A month later

Iruka was sitting on the porch with all the dogs (Shinjiru a big red fuzz sleeping in the shade with his paws hanging in the air) watching the three men in his life sparing in the yard. As it were with all the mess their arrival brought to the now jounin of Naruto's generation and the Hokage's office amongst the ANBU that believed at one point they were spies they had to go through a few weeks of chaos before things finally settled down… well almost. No one bothered to tell Iruka that Sasuke and Naruto were together and chaos started again when he caught the two boys, thank heaven, still in clothes but doing questionable things. It was another week of crazy until finally it was brought down to these quiet days that seemed almost like retirement to the very tired copy-nin and his spouse.

Iruka was absently rubbing Aya's tummy as he watched several close calls but the grin on their faces told they really were just playing, like kids and true enough Kakashi held those trademark bells strapped to a string on his belt.

It was an altogether pleasant day until Iruka paled, hand pressed on Aya's belly more firmly.

"Kakashi!"

The three men stopped and Kakashi was at his side, worry on his face.

Iruka didn't say anything and instead grabbed his lover's hand and pressed it to where his hand was on Aya's belly. "Kashi, am I imagining things?"

"Ruka." The man visible swallowed pulling down his mask. "No. No you're not. I think we're going to be grandparents."

Iruka's expression was a torrent of shock, happiness and in general WTF before he just passed out.
