My Everything
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry that this story took so long to update. I just got some writer's block for it and got caught up in my other stories. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Notation: This takes place two months after the last chapter.
Chapter 11
Two months later, Naruko and Sasuke were at a restaurant with the rest of Team Seven. Privately, the last Uchiha thought that his lover was out of her mind. He couldn't see how this little reunion would end in anything other than disaster, but she had been so excited about it. One look at those sad blue eyes and Sasuke had caved almost immediately.
So that was how he found himself sitting next to Naruko at a rather large table in a fancy restaurant. Thankfully, the villagers had gotten fairly used to seeing the Leaf's new power couple. They were staring and whispering about them, but at least they were trying to be subtle about it. (Sasuke did give them some points for at least trying not to be too obvious about their gossiping.)
"Naruko, are you sure you don't want the ramen?" Sasuke asks.
"Yeah. I'm sure. I think I'll just have a steak." She replies and the raven haired ninja raises an eyebrow.
Naruko didn't want ramen. This had to be a historic day. Was she an imposter? He decides there was only one way to find out. Subtly he places his hand underneath the table and squeezes her inner thigh.
An imposter would be shocked. A fake Naruko would blush. They would probably jump. The real Naruko's eyes would flash orange or amber like in Sage mode briefly. He relaxes when he saw that they did indeed change color for a second or two. This was indeed his blonde.
"Are you feeling alright, Naruko?" Kakashi asks in concern.
He had never heard of his former student turning down ramen. Was she sick or something? That was just so unlike her that the Copycat Ninja couldn't help but grow concerned.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just for some reason the thought of eating ramen right now makes me want to vomit. It's weird." She says with a shrug.
Sakura shrugs. Naruko had been practically living off of the cheap noodles for years. Maybe she had finally just gotten sick of it. The blue eyed ninja certainly didn't look sick.
"I can look you over, if you want." The pink haired woman offers.
"Maybe after dinner. I feel fine now. So how are you guys? It's been forever since we all last got together." Naruko inquires cheerfully.
Sai happily answers her question. He launches into a long explanation about his newest artistic projects and how he was dating Ino now. Sasuke raises an eyebrow at that last part.
He had a hard time wrapping his mind around the thought of those two together. Still it was none of his business. He couldn't really judge. Naruko and him were opposites in every conceivable way. Sometimes opposites attracted. That had to be the case with Ino and Sai.
"Sometimes I help her at the flower shop. She appreciates my knowledge of color contrasts." He states smugly.
"That's very nice. Well I've just been doing the standard missions. Nothing particularly interesting to report." Yamato offers.
The waitress comes over and takes their order. Sasuke watches as Naruko discusses the flower shop with Sai. How she could pretend to have an interest in such mundane things was beyond his comprehension.
No wait. On second thought, she actually did look sincerely interested. Really? Flowers? Honestly.
"I've been enjoying my retirement. It's amusing to listen to all the rumors swirling around the village these days. Is there any truth to some of the more exotic ones?" Kakashi inquires "innocently."
Sakura, Yamato, and Sasuke all sputter at that question. It was obvious what the silver haired ninja was asking. He was asking about the Leaf's most infamous power couple's sex life.
"Depends on how exotic you are talking. I don't really pay attention to what rumors are flying around anymore." Naruko says with a shrug and Sasuke shoots Kakashi a dirty look.
There was no way in Hell that he was going to discuss that aspect of their relationship, in front of their teammates. Forget that. It just wasn't going to happen.
"Alright. Alright. Sasuke, you don't have to give me that look. It's perfectly to be curious. I am only interested in making sure that two of my former students are happy. That's all. It's not as if I was going to ask for a demonstration." The CopyCat Ninja informs him.
Sasuke felt himself twitch. He wouldn't entirely put such a thing past Kakashi. He settles down once it became clear that the other ninja was going to stand down though.
"He's just teasing, bastard." Naruko says with a laugh and then her eyes widen and she runs towards the bathroom.
Sasuke blinks. He quickly follows his lover. What the Hell was going on? First, she didn't want ramen. Now she was racing towards the bathroom?
"Naruko?" He calls out in concern in the hall.
"I'll be fine. Just give me a few minu-" Naruko begins to say, but never finishes her sentence as the sounds of vomiting can be heard coming from inside the bathroom.
"Sasuke, you can't go in there. It's the women's bathroom." Sakura scolds him once she comes into view.
Sasuke gives her a look that says, "Oh really? Who is going to stop me?" The pink haired ninja just shakes her head at the look on the last Uchiha's face. It was almost cute that he was so worried about Naruko.
"I'll go check on her. Besides, I'm a medic. I can probably help her more than you could in this situation." The jade eyed woman reasons as she walks into the bathroom.
"Naruko?" She calls out gently.
The blue eyed ninja didn't respond to Sakura. She was too busy emptying her stomach of all its contents. Sakura was somewhat alarmed by how much the other woman was vomiting.
"H-ey, Sakura." She mumbles after a few minutes.
"Maybe we should get you to the hospital. That seems rather excessive, even for the flu and I've never known you to get sick." She suggests.
"Yeah. That might be a good idea." The blonde concedes and heads out of the bathroom with Sakura.
The Hokage was practically tackled by her very worried lover. Sasuke's eyes scan her from head to toe. It was obvious that he was trying to see what was wrong with her.
"We are going to stop at the hospital. I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe it was just some bad ramen, but it's better to get it checked out." The blonde says.
Sasuke raises an eyebrow. Somehow had doubted bad ramen would have that drastic of an impact on a person. He wraps his arms around Naruko and teleports her to the hospital in a swirl of flames.
"DAMN IT, SASUKE!" Sakura growls as she was left behind.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Sasuke and Naruko find Tsunade. The raven haired ninja was certainly not going to wait around for Sakura to catch up. Naruko was sick and needed treatment immediately.
"What's going on? Why does Naruko look like Hell?" The busty blonde demands.
"I spent the last ten minutes or so losing my lunch and breakfast. That's why." Naruko informs Tsunade in a huff.
The medic blinks at that news. She gestures for the couple to follow her to her office. First things first, she checked Naruko's temperature. Hmm she wasn't running a fever.
"Well no fever. So I think we can rule out the flu or anything of that nature. Let me take your vitals." The older woman says as she does exactly that.
Tsunade had never felt more nervous during an exam in her life. Sasuke was standing in the corner. She knew that the last Uchiha was ready to jump on her the second he didn't approve of whatever she was doing to her patient. Sasuke apparently had invented the phrase overprotective.
"Hmm your vitals are fine. I'm not really seeing anything that should trigger that much vomiting." Tsunade says a few minutes later.
Sasuke watches the blondes like a hawk. On one hand, he knew he was being ridiculous. Tsunade clearly wasn't going to try to hurt Naruko. On the other hand, his instincts just didn't care.
"I hate to get personal, but I am only asking as a medical professional. Have you two been intimate without using the Jutsu or other forms of contraception?" The busty blonde ask cautiously.
"We were intimate once at the start of our relationship without using protection. Since then we were very careful. I'm sure that Gaara has told you about the attempt on Naruko's life." Sasuke says.
Naruko blinks. Well they had been really careful, except for the first time and there was that time a couple months ago in the classroom. That had been fun.
"Well we slipped up twice actually. Remember the classroom?" She asks Sasuke.
"The classroom?" Tsunade asks and raises an eyebrow at that question.
"You said that your interest was purely as a medical professional. You don't get the details about our sex life and that includes locations. Do you really think that she is pregnant?" Sasuke asks.
"It's certainly possible. Twice isn't much, but it really only takes once. How long ago was the classroom incident?" She asks in amusement.
Naruko feels herself blushing. She definitely enjoyed sex with Sasuke. Hell she enjoyed it even more than fighting with him, but it wasn't like she was a major exhibitionist and ready to print their sexual exploits up for everyone to read about. That and it felt weird to be discussing this with Tsunade.
"About two months ago." The blue eyed ninja admits.
"Morning sickness generally starts around six weeks. Though it varies. It would explain your nausea and why you aren't displaying any other symptoms. I think a pregnancy test would be our best bet." Tsunade reasons.
Sasuke wanted children with Naruko. More than anything really, but they still had to worry about would be assassins. It wasn't a smart time to have them. Then again, they were ninjas. There really wasn't an ideal time for ninjas to have kids unless it was after they retired from active combat duty.
"Alright, Granny Tsunade." Naruko says as she glances back at her lover.
Sasuke dutifully steps forward and laces one of his hands with Naruko's in a show of support. He nods at Tsunade.
The busty blonde quickly takes out the chakra paper test that was used for pregnancy. She figured that both of them probably knew how it worked, but she was going to tell them anyway. It was better safe than sorry.
The paper will change color. If it's only one color, then Naruko isn't pregnant. If a small bit of it changes a different color or shimmers, then she is. The paper will react to your chakra, as soon as you touch it." Tsunade informs the other blonde woman.
Naruko nods. She touches the paper and watches as it quickly turns an orangeish red color. Though towards the middle there was a tiny speck violet. The blonde blinks as it dawned at her, that she was looking at her son or daughter for the very first time.
"Normally, I would say congratulations. But be careful. The Kazekage is right, it's likely the Daimyos will try something, especially when they find out you are pregnant." Tsunade warns her.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to them. I'll chain her to the bed until she goes into labor, if I have to." Sasuke says firmly.
"What?! No way. You are not chaining me to the bed for my entire pregnancy. Besides, they hadn't tried anything for months. Maybe they gave up or changed their minds…" Naruko suggests hopefully.
Sasuke gives his lover a look that told her exactly what he thought of that assessment. He clearly wasn't as optimistic was his blonde.
"I know that you don't actually believe that." Sasuke says.
"Alright. Alright. You're right. I don't, but hey a girl can hope right?" She asks.
Sasuke just shakes his head. He wraps his arms around Naruko protectively. She was an optimist. He was a pessimist. That was just the way it was. He wasn't going to take any chances when it came to her safety or the safety of their child.
"It's a good thing that you find ramen repulsive at the moment. That's not exactly healthy eating. You should eat better while you are pregnant for the baby's sake. Your stomach might be a fortress, but that's not necessarily the case for him or her." Sasuke muses.
"Hmpf! But yeah, I guess you're right. We should probably let the others know that I'm okay. Do you wanna tell them right away or wait awhile?" She asks.
Sasuke pauses. If the circumstances were different, he'd probably be publicly announcing it immediately. But Naruko was the target of assassination attempts. When they found out that she was pregnant, that was only going to make the situation worse. It was better to keep things quiet for now.
"We'll wait awhile. You aren't showing yet. I don't mind our team knowing, but the less who know right now the better. We don't want to tip the Daimyos off." He says.
Naruko frowns. She wanted to share the good news, but she knew that he was right. He was right from a practical perspective. It was still really annoying though.
"Alright." She sulks.
"We'll just tell them that it was something you ate for now. I know that you are excited and want to tell them the truth. I do too. But it's too dangerous right now. " Her lover tells her.
The blonde sighs. Yeah, she knew that. Still she supposed she should at least let their friends know that she wasn't dying or something. She has Sasuke teleport them back.
"She's fine. Tsunade looked her over. It was just something she ate." Sasuke says and acts completely casual.
Naruko privately thought that Sasuke should have become an actor. If she hadn't been in the doctor's office with him, she never would he suspected the truth. It was a bit disturbing actually.
"Oh well I'm glad you are okay. You should probably head home and try to sleep it off." Sakura suggests and Naruko nods.
"Take good care of her, dickless." Sai says to Sasuke.
Sasuke felt himself twitch. SMACK. He couldn't' resist. Sai had that one coming to him. He had never been that fond of the artist, but comments like that just deserved punishment.
"Sasuke!" Naruko scolds him.
"Did you hear what this idiot called me?" Sasuke demands.
"Yes, I heard it. Sai just makes weird nicknames for people. Trust me, I know that you aren't dickless. Does it really matter if Sai teases you? He's just trying to bond over trash talk." The blonde asks.
The last Uchiha glowers at Sai. He sighs and nods at Naruko. Fine, he'd let the idiot live…for now. He didn't want to risk upsetting Naruko in her condition. That would be bad for the baby.
"Alright. Let's just get you home. You should get some rest, like Sakura says." The blue eyed woman says.
"Take it easy, Naruko." Yamato pleads and the blonde nods in agreement.
"Don't worry. I will. I imagine that the bastard is going to fuss over me like crazy." She responds with a smile.
Damn fucking right he was going to fuss over her. She was carrying their child. Their first child. It was his JOB to "fuss" over her. Naruko would just have to deal with it.
"Good. He should. It's not like you to get sick." Kakashi points out and Sasuke nods in agreement.
"Come on, Naruko." Sasuke says and offers her his hand.
Naruko smiles and takes it. The expectant mother let her lover lead them back to their home. Once they arrive, Sasuke promptly scoops her up Bridal Style and carries her into their room and gently sets her on the bed.
"Bastard, you are going to be insanely overprotective…aren't you?" She asks and Sasuke nods.
"You have assassins after you and you're pregnant. I don't think it's being overprotective. It's being realistically concerned for your safety and our child's safety. You can't possibly expect me not to be worried." Sasuke replies.
The boisterous ninja simply nods her head. Well in a way it was really touching. Sasuke was just showing that he cared in his own "unique" way.
"Alright. I just hope you aren't planning to wrap me in bubble wrap or something." Naruko laughs.
"I considered it." Sasuke informs her.
"Wait! What?! You're joking, right?! You can't possibly be serious about the bubble wrap." She stammers out.
Sasuke smirks. No, he wasn't serious about that. He just couldn't resist teasing her.
"You're right. I was joking. I wouldn't do that. It's still really tempting just to not let you leave this house until you go into labor. I just want you and our baby to be safe. That's all." Sasuke insists.
"That's sweet bastard, but you are forgetting something. I'm a badass ninja! I kicked Madara's ass! I think I can handle whatever assassins they send my way, easily." She exclaims.
Sasuke shakes his head. He kisses her cheek. The last Uchiha knew that his lover was powerful. That wasn't the issue. The issue was the Daimyos were a bunch of conniving vipers. He wouldn't put anything past them.
"I love you. I just don't want to lose you." He admits and wraps the blankets around them.
"I love you too, but you worry too much. Nothing's going to happen to me. Besides, I'm sure Kurama will help too!" She says cheerfully.
Sasuke blinks. That thought hadn't occurred to him. How did Tailed Beasts effect pregnancies. Well Naruko's mother had been the previous host to Kurama. So maybe they didn't have a negative impact. It might be beneficial. Still he wasn't entirely certain that was a comforting though.
"How would he help, exactly?" Sasuke asks.
"I don't know. I mean he's inside my body. If something goes wrong, he'd probably notice it before even I did. Don't worry so much. You aren't even thirty. Do you want to have hair like Kakashi's already?" She teases him.
"Naruko, this is serious." Sasuke chides her.
"I know it is, but you need to relax." She says and flips them so she was on top of him.
Sasuke looks up at Naruko. Hmm yeah, it was hard to be worried when you had such a lovely view on top of you. Her blonde hair framed her face like a halo and her breasts were covered, still glorious. Not to mention her stunning blue eyes. Frankly, the whiskers were fucking adorable. (Not that he would ever admit that out lout because he had his pride.)
"Well you know what happens when you help me relax." He mutters smugly.
"Yeah, I know. That was fun. We should do that again sometime." She says with a smile.
"Yes, yes we should." The eldest Uchiha agrees.
Sasuke blinks as he realizes that technically, he was no longer the last one. Naruko would probably give their child his last name. She was noble like that.
They had a family now. Even if the most they had seen of their child was a tiny violet dot, he or she was going to arrive in a few months. It was…quite the revelation really.
"You alright? You look a little stunned." Naruko asks in concern.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just that it's sinking in. Do you feel any different? Other than the morning sickness." He asks.
Naruko considers the question. She shakes her head. Other than that and suddenly not liking ramen, she felt fine. Still it was nice of Sasuke to ask.
"I feel fine." She assures him and Sasuke caresses her cheek.
"Would you tell me if you didn't? You can be really stubborn sometimes. I don't want you to try to tough it out, if you think something is wrong." He tells her.
"Of course, I'd tell you." Naruko says as she lays down on him, using Sasuke as her mattress. (Her very sexy mattress.)
Sasuke nods in approval. He allows her to lay on him and runs his fingers through her hair. It was hard to believe that this was the same person who had once spray painted the Hokage Mountain Faces to look like clowns as a child. He smirks. She wasn't called the most unpredictable ninja for no reason.
"Try to get some sleep." He tells her.
"Yeah. Okay." Naruko says with a yawn and cuddles into him, soon dozing off.
Sasuke smiles. This time things would be different. He wasn't going to let anyone take his new family from him. If that meant he had to personally slaughter the Daimyos, he would do it.
He tries to picture their child. He pictures blue eyes and dark hair. Blue eyes were recessive, but the Fourth Hokage had blue eyes to. That meant they stood somewhat of a fighting chance. Minato had also been a blonde, but he just couldn't picture a blonde Uchiha. It didn't matter how hard he tried.
"I wonder if you are going to be a boy or a girl." He muses to himself as he lightly places a hand on Naruko's still flat stomach.
It was far too early for her to be showing just yet. That made it somewhat harder for Sasuke to truly wrap his mind around the fact that Naruko was carrying their child. But he had seen the test result for himself. She was pregnant.
Sasuke didn't really have a strong preference either way. He would love a son. But he was also a realist. The men in his family in particular, tended to have rather unhappy endings. Maybe a daughter would be better? Would that make a difference?
"Doesn't matter. Just try not to give your mother too hard of a time. She is very stubborn and I don't care what she says. She probably wouldn't tell me if something was wrong. Also…I hope you aren't scared of the Nine Tails." He continues his conversation with his son or daughter.
For a moment, he imagined Kurama babysitting. He tries not to laugh. Yes, that was definitely not going to happen. It was a comical image though and helped soothe his frazzled nerves enough that he was soon able to join his lover in the Land of Dreams.
