Why Orange?

(bangs head on desk)

Itachi:What is your problem?

T.W.:I just started my job and while I'm enjoying it, it's also very tiring, throw that on top of a math test I'm studying for and it makes for a very big headache.

Itachi:Wuss.

T.W.:Oh shut up.

Sai:Did you find out why sex scenes are called lemons?

T.W.:Mmm? Oh yeah thanks for reminding me. Apparently it comes from an early hentai series called 'Cream Lemon'.

Itachi:Is that all before you get to the fic?

T.W.: I wanna reply to an anonymous reviewer. Damp asked what PMS was soo here's your answer...PMS stands for premenstral syndrome, it's pretty much when women get all bitchy and moody a week or so before they have their period.
Now on to the fic!

'thoughts'

Chapter 29

Naruto stalked down the road to Iruka's apartment occasionally shooting a glare at Sasuke, "I still can't believe you asked Baa-chan that!"

"I needed to know."

Naruto stopped and spun to face the Uchiha, "You just blurted it out!"

"Usuratonkachi how else should I have asked Tsunade if we could have sex?"

"You could have been more tactful than 'Is sex safe' And people say I don't have subtlty?"

"Why does it bother you so much?"

"Because it was embarassing! Baa-chan laughed!"

Sasuke sighed, "Would you rather I hadn't asked and both of us ended up being celibate for the entire pregnancy?"

Naruto muttered, "No. It's just...she laughed and you were so abrupt, especially after what she'd just told me."

Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek to keep from chuckling. 'So that's why he's so embarassed.' Sasuke stepped in close to Naruto and nuzzled the skin just under the blond's ear with his nose, "You'll look cute."

Naruto growled but it turned into a purr when Sasuke licked the spot he'd just nuzzled. He pushed Sasuke off, "We're in public teme."

"Hn."

The Uchiha grasped Naruto's hand and they started walking again.

Iruka was attempting to finish some paperwork but kept being distracted by a certain silver haired jonin, who was kissing down his neck.

"Kashi would you let me finish this first."

"Mmm you work too hard Ruka."

Kakashi had slipped a hand under the brunette's shirt when they heard a knock at the door. Iruka tried to get up but Kakashi tightened the arms around him, "Ignore it. It's probably just a salesman."

He nibbled the nape of Iruka's neck, making the teacher forget why he'd been getting up. Then, another knock sounded followed by, "Iruka-sensei you home?"

Iruka's head shot up and almost bonked Kakashi in the nose. The jonin sighed, there was no way Iruka would ignore Naruto.

"I'll get it, you file the paperwork away."

Kakashi grabbed one of his books and opened the door to Naruto and Sasuke with his nose buried in it.

"Oh you're here too Kakashi-sensei?"

"It's my day off."

He followed them to the living room and watched as Iruka hugged Naruto and motioned for the young man to sit, "What brings the two of you here?"

Naruto exchanged a glance with Sasuke, "I just came from a check-up with Baa-chan and, well, Kyu-"

Iruka went into worried mother hen mode, "Is something wrong? Is the seal breaking? Are you in danger? Do-"

"Whoa Iruka-sensei! Calm down I'm perfectly healthy and the seal is fine."

Iruka exhaled a sigh of relief, "Then what's going on?"

Naruto took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant."

Kakashi's book hit the floor and Iruka's jaw dropped. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "I'm tactless dobe?"

Naruto glared at his raven haired lover, "I tried being tactful teme and Iruka-sensei spazzed."

Iruka furrowed his brow, "I don't understand."

"About six weeks ago, Kyuubi messed with my anatomy and gave me a small female reproductive system and when Sasuke and I-," Naruto blushed, "well you know, I got pregnant. Baa-chan said that it'll go like a regular pregnancy so there's nothing to worry about. Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka was reeling. His little mischief maker was going to have a baby?

"Um, Iruka-sensei are you upset?"

Iruka snapped out of his daze to meet Naruto's worried blue eyes. He hugged the blond, "Oh of course I'm not upset Naruto. I was just a little surprised that's all. Are you eating well? You aren't going to have any missions are you?"

"Yes I'm eating well and no I'm not going on any missions, though Baa-chan said I'd be helping you out at the Academy until the sixth month."

"I'll enjoy that. I'm so happy for you Naruto."

"Ne, can...can I call you Iruka-tou-san?"

"Nothing would honor me more."

"Yatta!," Naruto glomped Iruka then jumped up to get a soda.

Iruka smiled indulgently then looked over at Sasuke who was watching Naruto with the Uchiha version of happiness. Sasuke caught Iruka's gaze as the teacher's eyes narrowed and read the message 'You'd better take good care of him or I'll skin you alive' loud and clear. He nodded and saw Kakashi pick up his book from the corner of his eye. The copy-nin smiled at the ecstaticly bouncing blond ball of sunshine, "Congratulations Naruto. I'm happy to see that things are working out."

Naruto finished the soda and flashed Kakashi a beaming grin, "Thanks Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke went over to the blond, "We should get going if we're going to tell Sakura."

Naruto nodded and hugged Iruka, "See you later Iruka-tou-san, Kakashi-sensei."

"Take care Naruto."

The door clicked shut behind the two young men.

Sakura spat her tea all over Choji, who had been about to eat a sweet dumpling. She sputtered, "W-what?"

"I'm preganant."

She got up and grabbed two towels, handing one to Choji and using the other to mop up the splattered tea, "Explain."

Naruto sighed and went through the same explaination he had with Iruka. Choji finished cleaning the tea off of himself, "Congratulations Naruto."

"Thanks Choji."

Sakura sat back down, "So does this mean that you'll end up getting breasts?"

Choji choked a little on the dango he'd just swallowed, Sasuke actually chuckled a bit, and Naruto glared at her muttering, "Baa-chan said I probably would."

"Were you embarassed?"

"Not at first but then he," Naruto pointed at Sasuke, "asked if to was safe to have sex!"

Sakura couldn't help it, she started laughing. Naruto drawled irritably, "Strangely enough, Baa-chan had the same reaction."

"Ha ha hm. Sorry but I can just imagine Sasuke asking that in front of you with a straight face when most expectant fathers fidgit and pull the doctor aside to whisper it out of the mother's ear-shot. So how do you plan to tell everyone else?"

"We're planning to tell them as we see them."

"You should ask Tsunade-shishou to gather everyone together and tell them all at once. Besides, since Neji and Lee are busy preparing to move to Suna and Kankuro is moving here, I don't think you'd have the chance to tell them because they're so busy."

Lee and Kankuro hadn't wanted to be apart from their lovers anymore and so had decided that one of the sand siblings would move to Konoha and one more member of team Guy would move to Suna. The Kages had decided that to strengthen their villages, Kankuro would be the one to move to Suna since there were no puppet masters there and Lee would move to Suna because the sand shinobi were a little below par on their taijutsu.

"I remembered that Neji was moving to Suna but I forgot about Lee and Kankuro."

Sakura shook her head, "How can you forget something like that?"

"Hey! I've had an unusual couple of days! Anyway they only told everyone about it last week, I haven't had time to get used to the idea yet."

"I suppose you've got a point there. So are you going to get everyone together to tell them all at once?"

Naruto thought about it and realized that it would be a lot easier. He got up to leave, "Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks Sakura-chan."

"No problem."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everyone piled into Tsunade's office; teams Guy, Kurenai, and Asuma, Konohamaru's team, the sand siblings, Shizune, Yamato, Ibiki, Raido, Sai, Genma, Anko, and Jiraya. They gathered in front of the Hokage's desk and the slug Sannin cleared her throat, "I asked you all here because Naruto has an announcement."

Everyone turned to the blond as he stepped forward and fidgited nervously with Sasuke standing behind him, arms wrapped protectively around Naruto's waist.

"Um, well yesterday I found out that Kyuubi sort of fiddled with my anatomy and, long story short, I'm pregnant."

Genma's senbon hit the floor and everyone yelled out a collective, "What?"

Tsunade took over, "Naruto is pregnant with Uchiha's child thanks to Kyuubi."

Kiba asked, "You're joking right?"

Naruto shook his head, "No dog-breath. It's no joke."

"Uh is this a good thing, I mean are you happy about this?"

Naruto leaned back into Sasuke's embrace, "Insanely happy dog-breath."

All the women, even the no nonsense Temari and the tough Anko, squealed an huddled together to make plans for a baby shower for when Naruto was in his sixth month. MOst of the men squirmed uncomfotably except for Guy and Lee, who were exclaiming something about Naruto adding to Konoha's 'Flame of Youth' and Neji and Gaara, who simply congratulated the parents to be and felt a little bit jealous. Gaara never thought he'd ever actually wish he still had Shukaku. Shikamaru muttered about what a pain the fuss that the women were making was, congratulated Naruto, and left to find a quiet spot to watch the clouds. Jiraya cracked open Tsunade's sake, making the woman suggest that they move the impromptu party downstairs.

Naruto and Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief when they finally got home. They had been kept at the Hokage Tower by their friends until well after noon. Naruto flopped onto the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and curled up on his side. Sasuke smiled a bit, "Taking a nap?"

"Mmm-hmm."

The brunette went over to Naruto and brushed his fingers down the side of a whiskered cheek gently, "I have some things to do but I'll be downstairs if you need me."

Naruto hummed and lazily waved Sasuke away. The Uchiha went to the kitchen and proceded to plot a proposal.
