Here it is, the final chapter!

Beware of the '- Lemon warning -', it is there because of the explicit sexual content between two males. Thank you!


There is something about weddings, Sasuke mused.

Maybe it's because you start having something tangible to say that a person is yours. Because even if you had been living with said person for three years, you suddenly see that person under a whole new perspective. Everything looks so new, so damn sexy, you can't keep your hands off said person. That's the honeymoon stage.

On top of it all, if you are a cold bastard raven who just married to the sun itself, you start to wonder why in heavens did a bastard like you got something as great as the blond currently making his way down your body.

Sasuke doesn't believe in God, why should he? What did God ever do for him? But seeing those gorgeous blue orbs looking up at him as the mouth attached to them took him all in to the hilt, Sasuke couldn't help but feel blessed. As he orgasmed into that hot cavern, Sasuke was pretty sure that this was the blissful stage so many religions try to make you achieve.

Ah, and the raven did so, and all it took was a beautiful blond between his legs. Or sitting on his cock, or making his way inside Sasuke's body… or just sleeping on the couch snoring loudly, or playing with a small raven child as Sasuke watched. In fact, to achieve heaven Sasuke just needed to feel Naruto by his side.

As he squeezed the blond's cock into completion, Sasuke knew that he was going to keep what was given to him, without second-guessing the universe reasons, because after all he is a practical man.

He shifted the blond to lay on top of him on the couch, as they looked out of the window. The sky was getting dark. Iruka would have to deal with Mikoto for a while longer.

It had been a month since the wedding ceremony and things were yet to get back to normal. Not than anyone could tell. Their routine with their friends and their daughter had soon returned to normal. But in private, they were always going at it. Everywhere.

"Don't you have to deliver some report?" – Sasuke asked, out of the blue. Naruto narrowed his eyes at his husband.

"Don't you?" – Sasuke narrowed his eyes back. – "I already delivered mine yesterday afternoon. I told you." – the blond explained. – "You even acknowledge what I was saying."

"By any change, what were we doing at the time?" – Sasuke asked. The blond's blush was all the answer the raven needed. - "I delivered it in the morning while you were sleeping."

They went back to silence.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!" – and the peaceful silence was gone. Tsunade stood by the door, fuming as she watched two grown men struggle with their pants to cover themselves. – "YOU SCREW EACH OTHER ON MY COUCH, YOU LITTLE FUCKERS?!!"

Yes, Sasuke and Naruto were on Tsunade's office. But they didn't actually had sex, mind you. Not that the blond sannin was interested in such technicalities. Well, she would have to cope with it, because they were on license and Sasuke didn't like to be summoned out of his house without a reason, with a massive hard-on from being interrupted in the middle of very important things.

The vein in her forehead was about to pop, they could tell. So, it was a surprise when she took a deep breath and calmed herself down and took her seat behind the desk.

"I called you here because the Council insists that I take Naruto publically as my apprentice."

Naruto froze with a frown on his forehead. Sasuke processed the information immediately and beamed at her.

"We are going to need three witnesses." – he raven said.

"It's done. I already called Sakura and Kakashi." – Tsunade said, absentmindedly as she searched for something on her bottom drawer.

And that was when the information finally arrived at the blond's brain. He looked up in wonder, those blue eyes shining brightly, as suddenly he looked like an idealistic twelve-year-old teen, who bragged how he was going to be Hokage. Believe it.

"Really, baa-chan?" – she chuckled and nodded. The blond looked at Sasuke. – "You heard that, S'suke?" – Sasuke grinned even brighter and opened his arms as Naruto launched himself at him. The blond pulled the raven to a bone-crusher hug. – "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"

"What are thanking me for, dobe?"

"I don't know, but it seems that my life has been getting better and better since the day I got you." – he said with a shrug. – "I'm guessing you have something to do with it."

It was Sasuke's time to gaze at his husband, dumbfounded at such a stupid and yet loving reasoning. Naruto was being honest, though. This last few years had been amazingly fulfilling. And now he had it all. Understanding the other's train of thought, Sasuke pulled his blond to a mind-blowing kiss. He shove his tongue in the blond's mouth and tasted everything he could reach, letting the blond do the same. Naruto encircled Sasuke's shoulders and pulled closer.

"Oh, so much love." – it was unmistakable that that deep voice, filled with mock romantic wonder, could only belong to the number two pervert in Konoha. Jiraya holds the first place.

"You right, Kakashi-sensei." – said the also very well known pinkette, as she squeaked like a perfect fangirl.

"Pervert! Sakura-chan! I'm going to be Hokage!" – he bragged as soon as he was able to use his mouth. – "I told you so. Ah, ah!" – and proceeded to do a conga dance all by himself. Sasuke shook his head with a smile, but let the blond celebrate in his childish way for a while. He bet that Naruto had this dance ready since he was twelve.

"Look, brats, Sakura, Kakashi." – the blond Hokage called their attention, sounding a little tired all of a sudden. She was far from being young and the years were finally catching up to her, even if she still looked hot as hell. She would be more than happy to retire and administrate her hospital in peace. – "I have work to do. Let's get this over with."

Of course, the blond didn't listen. Sasuke sighed and pulled him by the waist to sit on his lap. After all, Sasuke was still bigger. As soon as he sat, Naruto calmed down. The blond took a deep breath and smiled bashfully at his previous antics, as the grown man finally took over. He snuggled closer to Sasuke.

The Godaime gestured for them to gather around the table. Sasuke pulled the chair where they were sitting closer to the desk.

She took a scroll from the safe behind her. It was a big room, which entrance was a magnificent arcade, usually hidden by a tapestry. The scroll contained the most complicated seal Naruto had ever seen. It was a tribal drawing, black and red, with the symbols for protection. There were five circles with the symbol for truth attached to them. She put her hand on the biggest one of those circles and gestured for Naruto to put his right hand on the other end of a very intrinsic motif (1).

"The witnesses have to put their hands in here, here and here." – she held as she showed them where in the smaller circles.

Once everything was set, she did the hand signs and all of them could feel the chakra flow curse trough the room. Naruto had the Kyuubi chakra floating freely around him, if the red cloud around him was any indication.

"Uzumaki Naruto." – Tsunade said. Sasuke decided to ignore the insistent need to remind the Hokage that Naruto was now an Uchiha. – "Do you swear to protect this village with your life, put its interests above anything else, as long it is in your power to do so?"

"Yes."

"Do you swear to protect its shinobi and its citizens, with all your wits and skill, as long as it is in your power to do so?"

"Yes."

"Do you swear that everything you will learn and that you already know will be used only for the good of your fellow shinobi and citizens of the Five Nations, as long as it is in your power to do so?"

"Yes."

"Do you swear to give your best to improve and maintain the peace of the Five Nations, as long as it is in your power to do so?"

"Yes."

"Your Oath, witnessed by Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, marks you as Rokudaime (2) Hokage of Konohagakure." – she declared mechanically even though her face betrayed a smile. – "I, the Godaime (3) Hokage, swear to prepare you the best I can in order to lead this village to a new era of peace and prosperity."

With a huff, the chakra flowing from the five bodies contracted and disappeared into the scroll. Tsunade closed it and placed it on an altar in the safe house, where five other scrolls were already resting. She closed the door with a jutsu, and pulled the tapestry down. She faced them.

"It's time to celebrate, then." – and the blonde woman took a bottle of expensive sake and five recipients. – "With a toast."

"Shocker." – the junchiruuki said sarcastically.

"Watch it, brat!" – said brat, still in Sasuke's lap, help up his hands defensively, but didn't answer.

The Hokage poured the sake and held her glass up high.

"To Uzumaki Naruto, future Hokage." – and they drank.

And they kept on drinking. Adults and drinks never go well together and soon enough the five of them were highly intoxicated. Kakashi kept petting Naruto on the shoulder, telling him how his father would be proud of him and that Iruka would cry of happiness and that he, Kakashi, was going to cry as well because he too was very happy. 'And getting old.', the blond thought. That was when he noticed the other's conversation.

"I don't want to brag or anything…" – Sasuke started, obviously sloppier than usual.

"Yes you do!" – both Sakura and Tsunade yelled pointing an accusing finger. He cringed and proceeded.

"You see, his name is not Uzumaki Naruto." – the raven said coldly, gesturing vaguely to the blond. – "His name is Uchiha Naruto, and everyone keeps forgetting that."

Oh, Naruto loved Sasuke's passive-aggressive possessive streak. He moved from the couch to stand behind Sasuke, who sat in a chair. He put his hand on the raven's shoulders and let his hands roam lower to Sasuke's chest. The raven groaned audibly as he closed his eyes and arched his back to the touch.

"Ne, ne, let's celebrate, S'suke." – he whispered seductively in the pale ear, even though everyone could hear. The two older ninja smirked, while Sakura blushed brightly. Damn, those hot boys. – "Just the two of us." – Sasuke moaned, unable to contain himself.

"Wait, Naruto." – Tsunade put in. They looked at her. – "Before you make the Uchiha come only by talking in his ear, I want to give you something." – Sasuke glared, but his glare was smothered by his pupils dilated with arousal.

Tsunade reached under her desk and took out a magnificent bouquet of yellow flowers. Sasuke visibly relaxed and smiled warmly as Naruto accepted the daffodils and nuzzled the petite flowers with his nose. He looked up to the other blond.

"Thank you, baa-chan." – he then took the card and read out loud.

'A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.'(4)

That's right; you deserve to be happy! Tsunade.

- An almost two moth Time lapse -

It was past two in the morning of the twenty-forth of July.

And a lonely raven sat in the dark on the couch of his living room, with his arms and legs crossed, waiting for his husband to come home and explain why the hell he had missed said raven's birthday party.

Sakura, as usual, because if she didn't Naruto and Sasuke would never socialize with the rest of the gang, had arranged everything. She had done the invitations as well, and Sasuke saw his house invaded by hordes of people who called him friend, even though he only though of them as such for a small amount of years.

As the night had progressed, and as Sasuke started to actually have fun, he had noticed how late it was and that Naruto was yet to wish him 'Happy birthday'. Eventually all the friends had bid him 'Good night' and left, too afraid of his deathly aura to make him feel better or even try.

This had been the last straw.

No, in fact the last straw had been when Mikoto had asked where her frigging goddamned of a father was. Not that the girl had sworn. He hoped that when she woke up next morning, that same father would be the one to answer her.

For the last month, Naruto had been on a working spree. He had begun his daily lessons with Tsunade. For the first days, he had arrived late in the night, after dinner, but would still talk for hours of how much fun he was having. And Sasuke had been more than happy to listen. However as the time went on, the blond had started to get more and more tired, arriving later and later and being distracted all the time. But Sasuke had given him time, finding himself more understanding than he ever thought he was, and waited for the blond to get used to it.

It was becoming too much, though, because he hadn't seen his lover in more than two days. And they hadn't got intimate in more than one week. Sasuke was going crazy. He was married and he had to wank, for God's sake!

In this point of his thoughts, the raven heard the front door open. He got up and leaned against the table on the hall. Naruto noticed his presence right away.

Sasuke felt his resolution of getting angry slip away as he saw the bags under Naruto's eyes, his less bright hair and his dull eyes. His bulky self was even a little hunched, as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulder. Sasuke didn't give that much importance to his birthday anyway. No! He smacked himself mentally. It was for the principle of the matter.

They looked at each other for a long time. Sasuke had his arms crossed and was expecting something obviously. Naruto let his eyes wonder to the rest of the house. From where he was standing he could see some shadows of decorations on the living room. What day was today? Then his eyes widened as he had his epiphany. 'Oh, no.'

Sasuke watched as those once bright blue eyes widened as a look of sheer horror descended upon his face. The blond's legs gave in and he sat on the floor still in shock, hugged his knees and buried his face on the crook of them. It was only when he saw the blond shiver than Sasuke noticed that Naruto was sobbing.

And that was when Sasuke's resolve of being mad with the blond really did slip away.

After all, this is Naruto we are talking about. He doesn't forget the ones he loves, nor does he get comfortable and takes things for granted, as Sasuke is capable of doing. He is the one that keeps on fighting even when there is no hope and still finds a way. He is the one that decided to adopt a little child at the age of seventeen. He is the one that left Sasuke a birthday card and a present every year, even when Sasuke was gone. So, yes, something is wrong when Naruto forgets one's birthday, especially Sasuke's.

He approached the curled frame and hugged him tight. Naruto fought a little, not wanting to be comforted when he had been the one to hurt Sasuke. He didn't deserve pity. He deserved to sleep in the couch for the next month.

Sasuke would have none of it, so, using his chakra, he put a hand under Naruto's knees and other on his back, picked him up and carried him to the couch. Naruto was sobbing freely now. The raven sat sideways, letting his back rest against the arm of the couch, and placing the sobbing blond between his spread legs, resting his head on Sasuke's chest.

"What's wrong, baby?" – the raven asked when he finally heard the crying subside. Naruto sniffled a little and cleaned his nose on his Hokage robs.

"Everything." – he whined. – "I'm getting fat, I can't fight anymore, I'm tired all the time!" – he sobbed some more. – "I forgot your birthday!!" - Sasuke was confused at the first sentences.

"You'll have to explain that a little better, love, okay?" – he said softly.

"I'm so fucking tired." – and he did sound tired, as he rested his head on Sasuke's upper arm. – "Tsunade keeps yelling at me for not leaning what she teaches correctly, but I can't concentrate with so little sleep. I keep falling asleep on the desk, but there is nothing I can do about it." – he snuggled closer to Sasuke and he looked like he was about to faint. – "She says I have to be in shape, so she makes me work out so much, I passed out today." – and he started to cry again. – "Everything is falling apart." – he cried again. – "And I missed you guys so much, I miss playing with my daughter and I miss sleeping with my husband!"

"Shh, it's okay." – Sasuke whispered soothingly. – "We'll just have to find a way, right?"

"How can you say that when I just forgot your birthday?!" – Naruto sniffled, as cleaned his nose and his eyes. – "You should be mad at me."

"You're not alright, I can tell, so never mind my birthday."

"You will not be so kind when you see how fat I'm getting!" – and he continued his sobbing. That sobered Sasuke up. He made the blond look him in the eyes.

"First, even if you were fat, I would still love you the same." – he hissed. – "Second, you are not getting fat!"

"Yes, I am." – the future Hokage returned childishly. – "And on top of it all, I keep getting sick every morning."

That lightened something up on Sasuke's brain. He had to prevent himself from grinning stupidly at the suspicion that made its way to the raven's powerful mind. Not willing to give Naruto fake hopes, he decided than they had to go see Tsunade first thing in the morning.

"Look, sweetie, let's not worry." – he said drawing calming circles on the blond's back. – "Tonight you'll get plenty of rest, and tomorrow we are going to see Tsunade, okay?" – the blond nodded and made himself comfortable. Of course, it didn't last long, as he started to fidget. Sasuke had closed his eyes, but his mind was reeling with the possibilities. That was until he felt the squirming blond.

"What?" – he asked, locking gazes with Naruto.

"Kiss me." – Sasuke knew what he really meant, of course.

"No, you said you were tired."

"I'm not tired anymore."

"It would be too much."

"Not if I just lay there while you do all the work." – at the graphic comment, Sasuke had to give in, he is not made of stone, now, is he?

He pressed their lips together. Even unintentionally, he knew he was being too gentle. Naruto would get suspicious.

- Lemon warning -

"Oh, S'suke, I need you so much." – or not.

Sasuke shifted them until the blond was laying on his back and the raven was hovering above him. He spread the blond's legs and settled himself in the middle.

Slowly, he undressed Naruto and then himself.

He kissed the blond one more time, this time coaxing the other's mouth open and sliding his tongue in, making heir muscular organs swirl sweetly against each other.

Never breaking the contact between his lips, he encircled the other's erection with his pale fingers and gently stroked him. Inadvertently, Naruto spread his legs wider. Letting his hands fall to the blond sac, he massaged the balls sensually, and continued lower, until his fingers were scissoring the tight passage. Naruto moaned into the passionate kiss, bringing his arms to surround Sasuke's neck.

As soon as Naruto was pushing back against his fingers, Sasuke pulled them back, earning a whimper from the blond. He broke the kiss, but didn't look away from those bottomless pools. He slicked the hole with his pre-cum and slowly pushed in until he was fully seated. Naruto brought his legs up to encircle Sasuke's waist, changing the angle slightly, so that the raven hit his sweet spot.

Sasuke pulled back slightly and thrust back in, and set a slow tempo, never pulling back much and just rolling his hips to please the other. Naruto was moaning quietly beneath him, kissing his neck, and roaming his big hands over Sasuke's chest, arching his own back to rub against Sasuke.

Sasuke brought his head down to suck on the earlobe as with one hand stroked the blond's balls.

Neither of them last much longer, both too tired to think of anything else other than to simply and roughly feel each other.

With a pitching hiss of his husband's name, Naruto felt the ripples of white bliss fill his senses, clenching his passage around Sasuke, who came, grunting his blond's name. They rode their orgasms, nibbling each other's lips much too gently.

- End of lemon -

At last, Sasuke pulled out, sat up and pulled the blond to sit on his lap. He ran his hands over the blond's belly to feel he absence of muscles and the round protuberance. He smirked. He was so right.

"Are you okay, love?" – he asked.

"Yes, now I am."

- Time lapse -

The next day, Naruto woke up feeling much better than he had felt in weeks.

He was happy and warm and he was damn lucky for having Sasuke as his husband. He stretched and turned around to hug the raven only to find the bed empty. What time was it? Feeling the need to start fresh, he got up and took a long and cooling shower. He got dressed neatly and only then he went to the kitchen.

Sasuke was making breakfast. The blond approached him and hugged from behind, letting his head fall to Sasuke's shoulder, humming happily.

"Where is Mikoto?" – the blond asked after a while.

"I already took her to the kindergarten." – that woke Naruto up. He was the one that took Mikoto the school on his way to the Hokage Tower.

"What time is it?" – the blond asked panicking.

"Calm down." – Sasuke chastised. – "I warned Tsunade that you were going to stay home until lunch time. Later we are going to see her about your morning sickness." – and that was when Naruto realised that Sasuke was not making breakfast, but he was actually making lunch. He sure had slept in today. He didn't even notice the raven's smug expression when he said morning sickness.

The blond was denser that people gave him credit for.

After lunch and a quick stop to the kindergarten to say hello to Mikoto, the couple had finally arrived at the hospital. They asked the receptionist to get Tsunade and soon enough were on the examination room.

"So, brat, tell me your symptoms." – she asked much too nicely. Naruto blushed, embarrassed for not being able to take the pressure. Well, he was being stupid, in Sasuke's mind. – "And after I diagnosed you, you can tell me why the hell didn't you tell me you were not felling good!" – and the grouchy woman came to the surface. – "Honestly, one might thing that I want to kill you by the way you've working lately and sick on top of that."

"Sorry, baa-chan." – the blond said quietly.

"Look, Tsunade." – Sasuke called decided to get his answer as soon as possible. She couldn't help but to noticed how his eyes were twinkling. She nodded showing that she was listening. – "Naruto says is been having morning sickness. He is always tired and he is getting fat, or so he says."

She looked up from her notes. She smirked at Sasuke. And Sasuke returned the smirk. Finally, the blond noticed that something was wrong.

"What is it?" – he asked, panicking. – "Am I going to die?"

"Pffft, like I would smirk if you were going to die, dobe."

"I would." – Tsunade joked. – "Now come here, brat."

She guided him to a small observation station on a parallel room and made him lay down on a lounge. She pushed his shirt up and turned the ultrasound on. When the device touched his belly, something sounded on the little monitor.

'Ta-dump, ta-dump.' The blond yelped and moved away from the device on the Godaime's hand. He looked at Sasuke searching for an explanation, a looking more than a little lost. Naruto was almost flipping and the other blonde was having a lot of fun. Sasuke not so much.

"Well, I guess that settle's it then." – she said smiling warmly at them.

"Okay, just stop! Stop!" – Naruto finally yelled. – "What the hell just happened? What is that?" – he said as he pointed at the monitor.

Tsunade gave him a tissue, while Sasuke helped him to his feet, his hand clutching the blond's tightly, as they returned to the previous room. Tsunade stayed behind giving them time to deal with it.

"I think you know, Naruto." – the raven said seriously.

"I-I-I just…"

"It's okay. You knew this was going to happen." – Sasuke reminded warily.

That alone made Naruto calm down. He was needed in his full capacity: Sasuke was felling insecure. The blond clutched Sasuke's hand back and leaned in to peck him on the lips. The jinchiruuki smiled. The raven was thinking he had asked too much from the blond.

"Yes, I did know." – he said. – "If could had given me a heads-up, I would have not been so shocked, though." – he lectured. Sasuke relaxed and smiled sheepishly at him.

"I didn't want to give you fake hopes." – he answered earnestly.

They exchanged compliant looks. Could this really be happening? Who would voice it? Who would start the questions? Who would tell Mikoto? Finally the blond spoke.

"I think we are going to have a baby."

Later that night, they would tell their daughter that she was going to have a baby brother or sister.

She would ask a bunch of questions like a true Uchiha, leaving an older raven Uchiha on the verge of tears and a blond Uchiha, who was holding onto his stomach carefully, laughing his heart out at the look of a panicking Sasuke. She demanded to choose the name, since she hadn't been allowed to choose hers. A sweat-dropping Sasuke would agree, while a positively glowing Naruto would just observe the exchange.

The three of them would fall asleep together, with a small girl laying in the middle of both of her fathers, with a happy sigh.

Sasuke and Naruto would be facing each other, one of them thinking about who the baby would resemble and the other thinking about future holiday cards, as they slowly drifted to sleep, not realising the harmony of their thoughts.

Yes, they were blessed.


And that's a wrap, people!! This is pretty much the end... I'm kind of nostalgic. There is going to be an epilogue, which is coming soon. Please wait for it. It's the end so I'm going to post it when I think it's finally perfect. It's going to take maybe a couple of days... =]
