Chapter 18: Part 1
A foot pressed harshly against his kidney and Naruto grunted, rubbing soothingly over his belly.
"You okay?" Dark eyes regarded him sharply and a pale hand hovered above his stomach.
The Omega offered him a reassuring smile. "Yes, I'm fine. The baby just kicked me a bit harder than I expected," he murmured and dropped his hand with a sigh, shifting around on the couch until he found a more comfortable position.
In just a few weeks he would be giving birth to their second son and he yearned for that day to arrive soon. He loved being pregnant, feeling their baby tumble and fuss around in him, but the extra weight was taxing on his back and the hot June weather didn't help matters. At this point he was practically fed up with the extra weight he was carrying and he just wanted to hold his baby son in his arms.
"Maybe I should stay here," Sasuke said; a frown creasing his forehead as he hovered near his mate.
Cerulean blue eyes rolled and Naruto gave him a soft push against his shoulder. "Go," he stressed, waving him off. "I'll be fine. It's not like you're going to be gone for the entire day."
"But what if you go into labour?" the Alpha fussed, stubbornly refusing to move.
"I still have three weeks to go," Naruto retorted, absentmindedly patting the top of his belly. "It's not like Kei was born early."
The three year old in question looked up from his jigsaw puzzle briefly and grinned at Naruto before he became distracted again by the various pieces laying in front of him.
"You know that not every baby is the same," Sasuke snipped, narrowing his eyes. "It's not because you were past your due date with Kei that it's going to be same now."
"Sasuke, seriously, I'll be fine." Naruto scowled, accepting the glass with cold lemonade from Mikoto with a distracted smile. "Why are you being so difficult now?"
"I'm difficult?" the dark haired man repeated incredulously. "Who is the difficult - "
"Sasuke, dear, arguing isn't good for Naruto-kun," Mikoto reprimanded her son; her hands on her hips. "If Naruto-kun says he'll be fine, he'll be fine. Stop worrying. We'll be back soon anyway."
"I still don't understand why I have to come with you," Sasuke grumbled, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
She huffed. "Because I'm not in the mood to keep arguing with that pharmacist and he'll shut up and give me my medicine if you're with me. It's not like he can possibly argue with a doctor after all," she scoffed, clearly put out at the behaviour of her pharmacist. She released a sigh, snatching her purse from the table. "Sometimes it's really a curse looking so young. They never believe me when I say I'm past forty already."
Naruto hid a grin behind his glass. Mikoto had complained to him a few times before that her pharmacist acted quite difficult about her suppressions. The pills had to be adjusted once a person had passed forty years old – something to do with the way the body reacted to the chemicals, though Naruto had never really understood that part – but as Mikoto still had a youthful face – easily passing for someone in her early thirties – a lot of people didn't believe her when she told them her real age. Including her pharmacist apparently.
Sasuke pursed his lips together, but gave in with a put out sigh. He bent down and pressed a kiss against Naruto's lips. "I'll be back soon," he promised; his gaze softening as he caressed the blond's bulging tummy.
"I know," Naruto murmured, giving the pale hand a quick squeeze. "I love you."
"Love you too," Sasuke smiled and then addressed Kei, tousling his unruly hair. "Be a good boy for daddy and grandfather, okay?"
"I pwomise, papa," Kei muttered, stumbling as always over the 'r' sound.
"Still haven't left?" Fugaku entered the living room, raising an eyebrow.
"We're leaving now, dear," Mikoto smiled, standing on her tiptoes to give him a kiss.
Sasuke shared a cool nod with his father and Naruto checked a sigh, placing his glass on the coffee table. Even after all those years there wasn't much improvement in the bond between Sasuke and Fugaku. They had started talking more – partly thanks to Naruto who dragged Sasuke with him to most of the family functions – but Sasuke's occupation still formed a wall between the two men. Silently the Omega wondered whether there would ever come a day when Fugaku would completely accept his youngest son. How long could one resent his son for not following in his footsteps? Looking at Fugaku, apparently quite long.
The closing of the front door jarred Naruto out of his thoughts and he blinked, looking up surprised when he felt the couch dipping slightly.
"Fugaku-san," he murmured, his hand still on his stomach. He hadn't expected the older man to remain in the room. He knew that Fugaku often worked from home – he had his own office in the large house – and had assumed that the Alpha would hole himself up there while he remained downstairs with Kei.
If it had been Naruto's call, he wouldn't even be here now; it had been Sasuke who decided that he felt more comfortable if Naruto stayed with someone while he accompanied his mother to the pharmacy. Itachi and Deidara were on a family trip with their sons this weekend, so he couldn't stay with them and Sasuke had been adamant that he stayed at his parents' home. Why Naruto simply couldn't stay with one of his friends was a mystery, but the blond suspected it had a lot to do with the fact that Sasuke felt more at ease if his mate was surrounded by family – even if that meant Fugaku staying with him.
"How are you feeling?" Fugaku inquired; his dark eyes flickering towards the Omega's stomach.
"I'm fine," Naruto replied with a faint smile; his own gaze straying towards his belly. "The baby is more active today. He's convinced that my kidneys are his personal punching bag."
The corners of the Alpha's mouth faintly rose up and slowly he reached out with his hand. "Do you mind?" he asked; a flash of uncertainty crossing his face.
Naruto shook his head. "Go ahead," he answered good-naturedly, dropping his own hand on the couch.
A few seconds later Fugaku placed his own hand on top of his belly; a look of concentration on his face as he waited for his grandson to kick.
That was the most interesting thing about Fugaku if you asked Naruto. While he still seemed at odds with his son about the latter's profession, he seemed quite accepting of Naruto as his son's mate and he took to being a grandfather with a fervour that still took the blond by surprise at times. He had seen Fugaku playing with Deidara's sons on occasions, naturally, so he knew that the man adored his grandchildren, but he hadn't thought that the older man would accept Kei the same way he had accepted Akihito and Shion. For one, he and Sasuke more often than not clashed about Sasuke being a doctor. Then there was the fact that Kei had been an accident and Naruto hadn't been Sasuke's mate for that long before the boy was born. The blond had genuinely feared that Fugaku would disapprove of him precisely because he hadn't broken up with Gaara for that long before he started a relationship with Sasuke. It didn't exactly look good to break up with one guy, only to end up pregnant not even a month later from another guy.
If Fugaku disapproved of him, though, he was remarkably good at hiding it. The man often conversed with him about his job and sometimes even divulged childhood stories of both Itachi and Sasuke if he was in a really good mood. He treated Kei like he treated Akihito and Shion and he had reacted enthusiastically – well, in his own way – when Sasuke informed him that Naruto was expecting a second child.
"I'm going to be a grandfather again?" Fugaku asked; a hint of amazement accentuating his voice as his eyes widened slightly.
"Yes, Naruto is three months pregnant," Sasuke answered and even his father's presence couldn't diminish the giddiness in his voice as he proudly embraced his mate, who was expecting their second child.
Naruto smiled; a blush colouring his cheeks as he placed two hands on his stomach.
"Looks like we're going to need more chairs for Christmas dinner in the future, Mikoto," Fugaku said; the corners of his mouth pulling up slightly.
"I predict a future in kickboxing," Fugaku murmured dryly as the baby kicked harshly against his hand.
"That or soccer," Naruto snorted, wincing when another punch was delivered straight to his bladder. Damn it, if the kid kept it up like that, he would need to go to the toilet – again.
"How's the puzzle going, Kei-kun?" Fugaku inquired, shifting his attention from the blond to the little boy sitting in front of him on the floor.
Kei frowned and smacked his hand against one of the few pieces left. "No fit, gwandpa," he complained and snatched the offending piece off the floor, waving it furiously around.
Fugaku grabbed his hand gently to prevent being stabbed in the face by a puzzle piece and clucked his tongue. "Well, we can't have that, right? Here, I'll help you."
Instantly the young boy's face brightened up and he shuffled a bit backwards, creating space for his grandfather to sit on the floor, which the older man did without protest.
Moments like this Naruto really wished he had a camera with him.
"So, how's the weekend trip going?" Naruto asked, leaning back against the counter as he sipped from his ice cold tea. Outside, in the garden, Kei squealed as he ran after a ball; Fugaku waiting with an indulgent look on his face near one of the trees. Really, that man was just one big softie when it concerned his grandchildren.
"I had to hold back Itachi from ripping another father a new one when their child pushed over Shion, un," Deidara sighed and in the background a seagull cawed loudly. "I think he was legitimately thinking about ways to dispose of the body discreetly."
"You know, I'd like to think that you're joking, but I know you're serious about that," Naruto said sombrely, putting his glass down with a soft 'thunk'. "Those Uchiha men take being protective way too far."
"Itachi even bitched out the little boy," the older blond groaned dismayed. "That kid is going to have nightmares for years, un!"
Naruto grimaced, rubbing over his lower back when a stab of pain shot through his back. Damn those twinges of pain; he had been getting them more frequently since yesterday. "We're not that bad when it comes to our children, right?" At least he didn't think he had ever bitched out another child for knocking over Kei. He did have words once with a mother when her child kept taunting Kei, but he had remained relatively civilised about it. The fact that the mother had returned to her car only to be presented with a ticket was merely coincidence; stupid bint should have known that she had parked in a forbidden zone.
"We're not, un," Deidara immediately reassured him. "We remain sane. How are you holding up by the way? Sasuke-kun been driving you up the wall yet, un?" Amusement rang loud and clear through his voice.
Naruto snorted and rolled his eyes, raking a hand through his hair. "Eugh, I feel ready to pop," he groaned. "My back is killing me and my son seems intent on treating my organs like his personal punching bag. Sasuke made me stay with his father while he joins his mother to the pharmacy."
"Ah, she finally decided to bring out the big guns, un," Deidara remarked knowingly. "And Sasuke-kun left you at the manor without any problems?"
"He didn't want to leave at first," Naruto admitted begrudgingly. "It's not like anything is going to – oh fuck!" Sharp pain slashed through him and the next moment he felt liquid streaming down his legs, darkening his trousers. Blue eyes stared numbly at the quickly spreading puddle underneath him and he only became aware of the high pitched, whimpering noise he was making when Deidara's urgent voice finally broke through his panic.
"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun, what's wrong? What the hell happened? Are you okay, un?" Deidara fired off the questions, sounding more and more worried with each question he asked.
One hand clutching the phone against his ear, he placed his other hand on his stomach and felt how hard it was. The only time before his stomach had been this hard was when … No, he still had a few weeks left!
"I – my – my water broke," he stammered, still not willing to believe what was happening. He wasn't supposed to give birth today! His due date was begin July, not the first week of June!
"Okay, listen to me, Naruto-kun," Deidara spoke soothingly. "You need to hang up now, call Sasuke-kun and tell him what happened, un. Then inform Fugaku-san and tell him to call Kakashi-san. You're going to be fine, okay?"
"Okay," Naruto mumbled numbly.
"I'll tell Itachi about this and we're going to leave here. We'll be back soon, I promise, un. Now call Sasuke-kun," Deidara ordered and there was the flat beep, announcing that the call had ended.
Naruto took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm – he could do this, he had done this before; Sasuke would know what to do. People had given birth a few weeks before their due date, so everything would be fine. Everything had to be fine. – and then his breath left him in a loud hiss of a supressed groan when another wave of pain attacked him, seemingly lasting longer than the previous one. But that had to be his imagination, right? His water had just broken and while he had been in pain before – those had been minor contractions he finally realised – it was still too soon to give birth already. His latest examination had shown that his birth cannel had formed completely, but still …
"Is everything all right?" Fugaku's voice floated to him, snapping him out of the daze he had fallen in.
"I – no, my – my water just broke," the blond replied in a small voice, finally stepping out of the puddle.
Dark eyes widened a touch and the older Alpha strode over towards him. "Come on, there's a guest room nearby. Let's get you settled there while I call my son and Hatake-sama," he murmured, guiding the Omega by his arm out of the kitchen.
"Daddy?" Kei appeared in the doorway leading to the garden; his cerulean blue eyes looking at the two men curiously.
"Kei-kun, follow us," Fugaku ordered gently, beckoning the young child with his other arm. "You can stay with daddy while I call your father and your daddy's doctor."
Kei toddled behind them; his gaze fixating themselves on the tanned hand clutching a bulging belly. "Is my brother coming?" Kei questioned in awe.
"Yes, he is, sweetie," Naruto answered with a strained smile, trying to push down the panic that was threatening to overwhelm him.
All he could think was that it was way too soon; he wasn't ready yet!
"All right, sit down here," Fugaku murmured, helping the labouring blond lower himself on the bed. Swiftly the Alpha walked over to a small closet and came back with a simple pair of blue, linen trousers. "Here, pull this on. That will be more comfortable than those jeans." He coughed and turned around, taking his phone out of his pocket. "I'll call Sasuke and Hatake-sama, while you change."
As soon as the older man was in the hallway, Naruto unzipped his trousers and peeled them off with some difficulty, grimacing at the way the wet spots chafed his skin. His hands briefly lingered over his underwear, but then he resolutely pushed them down as well; there was no point in keeping those soaked through boxers on. Dropping the damp clothes on the rug next to the bed, he slipped on the trousers, but had to halt when the trousers were almost over his knees when another contraction started and he forced himself to breathe evenly through it. He finished pulling on the trousers but forewent the drawstrings. What was the point in tying those if he just had to get rid of the trousers when he was ready to give birth?
That done, he shuffled backwards on the bed, leaning against the pillows as he rubbed over his stomach.
"Daddy okay?" Kei asked worriedly, climbing onto the bed with some difficulty. He scuffled closer and carefully placed a hand on Naruto's belly, patting it curiously. "Bit hard," he offered, cocking his head to the right.
"I'm fine, sweetie," Naruto smiled, caressing blue black hair before he snatched his hand back abruptly, burrowing it into the sheets when another contraction swept over him. His toes curled into the sheets and he bowed his back a bit as he tried to deal with the sharp pain without making too much noise, not wanting to scare his son.
The pain ebbed away and he dropped his head back on the pillow, panting slightly as he felt Kei settle in next to him.
The door opened again and Fugaku slipped inside, phone still pressed against his ear. "Hatake-sama is on his way here with an ambulance," he informed the blond calmly. "I'm now calling – Sasuke? You need to come home immediately. Naruto-kun's water broke."
There was some incoherent noise and Fugaku pursed his lips before his dark eyes slid over to Naruto. "He wants to know how much time is between each contraction."
Naruto huffed, rubbing his forehead. "I don't know; not as much time as I expected," he admitted, gnawing his lower lip.
When his water broke when he was pregnant the first time there still had been quite some time between each contraction. Now the contractions seemed to come quicker – or was that merely his imagination because he was so worried now?
"Well, I think he is sufficiently freaked out," Fugaku said blankly as he pulled back his phone and stared at the darkened screen bemused.
"They're on their way here?" Naruto asked, sitting up; he rubbed his side with a grimace.
"Yes, he was already in his car when the call ended," Fugaku reassured him and pocketed the phone. "Kei-kun? How about I show you a new game with some cards while we wait for your father to arrive?"
Kei clapped his hands and grinned, scuttling across the bed to sit in front of his grandfather, who had dragged a chair to the bed.
Naruto gave him a grateful smile and the Alpha nodded back in acknowledgement.
Nearly an hour had gone by and Naruto realised with a shock that something was wrong.
The contractions had been steadily following each other up and by now his entire body was slick with sweat; his blond hair sticking to his scalp as he tried to deal with the sharp pain as best as he could. He had felt his son slowly dropping lower and lower, but he had held the hope that professional help – or even better, his mate – would arrive before he had to give birth.
No such luck.
Having gone through it once before with Kei, the Omega recognised this urgent feeling of needing to push. His son wasn't going to wait any longer; he wanted out now.
Fugaku looked at him sharply when a groan was thorn out of his throat. "Naruto-kun?" he asked apprehensively, lowering the card he had been holding up.
"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto whimpered, his fingers burying themselves like claws in the sheets, as he panted through yet another contraction. "I – the baby isn't going to wait any longer!" He wasn't proud of the panic clearly audible in his voice, but he couldn't stop himself. He needed to start pushing now; the baby was waiting to get out and Sasuke wasn't here yet! What the fuck was he supposed to do now?
"What?" For the first time since Naruto's water had broken, there was a note of panic in Fugaku's voice and the man immediately snatched his phone out of his pocket, rapidly dialling a number. "Hatake! Where the hell are you?" he snapped as soon as the person on the other end picked up.
A small pause and Fugaku hissed through his teeth. "He says the baby isn't going to wait any longer!" Another bout of silence before the Alpha abruptly said, "Just get here as soon as you can. I'm calling Sasuke."
"Kakashi-san?" Naruto inquired; apprehension filling him at the grim face of his father-in-law.
"Held up in traffic. It'll be at least another hour before he's here," Fugaku replied annoyed as he punched in the next number. "Let's pray my son is closer. Sasuke? Where on earth are you?"
Whatever Sasuke answered, it made Fugaku groan aloud and made him drag a hand across his face. "You can't be serious!"
"What? Where is he?" Naruto asked worriedly, whimpering when another wave of pain crashed over him. Yes, the baby was definitely not waiting any longer.
"They need to take another road, because the first one is blocked by construction that started just now," Fugaku replied and stood up. "How far away are you?" Dark eyes shot towards the panting blond in worry. "I don't think – Naruto-kun, how close do you think you are to pushing?"
Naruto grimaced, feeling sweat slowly slide over his temples. "I feel like I need to start pushing now!" he groaned, rubbing over his belly. The urge to spread his legs further and start pushing was becoming rather overwhelming and he feared he wouldn't be able to hold himself back for much longer.
"He says he's ready to start pushing," Fugaku relayed to Sasuke and whatever the younger Alpha replied made Fugaku pale suddenly. "What? That's your field of expertise!" he hissed and this time the panic sounded louder in his voice. "I don't know anything about that!" The man closed his eyes and sighed before nodding. "Yes, all right. I suppose there's no other solution."
"Gwandpa?" Kei inquired; his eyebrows furrowed.
"Kei-kun, can you go get your picture book from the living room?" Fugaku asked as he crossed the room and started rummaging through some drawers. "I need you to be a good boy and sit on this chair next to the bed with your book, okay? Grandpa needs to help your daddy with the baby."
Kei nodded with wide, serious eyes and clambered off the bed, rushing out of the room to grab his book.
"What? What is going to happen?" Naruto asked bewildered and then clutched his stomach tightly when the next contraction attacked him.
"Sasuke is still too far away to be able to help you immediately," Fugaku said grimly, phone still attached to his ear. He dropped several towels on the bed and took a deep breath. "So I'm going to help you while he gives directions. Give me a moment and I'll fill a basin with some water."
Any other moment and Naruto would have laughed at the mention of Fugaku – the stern, more often than not blank faced businessman – helping with the delivery of a baby, but at this moment he couldn't find anything funny. He was about to give birth a few weeks too early while both his doctor and his mate were held up on the road.
How could he have such bad luck?
"All right, Naruto-kun, we need to remove your trousers, so that – I can check your progress," Fugaku murmured and cleared his throat as he placed the basin near the end of the bed.
Kei came creeping inside the room again and instantly made a beeline to the chair which had been dragged to right in front of the nightstand now. The young boy threw his daddy a concerned look but he obediently opened his book and bent over it.
Together with Fugaku's help, Naruto got rid of his trousers – which by now had started to stick to his legs due to the sweat – and the Omega couldn't even find it in him to feel embarrassed by being half naked in front of his father-in-law.
He just wanted his baby out of him; he didn't give a shit anymore who was going to help him with the delivery as long as someone helped him.
"So how do I check his progress?" Fugaku asked with a pinched look as Naruto drew his legs up. There was silence and then the Alpha muttered, "He's fully dilated. What do I have to do now?"
The dark haired man surprised Naruto by suddenly bringing the phone to his ear. "Sasuke wants to talk to you for a minute," the Alpha explained, shrugging.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked and couldn't supress a keen of agony when another contraction assaulted him, fiercer than all the others before.
"Naruto, listen to me. I'm driving as fast as I can, but until I'm back, my father is going to help you with the birth," Sasuke said and his low voice soothed a bit of the panic that had been steadily building up inside Naruto. "Remember: keep breathing evenly and push with every contraction you will feel next. I'll be helping my father with the rest. Just keep breathing and push. You're going to do fine, you hear me? You already put one baby on the world, you can do this again."
"Okay," Naruto said in a small voice, biting his lower lip.
"It's going to be okay," Sasuke reassured him. "It won't be too long anymore, okay? We're going to hold our son soon in our arms. Focus on that."
"Okay," the blond muttered and when the next contraction hit him, he shut his eyes and started pushing, only vaguely aware of Fugaku retracting the phone.
Please, Sasuke, be here soon.
His sense of time disappeared once he started pushing. All his focus narrowed down to pushing the baby out of him and trying not to hyperventilate. He was vaguely aware of Fugaku murmuring encouragingly to him, but he couldn't discern a separate comment. It was all just a stream of noise to him.
At one point he felt a small hand patting his shoulder carefully and while he gave his son a distracted smile in response, he wasn't really aware of the soothing motion.
Slowly he felt his son dropping further and further into his birth channel until he started crowning; the moment announced by the sudden fierce burning pain.
Naruto could barely hold back a scream as the burning sensation intensified and he was out of breath, panting madly; his head a jumble of thoughts all centring around the same motion: please let me get my son out now.
And then suddenly the burning diminished and he felt the rest of his son's body slowly slipping out of him, his tiny body being supported by his grandfather's strong hands.
He had never been so relieved to hear the piercing scream of his son as the baby took his first lungful of air.
"He looks healthy to me," Fugaku remarked, carefully wiping away the mucus and blood from the squirming baby. Naruto had never seen the man with such flushed cheeks before. "A healthy baby boy with ten toes and ten fingers."
Naruto laughed weakly and eagerly accepted the bundle being placed on his chest.
"Brother?" Kei asked in wonder and Naruto nodded, beckoning him closer with a tired wave.
"This is your little brother," Naruto announced with a smile, pulling back the blanket to reveal the baby better.
Yet again the baby boy's hair was dark; a small tuft of hair decorating his scalp. Rose red lips smacked together and dark blue eyes blinked sleepily.
"I wonder whose eyes he'll - " Naruto stopped abruptly and his breath hitched as a sudden wave of pain crashed over him again.
"Naruto-kun?" Fugaku asked sharply.
"S-something's wrong," Naruto managed to groan out, barely able to place his new born baby next to him, as pain once more swept through his system.
"Daddy?" Kei started crying; his small hands gripping Naruto's arm tightly.
What the hell was happening?!
AN2: Did I really just end the chapter at a cliffhanger like this? Yes, yes, I did. Why? Because I'm evil LOL
