SasoDei – Baby Blue – Chapter 18
Past
21 Weeks Pregnant
Hinata's POV
The girl was softly humming to herself, tidying up her house. Well, her old house. Her parents had bought her a new house for her birthday. It was larger than this one and was closer to Naruto's house, so she decided to finally move into it.
Her family was rich. Even she had to admit that she was 'Spoilt', though she was always kind and never took advantage of others. She might have been spoilt, but she wasn't a Spoilt Brat.
She had also decided to put this house up for Sale at a pretty cheap price. She felt that there was really no use in just having it rentable. It's not like she needed the money.
In fact, there was already a couple who had bought the place! Swooped in the first day it was for sale. She hadn't even needed to put up a 'For Sale' sign. Maybe she had set the price too low? Oh well.
So now, she was cleaning up the house. Her furniture had already been moved into the new house. In fact, it had already been set up!
She gave a hum, looking around at the clean, almost empty house.
"Perfect. Now I guess I should go tell Sasori and Deidara, plus it might be a good idea to tell them that the couple moving in are actually the second and third best detectives in the state!"
She spun around, placing the feather duster by the door, exiting the house. She walked across her lawn, onto the lawn of her next door neighbours. She located the door bell, pressing the button.
After a few seconds, Sasori answered the door.
"Oh, hey Hinata."
"S-S-S-Sasori? Isn't it a s-s-school d-day?"
When she was around others she couldn't control her stutter.
Sasori shrugged.
"I got the day off. Gregory is being let out of prison today."
"Oh! I w-wish him the best of l-luck!" She smiled.
"Your stutter is improving, Hinata."
Her face turned pink with embarrassment.
"Oh! Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Thank Y-Y-Y-You, Sasori-Kun!"
Sasori raised an eyebrow.
"Don't mention it. Now, how can I help yo-"
"DANNA! I CAN'T FIND MY LEFT SHOE, UN!"
Sasori rolled his eyes.
"Did you check under the computer?"
A few moments silence.
"THANKS DANNA!"
Sasori shook his head, looking back at Hinata.
"As I was saying, how can I help you?"
"Oh! I f-f-forgot to tell y-you! I am m-moving houses."
Sasori tilted his head to the side.
"Oh? That's unfortunate, Deidara will miss you. When are you leaving?"
"Oh, n-n-now, actually. I've al-already sold the h-house to a couple. I d-don't know much about them. All I k-know is that one o-of them is the se-second best detective in the state, and the oth-other is the thir-third best detective in the st-state! Cool, huh?"
Sasori raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting. I hope they will be just as helpful as you were to us. Do you have a new phone number?"
She smiled and shook her head.
"N-No, same ph-phone number as always!"
Sasori nodded.
"One sec, stay here, I will go let Deidara know."
He disappeared into the house. After a minute, Deidara walked out the front door. He hugged Hinata.
"We're going to miss you, un!"
He pulled away from the hug and they both smiled at each other.
"I'm going to miss y-you as well, bu-but I will k-keep in touch!"
Deidara smirked.
"You better, un."
"S-Swear on my life!"
There was suddenly the beep of a car horn. They looked to see Naruto waving at them. They waved back.
"See you, Deidara! Oh! I f-forgot to mention! The n-new neighbours will be m-moving in some time n-next week!"
"Okay, thanks Hinata! See you, un!"
She ran to the car, waving at Deidara once more before hopping inside. The car drove off towards her new house.

Gregory's POV
Gregory looked down at his bandaged fingers. His nail biting had become worse, so the doctors had had to bandage them up so he would stop shortening them, giving them time to heal.
Today was the day, right?
Janice had come to visit him nearly every day, but it wasn't the same. He wanted her to be by his side all the time.
The latest news was that his son's baby was starting to kick.
"Iwa." Gregory looked up at the guard as the cell door was slid open. "You're family is here to collect you. Congratulations on being free."
Gregory smiled and stood up.
"Thank you, Zabuza."
His old friend showed him back through the prison, leading him first to a change room. In the room awaited some fresh and crisp clothes that Janice had brought for him to wear. After a bit he slipped the clothes on, walking back out to his friend.
Zabuza then led him through the maze of the prison, leading him to the large door.
"Well, here you go. Hope to see you soon, Iwa."
Gregory chuckled. "Don't you mean you don't hope to see me soon?"
They both laughed.
"Good point."
Zabuza opened up the door for Gregory. The sunlight was harsh on his baby blue eyes.
"DAD, UN!"
The next thing Gregory knew, a pair of familiar arms were wrapped around him. He hugged his son back.
-x-
They all sat on the old fashion sofas of his and Janice's large house. They had bought home Chinese food for dinner.
They sat there, eating and chatting.
"Oh! Dad! Come here!"
Gregory raised an eyebrow, but placed his plate on the coffee table. He stood up and moved over to Deidara, who also put his plate on the table.
Deidara took Gregory's hand and placed it against his baby bump, lifting his shirt up a bit.
Gregory waited patiently for the baby to kick.
It did a few seconds later, a quick bump against his palm.
Such a small action, yet the impact was amazing.
His eyes widened.
"Janice…Have you felt this?"
"No."
Gregory laughed in amazement.
"Come here and feel it."
Janice's POV
"No!"
"Janice, come on!"
"I'm telling you No! It is weird!"
"Come on Janice!"
"Come on Mum, I'm not going to bite!"
She fidgeted for a few seconds before giving up and moving over to them, also placing her plate on the table. Gregory took her right hand, placing it on their son's stomach.
A few moments ticked by.
"This is completely a waste of ti-"
She was cut off when she felt a soft thump against her hand. Her eyes widened.
Once more there was a bump against her palm.
This was her grandchild? The one that she had thought to be a freak of nature? Something of nightmares?
That's when it really occurred to her.
This thing, growing inside of her son…It wasn't a monster…It wasn't a hideous abomination…It wasn't something that deserved to die…
This thing, growing inside of her son…It was a child…A small human being… It was…It was something made out of Love…The Love between Deidara and Sasori…
"You know…I was never close to my mother, either…I don't even remember her name…I remember though, that she was a violent alcoholic, and she did drugs…I was the least favourite of her three kids, two daughters, one son. She often slapped me…Beat me up…Gave me black eyes…My father was kinder, but even he couldn't make up for it. I was with them for 16 years of my life. 16 torturous years. I couldn't take any more. I packed up my things, and then in the dead of night I hopped onto a cargo train. My sister was the only one who knew. She leant me some money and told me the address of some relatives I had in Iwagakure. She was older than me, you see." She felt the baby press against her hand again, as if urging her to continue with the story of her childhood. "I eventual found my relatives. They were cousins of mine. They were more than willing to take me in, seeing the bruises and scars covering my fragile body…That same year I met Gregory…My absolute opposite…Things took their course…We got married 5 years later…Then…A few months into marriage, I found out I was pregnant…I promised myself I would never be as cruel as my own mother was…I stick by that even now. You might think I am cruel, but I have never beaten you to bloody pulp, I have never thrown glass bottles of beer at you in a rage…True, I am not the best mother…And I am tough on you…But…" She just fell silent, shaking her head softly.
Sasori and Deidara stared at her. Neither had ever learnt the details of Janice's youth.
The room echoed with silence.
Deidara then gave a soft smile.
"You might not have been the best mother in the world…But…I know for a fact that you weren't the worst. I love you, mum, un."
"I love you to, DeiDei." She stood up and wrapped her arms around Deidara.
"That's all I've ever needed, Mum."
"Deidara…Be a better parent to your daughter than I ever was to you. Promise me that."
"I promise, un."

Sasori's POV
Both Sasori and Deidara were driving back home to Sunagakure. Janice was now allowed to live with Gregory again.
"So, Danna…Do you still hate my mother, un?"
"It is unfortunate about her past, but I can't be upset over it."
"What, un?"
"If your mother's mother hadn't been so violent, Janice would have stayed in Fire Country, and would have probably never met Gregory. Which would mean that you wouldn't exist."
Deidara was momentarily quiet.
"I guess, un. Things happen for a reason."
Sasori nodded in agreement.

1 week later
22 weeks into pregnancy
Unknown POV
The blond looked around the new house, giving a smirk.
"This place is pretty decent for such a low price. What do you reckon?"
He looked over at the red head, who was smoking a cigarette, leaning against the blank wall.
"Probably owned by some rich snob who doesn't know the value of money. You're a detective, why don't you work it out?"
The blond shrugged.
"I will when we get our laptops back. Till then, why bother?"
The red head took another drag of his death stick.
"I don't know. I wish the movers would hurry up and bring the rest of the furniture. My game consoles are still in one of the boxes. I've never been so bored in my entire life."
The blond smirked wider, unwrapping part of the foil of his chocolate bar. He enthusiastically ripped off a chunk of the sugary sweet. He licked his lips and moved over to his lover, pressing their lips together.
The sweet taste of chocolate mixed with the bitter tobacco.
The blond pulled their lips apart, smirking at the younger man.
"You could always play with me, you know~"
The red head tilted his head.
"We don't even have the bed yet."
"So what?"
"So, we're not doing it on the floor."
"Fine. Why don't we go say hi to the neighbours instead?"
"No way."
The blond snarled.
"You're such a downer!"
"I know." He gave a smirk. "Why don't you wait till they bring in one of our laptops? Then you can just look them up on it."
"I know you aren't out going, but come on. Im going to go anyway. Now, are you coming, or are you staying here with your precious death sticks?"
The red head rolled his eyes and dropped his cigarette into his make shift ash tray (a plastic cup).
"Fine. You win. You know, you're really as ass sometimes."
"I know, I know."
The blond smirked and took another chunk out of his sugary bar of chocolate.

Awww =.= I got a cold, on the school holidays as well =.=
OOO! Their new neighbours XD Did you guess who they are? 3 clues! They are not OCs, they are not from Naruto (though they are from an anime/manga), and they are my second favourite pairing (Oh, and it isn't Axel and Roxas) X3 Lolz Some of you gotta know, I put in so many clues XD I know Raven will know X3
…I have a weird thing for blondes and red heads XD Lolz
Anyway, hope you likey ^-^
Questions!
(Teiden) But how come you didn't pick a Japanese name like you did for Tsuru?
I assume you mean for Delilay? Well, Delilay is the name of a character I made ages ago, so meh. Hey, Janice isn't a Japanese name either XD Nor Gregory! Not sure bout Woolfy XD But yeah, I like having a bit of a mix ^-^
(Blood Drenched Scorpion) You want a question? Ok: When will you make an angsty SasoDei that involves Sasori being alive and well, where as Deidara is dead, and dying is no less agonizingly, painfully slow?
*shrug* I have no idea XD
(ItachiFangirl24) Oh, I have a question. I'm currently writing a SasoDei fic and something happens and they end up separating. Who do you think would be a good partner, besides Sasori, for Deidara to date? It will be temporary, but I just wanted someone else's opinion.
Probably Hidan or Tobi. I can see both really getting along with Dei and that ^-^ (oh, and for your other question, Woolfy is a girl XD )
Lolz ^O^
Hope you likey ^O^ don't forget to send me a question ^-^ Thanx ^O^
