Chapter Seven
"Oooh, look at this one!" Iruka rolled his eyes when he heard his brother's squeal, wishing that Naruto didn't see the need to attract attention wherever they went. Of course, since it was such a normal part of his brother's personality, people only glanced over at them and then went back to their own business.
The blonde came flouncing over, waving clothing in front of Iruka so fast, all it looked like was a blur of orange. Twitching slightly, he grabbed for the neon article before his brother's quick movements made him nauseous. Almost as soon as he touched the soft piece of fleece, he wished he hadn't because, now that it was no longer moving, he could see what had gotten his brother to coo so loudly.
Iruka glanced from the little fleece coat to his proudly beaming brother, only able to wonder why anyone would see the need to make a neon orange jacket for a newborn. Stitched across the back was a blue spiral, and it even had a little puffy collar of white. It looked so much like Naruto's infamous childhood jacket that Iruka snorted. It had to be one of those items that appealed only to a very, very small collection of people, and it just so happened that select group was rummaging through the store at that very moment. Few people knew he had been the one to buy Naruto his first orange coat. He could only smile at the blonde's energy as he handed the clothing over to their unhappy pack mule.
He was sure that, if he glanced back, Sasuke would be staring at the jacket and twitching. For the past two hours of shopping, the Uchiha had said very little, only grumbling that Naruto should never be unleashed in a baby store. Being only a few inches from the raven-haired man, however, Iruka had seen him sneak a few outfits into the pile of things to buy.
"What about this one?" Naruto asked as he bounded over, now holding up perhaps the cutest shirt Iruka had seen thus far – and that was quite an accomplishment. The little graphic tee had such distinct markings; it was obviously supposed to be a green chuunin vest over a black shirt that, in uneven and messy writing, said 'my Daddy is a shinobi'. Watching as Naruto turned the shirt over, Iruka let out a snort. There was apparently more to the message: 'and he can kick your ass!'
Another shirt for the pile! Iruka caught the upward twitch at the corner of Sasuke's lips when the teen read the shirt now overlapping his arm. When the two teens weren't watching him like hawks, Iruka knew he would have to have a shirt custom-made for the baby that said similarly adorable statements in reference to his or her two uncles.
"Alright, I think you put enough of a dent in my savings, Naruto," Iruka called out as he watched his brother begin attacking another rack. This time, however, the blonde was looking at hats and other accessories. A chuckle erupted from his mouth as Iruka realized his child was going to be spoiled rotten, considering the extensive wardrobe the unborn brat already had. And they didn't even know what gender the baby was! Iruka could only imagine Naruto would go crazy buying dresses and other frilly things if it was a girl. Similarly, he could imagine the cute overalls and slightly more masculine outfits that would cover every surface, if it turned out the baby was a boy.
As they moved towards the counter, Iruka snagged one more thing that he decided at that instant he must have. Happily devouring his impulse buy, even before the giggling cashier could ring up the candy bar, Iruka was so interested in his heavenly chocolate that he was oblivious to the increasing bill, until he heard the smiling woman say something that made his and Naruto's mouths drop open.
"I'll put that on your tab, Uchiha-sama," she said so bouncily, it took the two brothers a moment to realize what exactly her words meant. Sasuke nodded his head and let out an almost inaudible 'hn' in response to her overjoyed comment.
The two could only stare at the jounin in amazement, following the dark-haired man now carrying several bags out of the store and into the busy street. "Oi, how did she know your name!" Naruto finally squeaked in jealousy as his eyes narrowed. It might not seem like it to most people, but the ravishing blonde was insanely possessive of his equally handsome boyfriend. If anyone even tried to look at Sasuke appraisingly, they might just find their eyes scratched out by the Kyuubi container. As disturbing as it was, it was also kind of cute.
"Why did you have a tab?" Iruka asked the better question as he eyed the Uchiha. It would be one thing for Sasuke to ring up a tab at some designer's boutique for his own wardrobe, or even a bar or something else – but a baby store? It was beyond unexpected, it was inconceivable! It took a moment for Iruka to think of why the man would have such a chummy relationship with the store's owner, that he was extended a line of credit. Naruto apparently wasn't the only one going a little baby-crazy. "What did you buy!" he demanded and, knowing the filthy rich Uchiha, it was something large, expensive, and wholly unnecessary.
"You didn't tell me you bought something for Naruto the Second!" Naruto complained, not giving his boyfriend time to respond – not that Sasuke was planning on informing the two brothers what exactly he'd spent a small fortune on. Iruka let out a soft growl at his brother's newest nickname for the baby, but couldn't be angry at the teen for his attempts to give the baby ridiculous names. Last week, it had been Genghis Khan and, before that, The Thing. At least the teen was finally picking – somewhat – normal names.
"It was nothing," Sasuke replied as he gave the two a look that told them he wouldn't divulge the information, even under torture. Naruto had his ramen – Sasuke had a penchant for secrecy. Whatever it was, Iruka knew he wouldn't figure it out until the young jounin wanted him to know.
"Alright… but you didn't have to pay for those clothes. I do actually have a source of income too." Iruka let the subject go far easier than his brother, if, for no other reason than that he wasn't in the mood to argue – he was too hungry to guilt the teen into giving him some hints. "Now, where are we going to lunch?" he asked, his words filling the two teens with a small amount of dread. In the past two and a half weeks since they got the news, Iruka's appetite had returned with a vengeance.
Despite his being able to eat the two out of house and home, Iruka didn't look like a ball as one would expect. No, he had just barely regained those fifteen pounds Tsunade said he lost. Unless one was looking at him stripped down to just his boxers, they wouldn't even notice the difference and, even then, the change was more in Iruka's head than anything else. Those fifteen pounds didn't show, though Iruka swore they focused around his middle, just barely softening his once rock-solid six pack. It wasn't even enough of a change to put an active shinobi to shame – it just seemed like he had a little ramen-binge that he had yet to work off to any non-hormonal person's eyes.
Naruto had once fearfully whispered to Sasuke that he wanted to know where Iruka put it all, since it obviously wasn't his belly. Having spoken to the Hokage, Sasuke knew that the teacher's normally high metabolism, along with the needs of the growing fetus, was what allowed him to eat so much, but have next to nothing to show for it. Yet even Tsunade didn't like that Iruka was hardly gaining weight, but she could only chuckle and say that she had the feeling that Iruka's new eating habits were going to catch up to him, now that he was less than two weeks away from entering his second trimester.
It was enough to give Sasuke the image of Iruka suddenly gaining the thirty pounds or so he should have logically gained from his eating habits by now, bursting his snug jacket open. The jounin let out an uncharacteristic snicker, causing Iruka and Naruto's gaze to shift to him.
Falling silent again, he wasn't about to tell Iruka he was dreaming of the man blowing up like a balloon. Then again, he couldn't help it – he wanted to see Iruka positively tubby! He had the feeling the teacher would have one of those scary mood swings of his and kill him if he even tried to explain himself.
Even though he was still very much fit, Iruka was illogically sensitive about his shape. Damn it, Sasuke had accidentally walked in on the brunet naked yesterday and, other than the fact that the teacher was pressing his fingers against his slowly softening stomach, the jounin wouldn't have even been able tell that Iruka was nearly three months pregnant!
Well, there were other signs. There was the fact that, in a matter of seconds, he had gone from dodging a bar of soap that was chucked at his head, to apologizing profusely to the sniffling brunet, and then off to comply with Iruka's demand for chocolate. Chocolate – it was the one thing Sasuke knew would save him from the teacher's mood swings. The cravings, mood swings, and heightened senses were all signs of the man's condition. Yes, Sasuke had dealt with all three when he made the mistake of bringing a box of chocolate ice cream into the house the other night. He had the feeling the exuberant teacher could smell that dairy delight miles away.
Naruto had an even worse time trying to help Iruka. He had been the one to suggest that Iruka move in with them for the rest of the pregnancy – making the surprisingly intelligent points that they were closer to the hospital, Tsunade's office, the academy, and the Missions Office but, most of all, their house was at least four times larger than Iruka's small place. Sasuke also had the feeling Naruto had dangled his culinary skills in front of Iruka in order for the brunet to agree to living with them for a little while.
His blonde lover had made the suggestion out of the love and concern of a brother – and now he was starting to think he made a horrible, horrible mistake when Iruka's angry fits were almost exclusively directed at him. Of course, it was entirely Naruto's own fault, when it started out that Iruka couldn't stand the smell of his shampoo, and then came the inability to bring ramen anywhere near the teacher unless he wanted to send Iruka flying for the bathroom. A few times, Naruto had to follow him because he could hear his brother's gagging no matter how hard he covered his ears.
Then there was Naruto's idiotic names for the baby and his suicidal urge to gently poke and prod his brother's abdomen when Iruka was least expecting it. The first time Naruto, without warning, groped Iruka's middle caused the large holes through several walls of their home. Iruka had, with Tsunade-like strength, thrown his brother through the walls after Naruto gave him an unexpected, gentle touch on his belly while cooing stupidly. That reminded Sasuke that he was having the carpenters come in tomorrow to fix that little problem. Now at least the blonde knew to duck for cover and retreat when he couldn't help himself and gave a little pat to Iruka's midsection.
Glancing over at Iruka, Sasuke couldn't help but wonder how they were going to hide his condition when he really did start showing. Iruka said he didn't want to be treated any differently because he was pregnant – especially not as the biological conundrum he was – but people were bound to notice towards the end of his pregnancy that his bump wasn't just a pudgy belly. Then there was the question of how to explain where the baby came from when he or she was finally born.
They were questions Sasuke knew better than to ask the hormonal brunet at the moment, but were ones that stayed in the back of his head as he watched Naruto and Iruka walk in front of him, for the time looking like a perfectly normal pair of siblings without a problem in the world, when they were anything but.
Before him were the two most important people in his life – the Kyuubi container and a pregnant man dead-set on being a single parent. They were his family and the jounin was struck with how lucky he was to have them. Sasuke felt a smile threaten to show itself as he picked up his step to catch up to them. Leaning over to his boyfriend, he brushed his lips against Naruto's scarred cheek in an unusual display of public affection. When he saw his lover's response of blushing and heard Iruka's soft chuckle, he let that small smile grace his face.
"What the hell bit you?" Naruto asked suspiciously, not entirely trusting his boyfriend's motives for being so cute. Sasuke wasn't so demonstrative – especially not in front of other people – unless he wanted something.
"I love you," was Sasuke's whispered reply in Naruto's ear as the raven-haired man laced their fingers together. When he didn't immediately let go after a moment of holding his lover's hand, as Sasuke was prone to do when they weren't alone, Naruto felt a warming in his chest.
"You two are going to make me sick," Iruka complained, though a smile tugged at his own lips when he saw the pair. Though he was happy that the two young men were being lovey-dovey, a part of him felt a twinge of sadness, knowing that he might never have a similar relationship. Pressing one hand against his growing abdomen, he wished his baby could hear his thoughts.
At least I have you, little one.
