Author's note: Many apologies for taking more than a month to update! *winces* I had hoped to update before my exams started, but clearly that was not the case *clears throat* I hope you can forgive my absence!
I'm not particularly happy with this chapter, to be honest, but I could only rewrite it so many times *sighs* Sorry if it's crappy, guys; I promise I'll do better with my next chapter!
Thanks to the following reviewer: smint45
Warnings: set around a month after the discovery of the pregnancy; MPreg; Naruto's pov; Naruto being emotional and some angst (again, I have no idea how people would react in his situation; I don't mean to offend anyone)
Dedicated to: Guest
I hope you'll like it!
Chapter 13
12th of July
"Don't judge me; the weather is too hot, okay?" Naruto grumbled as he stepped out of the shower, dripping all over the floor, while Shukaku stared at him from his spot in the doorway. His cat seemed to judge him for taking his second cold shower of that day, creating the urge to splash his judgemental pet with some cold water. Only the thought that Shukaku would find a way to take revenge – a cat's revenge was nothing to scoff at, damn it! – kept him from doing so and he padded out of the bathroom, wrapping a towel around his hips; side stepping the grey haired cat, who flicked his tail against his leg before he ran downstairs.
The loud yowl that followed soon let the Omega know that his cats were fighting with each other again. Rolling his eyes – he was so not going to attempt to pull those two apart; he valued his skin, thank you very much – he entered the large bedroom where he had been sleeping now for almost five months.
The curtains were drawn almost shut, only allowing a thin ray of sunshine to slip between the folds and illuminate the room a bit. The sun hadn't had a chance to really warm up the room, so the air was still relatively cool and Naruto revelled in it. Maybe he should just remain here for the rest of the day; it wasn't as if he had anything urgent to do. Yeah, flopping down on the bed and just stay there sounded lovely.
Maybe he could even convince Sasuke to order takeout for tonight. Hell, if he played his cards right, he might even be able to convince the older man to get ramen! It had been weeks since he had had ramen – ever since they had discovered that he was pregnant, Sasuke had started fussing about his eating habits, banning ramen as it was considered too unhealthy for him. Naruto had thought the Alpha had been joking when he told him that ramen was banned for the remainder of his pregnancy – and even longer if Sasuke had his way – but he had quickly discovered that one didn't negotiate with a concerned, fussy father-to-be.
Rummaging through the drawers, he quickly threw a thin T-shirt and a boxer short on the bed before he removed the last clinging water drops of his chest with the damp towel.
As he slipped on the boxer short, he looked down casually and froze, his fingers still resting on the elastic band. Fingers trembled as they slowly travelled over the small bump which had been slowly growing over the past few weeks.
Of course he had been aware that his stomach was no longer flat – he had been having trouble with closing the button of some of his tight jeans – but this was the first time he actually took really notice of the fact that he was now sporting a real bump. A real belly in which his baby was growing for four months already.
The proof that he was pregnant was tangible now, right underneath his fingertips and something seemed to constrict around his lungs and he swayed back and forth until his legs gave out and he plopped down onto the bed.
There was really a baby inside of him now. A real baby.
He knew he was being ridiculous; he had known for two months that he was pregnant, ever since he had taken the pregnancy test at Deidara's house. But for some reason it only seemed to click now that he was expecting a child. Feeling the small bump underneath his hands made it all feel so real.
After so many months of trying with Gaara, after so many negative tests, after feeling so empty for so long, his mind had a hard time grasping the fact that he was really pregnant now. When he had taken the test, with the result staring right back at him, it had still felt so abstract, so odd to acknowledge the fact that he was carrying a baby. In fact, aside from the occasional bout of nausea and the test result, it was easy to forget that there was life growing inside of him. For nearly three months nothing had been visible after all.
But now … Now that he could actually cup his stomach, see the gentle swelling …
The thought that from now on his belly would continue to swell with life, – something he despaired would never happen to him – that he would be able to feel his baby moving inside of him and hold him or her when she was born …
The thought that he would actually become a parent after so many months of failing …
Against his will tears welled up and his vision blurred; a hiccup escaped him as he hid his face behind his hands, his cheeks becoming uncomfortably warm.
"Damn it," he whispered underneath his breath and tried to calm down. Why the fuck was he crying? Just seeing his belly shouldn't make him feel so unbalanced!
A – rather mortifying and unmanly – yelp escaped him when his ringtone suddenly started blaring at full volume. Flailing around, his hand scrambled over the nightstand until he closed it around the madly vibrating phone; the screen was flashing "Sasuke calling". Ripping the charger out of it, he hastily accepted the call.
"Yeah?" Naruto muttered, forcing a cheerful tone, and rubbed the back of his hand over his eyes. Shuddering breaths still ran through him and he tried to keep the hitching of his breath inaudible. There was no need to alarm his Alpha, merely because he was being ridiculous.
"There was an emergency this afternoon, so I'll be home an hour later today," Sasuke informed him, sounding a tad harried.
"That's fine, no problem," Naruto replied and shrugged. He had waited longer for Gaara sometimes, so an extra hour wait wasn't that bad.
A beat of silence passed. "Are you all right?" Sasuke inquired, slow as if he was trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong with the blond.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Naruto sighed and then sniffed, rubbing off the last few stray tears.
"You don't sound fine," the Alpha hedged and Naruto could easily imagine the frown creasing his forehead.
"Don't worry about it," the blond retorted flippantly. Embarrassment was still simmering inside of him at how easily he had started crying, merely because he was finally seeing physical evidence of his pregnancy.
"Naruto."
"It's just … I just, you know, noticed that – that I actually have a belly now, you know?" Naruto muttered and stared unseeingly at the floor. He flexed his toes in the soft carpet and sighed, letting out a watery chuckle. "I – it's stupid, I know, but it's like – my bump really proves there's a baby now. I'm – I'm not dreaming this. I – I know it's silly, but it's like I finally realised it's not a dream, you know? I'm actually really pregnant." Some tears started dripping down his cheeks and he brought his fist in front of his mouth, muffling his next words, "There's actually – I'm really having a baby and I didn't think that would ever happen after all those months …" He trailed off and took a deep, shuddering breath. "Sorry, ju-just ignore me. I don't know why I'm crying about this. It's stupid." He laughed self-deprecatingly.
"You're not stupid, Naruto," Sasuke murmured. "It's normal to feel like that after the months you've had. Nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Says the one not crying like a baby," Naruto huffed, but he felt a bit calmer already at hearing the soothing voice of his mate.
"I'm coming home, okay?"
"What? Wait, no, you don't need to do that!" the Omega protested; his fingers curling around the sheets. "I'll be fine, honest!"
"It's just some files I need to look at, but I can do that at home as well," Sasuke replied lightly.
"Seriously, Sasuke, you don't need to - "
"Naruto, I'll be there with you in half an hour," Sasuke stated and hung up before the blond could utter another word.
"This was so not how I thought this afternoon would go," Naruto muttered and threw his phone back on the nightstand before he let himself fall back onto the bed.
One hand covered his belly and unwillingly a small smile played around his lips.
Crying and having Sasuke return home earlier wasn't how he envisioned his afternoon to go, no, but something in him warmed at the thought that Sasuke would willingly leave his work earlier just to be with him.
When Sasuke settled into the bed next to him exactly thirty minutes later, his slightly bigger hand covering Naruto's on his belly, the blond smiled and burrowed his face in the Alpha's shoulder, breathing in his comforting scent.
As he felt Sasuke nosing his neck gently and his fingers trail up and down over his bump, Naruto decided that he really liked how his day ended.
Together with Sasuke. Their baby growing underneath their hands.
AN2: Short I know, but like I said, I really had trouble with this one for some reason :/
