Chapter Five

Tsunade had to suppress the urge to growl at the hard-headed academy teacher now sitting on the other side of her desk. Iruka even had the audacity to smile shyly at her as she glared at him. "Six weeks… it's been six weeks since I gave you that check up!"

"I'm sorry?" Iruka apologized, furrowing his eyebrows as he tried to figure out why the Hokage was mad at him now.

"In six weeks, your blood pressure and blood sugar have skyrocketed! Not to mention you've lost fifteen pounds!" Tsunade was seething as she continued listing off the changes in Iruka's blood tests that would only make sense to another medical mind. Tuning her out, Iruka thought about her comment on his weight loss.

Fifteen pounds… that couldn't be right. He had been about the same weight, give or take a pound or two, for the past ten years! Not to mention the fact that his pants were starting to fit oddly. If anything, he would have guessed he was gaining weight.

"The weight isn't that bad, considering you've apparently been nauseous again," Tsunade grumbled, but then she was off again with numbers that made no sense to the academy teacher. Finally, Iruka was able to make sense of something she said and it chilled him. "You're heart is under too much stress and if you keep up with the blood pressure and sugar, your kidneys have a very good chance of failing in the near future."

"B-but I've been eating normally – maybe a little bit less," Iruka admitted softly. He wasn't one for sweets or fatty food, so he couldn't understand such vital statistics increasing dramatically enough to make Tsunade's voice take on that worried tone.

"Any unusual stress?" Tsunade was grasping for anything that would explain the radical changes in the teacher's body, but if anything, Iruka should be more relaxed now that it was summer vacation at the academy. The teacher shook his head, dashing what little hope she had on that being the cause of all of this. "Iruka, I don't know what to tell you. None of this makes sense. Viruses don't cause nausea this long – and they certainly don't affect things like your iron levels this much."

"What can I do?" Iruka asked as he looked down at his hands, but couldn't accept Tsunade's mystery diagnosis. Strangely, the one thing that stood out most in his mind was not the strain on his organs or the veritable list of things wrong with him – it was those pesky fifteen pounds that melted off of him. Looking at his hands now, he couldn't believe it – he could see that his fingers were slightly larger than they used to be and, if that wasn't a sign of weight gain, he wasn't sure what was.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Tsunade bow her head in defeat. Iruka felt his lower lip begin to tremble – the greatest medical mind in the world had no idea what was wrong with him. Tears began to prick at his eyes as he covered his mouth with one of his hands, in order to stifle the soft sob that escaped his lips. He had always been an emotional person and couldn't stop himself from crying once he started, which only made things worse as two tears began to slide down his cheeks.

"Iruka, don't cry. We'll figure it out," Tsunade tried to reassure him as she knelt down before him. This close, Iruka could smell the woman's distinct aroma. He could detect ink, fresh paper, but most of all sake – tons and tons of sake. The unmistakable scent of alcohol wrenched at Iruka's stomach, and the teacher nearly plowed the Hokage over in his sprint to the trash.

Tsunade was about to move to help the teacher, but froze when she saw Iruka hold a hand up, wordlessly telling her to keep away as he continued to heave into the wastepaper basket. When he finally finished, Iruka moved to stand, but kept his hand in the same gesture. Pressing his other hand into the Hokage's desk, Iruka leaned to the side weakly.

"Sake… you reek of it," the teacher gasped as he turned to look at the blonde. Tsunade blinked a few times as she repeated his words in her head. The alcohol on her breath was actually light enough, her secretary couldn't smell it. For Iruka to tell her he couldn't stand her being close because of the overpowering scent, it was something that sent off strange bells in her head.

"I have one more blood test, Iruka," Tsunade said suspiciously as she rifled through her robes for a needle and a vial. Holding her breath, she moved quickly before Iruka became nauseous again at the scent of her favorite drink. As soon as she had her sample, she backed away and moved to the other side of her desk, where she could analyze the hastily taken liquid.

Iruka watched her curiously, wondering what kind of test was left that Tsunade had finally remembered. He didn't hold it against the Hokage for not performing this test sooner, especially not when, after several minutes of toying with her machinery, the woman stared wide-eyed at the results the equipment was spitting out.

"Well, that is interesting…" she whispered to herself. Taking a calming breath, Iruka moved closer so that he could see the screen, but the numbers made even less sense to him in print than they did spoken aloud.

"What is 'that'?" Iruka asked as he saw a flicker of surprise on the Hokage's features when she turned to study him curiously.

"Hmm, it seems that your hormones are going haywire," she concluded as she leaned back in her chair smugly. Iruka could only raise an eyebrow, not wanting to voice the question on what could possibly cause such a hormonal change in him, that he was sick for over two months. "One more quick test and I'll know for certain if it's what I think it is."

Iruka rolled his eyes, but went back to the table he had spent his entire morning on. He pulled up his shirt when Tsunade gestured for him to, but nothing prepared him for the cold, thick gel placed on his abdomen. Squeaking indignantly, Iruka was about to complain about Tsunade's nonexistent bedside manner, but fell silent when a strange sound emitted from an unfamiliar implement she was now holding to his stomach.

"Well, that explains it," Tsunade stated with a disbelieving shake of her head. "Remember that little mission that you have yet to complete, Iruka?" The teacher nodded his head, inwardly deciding that if this illness was Kakashi's fault, he was going throttle the man – powerful jounin or no. "Did your mystery lover wear protection?"

"What the hell kind of question is that?" Iruka grumbled. The sheepish blush creeping into his cheeks told Tsunade the answer she needed, just as much as his offended and quick response. "And what is that sound?" he added in aggravation. The best way Iruka could describe the quick, rhythmic sounds was the sloshing of water, but there was something very different about it. For one, what the hell did it have to do with his abdomen?

"That," Tsunade paused to pointedly look down at the rounded instrument pressed against his belly, then continued, "would be a heartbeat." Iruka glared at her, silently demanding she explain herself, since the noise was far from any heartbeat Iruka had ever heard before – not to mention why she was listening to it down by his belly button. "It seems, Iruka, that you aren't really sick at all. You're pregnant."

The world came to a screeching halt as Iruka dumbly stared at the woman, his jaw dropping when he saw that she was being completely serious. Realizing that this wasn't one of her drunken jokes, he looked down at the device in her hand and listened to the odd sound again. No, it wasn't a normal human heartbeat – it was a fetal one. That realization dawned slowly on the teacher, as he glanced between Tsunade and his flat stomach several times.

The nausea, soreness, and dizziness – they were all symptoms of viral infections, but were also common parts of pregnancy. In disbelief, Iruka brought his hands to shakily touch his stomach - one part of him that seemed to be growing despite his drop in weight. Even now, he could feel that his stomach wasn't really as flat as it once was. It was far from being pudgy, but it was a small, subtle change that Iruka could now clearly feel, as he recalled he once had a great deal more definition.

"It was your sensitive sense of smell that made me think to try one test I never would have otherwise," Tsunade said softly as she watched the multitude of emotions reflected in the teacher's eyes. "The scent of sake is light enough that Shizune can't smell it and not to mention that you got sick from the smell alone. I didn't really believe that looking at your hormone levels would actually show anything, especially such high levels of female hormones, but it was worth a try."

"Pregnant…" Iruka whispered to himself as he stared down at his belly, listening to the rhythmic sound originating from it, and starting to realize that Tsunade had unknowingly just given him one of things he had dreamed about – a child. The corner of his lip quirked up and, for reasons Iruka couldn't even begin to explain, he felt new tears begin to prick his vision. "I-Is the baby okay?" he asked quietly, his voice quavering as he tore his gaze away from his abdomen to look at Tsunade.

"He – or she – has a strong heartbeat," the Hokage replied with a smile. "And considering that most women don't even figure out they're pregnant until around now, you're doing fine. But now that we know, no alcohol, though from that reaction of yours, I don't think that'll be a problem. No caffeine, no heavy lifting or strenuous training. But, most of all, Iruka, you have to actually eat and not pick at your food like Naruto says you've been doing," she finished, watching as Iruka went back to staring at his midsection in fascination.

About to remove the apparatus from Iruka's belly, the Hokage froze when she heard Iruka's hesitant request. "Do you mind… if I listen for a little while?" She silently complied to the plea with a nod and leaned back in her seat, watching the teacher as his eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Would I be a father or a mother?" Iruka asked with a weepy chuckle after several minutes of silently listening to the baby's heartbeat. Tsunade had to laugh – only the teacher would ask her such a question. Most men would be the ones demanding how such a thing was possible, how to get rid of it, or something else revealing that they weren't willing to carry a child for nine months. Iruka worried about what the baby would call him.

"That's up to you, I guess," Tsunade replied. Seeing the teacher nod his head, she finally took the device off his middle and the room was flooded in silence. Handing over a few tissues, she waited until Iruka had wiped the gel off his midsection, before she asked something that she had been wondering for the past several minutes of watching the brunet. "What about the…um, other father?"

"What about him?" Iruka's eyes landed on her as he moved to sit up. Tsunade shrugged, knowing it wasn't her place to ask who the man was, but the query still burned in the back of her head. Instead, she settled for a similar question that didn't invade Iruka's privacy as much.

"Are you going to tell him?"

Thinking about it for a moment, Iruka found himself unsure. He couldn't imagine Kakashi as a parent, much less a devoted one that would be happy to find out he fathered a child with another man. Kakashi did, however, have a right to know – Iruka couldn't take that away from him.

"As a woman, I'll tell him," Iruka replied as he nodded his head. Letting out a soft snort, he broke out into a smile. "One surprise at a time, ne?"

"Poor guy would probably have a heart attack if you told him everything at once," Tsunade agreed, finding Iruka's good mood infectious as she let out a chuckle. "Now, do you want to be the one to break the news to Naruto that he's going to be an uncle, or should I?" She only offered because she knew the blonde would have a thousand and one logical questions that Iruka had yet to even ask her, and it looked like he was in no hurry to find out.

"Pfft… I want to be there to see Sasuke's face," Iruka replied with a smirk. He could only imagine what the solemn jounin would do when he heard that his adoptive brother-in-law was pregnant, and that Iruka had already decided the Uchiha would be the babysitter. It was about time he got back at the raven-haired young man for giving him a dolphin for every birthday, knowing full well Iruka hated his namesake. He sniggered, finding revenge was sweet.

For a little while, Iruka completely forgot that his child's father was the man who, judging from the horror stories he had heard from Naruto, hated children.

Authoress: Just as a little side comment – by eight weeks (AKA, what Iruka's at now if you're counting), the baby goes from the embryonic stage to fetal…by 5 ½ weeks, the baby has a heartbeat and at 8-9 weeks, that heartbeat can be heard with a regular ultrasound. I think that's enough developmental biology for everyone today! And, of course, thanks to B.Z.-chan for doing such a great job betaing!
