Chapter 13


Norm pov-

"Naruto, please come down here, we need to talk!" Sasuke called up to his
husband.


Naruto, who was sitting on a branch in one of the many trees' that surrounded the area ignored Sasuke, upset at the response he had gotten at
the discovery of their unborn child.


"Please Naruto; come down here so we can talk about this rationally. I'm
sorry I reacted the way I did, I never thought that this was possible. I'm
so excited that we will be able to do this, to have a real family. I know
that's been one of your biggest fears with getting together with me.
Please come down here?"


Slowly Naruto descended the tree, landing softly next to Sasuke on the
ground.


"I love you Suke, you scared me that you wouldn't want it. That you were to
set in your ways to add this to the mix of our crazy lives." Naruto said
softly.


"I was in shock, yes, but I love the idea of having a family with you. I would
love to have a house full of children if it were possible and you wanted it.
I just never thought it tangible so I tried never to think on it. I'm sorry
I worried you so." Sasuke said just as softly as he wrapped his arms around
his husband's waist.


Burying his face in the crook of Naruto's neck he inhaled deeply the sent of
the forest he loved so much.


"Can we go home Suke? I'm feeling rather tired suddenly." Naruto said as his
eye's began to roll back in his head, his body slipping to the ground soon after.


"Naruto!" Sasuke called as he held Naruto closer before picking him up and
heading back to the Hokage tower.

Naruto pov-


I had awoken to find myself lying on an exam table. I have no idea how I
got here other than Suke must have brought me.


"Naruto, I see you have finally decided to wake up. You've had Sasuke in a
state of panic for some time there. I've now had the both of you pass out
today and put upon my table."


"Where's Suke?" I ask sitting up.


"In the other room, pacing. I wasn't getting any work done with him in here
pestering me on and on about when you would wake. Please go tell him that
you have now regained consciousness please, so that the others in this tower
may continue there day of work before going home." she said, shuffling some
papers on her desk.


"Baa-chan, what happened? Why did I wake up here? The last thing I remember
is telling Suke I wanted to go home!" I asked, looking over at her.


"You passed out shortly after saying that. Its nothing we don't see everyday
with pregnancies. Its normal for some to become dizzy and light headed, thus
resulting in passing out like you did."


"But I wasn't any of those things. I was tired and wasn't feeling well due to
the stress, yes, but never in my life have I reacted in this way."


"Everyone's body will react differently in situations. You of all people
should know this. Your body reacted the way it did due to the stress and the
sudden movement you had done to reach the ground. Thus, it was a normal
reaction. Go see to your husband, go home, have a good meal and get some
rest. That is an order Naruto!"


"Hai," I answered with a quick nod of my head.


I left the Hokage office to be immediately ensconced in large familiar arms.
Sighing, I buried my head into the firm chest and breathed deep his scent.
Sighing again I let it wash over me and release most of the tension that had
built up.


"Oh my god, she kicked me out, she wouldn't let me stay by your side 'til
you woke. I was so angry and no one would tell me anything… Are you okay?
She said you would be, that it's natural, but like anything with you is natural. I
don't know. I'm sorry love."

"Whoa, Suke, slow down. Calm down for that matter. I'm okay. This happens
to some pregnant women all the time, I just have to take it easy now that we
know I'm pregnant. Its fine." I said, looking up into his eye's, trying to pass
along some of my peace to him.

"Your fine? Oh thank god. Please tell me we can go home?" he said, letting
out a large whoosh of air.


After that we met one final time with baa-chan before going home. We went up
to our bedroom, stripping down to our boxers before climbing into bed. Lying on
my side I felt Suke cuddle up to my back, slowly bringing his arm to wrap around
my middle.


"I can't believe that our baby is in here." Sasuke said, a little awed as he
softly caressed my abdomen.


"Mm, I know. I think he's our miracle, Suke, showing everyone that we
belong together, that our love had created another life." I said, intertwining
our fingers together so they rested on my stomach. "I love you, Sasuke."

"I love you, too." he said before yawning softly into my ear. "Sleep love,
it's been a long day."

Norm pov-


It's been a month since they found out of Naruto's pregnancy. Things had
calmed down around the village in the terms of there wedding. They weren't
planning on sharing his pregnancy with the town 'til he was showing.


"Naruto?"


"Hmm?" Naruto said, looking up from his book in his lap.


"What are you doing?"


"What does it look like I'm doing? Reading, you dolt."


"I can see that, baka. I want to know why, when you have an appointment
with Hokage-sama in twenty minutes and your still lounging around."


"Wha...? Since when do I have an appointment with her? And why didn't you
tell me sooner? if I'm late it's your fault!" Naruto huffed, putting his book down
to run around the house getting dressed. Muttered curses could be heard
coming from the bedroom.


Chuckling to himself, he listened silently to the goings on, sighing when he
heard something glass break and another muttered curse followed quickly by
an "I'm fine, umm, did you really like that vase?".


Finally after several minutes Naruto came back down the stairs, sporting a
flushed face and a lip slightly quivering.


"Are we ready to go now?" Sasuke asked, pulling the smaller man to him.


"I broke the vase, I'm sorry." Naruto said, laying his head against Sasuke's
chest.


"Hush, I don't care about the vase, you didn't cut yourself on it did you?"
Sasuke asked, checking his husband's hands and other exposed area's.


"No, I'm fine. I don't know what's got me all frazzled. Can we just go and
get this over with before I break something else today?"


"Come on, lets get you looked over to settle half your worry. I know
you've been worried about the baby for days now." Sasuke said, pulling him
over for them to slide there shoes on before they headed out for the 15 minute
walk to see the Hokage.

Norm continued-

"Well, everything seems to be coming along nicely. Your weight is good and
your healthy for once in your life." Tsunade said happily.


"And the baby? Is it okay?" Naruto asked as he looked at her, squeezing
Sasuke's hand slightly.


"Yes, everything is fine, the baby is fine and in a few more weeks we'll be
able to take a closer look to see it, and if you want, possibly find out what
sex it is."


"You can really see that?" Naruto said, shocked and happy at the same time.
"Hmm, I can't wait to seem 'em, it'll be so amazing to see something that we
created, that I know can't be taken away from me." Naruto said wistfully.


The couple soon left after that. Weeks went by and they were happy. The
town since coming to terms with their marriage, they found hassles few and
far between. All they needed was for their appointment to come, because Naruto was anxiously waiting news on the sex of there baby, nursery ideas running rampant in his head.
