A/N: I am SO SORRY. My new kitty sleep deprived me. I couldn't even start a chapter! That little baby has too much energy!

Chapter 15

Naruto walked back upstairs with coffee in hand and walked back into his room. He walked over toward the bed and gazed lovingly at two identically colored and styled hairstyles. Naruto carefully sat on the bed making sure he didn't stir either of them and sat there watching the pair of them sleep.

Naruto swore he couldn't fall in love anymore with either of them anymore than he already had, but seeing the pair of them sleep together was just too cute. They even slept the same way.

Like father like son.

Ryu furrowed his little dark eyebrows before slightly readjusting himself and falling back asleep.

Naruto's smiled widened. Ryu and his Papa had stayed up late last night watching TV. The little guy was only 15 months old, but was adamant that he could stay up with Sasuke. Which basically made his two sleepyheads mid-morning to noon risers.

But, it was time for his nightowls to wake up since they had things to do. Naruto set the coffee on the bed side table and gently pushed Ryu's little bangs off to the side before bending over and placing a kiss on the babies forehead. Naruto stretched his arm over and pushed Sasuke's bangs out of his face stirring the dark-haired man from his slumber.

"Time to wake-up sleepyheads." Naruto said softly.

Dark eyes opened before closing again with furrowed eyebrows. And a pair of blue eyes opened with a slight glare aimed at Naruto.

Naruto giggled at their son. He looked just like Sasuke with his chibi glare. The blue eyes were the only thing that Ryu had gotten from his surrogate mother. The rest… including personality, belonged to Sasuke.

Naruto was almost afraid for the teenage years. Itachi had gleefully recounted how Sasuke would sulk all day.

Naruto reached down and picked his son up off the bed as his boyfriend stretched out and mentally prepared himself for the day. Naruto carried Ryu out of the room and back into his room. Naruto gathered a new diaper and the box of wipes and tossed them on the little rug. Naruto picked out a little outfit before laying Ryu down. Naruto smirked as he heard Sasuke stumble into the bathroom.

Naruto unzipped Ryu's pajamas with a slight smile watching his son rub his sleepy eyes. Naruto changed his son as quickly as possible before he started to get even fussier. Sasuke walked in the room just as Naruto finished. He stood Ryu up who immediately walked over to Sasuke and the pair of them walked downstairs. Naruto walked back into his own room noticing his coffee was missing. Bastard.

Sasuke got Ryu's breakfast ready as well as his own before the three of them sat down at the table. Naruto started to help Ryu eat.

"What's going on today?" Sasuke asked with a yawn.

"Teme. I've got work and you two have to get the second bedroom ready. She will be here in a couple of months." Naruto said with a smile.

"Exactly. A couple of months."

"Do you want to help get your little sister's bedroom ready Ryu?" Naruto asked in his baby voice.

Ryu didn't respond since he was trying putting a handful of Cheerios in his mouth.

Sasuke had indeed made sure Naruto held up his end of that bargain. So Naruto had picked out his own surrogate mother and they had recently gotten the news they would be having a little girl. They had a few months to go, but Naruto didn't want to wait on getting her room done. Especially since Sasuke and Ryu did nothing but play all day and Sasuke would work during Ryu's nap and self playtime. He was fighting a losing battle with those two.

"Ryu will you help Daddy and get your sister's room ready?"

Ryu noded his little head.

"That's not fair Dobe, he doesn't know what you're asking of him."

Naruto shot him a look.

"Let's try it my way, shall we? Ryu?"

The little boy turned and looked at Sasuke.

"Do you want to give up your toys and share them."

Ryu started shaking his head as fast as his neck muscles would allow.

"Teme! She's getting her own toys. Little girl toys."

"She's going to end up playing with a lot of Ryu's old toys and you know how attached he is."

"Just get it done Teme. She will be here before you know it. And Ryu needs to start sleeping in his own room again."

Sasuke pulled a face. He would much rather go back to sleep and curl up with his little buddy and wake up in a few hours and go back to their normal routine. But, best to just get her room finished now so Naruto would stop harassing them about it.

"Alright, we will get it done." Sasuke groaned.

Sasuke spared a glance at his son, "Sorry buddy. Daddy isn't let us have fun today."

"Aww." The little baby said with a sad face.

Naruto stood and pressed a kiss to his son's head before walking around the table and kissing Sasuke on the cheek and darting down the stairs and out the door.

Sasuke placed one of his arms back on the table and rested his chin on his fist.

"We go night-night?"

"Yep." Sasuke stood and picked his son back up from the high chair and they went back upstairs to take a nap.

Naruto came home from work a little early and opened the door. He stayed quietly as he shut the door and made his way up the stairs. He looked around the second floor not seeing or hearing any movement. He made his way up the stairs entirely and opened the door to their daughter's room and his eyebrow began to twitch. Not a damn thing had moved.

Naruto made his way over to the master bedroom to see Ryu and Sasuke cuddled up asleep and Sasuke was snoring slightly.

Naruto shook his head and walked into the room. All Sasuke had to do was take the freaking bed and mattress down stairs and into the basement. Wrap up the mattress. And move the dresser away from the wall. That's it. Instead his boyfriend and their son decided to go back to sleep.

Naruto would have to make a point to set a bedtime for his boys.

Naruto flipped the twin mattress up and slide it down the two flights of stairs and did the same for the box spring. He took out a Swiss army knife and undid the metal frame and carried the pieces downstairs and put the screws in the bag and taped it to the pieces. He put the whole thing inside the basement which Naruto and Sasuke would convert into a kids area when they got older so their friends wouldn't be all over the house. Naruto slid the mattress over by the other twin mattress and box spring that used to be in Ryu's bedroom.

Naruto went back upstairs peeking in and saw Ryu was starting to wake up. Naruto went back into the bedroom and slid the dresser away from the wall.

Naruto turned to face the doorway and saw Sasuke and Ryu with bedhead standing in the doorway with blank faces.

"Guess what you two get to do?" Naruto asked over enthusiastically.

"Hm?" Sasuke questioned sleepily.

"You get to go pick up paint! The tarps are in the basement. Have fun." Naruto said as he began to walk out of the room.

Ryu reached his arms to his Daddy who took him.

"You're forgiven Ryu. Papa is still in trouble though."

"We sweepy."

"I know baby. You two are going to be getting a bedtime soon."

Sasuke yawned and followed them down stairs. All three of them walked to the front door. Sasuke and Ryu slipped their shoes on.

"I've got to go back to work. Go get the paint." Naruto said sternly.

Sasuke waved him off as they walked to the black Jeep Wrangler. Sasuke unlocked it and put Ryu in the back and buckled him up. Naruto ran a hand through his son's messy hair before doing the same to his boyfriends.

"Bye honey."

"Hn." Sasuke replied and gave Naruto a full kiss on the lips before running his tongue over Naruto's bottom lip and biting on it slightly.

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! GET A ROOM YOUR SON DOESN'T NEED TO SEE THAT!" Kisame bellowed from the top floor of Itachi's house. Ryu started giggling and Sasuke gave Kisame the middle finger.

Naruto pulled back laughing.

"Bye Teme."

"Bye Naruto…" Sasuke said as he made to get in the driver's seat. He watched Naruto jump back in the Honda and took off.

Sasuke opened the door before he heard, "Otouto."

He stopped and turned around looking at his elder brother.

"Mind if I tag along?"

"Yes."

Itachi walked over and got in the passenger side anyway.

"TACHI!" Ryu practically screamed from the back seat.

"Hello Ryu."

Sasuke couldn't fathom why his son seemed happiest around his brother. It was an enigma to him. Whenever Sasuke and Naruto would go out and leave Ryu with Itachi, their son never wanted to come home. Itachi claimed to never have any idea why.

Sasuke started up the car and put it in drive. He started heading in the direction of the hardware store.

"Would you like to stop and get lunch?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke was about to tell him no, but "YES!" Ryu answered for him.

"After we go and get the paint." Sasuke sighed.

The three of them hopped out of the car and Ryu went up grabbing his uncle's hand completely content with his decision while Sasuke looked on jealous and irritated. Why did his son like his brother more? WHY?

They walked into the store and Sasuke walked right up to the paint. Naruto and Sasuke had already decided on light purple as being the color. Sasuke handed the color swatch to the employee and asked for it. They made a trip to the window area and Sasuke picked up a curtain rod and selected some curtains. This was going to be his little I'm Sorry gesture for falling back asleep. They walked back to paint and picked up the tub along with everything else they needed.

After paying and jumping back in the car, going through the first decent drive-thru the trio of Uchiha's made in back to Sasuke's.

They brought everything inside and Sasuke set the food on the table before running upstairs and dropping everything off in the bedroom.

Sasuke came downstairs to see his son happily munching on chicken strips and Itachi slowly eating fries while watching his nephew with interest.

Sasuke joined them before taking out a burger and fries and moving his drink closer to him.

"What did you want to talk about Itachi that had to be discussed in person and not by text message?"

"If I sent a text you'd just ignore it."

'Probably' Sasuke mentally thought while nodding.

"I was beginning to wonder when you were planning on making an honest man out of Naruto."

Sasuke choked on his drink and looked up at his brother with wide eyes only to find Itachi still hadn't taken his eyes off of Ryu.

"What?" He asked bewildered.

Itachi turned and faced him before clasping his fingers together and resting his chin upon them flattening them.

"You heard me, Otouto. Ryu deserves a proper family. And so will your daughter."

Sasuke's mouth was slightly agape whilst he stared at Itachi. Sasuke leaned back in his chair and let out the breath that had been trapped in his chest.

He hadn't thought about it. Naruto didn't exactly bring it up. And they were totally comfortably. Why change things?

Being a 'proper family'. His kids did deserve that. But Naruto wasn't hinting at wanting to be engaged or married. He wasn't sure Naruto wouldn't be receptive to the idea. If he proposed to Naruto the old fashioned way he might make Naruto feel too feminine. Sasuke started chewing on his lip and looked back at Itachi.

"Think about it." Itachi rose and picked up his bag of food before ruffling up Ryu's hair.

Ryu started to frantically do grabby hands and trying to get his Uncle to take him. Ryu's eyes widened and his pout formed.

"Pwease Tachi."

"Sorry buddy. Maybe next time Ryu. Be good."

Sasuke watched his older brother walked down the stairs and then his eyes gazed back to his one year old son who had opted to place his head on his food in an act of tantrum throwing. Sasuke smirked. At least he wasn't loud.

Sasuke finished eating and cleaned off Ryu's face. He took Ryu downstairs and turned the T.V. on. Sasuke watched as little crayons brainwashed his son. Ryu had no idea what was going on. But, it kept him entertained.

Naruto walked in and stopped.

"You better have-"

"We did."

Ryu looked over to his Daddy and gave a smile. He got up and walked over giving his Daddy a hug.

"We go see Tachi?" Ryu asked while tilting his head to the side cutely.

"What does your brother do with our son when we aren't around."

"No clue."

Sasuke got up and washed and greeted Naruto giving him a kiss.

"So what's the movie tonight?"

"Hm, how about Fast & Furious?"

"Sounds good."

Throughout the movie Ryu smiled and giggled while clapping his hands. They'd have to watch it when he's older and driving. Sasuke could almost see the speeding tickets.

The credits started rolling and Ryu was still awake.

"Ok Ryu, bedtime!" Naruto chimed and picked up the now not-so-happy 1 year old.

All three of them went upstairs. Sasuke picked out some pajamas for Ryu and a diaper with the box of wipes. They changed the pouting child and placed him in the crib.

"We are going to have to get him a toddler bed soon."

Sasuke nodded in agreement.

Ryu stood up in the crib holding onto the railing looking out at his Dad's. His eyes went to Sasuke.

"More movies?" He asked in a hopeful tone.

Naruto turned and shook his head at Sasuke,

"I don't think Daddy will let us. Maybe tomorrow night." Sasuke said with a small smile.

Ryu threw himself down in the crib landing face first.

"Just like your Papa." Naruto said with a smile.

Naruto and Sasuke walked back into their room holding hands. Naruto and Sasuke stripped down to their boxers and climbed in bed. Naruto fell asleep almost instantly.

Sasuke watched Naruto sleep. He was kind of surprised. He'd never thought of proposing to Naruto. Sasuke turned and looked to the door and saw his son walking in.

"Daddy sleeping?"

"Yes."

Ryu walked over to Sasuke's side of the bed and Sasuke picked him up putting him in bed with them. It didn't matter what bed they had Ryu in, he always found a way out. Ryu fell asleep after a while and Sasuke climbed out of bed looking for some string.

The next day Ryu and Sasuke awoke to Naruto eye-balling them suspiciously.

"How does he get out of his crib?"

"I don't know Dobe."

After going through their morning routine, Sasuke painted his soon-to-be daughter's bedroom a lovely lavender. Ryu helped by going in his room making a pile of toys he wanted to keep. Sasuke was super sure that his son would have all his toys in that pile, but it was keeping him busy.

Sasuke peeked his head in his son's room and sure enough saw all his toys in a pile.

"Alright buddy, put them back. Papa is going to take a shower ok?"

"Okay." Ryu chimed and started putting his toys back. Sasuke set the little gate up as the stair entrance and Ryu's door. Just in case his little con artist got out of the first one.

Sasuke ran downstairs and showered quickly before running back upstairs checking on his son. Ryu had gotten about half put away before falling asleep on the stuffed animals.

Sasuke threw some clothes on and took the gates down. He put all his son's toys away. He gently picked up his son and placed him against his chest. Ryu stirred a bit and the pair of them walked back into his room to grab his string.

They both went downstairs, out the door and into the car. Sasuke and Ryu drove around while Sasuke scanned the streets looking for something specific. His eyes lit up slightly and a smile slid on his face.

Sasuke pulled into the parking lot. The building stood alone. He grabbed Ryu who was now awake and walked up to the front door. Sasuke pressed the doorbell and a buzzing sound rang through to outside and he opened the first set of doors.

"Pretty." Ryu said while looking up. Sasuke did the same and they saw a beautiful crystal chandelier.

"Very pretty." Sasuke commented.

A second buzzing sound rang through and they walked through the second set of doors. Ryu and Sasuke were greeted by a couple of men standing on the other side of the counter. To his right Sasuke saw women's everyday jewelry and to his far left he saw watches. Sasuke and Ryu walked in and in the center display case was beautiful jade jewelry and more unique pieces. Finally toward the back Sasuke found what he was looking for. Men's jewelry.

"Ok Ryu, we have to pick something out for Daddy alright?"

Ryu nodded still looking in the case. Sasuke scanned the case looking for something that suited his Dobe. Sasuke bit his lip nervously. He was looking for an engagement ring. And this seemingly easy task… just got a lot harder. He felt a lump in his throat.

'What if Naruto didn't like whichever one he picked. What if Naruto didn't want to be married.'

Sasuke looked down at Ryu whose face was on the glass and he was fogging up the display case with his breathing.

"That one's pretty." Ryu said while pointing with his baby fingers.

Sasuke followed Ryu's finger and saw a simple yet elegant band. It was a yellow gold and white gold band that had been intertwined together. He looked next two it and saw a matching on that was only a little wider.

Sasuke indicated towards those two rings and the salesman pulled them both out.

"These one's?"

Ryu nodded.

"This one for Papa." He said while pointing to the slightly thinner band.

"I'll take them both." Sasuke said while nodding his head.

Naruto had to like it. Ryu picked them out.

Sasuke pulled the string out and they slid it down the ring sizing stick. They slide the ring intended for Naruto down the stick noting it was a perfect size.

Sasuke tried the ring on that would be for him on and was pleased with the fit.

"Looks like we're ready to go."

"Yay!" Ryu chimed with a smile.

They paid for the rings and had Naruto's wrapped in white tissue paper and they put an orange ribbon with an orange bow on it. They walked out of the store with a small bag and drove back home.

Sasuke mounted the curtain rod above the window and hung the curtains once the paint dried. He slid the dresser back against the wall. Sasuke went downstairs and brought up the box that contained Ryu's toddler bed and then brought up the second crib mattress.

After disassembling Ryu's crib and reassembling it in his daughter's room he brought in the new mattress and tossed it in the crib still incased in plastic. He then assembled Ryu's new bed and put his mattress and pillow back on the bed. Ryu climbed right on it and smiled up at his Papa.

"Ok Ryu. When Daddy comes home you need to give him this." Sasuke said while holding up the bag.

Ryu nodded.

The pair of them stayed upstairs playing 'Pirate versus Dragon' in which Sasuke, like a good Dad, got hit with a plastic sword while Ryu made pirate noises.

They heard Naruto walk through the door and announce his presence. The pair of them waited a few minutes before Sasuke heard Naruto in the kitchen. Sasuke carried his son downstairs and put Ryu on the ground then handed him the little box.

"Ok, go on." Sasuke whispered.

"Daddy!" Ryu called.

Naruto turned around and put the food he was prepping down. He wiped his hands on his jeans and picked Ryu up.

"Hey honey! How was your day?"

"Fine. We painted and played."

"That sounds fun! What in your hand?"

"A pretty present for you Daddy."

"From who?" Naruto asked while accepting the small parcel.

Naruto set Ryu down while he eyed the box.

"Me!" Ryu said with a big smile.

Naruto heard Sasuke snort."

"Papa too."

"Oh ok." Naruto said with a smile and looked over and Sasuke who was walking towards him.

Naruto opened the box and pulled out a small black velvet box lined with gold. Naruto looked up at Sasuke who looked nervous as hell.

They watched as Naruto flipped the box in his hand before slowly opening it.

Naruto's wide eyes looked up at Sasuke with a questioning look.

"I was wondering if you'd be interested in becoming a proper family? With me. I love you Naruto. I want to spend the rest of my existence with you. I would love to have the honor of becoming your husband if you'll have me?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto pulled the small band out of the box and handing the box to Ryu who would probably add it to his collection of 'pretty things'.

Naruto slid the ring on and choked a bit. "I would love too Sasuke." He hugged Sasuke and kissed him.

"I love you too."

"So, I'm thinking," a few kisses to Naruto's lips and cheek trailing down to his neck, "that we should celebrate." Sasuke said slightly breathless.

Naruto's eyes glazed over. Sasuke reached in his pocket pulling out his own matching band and slid it on his ring finger.

"And what about Ryu."

"Let him play."

Sasuke led Naruto upstairs.

"Be good honey. Papa and Daddy will be upstairs ok." Naruto called down.

"Ok Daddy."

They made it upstairs and Sasuke started a bath. Both men stripped down caressing one another and placing kisses all over each other. Naruto dropped to his knees and began to suck on Sasuke's engorged length.

Sasuke's breathing labored slightly. He thanked himself once more for convincing Naruto to pierce his tongue.

Sasuke tugged Naruto by the hair.

"Turn around Naruto."

Naruto turned around and put one leg up on the ledge of the bathrub and steadied himself by bracing his arms on the wall and sink giving Sasuke a perfect view.

Sasuke grabbed the lube and poured some on himself coating himself and poured some on Naruto. He wiped his hand on the towel slightly to remove most of the lube on his hand. He held Naruto's hip and grabbed the base of his shaft.

"Push out baby."

Naruto did so as he felt his boyfrie- no, fiancé rub the lube over his entrance. Sasuke started to push in slowly and Naruto kept pushing out.

Sasuke got inside of him completely and let out a shaky breath. He cherished being able to get inside Naruto especially since now they had Ryu walking around.

Sasuke started thrusting slightly. Naruto could take it by now.

Sasuke built up momentum and stroked Naruto's length. Naruto was full on moaning and Sasuke was enjoying himself completely. Sasuke felt himself getting ready to unload and judging off Naruto's ragged breath and slight trembling, Naruto was close too.

Naruto came first and Sasuke followed soon after. Sasuke slowed down and pulled out. He watched as his cum started to drip out of Naruto and down his leg.

"You are such a perve Teme."

"You love me."

Naruto laughed before they climbed in the bath and cleaned off.

After getting dressed in loungewear the two men came downstairs to see Ryu eating Cheerio's out of the box.

"Ryu! You're spoiling your dinner." Naruto scolded while taking the box away.

Ryu gave a mini pout before a look of confusion crossed his face.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow and watched his son.

"Daddy, why were you making funny noises upstairs?"

Naruto paled. "What do you mean?"

Ryu made baby moaning noises. "Like that Daddy."

Naruto had a look of pure horror on his face. "You heard that, chibi?"

"Yeah. I got the step from the potty and heard you. Why you make funny noise?"

Naruto looked up at Sasuke.

"Daddy was enjoying his bath."

"Ok." Ryu went back back to playing with his stuffed dinosaur.

Naruto looked up at Sasuke.

"Did you know about that?"

The smile that slipped on Sasuke's face said yes. "Know about what?"

"You are such a jackass. How long have you known and didn't tell me?!" Naruto screeched.

Sasuke laughed at the comical look on Naruto's face.

"I've known since day one Dobe. Remember when we took bath's at the same time?"

Naruto definitely remembered.

"Ryu say bye-bye to Papa."

"Why?"

"Cause he's going to get it."

"Oh. Bye Papa!"

Naruto chased his new fiancé out the door and to Itachi's house where Sasuke decidedly took refuge for the next couple of days.

A/N: Ok so I got the feeling you didn't like skimming through events in their lives. But, it wasn't an mpreg story so I didn't want to elaborate on their POV for 40 weeks. So instead of this being the last chapter, you get another one after this! Yay!
