46: How to Keep Your Children Under Control – The Nindo of the New Parent

Gai woke to the feeling of warm breath ghosting across his chest. He pulled the other closer and breathed in the fresh earthy sent of him.
Itachi smiled as he felt the strength of his lover holding him close.
Gai’s fingers tangled in Itachi’s loosened hair, pulling it painfully and the Uchiha gasped lightly.
“I’m sorry, Itachi-kun.” He said as he attempted to loosen his digits.
“Hold on. You’re pulling too much.” Itachi said, grabbing the errant fingers and holding them still.
Gai was directly in front of Itachi now and as he held the fingers tightly he leaned up to claim the soft lips of the green beast with his own.
As the Uchiha’s lips found his, Gai’s fingers relaxed and the hair fell free.
But even when he was safe from a severe hair pulling, Itachi did not cease his onslaught.
The elder Uchiha Jounin was accustomed to winning every battle he fought.

Meanwhile in the cottage:
Naruto had moved away when Sasuke continued to shift in her sleep. It was rare for the pair to be separated since the first time they had discovered their shared feelings and Sasuke woke feeling strangely alone.
Her sleep had been peppered by weird fleeting dreams and stomach cramps that had barely allowed her to fall asleep before rousing her again.
Finally, she had had enough.
Sasuke rose from bed to feel the worst of her stomach rumbling and then a warm rush flowed down her legs as she realized what the cramping had meant.
Her waters now on the floor next to her bed, she was about to panic and her breath was as rapid as her heartbeat.
She turned around and her eyes landed on the only stabilizing influence in her life.
Naruto was still curled up in the bed.
Sasuke did the first thing she could think of. She pelted him with her pillow, hard.
Naruto woke with a start and jumped up to face his attacker and found only his lover staring at him with what would be a paniced look for anyone other than an Uchiha who never paniced.
“Sasuke, what’s wrong?” he asked and was answered by the dark-haired one doubling up and falling forward onto the bed. “Sasuke!”
Sasuke had never felt anything so painful in all of her years as a shinobi, even during the time spent training under Orochimaru. That couldn’t compare in the least. When the pain subsided she quickly conveyed her distress to her lover.
She beat on him with closed fists and screamed.
“I’m in Labor, you stupid DumbAss. DO SOMETHING!” and she stared at him with a pleading look.
Naruto, once he had stilled her beating hands, did the first thing that any experienced ninja does when his partner, who is pretending to be a woman in order to bear his children goes into labor in the middle of the morning, does. HE PANICED!
“What? What am I supposed to do?” he began, “I don’t know nothing about birthing babies.”
“Then you are completely worthless and go to hell!” Sasuke said as another pain coursed across her midsection and drew her into the fetal position.
Naruto stared for a moment before the voice of reason in his head, Kyuubi, spoke.
“He’s upset and hurting, he needs to relax and not push. You are going to have to determine if the cervix is dilated before he can push. Now stop acting like an idiot and help my vixen.”
“What the hell is a cervix and how am I supposed to know if it is dilated?” he said, out loud. Sasuke stopped rolling and looked up at him like he had grown another head. “Sorry, Kyuubi said something that I didn’t understand, but I got it now.”
Sasuke was too shock by the statement to do anything but stare at the blond as he helped her into a more comfortable position and adjusted the nightshirt that she wore.
“Um, Kyuubi. I don’t really have a clue here?” he spoke to his demon as Sasuke leaned back and keened at him.
“Think of it like this: When my vixen is in his male form, you have to prepare him. This will be like that, only you must search the birth canal and you are searching for the opening to the birth sack. It would be advisable to hurry, Kit.” The voice of the demon growled out at him.
“Okay, I got it.” Naruto said as he crawled between the raised knees of the Uchiha and lifted the edge of the clothing, exposing the private area of the transformed ninja.
Sasuke would have glared, had she not been in the middle of another contraction and gritting her teeth while squeezing her eyes shut.
“Don’t push, Sasuke. Let me see if the baby is ready yet.” The blond said as he positioned two fingers at the entrance to her and pressed them inside.
When she felt Naruto’s fingers enter her, Sasuke’s eyes flew open and her mouth began moving like a koi as she stared at the man between her knees.
Naruto was quick and with the encouragement of the Demon, he assessed the situation and looked up at his lover.
“Um, Sasuke. The baby is coming so if you have any emotional attachments to the linens, we should probably change them now.” He said as the Uchiha stared down at him.
“What are you talking about, Dobe?” Sasuke said.
“Look, we are alone here, Aoi is out of town, Itachi isn’t home, even that bee-woman is going to be any help, all passed out from the Dainichi, and Koibito is still asleep. We can do this.” He encouraged.
“Are you out of your mind? How can you even suggest such a thing?”
“There is a chance that if we try to get to the hospital it may put the second baby in danger. You are gonna have the baby here. Kyuubi is certain of it.” He added hoping to aid his mate in keeping control.
“What the fuck do I care if the Demon thinks that? I can’t have a baby here. What are you thinking, you depraved moron!?” she let loose just before another wave of pain split her in two. “Naruto, help me.”
“Okay, Kyuubi says to hold on and don’t push yet. I felt the baby’s head, Sasuke. It’s right there, but it isn’t ready yet. You have to hold back for a couple more pains.” Naruto explained as he placed both of his palms against the sides of the bulging area of Sasuke’s middle. The faint traces of chakra emanating were telling him, through the fox, that the babies were all right. He had to help Sasuke.
As fast as he could, Naruto pulled the blankets away and then he rushed into their adjoining bathroom returning with three large absorbent towels. He opened them and laid two under Sasuke’s behind.
The other he set aside and then he moved behind his love as the next contraction hit and wrapped his arms around her, rocking with her as she cursed lowly and tried to breath her way through the experience.
“So help me, Naruto. I hope you know what you are doing. If anything happens to either of these babies I will personally hand you your dick.” And the blond winced at the sincerity of her tone.
“They’ll be fine. Just one more, okay?” he asked as she leaned back against him, exhausted already from the ordeal.
“They had better.” She said as he rose and rushed back to the bathroom returning with a bowl of warm water and some damp facecloths.
Sasuke watched as he placed the bowl on the side table and put a cloth next to it. Then he opened the desk drawer and took out some items placing them on the towel that he had put aside earlier.
Naruto placed the scissors and two of Sasuke’s barrettes along with a bulb syringe left over from when Koibito was sick and Tsunade had given it to him, just in case, onto the towel and then returned to his lover as they anticipated the last of the preparatory pains that would bring their first child into the world.
Kyuubi had instructed him, and if the fox was correct, this was going to be a close one.
“Now, don’t push Sasuke. No matter how much you want to. Don’t push.” Naruto admonished as he once more took up his position behind the dark haired mother-to-be and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
The pain was bearable and Sasuke managed by spearing the blond’s arms with her nails as she held on tightly, pressing in there as she willed the other muscles of her body not to push out the moving obstruction that was working down it’s escape route.
Then the pain was gone and she fell back exhausted.
Naruto propped extra pillows behind her and moved to the open area between her knees.
“Okay, now this is it. When the next contraction comes, you have to push as hard as you can. I’m going to make sure, but Kyuubi thinks it’s time.” Naruto said, once more pressing his finger in and taking stock of the progress. “I can feel it. The baby is nearly here.” He said, enthusiastically.
“Good. I am grounding it for the first ten years just for putting me through this.” Sasuke said, shifting slightly to prepare for the birth.
Naruto smiled and rubbed at the rounded part of his lover as he too, waited for the last contraction. He pushed the nightshirt up and exposed the Uchiha even more as the pain hit and Sasuke curled up in his attempt to expel the child from within.
Naruto took hold of one of his lover’s hands and added his own form of assistance as the glow of blue moved from his hand to that of the Uchiha.
Sasuke pushed with all his might, bearing down and forcing the baby through the canal and into the world. As soon as the baby’s head was in view, Naruto released Sasuke’s hand and gently guided the tiny child out of the opening and onto the pile of blankets. The head passed and the blond turned the baby until his face came into view and his chin was clear. Then he held his son as the shoulders passed and the rest followed with a resounding plop.
Now, he acted quickly, wrapping the baby and clearing the fluid from its mouth as fast as he could. The baby released a loud sound that only a newborn could make, as his father placed him on the bed between his mother’s legs and reached out to the still swollen belly and place his hands on either side once more.
To the background noise of a newborn wailing, Naruto followed the fox’s directions and focused his chakra and the Kyuubi’s into the womb and around the remaining child. The contractions hadn’t ceased and as he worked Sasuke grabbed onto his shoulders and pulled close again, his body releasing the remains of the afterbirth and fluids from the first baby. Naruto worried that he hadn’t been able to cut the cord before this, but Kyuubi assured him that his son would be fine and that the other child needed him more.
Sasuke collapsed back against the pile of pillows as Naruto and the demon slowed the heart rate of the second child and focused their efforts on stopping any further muscle spasms to follow.
It seemed to take forever, but was only a hand full of heartbeats before the labor had stopped and the womb had once more stabilized.
Sasuke sighed as he began to drift of to sleep in his exhaustion.
Naruto dropped back and gathered his son in his arms coaxing him to be quiet as he rocked him gently in his arms.
Sasuke reached out and Naruto handed the bundle to him, as he reached for the other tools on the bed.
In no time at all he had cut the cord and fastened off the remains with the barrettes and was cleaning the baby with the prepared washcloths.
Sasuke took over as Naruto removed the soiled towels and the rest of the mess and dropped it into the tub to deal with later. Right now, he was going to cuddle with his new baby and his amazing lover, and then he would see what needed to be done.
One last thing he did before climbing into the bed. Naruto performed a quick summoning and sent Gamatatsu off to inform Tsunade of the events of the morning and then he pulled the blankets back over the sleepy brunette and curled up on top of them. Sasuke and the baby never even noticed as they were both so exhausted that they didn’t even wake up.
“Not bad for a completely worthless Dumb Ass, eh Sasuke?” he said as he drifted off to sleep next to his family.
