When Haku woke the next morning his hands instinctively went to his stomach. When he didn't feel the taut skin he immediately started to panic.
Sasuke, who had just managed to get Haku's still unnamed son to sleep got up too quickly and woke up the infant in his arms, who started crying.
Sasuke briskly walked to the fresh baked parent and handed him his son. "How long was I asleep for?" Haku asked gently rocking his son. "About 3 and a half hours." Sasuke replied.
At that moment Sakura, who had been with Sasuke and the baby said "Your son must be hungry by now. Why don't you try and feed him again?"
Haku nodded. When the baby refused to feed again he frowned. Sakura just smiled at him. "Don't worry about it. You can try again later."
Haku nodded as Sakura took the baby away and settled down for another nap. He was still tired from earlier.
xXxXx
Haku gently stroked his son's soft cheek. The baby was asleep comfortably nuzzled in his arms. Haku was so focused on the baby in he didn't notice the blond man who entered the room.
"He's cute."
Haku jumped and held his son tightly as he looked looked up to see a tall, handsome blond man approach him.
"Relax," the man said, smiling at him. Haku felt himself relaxing at the man's friendly smile. "I'm Naruto."
Haku nodded. "Nice to meet you Naruto-kun."
Naruto grinned at that. "You must be Haku-chan. Sasuke told me everything. Since I don't have to be at work for a couple of hours I decided to keep you company."
"Thank you." Haku said quietly. He looked back at his son and smiled. "He's so small. I'm afraid I'll drop him or something."
Naruto chuckled. "I thought the same when Sora was born. Sasuke just told me I was being stupid."
"Sora?" Haku asked curiously. He hadn't met Sora yet. Only Tsubasa, Ryo and Kiyoshi.
Naruto chuckled. "I guess you wouldn't know. When we were in high school I stupidly knocked Sasuke up. I guess that's why Sasuke took such a liking to you. You were like him. Pregnant and young and scared. I could never even begin to imagine what he was feeling during the pregnancy. He didn't even tell me until halfway through his sixth month and that was only because I noticed his stomach getting bigger. Even after Sora was born we didn't have any support system yet. We still had college and everything. We turned out okay though. Our brothers ended up helping us a lot. And we'll help you. Don't worry."
Haku looked up at Naruto shocked. He managed to nod before turning back to Naruto.
"I have a question."
Naruto nodded. "Go ahead."
Haku looked down at the baby. "He won't feed from me. It's been twelve hours since he was born. He should be hungry and yet he won't feed."
Naruto just sighed. "With Sasuke Sora fed immediately. Shikamaru had a bit of trouble with Ryo even though Riku fed immediately. Ryo did end up feeding though after a while. Gaara had some trouble with Kiyoshi and Kumiko. I can ask him to come talk to you if you want."
Haku nodded. "If it's not too much trouble."
Naruto just smiled. "No trouble at all." Haku turned his attention back to the baby as Naruto walked out. He smiled and cooed as his son blinked his eyes open and stared at him sleepily.
He looked up as the door opened. He saw a long haired brunette with lilac eyes at the door.
"You must be Gaara." Haku said, smiling. "I'm Haku."
The man shook his head. "I'm Neji. Naruto is useless when it comes to remembering the moments after birth. Gaara's twins fed as soon as they were born. Kumiko and Kiyoshi fought the moment they were born. Gaara blames Naruto. He says the twins are too much like their sire."
Haku frowned. "He didn't seem that bad."
Neji continued, "Anyways. My son Tsubasa refused to breastfeed at first." he said as he sat down next to Haku. "Which was really scary because I thought something was wrong with him. He's the youngest of the nine kids and the other eight didn't take as long as he did. Even though Sakura kept telling me that some babies took longer than others I couldn't help but worry."
Haku looked up at him, "What did you do?"
Neji stood up, "May I?"
Haku hesitated before nodding. Neji reached down and picked the newborn child up delicately.
"I forgot how small they were." Neji mumbled as he rocked the baby gently. "Have you chosen a name yet?"
"Kaito," Haku said, wincing as he sat up straighter. "Kaito Zabuza Momochi."
Neji nodded and cooed at the baby. "He's beautiful." he told Haku.
"Thank you." Haku smiled.
"Take off your shirt." Neji instructed.
Haku blinked at him, shocked. "What?"
"When Tsubasa refused to breastfeed I asked Sasuke about it. He told me that he found feeding Sora with direct skin to skin contact helped." Neji said as took the blanket off of the baby. He waited until Haku was shirtless before placing the baby in his arms.
Neji cooed the baby into turning his head. Kaito opened his mouth to cry but Neji had already placed Haku's nipple in his mouth. Kaito turned fully and began to drink hungrily. Neji gently rubbed the baby's back.
"Good boy." he cooed. The baby made a small sound before he began sucking again,
Haku grinned, "This feels weird. Look at him go." he whispered.
Neji smiled at him. "See, he's fine."
"Thank you." Haku said.
"No problem."
Neji waited until Kaito finished eating before placing the sleepy baby in a crib. He made his way to Haku's side. "Try to stand. I want to introduce you to Sai and Ino. They work at home three days a week and watch over the younger kids who are too young to go to school. The other days they just go to daycare."
Haku grabbed onto Neji and gingerly placed his feet on the floor. He winced as he stood but managed to stand on his own. After Haku dressed himself Neji carefully led him out of the room.
They were greeted by a screaming three year old.
Tsubasa had been trying to keep up with the older kids game but had ended up falling and smashing his face into the floor.
Neji rolled his eyes and glared at the other kids. "No running in the house." he said sternly. "Kumiko, Mika, Michiki and Ayaka, go upstairs and find Mommy-Hinata. She's going to get you bathed and ready today. Sora, Kiyoshi, Ryo and Riku, go upstairs and find Daddy-Naruto. He's going to get you bathed and ready for today."
The four girl groaned and walked off to find Ino while the four boys ran upstairs to find Naruto. Neji turned his attention back to his son. Tsubasa was still crying so Neji leaned down and picked him up.
Tsubasa clung onto Neji and buried his head.
Neji turned to Haku. "Savor the age when they're too little to move." he joked. "This is Tsubasa, my son. Mine and Sai's son. He's actually my only biological son." he bounced Tsubasa until the boy calmed down. "Say 'hi' Tsu-chan."
Tsubasa pouted and buried his face in Neji's shoulder. He mumbled out, "Hi Mister Haku. How's my new brother?"
Haku looked at the boy shocked. "New brother?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Tsubasa asked looking at his father with huge eyes.
Neji smiled and said, "Why don't you go and find Daddy-Naruto and get a bath like your brothers?"
"Ok Daddy. Bye bye Mister Haku." Tsubasa said hugging Haku's legs.
Haku smiled "The children are so cute." Neji helped Haku sit on the nearest chair and the started making them some tea.
"You haven't met all of them and at the same time. They can be quite the handful then." Neji chuckled.
Haku just smiled, "It's worth it though."
Neji chuckled, "So who's Kaito's father, if you don't mind me asking?"
Haku shrugged. "I don't really know. All I really remember is that it happened at an after-party of the large fashion company I was modelling for. I remember it because it had been a huge event and week or so after I started feeling sick."
"What did your father say?" Neji asked as he placed a cup of tea in front of Haku.
"To be honest I was afraid of telling him because I thought he would disown me or tell me to get rid of it. He didn't find out until I reached the beginning of my second trimester. He was really supportive though. He said that he loved being a father and he would love to be a grandfather." Haku gripped the mug and frowned, "He never got to meet his grandson though."
Neji put his hand on Haku's shoulder and said "Maybe so, but I know that he is watching over both you and Kaito as we speak. I also know that he would be so proud of you for being so brave. Sasuke told me that you didn't once think that you couldn't do it. To be honest, halfway through Tsubasa's birth I felt like giving up. Sasuke told me that you were really brave and strong though the whole thing."
Haku didn't realise he was crying until he felt hands stroking the tears away. "It's ok to cry. You've been through a lot in the past couple weeks."
While Haku calmed down Neji started on breakfast. He knew that Sasuke and Naruto normally went out for breakfast since they had to get to work early. Shikamaru sometimes helped clean up before he went off to work.
He was cooking for Haku today as well though. He turned to the brunet, "Are you allergic to anything? I hope you don't mind bacon and eggs."
Haku shook his head, "Actually I'm a vegetarian. I do eat eggs though."
"That's fine. Ino and Karin are vegetarians as well. I can make you some toast if you like? I have some fresh fruit as well."
"Can I help?" Haku offered.
Neji handed him a bowl full of apples. "Can you cut these, please?"
Haku nodded and began his task.
"Daddy!"
Haku and Neji looked up to see a very naked and wet Riku run toward them. He had tears in his eyes.
Neji looked up to see Gaara following slowly behind the little boy.
"He wants Shikamaru but Shikamaru left for work already. Apparently Sasuke and him never told anyone that they were going to leave work early yesterday to assist in a birth so they have a lot of work to make up."
Haku blushed and looked down. "Sorry. I guess that's my fault."
Gaara shook his head as he snuck up on Riku. "It's not your fault." He quickly wrapped a towel around the little boy before picking him up. Riku struggles a bit and cried out.
Neji sighed. "I'll take him. You finish cooking."
Gaara grunted and pushed the squirming child into Neji's arms. Neji frowned at the boy. "You'll see daddy later. Okay. Now stop whining." he told the boy as he walked off.
Gaara turned to Haku. "Sorry about that. You must be Haku. I'm Gaara."
Haku smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Gaara smiled back, "You too." He turned around to work on breakfast. "So do you know what you're going to do now?"
Haku frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Just in general. What's your plan?"
Haku shrugged, "Sell dad's company to Sasuke. The money I get from that will last a while. I'll get back in shape and then hopefully start modelling again."
Gaara gave Haku a questioning look and asked, "What will you do with Kaito?"
"I'll probably hire a nanny to take care of him."
"Do you really want Kaito being raised by a nanny?"
"What other choice do I have?"
Before Gaara could answer a small dark haired boy ran into the room. Ryo tugged on Haku's pants.
"My baby brother is crying." he said cutely. "Fix him."
Gaara lifted the little four year old up. "I don't know if you met him yet. This is Ryo. Riku's twin brother. Riku was the one Neji just took away kicking and screaming."
Ryo grinned at that. "I'm the good child."
Haku chuckled, "I met Ryo already. He was actually there when Kaito was born."
"He had all this gross stuff on him. Is he cute yet?"
Haku smiled as he stood. He carefully made his way back to the room he stayed in. "Let's go check."
Ryo squirmed out of Gaara's arms and ran after Haku. He bounced as he waited for the brunet to show him the baby.
Kaito squirmed and stopped crying as soon as he was cuddled to his dad's chest. Haku made his way back to the kitchen and sat back down. Ryo climbed onto the chair next to him and looked down at the baby.
"He's really tiny." Ryo remarked.
"You used to be that little," Gaara told him.
Ryo looked at his daddy in disbelief and asked, "Was I cute like Baby-Kai?"
Gaara shook his head. "You were cute alright. However it was impossible to tell you and Riku apart. I lucked out with my twins. They were two separate genders. Shikamaru felt like such an awful father for not being able to tell his kids apart."
Haku frowned. "That must have been hard."
"It was at the beginning but we developed a method to tell them apart."
"Please tell me." Haku asked politely, a sparkle appearing in his eyes.
"Well Riku is more of a shy daddy's boy. He is practically attached at Shikamaru's hip whenever he has the chance. Ryo is more open and adventurous."
Ryo grinned at that. "I'm older." he said proudly.
"Yeah, by two minutes."
The small group looked up to see Sakura, dressed in khakis and a dress shirt, coming down the stairs. Mika and Kumiko in tow.
Ryo perked up. "Guys! Look at the baby!"
Mika and Kumiko ran up to him and stood on their tiptoes in an attempt to see the baby.
Gaara chuckled. "That's enough you guys. Sit down for breakfast."
Ayaka and Michiki came downstairs next. They sat next to the other two girls and waited patiently for their food. They were playing with dolls while they waited.
Every once in a while they would gaze at Haku who was gently rocking Kaito in his arms humming a small tune in the baby's ears.
Sakura quietly left the room to make a quick phone call and when she came back she said, "I just got off the phone with Sasuke, Shikamaru and Naruto. They said that despite it being really hectic at the office today, they'll make it home in time for dinner."
"Yay!" Mika and Kumiko cheered excitedly because their Daddy-Sasuke, Daddy-Shikamaru and Daddy-Naruto hardly ever came home for dinner when they had busy days.
This reaction made Haku chuckle until Kaito made a face and a foul smelling aroma filled the air.
"Would you excuse me while I go into the livingroom to change Kaito?"
"Of course. Go ahead." Gaara said with a smile on face. "Do you need help?"
"I think I got it. Thanks anyways."
Haku got up and left, and unbeknownst to the adults, Ryo followed Haku into the livingroom and sat next to him on the sofa.
Haku was so busy taking off his son's onesie and diaper that he was startled when Ryo suddenly said, "I really like my new brother Kai-chan. I like you too Daddy-Haku."
Haku's eyes widen in surprise at the little boys words and was unsure of what to think.
As Haku was cleaning his son's bottom and Ryo was talking to his self-proclaimed baby brother Haku started pondering.
Although he didn't meet the entire family yet he felt very welcomed by the ones he had already met.
The thought of having to potentially leave them as well as having to sell his father's company sent Haku into such an inner turmoil that he didn't realise Kaito was crying. He quickly wiped away a tear and worked on finishing Kaito's diaper.
"Daddy-Gaara. Daddy-Haku and Baby-Kai are crying."
Gaara came into the living-room and when he saw Haku and Kaito crying he gently took Kaito and finished changing him while asking; "What's wrong Haku?"
"Sorry." he sniffled. "I'm just a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I thought I was ready for this. I thought I was prepared. But I wasn't. I don't know if I can do all this alone."
Gaara frowned. "You're not alone. I'm sure the others will agree with me when I say you can stay until you get back on your feet."
Haku stared at him shocked. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
