Author's note: Sorry for taking nearly a month with this, guys. Even though it isn't that long, it gave me more trouble than I anticipated. It probably didn't help that I'm tired from university work, either. Which brings me to the next ANNOUNCEMENT: At the end of May my exams will start and while I'll work on my stories whenever I can, I can't promise regular updates as long as my exams are ongoing. I'll try to have the next one out soon, but if you don't see a new chapter appearing in the near future, you know why. My apologies in advance.

Thanks to the following reviewer: smint45

Warnings: Set nearly two months after chapter 5 of this omake series; Naruto's pov; MPreg; Itachi's pov at the end; some foul language

I hope you'll like it! Not one of my best, I'm afraid.

Chapter 12

"All right, Kei, let's get you in the car," Naruto murmured and his breath left him in white clouds; the cold wind stinging his cheeks and hands.

The three year old nodded sleepily, rubbing his eyes with his glove covered hands. He yawned widely when his father picked him up and put him in the child seat, fastening the seatbelt before placing his little green bag pack next to him. The bag contained his lunchbox and his stuffed fox which he carried with him everywhere he went – including the day care.

Naruto closed the door and groaned softly as he straightened his back, rubbing absentmindedly over his rounded belly. A soft kick was his reply and he grinned, opening the door to the driver's seat, so that he could slide behind the wheel. Well, as much slide as he was capable of doing when he was five months pregnant.

Throwing a quick glance at his watch, he was reassured to see that he still had twenty minutes to drop off Kei at the day care before driving to his work. Sasuke had already left half an hour ago, needing to look through some files before his first patient arrived.

He rubbed his hands briefly together in a vain attempt to warm them – his car was so damn cold during the winters – and then turned his key to start the car, expecting the familiar rumble of the engine coming to life.

Except there was no sound. His car wasn't starting at all.

What the hell?

A frown creasing his forehead, he turned his key again. Still nothing. What the hell was going on here?

Annoyance building up – he really didn't want to deal with this crap on a Monday morning – he removed his seatbelt and opened his door again, throwing a quick glance at his son on the backseat.

"Daddy needs to check something quickly, okay?" he said and got a slow blink as answer.

Huffing in annoyance, he stepped out of the car and walked to the front, opening the hood so that he could take a look. Blue eyes slipped from one part to the other and a noise of frustration left him when he came to the conclusion that as far as he could see, nothing was amiss with his car. Then again, he didn't know all that much about cars and clearly something was wrong with it, considering it refused to start.

"Really, after nearly eleven years you're giving up on me?" he muttered darkly and stood in front of the car for a little while longer until he clenched his teeth and slammed the hood shut, leaning his hands on it; the ice cold metal unforgiving against his skin.

Sure, he had had problems with his before – it was inevitable, given its age – but he had never had it happen that his car refused to start at all.

Shit, what was he going to do now?

Loud ringing suddenly cut through the air and he fumbled a bit – thrown off guard by the unexpected sound – before he extracted his phone out of his pocket.

"I just got a call from Itachi," Sasuke said without preamble. "Uchiha Corporations will be celebrating its 200th anniversary next Friday and he asked whether we will attend it."

Briefly distracted, Naruto questioned curiously, "Do you want to go?"

Sasuke wasn't fond of gatherings at all and that was putting it mildly. The blond couldn't imagine his husband cheerily attending this particular event.

Sasuke sighed gustily. "I'm sorry, did I say he asked? It was more like he demanded – well, threatened covers what he did better – that we attend." Irritation cloaked his voice heavily.

"I suppose a few hours won't hurt," Naruto chuckled. Itachi would just keep pestering until they gave in anyway. Deidara would most likely not give them a chance to refuse either. "Can't be that bad."

The Alpha grunted, obviously disagreeing, before he asked out of the blue, "What's wrong?"

"What?" Naruto uttered surprised, not having expected the question.

"You sound off. What happened? Are you okay?" Sasuke asked sharply.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just – my car broke down and I still have to bring Kei to the day care and go to work. My car just won't start, damn it!"

"I can come pick you two up and drop you off," Sasuke immediately suggested.

"No, you'll have your first patient soon," the Omega sighed and scratched the back of his head. "I guess I'll just stay home today and call someone to pick up my car. I'll warn the day care as well that Kei won't be attending today."

"If you're sure," Sasuke muttered. "I'll make a call to the garage; I know someone who'll be able to figure out what's wrong with your car."

"All right," Naruto said and went around to get Kei out of the car. "I'll see you tonight then."

"Hm, love you."

"Love you too."

Kei blinked up at him when he opened his seatbelt. "Daddy?" he wondered curiously and looked around, obviously confused as to why they weren't driving to the day care.

"We're going to spend the day together, sweetie," Naruto smiled and helped his son step out of the car. "What do you say of watching a movie?"

Kei grinned delighted. "Yes, daddy!"

At least someone was happy.

"So, what's wrong with it?" Naruto inquired three days later.

Sasuke had taken the afternoon off to drive Naruto to the garage so they could finally find out how bad the damage to the blond's car was.

He hoped it would be fixed soon; he felt a bit guilty having to rely on his husband to drive him to work and Kei to the day care before driving both of them back home during the late afternoon. Sasuke had assured him he didn't mind it at all, but the Omega was uncomfortable with the thought that he was keeping the doctor from his work.

The man, who had introduced himself as Hidan, a follower of Jashin – whatever that was supposed to mean – slammed the hood of the car shut and looked grimly.

"What the hell is not wrong with it?" he snorted. "The spark plugs are definitely the reason why your car won't start, but to put it bluntly: your car is ready for the scrap iron. There are more things wrong with it than right and it baffles the fuck out of me that you were able to drive this shit for so long."

Naruto crossed his arms, feeling offended at the flippant and rude remark. His car was not shit!

"Can't you fix it?" he asked stiffly.

Hidan grinned and shook his head, impatiently stroking back a lock of his silver grey hair. "Sure, I can try, but it would be a fucking waste of money and frankly my time as well, because you'll be back here in no time with this piece of junk. My advice? Buy a new one. You clearly needed a new car years ago, dude."

Naruto growled angrily and stalked out of the garage lest he be tempted to punch the sniggering bastard in his face; pissed off at the way things had unfolded. Not to mention he didn't appreciate the way Hidan talked about his car at all.

He ended up in front of Sasuke's car, staring despondently at the shining metal. He knew that his car was quite old and to be honest, he had spent a lot of money on it already to keep it running, so it shouldn't come as a surprise now that his car had finally given up on him. But it was his car, damn it! He had bought it after months of saving parts of his pay check; he had worked for it for months and he had been so proud when the seller handed over the keys.

To have to give it up now …

He knew he shouldn't feel so sad about a simple car, but he couldn't help it. Maybe the damn pregnancy hormones were messing with him, but his eyes stung with the threat of unshed tears at the realisation that he would have to say goodbye to his car. God, he could be so pathetic at times.

Arms slipped around his waist, right when he was rubbing over his eyes, praying to whatever deity was up there that he wouldn't break down in front of the garage.

"Hey, you okay?" Sasuke asked softly, pressing his chest against Naruto's back; a comforting presence.

The blond took a shuddering breath, clenching his hands inside his sleeves. "Yeah," he croaked, wincing at the sound. "I'm fine. Just … I hoped my car could still be fixed, you know?" He let out a shrill chuckle before he sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm stupid. I know it's just a car, but …"

"Hey, don't worry about it," Sasuke muttered and pressed a soft kiss in the back of the Omega's neck. "You're not stupid, okay? Lots of people get attached to their car."

Naruto wasn't quite certain whether that was the truth, but he wasn't about to start arguing about it either; simply choosing to lean back against the Alpha, pulling his arms closer around him. Their baby kicked hard enough to be felt through the layers of clothing the blond was wearing and he felt himself relax a bit.

"Let's go pick up Kei from my parents' house, hm?" Sasuke suggested after a short bout of silence. "We'll figure out what to do after that."

The Omega sighed, but nodded his acquiescence, slipping out of his mate's hold, so he could get into the car.

It wasn't like he had much choice.

"We are not going to buy a new car, Sasuke," Naruto hissed when he finally realised where Sasuke had driven them to after asking him whether he wanted to buy a new car, now that his old one had officially been sent to the junkyard.

"You said you wanted to buy a new car," Sasuke pointed out and frowned, shutting off the engine once he had parked.

"Yes, but I was planning on buying one second hand!" Naruto replied exasperatedly and gestured wildly at the building in front of them. "And even if I was planning on buying a new one, it certainly wouldn't be a freaking Mercedes!"

This time it was Sasuke's turn to look at him with exasperation. "Why not? It's a decent car."

"It's way too expensive!"

"It's not like I wouldn't be able to afford it, you know that."

"You're not buying me a freaking Mercedes, Sasuke, we already had this discussion before!" Naruto hissed, trying to keep the volume down, so they wouldn't disturb their sleeping son in the back of the car. It was a bit difficult, though, because Sasuke insisted on being so stubborn. How many times had they had this particular argument already? It didn't feel right to just accept a car from the Alpha, even if they were married. A car was way too expensive to simply accept, but that was something the dark haired man didn't seem to grasp.

Sasuke sighed and tapped his fingers against the steering wheel, before he rolled his shoulders. "Well, I'm going to buy a new one," he said determined and went to open the door.

"Didn't I just say I don't want one?" Naruto snapped and clutched the Alpha's arm in an attempt to stop him.

"Yes, you told me loud and clear," Sasuke replied dryly and glanced at him. "But since we're here now, I might as well take a look and see if they have one to my liking."

"What? But you already have this car!" Blue eyes stared at the other man perplexed.

Sasuke shrugged, as if it was no big deal. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't buy a new car, right?" he retorted calmly.

"But what are you going to do with this car then?" Was Sasuke serious about this? One look at his face gave the blond his answer: Sasuke was really intending to buy a new car, despite having one that still worked perfectly. "It's not like you're having problems with it, right?"

"No, but I've been meaning to buy a Mercedes for quite some time now. I just never found a good opportunity until now."

"But, but … You're just going to let it rust in the garage?" Naruto looked at him scandalized; his mind still trying to wrap itself around the thought that his mate was going to buy a new car for the hell of it.

"Well, yeah, unless you want it?" Dark eyes regarded him questioningly.

Immediately suspicion sank in. "Was this your plan all along?" Naruto asked and narrowed his eyes, finally lowering his hand back to his lap.

Sasuke chuckled amused and shook his head. "This is not some nefarious plan to get you a decent car, Naruto, relax. I just figured that since I'm going to buy a new car, you might want this one. Otherwise it's just going to sit in the garage."

Silence reigned for a while until the Omega huffed and looked out of the window with a slight scowl marring his face. "Fine, I'm taking this car. But just because I think it's ridiculous that you're going to place a perfectly working car in the garage for no reason at all!"

"Of course," Sasuke smirked and kissed his cheek quickly. "Now are you going to join me in my quest for my own car?"

"Fine," Naruto snorted and rolled his eyes. He still suspected that Sasuke had planned this, but since he couldn't prove anything, he wasn't going to make a fuss about it. That would only tire him out and frustrate him and he could do without all that.

Besides, he supposed begrudgingly as they made their way to the entrance of the building, the car isn't that bad.

At the very least it would be a while before that one broke down too. Silver linings and all that.

"So I take it you finally convinced Naruto-kun to get a decent car?" Itachi raised an eyebrow and smirked amused at the exasperated face of his younger brother.

"Yeah, though he kept fighting with me about it until the end," Sasuke grunted and took a sip from his whiskey. "He eventually agreed to take over my BMW, though you'd think I'd forced him to do that. All I wanted was for him to drive in something that is not a death trap! He's nearly six months pregnant; all I could think of was that he would get into an accident with that old car of his."

"Well, he has always been stubborn," Itachi said lightly and leant back in his chair. He thanked everything above that his own mate wasn't so stubborn when it came to cars and his safety.

Sasuke snorted and looked away, muttering almost too low for the older man to hear him, "Thanks for helping me with it, by the way. I appreciate it."

"Any time, otouto, any time."

Hidan had owed him a favour anyway. The least he could do was cash it in as a way to give his little brother some peace of mind.

"This means of course that I can expect to see you at the celebration party this Friday."

"God damn it, Itachi!"

He wasn't above calling in the favours his little brother owed him either.
