CHAPTER 2 IS UP! :DDD

Are you guys as happy as I am about this story? So far so good!

Lol anyways, I don't own Naruto, just the storyline, yadda yadda yadda.

And omgg I forgot! In the last chapter, Everyone's about 23, 24, 25ish. You know…whatever you wanna imagine. I know I hate it when people tell me the ages, cuz then it messes up the picture of them in my head. Just whatever you wanna see, go for it. But I'm personally writing from an older point of view.

Enjoy! :D

Paperwork.

The one word I've learned to dread above all others.

All through my youth I'd dreamed and dreamed of having this job, and forever fought to make it a reality, and now my dream had come true. I'd never regret my choice, my becoming Hokage, but sometimes when I see those huge stacks of papers sitting on my desk I wonder, 'What the hell was I thinking?'

I close my eyes in frustration, my hands rubbing my temples as I sat at the desk I could finally call my own. My robes and the hat my predecessors wore were a little big on me, and when I bent my head the cap slid down, covering my eyes. I was so tired, and the darkness of the cap tempted me to sleep. Oh, where was the endless energy I was so famed for having in my youth? Where did it go? I knew I couldn't sleep, but well, resting my eyes wouldn't hurt now would it? Besides, it would forestall my paperwork duties…

A small smile played over my lips and I sat my hands down on the desk, burying my head in my arms. I closed my eyes and my breathing became even. I started to drift off…

…and a knock came at my door.

Dammit.

"Come in." I said monotonously, trying to hide the weariness in my voice.

The door creaked open to reveal a beautiful young woman wearing a brown sundress that came to her hips and a pair of black shorts. Her vibrant pink hair was loose and splayed all around her face. Her eyes looked baggy from exhaustion and there were dark circles under her eyes, which automatically made my heart clench in my chest. I should send her home to get some more sleep…

She reached a hand up to brush the hair out of her face, and a flash of gold caught my attention. A ring.

One that matched the one on my finger.

I smiled. "Hi Sakura, honey, what brings you here?"

She smiled back. "Hi Naruto-kun. I'm giving you the report on the hospital staff and patients."

Anger surged through me and I stood up from my seat. "Sakura," I growled, "I told you not to work anymore. I FORBADE it…" I began, but she interrupted me, as she always does.

"NARUTO! Calm down! I know! I wasn't working, I was just talking to Ino at the hospital and she asked me to give you the report, okay?" A small frown played across her lips, and her hand traveled down to rest on the slight bulge protruding from her stomach.

"Did you really think that I would ever endanger our child like that, Naruto?"

The hurt was evident in her eyes and her eyes were glittering with tears, signaling that she was about to cry.

Dammit. I HATE it when she cries.

"No, Sakura, no! I just know how hard-headed you are about helping people; I was just making sure," I said, wrapping her in a hug, "I could never believe that you would hurt anyone, let alone our own child." I smiled reassuringly back at her and she drew away from my chest, wiping her eyes and returning it.

"Anyway," She gave me a stern look before moving on, "the doctor's supplies need to be re-ordered again, but other than that, everything's moving along smoothly. In fact…" She cracked a wide grin, "Hinata and Ino are doing quite well under my tutelage. Ino takes some time to learn, but she's got most of the stuff down already. She's almost as good as me, Naruto! And Hinata, she's got a natural talent for medical work- she's incredible! I'd say she's already nearly surpassed me in both talent and skill. They're both amazing. I don't know how I'm ever going to choose between them as my successor." At this, Sakura looked down, her lip quivering. Seeing his wife so upset always had an effect on Naruto, and he pulled her one again into his arms, holding onto her tightly and planting soft kisses in her hair.

"Sakura, honey, you know we agreed," he started, but was interrupted by his distraught, moody, and pregnant wife. "I know we agreed! I know, Naruto! But why should I give up my position at the hospital to stay at home with our kid? I mean, there's a children's center in the hospital and I can take him to work with me everyday-,"

"Or her," Naruto interrupted, a slight blush on his face. Sakura looked up, confused and blinking back tears. "Wh-What?"

"I said," Naruto began nervously, "Or her. I want a girl, Sakura," his eyes softened. He leaned forward, placing a delicate kiss on her lips, "One just like you."

Her bottom lip quivered again, only this time she collapsed into tears. Naruto sighed, just holding her, his heart breaking further with every tear she shed. So, he made a brave attempt at comforting her further. "Besides, we made a deal. It's too dangerous for you to keep working at the hospital, and someone needs to be there to both protect and nurture the baby. Who better than its own mother?"

"Yes, but," Sakura started, but Naruto cut her off, "AND if an enemy were to attack, they could just head straight to the hospital and swoop the two of you right up, because there are only a few shinobi guards posted around it. If you stayed home with the baby, you could both be protected properly."

Tears were still cascading down her face, but Naruto knew he had won. There was no way he couldn't.

They had a deal, after all.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I mean, I want to take care of our child, but I want to work, too…" Sakura sobbed.

"Then we'll try to find a middle ground," Naruto reasoned, "but AFTER you've had the baby. Okay?"

"Okay," Sakura answered, a weak smile showing through her tears. Trying to change the subject, his pregnant and moody wife scrambled for something to talk about, until she fixed her eyes upon the ridiculously tall stack of paperwork molesting his desk. 'Oh, this must be torturing him, this much paperwork,' Sakura thought mischievously. "Oh, I'm sorry, Naruto. I didn't realize you were busy…." She joked. The Hokage, not busy? Ha! Yeah, right.

Naruto furrowed his brows in anguish. Gah, the paperwork! He sooo did not want to do it, but it was as though each and every page was beckoning to him, teasing him because they knew he was reluctant. One of the papers suddenly stood up, waving to him, whilst another began beckoning to him, teasing him by making a "come hither" motion. And of course they were all screaming, "READ ME! REEEEAAADD MEEEE!"

A sharp sting to the side of his face made him come back to reality and the first thing Naruto saw was his lovely wife holding her palm face up in the air. She was laughing, and he barely caught "Staring at the paperwork….oh, the look on your face…"

Naruto sighed, rubbing the now red and angry palm mark on the side of his face. "I'm glad you find my suffering funny," he grinned, "I could always make you help you know."

To his surprise, she smiled and made her way over to the empty seat beside his desk, grabbing a decent sized stack of papers as she went.

A few minutes later, he looked up at her from his current stack of paperwork to see how she was doing. Once again, she shocked him. She had ¾ of her original stack done already, and she was reaching across the top of his desk for more, grinning at the frustrated look on his face.

"How are you doing it that fast?" He grumbled, already feeling a headache coming on. No wonder his predecessor, Godaime "Granny" Tsunade, always kept the sake nearby. He could definitely use some right now.

"Practice," She replied, her hand flying across the page in front of her, "Do you really think lady Tsunade did it all by herself? Seriously? Ha! No way! She made me do some sometimes when it was really piling up, so we could try to get some training in that day. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I finally did. The hospital paperwork doesn't help, either. Actually, there might be more there right now than there is here."

"No way," Naruto moaned in agony, "there's no way. This is just ridiculous as it is, how can running a hospital take more paperwork than running an entire village?"

Looking up from the paper she'd just signed, she sighed. He really was an idiot, wasn't he?

"Records, Naruto," She sighed, rolling her eyes, "records of each person and each injury they've sustained, especially shinobi, including what operations or implants they've had in case there are complications in the futures. Then there are consent forms, in case someone tries to accuse the hospital of any wrongdoing. Not to mention bills, ordering supplies, signing paychecks, authorizing the use of equipment…"

"Ugh! Okay, I've got it." Naruto exclaimed. He soo did not want to discuss paperwork right now.

"Hey, wait," Sakura said, "you might have to do these yourself, they're mission reports. I can't authorize these."

"Okay. We'll trade, then. Here, these are," He glanced down and grimaced, "building inspection reports. You can do them, if you want."

After what seemed like hours went by, Sakura decided to break the silence. "Anything interesting going on lately?"

Naruto furrowed his brows at the mission report her was currently reading. "Yeah, actually. Listen to this, this is from Genma's team's last report, 'As we approached our target location, we were ambushed by several nin. At the time, we believed them to be after the goods we were to be delivering, but as it turned out they were out to give us a warning. After they had rendered two of my three genin charges unconscious, the leader ordered the attack to a stop. He turned to face me, and said, 'Those who consider themselves prestigious will fall, and the fallen will rise once again.' They then disappeared. Four enemies were engaged, each taking minor to considerable damage, while two of our genin passed out from blood loss to wounds inflicted with swords."

Finished reading, Naruto closed his eyes and breathed deeply, thinking. "Okay, so that does NOT sound good…and with what Gaara told us a few days ago about those mist nin who were killed…"

"That doesn't make any sense, though. If the two were connected, then why would they kill all those mist nin, and leave our team alive?" Sakura responded.

"I don't know," Naruto said, "but it would probably be smarter to assume the two are connected and count it as a threat than not to. I'm sure Gaara will think the same thing when I tell him." Naruto smiled. "He's a good Kazekage. He really cares for his people, you can tell."

"Mhm," Sakura agreed, "He's really devoted to improving Suna. The last time he and his siblings were here negotiating, he was telling me about his plans for the medical program up there…he said it was pretty bad…"

"CRAP!" Naruto leapt from behind his desk, papers flying everywhere, "I forgot! He asked me to send a medic up there in his last letter to help teach them some of the more advanced stuff, but with all that's been going on lately…" He blinked and looked up at his perplexed wife. "Who do you recommend? Since you're obviously not going…" He gave her a stern, pointed look.

"Well, Ino's marrying Chouji in a few weeks so you'll probably have to send Hinata," Sakura blinked, "She knows what she's doing and has an adept skill for what we do, I know she won't disappoint." Sakura smiled, but it quickly faded. "Oh, I hope she'll be okay over there for…uhm…how long will she be staying, Naruto?"

"Uhm…I'm not sure, exactly. I think he said a year, but she'll be staying in the Kage mansion. I'm sure she'll be fine, Sakura. She's strong, and besides, Garra won't let any harm come to her," Naruto smiled, "I actually kinda think he might have a crush on her."

Ahhh!

Sorry. Now that that's overwith…

You guys better have enjoyed this chapter! Not only did it take forever to type, it is now 10 till midnight, and I am about to bludgeon my eyes out with a colored pencil because the white, blinding light of Microsoft Word is killing me.

Well, anyways, I know this chapter is more NarutoxSakura oriented, and I'm sorry for that, but I believe it really is important to the story. Not only do we develop further into the antagonistic part of the plot, we get a glimpse of another couple, InoxChouji, and we learn that Gaara has already started to develop feelings for Hinata! :D Besides, seeing Naruto and Sakura's relationship in this stage is actually kinda cute, to me. Sakura's pregnant, Naruto's stressed and worried, and the part where he says he wants a baby girl like Sakura was just absolutely adorable as well. *coughs* ANYWAY, moving on…

I am SOOO proud of this story so far, I'm not even kidding. It's actually got a plot and it's got romance, but it's not pure romance like I'm used to writing, and not only that, but my writing techniques and just overall writing level has just absolutely skyrocketed since I've written my other stories. No offense to my other stories, but this is just coming together so much better than the others I've written, so sorry if I sound nuts by being excited about this…LOL.

Just a quick reminder and I'll leave you be-

When you REVIEW, good things happen!

Luv ya guys!
