Thanks to the following reviewer: smint45

Chapter 16
"You okay?"
A glass with cool water appeared in his vision and he accepted it gratefully, taking careful sips as he leant against the wall. The cool water slid down his throat, soothing the sore tissue and he rubbed his forehead, grimacing at the sweat caked on his skin.
"Define 'okay'," he rasped and slowly sat up, pausing when his vision wavered dangerously for a few seconds. As soon as he was certain that he wouldn't topple over, he straightened up, placing the nearly empty glass on the sink.
Dark eyes studied him with concern lurking in their depths. "I suppose that was a stupid question," the Alpha concurred wryly and offered the blond a damp washcloth.
Naruto grunted, wiping the sweat off his face with the cloth. "I guess I should be happy I don't have to deal with this every day," he muttered, a bit sourly, and threw the washcloth in the basket.
"I have it on good authority that Deidara is rather jealous that you don't experience morning sickness that much," Sasuke said dryly.
Blue eyes rolled and Naruto grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste, eager to get the lingering vile taste of bile out of his mouth. He might not have to deal with the nausea every day, but that didn't make the moments he did experience it any better.
As soon as he was done rinsing his mouth, Sasuke turned him around and tugged him closer, dipping his head down to kiss him on his lips.
Naruto hummed, returning the kiss for a few seconds before he reluctantly pulled back as his stomach made it quite clear that it was demanding food right now.
Sasuke chuckled, loosening his grip. "Let's go downstairs. I'm pretty sure your cats are this close to scratching the furniture if they don't get their food soon."
"They'll behave," Naruto promised, but followed his mate out of the bathroom, silently hoping that Shukaku or Kurama wasn't currently climbing onto the counters in search of their food.
"There's something we need to discuss," Sasuke started as Naruto rooted around in the fridge in search for eggs and butter.
"What?" he asked absentmindedly, carrying his small loot to the counter where he retrieved a pan.
"We need to find a doctor to perform your check-ups," Sasuke explained, turning on the coffee machine. "You're due for your first check-up soon."
Naruto frowned and looked up from the eggs he was whisking in the pan. "What? Why? You're a doctor; why don't you perform the check-ups?" he questioned bewildered.
A sigh left the older man and he stepped behind Naruto, slipping his arms around his waist, ignoring Shukaku's reproachful mewl at still not having received his food. "Rules state that I can't perform check-ups on my own mate," he murmured, mouthing at the sliver of skin that was exposed by Naruto's shirt having slipped down. "Stupid rule, I know, but it is what it is. So we're going to have to find someone else."
The blond frowned, staring down at the pan where the eggs were turning into an omelette. He didn't like the idea of someone else examining him; just imagining the touch of someone else on his skin in that manner made his skin crawl and he barely repressed the urge to shiver. He wanted Sasuke to perform the examinations; it was their baby, why wasn't he allowed to do it? It would make things so much easier.
"Hey," the Alpha broke through his thoughts softly and hands caressed up and down over Naruto's sides underneath his shirt. "I know you don't like it; I don't like it either. But we don't have any choice."
"I know that," Naruto muttered, turning down the fire underneath the pan with a sigh; disappointment filling him. "I just wanted you to do the examinations."
"Me too," Sasuke murmured and his fingers momentarily tightened around Naruto's hips before they relaxed again. "We'll look for one after breakfast, okay?"
Naruto nodded, slightly grimacing. He was not looking forward to seeking another doctor.
Stupid damn rules.
Naruto still wasn't entirely sure whether this was a good idea. A wave of apprehension attacked him as he studied the building on his right while Sasuke manoeuvred the car into the narrow parking space. Two weeks after they had decided to seek out a new doctor, they had found one after a lot of discussion.
They had decided to ask Sasuke's previous mentor Hatake Kakashi whether he wanted to accept Naruto as his patient. The older man had his practice in the middle of the city and the traffic had been horrendous. Sasuke hadn't told him much about Kakashi; only that he had been some sort of mentor to the dark haired man, that his record of being on time was shit and that he had a penchant for porn novels.
Naruto was already ill at ease at the thought that someone else but his mate would be examining him and hearing those little titbits about the other doctor didn't exactly endear him to the Omega.
But, he reassured himself as he removed his belt and stepped out of the car, grimacing as the burning sun hit his skin relentlessly, as long as Kakashi is professional, it'll be fine.
After all, the man couldn't be that bad; Sasuke wouldn't have considered him as some sort of mentor otherwise.
The receptionist – a curly dark haired Beta who smiled at them friendly when they arrived at her desk – waved them through, assuring them that Kakashi-sensei would come get them soon.
Nobody else was present in the waiting room; two rows of seven chairs were placed against pale blue walls and in the middle there was a wooden table with tattered magazines piled on top of it. Some magazines had been discarded on a chair and the cold air from the air-conditioning made the pages flutter.
Feeling inexplicably jittery, Naruto sat down on a chair and started to browse through one of the old magazines; his foot moving up and down quickly as he took a deep breath and released it slowly.
Sasuke sat down next to him and a hand came to rest in his neck, squeezing him gently. "You okay?" the Alpha murmured; his thumb caressing the blond's pulse.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," Naruto sighed, forcing himself to still his foot. "Just a bit … I don't know."
"It'll be fine," Sasuke reassured him, leaning back into the chair. "If you don't like him, we'll just search another doctor, no big deal. It's not like he's our last choice. I know a couple of others who can accept you as their patient."
The Omega nodded, but couldn't help but fidget slightly as they waited for the door of Kakashi's office to open.
Twenty minutes after their appointment was supposed to start – time which Naruto had spent chattering about Jiraiya's newest attempt to woo a blonde doctor and subsequently landing himself in the hospital with a concussion – the door suddenly creaked open and a man with shockingly white silver hair and – oddly – a black mask covering the lower half of his face leant through the gap and blinked when he caught sight of the couple.
Recognition lit up in his dark eyes and he scratched his head. "Sasuke-kun, you're early," the man greeted and the corners of his eyes crinkled, indicating he was smiling.
"You're late as usual," Sasuke said sharply and rose up, Naruto hastily standing up as well. "Would it fucking kill you to be on time for once?"
"Maah, Sasuke-kun, that's no way to talk to your previous mentor, you know," the older Alpha admonished him, waving his finger chidingly. "That's my thanks for helping you out when you called me?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes, annoyance practically radiating from him. "Let's just start, all right? We have better things to do than standing around here."
Dark eyes shifted to Naruto and the blond stiffened underneath the appraising gaze. "Yeah, I can imagine what," the man, Kakashi, replied amused and raised his hands when a threatening growl escaped Sasuke's throat. "Relax, I'm not going to do anything. Can't I have some harmless fun?"
"Kakashi," Sasuke warned tersely and the other man rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes, come on in, damn spoilsport," Kakashi complained and waved them inside, disappearing into the room.
Kakashi's practice didn't differ that much from Sasuke's, Naruto noted when he warily stepped inside. It seemed a bit bigger and behind the desk there was a bookcase filled with what appeared to be novels and a couple of thick medicine books.
"Not that there's still any question about it, but I'm Hatake Kakashi," Kakashi introduced himself and stuck out his hand.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto said and shook the offered hand. He raised an eyebrow when the Alpha studied him with something akin to bafflement and amusement in his eyes. "What?" he questioned defensively.
"Nothing. I'm just a tad surprised to meet you – seeing as Sasuke hasn't had a partner in so long," Kakashi hummed and sat down behind his desk, gesturing they should take the seats in front of it. "I was already starting to wonder whether he was planning on marrying his work."
"Shut up, I'm not that bad," Sasuke grumbled, scowling.
Naruto hid a smile, recalling how Deidara had complained about Sasuke working too many hours various times. When the blond had pointed out that Sasuke had come home on reasonable hours since he had started to live with him, Deidara had looked at him baffled, clearly not believing him until he had been there to see it with his own eyes a few weeks ago. Deidara had made it a point to profusely thank Naruto for getting through Sasuke's thick skull – not that Naruto actually had done something, because he had never made a remark about Sasuke's hours.
Kakashi threw the dark haired man an unimpressed look. "Uhuh. Well, either way, you're here because Naruto-san is pregnant, right?" He shuffled through some papers, which Naruto thought belonged to his file, humming to himself. "I take it you want to find out how far along he is?"
"Yes, we know I'm further than two months along, but we don't know the exact amount of weeks," Naruto explained, rubbing the back of his neck. Butterflies fluttered around in his stomach when he thought about the small being growing inside of him; just a bit longer and they would find out just how far along he was.
"Okay, and you're all right with me doing the check-up?" Kakashi looked at him expectantly.
Naruto shrugged, smiling wryly. "No offense, Kakashi-sensei, but it's not like I have much choice, right?"
The man clucked his tongue. "I wouldn't say that; I'm not the only doctor who can perform check-ups and if you don't feel comfortable with me, I wouldn't hold it against you if you decided to pick another doctor."
Oddly that was what made Naruto relax; he hadn't known what to think about Kakashi, but the fact that he was so flippant about Naruto possibly not feeling comfortable with him set him a bit more at ease. He hadn't wanted to offend the older man, but he also hadn't wanted to be uncomfortable during all the check-ups. He already was somewhat troubled by the fact that Sasuke wasn't allowed to do the check-ups; he didn't think he could handle being uncomfortable around a new doctor for his entire pregnancy.
"Well then, if you're ready, you can lie down on the table and I'll gather the equipment," Kakashi said brightly, snapping on some plastic gloves. He glanced at Sasuke. "I'm assuming that you're taking care of everything else like the more physical examinations such as his weight and blood pressure?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, but nodded. "Yes, I'm taking care of that. It's only the ultrasounds and such that I'm not allowed to do."
Privately Naruto thought that Sasuke wasn't even allowed to do the regular examinations like checking his blood pressure now that they were in a relationship, but he wasn't about to protest.
"Good thing you have your mentor to help you out," Kakashi stated cheerfully, walking to the other side of the room to drag the monitor to the table. "Although I wouldn't mind taking over the complete check-up, considering that's also in my job description. Don't want people to think I'm getting lazy, you know."
Sasuke looked ready to throw something at the older Alpha, but followed Naruto to the table; only throwing a glower in Kakashi's direction and muttering something darkly underneath his breath.
This is going to be fun, Naruto thought, wary amusement filling him.
"Naruto-san, please bare your stomach," Kakashi instructed and as soon as Naruto had done that, he applied cold gel to his stomach, causing goose bumps to rise all over Naruto's arms and back. Kakashi must have caught the tiny shiver running through Naruto, because he said apologetically, "Sorry, the gel is always this cold."
"It's fine," Naruto muttered; the cold, sticky liquid slowly warming up on his stomach.
Kakashi flicked on the monitor and placed the transducer on Naruto's belly. "Okay, let's start," he murmured and slowly moved the transducer over the Omega's belly, pausing at random intervals as he studied the screen.
Naruto turned his head to look at the screen as well, but he had no idea what the hell he was supposed to look at; it all just looked like a moving mass of black and grey. Sasuke – having the advantage of actually knowing how the thing worked – uttered a small sound and when Naruto looked at him, something in him warmed at the sight of the softened look on Sasuke's face.
"Guess you can already see it, Sasuke-kun; Naruto-san, you're currently eleven weeks pregnant," Kakashi announced and pointed at a tiny, light grey blob near the middle of the screen. "See that here? That's your baby."
"It's so tiny," Naruto murmured awed; his eyes transfixed at the grey spot. That was his baby? That tiny spot?
"For the moment, yes. Wait until the baby gets big enough to kick," Kakashi chuckled. "If you want, I can print some copies for you."
"Yes, please," Sasuke replied and his hand enveloped Naruto's; their fingers tangled together.
Naruto wanted to answer, but there was suddenly a lump in his throat as he continued to gaze at the screen and his sight became a bit fuzzy. That was really his baby there, growing inside of him. This was actually happening. No more just dreaming about it; it was actually real now.
It took an embarrassingly long time before he could rip his gaze away and accept the towel to clean his stomach with, but neither Alpha said anything to rush him. Discreetly he wiped away the few tears that had escaped and took a shuddering breath, glancing up at Sasuke as he pulled his shirt back down.
Judging by the slightly dazed look on Sasuke's face, he had been in the same frame of mind as Naruto and he squeezed the Alpha's hand; smiling when he received a soft squeeze back.
Their hands were still tangled together when they accepted the copies from a smiling Kakashi.
"So, do you want Kakashi to be your doctor?" Sasuke asked when they got into the car ten minutes later.
Blue eyes gazed down at the envelope with copies of the ultrasound – one of the most precious things he had ever held in his hands. "Yeah," Naruto smiled softly, placing a hand on his stomach. "I'm okay with having him as my doctor."
Not even the last remaining hint of discomfort at having somebody else but his mate performing his check-ups could diminish the immense joy and love that rushed through him as he looked at the ultrasound.
Blue met black and they shared a sweet kiss before they drove away.
Back to their home.
AN2: The real teasing of Kakashi started afterwards LOL
Please let me know what you thought about it; if you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
