Warning: There is yaoi in this chapter and some sweet moments. Beware!

Chapter 9

Ever since Neji's letter, Iruka had become increasingly more paranoid. He still allowed Shinobu out in the yard to play with the dogs and the like, but either he, Kakashi or one of their trusted friends had to be there at all times to keep an eye on him. Shinobu, thankfully, barely noticed. Kakashi, however, was becoming worried. His lover had even trouble sleeping, staying awake much longer than he should to continuously check on their son as he slept. It would have been unhealthy for anyone, let alone a pregnant man.

A week and a half after the letter, Kakashi finally decided to do something, anything, to calm his boyfriend down. He sent Shinobu to Kurenai's for the night and set up their bedroom in a simple, but romantic way. A few candles were fit on top of the dresser, filling the room with a soft light. The bed had been stripped and the sheets washed with Iruka's favorite scent: lilac. Knowing that Iruka would probably be too tired to even get under the sheets when he did fall asleep, Kakashi retrieved their softest, smoothest blanket from the hall closet and spread it over the bed.

He had just finished his preparations when Iruka came home. Closing the bedroom door behind him, he walked out to the kitchen to help his lover with dinner. The Ookami looked frazzled, his hair as unkempt as Kakashi's. Lines had formed at the corners of his eyes from lack of sleep and his skin was pale.

Slinking up behind him, Kakashi wrapped his arms around Iruka's hips, hugging his lover against him. Iruka let out a small squeak, but smiled and leaned back into Kakashi's chest. He hummed happily as Kakashi's rough hand stroked his slightly bulging abdomen.

"Hi," Iruka murmured as he laid his hand over his lover's.

"Hello."

"What do you want for dinner?"

"What is this one thinking?"

Iruka chuckled when the hand slipped under his shirt to caress the skin.

"Undecided at this point. I'm surprised I haven't had any strange cravings yet."

"I'm almost as scared about that as the mood swings."

Grinning, Iruka turned in Kakashi's grasp and nuzzled his nose against Kakashi's.

"Affectionate much?" Kakashi laughed as he pecked his lover on the lips.

"I noticed that Shinobu wasn't here," Iruka said.

"I can't get anything past you, can I?"

"No. Come on, I'll make us some fried rice."

The two lovers cooked in silence, enjoying the calming lull of the quiet. As he diced tomatoes, Kakashi stole glances over at Iruka, nearly sighing in happiness. The two years since their reunion had done little to curb Kakashi's wonder at having his lover back. If anything, they had made his feeling stronger. Then, of course, there was their son, Shinobu. Kakashi adored the little boy as much as any father possibly could. Now, they had another on the way. Even with the threat that Neji had warned them about, Kakashi had never been happier.

When the food was finished, they set the table and took their seats. Ravenous, Kakashi dug into the food while Iruka ate more gingerly, making sure to eat all of the vegetables first.

"Did you meet with Tsunade today?" Kakashi asked, eyeing his lover's plate.

Iruka nodded. "She told me to start eating more vegetables and the like."

Seeing the anxious frown on Kakashi's face, he quickly added, "There is nothing wrong with either of us! She's just a little nervous because, other than Dr. Tsuka, she is the first medic to treat a pregnant Ookami. Since he's still in Suna with Neji, Tsunade-san feels that she needs to take extra precautious."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Kakashi reached out his hand to Iruka. The dark-haired ninja grabbed it, their fingers locking together.

"I'm glad to hear it," Kakashi said. "I'm glad that you're being taken care of."

Rolling his eyes playfully, Iruka stood and walked around the table to his lover. He cupped Kakashi's face with his hands, running a finger along the giant scar that cut down on side of the handsome man's face. The former teacher kissed his lover lightly on the lips. Kakashi's grip tightened and Iruka was pulled closer, their hips flush against each other's. The Chunnin moaned softly as Kakashi's hand ran down the curve of his stomach, teasing the skin just above the hem of his pants. Kakashi grinned against his lover's mouth and bent down a little, hooking his arms just under Iruka's ass. Lifting him up into his arms, Kakashi carried his pregnant lover through the house to the bedroom, forgetting about their dinner entirely.

Iruka chuckled as he was gingerly set on the bed. He scooted back, Kakashi crawling after him. Grabbing the collar of Kakashi's shirt, Iruka flung himself down onto the mattress, pulling Kakashi with him. Spreading his legs a bit, he let Kakashi settle between them, groaning softly as he did.

"Someone is impatient," Kakashi joked as he pecked his boyfriend on the nose.

"I am," Iruka growled, showing his pointed teeth. "It's been too long."

"I didn't want to hurt you or anything, Iru," Kakashi explained.

"Yes, but you've left me completely horny and stressed," Iruka snarled. "If I wasn't pregnant already, I would have jumped you and ridden you until I was."

Kakashi grinned and nipped at Iruka's lower lip. "Sorry about that Iru. I should have done something sooner. After all, there is no better way to calm you down than a tussle in bed."

Iruka practically purred as Kakashi started to grind softly against him. He lifted his knees, cradling his Jounin lover between his legs. As he friction slowly, tantalizingly increased, the former teacher let his head rest against the mattress, growling in pleasuring.

Smirking, Kakashi reached down and started to pull up on his lover's shirt. He watched hungrily as more tanned skin was revealed and winced slightly when he saw the faint scar that cut across his lover's abdomen.

"Still not able to look at it?" Iruka teased, running a hand through Kakashi's white hair.

Shooting his love a soft glare, Kakashi resumed his quest, finally lifting the shirt from Iruka. Leaning down, he ravished his lover's firm chest, his tongue and lips running over every inch. Iruka growled happily under him as Kakashi focused on his nipples, biting and licking softly.

"Kashi," Iruka panted as the Jounin slid down his body, stopping at the line of his pants.

"Yes?" Kakashi asked, slowly slipping the button free.

The thought flew from Iruka's mind as the zipper was slowly undone, Kakashi's lithe fingers continuing down to brush over his covered erection. He panted harder as Kakashi cupped him, teasingly massaging him.

"Yes?" Kakashi repeated, smiling menacingly.

"Bastard," Iruka moaned.

"Now, Iru, I don't think that is the correct term," Kakashi teased. "I believe Lord of Pleasure or something like that would be more accurate."

Iruka groaned and bucked against the warm, talented hand. He threw his head to one side, glancing at his lover out of the corner of his eye.

"I want these pants off," he hissed as more pressure was applied.

Kakashi nodded and without warning, stripped Iruka of his pants and boxers both. He slid back up his lover's body, causing the former teacher to moan as fabric rubbed against his sensitive skin. Pushing Iruka's legs further apart with his own, Kakashi sat up slightly, balancing his upper body on his hands. He pressed his groin against Iruka's, grinding down with all of his strength. Iruka yowled and started to pant even harder, grinding back.

"Even after all of these years, you still love it when I do that," Kakashi chuckled as Iruka thrashed under him.

"K-Kashi!" Iruka cried as a finger slipped under his bent leg to caress between his ass cheeks.

"Hm?" was all that Kakashi could reply. He was too busy focusing on the finger that was flicking over his lover's opening. The former teacher writhed under him, his hole clenching at the sensations.

"I want you!" Iruka groaned, pressing back against the finger to get it to slip inside of him.

"Patience, Iru," Kakashi laughed. "You'll have me soon."

"Soon isn't soon enough," Iruka snarled.

Resting his forehead against Iruka's, Kakashi nodded a little. His unoccupied hand came up to rest on Iruka's chest, playing with his abused nipples. Meanwhile, his hips continued their merciless grind. The other hand tightened into a lose fist, one finger extended. He kissed Iruka's forehead lightly as his finger pressed against the ring of muscle, slipping in with relative ease.

Gasping, Iruka bucked against him, throwing his head back again. He lifted his hips to meet Kakashi's as the finger started to slide in and out of him.

"Kashi, Kashi, Kashi," he panted repeatedly, trying his hardest to get the finger inside of him to brush his favorite spot.

Laughing softly, Kakashi drove his finger in, aiming for the spot he knew so well. Iruka's eyes widened and he howled a little, his thrusts becoming more frantic. While he was distracted a second finger slid in, then a third. By the time that Kakashi had him adequately prepared, Iruka was completely undone.

Smirking at his lover, Kakashi pulled out his fingers, reveling in Iruka's disappointed whine. Lining himself up with the former teacher's hole, he slowly pushed in. He and Iruka both groaned loudly as they came together, their breaths hitching as Kakashi finally slid all the way in.

Iruka panted harshly, resting his forehead against Kakashi's shoulder. A shiver ran up the Jounin's spine as he fought to keep control, waiting for his lover to give him permission. Meeting the loving gaze, Iruka smiled softly and nodded once.

Slowly, Kakashi pulled back, sliding most of the way out. Iruka rested back against the soft blanket, trying to relax before Kakashi snapped his hips. The former teacher gasped as his lover brushed against his prostate, filling his vision with white flashes of pleasure.

"What do you want, Iru?" Kakashi moaned as he thrust harder into his boyfriend.

"More," Iruka groaned in reply, wrapping his arms around the back of Kakashi's neck.

The two lovers kissed passionately as Kakashi complied, pounding as hard as he could into the former teacher. Any concerns he'd had were thrown out the window as Iruka thrashed and groaned loudly under him, driving Kakashi's libido to new heights.

Breaking the kiss, Kakashi quickly glanced down at Iruka's bulging pelvis. He smiled as his gaze traveled further down to where he and his lover were connected. Letting one hand rest carefully on Iruka's stomach, Kakashi slowed down his thrusts, timing them with the soft caresses he was giving the former teacher's bump.

"Kashi," Iruka whined, his nails digging into the back of the Jounin's neck.

"Patience, Iru," Kakashi purred mischievously, slowing his thrusts even more. "We wouldn't want our child to think they were created through a quick fuck, would we?"

Iruka hissed as Kakashi's dick slid over his prostate again, slow and torturous. He threw his head back, wiggling his hips to try and speed up his lover.

"Please," he growled, his teeth sharpening into long fangs.

Kakashi could feel the claws digging into his skin, drawing blood. He smirked as he watched his lover completely unwind. He had Iruka right where he wanted him: begging.

"Please what?" he asked, nipping at Iruka's lips.

The Ookami snarled and lashed out, grabbing Kakashi's hips. He forcefully brought the Jounin's hips forward as fast and as hard as he could, howling at the feeling.

"Fuck me," the former teacher moaned.

Kakashi groaned and panted as he finally complied with the demands. He sped up, taking his lover with as much strength as he could muster. Iruka happily growled and moaned in response, pressing back against his boyfriend's thrusts with just as much vigor.

Iruka tried to hang on as long as he could, but it only took a few more strokes along his prostate to force him into full ecstasy. With a howl, he came, spilling all over his lover's chest and stomach. His muscles clamped around Kakashi and the Jounin gritted his teeth. He pounded in a few more times before he followed his lover, milked for everything he was by that warm heat.

Collapsing onto the bed, the pair of lovers panted and moaned. Rolling off of Iruka, Kakashi snuggled up to his side and unconsciously started to softly rub his stomach. As he caught his breath, Iruka slowly turned to face the white-haired Jounin. They grinned at each other and kissed chastely as Kakashi continued to pet the bump that was their second child.

Beyond the protection jutsu of the Hakate compound, a ninja dressed in black sat waiting. He scowled at the house, snarling incoherently at the inhabitants inside. He knew what they were up to and he didn't like it one bit.

Hearing rustling behind him, the man glanced back to see another come up behind him, dressed in the same black clothing. The second man knelt next to him and their eyes met.

"Enjoy that?" the second man sneered.

"Not at all," the first man growled. "Have you got it?"

The second man nodded and, reaching into his jacket, pulled out a file filled with papers. He casually opened the file and flipped through the contents, smirking at his companion.

"The boss will be pleased," the first man said, sighing at his partner's pride in himself.

"Of course. I managed to get the mutt's file. Who wouldn't be happy?" the second man chuckled. "Come on. The boss is waiting."

The two men disappeared into the night, carrying Iruka's medical files with them.
