Chapter Nineteen
A week later, after the Hokage, Kakashi and Iruka left. Sasuke and Naruto were settling in, trying to get used to being parents. Naruto found that Kanaye was the quiet one, just like Sasuke, and Amaya was rather loud, as she seemed to cry a lot. He guessed she took after him.
Sasuke had been enjoying looking after his children, his beautiful children. He hadn’t had any assignments from Kuro, mostly because Naruto banned him from doing any, but he couldn’t blame his lover. This was all new to both of them, and looking after twins on your own was a little daunting.
But now he didn’t have a choice. Kuro had just left, and he had to do an assignment. He winced at Naruto’s glare. It had been a rather difficult night. Amaya had been up all night crying, and he could see how tired Naruto was.
“Teme, I mean it. You can’t go.”
Sasuke sighed. “Dobe, I have too. You know that.”
Naruto huffed. “Fine, but you’re sleeping in the spare room tonight.” He stormed off as Amaya once again started to cry.
Sasuke sighed as he made his way out of the house. Naruto still seemed to be emotional. He was still having mood swings. He suddenly smiled, after his assignment was over, maybe he could go to the village and buy something nice to make Naruto. Maybe that would help soften him up a bit.
He preferred to sleep with Naruto. He loved snuggling up to him. And their children slept in the room with them. Kakashi and Iruka had bought them cribs. He did not want to sleep alone. He had been thinking of asking Kuro to relieve him of duty, but they needed the money, now more than ever.
He was also thinking of maybe returning to Konoha. The Hokage was adamant that they return, but Naruto said he didn’t want to travel with the babies. He sighed as he flew through the air. The sooner he got it done, the sooner he got back.
--
Naruto glared at the front door. As much as he loved his babies, it was hard to take care of both of them on his own. It was just his luck that they were both need their diapers changing at the same time, and both wanted to be fed. He was on his last nerve.
He was tired, exhausted really. He found himself overly emotional, and he would break down crying all the time. He made sure he never did in front of Sasuke. He didn’t want to make a fuss, but he sometimes felt like he wanted to run away from it all.
After making sure the babies were tucked up in their cribs, he went down stairs. In all this commotion, he had once again neglected his health. He wasn’t eating properly and he wasn’t getting much sleep.
In the kitchen, he made himself some ramen and ate it at the table. It had been an hour since Sasuke had been gone, and he was getting madder as each minute passed. After clearing up the mess, he lay on the couch.
As he closed his eyes, he wondered whether going back to Konoha would be best. He would have people around him to help, and the children would be able to interact with other children as they grow up. Maybe being out here alone was what he hated. At first, he had loved it. Just him and Sasuke, but now it was different.
Once again his emotions got the better of him and he cried himself to sleep.
--
After finishing his job, Sasuke stopped in the village and bought some groceries, along with some ramen. He walked into the house and saw Naruto asleep on the couch. After dumping the groceries on the table, he bent over his dobe, and frowned at the tear marks on the tanned cheeks. He sighed and went to unpack the bags. This was not the first time he had seen that his dobe had cried himself asleep.
He knew there was a lot more going on than the idiot was telling him. He had no idea why Naruto would hide this from him. Maybe it would be a good idea to return to Konoha. They would have help. He sighed and sat at the end of the couch, watching Naruto sleep. He hated seeing his lover so sad.
Closing his eyes, he fell asleep.
--
When Sasuke woke up, Naruto was gone. He got up and looked around. He sighed as he heard crying. Walking up the stairs, he walked into their bedroom. Naruto was cradling Amaya as she cried. He bent down and picked up Kanaye as his son began to cry. He looked at Naruto’s face, and began to get worried. Naruto looked strange, like he wasn’t there, like he was dong everything on autopilot.
“Naruto.”
“What?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.”
Sasuke bit his lip, wanting to push it, but afraid that Naruto might snap at him. “Do you still love me?” He asked quietly.
Naruto looked at him in surprise. “Why are you asking me that?” He asked, but Sasuke only continued looking at him. “Of course I still love you…it’s just hard. I feel so tired all the time. I never thought it would be this hard. Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to carry on.” Tears began to form in his eyes. “I feel so emotional all the damn time, and I can’t stop crying.” He sighed, and put Amaya back into her crib, as she had fallen back to sleep. He left the room, and went into the bathroom.
Sasuke followed, after putting Kanaye back in his crib, now that his sister had stopped crying, so had he. Kanaye only cried when his sister started to cry. He followed Naruto and found him sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. His dobe held a hand over his mouth as he cried. Sasuke’s own eyes filled with tears. It was like Naruto’s heart had broken. He collapsed next to his lover and pulled the smaller teen into his arms.
Naruto held on tight, feeling comforted by the familiar touch of Sasuke. He had no idea why he felt like this, and he didn’t know why he couldn’t stop crying. Naruto once again cried himself asleep. Sasuke picked him up and carried him to the bedroom, tucking Naruto into bed, he lay beside him. He watched as Naruto slept, watched the face he loved. He frowned, Naruto looked terrible, with black circles under his eyes, and his usual tan complexion seemed paler.
He wondered when the last time Naruto had a decent meal. He nodded to himself. When his dobe woke up, he would cook him something nice. Lying on his back, he also thought about what to do. He would tell Kuro he wanted to be relieved of duty. He loved working as an angel, but his family came first. Then they would go back to Konoha, maybe it would help. Naruto would have Iruka and the Hokage and they would have help.
As his own eyes closed, he turned on his side and draped an arm over Naruto’s waist.
--
Naruto and Sasuke were awoken by the crying of the twins. Naruto groaned as the two got up. For some reason, it had become a habit. Naruto would usually tend to Amaya and Sasuke would tend to Kanaye. It was diaper time, and then they would want feeding. After two diapers were changed, they took the babies down stairs. Placing them in the bouncy chairs, Naruto went into the kitchen and prepared the bottles.
Sasuke started dinner. He decided he would make fish, rice and miso soup. It was healthy and Naruto loved miso soup. As the food was cooking, he took Kanaye’s bottle.
After the twins were fed, they fell back to sleep, so they were put back to bed and Sasuke dished up dinner. He and Naruto sat at the table and ate. He kept a close eye on Naruto, making sure his lover ate.
Naruto made sure he ate everything on his plate. He knew Sasuke was keeping an eye on him. It was so quiet. He met Sasuke’s eyes, and they smiled at each other, though Sasuke noticed Naruto’s smile wasn’t as bright at it usually was.
“Naruto, I’ve been thinking.” He paused, making sure Naruto was listening. “Do you want to return to Konoha?”
Naruto looked down at the table, and once again burst into tears. Sasuke jumped up and pulled his dobe into his arms. “Naruto, tell me what’s wrong?”
“I don’t…kn…ow…what’s wrong.” He stuttered through his tears. “I don’t know what I want to do either. I want to see Iruka-sensei.”
Sasuke nodded. “We’ll pack up and head home in a couple of days. I also have to speak with Kuro.” Using his fingers, he lifted up Naruto’s chin. There lips met in a chaste kiss. “I love you dobe.” He whispered.
“I love you too.”
Taking Naruto’s hand, he led the smaller teen up the stairs. Maybe it would be rest for his dobe to rest. The twins should stay asleep for the next couple of hours. After tucking him into bed, Sasuke began to pack up all their belongings.
--
A few days later with everything they owned sealed within scrolls, they left the little village where they had lived for over two years. They both turned to have once last look, before walking away. Naruto had thought once again whether Sasuke would come to hate him for making him leave.
With Amaya strapped to his back, he followed Sasuke, who had Kanaye strapped to his back. They sped through the forest, jumping from tree to tree. Sasuke missed his wings. Kuro had visited the other day, and the angel knew what Sasuke wanted to say. He just took his wings away, and said maybe one day they would meet again.
But now, he was returning home with Naruto and his children. He hoped Naruto would be happier when they arrived.
--
Well, that’s it and to tell you the truth, it’s bloody crap. I don’t know if I portrayed postnatal depression correctly, if I haven’t, let me know. I guess this is once again a filler chapter. Anyway, please review to let me know what you thought. I will get the next chapter up soon.
