Sasuke rolled his shoulders and sighed. He was utterly exhausted from everything that happened today. First he was yelled at for missing his important meetings, then a pile of papers were dumped on his desk that he had an hour to complete. Nevermind the fact that he had to skip lunch to make up yet another meeting that his brother decided not to tell him about.

Shikamaru fell against Sasuke's shoulder and began dozing off. He did that a lot lately. More than usual. Sasuke would pass it off as Shikamaru having a rough day as well but the last time he acted this way was when he was pregnant with Riku and Ryo.

Then again, maybe Haku coming into the house had brought the idea of having more children into his mind.

Sasuke had forgotten how cute and small babies were. His son, Sora, was already seven and his twins were already four. They grew up so fast.

It was like it was only yesterday when he and Naruto were in the hospital room, him in the bed and Naruto standing beside him. Sora in Sasuke's arms.

Naruto had been so nervous and scared that he would drop or hurt the baby that he wouldn't dare hold him even though Sasuke could see how much he wanted to.

He had to convince the idiot that he would not hurt the baby.

Naruto had looked so good holding their son. He had looked like Sasuke had just handed him the most important thing in the world. And to them, Sora was. Sora was their symbol that no matter what, everything would be okay.

Sasuke sighed and put his arm over his flat stomach. He definitely didn't miss being pregnant. But there was a difference between how he felt about his kids. It was awful and Sasuke hated it but he couldn't help it.

He felt closer to Sora than he did to Riku and Ryo. Carrying Sora inside of him scared him but he had always felt a bond to the baby.

When Shikamaru carried his sons he didn't have that bond.

He still loved the twins more than anything. But it wasn't the same.

Maybe Naruto will knock him up again. Sasuke smiled at that. Maybe he was just tired and over thinking.

Maybe he actually did miss being pregnant.

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts as the limo door opened and Karin stepped in. She looked at Sasuke and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Sasuke sighed and met her eyes, there really was no fooling or lying to someone as smart as Karin. She could read emotions and feelings just by looking at someone.

"No getting past you, huh?"

Karin smirked. "Nope! You've known me our whole live. I can read you the best. Well, you, Juugo and the idiot."

"The idiot you almost married?" Sasuke teased.

Karin's smirk fell and she crossed her arms. "Stop distracting me. We were talking about you. You look unsure about something."

Sasuke nudged Shikamaru into a better position so he wouldn't hurt his neck.

"I don't know if I can really ask you this. You never had a baby." Sasuke frowned.

"Excuse me but Michiki is my daughter." Karin huffed, "In case you forgot."

Sasuke sighed, "Not that. I mean you never carried a baby."

Karin frowned at that, "I think I know what you're talking about." she replied after a while. "Sakura told me how she felt differently about her kids. Is that it?"

Sasuke nodded.

"Don't worry about it. She discovered that it was just her thoughts about wanting to carry another baby." Karin told him.

Sasuke sighed. "I figured that out already. It's just, I don't know if I'm ready."

Karin sighed, "I think you have to talk to your husbands. Who would you want to sire your child?"

"Naruto." Sasuke replied immediately.

Karin looked at him surprised, "Again?"

Sasuke smiled, "He was my first and I trust him. Plus, I liked carrying his baby. And I never really got to share my pregnancy with him because I hid it."

Karin smiled at that. "Then go talk to Naruto."

xXxXx

"I can't believe all our work finally payed off." Kiba said tears of absolute joy streaming down his face.

"Well you should better believe it because it finally happened." Sakura said beaming at Kiba.

"Can you let Shino and Haku in? I want to tell them first." he asked with a blush.

Sakura went and got Haku and Shino who was quick to embrace Kiba tightly.

"Ugh. Careful there babe. You might squish our little miracle in here."

Shino's eyes widened in surprise and shock before he started sobbing in relief and happiness.

"Really? After all this time we were trying so hard and now you're finally pregnant with my baby."

"Congratulations Kiba-kun." Haku said smiling at the expecting parents.

Kiba jumped up and held Haku in a tight hug saying "Thank you so much."

xXxXx

Sasuke gently shook Shikamaru awake before climbing out of the limo. He frowned as Riku and Ryo ran into his and Shikamaru's arms. Sasuke tightened his grip on Ryo and tucked a piece of hair behind his son's ear.

"What's wrong?" Karin asked, worriedly.

Riku just grinned from Shikamaru's arms. "We're going to be big brothers again!"

Sasuke sighed, "I told you, Kaito is not your little brother."

Ryo shook his head. "Not Kaito-chan. Daddy-Kiba is having a baby."

Sasuke needed a moment to realise what Ryo just said and then whispered to himself, "Really? How did you…?"

"Daddy Kiba fell but Mummy-Sakura looked at him and then said something to Mister Shino who started crying and talking about a new baby."

"Aren't you happy Daddy?" Ryo asked innocently prompting Sasuke to scoop his son into his arms and spin him around saying "Of course I am. Our family is going to welcome a new addition."

"Can we go see him please?" Riku asked looking at Shikamaru expectantly.

"Alright. Let's go see him."

Ryo and Riku both nodded excitedly and pulled their fathers towards Sakura's office.

xXxXx

Kiba was laying in his bed wrapped in Shino's arms a look of pure bliss on his face which grew even more when Ryo and Riku came storming into the room and jumping on the couch.

Shino, being so overprotective like he was, gently held back the twins and said "You should be careful. You don't want to squish your little brother or sister do you?"

Ryo screeched in excitement and hugged his Daddy-Kiba saying "I love my new baby brother so very much."

"How do you know that? You might get a little sister instead."

Ryo thought for a moment then beamed and said, "I'll show Kaito how to be a great big brother."

Sasuke looked at Haku, who nervously bit his lip, and said "Can I talk to you outside please."

Haku nodded and once they were outside Sasuke took Haku's hand and asked, "Is something bothering you? What's wrong?"

Tears blossomed in Haku's eyes and he looked down to avoid eye contact, "I'm so confused. There are moments where I feel as though you want me in the family and then there are moments where I'm not too sure about that anymore."

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock.

He hadn't noticed what was going on in Haku's mind and felt ashamed that they hadn't spared Haku so much as a single thought when he made such an effort to get to know them.

"I'm so sorry we made you feel that way."

"It's alright. Really it is. I'm feeling much better now so I'll start packing my things. We'll be out of your hair before you know it."

Before Sasuke could reply Haku walked back inside Kiba's room to get his son, before making his way to his own room.

Sasuke felt really guilty and didn't realise where he was walking until he walked into the arms of Naruto who was on his way to Kiba's room.

"Hey. Is everything alright? You're usually more observant than this."

"I really messed up Naru." Sasuke whimpered, his lower lip trembling.

"What happened?" Naruto asked worry laced in his voice upon realising that Sasuke used his old nickname, which he only did when things were looking really rough for him.

"Haku felt confused at the thought of whether or not he truly belongs in our family and when I tried to explain things to him he said he would pack his things as well as Kaito's and leave." Sasuke said.

"Oh is that what all the fuss is all about? If so then there's nothing for you to worry about. Go and talk to Haku and tell him what you feel and I'll talk to the others. How does that sound to you?" Naruto asked looking into Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke nodded timidly and with a kiss on the forehead from Naruto he followed Haku to his room.

xXxXx

Haku was furiously wiping away his tears, when he felt someone in the room with him.

He turned around and saw Sasuke standing by Kaito, who was sleeping on the bed, and was softly stroking his cheek.

"You really don't have to explain yourself to me. I understand." Haku began but was cut off by Sasuke.

"No I do. I'm so sorry for giving you the wrong impression of us. It's just that so many things are happening at once and we haven't had the chance to process one thing before the next happened." Sasuke paused before continuing. "But that doesn't mean that these events were bad. They were the best things that could've ever happened to us. And all these amazing things started with you and Kaito. I've never seen Ryo this happy before. You can't leave, Kiba needs someone with experience to help him out during his pregnancy while the rest of us are at work and." he took a deep breath, "I want you to stay. I mean, if you want to."

Haku searched Sasuke's face for any signs that he was being dishonest but when he found not a single one, he turned to him and said "I guess I'm just so afraid of being with someone since the day Kaito was conceived. My father was the only one who was really there for me and who made me feel as though I had a meaning in this world."

"You have no reason to be afraid. We'd never think of hurting you or Kaito." Sasuke said pulling Haku into a hug which Haku gratefully accepted.

xXxXx

Naruto called for a family conference and once everyone sat in the living-room he addressed the important that plagued Sasuke and obviously Haku as well.

"I've called for this family meeting because Haku feels as though we don't want him and that's troubling Sasuke quite a bit. So I thought of talking about it with you and figure out how we can make Haku feel more included in our family. Any ideas?" Naruto asked looking at Sakura, Karin, Shikamaru, Kiba and Shino.

"Well. Haku hasn't met the rest of our family so how about we have a family picnic just for him and introduce everyone that he hasn't met yet. And while we're having the picnic let's get to know him and Kaito so he feels more comfortable around us." Kiba suggested.

Naruto thought about it and said "I like the idea. Does anyone disagree?"

When nobody said a thing Naruto smiled and said, "That's great. Let's have the picnic this Saturday."

A chorus of "Yes" and "Let's do this" rang through the room and with that the planning began.

"Sakura and Karin, I want you and Sai to prepare the food with the children. Sasuke, Shikamaru and I will look for the perfect location and Kiba I want you and Shino to sort out the music and let the rest of our family know what's going on."

Before Naruto could continue they all noticed Kiba's face turned slightly green before Shino grabbed his pregnant husband and rushed him to the bathroom.

Naruto chuckled, "In other news, Kiba's pregnant."

Cheers filled the air at that.

xXxXx

"This is weird," Kiba confessed as he rubbed the little bump he called his stomach. "I have a human being growing inside me. A completely dependant being that can't survive without me." he said in awe.

Shikamaru chuckled as he chopped some carrots for dinner. "I know that feeling. It's scary, isn't it?"

"Just a lot," Kiba chuckled as he began setting the table for the kids.

Hinata smiled, "I'm surprised that you're already showing. It's still a bit early."

"Is that bad?" Kiba asked, worried.

"Not at all. Quit scaring the poor guy," Sakura told them off. Kiba sent her a grateful smile.

"Where's the fun in that?" Hinata pouted.

"It's his first kid. Show some empathy."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "If I must."

Hinata turned to Kiba, "Maybe you're having more than one kid since you're showing already." she said.

"That's a possibility," Sakura allowed, thinking.

"More than one? I don't think I can handle two. I mean Shika and Gaara barely managed it and they're so much more mature than I am." Kiba looked at his feet.

"Who knows? Maybe you'll have triplets or quadruplets. Maybe even sextuplets. With your family background and Shino's family background it's entirely possible." Sakura added her helpful input.

Kiba paled visably. "You're not helping."

"Sorry." Sakura apologized.

They finished cooking dinner and setting the table. The kids were called and soon all nine of them were rushing downstairs to eat. Kiba sat next to Tsubasa to help him eat while Hinata watched over the rest of the kids to make sure they ate properly.

After the hassle of bathing and dressing and putting the kids to bed Kiba and Hinata made their way downstairs. Kiba collapsed on the couch and eyed the wine with a pout while Hinata went off to find her wives.

Sasuke, Haku and Kiba were the only ones left in the room.

"One of the downsides of pregnancy is that you get no alcohol," Sasuke said as he sipped on his own glass of red wine as he skimmed through some paperwork.

"But it's still early in the pregnancy." Kiba pointed out.

Haku just chuckled. "I can't drink yet either because I need to breastfeed. We can suffer together."

Kiba gave him a sour look, "Are you even old enough to drink? I miss alcohol already."

Sasuke smiled at that. "I never had that issue when I was pregnant with Sora. I had never drunk alcohol before so I never had a chance to miss it."

"Yeah, well I have and it sucks."

Gaara entered the room and patted Kiba's head. "Just think, nine months of morning sickness, strange cravings, gaining weight, feeling like a bloated fat whale, the inability to be independent, watching what you eat, not being able to drink, all that fun stuff that leads up to hours of excruciating pain that never seem to end. Then finally when you're tired enough you have to push a human out of a tiny hole of your body. And if you're lucky like me you get to push two whole humans out of you. And trust me when I say the second one doesn't hurt any less. After that you get about six months of sleepless nights and no sex."

"You're not helping." Kiba told him.

"What was the point of that speech?" Haku asked. He turned to Kiba, "It's worth it though. Think about the baby you're bringing into the world. That baby will become your whole world and it's wonderful."

"Besides, Gaara is overexaggerating. It's not that bad," Sasuke said. "Plus you have us to help you through the whole thing."

Kiba scowled, "You can't talk. You had never had alcohol when you were pregnant. Plus Sora was a tiny baby and he was two weeks early so he wasn't that big. And it was only one and in the pictures you and Naruto showed us, you weren't even that big. As long as you wore baggy sweatshirts nobody could tell you were pregnant. You probably didn't even gain that much weight." he accused.

Sasuke just shrugged and looked away, "What's your point. It's not my fault that Uchiha babies and Uzumaki babies are small. And no I didn't. I have a fast metabolism and all the weight I did gain I lost within a couple of months after having Sora. Besides, Sora began sleeping through the night by the time he was three and a half months old."

Gaara whacked Sasuke on the back of the head. "Stop rubbing it in."

Sasuke just shrugged and returned to his wine and work.

"So Sasuke, have you ever thought of having more kids?" Haku asked after a while to break the silence.

The raven froze, shocked, for a moment. He sipped at his wine again and hesitated.

"Actually I have."

This answer shocked the room's three other occupants.

"Really? Since when?" Kiba asked, stunned.

"I don't know when it started but I figured it out a couple hours ago. I was going to talk to Naruto about it but I never got the chance." Sasuke confessed, draining the rest of his wine in one go.

"Because I got pregnant." Kiba realized.

Sasuke nodded mutely.

Kiba grinned, "That's great. If you get pregnant then our kids can grow up together."

Gaara frowned. "What's wrong Sasuke? You don't seem so excited about this."

Sasuke poured himself another drink and took a large sip. He thought for a second.

"I don't know anymore."

"What do you mean?" Haku asked, confused.

Sasuke took a deep breath. "I don't know."

Gaara sat next to Sasuke and took the wine glass from him. "You can trust us. We could help you."

Sasuke hesitated and quickly glanced at Haku and Kiba sadly.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Whatever I thought is gone now."

"Why?" Kiba asked.

"Because it doesn't matter what I want anymore. At least not right now. It's not a good time." Sasuke reached for his wine and drained the glass again.

Gaara sighed and took the wine bottle so Sasuke couldn't refill his glass. "Talk to us. Why isn't it a good time? You know we will be excited about another baby. And I think you really want this."

Sasuke just frowned and put a hand over his stomach. "I do want this. But I can't."

Gaara frowned at that. He turned to Haku and Kiba. "Do you mind giving us a minute?"

Haku and Kiba nodded and got up to check on the rest of the men.

Gaara turned to Sasuke. "Now speak."

"It's just. With Haku and Shino joining the family and Kaito and Kiba's litter of who knows how many. Me wanting to have a baby right now it just not that important."

Gaara frowned, "Why would you think that?"

"We're all so focused on our careers. Kaito and all the other kids are a handful as they are. Add on the stress of Kiba's newborn or newborns, it's just too much. I just- I don't know." he sounded pitiful enough that Gaara gave him his wine back. He grabbed himself a glass too.

He understood where Sasuke was coming from and Sasuke's wine idea didn't sound half bad.

Sasuke sighed. "Sora's growing up."

"He's still a child." Gaara told him.

Sasuke blinked at that. "I know. It's just the other day he bathed on his own, he got dressed and ready for school on his own. He even helped make his own lunch and tie his own shoes and make plans with his friends all by himself. He doesn't cling to me as much anymore and I just wasn't prepared for him to be this independent. Riku and Ryo don't cling to me anymore either. They just want Shikamaru since he gave birth to them."

Gaara smiled. "That's a good thing. He's learning to be his own person. But he still needs you even if it's less than before. As for Riku and Ryo, they need you too. Even if it's not all the time they rely on you to an extent."

Sasuke numbly put his wine down.

"I remember when it was just Naruto, Sora and me. Sora would always perk up whenever he saw me or Naruto. And Naruto was my best friend who I could tell everything. And now I can't even think about telling him what I'm going through because I don't know what he'll think anymore. I know he'll say okay and be supportive because that's just the kind of person he is but…"

Gaara put his wine down and gave Sasuke his full attention.

Sasuke met Gaara's eyes. "It's like I don't know him anymore. And that scares me because for so many years of my life he was the only person I could trust. We told each other everything and I couldn't imagine my life without him. And now we can spend an entire day without talking to each other or thinking about each other. Do you know what I mean?"

"Are you jealous?" Gaara asked. "Of me and Sai and everyone close to him?"

Sasuke shook his head. "It's not that. It's not even about Naruto or Sora or any other baby I may have. I just feel like everything and everyone is moving so fast and I'm not keeping up. I'm afraid that one day I'll wake up and not even recognize myself anymore. It's stupid and it doesn't make sense but it's just what I feel."

"Sasuke, you are the foundation of our family. Without you none of what we have today would be possible. Sai would still be on the streets because no one would have taken him in after the accident, Haku would still be a single parent confused and afraid. Shikamaru would have never reached his full potential and who knows where Naruto would be. If you ever feel like you don't recognize yourself or you feel alone just remember that you're not. And back to the first topic, I personally think you having another baby would be great. It will help relax Kiba so he isn't as scared. It will give you time to spend with Sora, Riku and Ryo and you can help Haku with Kaito. Something he needs too. It can help you reconnect with Naruto and fulfill your desire for another child. It's the perfect time."

Sasuke didn't say anything.

Gaara offered him a smile. "You should talk to Naruto as soon as you're sober."

Sasuke sighed and gave Gaara a half smile. "Thanks."

Gaara chuckled and helped Sasuke to his feet. "Let's get you to bed."

xXxXx

Sorry about not posting in awhile. I feel bad… It's all my fault.
