Chapter16
/* AN: Once again sorry for the amount of time it's taken to get this chapter out. I haven't forgotten the story, nor will I be giving it up. I quit my job recently, so now I'm just doing my work term full time. I have my evenings again so here's hoping this story will get back on track. It's been sitting on the back burner for a while and I've been working on this chapter intermittently since the last chapter, but I was going to school full time and working full time, so mostly I only had extra time for sleeping. Anyway, your reviews will help me to pick it up again even faster. The more I know people are reading, the more I want to write. Help me out, and let me know if you want an e-mail update whenever I'm posting new chapters. Just leave it in a review because I read every one of them.*/

*****************************************
Tsunade burst through the door to Naruto's hospital room, all raging fury and flaming eyes. He'd gone ANOTHER night without sleeping! What was wrong with this boy that he couldn't accept what his body needed and what everyone was telling him? Granted, he'd never been the one to listen closely to orders, if at all, unless it was what he wanted to do, but surely even he could tell that his body needed rest, that the Kyuubi needed to rest to keep his child alive?
“Naruto! You had bet-” She was stopped short, deflated, blinking as she took in the scene in front of her. There was Naruto, sound asleep, adorable, peaceful, and draped all over one Uchiha Sasuke. Who would have thought?
Sasuke looked up, equally surprised at the Hokage's outburst, “What?” He blinked, looking a bit tired, but none the worse for wear.
“The nurse said he hadn't slept again last night?” It was defiantly more of a question then a statement; after all, what reason would the nurse have for lying to her?
“The nurse hasn't been in to check on him all night. I've been here since the last shift change. He fell asleep not long after I got here.” The brunet glanced fondly to the boy in his arms. “Judging from how he's slept so far tonight, I'd say he needs it.” There was a smile there, faintly, but there for all the world to see.
“Oh...” Now Tsunade was out of steam. It didn't last long. “What do you mean the nurse hasn't been in to check on him? She's supposed to make rounds every half hour.”
Sasuke looked back to his leader, “Well she hasn't. I've been awake all night, besides if she'd been in, she'd have probably kicked me out, it's after visiting hours... Well before visiting hours now I suppose.”
“Yes well... I'm going to have to look into this.” The busty woman turn on her heel and swept out of the room with the same rage as she'd entered.
“Baa-chan's gone?” Naruto murmured without opening his eyes, or appearing to move at all.
“Hai. When did you wake up?” Sasuke smirked. The blond had fooled even him, and he was holding him.
“How could I not have woken up with all that shouting she was doing?”
“Naruto, she only said three and a half words.” He chuckled.
“Ne, seemed to me like she wouldn't shut up. Are you tired?”
“A bit, but I'll survive.” Sasuke was still smiling down at Naruto.
“Are you comfy?”
“I'll live.”
“Yeah, I'm getting that, but do you want me to move?”
“No.”
“Do you want to sleep?”
“Yes.”
A frustrated growl as Sasuke did nothing to rectify the situation, “Then get comfy Sasuke-teme.”
Sasuke sat forward and stripped his shirt off before hunkering down next to the blond. He rearranged themselves so that Naruto was using his shoulder as a pillow and he was laying quite nicely on the small bed.
“Are you okay now Naruto?”
“Hmm.” The blond was already half asleep. He shifted a bit, moving one arm up under Sasuke's neck and the other pulled his pale body closer. He hooked one leg over Sasuke's and held him captive before finally drifting off.
The Uchiha let out a small chuckle before joining the blond in sleep.
*****************************************
It was noon when Tsunade came back to check on her favorite blond haired shinobi. He was still curled up on the small bed with the Uchiha. He was wrapped around Sasuke like the pale boy was some kind of a life sized teddy bear. She couldn't help but smile at the scene. Especially since Sasuke was clinging to Naruto almost the same way. She wondered if they even had teddy bears growing up.
The events of the previous evening had been sorted out, and one nurse had been severely reprimanded, as well as being slapped with restrictions galore and demoted to mostly bed pan duty. It turned out that the nurse had lost a son to the Kyuubi housed inside of Naruto, and was holding that loss against the boy in her care. Psychologically it made sense, but being a nurse her code of ethics was supposed to be above that. Naruto would be out of here today anyway, if Sasuke would agree to her terms.
Rather then wake the boys, who were obviously still tired, she moved down the hall to make the arrangements. She had hopped that this morning's display of affection, from everyone's favorite heir to the Uchiha clan, was a sign that Sasuke was beginning to accept what Naruto had to offer him. Even among Shinobi, how often was it that the one bearing children could give the father of those children a run for their money in a sparring match?
Tsunade was willing to bet that the child that came from this union, and hopefully children in the future, would be some of the most powerful Konoha had ever seen. She could see the Sharingan, coupled with Uzumaki stamina, she was also sure that the Kyuubi would put his hand into the mix and that child would have some kind of crazy amount of chakra same as Naruto did growing up.
In any case, her plan was to convince Sasuke to take care of Naruto and their child. She knew it would be good for the both of them to have companionship. She also knew that while Naruto had denied his feelings when the Uchiha had returned from Orochimaru, those feelings were out in the open now. How could they not be? Naruto wasn't capable of getting drunk so it had to be a conscious decision to sleep with the other boy; even if it was a choice to relieve sexual tension, why Sasuke, if not because he was coming to terms with his feelings?
Yes, Tsunade was sure it would be a good idea for the Uchiha to take care of Naruto. Be it in Naruto's box of an apartment or at the Uchiha mansion, she really didn't care, but she would need someone to look after her boy and who better then the father of his baby?
*****************************************
It was the smell of food that finally woke Naruto, and not the card-board-ish stuff they called food in a hospital; no, this was miso pork ramen that he was smelling. He was greatly aware of the body snuggling deeper into his side when he rolled to greet this bowl of deliciousness in noodle form.
As great a way as it was to wake up with someone next to you and the smell of your favorite food approaching, Naruto was weary. He knew he was in the hospital, and that it was Tsunade that had come in earlier. He opened his eyes, it was Tsunade that was approaching with the steaming bowl full to over flowing with noodles. Where was the trick?
“Good afternoon, Naruto-kun.” The Hokage smiled happily.
“What do you want, Obaa-chan?” He eyed her suspiciously.
“I can't bring my favorite shinobi his favorite meal to help make him feel better?”
“Not without something to gain.” He accepted the bowl from her none the less, “What do you want?”
“You're being discharged today.”
“That's the good news, get on with it.” He slurped his food noisily and the brunet next to him stirred.
“You're being assigned a caretaker. You've already taken far too many risks with your pregnancy, and now Akatsuki knows of your condition, they could be back after you.”
“Ghoo?” This was garbled behind a mouthful. He had to be feeling normal to have demolished the meal this quickly.
“Sasuke.”
The boy on the bed pretending to be asleep shot up, “What?!” Naruto just looked between the two a couple times.
“Naruto needs someone to look after him. I know you two get along whether you're willing to admit it or not. I know you care for each other too. Now, Sasuke, you have a child you could be helping out. I'm asking you this, as a friend, I won't command you to do it.”
Both blonds turned to the Uchiha. He swallowed. Hard.
