Most of the statements made by Tsunade had been proven valid within the first month of pregnancy. Naruto was a force to be reckoned with; nobody was safe when he went on a rampage. No one could blame him; the affects of pregnancy could drive the strongest werewolf mad. If anyone just happened to wander across Naruto's path and was unaware of his pregnancy, they would assume he was schizophrenic. One minute, he was chipping down the hallway and the next he was screaming at someone for staring at him. The pack learned to fear his mood swings because he was known to lunge and claw if he was throwing a hissy fit.
Naruto was well aware that Tsunade told him anger wasn't good, but he couldn't help it. He tried his best to remain calm, but he couldn't control his emotions. The one thing he detested was people staring at him like he was a piece of meat. Had they never seen a pregnant man before? Was he really such a spectacle?
Mood swings weren't the only thing ailing Naruto. He suffered from frequent food cravings and when he couldn't get what he wanted, werewolves suffered. In his mind, he noted how absolutely disgusting he must look eating every couple of hours. The strangest craving was deep fried cheese. Naruto wanted deep fried cheese for every meal and if he didn't get it various kitchen utensils would be thrown around the room.
When Naruto wasn't throwing up, having mood swings, eating, and attacking people, he was sleeping. That was the only time when the members of the pack had any peace. An outsider might have wondered where his mate was at a time like this. Well, the Alpha of the pack was happily locked away in his office, avoiding his pregnant mate. Sasuke wasn't a person who could handle the affects of pregnancy and he left his pack to deal with Naruto. Not to say, he didn't visit Naruto when he was asleep. He'd make sure that no one had harmed him. Sasuke forced Naruto to go for checkups every other week to make sure the babies were developing well.
Sasuke had given an order to every pack member to listen to Naruto's demands and when he misbehaved, they were not to retaliate. And if anyone dared to go against his orders or hurt his mate, they would be severely punished by his hands.

Naruto scrutinized his image as he peered into a full body mirror. His gaze moved from his face down his budding stomach. Hesitantly, he moved his hands towards his stomach. For a while they hovered over his developing stomach before Naruto moved them away. Three months had passed and he still couldn't bring himself to touch his stomach. He was afraid of touching his stomach because he was unsure of what he would feel when he touched his womb. The thought alone made him shutter, he still hadn't warmed up to the idea of a pregnant man especially since he was that pregnant man.
Turning around, he stared at Iruka who was staring at him. "I look like a hippo, don't I? I'm huge, a huge pregnant man." Iruka rolled his eyes and sighed. "Naruto, we've had this conversation every month for the past three months. Why must you ask this question every time your stomach gets bigger? You know why your stomach is getting larger! If it wasn't, then you'd be in trouble." Naruto huffed; he didn't like the tone of Iruka's voice. It wasn't his fault he was so insecure about his weight! After all Naruto had never seen another pregnant man in his life. He kind of assumed that he was a tad bigger than most three month pregnant women since he was having twins.
Naruto slowly walked over to Iruka and took a seat beside him. "I'm afraid to touch them. What if something bad happened?" Iruka's gaze softened as he looked at Naruto. He was so concerned about his children even though they weren't born. "A gentle touch won't harm them." Naruto peered at Iruka and gulped. "But, what if…" He couldn't finish his sentence because he was unwilling to think about what would happen. "You shouldn't be afraid. After all you wouldn't purposefully hurt your children. A simple touch will only comfort you." Naruto sat silently beside Iruka, contemplating what he had just said. After a few minutes of silence, he nodded.
Once again, Naruto hesitantly moved his hands over his stomach, but this time he made contact. A loud gasp was ripped from his thought. He turned toward Iruka, mouth agape. "Iruka! I felt… I felt them kick." A smile spread to both of their faces. Just then, the door of his bedroom door was thrown open. Upon seeing the intruder, Naruto quickly got to his feet. Not a hint of uncertainty could be found swarming around his mind as he grabbed Sasuke's hand and placed them on his stomach.
Naruto's smile got wider as he felt another kick. When the joy faded slightly and he regained his senses, a bright blush filled his cheeks. Naruto quickly let go of Sasuke's hand that he had pressed to his stomach. He had realized that he was the one who was keeping Sasuke's hand hostage since his hand had been laying comfortably over Sasuke's.
Peering up shyly, he noticed the hint of a small, almost not there, smile. This only caused the blush dusting his cheeks to darken. However, he wanted to make sure that Sasuke had actually felt the kick. At first he couldn't make a coherent sentence because he was so embarrassed. After a few grueling trials, he regained his ability to speak. "Did you feel it?" Naruto placed all his attention on Sasuke, waiting patiently for an answer.
"Yes." A simple answer, but it was enough to make Naruto smile in contentment. Before Naruto could say anything else, Sasuke was speaking again. "From now on, you will be sleeping in my room. Your friend will be staying with Kakashi." Naruto stared blankly at Sasuke, he wasn't sure of what to say. However, it didn't take long for that phase to pass. "Will I get to visit Iruka?" A curt nod was his answer. Naruto sighed with relief, but his eyes narrowed soon after. "Why does Iruka need to stay with Kakashi?"
"Would you rather him stay here alone? If someone attacks him, I will not be held responsible." Naruto glared openly at Sasuke. "Gather your things and meet me in your room. Kakashi will be here shortly to get your friend." With that said, Sasuke left.

Sitting on the bed, he watched as Iruka gathered his belongings. "Don't have unprotected sex, you'll get pregnant." Iruka spun around and stared at Naruto in shock. He silently wondered how much of a toll his pregnancy was having on his mental health. "Naruto, I'm a man! It's impossible for me to get pregnant." Naruto rolled his eyes and gestured to his stomach. "Well I'm a man too! That didn't stop Sasuke from knocking me up, now did it?" It was Iruka's turn to roll his eyes. "Well you're a special case."
Their attention was diverted from their conversation when the bedroom door was opened. Naruto's eyes narrowed as Kakashi entered the room. He wasn't quite sure if he could fully trust Kakashi, after all he didn't know anything about him. Slowly, he got to his feet and approached Kakashi.
Bowing lowly, he greeted the Alpha's mate, a charming smile plastered on his face. This only caused Naruto's suspicion to heighten. "Your pleasant smile can't pull the wool over my eyes. I'll be watching you."His voice was leaking with venom. Kakashi smirked and nodded. "I wouldn't mind your attention." Naruto could feel the heat rushing to his face and he struggled to come up with some type of insult. When nothing came to mind, he turned away and walked over to Iruka.
"Be careful. I'll visit every day to make sure your virginity is still intact." Iruka blushed, how could Naruto make such vulgar comments without batting an eyelash? It was now a proven fact that Naruto's pregnancy was taking a toll on his mental health.
"I'll be taking my leave now. Behave yourselves, do not stir my wrath. Hell hath no fury like a pregnant man." And Naruto hobbled out of the room, hands sprawled on his stomach.
SASUNARU
A loud squeak echoed off the walls of the hallways as body contact was made between a pregnant man and his friend. Naruto turned his head to the side and glared openly at Sai. His glare was answered with a large smile. "Aren't you glad I'm alive?" Sai tightened his hold on Naruto's waist and pulled him flush against his side.
"Do you want to die? I don't think I'll be able to save you this time." Sai's eyes were transfixed on Naruto's face, studying the bags under his eyes and his lips that were pulled into a tight frown. "No blush this time, such a shame. Pregnancy is taking a toll on your cuteness."
Naruto froze at Sai's words, his eyes glazed over as he turned towards him. "Are you calling me fat?" Naruto reached for Sai's throat with speed that the other wasn't expecting. His hands closed around his throat and he squeezed with all his might. "Don't call me fat!" As soon as he uttered those words, tears fell from his eyes, and he released his grip on Sai's neck. "I already know I'm fat! I don't need everyone telling me what I can clearly see."
Buckling knees caused Naruto to land on his ass. Loud sobs filled the hallways and the pack knew not to venture through any of those hallways, it wasn't safe. Sai openly stared at Naruto in confusion. It was then he decided that he had to be careful when speaking to Naruto. He'd never witnessed mood swings first hand and he never wanted to ever again.
Sighing, he approached Naruto, pulling him into his arms. He allowed Naruto to bury his head into his chest and cry. All the while he rubbed soothing circles into his back. "I'll tell Sasuke that you called me fat!" Naruto wailed. Sai bit his lip; this was turning out to be very assuming. He quickly changed his mind; he wouldn't mind his mouth around Naruto.
"You're not fat Naruto, you're pregnant." Naruto stopped sobbing and looked up at Sai through his blurry vision. He wiped his eyes before speaking. "Do you mean that?" Sai nodded and Naruto smiled. Slowly, he detached himself and managed to get to his feet.
"I do have some advice for you, Naruto. Don't be so vocal when having sex with Sasuke. The entire pack can hear you. I'll be seeing you." With that Sai turned around and sprinted off. The mother moon was with him because Naruto couldn't catch up with him, he didn't even try. It would have been stupid for him to chase him because his bulging stomach would hinder his movement. Naruto vowed to deal with Sai at a later, preferably when he wasn't pregnant.
SAUSNARU
Throwing the door open, Naruto barged into Sasuke's room not caring if his mate was busy. Looking around the room, he realized that Sasuke wasn't there. He peered down at his hands and finally realized that he hadn't packed his stuff. His nose scrunched up in distaste. It wasn't as if he had that many possessions in the first place.
Shrugging, Naruto pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind, and opted to look around. He noted that Sasuke's room was bland; he would have to fix that sometime soon. However, the king sized bed was a win in Naruto's mind. It was beckoning him; it wanted him to sleep on it. Not one to deny himself of such pleasure, Naruto approached the bed.
Naruto as best as he could, climbed on the bed, it was tad difficult with his large stomach. Stretching, he pulled off his shoes and socks and threw them in the corner. If he hadn't gotten on the bed, he probably couldn't have been able to take off his shoes, since he couldn't bend over. The thought itself made Naruto shutter. Joining his shoes and socks were his shirt and then his pants.
Collapsing on the bed, he sighed in contentment. At the moment, he didn't care about looking around anymore. He could do that later, right now sleep was over taking him. Before falling into a deep slumber, he placed his hands on his stomach. A smile touched his lips as he felt his children kicking. With that he fell asleep curled into Sasuke's satin sheets. Self consciously he clutched Sasuke's pillow, snuggling it, and inhaling his scent. Naruto couldn't recall ever sleeping so blissfully.
