I...I don't doubt that this is in fact my child, but it baffles me that you actually got pregnant-"

"-It's too hard to explain on the phone, Itachi. I find out the sex of the baby in 2 months, but doctors are giving me these vitamins that will help the baby grow, since it's a little underweight, un." Itachi scoffed at that.

"Well, it's good to know you're taking care of my child, while I'm out. I wish you would've called me months ago, I'm heading to the airport right now, to fly to Japan for a while. I won't be able to go to any doctors appointments with you, but I promise I'll send you money each week-"

"-Just promise me, you'll be back in time to see the baby being born." The raven chuckled upon hearing Dei's request.

"I promise, Dei."

"Well...I'll keep you updated."

"Okay...Bye Dei."

"Bye."


2 Months Later.

Minato stood proudly next to his nephew, holding the blonde's hand firmly as the nurse applied gel onto his now 6 month stomach. He'd gained a lot of weight, and lately his blood pressure had begun to rise over the course of a month. Doctors were very concerned about him, and the safety of his child. Itachi had called approximately 3 weeks ago, to ask if his money had arrived to the blonde's bank account. And it had. He hadn't went shopping for any baby materials, since he was unsure of the sex of the baby. Deidara looked up at his uncle, smiling nervously when Minato's azure eyes looked down on him. Kushina stayed home to cook a family meal for everyone, and Naruto was attending school so he didn't get to come- which bothered him. "Just breathe, Dei. Everything is gonna be just fine." He nodded obediently, shuddering when the nurse placed the camera only his belly, and began moving it around. She studied the image, before smiling widely and turning to meet both blondes.

"Looks like it's a baby girl, Deidara." He gawked at the nurse, averting his eyes towards the screen, as she pointed out her feet, her arms, and how she didn't have a little penis attached anywhere. So this would be his baby girl- his and Itachi Uchiha's baby girl. Minato asked for a copy of the ultrasound, brushing blonde locks from Dei's face, who thanked him.

"Looks like, she's gonna be a mommy's girl." Minato announced, while helping the blonde walk towards his car. He wobbled back and forth, resting his left hand upon the lower part of his back. "Since you know the sex, you wanna go shopping for car seats, bassinets, and clothes?" The blonde shook his head no, and rushed over to the passenger side of the car.

"I just wanna eat and sleep right now. Can we stop by Rick's? I want an inside out burger!"

"But Kushina is cooking dinner tonight-"

"-Trust me uncle, this little girl can eat." Deidara laughed playfully, while rubbing his round belly once Minato stepped into the driver's seat. They backed out the parking space, and headed down the road to Rick's. Deidara lolled against the window, occasionally glancing over at his uncle who continued to drive in silence.

"What do you plan on naming the baby?" Minato inquired abruptly, once they reached the drive thru line of Rick's.

"For a girl, I've always liked the name Kana."

"Kana?"

"Yeah, Kana Uchiha." Minato's eyes widened at that. Deidara never told anyone who the father was, and he knew his uncle Minato and aunt Kushina would flip when they found out.

"Uchiha?! You had sex with an Uchiha?"

"Yeah, but it...It wasn't intentional, it kinda just happened." Dei blushed while telling his uncle such personal information.

"You do know, Fugaku isnt one who's fond of homosexuals?"

"Yeah I already know, that's why Itachi told me to keep the baby a secret, until he took over Fugaku's company. That way, when he finds out about his grandchild and son's sexuality- it'd be too late, since all rights would already be signed over to him." Azure eyes stared passively into cerulean.

"And you actually think that will work?"

"I mean, Itachi is a very smart guy-"

"-But Fugaku is smarter." The pregnant blonde frowned at that. "I love you like my own son, Deidara, but you just be careful. There's an innocent child involved in this now, and I don't want anything happening to her."

"Yes sir."

.

.

.

.

"There's my beautiful nephew and future great-niece!" Kushina exclaimed as she walked out of the kitchen to greet Deidara. He hugged her tightly for a few minutes, listening to her motherly advice. "Look at you, Dei! You're practically glowing." He thanked her. Said Dei let the woman rub his round stomach, and talk playfully to his baby, when Naruto veered the corner.

"Dei-Chan!" Naruto teased, eliciting the elder blonde's eyebrow to twitch at the humiliating nickname.

"Don't call me that you, brat-"

"-You're pregnant, so why not?" Naruto whined, while hugging his cousin.

"Because..." He leaned forward and hissed into the latter's ear. "...It's a turn on, and I've been sexless for 6 months now, don't push it!" Naruto turned beet red in the face, gagging playfully, until Sasuke came around the corner and gave Dei a stiff palm wave.

"So it's true...you are pregnant." Sasuke stated, averting his onyx eyes to Deidara who scoffed. They weren't exactly the best of friends, but they occasionally got along with one another for the sake of the family. "So, who's the father?-"

"-That information is confidential."

"And after all this time, I thought you were lying about getting laid-"

"-You twit!" Deidara lunged at the raven, who smirked deviously and stalked towards the kitchen to help Kushina set up the dinner table.

"Dei, you can't attack my boyfriend. He's mine to pounce on, and besides you're pregnant- don't hurt the baby." He cursed under his breath, wobbling over to the dinner table to sit next Kushina who smiled. Naruto and Sasuke both sat across from him, while Minato sat at one end of the table. Kushina led everyone into grace, at which Deidara and Naruto dug into the food like rabid animals. Everyone had become use to Naruto, eating as if each meal was his last, however it baffled them how much Dei scarfed down his food. But they were soon reminded of his condition. Everyone ate and conversed with one another- mainly Naruto's parents telling Deidara about parenthood and other important things he needed to know about being a parent and giving birth.

.

.

.

"Will Itachi be there?" Kushina inquired of her nephew, as he sat on the edge of the guest bed. Minato had taken the woman to a secluded room, and told her about Dei hooking up with the eldest Uchiha heir. Since he was pregnant, Kushina thought it'd be best if he lived with them for a while. Just to keep a close eye on him. The blonde pulled his hair into a tight bun, nodding assuringly.

"He's suppose to be, but I don't know."

"He has helped you out, right?"

"Yes ma'am. He's been sending money overseas- like hundreds, even thousands of dollars for my medical bills. He's paid for all my vitamins, and he's doing somewhat of a good job."

"Just somewhat?"

"Yeah, I mean he's not around to rub my belly when it cramps up, he doesn't come to my doctor's appointments, and Kana hasn't heard her father's voice at all." Kushina slightly frowned. Dei was right with what he said, and he had a right to be angry with Itachi. The man got him pregnant, and just left- sending money didn't show any love for Dei or his own child, because everyone knows love can't buy happiness. The woman rose from the bed and stretched.

"Well, goodnight Dei. Get some rest and take care of yourself...I heard your BP was a little on the high side today. Do I need to beat your behind?" The blonde chuckled, shaking his head 'no' as she blew him a kiss. "Goodnight to you too, Kana."

"Goodnight auntie, Hina." Deidara spoke, before the red-head closed the bedroom door behind her.


1 month Later.

Deidara had just come home from his doctor's appointment, since he was currently hitting the final trimester. He was 7 months and 3 weeks pregnant now, and hating it. The anxiety of giving birth finally kicked in, but he had 2 more months to prepare himself for the idea. Lolling against the headboard, the man flipped through the channels on his flat screen tv, while rubbing circles on his stomach. Kana kicked vigorously, and he'd come to like the feeling. At first her random kicking frightened him, but later through his pregnancy he became to enjoy it. It showed him that she was still there with him no matter if her father wasn't. They hadn't communicated in a month or two, and whenever he tried to call Itachi; he would be sent automatically to his voicemail. Deidara settled on watching Teen Titans, until a sudden yet painful surge shot through his body. "Dammit." He hissed, rubbing his lower back were the pain seemed to intensify. "Kana must've kicked me wrong." He mused; redirecting his attention back towards the television until yet another painful surge hit him again, this time almost bringing him to tears. "Fuck! Uncle Min! Aunt Hina!" Deidara exclaimed, sliding out of bed, as he use the wall for support. He held the lower part of his stomach, gritting his teeth once pain came back to attack. He groaned in agony, rushing towards his uncle and aunt's bedroom as fast as his 7 month stomach would allow him. Was he going into labor?! This was too soon! "Minatooooo! Kushinaaaaaaa!" He yelled, cursing as pain stabbed him in the back yet again. Said Minato and Kushina came rushing up the stairs, immediately dashing towards their nephew, who cried on the floor.

"Dei, baby what's-what's wrong?!" Kushina inquired hastily, while holding the young man in her arms. She massaged his back, watching him calm down until he suddenly yelled out in pain.

"I...I think the baby is going!" Dei yelled, feeling Minato help him rise to his feet.

"When do you feel the pain?"

"Every- FUCK! 3 minutes maybe-"

"-Shit!" Minato exclaimed, rushing to grab his car keys while Kushina escorted Dei down the stairs.

"Today's the day, Deidara. You're gonna be a mother." The blonde cried, gritting his teeth as pain jolted through him.

"I don't wanna have this baby! It hurts!"

"Oh trust me love, I understand. But just think, she'll be such a lovely child."

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!" He yelled, wobbling hastily towards the car with a scared Kushina running after him. "I WANT THIS BABY OUT!" He growled, panting for breath as Minato hopped into the driver's side, and jammed the key into the ignition.

"Don't worry, she'll come out." He assured his nephew.

"Minato, I'll meet you guys later at the hospital. Dei, remember what I told you." She announced, rushing back into the home, while Minato backed out the driveway and raced down the road. Dei began to sweat, vigorously whipping his head left to right, as the pain became more and more intense. If he knew getting pregnant and giving birth would be this painful, he would've told that Uchiha prick to wear a condom 7 months ago.

"My nephew has gone into labor, and he needs a room like right now!" Minato yelled nervously, as the receptionist noticed the screaming blonde behind him.

"Yes sir, wait one sec." She ran down the hallway to retrieve a doctor, while Minato held onto his nephew.

"Call...Call Itachi. Tell him- FUCK!...about Kana!" Deidara slouched over, feeling many hands grab him. He arched his back in the wheelchair, watching Minato search through his contacts.

"Hello! Is this Itachi?!...This is Minato-Deidara's uncle, and I'm calling to let you know that he's going into labor as we speak...Yes, Kana's coming early...how long will that take you?!...Okay, hurry back safely. See you soon." The shaggy blonde sighed exasperatedly, rushing after the nurses to labor and delivery.

"I HATE THAT UCHIHA!" Deidara exclaimed, arching his back on the bed as both his and Kana's heartbeats filled the once silent air. Minato ordered for him to calm down, since his rapid heart rate only made Kana's decrease even more. "They're gonna gut me like a fish, Min-"

"-Just calm down. Itachi says he's on his way from Japan, although it might take him a while to get here."

"I don't care anymore, I just want this baby out of me!" Doctors came into the room, each wearing protective material, while the blonde man watched them push in a tray of utensils.

"Hello, Mr. Uzumaki...you ready to have this baby?" He cried and shook his head no, feeling his uncle grab his hand firmly. "Are you the father?" One of the nurses inquired, at which Minato assured her that he was not the father of the baby, but instead the uncle. "Okay, Deidara. Just breath, while I numb your waist." The blonde nodded vigorously, slowly inhaling and exhaling as the needle was pushed into his lower back. "In about 10 minutes the medicine should be working, and we'll began the Caesarean Section." Minato brushed Deidara's blonde locks from his face, meeting those pleading cerulean orbs.

"Uncle Min...what if he doesn't make it?-"

"-Don't say something like that. Itachi promised he'd show up-"

"-But he's an Uchiha." Minato chuckled at that, listening to Kana's slowly decreasing heart rate. Something was definitely wrong with the baby, and Minato didn't like it.

"Okay, Deidara, we're gonna take ms. Kana out now." His gynecologist cheerfully stated, when she reentered the room, and pulled her mask over her face. Four other nurses entered the room as well, while on fixed Deidara's IV, and the other placed an oxygen mask over his face. "Just breathe Deidara, the baby is somehow loosing her circulation, but it's only a minor problem." They placed a curtain like railing over his round stomach to shield Diedara from the splashing of any excess blood. The raven haired woman grabbed the scalpel, order the nurses to hold up the hospital gown while she cut across the lower portion of the blonde's abdomen.

"The baby's heart rate is continuing to drop!"

"Okay, let's get you outta there, sweetie." She inwardly spoke, slowly slicing Deidara's stomach open with precision, and great accuracy. Blood poured from the wound, while Minato stroked his nephew's hand, and coached his breathing. One nurse wiped sweat from the doctor's face while other sponged up the blood to make it easier for her to see. It felt like hours in the delivery room, but not before long a nurse held the purple looking baby girl in her arms, while Deidara's cerulean eyes widened incredulously.

Oh God.

"Get her wiped down, and hook her up to the monitor." Kana wasn't crying; wasn't breathing, just laying there lifeless in the woman's arms. Deidara just watched as the nurses worked on his daughter, but Minato took notice to it and blocked Dei's view as the doctor stitched him up, after taking out the afterbirth. Deidara's heart rate quickened, and the elder blonde could tell his nephew was going into distress. They'd bought Kana plenty of baby toys, chew toys, clothes, a crib and a matching bassinet; and to watch her practically die before his very own eyes broke the blonde inside.

"Doctor!"

"Take her to the NICU!" The women rushed out the room with Kana. The blonde cried softly to his uncle, once the doctor finished the stitches, removed the curtain and took off his oxygen mask.

"You said her heart rate was a minor problem!" The raven haired doctor stopped at the door and sighed.

"I know, Deidara. I'm sorry, but I knew if I told you the truth, you'd go into shock and cause more harm to your daughter. We're trained professionals, we'll do all we can to help this baby." And with that she left the room.

"It's gonna be okay, Dei. She's gonna be just fine."

Itachi rushed down the hallway of the hospital, his onyx eyes wide as nurses shouted orders all around him. After getting the call that Kana was coming, he canceled his meeting and headed back to Konoha on the first plane available. His long hair was held in a low riding ponytail, as the tall man continued running. He wouldn't stop until he knew he'd found his baby. "Itachi?" The raven froze in his steps, turning to meet an enraged blonde who frowned intensely. The Uchiha heir simply watched him nonchalantly as he approached. "Deidara's been through a lot because of you, and I'm disappointed that you couldn't be here for your own chid-"

"-I understand I missed out on a lot, but I have a job!-"

"-Is that job more important that your own daughter?!" Itachi gawked at Minato who scoffed idly. "It obvious was, since you didn't stay."

"Where's...Where's Deidara?" Minato jammed both hands into his pockets and gritted his teeth. He wanted to beat the shit out of the Uchiha, but he held the urge in. He didn't want to fight in the hospital, that would be very irresponsible of him. "He's in room 207, resting. They had to rush Kana to the NICU, she's not doing so good-"

"-What?! What do you mean?!-"

"-She wasn't breathing when she was born, and her weight isn't enough to keep her alive." Itachi laced his fingers through his hair, and cursed aloud. "I hate to say it but she might-"

"-Don't you dare say that! Kana is an Uchiha- she's a fighter dammit!" The man rushed down the hallway towards the NICU, veering corners and hospital personnel. "Hey...hey, I'm here to see Kana Uchiha." He practically growled at the fat receptionist who gawked at him. "Can you show me my daughter?! Please!" The woman nodded, dumbfounded that the Itachi Uchiha had come into her presence.

"Pull your sleeves up and follow me." She ordered, leading him to a room full of babies. She tossed him a doctor's suit, and slipped into it easily, before covering his mouth and nose with a white mask. They stepped into the room, and he practically fell apart at the sight of the incubator labeled: Kana Uchiha. Her sun-kissed skin held a slight purplish hue to it, and her slick raven hair adorned her cheeks. She looked gorgeous. "You can hold her if you'd like." The man looked at her hesitantly, resting in the seat next to his daughter, smiling as she kicked idly in the air. She was a fragile little thing, and he'd tell anyone how beautiful she was. She wore a little hello kitty onesie, with a pink molding cap, to shape her head. Deidara had done a great job- he'd blessed the raven with something magnificent. The nurse turned the temperature of the room to a comfortable temp that the baby could withstand, and she carefully opened the chamber and picked her up. Her silent wails and frantically kicks brought a slight smile to Itachi's face, as she cried out. Hesitantly he accepted his child, cradling the baby in his arms protectively. As if she knew exactly who he was, her crying ceased and she began grabbing around of his doctor's suit. Her eyes were squinted shut, but the way she'd calmed down in her dad's presence shocked him and the nurse who stood by for safety reasons.

"Hey Kana." Itachi whispered. He wasn't experienced with this kind of thing, nor did he find it appealing to talk to a baby that knew nothing coming out of his mouth- it was like talking to Sasuke. "Well...it's daddy here, baby...and I wanna let you know I love you a lot...and I love your mommy too for bringing such a beautiful little angel into my life." He watched the baby yawn, and the dreaded tears trickled from his eyes and down his cheeks. He should've come back a long time ago, and spent more time helping Deidara instead staying away for so long. He held her for 15 more minutes, until he noticed how purple she started to become. The nurse noticed it too and immediately hit the alarm, before rushing over to the raven. She took the child from him, placing her back into the incubator as several doctors rushed inside and hooked the little girl back up to the machines. Itachi felt hands grab him, escorting the man out of the room as several doctors worked on his dying daughter, but not without the man fighting back. "Kana!...KANA!...KANA, BABY HANG IN THERE! DADDY...Daddy loves you." The last of the sentence fell short, as he felt Minato pull him into a tight embrace. The sounds of frantic doctors filled the room, until the sound of a long dragged out beep filled the air. Kana was dead. There in the blonde's arms he wept.

"Ssshhh, she's going to a better place, Uchiha." Itachi didn't reply, he simply held the older man and cried until he couldn't bring himself to cry anymore.
