SasoDei – Baby Blue – Chapter 11
A Painting
Deidara's POV
14 Weeks into Pregnancy
Deidara sat in the games room of his shared house. The games room was a fairly large room, wooden floor boards, a large mat, large table in the corner for washing, ironing board, TV with a Nintendo Wii and Play Station 2. There was a long couch, which was in a backwards L shape. In between the sofa and the TV was a Kotatsu (A/N A Kotatsu is a low, wooden table frame covered by a futon, or heavy blanket, upon which a table top sits. Underneath is a heat source, often built into the table itself).
Deidara sat cross legged, bottom half of his body underneath the futon blanket, his top half resting on the table top as he watched the TV.
"The murderer was found at house 13, Sohcahtoa Lane. The police stormed the house at 3:42am and arrested the Caucasian male at 4:15am. Jiro Shindoe had been keeping three Hostages, two teen girls and one young boy. All were rescued unharmed. There was minor gun fire but no one was injured. We are going now to the head of the police department, Amega Pein."
Deidara perked up a bit out of his baby blues at his friend's name, continuing to watch the news. Pein appeared on the screen, beneath him it read 'Amega Pein; Head of the Police Department'.
"Thank you, Renna. Jiro has been taken into custody, and will be standing trial next week."
Pein continued to speak about his latest success, but Deidara faded into thoughts of the Akatsuki member's jobs.
Pein was, of course, Head of the Police. Konan was a 'stay at home' mum. He and Sasori were Artists, though Sasori was also a teacher. Tobi was a Day Care worker. Zetsu worked as a psychiatrist at the Amegakure Asylum. Kakuzu was a lawyer. Hidan was a Bouncer at The Clan (AKA the most popular disco/bar/club in all of Kusagakure). Kisame was a mechanic. And strangely, Itachi was a Librarian at the public library (only made stranger since he was going blind).
Sasori and Deidara lived in Sunagakure.
Pein, Konan, Zetsu and Tobi lived in Amegakure. Just a one hour drive away.
Kakuzu and Hidan lived in Kusagakure. One hour and 15 minutes away.
And the last couple of Itachi and Kisame lived in Konohagakure. One and a half hours away.
They all kept in contact, always coming together at least once every month to catch up.
Deltek's School for the Gifted was located in the Fire Country and ever since graduation, none of the Akatsuki had been back. Deidara wondered if there were new Akatsuki members there, walking down the hallways, completely oblivious to the older Akatsuki member's existence.
"I'm home, Dei!!"
Deidara checked his digital watch. 4:13pm.
"Hey Sweety, un."
Sasori sat down on the couch behind Deidara. He kissed him softly on the cheek.
"How you feeling?"
"A bit down, un."
"The baby blues?"
Deidara shrugged.
"Probably."
Sasori nodded and switched seats from the couch to the floor next to Deidara. The blonde leaned his head on the puppet's shoulder.
"Hey, Pein's on the news." Deidara just nodded, closing his eyes. Sasori put and arm around him and lay his head against Deidara's. "Deidara…Today I met someone…They said that they might be able to turn me back into a human…"
Deidara's eyes shot open and he pulled away from Sasori.
"WHAT!?!"
Sasori looked down at the ground.
"Do you reckon I should stay a puppet? I think you deserve more than that…"
Deidara was silent. Sasori looked up at him, surprised to see Deidara was smiling.
"Whatever you want, Danna, un."
"I've already told you, I want whatever you want."
Deidara smiled wider and crawled back over to Sasori. He kissed him softly on the lips.
"My Danna is silly~~ Of course I want you to stay a puppet, un~~"
Sasori smirked and pecked Deidara on the lips.
"I love you, Dei."
"I love you too, Danna, just the way you are~~"
Sasori's POV
Sasori was relieved that Deidara had answered correctly. He had actually lied. He had already told the guy that he would never change back into a human.
"We should invite Konan and Pein over for a picnic at the park. Maybe we could get some advice about how to get over the baby blues."
Deidara nodded and leaned his head against Sasori's chest.
"Besides Danna, I love that you're a puppet. We're both…Individuals~"

Janice's POV
15 Weeks into Pregnancy
Janice walked into the kitchen to see Deidara placing some pills into his mouth and downing them with a glass of water. She raised an eyebrow.
"Pills?"
Deidara looked over at her and gave a smile.
"Don't worry; they're Vitamins to help the baby, un." He showed her the packet. She nodded.
"What about your eye?"
Deidara's smile faded and he looked down at the bench top.
"I've nearly lost all vision in my left eye…And what little I have left is bound to disappear any day now, un…As they say…The last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out…"
Janice nodded.
"Have you told that 'Thing' you call your husband yet?"
Janice's rule was, as long as Sasori wasn't within 25 meters, she could say whatever the hell she wanted about him. Of course this never failed to piss Deidara off, but what was he gonna do about it? Kick her out?
"Can't you at least pretend to like him, un?"
"Not likely. Now answer the question."
Deidara sighed.
"I haven't told him yet, un…"
Janice frowned.
"Nerve damage, wasn't it?" Deidara just nodded. "How did that even happen?"
Deidara's POV
"It was a few months ago…It was an accident, un…"
Flash Back
"Deidara, can you help me move this painting? It's pretty heavy, even for me."
Deidara looked away from the painting he had been examining of a Venus flytrap with an arm hanging out its jaws. He smiled softly at his husband.
"Course, Danna!! What's the worse that could happen, un!?!"
Deidara walked over to where Sasori stood, next to a large picture. The blonde blinked at the picture. It was of an angle holding a little baby in her arms. The baby had short curly hair. Both angel and baby had baby blue eyes. The angel's expression was sad and worried, while the child looked truly puzzled.
Deidara moved to the opposite side of the painting. It wasn't very large but the frame added to the weight. It took both Akatsuki members to lift it up onto the wall.
Both of them were at their art gallery. They were putting together the new exhibition.
"'kay Danna, I think that is attached, un."
"WAIT!!"
Too late.
Deidara let go of the frame. It slipped from the wall and he felt the corner slam into the left side of his head. It could have possibly crushed him if Sasori hadn't used his stomach cable to quickly knock Deidara out the way.
The painting hit the floor with a crash. Sasori ignored it and hurried to Deidara's side.
Deidara was cringing, blood seeping from beneath his golden hair. The last thing Deidara remembered was Sasori pulling him up into his arm. He then blacked out.
-x-
Deidara woke up to see he was cuddled up against his husband in a bed. He groaned softly at the pain in his head.
"You're awake?"
Deidara nodded meekly.
"What happened, un~?"
"You got hit on the head by that picture. You passed out and I bought you too the hospital. I should go tell them you're awake."
Sasori kissed him softly on the forehead and got out of the bed. Deidara sat up as Sasori exited the room, looking around. The room was white and looked exactly like any hospital room would. Cupboards, bed, sink; nothing out of the ordinary. Deidara looked to see he was still in his normal clothes. A long sleeved baby blue shirt with a bunny on, speech bubble reading "You'd be cooler if you were me!!" He also wore loose black trousers and had been wearing a pair of thongs, but they were now sitting neatly next to the bed.
He looked at the door as it opened to reveal a male doctor, followed by Sasori. The doctor saluted. He had black bowl cut hair with large bushy eyebrows. His pupils were black and he had large bug eyes.
"GOOD MORNING, SIR!! I AM ROCK LEE!! MAY YOUR YOUTHFULNESS BE OKAY!!"
Deidara blinked at the weird doctor. He pulled out a small torch and move to Deidara's side. Rock Lee shone the light into Deidara's right eye.
"YOUTH SHINES BRIGHT IN THIS EYE!!"
Deidara felt like slapping the 'Doctor'. Rock Lee then moved to the other eye, lifting up Deidara's hair bang. He shone the light into it and gave a shocked expression. He clicked off the torch and placed it down, still holding up Deidara's bang.
"PLEASE!! CLOSE YOUR EYES OF YOUTHFULNESS!!"
Deidara rolled his eyes but closed them.
"NOW!! OPEN UP YOUR LEFT EYE AND TELL ME HOW MANY YOUTHFUL FINGERS I AM HOLDING UP WITH MY YOUTH!!"
Deidara opened up his left eye.
"Eight, un?"
There was silence in the room. The doctor pulled away, bursting out crying.
"OH NO!! I HAVE FAILED YOU, GUY SENSEI!! I APOLOGIES GREATLY SIRS, BUT MY YOUTHFULNESS AND DEVILISH GOOD LOOKS WERE UNABLE TO SAVE YOUR LEFT EYE!!"
"What?"
"WHAT, UN!?!"
"YOU HAVE SUFFERED NERVE DAMAGE IN YOUR YOUTHFUL LEFT EYE!!"
The doctor continued to cry.
"Is their anything we can do?"
Rock Lee stopped crying and turned to them, giving a super hero pose.
"YES!! THERE IS A NEW MEDICATION THAT PREVENTS LOSS OF SIGHT!!! IT IS CALLED SIKARLERUS!!"

Sasori and Deidara were leaving the hospital. Deidara hated hospitals and clinics. As they were walking down the hallway, a doorway caught his eyes. Deidara stopped, causing Sasori to stop and look where his spouse was looking as well. The blonde walked towards the room.
"Deidara?"
Deidara entered the room. The couple looked up at him. The woman and her husband. In her arms she held a new born baby.
He stopped when he reached the bed and smiled down at the baby.
"Boy or girl, un?"
The couple stared, probably wondering who the hell he was. The lady then gave a soft smile.
"Girl. Would you like to hold her?"
Deidara's face brightened up and he nodded vigorously. She gently passed him the little baby, which was wearing little baby blue pajamas. He rocked the baby gently back and forth, smiling softly down at the little bundle of joy.
"She's cute."
The mother smiled softly.
"Does your friend want to hold her as well?"
Sasori just shook his head.
The mother nodded and smiled back at Deidara.
"You must love children!! Do you and your wife have any? You do have a wedding ring, after all."
Deidara stopped rocking the child but continued to smile.
"I don't have a wife, un…"
"Oh. Well, I'm sure you will make a good father when you do find one!!"
Deidara felt sweet lips press against his cheek. He looked to see Sasori had kissed him. The red head wrapped an arm around Deidara's waist, smirking softly at the wife.
"I can assure you, he doesn't need a wife."
Deidara handed the baby girl back to her mother and kissed Sasori sweetly on the lips.
"Who would need a wife when I have such a sweet hubby?"
The lady smiled at them and they all started to chat, until visiting hours were over.
Deidara wondered what it would be like if he had a child…
End of Flashback
Janice nodded.
"You really wonder what kind of mother would just hand her new born baby to a complete stranger…"
Deidara rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, un."
"It's really weird with the painting though. Maybe you should go see it, I mean, it really is the whole reason that you got pregnant in the first place…Well…The paintings fault, and also the fault of that stupid, antagonistic, brutal, vicious, murdering-"
"Deidara!! I'm home!!"
"-Sweet, loving, caring, kind, considerate husband of yours…"
Deidara rolled his eyes and exited the kitchen to greet his loving husband.
Visit that painting…Not a bad idea…
"Hey Dei, look at this…"
Sasori was holding an envelope. On it was a sticker of a red cloud, just like the Akatsuki clouds at Deltek's…

Sozzy this chappy took me so long =.=
A bit ago one of my friends asked me how Deidara had gotten nerve damage in the first place. I told her that I didn't know. Actually I was just too lazy to explain X3 so here is the reason!! It was actually one of the first things I planned before writing, though I didn't think about what was on the painting, the angel and baby were just spontaneous ideas X3
I actually drew a picture at school today of the angel holding the baby ^O^ I reckon it's pretty good, I will probably put it on my DA when I get the chance to scan it X3
