Author's note: First of all, many, many apologies for not updating this story for so long. It has been quite the eventful months and I'm really sorry I made you all wait for so long for a new chapter. I don't know if there's anyone still reading this, but I'm truly sorry.
But yes, here I am again with a new chapter. Something small to work myself back into this particular universe before I tackle the more complicated prompts.
Warnings: Some fluff; takes place during Naruto's first pregnancy

I hope you'll like it!
Chapter 40
"How did the meeting go?"
Naruto released an explosive sigh and dropped his head back against the headrest of the driver's seat. "Eugh, don't talk to me about it. It was headache inducing and I was this close to flipping the table over."
"Pretty sure you shouldn't get too agitated in your state," Sasuke pointed out calmly.
"Yeah, well, tell my colleagues that with their stupid questions and their whining about the budget," Naruto grumbled, running a hand through his hair. His eyes caught the clock and he winced. "Sorry I'm so late. I had no idea the meeting would run out for this long."
"Don't worry about it, it's fine."
"No, it's not. You took time off to spend with me and instead I spent the entire afternoon in a meeting." Naruto frowned, guilt brewing in the pit of his stomach.
"Not your fault," Sasuke insisted. "What do you say of ordering take out, hm? We can spend the evening together without having to waste time cooking or doing the dishes."
"Could we get ramen?" Naruto asked hopefully, wrestling with the seatbelt to put it around him. That was surprisingly difficult with using only one hand. "Please?" he added with a pout when it remained silent on the other end of the line.
The Alpha sighed loudly before begrudgingly giving in. "Fine, but only because it's been a while. Don't think this means you can go back to eating ramen several times per week!"
"I'll be good," Naruto said, rolling his eyes. Why did everyone treat ramen like it was such a bad thing? It was delicious, food made by the gods themselves, why couldn't anyone else see that?
"All right, I'll place the order. With a bit of luck, the food will be here by the time you get home too," Sasuke said.
"That'd be great. All right, I'll see you in a bit."
"See you soon, drive safe."
Naruto hung up and stuck his phone in his bag, waving at one of his colleagues when she passed his car on her way to her own vehicle. She flashed a quick smile back and he started his car, putting it into reverse to get out of his parking spot. The sun was low in the sky by now and he put on his sunglasses before driving off the parking lot.
He was still annoyed that he had wasted almost an entire afternoon at the meeting, all because some people thought they were entitled to get more supplies. After several busy weeks at his own work, Sasuke had managed to take this afternoon off so they could spend it together and now instead they only had an evening together before they had to leave for their work again tomorrow.
This was why he loathed those meetings: nine times out of ten they always ran out because some people had to complain about something every damn time.
Well, whatever. He and Sasuke would just have to enjoy this evening together and take back the lost time during the weekend.
"I ran you a bath." Sasuke leant against the doorframe of the living room, his arms crossed.
Naruto tore his attention away from the television and looked at him surprised. "You did? You didn't have to!"
The dark haired man shrugged and wandered over to the couch, leaning over the back to catch the Omega's mouth in a soft kiss. "You look like you can use a relaxing bath after that meeting."
"Do I look that bad?" Naruto smiled wryly, slipping his fingers through black strands.
"Not bad," Sasuke instantly denied with a small smile, kissing him again. "Just in need of a nice bath."
The blond man snorted and stood up, stretching his arms. "Well, I'm not going to say no to that," he said brightly and cocked his head to the left. "You're going to join me?"
"In a bit. I still need to call Itachi to discuss Akihito's birthday party," Sasuke replied. "He had a meeting with the board until seven thirty, so I had to wait until he's done with that."
"All right, I'll see you in a bit then," Naruto hummed and made his way upstairs.
A bath honestly sounded really good now. The ramen he'd shared with Sasuke had definitely improved his mood; sharing a bath with his mate would make his evening a whole lot better. Hopefully the call with Itachi wouldn't take too long. It had been a while since they had last had the time to share a bath and he was looking forward to making use of this opportunity.
Spirits lifted, he entered the bathroom where a full bath was awaiting him. It being August, the temperature was too high to make it a hot bath; when Naruto dipped his fingers in it, he grinned at the pleasantly cool water. He smelt lavender and rose, so he surmised Sasuke had made use of the bottles his mother had given him for his birthday after all.
He made quick work of removing his clothes and eagerly sank into the bath, sighing softly when the cool water lapped at his skin. It felt nice after spending an entire day in too warm classrooms, sweating his balls off. They had air conditioning installed in those rooms, but he honestly didn't have the impression they helped much. The rooms seemed to stay warm whether the air conditioning was blasting or not.
Raising his legs so his knees peeked out of the water, he slipped his hands down to cup his belly; a smile automatically spreading across his mouth. He had entered his fifth month a week ago and no matter how many times he saw himself in a reflective surface or touched his belly, he couldn't stop marvelling about it.
It was practically indescribable how he felt, witnessing his stomach growing with every week that passed. For months he had feared he would never get to experience this, would never get to know how it felt to have his own baby growing inside of him. He had basically given up on it, after so many disappointments, after facing negative test after negative test, again and again.
So for him to actually be pregnant now, to know that when he reached down to touch his stomach, he would no longer feel it being as flat as before … To realise there was a baby growing inside of him, getting ready to be born in a few months … It was amazing. Out of this world even.
"We really should start thinking about a name for you," he murmured, stroking his belly slowly. "I know it'll still be a while before you're born, but waiting too long will be – "
He cut himself off and stilled, holding his breath. He looked down at his stomach, at his hands cupping his belly. Just now had he … Had it just been his imagination? Maybe …
There.
Again.
Almost as soft as a butterfly's touch, a nudge so fleeting he might almost mistake it for something else, but … This was really it, wasn't it? He wasn't imagining this, right? He was actually –
Another nudge, a little bit more insistent now, and he started trembling, a hand coming up to cover his mouth as he stared at his stomach. He pinched his arm quickly, gasping when pain flashed up, stinging, and he wobbly laughed. He wasn't dreaming. This was actually really happening right now, no mistaking it.
He had just felt his baby move.
For the very first time he'd been aware of his baby moving around inside of him and that knowledge shocked him to the core. It took him so off guard it took him a bit to realise that the wetness on his cheeks didn't come from the bathwater, but from the tears which slowly rolled down his cheeks.
This was really happening. It was as if feeling his baby actually move around now cemented the reality for him.
He was going to be a dad in less than five months. Next year he would actually be holding his own baby in his arms.
Oh god. This is really happening.
"Naruto, are you okay?"
Sasuke's worried voice had him looking up and his laugh was wet but happy as he reached out with his arms, wrapping them around the Alpha's neck to bring him down to kiss him.
"I just felt our baby move," he said; the words feeling glorious as they left his mouth, and his smile brightened when black eyes filled with wonder.
A hand reached into the water to touch his stomach reverently and then they were kissing again, Naruto helping Sasuke getting rid of his clothes so he could join him in the water.
As he leant back against Sasuke's chest and felt strong hands caressing his belly, he closed his eyes and smiled, every cell in his body singing with euphoria.
It had started out as a shitty afternoon, but it had turned out in an evening he would never forget.
AN2: Not very long, I know, but I figured this prompt would be best suited to get me back into this particular universe.
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
I hope to see you all back in the next chapter (which hopefully won't have such a huge delay *winces*)! In the next chapter we'll make a jump into the future and Deidara and Naruto find themselves into quite some trouble ...
