WHY
Chapter 15- The wait continues-
Norm pov entire chap-
The week was up and still nothing had changed. They were still sitting on their couches, waiting for their husbands to come home.
"Naruto, there's nothing I can tell you. We got word that two are on their way now - but we won't know which two until they get here." Tsunade said as she watched Naruto pace her office.
"How could this have happened? They said it was ‘compromised’, how could this have continued if that was the case?" screamed a hysterical Naruto, stopping every now and then to look at the two women.
"Naruto, come on, you need to calm down. It's not good for the baby to be stressed like this," Sakura said, worry covering her face.
"Sakura, don't fucking say I need to stop worrying. My husband is out there somewhere and no one knows if he's alive or not! If he's coming back or not - you of all people should know how I'm feeling right now, so don't fucking say I need to calm down!" Naruto yelled, glaring across the room at her.
"I'm sorry, okay? I know what you're going through, but you need to worry about your child! When you stress, your baby stresses, and it's not good for him to be put through that," Sakura said softly as she tried to pull in her anger.
"I'm, sorry Sakura. My hormones are all over the place and I told him not to go on this mission. But he didn't listen and now look what's happened!" sniffled a drained Naruto.
"Naruto, why don't you go home for now? There's nothing you can do here at the moment. I've got a team ready to go out and search for them if they don't show up within the next twenty-four hours, okay," Tsunade said tiredly.
"Yeah, okay baa-chan. Let me know how it’s going, okay? I can't stand to be there not knowing what's going on."
"I will, Naruto. Go home and rest a bit," she said, watching him leave defeated from her office.
+++++++++
- Time lapse-
"Naruto, it's been two weeks. We've sent search party after search party to find them and nothing has come back yet. We have one out right now, but I'm afraid that I can't stretch it out much further. We're going to have to call it off soon."
"What? You can't! He's not home yet. You said you'd find him," Naruto said, starting to pace the Hokage office. "If you're not going to find him, then I am! I'll do it myself if you're so inept that you can't!" Naruto fumed before abruptly leaving the office and tower, storming off as best as his swollen stomach would let him.
Once home, he collapsed onto the couch, crying over his missing husband. He couldn't take losing him. Eventually Naruto cried himself to sleep, never seeing three pair of eyes watching him.
++++++++
"Kakashi, we have to do something, this isn't right," Iruka said sadly as he watched his honorary son cry himself to sleep.
"I've already spoken to Hokage sama, she asked that I head out to find him. There was word that he might be only two villages away. If that's correct, he's badly injured and is slowly making his way home."
"Why didn't she just tell him that?"
"She feared he would run off to this village and end up getting hurt."
"When do you leave, then?"
"Tonight. Sakura is coming with incase the findings are correct," Kakashi said, laying his head down on Iruka's shoulder.
+++++++
"Kakashi sensei. Does Naruto know about this?" Sakura asked as they moved beyond the village borders.
"No, and he's not to know unless the mission is successful. Understand?" Kakashi said as they moved faster.
"Hai. I'm worried about him. He's gone quiet pale lately. I'm not sure he's eating right, either. When we bring Sasuke back, he's not to leave again. That's final. I can't take this, watching him suffer, not knowing."
"What about you, Lee has been gone all this time as well?"
"I'm fine. If Lee was dead he'd have been home sooner, I know it."
The days past quickly and within three days they had reached the village they'd been informed of Sasuke having been at. From there, they were told he had left and were given the direction they had last been seen heading in.
Three weeks later, they finally found there lost comrades held up in a shabby motel in a town only a day's walk from Kanoha.
"Who would have known you were a pain in the ass to follow, Uchiha Sasuke! Your husband is quiet distressed that you have been missing for so long."
"Sa… Sakura san? Oh kami… Is Naruto okay? The baby?" Sasuke asked
from his bed roll on the floor.
"Are you injured? You look like hell, Sasuke," Kakashi said, looking the younger man over.
"I have a gash in my leg. I tried to… heal it myself, but the constant moving hasn't let it heal right."
"Let me have a look then, Sasuke," Sakura said, crouching down by her old team mate's side.
Looking him over, she quickly noted several things. He was under weight, the gash in his leg was not healing and looked infected, and he was missing a finger.
"What happened to your finger, Sasuke?"
"I - it was left behind in my escape, Sakura. Can ya heal the leg? I have been trying to make it home," Sasuke said tiredly.
"Where's Lee, Sasuke?" Kakashi asked as he knelt beside the two.
"Getting supplies I presume. His arm is in a sling but he can move around better than me."
"What's wrong with his arm?" Sakura asked as she mostly healed his leg, taking the infection out. "I've mostly healed it. It will take a few days before it’s completely healed though. We can put off leaving until then if all parties here want, but I'd like to get us all home before we miss the birth of your son."
"Sasuke, we need to head out. The town's people say someone's looking for us…" Lee left off when he saw who was in the room. "Oh kami. Sakura!" Lee all but screamed as he grabbed her about the waist with his good arm, hugging her close. "Gods, it's been so long, my sweet Sakura blossom." Lee peppered her face in kisses as a few tears escaped his eyes.
"I've missed you too, Lee. Now let me see your arm, Sasuke said it was in a sling, what did you do to yourself this time?"
Gently, she released his arm from the sling, carefully looking it over."Sprained wrist and a fracture that looks to be related to a small gash. Well, you sure hurt your arm - is there anything else I need to know about?"
"That's the worst of it. Just scrapes here and there, love," Lee gushed at her.
Sakura quickly set to work healing his arm and they waited another day before making the trek home.
++++
"Naruto, please calm down. I told you Sakura and Kakashi sent a missive today - they'll be coming home within the next few days. They found Sasuke and Lee and both are well enough for the journey home."
"Thank you, baa-chan. I've just been so worried, not knowing what was happening. He's coming home... I have to go clean the house. Thank you again," Naruto smiled for the first time in over a month. Reaching over, he kissed her cheek before waddling out of her office, heading home to clean up his house.
