As Long as it Feels OK

/*AN: Again, sorry on the wait for the chapter, suddenly there's alot happening in my life, between building a portfolio, switching to a new part time job and hammering out a deal on a free lance design job, there's been very little time for much else. Plus, I want to do this story justice and with the amount of things flying through my head it's getting harder and harder to do. No worries though, I won't be giving up on this fic any time soon, the plot would have my head I'm sure, seeing as how it kept me awake at night before everything started happening. Anyway, on with the show!... fiction... story... whatever. Enjoy!*/

*DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters in Naruto. If you have a problem with male/male content then you probably shouldn't read this story as it will eventually be coming to that.*

Light shone on Naruto's face stirring him from a deep slumber. He was laying on something very soft, he assumed it to be a bed but he didn't really feel that he had the energy to open his eyes and investigate. He couldn't think of how he'd gotten here or why he'd be here even if he could remember how, all he cared about was that he was warm and comfortable. If only that sun wasn't in his face, then maybe he would be able to go back to sleep.

"I know you're awake Naruto-Kun." Tsunade's voice broke the silence.

Naruto frowned, now why would he be somewhere that Tsunade is? Last he remembered he was on a mission toward Sand. How'd Tsunade get all the way out here with a nice comfy bed? But... Now that he thought about it, there were no nature sounds; no wind in the trees, no birds chirping happily, no water running freely. As a matter of fact, it didn't smell like the outside either, it's smell a lot like... Naruto opened his eyes, "A hospital room?"

"Yes, welcome back to the world of the living, I was actually beginning to worry about you!"

"Why?" The blond scrubbed sleep from his eyes and pushed himself up from the bed into a sitting position.

"Well from the minor wounds you received, being unconscious for nearly a week, is quite odd."

Naruto inspected his body. He found bandages covering his thigh and calf, and both were only a little tender. A week? Normally Kyuubi would take care of this sort of thing in a couple hours. "A week?" He turned confused blue eyes on the Hokage.

"Yeah. The mission was a success. No more ambushes have been reported since you and Neji took out those missing-nins. Hunter-nins came and cleared the bodies even before the teams returned from searching for accomplices. We're sure Akatsuki is behind it though."

"Okay, but why was I out of it for a week? What's wrong with Kyuubi?" Naruto actually sounded worried for the fox.

"Nothing's wrong with Kyuubi, his chakra is just... preoccupied."

"Preoccupied?" Now he was really confused, if he wasn't taking care of his host, what was he trying to take care of?

"Yes. This is the first injury your body has ever had to handle without the help of the Kyuubi. It threw you into a very nasty state of shock that we didn't dare try to wake you from it for fear of the consequences..." Tsunade trailed off deliberately.

"Okay, so you didn't want to wake me up, big deal. What the hell is Kyuubi up to?"

"Where to start..." The Hokage looked lost for a few moments. The sun flickered through the window warming the room in it's mid afternoon light. "You know that an animal's only true natural instinct is to breed right? That eating and finding shelter and competing are all means to the end of procreation?"

"...Yes?" Naruto wasn't sure he followed where this was going.

"Well, apparently since you've now grown as much as you will, Kyuubi felt that it's time that you, as a lower animal then himself, begin to seek to procreate. Now it's natural for human hormones to drive them to intercourse at your age, and an unlucky few are actually thrust into the realities of parenting because of it. Unfortunately, the situation seems to be a bit off with you."

The blond simply arched a confused eyebrow.

"You're carrying a child, and as a male this should be an impossibility, as you well know; but you also aren't normal in the fact that you house a demon as well. The Kyuubi's chakra is tied up in keeping a child alive inside of you."

Naruto blinked and Tsunade took this as a signal to continue. "We aren't sure how this happened, as in we don't know if this is entirely the Kyuubi's doing or if it had some other way of bringing this event to happen, but you need think about what you want to do."

Naruto's mind suddenly dropped everything into place. He had turned himself into a girl, apparently better then he ever thought, of course that could very simply have been the Kyuubi's doing, but because of it he had become pregnant, and the father was most likely... "Sasuke..."

"What?" It was Tsunade's turn to look confused now.

"Kyuubi used Sasuke. Oh god no, my life is over..." The blond fell backwards onto the bed again and flung his arms over his eyes to block the sun.

"How exactly did the Kyuubi use Sasuke?" Tsunade was now trying to figure things out.

"Yeah, at Sakura's party."

"But you weren't there, you were perfecting a jutsu."

"Yeah, Oiroke no Jutsu... at Sakura's party, I was the uninvited female guest.”

Tsunade's eyebrow twitched, “And you...” She trailed off knowing she didn't have to say it out load. Naruto simply nodded. “Well, I can see now where Kyuubi got the idea.” She sighed heavily. “This makes the situation worse. If it was only you involved then only you would have to know for now, the decision would have been entirely up to you. But now...”

Naruto swallowed waiting for his doom to be spoken.

“Now you have to tell Sasuke, he has his clan to think about and as the father, he has rights over the baby as well.”

The boy groaned and rolled his back to Tsunade and the sun. He'd go back to sleep and when he woke up it'll all have been a bad dream. And if it wasn't... well he'd deal with that when he woke up again. If it was true, he hoped he'd never wake up again.

******************************************

A chill breeze brushed over the blond as his eye flickered open. He turned to look outside, the moon was up and shinning brightly. The building was quiet. The only noise Naruto could hear was the chirruping of crickets.

He was still in the hospital. Which means he wasn't dreaming, if he'd been dreaming, he'd have woken up at the camp in the woods with the other ninja. He heaved a sigh and scrubbed his eyes, he was in big trouble.

To him it wasn't even about telling Sasuke. It was about the fact he didn't have the slightest idea of how this was supposed to work. He'd always assumed he'd grow to have children, only he thought he'd be the father and wouldn't have to deal with the rearing at all... He never even had parents to care for him, how was he supposed to know how to treat a child... Or how to be pregnant?

He sighed again. There were foot steps in the corridor and Naruto propped himself up expecting Tsunade. A gentle knock on the door before Sasuke poked his head through the opening, "Dobe?"

The blond blinked in surprise, his face blank, "Sasuke?" He colored, the thoughts that had been running through his head during the mission, as well as the news he'd been given almost caused him to loose consciousness again.

"Hey. Are you ok? You've been in here for a really long time." Sasuke moved into the room and sat on the stool next to Naruto's bed.

"..I'm... fine. My leg's a little sore but I should be up and about in a few days... What are you doing here?"

"Tsunade-Sama said that you should talk to me. She said no one had been in to visit you." He lowered his eyes, "Sorry I didn't come sooner."

"You didn't have to... I've always been on my own. It's nothing huge."

"Even so..." The Uchiha swallowed, "What were you supposed to tell me?"

Naruto lowered his eyes and sunk back to the mattress of the bed. Before he could bury himself in the blankets, Sasuke was getting up, "I understand if you don't want to tell me. I've never much liked being forced to talk either. Just remember it was Tsunade-Sama's orders and you can tell me when you're ready." He had caught the edge of the blanket and was smiling down at Naruto.

The blond barely nodded and Sasuke's smile broadened before he put the blanket over Naruto's head, "Sleep well Usuratonkatchi, I'll pop by again tomorrow."

Naruto was sure that his head must be redder then Sakura's dress. Sasuke had no idea how right he was when he'd said he didn't appreciate being forced to talk... But then he'd smiled too and that turned the blond’s brain to mush even more then the current situation.

His wish had been granted. He knew he was attracted to the other boy, more then what was normal anyway, and he'd held those feelings close to his heart because he had nothing to offer in the form of the future of the Uchiha clan. Now he was carrying the Uchiha heir inside of himself...

He had to tell Sasuke, even if Sasuke rejected him and wanted nothing to do with him anymore, he had more of a chance now then he'd ever had before. He was the kind of girl that Sasuke wanted, his attitude, his looks, his personality, and now he could offer children to him as well.

He would tell him tomorrow when he came to visit. He would tell him everything.
