"Oh God my eyes!" Kiba shouted as he ran from the room, hands rubbing his eyes in hopes, I assume, to remove the images he had witnessed.

"We told you not to go in there." I heard Tenten say in a sing song tone in the background causing all the sand nins that sat around the table with her to nod in agreement.

"Fuck! Shut the damn door Kiba!" I shouted, attempting to cover as much of the bastard and I as I could. Damn, right when it was getting good. Sasuke growled while wrapping his arms around my frame and lifted me in air with the blanket draping around us. He walked over to the door and slammed it closed with his foot before returning to the bed. Now this would have been fine if he had…removed a certain part of his anatomy from my body. I almost bit my lip off with every damn step he took. I opened my eyes to find his smirking face looking back at me. The damn bastard did it on purpose! Angered I grabbed his neck and started the war all over again.

Three hours later I woke up to an empty bed. I sighed and snuggled deeper into the covers, not wanting to face the world quit yet.

In four days and Takahiro would be here. Tsunade told me that it was normal for babies to be born one or two days early or late, so most likely I wouldn't go into labor in four days. Of course the kind and understanding friends that I had begun making bets on whether the baby would be early or late, proving who the child would be like. If he was early he would be like Sasuke and if he was late apparently he would be like me…stupid jerks…However the closer the due date came the more nervous I got. I knew this was a time to be happy and excited and when I was in front of everyone that was exactly how I acted, but the truth was I was a nervous wreck. So much was at stake when I went into labor, Takahiro, the village, and I'm not trying to exaggerate but the world. So yeah a lot on my plate.

I would start thinking about it all and the stress would start to overwhelm me and my heart would start to feel like it was constricting until I couldn't breathe. I took a deep breath while chasing away those thoughts. I opened my eyes looking at the empty space that filled the bed.

Sasuke normally was dragged out of bed while I was asleep to do some parenting lessons. It was hard, taking the lessons of what to do if our child was mentally or even physically handicapped. Their life was constricting, but what the saddest part was that they would never know just how constricting it would be. It upset the bastard, I mean it upset me too but I knew the bastard had hopes of our child being a strong ninja and continuing the clan.

We got in a huge fight about a couple days before and really let it all out. It was about how our son wouldn't be normal, he would be useless and maybe it would be a good thing that he died, it was better than living such a pathetic life. You can bet your bottom dollar I slapped the shit of him.

"He is our son! My son! Just because he may not be as smart or as beautiful or as agile as the others what right do you have to tell him to drop dead? Fuck you asshole! You drop fucking dead! If you don't want to be a part of his life then get the fuck out of here! You're not welcomed here if that's how you fucking feel!"

"What the hell are we supposed to do with him?"

"LOVE him!" Sasuke went silent at my response and I panted while I cursed the tears rolling down my face. Dumb hormones…

I felt myself shiver from the sheer force of my anger but I tried to calm down.

"He may be 'useless' to everyone else but he will never be 'useless' to me. Everyday Sasuke he is going to do something, achieve something, learn something new and even though it won't be monumental it will still be an improvement. And I know that when he does I will be there for him and give him all the love he needs…all the love he deserves. Will you?" Sasuke looked at me for a while but I knew he wasn't going to say no. He was frustrated, angry, and a little scared of what might happen. And I could understand that, I could forgive it.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted and I gave a sigh of relief at his confirmation that no, he wasn't going to leave.

"Bastard." I breathed as his arms lightly wrapped around me. After that the teme carried me to bed and I was so drained I didn't even have the strength to argue.

I shut my eyes once more at the memory and willed my body to go to sleep again. It didn't take much convincing as I could feel the pulls of sleep take me under. The farther I got into my pregnancy the more exhausted I became. Honestly the little rut the bastard and I had earlier was becoming more and more scarce and it wasn't even all the visitors we had that made it so rare. My body just seriously couldn't take it. While I drifted from dream to dream I wondered if Sasuke blamed me for what our child would be like if he lived. I would have asked but considering the argument we had had I was pretty sure I knew the answer.

I felt something lightly pressing my stomach and I snapped my eyes open in alert. I quickly spotted Sasuke hovering over my stomach and in my sleep fogged mind I came to a terrible revelation. Sasuke was trying to kill our baby. I found myself frozen in place as I watched Sasuke slowly bring his hands to lightly touch the skin on my belly. No he wouldn't do this, he fucking wouldn't do this to Takahiro…to me!

He rubbed my stomach in soothing circles, maybe after feeling me tense, but soon brought his face down and placed a gentle kiss above my belly button.

"I love you. When I said those things…I'm sorry, I will love you, just as much as your 'Papa' does. I promise…" He whispered against my skin while a sad smile curled his lips. I never thought that falling more in love with the bastard was humanly possible but, and I would never tell him so girly, I was proven wrong. The sob that escaped my chest was uncontrollable and honestly I didn't even try to keep it in. Sasuke snapped his head up and I saw as embarrassment flooded his features at getting caught doing something so…loving.

"You stupid bastard!" I yelled while punching him in the shoulder.

"You are trying to make a fool of me by making me cry so much!" I continued to yell while I reached forward to him. He didn't move but I found that I didn't care and continued to cuddle into the stone man.

"I love you…I love you so much…" I said between manly hiccups. The teme snorted but finally seemed to relax and hesitantly brushed the strands of my hair.

"Dobe." He said while his other arm made awkward jerky movements up and down my back, I'm sure his attempt in soothing me, which brought on a whole new set of tears. I mean how many people did Sasuke willingly comfort? By the way he rubbed my hair and back I was guessing it wasn't too many. I was just so full of…everything that I couldn't hold it in. This may or may not have led to another three hour nap. But this time when I opened my eyes the empty space had been filled and now rested a complete bastard. But damn if I didn't love it.

"We don't need the directions this is all just common sense." I said distractedly as I tried to sort out all the parts of the brand new crib.

"But that would require you having common sense and a penis." Sai said with that fake smile. Embarrassment and anger welled up inside me as I once again wondered how Sai even got involved in this…oh yeah Tsunade that evil evil women….

"Sasuke come here." Tsunade boomed while standing tall in the doorway. Sasuke lazily turned his head toward her, his brow raised in question. Tsunade huffed before rolling her eyes.

"Brat you need to come to parenting lessons." She growled while not moving a muscle to retrieve him.

"Can't it wait? We're building Takahiro's crib!" I said in defense. Ain't no way in hell I was building this damn bitch by myself! Plus it was the bastard's idea saying that I had spent too long in bed, though I knew he was concerned about me. It was April 4, the day that baby Takahiro was supposed to take his first breath, and I was losing it. I'm pretty sure Sasuke realized that I was about to lose my mind and so, as the bastard that he is, demanded that I do something. I hated to admit that being busy did help me keep my mind off things, even if it was just a little. But it wouldn't help if Sasuke left! He was the main reason why it was so easy to forget! Plus wasn't this shit supposed to bring us together as parents! Stupid Granny!

"I already thought of that. Sai has readily agreed to assist you in any way that he can." Tsunade said with a smirk and I felt my face pale when I saw said man walk in.

"Hello fishcake." He said in cheery voice but somehow it lacked the normal emotion one would have when saying it. Ah well at least he was improving since the first time I met him.

"Are you crazy?" I shouted.

"What just pretend that he is the Uchiha," Sasuke growled at that.

" and things should go fine."

"You can't just assume because they are both bastards that it will be the same! Their levels of bastardiness is completely different!" Yes I did just make up a word to describe the existence of the two assholes in front of me. It was the only way to get my point across

"I least I have a penis and a brain."

"I have a penis damnit!"

"Ah so you do lack a brain."

"Wha-n-no I have one! Shut up!" I shouted turning to demand the bastard to back me up. But when I turned my head to face Tsunade once more she and the teme were gone…damn.

As you can see this fight had continued while we attempted to build the crib.

"What does my penis have to do anything with my common sense?" I finally restored back.

"Nothing it is just another thing you lack." He said still smiling. I felt the anger course through me, because apparently to Sai I wasn't stressed out enough as it was! No he just had to go and get me all worked up!

"You jackass I'm so gonna kick your as-URGH!" I stood up to wring Sai's scrawny little neck when a sharp and unexpected pain surged through my pelvis.

"URGH!" I shouted when another, more intense pain pounded through me again. The pain wasn't too bad just uncomfortable and made want to move around to in hopes of fixing it.

Sai was at my side in an instant and before I knew it so was everyone else. Before I could blink Tsunade had made a path and someone was carrying me out of the room. By the time I looked up to see who was carrying me the teme had placed me on the bed and now only Tsunade, Shizune, and Sasuke where in the closed off room.

"What the hell! Did you guys fucking drill that routine or something?" I asked while trying to sit up on the bed.

"Take off your clothes." Tsunade said seriously.

"Wha-"

"Take off your clothes Naruto." She repeated once more but her voice was louder and firmer. Sensing the panic filling the room I found myself shakily taking off my clothes.

"Hn. Dobe." And I snapped my head up to meet black eyes as his cool hand slowly replaced mine in helping remove my clothes. And though now I hate to admit it I was so relieved he was there to take charge.

Soon my legs were spread and I found Tsunade in a position I never wanted to find her again. She…spread my ass cheeks while touching my hole! This couldn't get anymore awkward….

"You're having contractions." I heard her casually say as I tried to imagine that I was anywhere but where I was at that moment.

"WHAT?" I shouted when the words caught up to me.

"You are having your contractions…baby Takahiro is getting ready to be born." Before I could get another word in Tsunade started barking out commands and Shizune and Sasuke jumped into action. Where the fuck was that bastard going? Wasn't he supposed to hold my hair or hand or something? At least that's what they did in all those pregnant shows…And wasn't I supposed to be in the worst pain of my life? Psh women just couldn't handle pain as much as men could probably.

"But isn't my water or some shit like that supposed to break?" I continued to argue, not quite believing that it was really happening. That baby Takahiro was really going to be born.

"Naruto nothing about your pregnancy is normal, I wouldn't be that shocked that you don't have a water to break." And with that she closed off the argument.

Realizing I had lost I scooted back on the bed and raised my legs up on portable leg lifts Tsunade had just attached. She said something about needing all the hands we could get when we discussed and reviewed what was going to happen when I went into labor. Granny paused and looked at me for a moment, before she finally asked her question.

"What are you doing?" Her voice boomed from the stress she was under. I rolled my eyes before huffing in annoyance, trying to hide how uncomfortable it was being this exposed.

"I'm giving birth! And you said that when I had to give birth this is the position I'm supposed to be in!" I shouted but heat raced to my face. Tsunade stared at me for a minute before a chuckle escaped past her lips.

"You're not dilated enough yet…trust me you'll feel it." My face heated up as I snatched my legs from the stirrups.

"Psh whatever I'll perfectly fine. I'm way too manly to scream in pain." I huffed trying to gain whatever dignity I had left. I expected Tsunade to yell and say that I had no idea about what women had to go through but instead a smirk crossed her face.

"Yeah we'll see." Was all she said before she walked off. I rolled my eyes at her obvious disbelief in my words. Whatever, it couldn't be that bad women willing put themselves through the pain over and over again. I bet it would be over in like two seconds and then bam Takahiro would be here. Somehow through the ciaos I found myself praying 'please let everything be alright. Please let everything be alright.'

"MOTHER OF FUCKING GOD! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs at the immense amount of pain ricocheting inside of me. Why the hell did women willing put themselves through this? Were they insane?

"Come on Naruto you aren't even completely dilated yet." Tsunade said. I squeezed the bastards hand harder hoping to relieve some of the pain by causing the bastard pain. It was all even in my mind.

"God damnit how long does it take to get dialated?"

"Depends on the person." She said simply while preparing her chakra. The bastard was pale, well paler than usual, Tsunade was concentrated, and Shizune was preparing a heating table and everything else Takahiro would need when he was delivered. The tense atmosphere made me so uncomfortable that all I could focus on was the pain.

"So have you guys decided on what names you are going to name it if he happens to be a girl?" Shizune asked, probably realizing how uncomfortable I was. I blinked slowly trying to focus on her over the pain.

"Uh…" And I shyly glanced up to the bastard. We hadn't exactly talked about the whole girl name situation. Sasuke's placid mask suddenly took a thunderous turn.

"No." He stated coldly. When another round of pain coursed through me I found that he was messing with the wrong man. I wrapped my hands around his collar and yanked him towards me.

"You mother fucker! Until you go through this you keep your damn mouth shut! You fucking asshole I hate you!" I screamed at him while keeping a death grip on his shirt and shaking him here and there. I may have gone easier on him but he kept that damn emotionless mask on which of course pissed me off even more.

"Dobe you're exaggerate-."

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT I AM AND AM NOT DOING YOU BASTARD!" I shouted while continuing to shake him.

"Dobe callm dow-."

"YOU CALM DOWN!" I shouted. Ah the beauty of birth…Not.

Time went by excruciatingly slow, but finally after an hour and a half I was dilated enough to start pushing. However I felt my stomach drop when yells of pain and loud explosions filled my ears not two seconds after Tsunade told me I was ready. I stopped pushing trying to figure out what to do. I wanted to jump off the bed and help but...

"Naruto!" Tsunade yelled trying to gain my attention. I quickly looked between her and the door.

"Naruto I know its hard but you have to push!" She yelled over the loud noises outside. I shook my head wanting to run and fight all at the same time. It was like the first battle I had encountered when I was a genin. Instead of doing something, anything, I froze. I demanded my body to move as my heart accelerated but I found I was frozen.

"Dobe." My eyes intensively flew to the bastard.

"Focus dobe! Takahiro is depending on you! Now push!" He shouted as he squeezed my hand. My body listened to him before my brain did. I was pushing pushing pushing. I was dying dying dying.

"!" I screamed as I pushed again.

"Shizune!" Tsunade yelled and I vaguely realized that when I looked down I could see Kyubbi's head coming out. However I could him feel more then see him though. Like something was being ripped from my torso and expelled forcefully from my stomach. But the sight made it ten times worse and I had to shut my eyes once again.

"The head is crowning!" Shizune shouted, but it sounded like a background noise to the constant humming in my ears. The outside, Shizune, Tsuande, and the bastard all paled in comparison as I listened for the one sound I needed to hear.

"Damn you!" Came the voice I'm sure no one but me had heard before. But it meant the Tsunade was winning…Thank God.

"It's out!" Shizune shouted while rushing to take care of my baby. I barely had the will to open my eyes but I managed somehow and I watched as Shizune worked diligently on my baby. Seconds seemed like hours as I waited for that single cry; please please please.

A soft cry filled the room and Shizune heaved a sigh of relief before wrapping up my precious child and turning toward me and Sasuke.

"Congratulations! It's a girl!" Shizune smiled while tears coursed down her face and all I could do was smile while my face mirrored Shizune's.

"Itachi…" I mumbled out quietly while the bastard scooped her up into his arms so carefully I thought my heart would explode.

"Dobe.." Sasuke smiled toward me and the pure raw happiness that I saw, I was sure I would be content for the rest of my life.

"Dobe...I love you." He said lovingly. I opened my mouth to reply when a wave of dizziness washed through me.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked urgently and Tsunade and Shizune were over me. I blacked out for a minute only hearing 'vitals dropping' and 'Come on Naruto'. Then a loud bang coursed through the room and a man in a black cloak with an orange mask that only had one eye hole appeared over me. My vision blurred again while a soft echo of Naruto pierced my ears. I wanted to tell Sasuke not to worry about me and to protect Itachi. I could feel my life drain from me and I realized I was dying. I wanted to get up, run away; at least tell the bastard and Itachi I loved them. I wondered idly if this was how my parents felt when they had to leave me. I found my heart screaming the words I wanted to say; I love you Itachi, Sasuke…And then my world went black.
