It was a month later and they had a house, Sasuke had finally approved of one and Itachi was currently ready to pull his hair out, Sasukes, not his own, he could never do that to his hair.
"Just, it's not right and it's not like it'll kill you to move one little thing" Sasuke snapped as Itachi glared at him.
"Little, this isn't little Sasuke, it's a freaking bed, in a room that we don't use" Itachi yelled as Sasuke glared at him.
"Oh, so we don't sleep in this room so it's alright if it looks like shit when we have company that does sleep in this room" Sasuke yelled as the door opened.
"That's not what I said, but it's just fine where it is, you've had me move it 8 times already, it's fine, it looks nice" Itachi snapped before looking up to see something that he hadn't expected.
"Fine, be that way, I'll move it myself" Sasuke snapped before someone grabbed him.
"The room is fine Sasuke, if you move the bed then it won't stand out against the windows as nicely" Konan said with a grin as Sasuke stared up at her in shock.
"Konan, what are you doing here, you'll be caught" Sasuke hissed as he looked around.
"Pein made a deal with the Hokage, well he yelled at her for a while because he was upset about being bugged but we're now allies of the leaf, we're allowed in whenever and we'll help with any huge missions" Konan said as Sasuke stared at her.
"How did Pein find out that you were bugged?" Sasuke asked as Konan chuckled.
"He bugged you, to make sure that you guys made it here safely and he already had a plan for if they locked either of you up" Konan said as Sasuke started to grumble.
"Hn, maybe you can help me get him to sit down a bit, ever since we moved I've been moving furniture" Itachi grumbled as Konan chuckled.
"The house looks great but shouldn't you worry about the nursery more?" Konan asked as she looked down at Sasukes very big stomach.
"I can't find a decent basinet anywhere, they're all too flimsy" Sasuke grumbled as Itachi nodded, that was one thing they agreed on is that the baby needed a sturdy basinet.
"Oh, well Sasori made one just in case and I think that it's nice" Konan said as Sasuke smiled, he liked Sasoris things, he always made sure that it was good quality before he deemed it finished.
Sasukes smile quickly faded when a shot of pain went thru him.
"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Itachi asked as he rushed over
"Pain, lots of pain" Sasuke grunted as Konan ran over to him.
"Pein, Pein, get in here" Konan yelled as she helped Sasuke over to the chair in the room.
"What hurts?" Itachi asked as Pein and almost everyone else came running in.
"It's too early, make it stop" Sasuke yelled as Itachi shot up, bag, we need the bag" Itachi yelled as he ran out, leaving Sasuke with Konan who was trying to calm him down.
"Got the bag, come on" Itachi said as he ran back in and went to help Sasuke up.
"Don't encourage it, it's too early" Sasuke yelled as Itachi glared at him.
"You can't exactly tell it no Sasuke" Itachi snapped as he went to help him up.
"Why is it wet?" Sasuke yelled as Itachi cursed and picked him up.
They all made a mad dash for the hospital while Sasuke yelled about how it was too early and Itachi was encouraging it with his behavior. Half the village was practically following them as they ran into the hospital and almost into Sakura.
"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Sakura asked as she ran up.
"Make it stop, you're a medic, make it stop" Sasuke yelled before crying out in pain as another wave hit him.
"Sasuke, it's too late to stop it, once the water breaks you have to deliver, the baby is in danger otherwise" Kakazu pointed out as Sasuke glared at him.
"Go to hell" Sasuke yelled angrily as sakura got a bed to put him on.
"Somebody get lady Tsunade immediately" Sakura called as she and a few nurses ran Sasuke up to the right floor.
"No, it's too early, make it stop" Sasuke yelled as sakura glared at him.
"Did this just hit this hard or have you been ignoring it all day?" Sakura yelled with a disapproving look.
"It's too early, I thought it was false" Sasuke snapped defensively as sakura sped up.
"We need to see how far it is, kazumi, go make sure that lady Tsunade gets here as fast as possible" Sakura ordered as she burst into a room.
"Right, shall I send someone in with the drugs?" Kazumi asked with a worried look at Sasuke.
"Yes" Itachi said before Sasuke could turn them down, he seemed set on the fact that it was too soon so it wouldn't happen so he knew that Sasuke would refuse, saying that he wasn't going o have the baby yet because it was too soon.
"Sasuke, hey, we already planned for this, a month early won't hurt her, everything should be fully developed, she'll just be a bit small, and if anything is wrong then we have the best medics to handle it but you have to cooperate" Sakura yelled after fighting Sasuke on checking to see how far it was.
"I don't care, you're you, I can't have someone that I used to be on a team with checking that" Sasuke yelled as Itachi sighed.
"It's not that he doesn't trust you Sakura, it's just the fact that it's embarrassing for him, you know how Sasuke is" Itachi said as sakura nodded.
"Ok, then we'll have to wait for, Lady Tsunade, thank god, he won't let me check to see how far it is, his water has broken and apparently he's been in labor all day and has been ignoring it because he says that it's too early" Sakura said as Tsunade nodded.
"Ok, everyone that isn't on the team out, Itachi you can stay, hold his hand, Sakura I'm handing off to you so you stay as well, Sasuke will just have to get over the embarrassment, I want my best people on this" Tsunade said sternly as Sasuke glared at her.
"I want to give him a hug" Konan said as she clung to Pein who was grimacing, there wasn't one person that wasn't grimacing, even the nurses.
They could all hear Sasuke from down the hall, it was rather hard to bear really, he sounded like he was in agony.
"Can't you people do anything to help him, don't you have drugs?" Kisame yelled at a nurse that was glaring down the hall, Sasuke was effectively scaring the shit out of every mother that was expecting up there and causing a bit of panic amongst them, none of them wanted to be in that much pain.
"I'm not in charge of that sir but I'm sure that they are doing everything they can" The nurse said as they grimaced again at a particularly loud yell, they also heard Itachi yell, he was probably going to have a broken hand after this.
About an hour later the screaming finally stopped and everyone was out of their seats when Itachi came out holding something wrapped in a pink blanket.
"Sasukes asleep, probably will be for a while" Itachi said as the blanket moved.
"Oh my god, she's beautiful, oohhhh, Pein I want one" Konan yelled as she turned to see a puff of smoke, no Pein, he was gone.
"Wow, Konan scared Pein" Kisame said as the others snickered.
"Get back here you ass, I want a baby" Konan yelled as she chased after him.
"She's so cute yeah" Deidara cooed as he looked down at her.
Itachi smiled as he looked at her, she was a small baby, smaller than normal, had a little bit of black hair and black eyes, her cheeks were a bit red and chubby and she was rather thin but they said that it was normal and she would plump out a bit more when she started feeding, which would be done by bottle because Sasuke didn't produce any milk, he wasn't given that ability, strangely enough, that would seem more normal than the rest of it.
"Wow, who knew that the best way to defeat the akatsuki was to hold up a newborn" Kakashi said as he walked in.
"I wanna hold her, can I hold her, she's so cute" Naruto cried excitedly as he bounced around.
"No, nobody gets to hold her until Sasuke wakes up and gets to hold her" Itachi said sternly as Naruto pouted.
"Fine, but I get to hold her next right?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"We'll see" Itachi said as he watched him bounce in his spot.
"Ok, we have to take her back to run a few tests, they're standard, we do them with every baby, you should go back to Sasuke" Sakura said as she took the baby from Itachi carefully.
"Go ahead Itachi, we'll go back to the house and tidy up a bit before you get home, tho I doubt that you and Sasuke will be home for a while" Kisame said as Itachi nodded.
"You guys are welcome to stay there if you want" Itachi said as they waved him off.
"We got a house in town before we came over" Zetsu said as Itachi smiled.
"So you guys are all settling down?" Itachi asked as they glared at him.
"Shut up un, at least this village isn't as bad as mine, a blood trait jutsu would get you killed in mine" Deidara said as Sakura chuckled.
"Yeah, well that's what makes the leaf the strongest village, we have so many with blood trait jutsus because instead of fearing them we work along side them, they're some of the most loyal of our shinobi" Sakura said as Deidara grinned.
"Then I might actually like it here yeah" Deidara said as Sasori sighed.
"I suppose it's ok" Sasori grumbled as he walked off.
"Hey Sasori, we should talk to Kakazu, maybe we could use that experiment yeah, Sasuke and Itachi made a pretty baby" Deidara cheered as Sasori looked like he was considering it.
"I'm not doing it so don't even ask" Shin said as he glanced at Kisame.
"Nah, too much hassle, I plan to adopt" Kisame said as Shin nodded.
"Good, I'd have to kill you if you even suggested it" Shin said as Itachi chuckled.
"I'll see you guys later" Itachi called as he went back to the room to see Sasuke trying to stay awake.
"Where is she?" Sasuke asked sleepily as Itachi got up beside him.
"Sakura is making sure that she's ok, but she seems perfect to me" Itachi said as Sasuke sighed.
"nobody else gets to hold her until you get to though" Itachi said as he pulled Sasuke over to him.
"Never doing that again" Sasuke grumbled as he wrapped himself around Itachi to get comfortable and fell asleep.
Sasuke woke up again to the feeling of something new, there was something between them, he looked down to see Itachi holding a little pink bundle between them smiled as he pulled it closer and a little hand popped out.
"What should we name her?" Itachi asked as he looked down at Sasuke.
"Mika" Sasuke said after staring at her for a while.
"Why Mika?" Itachi asked curiously.
"She's beautiful and she smells nice which isn't that common for a baby" Sasuke said as Itachi smiled.
"Mika it is then" Itachi said as he watched her play with Sasukes finger, she seemed completely content, she hadn't cried once since they brought her in.
"I think she's hungry" Sasuke said as he sat up, she was currently sucking on his finger insistently.
"Oh, you're awake, feeling better, there shouldn't be much pain after we healed you" Sakura said as she came in.
"Yeah I'm good, I think Mika is hungry though" Sasuke said as Sakura smiled.
"That's a nice name" Sakura said as she handed him the bottle and helped him get settled with Mika in his arms, looking impatient.
"She seems to take after Sasuke, which means that she should go off in 3 2 1" Itachi counted and just as he hit one she started to scream and he earned a glare from Sasuke.
"She probably took cue from you" Sasuke snapped as Sakura giggled.
"Ok, hold it up like this, don't let her get any air and only to about here or she'll get too full and get sick" Sakura instructed as she handed the bottle off to Sasuke after checking it.
"Is she supposed to make that noise, she's not choking is she?" Sasuke asked about to pull it away.
"No, that's just her suckling, you would be able to tell if she was choking, she's be coughing just like anyone else" Sakura said as they just watched her, she seemed so trusting and happy.
"I think she's cooing" Sasuke said with a smile as he stared at her, she was the most beautiful baby he'd ever seen.
A couple hours later the nurse came in to check on them and got upset, apparently she thought it was unsafe to have her nestled between them on the bed. Itachi was on his back with Mika on his chest and Sasuke was curled around them, holding Mika securely against Itachis chest so that there was no way for her to fall and she was right up against him to so he felt it the second the nurse tried to move her and tightened his hold.
"I just need to check her diaper, but that's extremely unsafe to have her positioned like that" The woman said as she picked Mika up, she seemed annoyed at how Mika immediately started screaming at the loss of heat and Itachi and Sasuke were both up and glaring at the nurse as she tried to calm her.
"Hey there little girl, it's ok, uncle Naruto is here" Naruto cooed as he grabbed her and started to talk to her, she seemed to calm down a bit at that and just stared at Naruto as if he was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen.
"Don't you drop her dobe, you drop her and you will die, I won't stop this time" Sasuke said as he watched Narutos every move.
"No problem, I wouldn't drop this little angel, no I wouldn't, little angel, when you get old enough you will get every candy bar you ask for, yes you will" Naruto cooed as he bounced around with her, Itachi was trying to slide out of the bed but Sasuke stopped him.
"Yeah great now give her here" Sasuke said as he held out his arms, Naruto was actually very careful when giving her to Sasuke.
"What did you decide to name her?" Kakashi asked as the others stood at the door curiously.
"Mika" Itachi said as Kakashi smiled.
"You might want to take another whiff there Sasuke" Kakashi said as Sasuke frowned and Itachi picked her up and sniffed.
"Uh, yeah, she takes after you Sasuke, god I haven't smelled anything like that since you were in diapers" Itachi grumbled as he looked over at Sasuke.
"I gave birth to her, you can change her this time, besides, you have more practice in it than I do" Sasuke grumbled as Itachi chuckled.
"Yeah, we wouldn't want her to end up with a diaper on her head instead of her butt" Itachi said as Sasuke glared at him.
"Hn, well since you're so superior when it comes to changing babies then I guess you don't mind having diaper duty from now on" Sasuke said as Itachi paused and the others laughed.
"He's got you there Itachi, you might want to be careful" Kakashi said as Itachi started to grumble and focused on the baby.
"You're cuter than Sasuke was as a baby" Itachi whispered rather loudly as Sasuke scoffed.
"Of course she is, mom saved her on that by diluting dads genes, tho I worried with how much you look like him" Sasuke said as Itachi tensed.
"Hopefully you aren't as much of a smart alec as he is" Itachi muttered as he carried her back over and handed her to Sasuke.
"Ok, you have another night here and then you can go home, but you need to rest some more before you try to walk" Tsunade said as she came in and took the baby from him with a smile.
"She looks like you did when you were born, maybe a little smaller but other than that, she's a little Sasuke, with Itachis nose wrinkling habit" Tsunade said as Itachi smirked.
"Can't I go home today, I can walk, Itachi can carry her" Sasuke said with a hopeful look.
"Really, so you've gotten up and tried to walk on your own?" Tsunade asked as Sasuke grumbled something.
"I thought so, because you know that doing that without a medic around is not allowed which means that you couldn't possibly know if you can walk yet" Tsunade said as Sasuke sulked.
"So, I don't want to stay in the hospital" Sasuke grumbled as Tsunade sighed.
"Itachi can stay with you and it's best for Mika too, we need to keep an eye on all babies for at least 24 hours" Tsunade said as Sasuke glared behind her.
"He doesn't know that, he doesn't know anything, Tsunade to allow him to take that child out of here would be as good as child endangerment" the woman snapped as Sasuke glared at her with increasing hatred.
"Hey, oh, hi again, if I ever catch Pein then you might have a little cousin to play with, yeah, oh my god you're so cute" Konan cooed as she ran in.
"Great, he's got the Akatsukis slut to help him, that makes it better" The woman snapped as Konans eye twitched.
"That dirty old bat is lucky that you're here, you saved a life on your first day in this world, yes you did, you're so talented" Konan cooed as she sent the woman a cold glare.
"Ok, but if we have a baby then we do it right" Pein said as he walked in.
"Of course Pein, do you really think that my rule had changed, how long have you known me, we're getting married and then I'm having a baby and it should have your hair because I know what it's like to grow up with this hair it's awful" Konan grumbled as she bounced the baby.
"Honestly Tsunade, how can you not see how bad of an environment it would be for that child?" The woman snapped as she glared at Konan.
"I see two loving parents surrounded by a large number of people who would do anything to help with that baby, including me and my apprentice, while your concern is noted, I will personally be helping with this child so I don't see the problem in letting her stay with her parents" Tsunade said as Sasuke took her back, he wasn't handing her to anyone else anymore, every time he watched someone else hold her he got nervous.
"She's fine Sasuke" Itachi said, he had that annoying way of knowing what was upsetting Sasuke lately.
"I know stupid, I just don't like watching her be passed around like that, anyone could have a clumsy moment" Sasuke grumbled as he gave her his finger to play with, she liked fingers.
"Very well, but I will be keeping an eye on you two, if I see anything iffy at that house I will report it" The woman snapped as Sasuke glared at her.
"Break in again and I can't guarantee that you'll survive, I won't leave it up to chance that it's just you, I will kill anything that enters that house without permission" Sasuke said as she glared at him.
"Is that a threat" The woman snapped as Itachi smiled.
"Not as long as you don't plan to break in, which is illegal of course, I can't really blame him, we have an insane uncle who could very well be the one breaking in, I too believe in striking out at anything that enters the house, it could threaten the baby" Itachi said as she glared at them.
"You two think that this is over but it isn't, I won't allow that child to be ruined by you people" the woman yelled as she stormed out.
"I can kill her if she tries to take my baby right?" Sasuke asked as he looked up at Tsunade.
"You can severely wound her, don't kill her" Tsunade said as Sasuke nodded.
"Ok, lets get her a pacifier, I'm sure you'd like your finger back" Sakura said as Sasuke looked up at her.
"It's ok, she likes it" Sasuke said as sakura sighed.
"Ok, well here it is if you get tired of her sucking on your fingers" Sakura said with a small smile as she set it on the bedside table.
"I don't see that happening" Itachi said as Sasuke just smiled and stared at Mika.
"Ok, lets go guys, Sasuke needs to rest some more, they'll be out of here and back home soon, you can visit them then" Tsunade said as she ushered them all out and shut off the lights off leaving only the soft light of the glowers on.
"Ok, she's right, lets put her in her bed and get some sleep" Itachi said as he gently took her from Sasuke and placed her in the bed, she had fallen asleep in the process of sucking on Sasukes finger and Itachi gave her the pacifier to replace the finger before climbing back up to the bed and pulling Sasuke close.
"are you sure she's comfortable over there?" Sasuke muttered as he looked over.
"She's fine, it's very soft, I made sure and the edges are high so there's no way she'll fall out, I even tested the sturdiness of the bed before I put her in it, everything's perfect" Itachi said as Sasuke nodded and curled up to him.
"I guess a little nap would be ok, if she's really alright over there" Sasuke muttered before falling asleep on Itachis chest.
Itachi smiled as he watched Sasuke sleep and kept looking over at Mika, he had no intention of going to sleep tonight, he didn't want some stupid nurse to drop her while they slept.
Ok, I was a little slow on this one but in my defense, I had a bit of head trauma last month, anyway I'm hoping that you still liked it. I might make one last chapter but that's up to you guys, if you don't want one then just don't say anything, if you do then speak up, I can easily do a later on in the future chapter or when they got home, even a three months later chapter, you guys get to choose, those are the ones I can do so if you want one then please specify. Thanks for reading this much tho, you guys have been great readers and I really enjoyed writing this, I am working on others, all itasasu, I might post them but not sure yet, they don't seem right yet. Please review and let me know what you think.
