A/N: I AM SOOOOO SORRY! Ok, so Sunday my mother in law surprised us with a little kitten. I was preoccupied with the new baby in the house because we also have a german shepard/husky mix. And she LOVES kittens. The kitten was kicking my dogs butt. Monday, my husband acquired the laptop so he could send an idiot a very important e-mail that kind of controls his future, that said idiot lost. I swear some people should NOT be college professors. Anyway. That is why you are getting an update today! YAY!

Chapter 14

Sasuke awoke to an empty bed. He furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance momentarily before he opened his eyes and rolled over to stare at the ceiling. He made a mental checklist over why Naruto could possibly be out of bed. It wasn't a birthday, it wasn't a holiday, it wasn't their anniversary, they weren't having a party and ey both had the day off from work.

In the 2.5 years they'd been together... If none of those things applied it meant bad news for Sasuke. In some form or another.

Best to get it over with.

Sasuke kicked the sheets off and walked to the bathroom. He got ready for the day before accepting his soon to be bad day and walked down the stairs.

He delectable blonde was currently sitting at the table with a look that confirmed Sasuke's suspicion.

To everyone else, Naruto looked normal. But Sasuke knew better. The slight bouncing of his leg. The slight movements of his jaw and lips. And finally. The fact Naruto wasn't actually focusing on the papers in front of him.

"What's wrong Naruto?"

Naruto looked up in surprise before a smile came on to his face, "Why would something be wrong? It's a beautiful day."

Sasuke kept his face void of all emotions waiting on the blonde to see he wasn't fooled.

With a huff of breath Naruto turned to face Sasuke fully.

"Alright, look, there's something I would like to talk to you about. If you don't want to take part in it I'll understand. But please listen and hear me out first, ok?"

Sasuke was becoming slightly alarmed and that was noticeable to Naruto when Sasuke readjusted his stance into a more defensive one.

"I made a promise to myself a long time ago and I plan too see it through. I keep my word. I don't let anyone down and that includes myself. And I feel like now would be a good time. It would make me really happy if you got on board too. But I am giving you an ultimatum. You have to accept my choice if you still want to be with me..." Naruto trailed off.

Naruto didn't want to back Sasuke in a corner like this. But, he needed Sasuke to realize this is what he wanted. And he wanted Sasuke there with him.

Naruto's eyes held a determination that wouldn't be easy to shake. Sasuke knew his Dobe was serious about this. But what began scaring him was Naruto already acknowledged this could be problematic for Sasuke to accept.

Sasuke nodded in understanding and Naruto saw the fear in his eyes.

"This is something I want for us." Naruto let out a shaky breath.

Blue eyes disappeared from Sasuke's line of sight briefly before returning with clarity.

"I want to have kids."

Sasuke's eyes widened and eyebrows furrowed. Naruto saw Sasuke tighten his jaw and his stance become more solid.

"Before you start, I want you to hear me out. We can't adopt because you have a record and I don't want the kid to be taken from us before we get it. So, I want to get a surrogate mother. That way the kids are biologically ours. Plus, who wouldn't want to have our babies? Anyways, I know we would make awesome parents and I want to do this for us. We both do it once. So we get our two kids and we can be a family. We are financially secure and we could give those babies tons of love. So please... Stay with me and do this with me." Naruto asked in a pleading tone.

Naruto realized this wasn't like asking for a puppy, which he wanted one of those too. He was asking for a child. Children were a whole different kind of commitment. You care and love them for the rest of their lives. Naruto looked at Sasuke scared. Naruto loved Sasuke with everything he had and he wanted to love those kids with him.

Sasuke was having trouble breathing. Kids had never been something he had really entertained having. Plus, he didn't ever really have parents to show him the right thing to do. His brother was the closest thing he had to a caring parental figure. He looked at Naruto who was pleading and begging with his eyes to say yes.

Sasuke turned and went down the stairs and ran out the front door down the street.

Naruto shut his eyes and fought down the tears. It was a lot to ask of someone. Sasuke hadn't said no. And Naruto knew he needed time to think. Naruto would give him his space. When he came back they'd talk about it. In a last move of desperation Naruto would use his one-time only favor.

Naruto went and sat on the sofa and waited for Sasuke to come home.

Sasuke had ran all the way to the park before he slowed down. He walked around the park. He looked at a few of the kids playing various games with their children. One father was playing catch and another was teaching their kid to fly a kite. He saw a few kids running around playing with each other while parents looked on with smiles. Another mother was scolding her son who had pushed a little girl down.

Could he do this? Could he see himself becoming a parent. Sasuke wasn't bad around kids per say. He had never had the chance to be anything around a child. Sasuke started to subconsciously chew his lip. He had never been unconfident in any of his decisions. Maybe apprehensive, but never this scared.

Sasuke sat down on a park bench. He saw a father reading to his son across the park from him.

He wouldn't lie and say he didn't want one. He wasn't sure if he could or be a good Dad to them. His father wasn't a prime example of father of the year. Sasuke remembered being yelled at for coming home with an A because it wasn't as good as an A+. Sasuke read to himself. Sasuke never played sports. Sasuke wouldn't know how to be a good Dad.

Sasuke's pocket started to vibrate so he pulled his phone out to at least check the name.

'Itachi'. Sasuke debated answering it. In the end he resolved to answer it. Sasuke and Itachi hardly ever talked... But if they did it was usually important.

"Hello"

"Hello otouto. How are you."

"Fine." Sasuke replied with a heavy sigh.

"You sound tired you need to make sure your sleeping enough. I know for a fact tired isn't a great look for us."

"What'd you call for?" Sasuke asked to hopefully end the conversation. His brother sure did pick an awful time to do his brotherly duty.

"To inform you that I am being transferred to Konoha."

Sasuke raised his eyebrows.

"How fantastic." Sasuke replied in a bored monotone voice.

Itachi caught on to the disinterest.

"I've also hired you and your boyfriend to renovate the lovely house I've purchased."

What.

"What."

"Yes, I was calling you to put in my preference. The house is on 253rd in Old Konoha off of Hokage Way."

"Why did you buy a house on the same street I live on Aniki?" Sasuke asked with barely suppressed anger

"Oh you live on that street? What a happy coincidence."

Sasuke was pretty damn sure there was zero coincidence. His brother did have an asshole streak in him.

"Hn."

Itachi rambled on about how he wanted his house to look. The bastard had bought the house next door. Sasuke decided to take all of Itachi's ideas and throw them out the window. He was going to paint that house bubblegum pink with white detailing and use gaudy white feather lined everything with purple furniture.

"Now, otouto. Tell me what's wrong. I can practically feel your depressing aura through the phone."

Sasuke sighed. "Naruto informed me he wants kids this morning."

"Well otouto, I'm sure you will enjoy trying to get Naruto-kun pregnant."

"He wants to do artificial insemination with a surrogate mother."

"Well, what's the problem then?"

"I don't know if I can be a father Itachi."

"Anyone can be a father otouto."

Sasuke looked upward and closed his eyes.

"It takes someone special to be a Daddy. I'm sure alongside Naruto you'll be fine. Whatever your lacking in Naruto will excel in. You two would be fine."

"But what if I mess up? What if I turn into our father."

"You won't."

"How are you so sure?"

"Because Sasuke, you don't want to be him. And you aren't him. And you have Naruto to straighten you out if you step out of line and if he's busy I'll be next door." Itachi said confidently.

Sasuke sighed once more.

"Stop being so dramatic otouto. You love Naruto. I've seen that through the pictures I've been sent-"

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

"I hired someone to follow you around. Your boyfriend is very handsome. And perhaps you should keep your activities inside. As I was saying. You two love each other and you'd love any children the two of you bring into your home. Naruto was their for you and supported it when you needed it most. Perhaps supporting Naruto's dreams and decisions might be a good thing. Don't lose him because your to scared to make the first step on your own. Naruto will be their next to you."

Sasuke nodded. Sasuke would have Naruto.

"And there is always parenting classes and books. You can also attend 'Mommy & Me' if your still not confident."

"Thanks Itachi."

"Your welcome. Call me when it's resolved. Or I can just find out when I move in."

"Die." Sasuke said as he hung up the phone.

A few seconds passed and Sasuke recieved a text.

"Itachi: my house keys will be arriving tomorrow midday. Get started on it. I really did hire the pair of you through your company and I emailed a copy of what I'd like for my house to your boss. Enjoy fatherhood."

"Asshole." Sasuke shoved his phone back in his pocket.

Sasuke got back on his feet and walked around the park some more. He stopped and leaned against a tree. He saw a young couple with a small toddler. The mother was playing with the small child while the father sat on the park bench with a smile. The child giggled happily with its mother before crawling over to its father. The man stood and picked the baby up who had a giant smile on its face before he sat down together as a family and played with the baby.

The sight brought a smile to his face. As long as he had Naruto, he could do this. Sasuke felt his confidence return. He pushed off from the tree and started walking back to his house to tell Naruto his decision.

Sasuke walked back up the street and stopped looking at his brothers 'new' house. It was smaller than theirs. But a small smile slipped on his face. When the kids were screaming Itachi would be close enough to here it or even be a babysitter.

Somewhere in the world, Itachi held back a sneeze.

Sasuke continued onwards to his front door and skipped up the steps opening the front door. He shut the door and felt the mental exhaustion begin to take its toll. He got about 5 steps in before he had an armful of blonde dobe.

"Ok, I really can't do this without you. I want you with me so I am using my one-time favor. Your going to be my baby daddy!" Naruto said with a defiant desperate look.

Sasuke slowly closed his mouth. He decided not to let Naruto know he'd resolved into going along with this until Naruto made a handmade note relinquishing that damn blackmail.

"Fine. But you have to give me written proof your favor is being used by this." Sasuke said with false irritation.

Naruto ran back up stairs and grabbed a pen and paper scribbling away.

It basically said he was using his one-time ultimate favor in exchange that Sasuke would father a child.

"Sign in." Naruto signed it and printed his name and date under it.

Sasuke did the same before folding it up and placing it in his back pocket.

Naruto pulled him into a tight hug and Sasuke slid him arms around Naruto softly.

Naruto pulled back slightly, "I really do love you Sasuke."

Sasuke smirked. "I love you too Dobe. And that's why I decided to do this for you. But, your favor has still been used."

Sasuke squeezed Naruto even tighter. Naruto's brain caught up with what Sasuke had said and he immediately started trying to get out of his grasp.

"You are such a Bastard!" Naruto said while trying to hit him.

"Shush dobe. I hope your not planning on kissing our babies with that mouth."

Naruto stopped struggling. He rested his head against Sasuke's chest.

"Your still an asshole."

"Hmm I know."

Naruto pulled out of his arms and studied Sasuke's face.

"By the way dobe, I have some news for you."

Naruto furrowed his eyebrows.

"My brother will be moving into the house next door to ours."

"That's great! I can't wait to meet your brother!"

"You say that now. He's also hired us to renovate it. We get the key tomorrow."

"Well, at least it's a close walk."

"Yes. To the devils new residence."

Naruto shook his head and walked back upstairs.

"Your just mad because now we can't have sex in the backyard." Naruto o shouted.

"I'm mad because we can't have sex outside because of him and we can't do it inside because we will wake our kids."

Naruto's laughter sounded through the house while Sasuke stood in the living room accepting his fate. He was going to have to tape Naruto's mouth shut whenever they had playtime. His libido was NOT going to get suppressed.

It took about a month for Sasuke, who got the honor and privilege of going first, to get fully medically tested and pick a surrogate mother. She happened to have naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. After filling out all the paperwork which they called Ms. Sato in to help with Sasuke did his part. He really did not like that he had to basically jack-off in a sterile room and the only porn provided was a magazine full of naked women. He also hated that this event took place on his birthday of all days.

The doctors took his sample and got to work impregnating their egg donor and baby oven as Naruto put it.

Naruto took his very bummed out boyfriend to dinner to celebrate anything and really tried not to laugh at how Sasuke was sulking.

"Oh come on. We can still have birthday sex."

Sasuke's head was face down on the table as he shook it.

Naruto couldn't stop laughing at how childish Sasuke could be. He couldn't wait for Itachi to come next week and spill all of Sasuke's childhood stories. Jiriyia already did it for Naruto. It was only fair.

About six weeks later, Sasuke, Naruto , Itachi and a man named Kisame were sitting in a diner revealing Sasuke as a child which to Naruto's joy held lots of adorable stories. Sasuke didn't remember most of them.

Naruto's phone went off and he excused himself. He picked up the phone and answered it. Sasuke watched with careful eyes as Naruto nodded along with whatever the caller was saying before a smile slid on his blonde's face. He hung up and practically ran back to the table. He gave Sasuke a kiss and pulled back happy as ever.

"Congratulations Daddy!" The blonde said enthusiastically.

Sasuke smiled and kissed Naruto on the lips.

"Congratulations Mommy."

"Sasuke I swear if you don't stop calling me 'mommy' I'll turn you into a woman."

Sasuke sipped his tea with a smile.

"So when's the due date?" Kisame spoke up.

Sasuke hadn't confirmed his theory, but he was pretty damn sure Kisame was more than a friend to Itachi.

"April 15th." Naruto replied with a big smile. Sasuke held Naruto's hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Well, looks like you two had better get started. You've got to have a baby shower and get a nursery set up plus read up on parenting books."

Sasuke groaned and Naruto sighed. So it begins.

When their baby was 4 months along they waited patiently in the hospital along with the mother who sat across from them reading a book on what to expect while delivering. Naruto's leg bounced and Sasuke was getting excited because of Naruto's excitement.

"This is it! We get to see our baby!"

Sasuke saw the mother smile slightly.

"Naruto calm down."

"And we already agreed. We are going to be surprised! So no bribing the doctor."

Sasuke nodded in agreement. He wasn't thrilled about the waiting, but he'd survive.

Once the doctor called them in and they got seated. They squeezed a jelly like liquid on the mother and both men waited patiently while holding hands looking at the screen.

The nurse measured the babies skull and spine informing them everything was perfect in terms of progress. Fluids and development were great and all around baby was healthy.

Naruto let out a shaky breath. They were looking at their child. They were hearing their heartbeat. Naruto and Sasuke were both smiling.

"Would you like to know the sex?" The nurse asked politely.

"No!" Naruto replied quickly.

The nurse smiled and nodded.

She printed out photos for them and Naruto couldn't stop looking at them the entire drive home.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl." Naruto asked without taking his eyes off the pictures.

"We could've found out so we don't have to guess."

"C'mon Teme. That's no fun. So do you think we are having a son or daughter."

"It's a boy." Sasuke said confidently.

"I think it's a girl." Naruto said just as confident.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

"How about this since you seem so sure. If I'm right and its a girl I get to name her. But if your right and its a boy you name him."

"Agreed." Sasuke looked at the blonde who was so sure of himself.

"And what do you plan on naming our daughter IF we have a girl?"

"Nozomi." Sasuke smiled. He should've guessed Naruto would choose that.

"And what do you plan on naming our son IF we have one."

"I don't know. I've got awhile to come up with something."

"Better be a good name Teme."

Sasuke shot him a look.

Finally the 40 week wait was up. The nursery was all set up. They had everything they needed ready to go. Now, the phone call.

"God this wait is killing me! I want to bring our little girl home!"

"Patience Naruto. We will have him home soon enough."

"It's a girl."

"Boy"

Itachi who happened to be over chimed in as well, "Boy"

Kisame and Naruto were team girl where as the Uchiha brothers were confident in the call it was a boy.

They decided to not paint the nursery until they knew the gender. Plus the baby would be in the master bedroom with them for a few weeks until baby had a sleep pattern.

Naruto's phone started to ring.

"Hello?"

...

"Ohmygod! We're on our way!"

Sasuke was up off the couch and went and grabbed his keys. Both of the, shouted their good-byes to Itachi and ran out the door.

Itachi smirked and continued reading the newspaper.

"Congratulations." He said to the empty house.

Naruto and Sasuke left the bags in the car and made a bad dash from the parking structure to the hospital doors and went straight for the elevator that would take them to labor and delivery.

Naruto pushed the button repeatedly. Sasuke slapped his hand away.

"You guys must be excited." A woman who was seated to their right.

"Tell your wives congratulations." The woman finished before flipping though her magazine.

The elevator doors opened and Sasuke dragged Naruto in before he could correct her.

The ride up on floor was agony. Naruto would share that was the longest elevator ride of his life. Sasuke was doing calming exercises. The doors opened and they rushed over to the door only to find it locked. Sasuke pushed the button to the right of the door.

"Hello, how may we help you?"

Naruto shoved Sasuke out of the way.

"Our kids being born!"

"Name?"

"We haven't named the baby yet..." Naruto said in a confused tone.

Sasuke slapped Naruto upside the head.

"Kyosha Satori."

Oh. The mom's name.

"I'm sorry, but you gentlemen must remain in the waiting room. Only family is allowed back here."

Naruto was about to scream into the voice box before Sasuke dragged him away.

They sat their waiting patiently for a few hours. They'd called everyone they needed too.

They sat through other very pregnant women being let in to have their kids, one woman who swore she was in labor, but had actually just wet herself and many soon to be Dad's who got left in the waiting room.

Eventually the whole lot of them decided to pass the time by bringing a ton of McDonald's and playing card games.

Finally, a nurse came in and called out their names and both men practically flew out of their chairs and to the door.

They got led down a quiet corridor. The nurse stopped and gestured to their left.

Sasuke and Naruto held hands and rounded the corner and in a little nursery all alone was a little baby. The nurse opened the door and they stepped inside and walked to the small baby.

The nurse smiled watching the two new fathers look at their baby for the first time.

"Hi little one, my name is Naruto and I'm going to be your Daddy." Naruto spoke in a soft voice while gently touching the babies nose with his pointer finger.

Sasuke saw the love in Naruto's eyes and heard it in his voice. He was happy he'd been able to give Naruto something that would make him this happy.

Sasuke stepped onto the side of the bassinet and picked the baby up. He made sure to support the babies head and neck and put the baby close to his chest. He watched the baby move slightly to get more comfortable before settling.

Naruto felt himself fall in love all over again. Sasuke was holding their baby and he had the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen. Sasuke bent his head down and placed a light kiss on the babies forehead and inhaled the small infants scent.

Naruto walked over and did the same.

"And this is Sasuke. He's your other Daddy. You can call him Papa."

They stood together like that for awhile like a family for the first time staring at their new little family member.

"You should be able to take the baby home tomorrow."

Both men acknowledged the nurse with a nod of their head.

"Teme?" Naruto whispered

"Hm?"

"This had to be the most beautiful baby I've ever seen."

Sasuke smiled,"I agree."

Naruto and Sasuke stood still and held their baby for the next few hours completely content and happy.

A/N: :D AWWWWWW 2/3 of the ending….
