The Agreement

Wow, quite a few of you guessed what Sasuke was going to do in the next couple of chapters! Give yourselves a pat on the back. I hope this story's not too predictable. Maybe I need to go and rewrite a few more things. I considered changing the beginning of this chapter because Kang on AdultFanfiction dot Net guessed it. But I liked the beginning, so I kept it.

Just as a reminder: this story is updated every Tuesday and Saturday. Chapter 10 was only updated early Wednesday morning because I was having some difficulties with Microsoft Word – and then got sidetracked with reading someone else’s fanfic. :-) This story is prewritten, just not edited fully. I edit each chapter the day I post it.

The Agreement

Chapter 11: Father to Be


"Wake up," Sasuke said, shaking Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto looked about him, clearly dazed and confused, just as Sasuke had planned it. He looked down at his friend who was laid out by a tree, as though he'd been sleeping for a while.

"Wha-wha...?" Naruto said, looking about him, his face flushing. "What's going on?" Naruto asked, looking at Sasuke before abruptly turning away from him, his face a bright red. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, curious. On his way back from training, Sasuke had added another "illusion" for Naruto to get lost in – an edited version of their lovemaking. Unfortunately for Sasuke, Naruto had been limp and lifeless in his arms as Sasuke carried him back to the training field, and Sasuke hadn't know how his husband was reacting to the memories he’d edited (slightly) and then turned into illusions.

Sasuke had thought long and hard about everything as he had cleaned Naruto and himself up. Today had been special for Sasuke in a lot of ways. He'd made love to Naruto for the first time – but it was also the same day that Sasuke took Naruto's sperm; the first step in building Naruto a family, making him a father. Sasuke thought it was only fitting that his beloved husband to have some sort of memory of their first time together, something to remember the day that Naruto helped to "conceive" his future children. Of course Sasuke also wanted to see how Naruto reacted to the idea – the "memory" – of them together. Making it seem like Naruto had dreamt everything up would just make it easier for the both of them for the time being. Sasuke would clear his conscious after he made sure to give Naruto a family.

"What happened?" Naruto asked, looking around blearily.

"After you caught me from the tree – which was unnecessary as I would have been fine – you slipped, but not before banging your head pretty hard before I caught you," Sasuke said, telling half-truths. "Your head seemed fine, and I thought you would wake up. I trained for a while, waiting for you to come back to consciousness. You must have fallen asleep after a while though. It sounded like you were dreaming," Sasuke said.

"D-dreaming?" Naruto asked, hesitantly as he stood up.

"Yes, but you started saying my name at the end, so I decided to wake you up," Sasuke lied, watching Naruto's face as he blushed slightly.

"I said your name?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah," Sasuke paused, before asking a question he already knew the answer to. "What were you dreaming?"

"I-I don't remember." It was Naruto's turn to lie. Sasuke knew that Naruto remembered, but just wasn't willing to tell him, especially since his face was a brilliant shade of scarlet now. Sasuke got closer to Naruto, his face inches from Naruto's.

"Are you okay? Your face looks flushed," Sasuke murmured. Naruto locked eyes with his, and Naruto's face returned to its normal color, his eyes fixated on Sasuke's eyes before darting down to look at his mouth. He licked his lips while looking at Sasuke’s mouth, and his eyes darkened as his body seemed to relax. Sasuke's breath hitched as Naruto leaned forward, their lips only centimeters apart.

Naruto looked into Sasuke’s eyes, and Sasuke felt paralyzed, as though caught in a trance. Slowly Naruto moved forward even more. Suddenly, as the tips of their noses brushed each other, Naruto moved.

"I'm fine," Naruto muttered, suddenly pulling back from Sasuke, turning his face to the side, a blush on his cheeks. Sasuke took a step back, not sure if he would be able to control himself being so close to Naruto. Had Naruto just leaned forward as though to kiss him before deciding against it? Was Sasuke's mind playing tricks on him? Was he seeing want he wanted to see?

"Want to train some more?" Sasuke asked, his heart beating fast, wondering if he should pretend that that hadn’t just happened. Naruto shook his head.

"It looks like I was out of it for a while. I'm supposed to meet Sakura for ramen," Naruto said, his voice quiet, and unnaturally pensive for the loudmouth ninja. He almost sounded regretful that he had to leave, regretful to leave for ramen no less.

"Another time?" Sasuke asked. Naruto's eyes darted back to Sasuke, smiling widely. Suddenly Naruto's body language changed, his goofy demeanor kicking in to cover his nervousness.

"You bet! I'm gonna kick your ass so bad, you won't be able to sit for a week!" Naruto said, before beginning to walk. Naruto stopped suddenly, his back stiffening, his hands going to clutch at his behind. Sasuke quickly turned his head away so as to pretend he hadn't just seen that, feeling a sadistic urge to laugh as Naruto felt the aftermaths of Sasuke taking the last part of Naruto's virginity.

But then he closed his eyes, feeling stricken with what a complete jackass he was to have forced that upon Naruto.

What the hell had he been thinking? Oh wait. He hadn’t been. Not really anyway.

"Oi, Sasuke!" Naruto called. Sasuke turned around to look at his friend. Naruto grinned widely at him. "It was good training with you today. We haven't spent as much time together 'cuz of our women. Don't be a stranger, ok?" Naruto said, grinning widely. Sasuke couldn't help a small smile before he nodded once. Naruto waved a hand at him before heading off to meet Sakura.

Sasuke stood rooted to the spot, his heart racing. What had just happened between him and Naruto? Was Naruto so affected by his “dream” that he’d been curious? Had Naruto been giving him a chance to kiss him? Did Naruto want to kiss him? Sasuke shook his head. Whatever had just happened, he felt that he didn’t deserve the chance. Not yet, not after what he’d done.

Once he gave Naruto his family, then he would pursue Naruto. Once Sasuke had something to offer Naruto, then things would change.

"I'm going to put you into a genjutsu so you’re more relazed," Sasuke said to Hinata. Hinata nodded, her hands clasped in front of her. Sasuke saw the clasped hands and told her to relax. He activated his sharingan and put Hinata in a gentle genjutsu where she and Naruto were cuddling. He had a feeling that Hinata's fantasies of Naruto were far different than his own and was pretty sure that hers were not quite as X rated as his. That and he was selfish and didn’t really want to share Naruto unless he was there too, even if it was a mere illusion.

Hinata relaxed, her hands loosening as she lost herself in Sasuke's genjutsu.

Sasuke looked at Hinata who rested on their large bed. Her purple tank top was rolled up, and her shorts were rolled down so that her stomach was exposed, but still managed to keep her privates covered. Sasuke wouldn't have cared either way, but Hinata was beyond shy. He wanted her to be as comfortable as possible so her body wouldn’t reject the intrusion of fertilized eggs.

Sighing, he looked at the tools and instruments he'd prepared in order to insert the fertilized eggs into Hinata. Three were Hinata's eggs with Naruto's sperm injected into them. There were Sasuke's mutated sperm-turned eggs likewise with Naruto's sperm in them. Kabuto's technique seemed to work. At least, Naruto's sperm seemed to have taken to the eggs Sasuke had created.

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke looked at the container that held the fertilized eggs. While Sasuke had considered the age old fashioned way of trying to insert the eggs through Hinata's vaginal opening, he'd had a feeling that Hinata might not be so comfortable with him injecting a soft syringe with a mix of fluid and eggs. He decided that he would put the eggs in the same way he'd taken them out via chakra bubbles.

While he was no great medical genius, Sasuke had studied up on how to remove eggs – and reinsert them – via chakra bubbles. He'd heard Naruto tell stories of how Sakura had saved Kankurou's life by using chakra bubbles to extract poison from his body, and he'd wished that he'd been there to see how she had done it. Even so, Sasuke had already managed to use the concept fairly effectively to extract Hinata's eggs. The trickier part would be placing the eggs back inside of Hinata in a spot that would give the embryos the most potential to attach to the lining of her uterus and not pass through her system.

There was the possibility that all of the embryos would take, or that none of the eggs would take. There was also the possibility that some would or wouldn't take. Sasuke scowled, trying not to think of what would happen if Hinata only got pregnant with hers and Naruto's children. He shook his head. They still had vials of Naruto's sperm, and they could always try again for more children.

Hadn’t Sasuke also decided that he would think of Naruto first? The children would be Naruto’s children. Hadn’t Sasuke been upset when Sakura seemed not to put Naruto first? Sasuke was being a hypocrite. Naruto came first. Sasuke knew better.

Bringing his mind back to the task at hand, he gently engulfed one of the six embryos in a small chakra bubble. Concentrating chakra to his fingers and then pressing lightly on Hinata's abdomen with his other hand, he felt around for the slight tenderness his chakra ought to detect from a fertile woman's womb. He'd done this earlier before he'd left to collect Naruto's sperm to make sure Hinata’s womb was prepared. He bit his lip in frustration, wondering why he didn't feel the same-

Ah. There. Sasuke moved his hands deftly and delicately, inserting the first of the six eggs. One by one he repeated the process until all six potential babies were nestled safely in Hinata's womb. He cleaned up his utensils before releasing Hinata's genjutsu.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she gave the biggest smile Sasuke had ever seen on her face as she reached down to her stomach. Sasuke gave a half smile, a part of him once again feeling jealous that he couldn't give Naruto children all on his own.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Sasuke knew he really shouldn't be feeling so gleeful as he watched Sakura's reaction as she seemed slightly jealous, but he couldn't help it. Her reaction told him everything that he’d been dreaming for had truly begun to come to life.

A month and a half had passed since Sasuke had implanted the eggs into Hinata's stomach. At that point they had decided to go to the hospital to get Hinata checked up. They had already done a home pregnancy test – well, Hinata had – and it had stated that she was pregnant within two weeks after Sasuke's performed his procedure. To make it official they had decided to go to Konoha hospital to make sure that Hinata was truly pregnant via a chakra test.

Sakura had seen the two of them enter and had been concerned. She had insisted on taking care of Hinata as they were friend, but Sasuke had noted that Hinata had seemed to want someone else, clearly feeling guilty that she was carrying Naruto's offspring. Hinata had mumbled something about being too busy, but Sakura, smiling kindly, said she wasn’t too busy for friends.

"You're pregnant," Sakura said, her expression was one of shock. "With quadruplets," Sakura said, seemingly shocked.

Sasuke, on the other hand, was elated. Four children! That meant that at least one of his and Naruto's children had settled well. Hinata smiled widely, looking up at Sasuke. He smiled down at her, completely grateful. Sakura looked at the exchange, the jealousy quickly replaced by a wide smile. Sasuke decided not to dwell on Sakura’s jealousy. It could have been she was jealous that Hinata could have children while she could not. Sasuke tried to not think she was jealous since Sakura seemed to have assumed that Sasuke had turned her down since she couldn’t have children. He’d promised himself he would make Naruto love him another way; always making Sakura the bad guy when she probably wasn’t was not fair to anyone.

"This will be a high risk pregnancy," Sakura said, her voice very serious, and both Sasuke and Hinata turned to look at her. "It is very unusual for a woman to get pregnant naturally with quadruplets, and especially a woman at your age. Usually multiple ovulations of more than two eggs don't start until later in life," Sakura said, looking curious.

"I understand," Hinata said, her hands closing over her stomach protectively. Sasuke and Hinata had had a long conversation about the number of eggs that Sasuke would plant into Hinata's stomach. In the end, Hinata had been the one to decide. She wanted as many of Naruto's children as quickly as possible. It had surprised Sasuke a little bit, but Sasuke had agreed readily; who was he to deny Naruto a large family? Not to mention the fact that he wanted to have a large family himself. Not to replace the one he lost, but to make a better one.

They had decided on six because there was a great possibility that a single egg would not take. In fact, it was possible that none of the six would take.

"I'll make sure to take care of her and our little ones," Sasuke said, his voice soft, a genuine smile on his face.

He was going to be a father. He took a deep breath in and out, feeling wonderful. He was going to have a family again. While he had known Hinata was pregnant (the home pregnancy test had shown that after all) to know for sure that he would be able to share a child with Naruto was mind-boggling. They would both get to be fathers.

The rest of the check-up went in a blur for Sasuke. He was only half paying attention, making sure that Sakura said that Hinata and the babies were healthy. Sasuke was still half in a daze as he and Hinata returned to the Hyuuga complex.

"I hear congratulations are in order," Neji said, greeting them at the front gate. Sasuke raised his eyebrow. Neji seemed indifferent about the situation, but that didn’t bother Sasuke.

"News travels fast," Sasuke said, unable to hide his self-satisfied smirk from spreading across his face. Hinata's faced flushed, obviously pleased with herself.

"Are you feeling well Hinata-sama?" Neji asked, true concern clear in his voice. Hinata nodded. Sasuke grasped Hinata's hand gently, leading her away from Neji. As they went beyond the front gate Sasuke saw Hiashi standing in the doorway to the Main Family's main entrance. Sasuke wondered how offended Hinata would be if he steered her past her father directly to their own segment of the Main House.

"You're carrying my grandchildren," Hiashi stated as they got closer. Hinata nodded. Sasuke wondered how word had traveled so fast.

His curiosity intensified as a blur of blond hair and black and orange appeared from behind Hiashi and had picked Hinata up swirling her around.

"Hinata's gonna have babies!" Naruto yelled as he swung her around in the air. Hiashi and Neji looked surprised at how Naruto was swinging Hinata around in the air, as though it might cause her or the unborn babies harm. Sasuke couldn't help but look even more gleeful, and Hinata giggled and blushed as Naruto set her back down on her feet. How did Naruto know, and why was he here? (Not that Sasuke was upset, but he’d wanted to be the one to tell Naruto.)

Next thing Sasuke knew, he had to steady himself as Naruto clapped him hard on the back.

"Sasuke, man! I knew you had it in you! You got her knocked up quick with four little Sasukes!" Naruto said, simply bounding around. A part of him itched to tell Naruto they were his, but he didn't think now was the best time, especially with Neji and Hiashi around.

"How did you find out?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"I went to visit Sakura at the hospital like I usually do for her lunch break when we’re not out on missions, and she told me! I must have just missed you guys. I ran here super fast to see you," Naruto said, before turning to look at Neji and then Hiashi. "I er, I guess I should have let you tell them, but I sorta came in asking where the lovely pregnant lady was, and they made me explain," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Asking? He was bellowing at the top of his lungs," Hiashi said. Naruto laughed nervously.

"It seems you’re very interested in Hinata having children," Neji noted, looking at Naruto curiously. Sasuke could practically see Neji’s train of thought, looking almost hopeful as though Naruto had a right to be happy. Sasuke knew that Naruto did, but he knew that Naruto didn’t know. Funny how Neji seemed to clearly want Naruto to have a reason to be happy about Hinata’s pregnancy.

"It’s just so cool. I’ve never known anyone close to me that’s been pregnant before," Naruto explained happily.

"I think I'm going to go lie down," Hinata said quietly. Naruto whipped his head around to look at Hinata.

"Awww, but I wanted to celebrate or something!" Naruto said, his face set in a pout. Sasuke couldn't help but feel elated. Naruto was extremely happy for them, for the children – for his children.

"We'll have t-time later," Hinata said, looking from Naruto. Sasuke caught her quickly look between Naruto and her father. Sasuke watched Hiashi. Looking closer, he did seem to look pleased at the idea of being a grandfather, but it was clear that Hiashi wanted to talk to Hinata. Sasuke wondered if "lie down" really meant "speak to my father."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Sasuke asked, once again gently holding Hinata's wrist. She smiled at him before shaking her head.

"I'll b-be fine," she said. "Why don't you and Naruto go celebrate?" Hinata suggested.

"Yeah! I'll take care of Mr. Father To Be. I'll give him some good tips. Don't you worry Hinata! I’ll make sure he’ll be a good Dad," Naruto said as he slung his arm over Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke's body stiffened ever so slightly. The two of them had hardly seen each other recently except on missions, and Sasuke's body was responding to Naruto's close proximity. The last time they'd really spent much time together had been when he'd taken Naruto's sperm. "Wanna come Neji?" Naruto asked, letting go of Sasuke before grinning at Neji. Sasuke frowned at the loss of Naruto’s nice, warm body pressed close to his. Neji turned to Sasuke.

"I will pass," Neji said. He nodded to Naruto before walking around the Main House to the Branch House. Naruto watched him go before turning toward the doorway, only to see that Hiashi had disappeared, Hinata as well.

"Their loss! Let's go!" Naruto said, excited. Sasuke smirked wider.

"Where are we going to celebrate, dobe?" Sasuke asked.

"Bastard," Naruto said in retaliation to Sasuke's insult, "Out drinking! You're gonna be a father, you go to a bar and get hammered! Even I know that," Naruto said, his arm once again draping around Sasuke's shoulder. Somehow Sasuke thought that wasn't quite the case, but decided not to pass up a chance to watch Naruto get drunk. He knew Naruto didn’t drink often as he seemed rather disgusted with how his old sensei Jiraiya used to act when drunk. Most ninja knew better than to go drinking. Being inebriated meant that it could affect their ninja duties if they were suddenly called for a mission. It also meant enemies could attack them and have a great advantage over them.

Still, Sasuke recalled a time before Sakura had accepted Naruto's proposal where Naruto got extremely plastered. Ah...sweet memories. The last time Naruto had gotten really touchy feely when he was drunk. Sasuke wasn't about to pass that up. He figured it was acceptable if he let Naruto molest him.

"Hn. Let's go," Sasuke said, slinging his arm around Naruto's as well. Naruto looked slightly surprised at Sasuke's willingness to not only drink but that he had slung his arm over his own as well. Naruto grinned wide and genuine, and for once Sasuke's own grin matched Naruto's.


Next Chapter: Babies!


Sasuke’s trying to be good, even if he’s not really all that great at it. He’s just a little bit messed up – as anyone who’s seen the latest Naruto manga has seen. Okay, so he’s a lot messed up. Poor Sasuke. Poor Naruto.
