The Morning of...

Naruto awoke next to the heat of his mate and the slow steady beat of his heart. Naruto felt the tips of his finger brushing over his tummy, which made it hard for him not to squirm underneath.

The pools of darkness met Naruto's gaze and it created a warmth spreading from his face downward. He watched as Sasuke placed an arm on his side and pushed himself upward until he was hovering over the blonde.

Looking down at the blonde, he said, "All I can think of is the flavor you have. I miss the warmth of those thighs.". His hand rubbed it's way up his outer thigh.

"The thought of you with someone else... I can't." Biting his lower lip, Sasuke stared at Naruto with a hunger that drew the blonde to him.

They were one, and Sasuke moved to capture the blonde's mouth with abandon; he was trapped in a web he didn't want to be free. He would do anything for his family, even kill.

A spot of the sun was visible on Naruto's collarbone as Sasuke turned his head. When he reached out to kiss the exposed area, the blonde stirred as a moist trail ran up his neck and under his chin, causing him to stir. He was so beautiful, it made sense when he moved closer to kiss the exposed area. He could feel the blonde swallow.

"Sasuke..."

"Shh..." The heat rose and devoured them whole. He softly kissed each knuckle of that beige the hand holding his own as their fingers entwined.

The blonde lips were parted ever so slightly in a gentle inviting way as the raven capture it. Having Naruto as a companion was like having nicotine for Sasuke, and his blonde-haired Kitsune returned the kiss in kind.

After a brief break in their kiss, they removed their clothes and resumed their eager lip lock as if the other was afraid they would disappear.

Naruto straddled him, pushing him onto his back, causing his ex-wanting nothing more to cock his brow at him.

"You sure you can handle it?" Sasuke said in a smug yet teasing way.

"I should say the same to you?" In response, to the raven's smugness, Naruto returned it. So licking his palm, he grabbed the raven by his shaft and inserted it inside that flush ring. This resulted in the blonde making a sharp nose as he had to adjust to the size.

"You sure you can handle it?" His hands slid up the blonde's beige thighs sliding underneath his cheeks.

Naruto moved down until he had the whole 8 and a half inches inside of him, intuitively he arched his back his head tilting to the ceiling as he rode him, and if he didn't slow down...

Abruptly, Sasuke sat up meeting him and embracing him as he met his rhythm. Their eyes met as the blonde smiled at him. He was enjoying it if they didn't quiet down, they would surely wake his entire family home. His face was cupped as Naruto pressed the crown of his forehead.

"I love you. I've always loved you and I will always love you." When their eyes met, he saw the sun shining off Naruto's shoulder giving him a golden hue.

"You promise?" It was the first to see him so vulnerable.

"Mm, yes."

A sun-kissed hand was placed on the center of that muscular chest as Naruto steading himself.

"Harder." As Sasuke's upward thrust intensified, his eyes were shut tight. He was so beautiful with a golden heart. How did he become so lucky?

"Harder!" Naruto wanted them to be one. The pain was unbearable and all he could do was clench his teeth and fight against the tears. Why did he feel like a broken record playing the same song over and over again?

What was going to happen to them? The blonde was wearing his emotions tearing him apart, but he was too close he didn't want to ruin it not now.

Surprisingly, the baby bump between them did not cause an issue. He licked and sucked on the sun-kissed chest as Sasuke wrapped his arms around the blonde's back and squeezed them closer. As Naruto's moans grew, they were definitely going to get caught.

They reached the utopia together, but his partner fell into a crying heap on top of him.

Sasuke said through deep breaths, "don't worry I will make this right."

"Oh, oh! Ow ow ow. What the hell was that!?"

"You, okay?"

"No, somethings wrong." His body was rocked with pain, it was like his pelvis was squeezing so hard at it would break. Naruto had removed himself from on top of Sasuke.

He quickly wrapped Naruto in the sheets having only enough time to slip his pants on as he lifted Naruto up bridal style. They didn't care if they were seen as he exited his room not and left his home in a sprint heading to Konoha's infirmary where burst through the door giving Shizune a start for her life, early in the morning.

"What happened," he could hear the panic in her voice, as she stood from her desk. As Naruto cried out again.

"I don't know." The raven-haired prodigy answered honestly.

"Place him on the bench over there." Gently, Sasuke's sat Naruto down not before giving him a worried glance before stepping aside. Shizune moved to the bench crouching until she was in front of him.

"Naruto, I need you to answer a couple of questions for me, can you do that?"

His teeth were clenched, and his eyes were still shut but he managed to nod.

"Okay, has your pain been consistent or is it coming in waves each time the pain tensing and coming and lasting a minute or two?"

He nodded again, but this time his body relaxed. She noticed this.

"Are you in pain now?"

"No." He sighed as he got a small break between contractions.

"I'm going to need you to tell me when you start feeling discomfort." He did just that as another wave hit him, crippling him in pain. She documented that before another tightness rocked his body; she only counted 45 seconds apart.

"Okay, so it appears to me you are having contractions..."

"Whaaa... Son of a bitch!" This one lasts longer.

At this point, Sasuke chimed in. "What do you need?"

"I'm going to have to operate, giving he doesn't have the right equipment to give birth."

"Operate?"

"He's going to have to have a cesarean."

"I thought we still had time."

"It's up to the babies, not him." And with that said she briskly stormed behind the double doors in the back. Most like preparing herself and the staff for the C-section in the back. When he looked over at Naruto he was rocking back and forth as a way to self-soothe.

"Why whenever you touch me something crazy always seems to happen?" He lifted his head giving him a strained smile.

The raven shook his head with a chuckle as he ran both hands down his face. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Naruto completely naked underneath that sheet, even though it was quite amusing. He was still worried about Naruto. They were about to be parents.

There was no going back now as he waited with Naruto for what seemed like an hour. He was sure his mother would realize he was going by now. Just then, Shizune came with a medical bed with some staff they were dressed in scrubs.

"It's time." She said. They helped him into the medical bed lifting and locking the arm for the bed so he would not fall that would be all bad.

Sasuke stood when they started to wheel him to the back. "Wait what about Sasuke? I don't wanna go without him!" He cried out reaching for the raven.

"I don't wanna be alone!"

"It's okay we will come to get you when it's time. He's in good hands."

A Week Later

A sense of DeJa'Vu as he stood at the altar, he was here before waiting for his first wife before he knew who his bride was.

Sakura sucked in a deep breath as she marched through the village streets. She noticed the smiling village girls, probably imagining themselves were her place. During the preparations for her big day, her eyes were downcast. This was the day she should be happy about, but instead, all she felt was anxiety.

"That's the one the younger Uchiha knocked up." She heard one villager say.

Rather than drag her feet, Sakura picked up speed instead of dragging her feet as another remarked, "She's not that pretty.". Her face now looked more like that of a bride eager for her wedding.

The trail of her wedding was long and covered with white roses on the trim. This was the day she dreamt of and Sasuke's abrupt change of heart helped her complete the next step she had been in love with him since childhood. He could learn to love her, right?

Naruto awoke to his mate whispering to his belly. "I need you to stop giving Naru' a hard time alright? I already did that." He whispered.

The melody resonated in his ears. He wanted to go back and experience it again for the first time when they were still able to understand it fully.

The rhythm followed the speed of his beating heart as he recalled the memories; each moment felt like a precious gift that was taken away from them too soon.

The memories of the festival ran through his mind. At that point, something surprising happened. Naruto was genuine; he never hid who he was, not for a moment.

He was young, wild, and free, with no reservations about what or who he liked.

At the time, Sasuke went through an identity crisis, allowing himself to be manipulated by Orochimaru, it did not help that Sasuke's parents doted on his older brother since birth.

Sasuke always looked up to Itachi and followed in his footsteps forever his shadow, so when he was offered power and the chance to make a name for himself, Sasuke jumped at the opportunity without hesitation.

He did this even though many people saw him as someone who didn't deserve redemption because of what he'd done to survive.

Naruto never stopped caring for Sasuke, even though he was always trying to find a way to get Sasuke to come back home. Eventually, he and team 7 won that battle, and Sasuke physically, mentally, and emotionally abused the blonde and then ignored him in retaliation.

During his desertion, his family was put under great stress as they worked tirelessly to convince the village elders and the Hokage to forgive his war crimes, but it wasn't the end of the world when he reached a certain age and there was no prospect of his brother fulfilling the role of heir. If he didn't marry soon, they threatened to disown him.

She crossed the threshold in a similarly slow fashion to Naruto. He himself visibly exhaled at the sight of her. She wore layer upon layer in that wedding dress, looking like a damned ghost in an oversized bed sheet.

Once she was standing by his side, in unison, they faced Rin as she cleared her throat. The brunette gave her long boring speech about families and some other dribble.

They faced one another, it was strange staring at a veil. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see his father and brother both arms crossed and stoned-faced and his mother wiping away her tears with a handkerchief that had their family crest on it. He realized that he did not want to be a part of this family anymore.

Now was the time he was going to say how he really felt in front of everybody.

For a moment, he had lifted the veil and seen what lay beneath, an initial shock that caused him to drop it quickly, but which now made everything feel even more bizarre. He lifted the veil again was he seeing this right?

A Week Prior

He was supposed to stay awake the entire time! They had numbed him from just above his navel on down. His arms were spread out as they wheeled him to the operation room. There was a sheet so he could see what was going on down there.

/Jiichan.../ He did not get an answer, being in his head was driving him crazy. He could see his vitals and his heart rate rising.

"Okay, so far so good... the next thing you're gonna feel is a lot of tugging but don't be alarmed." True to her words that is exactly what he felt.

/Jiichan?/ There was still no answer. /Gawds! Answer me you stupid old fox!/

/Please.../

As he felt the world crashing in on him. He saw a familiar face appear in his line of sight and he felt his eyes water. The top of his head was stroked by a hand. As his nostrils were filling with lavender and oakmoss sending a wave of relief to calm his nerves.

His mate was there now he was wearing similar scrubs and a face mask. Just then he heard the first baby cry then a few minutes later they heard another and then another.

"Hey, papa wanna come cut the chord." He could see the raven on the other side of the navy green curtain give him a mock shock look before moving to another part of it. Naruto heard them gushing at the baby's full heads of raven hair.

They swaddled the babies in gray moving the triplets close to Naruto's face and pressing each one of those tiny whisker cheeks to his own whisker one. If he had been able to move his arms freely, he would have touched them.

He wished he could hold them and keep them safe. Taking the babies to the nursery caused him a lot of pain, and he sulked when they rolled all three of them away.

"I want them back." He whimpered.

Sasuke chuckled at that, "We're going to see them again Naru'," if the staff knew what was good for them.

They moved Naruto to the recovery room where he could rest. That's when Shizune approached Sasuke.

"You can slip out unnoticed through the back way." She whispered he was still in the scrubs it started this morning and it was late at night.

"I won't leave him."

"Look if you get caught here you're going to have even bigger problems afoot. You were here for the birth take that into consideration, but if get caught here..." He knew what she was implying.

He sighed walking over to the bed by this time Naruto had passed out. In his reluctance, he gave Naruto a peck on the top of his head before leaving.
