Chapter VIII: Arrival

Fifth Month
�He�s at it again.�
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, one
eyebrow raised. They were sitting on the couch, watching some random show on TV.
Naruto had a hand on her stomach, a strange look in her eyes. �He�s kicking
again.� Naruto winced. �He�s kicking hard.�
Curious, Sasuke also put a hand on
Naruto�s stomach. This was the first time Naruto said anything about the baby�s
movements. For a few moments, he didn�t feel anything, then, there was a tiny
flutter of movement, followed by another one much stronger than the first.
Naruto smiled at the look of wonder
on Sasuke�s face. It was a mirror of the one Naruto had when she first felt the
baby�s movement. The baby�s movements made Naruto realize more than ever that
they were going to have a child soon. �He usually kicks at night, or in the
morning. He�s very active.�
Sasuke gave Naruto a small smile.
�He?�
Naruto blushed slightly. �Well,
it�s just for the sake of conveniences. I�m still not sure what gender the baby
will be.�
�But you want it to be a boy,�
Sasuke said quietly.
�Well, I guess. It would be a lot
of fun to have a boy. We�d pull pranks together.� Naruto laughed at the pained
look that crossed Sasuke�s face. �What about you?�
Sasuke paused to think. He hadn�t
really thought much of what gender the child would be. So long as the baby and
Naruto were healthy, he was happy. Besides, he�d been too worried about what
would happen during the pregnancy to think much about it.
Thankfully, Naruto didn�t have any
more fainting spells as the one the blonde had in the storage room. Neither did
Naruto have those strange nightmares. And Sasuke praised the gods his morning
sickness had ended. Sasuke was also relieved that so far, neither Itachi nor
Orochimaru had made a move to abduct or maim them.
�It doesn�t matter what gender the
baby will be, as long as both of you are healthy,� he said in a soft voice, his
face growing serious for a moment. �Hn�a girl, I suppose,� Sasuke added with a
shrug.
�A girl?� Naruto scratched her
head. Naruto thought Sasuke would prefer a boy as well, for the sake of
reviving the Uchiha clan. �Why a girl?�
So she will have less of a chance of inheriting the Sharingan, Sasuke thought. The Uchiha males
usually inherited the Sharingan. As much as he wanted to revive the Uchiha
clan, Sasuke did not want to burden his child with the Uchiha bloodline limit. He
smirked at Naruto. �A girl would have a less of a chance inheriting your attitude, usuratonkachi.�
Naruto punched Sasuke�s arm. �Hey!
How�d you like to sleep in the sofa for a week, bastard?�
~*~*~*~
�So, Naruto-kun, how are you?�
Hinata asked, smiling fondly at the pregnant blonde as she sat beside Naruto on
a checked blanket spread out on the grass underneath a tree in a sheltered
clearing not far from the Hokage Tower. Naruto usually spent her time
here, and more often than not, Hinata or the other girls visited her. Sometimes,
one of the other guys did, with Shikamaru being Naruto�s most frequent one. Asked
why he liked to spend time with Naruto here, Shikamaru claimed the spot was
perfect for cloud watching. Naruto claimed it was the perfect place for
Shikamaru to hide from his wife.
�Fat,� was Naruto�s short reply.
Then Naruto gave Hinata a wry smile, glancing at Hinata�s big ball of a stomach
that was so much like her own. �Do you always feel this way?�
Hinata smiled back. �Fat,
impatient, sore�most of the time, yes. But I am excited as well.� Since her
early marriage and subsequent pregnancy and birth of her son, Hinata had
matured. Still shy at times, she was now more confident in her abilities. Like
Sakura, she was training to be a medic nin.
�I wish this was over already,�
Naruto said mournfully. �I�m finding it hard to sleep AND move, and I�m getting
to the point I can�t see my feet anymore.�
Hinata laughed and patted Naruto�s
hand. �It�s all right, Naruto-kun. It�ll pass. At least you didn�t get morning
sickness. Sakura-chan couldn�t go to work at the hospital today because she has
it and Ino-chan has been miserable for weeks.�
Naruto grinned. �Sasuke did that
for me.� The image of Sasuke leaning over the sink and throwing up gave Naruto
comfort. At least Naruto hadn�t been the only one suffering.
�Oh, that reminds me, is Sasuke-san
taking the jounin exam next month?�
�Eh? He isn�t. He says he�ll wait
until I give birth before he does.�
�Sasuke-san is very considerate.
He�s putting you first before himself.�
Naruto scowled. �No, he isn�t. He�s not taking the exam because he says there isn�t anyone
worth challenging there. Sasuke thinks I�m the only one worth challenging. I�m
his rival, after all. That bastard! When I get out of this form, I�m going to
beat the crap out of him. Considerate, my ass!�
Hinata smiled. Ah. She�d nearly
forgotten the rivalry between the two.
As they talked, Hinata and Neji�s
son, Hiroshi, crawled across the blanket, looking curiously at the tall grass. The
boy was almost a year old now, and looking more and more like Neji.
Naruto gently ruffled the boy�s
silky blue-black hair. Hiroshi turned and gave Naruto a grave, annoyed look not
unlike the one Neji gave Naruto when he was both amused and annoyed at the
blonde. �Well, Hiro-chan, seems like you�re going to be just like your dad,�
Naruto said with a chuckle.
Hiroshi just stared at him for a
few seconds, and then crawled to his mother�s waiting arms.
�Hey, Hinata,� Naruto said in a
serious voice. The blonde was looking up at the large expanse of blue sky above
them. �Do you think Sasuke and I would be good parents? I mean, I�m not really
the most responsible person, and Sasuke�well, Sasuke is Sasuke.�
Hinata smiled at Naruto.
�Naruto-kun,� she began in a gentle voice as she cuddled her now squirming son
close. �Being a �good� parent isn�t something you�re born to be. It�s something
you gain through experience and time. You �grow� into being a good parent, and
I�m sure you and Sasuke-san will do your very best to become good parents.�
Naruto gave Hinata a gentle smile.
�Thanks, Hinata.�
~*~*~*~
�Hey! That�s cold!�
�Shut up, brat,� Tsunade said to
Naruto as Shizune continued to spread the cold cream out. �This helps with the
conduction of sound, okay? So just bear it!�
Naruto glared at Tsunade. �Easy for
YOU to say, you old hag!� Naruto squirmed uncomfortably at the bed. The blonde
was lying flat on her back to have her first ultrasound. Not only was this an
unsatisfactory position for Naruto, the blonde was also dying for a pee from a
full bladder. �Let�s just get this over with!�
�Maa, Naruto-kun, don�t you want to
see the baby?� Kakashi asked with a placid smile. The silver-haired jounin
stood beside Iruka who was looking at Naruto with an amused expression. On the
other side, Sasuke stood beside Naruto�s bed, his arms crossed over his chest, expressionless
as always.
Naruto gave Kakashi a nasty look.
�Of course I want to see my baby! And what are you doing here? I only asked
Iruka-sensei to come, not you!�
Kakashi grinned at Naruto. �I�m
here to see how you�re doing.� The silver-haired jounin pouted. �I�m hurt.
Don�t you want to share this special moment with your teacher?�
�Not with a perverted teacher like
you!� Naruto shouted back.
�Stop it, both of you,� Iruka
chided. �Naruto, just let Godaime Hokage-sama do the ultrasound already. You
need this so the Hokage would know if your baby�s okay.�
Shizune smiled reassuringly at him.
�Iruka-sensei is right, Naruto-kun. We need to know if your baby is developing
properly. Not that anything�s wrong, but we just want to make sure.�
�Fine,� Naruto grumbled. Naruto
flinched a little as Tsunade began to perform the ultrasound on Naruto. The
screen near the bed lighted up, first showing fuzzy, grayish-blue images, then
slowly, showing something else. Sasuke straightened slightly, while Naruto�s
eyes widened. �Is that��
Tsunade bestowed them a small grin.
�Yes, that�s your baby,� she said, pointing at the tiny pulsating human figure on
the screen. �Ah. Looks like the heart�s fine and strong, and everything�s
developing nicely.�
Naruto didn�t hear what Tsunade was
saying. Naruto kept staring at the screen. That�s
my baby! Naruto glanced over at Sasuke, who was also looking at the screen,
a strange look in his dark eyes. Naruto sought Sasuke�s hand and squeezed it.
Their eyes met, and then they both gazed back at the screen. Sasuke squeezed
back. Our baby. In the background,
Naruto could hear someone sniffling. Shifting slightly, she saw that it was
Iruka. Geez, Iruka-sensei�s such a
crybaby, Naruto thought with a gentle smile.
�Do you want to know what your
baby�s gender is?� Tsunade asked, glancing at them.
�NO!� Naruto blurted out. Naruto
and Sasuke looked at each other again. �We want it to be a surprise at the
birth.�
Tsunade shrugged. �If you say so.�
Then her eyes narrowed, and she peered closer at the screen. �Hmmmm, there�s
something off.�
Naruto froze. �Is something wrong?�
the blonde asked, a thread of fear in her voice. Naruto�s grip on Sasuke�s hand
tightened.
Tsunade shook her head, but she was
still frowning. �There�s nothing wrong, it�s just that the uterus and the
placenta seem to be a bit thicker than
I thought they would be. And there something�s off with the chakra, but that�s
probably because of the charka of the Kyuubi interfering.� She smiled reassuringly
at Sasuke and Naruto. �Other than that, your pregnancy is progressing well, and
you and the baby are as healthy as could be. Now if this would continue until
your due date, everything should be fine.�
Naruto let out a sigh of relief. She�d
been afraid something was wrong with the baby. �That�s good to know. Is the
ultrasound over?�
�Yes.�
Naruto bolted up. �Good. Now I have
to go to the bathroom.�
Ninth Month
Naruto winced as another contraction
hit her lower back. She bit her lip as the pain radiated to the lower abdomen,
spreading to the legs. She gripped one of the bookshelves in the library for
support.
Damn it!
Naruto thought as the pain gradually disappeared. Maybe she should have stayed
home for today instead of going to the Hokage tower for work. However, earlier
that day, she had a sudden burst of energy and the urge to do something.
Naruto had been getting those urges
these past few days. Sometimes, Naruto would find herself scrubbing floors or
doing a general cleaning of the apartment. Not even Sasuke could dissuade her
from her cleaning. Tsunade said Naruto�s urges had something to do with �nesting
instincts�. Naruto was in her ninth month, after all. In a few weeks, Naruto
would be giving birth.
About time, if you ask me! Naruto thought. Gods, I�m
at my patience�s end with waiting. Naruto had had enough of the weight gain
that made her look like a whale, the mood wings, the back pain, and
According to Tsuande, Naruto�s due
date would probably be two weeks from his birthday. On Naruto�s birthday five
days ago, the girls threw a baby shower for Naruto�and for themselves as well,
since most the girls were well into their own pregnancy. In fact, Hinata would probably
be giving birth this week.
Naruto took a deep breath. Contractions
were nothing new to her. Naruto had been having them for months, but not quite
as painful as they were today. Maybe she should go home. However, Naruto still
had to wait for Sasuke to fetch her. Where
are you, you damn bastard?
Naruto then felt a sudden, familiar
presence behind her. To her surprise, Naruto saw Gaara standing on the library
doorway, looking at Naruto curiously. Naruto froze, remembering that Gaara
would be here for a conference with the Hokage. The eyebrowless freak of a panda
bear was Kazekage after all.
�Uzumaki Naruto,� Gaara intoned in
his dead voice. �Why are you in that form?�
�EH?� How the hell did Gaara know
she was Nar�oh yeah, the Shukaku thing. No way could Naruto lie.
Gaara took a step closer, his eyes
widening just a little bit. �Are you with�child?�
Well, gee, with a stomach that stuck out a mile, only a blind person
wouldn�t know. Naruto
folded her arms across her chest. �Yeah, so what?� Naruto demanded
belligerently. She choked back a groan as another contraction hit her. Damn, that was much stronger than the last
time.
Gaara�s green eyes narrowed, and
then to Naruto�s astonishment and rage, the Kazekage began to laugh. �What the
HELL are you laughing about, you bastard! You try being stuck this way!� Naruto
did NOT like being the source of amusement of the redheaded Kazekage.
Gaara stopped laughing, and then
smirked at the fuming blonde. �I believe this is the Uchiha�s doing. He�knocked
you up, I believe the term is.�
�SHUT UP!� Naruto resisted the urge
to strangle Gaara. The old hag might not be happy if Naruto killed the
Kazekage. �What are you doing here?�
�I sensed your presence, and I
decided to pay a visit. I was also curious. Your chakra felt different.�
Kazekage Gaara frowned as Naruto gave a small cry of pain.
�Shit!� Naruto exclaimed. The last
contraction was much, much painful than before, and nearly drove her to her
knees. Oh shit, don�t tell me it�s time!
Naruto�s blue eyes widened. NO way!
�It seems you are in pain. You
might be giving birth,� Gaara remarked in that monotone voice of his.
�And what would you know about giving birth?� Naruto
snapped. She slid down to the floor, leaning against the bookshelves, panting. Naruto
closed her eyes, trying to relax. She could scream for Tsunade, but that would
bring everyone in the Hokage tower in the library. And Naruto couldn�t ask
Gaara, could she?
�Do you want me to assist you?�
Gaara asked, crouching beside him.
Naruto�s eyes snapped open to stare
with open-mouthed disbelief at Gaara. The Kazekage appeared serious with his
offer. An unbidden image of Gaara in a nurse�s uniform and a mask, playing
midwife to Naruto rose in the blonde�s mind. �NO!� Naruto shouted. �I�ll just
wait for Sasuke!�
Gaara rose, towering over Naruto.
�Stay here, Uzumaki Naruto. I will get Uchiha.� With a puff of smoke and a
swirl of sand, Gaara disappeared.
�Bastard!� Naruto shouted. �He left
me alone here!�
~*~*~*~
By some perverse twist of fate,
Sasuke ended up in a joint mission with three of the people who tried to
�rescue� him two years before. That was why he, Shikamaru, Neji, and Lee were
in the same room, talking about the mission. It was also another twist of fate
that the other three people were expectant fathers like him, which meant there
were the usual complaints about their pregnant partners. Sasuke didn�t talk much of how Naruto was doing. Sasuke�s
relationship with the three improved over the last few months�but not THAT
much.
As the four discussed the logistics
for the mission, they felt a sudden burst of chakra. To their surprise, Gaara
of the Sand stood before them. The Kazekage turned to Sasuke, who regarded him
with a glare.
�Uchiha Sasuke,� Gaara said, �Come
with me.�
One of Sasuke�s eyebrows rose.
�Why?�
�Because Naruto is about to give
birth,� Gaara replied in his deep, deadpan voice.
Sasuke tensed, as did the others.
In a few seconds, they appeared at the library.
Sasuke rushed to Naruto�s side then
knelt beside the pregnant blonde, a worried frown on
his face. Naruto had been getting contractions lately, but Tsunade had assured
them (after several false alarms) they
were just �practice contractions�. Naruto was still two and a half weeks from
delivery and wasn�t it said that first babies were usually born late? �Naruto,
are you sure this isn�t just another false ala�� Sasuke never finished his
sentence. Naruto grabbed his collar and pulled his face close.
�Uchiha Sasuke,� Naruto said
through clenched teeth, her breath coming out in harsh pants, �I am in PAIN! I
don�t care if this a false alarm or not, but if you don�t bring me to old hag
Tsunade right now, I swear, I will castrate you with my teeth!�
Sasuke just stared at Naruto,
ignoring the shocked look on the other�s faces. Then he nodded, shifting to
scoop Naruto into his arms. �All right, I�ll��
A loud yelp from Naruto cut off Sasuke�s
words, followed by a soft, gushing sound. Looking down, Sasuke saw a pool of
liquid spreading out from where Naruto was.
�Oh, shit,� Naruto breathed out,
face white with fear. �My water bag just broke.�
~*~*~*~
�Sasuke, you are DEAD!� Naruto
shouted from the OR room. �This is your entire fucking fault! I�m going to kill
you!� The blonde�s choked scream was followed by a loud tearing groan that was
abruptly cut off by a sudden, forceful surge of charka.
�What was that?� Lee asked as he
appeared with a puff of smoke. He�d just come from inspecting the hospital and
making sure no one was making any ruckus that could disrupt Naruto�s labor.
�That�s the Hokage putting up a
charka wall to soundproof the OR,� Kakashi said, not looking up from the book
he was reading, which, of course, was Icha Icha Tactics, the latest volume of
Jiraiya�s Icha Icha series.
�No, I meant the screaming.�
�Oh, that was Naruto screaming her
guts out.� Kakashi blinked at the glares directed him. �Eh? What?�
�Do not be alarmed,� Gaara intoned.
Everyone looked at him with mild surprise. Sasuke glared at him. �It is normal
for a birthing woman to experience great pain. Pain is good,� he continued in
his dead voice. �My mother was in excruciating pain when she gave birth to me.
She continued to curse me and my father throughout her labor and my birth. She
did not stop her curses until Shukaku devoured her.�
Their expression of surprise
quickly turned to one of horror. You�re
telling us not to be alarmed? You�re
not helping at all! everyone thought.
�Kazekage-sama,� Iruka managed to
say, �we are honored by your advice, but please, no more.�
Gaara directed his cool green gaze
at Sasuke. �Uzumaki Naruto is the strongest person I have known in my life.
Uzumaki Naruto will survive this. If Uzumaki Naruto does not, then I will kill
you.�
Sasuke locked gazes with Gaara but said
nothing. Kakashi, however, remarked, �You seem to be getting a lot of death
threats today, Sasuke-kun.�
Iruka nudged Kakashi at the ribs.
�Shut up, Kakashi. You�re not helping at all.�
Sasuke and the others were outside
the Operating Room on the second floor of the Konohagakure Hospital. The floor had been sealed off
under the Hokage�s orders, so they were the only people there. Tsunade and Shizune
personally took charge of
Cradled in Sasuke�s arms, Naruto
was brought to the hospital several hours ago, Neji and the others following
behind.
After Naruto�s �water bag� broke, Lee
had gone to inform the Godaime Hokage, Shizune, Kakashi and Iruka of what had
happened.
Tsunade quickly arrived, and after
banishing the others from the library, calmly examined the groaning Naruto.
However, there was a grave look in her eyes when she finished. �Well, Naruto,
it�s time.�
Naruto�s eyes widened with fear.
Tsunade gripped Naruto�s hand, smiling reassuringly. �It�s going to be all
right. We�ll take care of you and the baby.�
Because of the need for secrecy and
security, Naruto and Sasuke stayed in the library with Shizune until proper
preparations were made for the birth. By the time Sasuke and Naruto arrived at
the hospital, Tsunade, Iruka, and Kakashi were already there. Tsunade had
already ordered sealed off the floor.
Now, it was almost past midnight. Naruto�s water broke early
evening, but the blonde was still in the throes of labor and had only been
sufficiently dilated to be wheeled into the OR a few hours ago. �Does giving
birth usually take this long?� Shikamaru asked Neji, who was leaning against
the wall as he stared at the double doors of the delivery room.
�Most of the time,� Neji replied.
When she gave birth to Hiroshi, Hinata endured about 5 hours of labor, which
was, according to the midwife, rather quick for a firstborn.
�Sasuke-san doesn�t seem to be
worried at all,� Lee remarked, glancing at the Uchiha. Sasuke silently sat on
the bench, dark eyes trained at the doors, his face expressionless as always.
That�s what you think, Kakashi thought as he cast a discreet glance at Sasuke. Though
Sasuke appeared unaffected, Kakashi knew better. He could clearly see how worried
Sasuke was�black eyes darker than usual, muscle cords at the neck tight and
tense. The only thing that kept Sasuke from barging into the delivery room was a
thin thread of patience�and his earlier promise to Naruto not to be an ass.
Sasuke wanted to be in the OR with Naruto, but Tsunade, for some strange
reason, said no.
Iruka was looking worriedly at the
clock happily ticking away. Naruto had been in the OR for a while now. Then the
double doors burst open, revealing Tsunade and Shizune. Iruka�s heart leapt
into his throat when he saw the Godaime Hokage carrying a tiny white bundle in
her arms.
Sasuke immediately shot up from his
seat as soon as the doors burst open. Heart beating fast, his eyes fell on the
white bundle, then at the Hokage�s grave face. �How is Naruto?� he asked in a hoarse
voice.
Tsunade grinned. �He�s fine. You can see the brat in a
while.� Her emphasis on the �he� meant Naruto had returned to his true form. �Congratulations,
Uchiha Sasuke. You have a boy.�
Sasuke hesitantly stepped closer to
Tsunade, who gently transferred the bundle to his arms. The Uchiha awkwardly
held the bundle, holding it close to his chest. Lowering his head, he peered
into the bundle for the first time. Sasuke�s eyes widened when he saw a thatch
of blue-black hair so much like his own. As he continued to look at his newborn
son with wonder, his gaze fell on his son�s face. Red-faced and wrinkled, his
son looked a little absurd with that little button of a nose. Sasuke gave a
sharp intake of breath when he saw the unmistakable hints of whisker scars on
his son�s cheeks. His gaze snapped to Tsunade, who only smiled.
�It�s all right. I�ve checked it
already. Nothing to worry about,� Tsunade said.
Satisfied, Sasuke looked back at
his son, smiling slightly at what could be a miniature version of him. A boy. Well,
Naruto would be pleased. �Can I see Naruto now?� he asked.
Tsunade smiled again, a strange
glint in her eyes. �Wait for a moment. There�s still something else. Why don�t
you give your son to Iruka for a moment?�
Sasuke narrowed his eyes in
suspicion, but obeyed. He reluctantly gave his son to a teary decidedly Iruka,
who cooed over the baby like some new grand mom. �What is it?�
Tsunade turned to Shizune. Then
with a wide grin, Tsunade held out another tiny white bundle to a stunned
Sasuke. �Congratulations again, Uchiha. You have a girl.�
�What? Naruto-kun had twins? A boy
and a girl?� Lee exclaimed, eyes widening in wonder.
�Che. No wonder the birth was so
troublesome,� Shikamaru muttered under his breath.
Sasuke gently took his daughter
into his arms, giving a quiet, shuddering breath as he gazed at her. Her
daughter seemed so small. She had a thick patch of blonde hair on her head just
like Naruto�s. Unlike her twin brother, his daughter did not have any whisker
scars. His daughter�s face scrunched up as she opened her small mouth for a
tiny yawn, her little fists waving in the air. Sasuke stared at Tsunade, then
at the baby. �But how? I thought the ultrasound��
�Well, your daughter played a prank
on us. She probably hid behind her twin so the ultrasound couldn�t detect her.
She�s been keeping herself a big secret all this time,� Tsunade explained with
a rueful smile.
Sasuke glanced back at his daughter
and smiled. Looks like this one got Naruto�s attitude down pat. He had the
sinking feeling he�d have a lot of trouble with his daughter. Touching his
daughter�s cheek briefly, Sasuke held her closer and turned to Tsunade, who had
taken his son into her arms. �Can I see Naruto now?�
The blonde lay on the bed, propped
up by pillows, his eyes closed. Naruto, now in his normal male form, opened his
eyes as Sasuke entered. He grinned when he saw Sasuke�s smile. �I sure hope
you�re happy! It took a LOT of work to get those two out.� He pointed at the girl in
Sasuke�s arms. �Especially THAT one. I pushed and pushed, but she still didn�t
go out!�
Sasuke smirked at Naruto. �Sounds
like she�s as stubborn as you, dobe.�
�What�s that supposed to mean,
bastard?�
�Such language in front of the babies,
Naruto!� Tsunade laid the boy on Naruto�s arms, and then quietly left the room.
Naruto�s grin softened to a smile
as he gazed into their son. �They�re beautiful, aren�t they, Sasuke?�
�Yes, they are,� Sasuke said
quietly, sitting beside Naruto. Their eyes met, and Naruto flushed slightly at
the intensity of Sasuke�s gaze.
�We should probably give them some
names,� Naruto said.
�What do you want their names to
be?� Sasuke asked. �You should be the one to name them. You�re the one who did
the most work, after all.�
Naruto glared at Sasuke. �I hate
you when you�re like that.� Naruto thought for a moment. Then he grinned. �The
girl�s easy. I�d name her Hisoka, because she kept herself a secret all this
time. But the boy�.� Naruto glanced at Sasuke�s dark eyes, and found the answer
there. �I think Hikaru would do. Uchiha Hikaru and Uchiha Hisoka.�
�Light and Secret? What an odd
combination,� Sasuke remarked with a smirk.
�Hey, you asked me to name them,�
Naruto pointed out. He shook his head. �I still can�t believe we had twins. They�re
going to be a lot of trouble, aren�t they?�
�They�re worth it.� Sasuke leaned
over, and gave Naruto a chaste kiss on the lips.
Outside the hospital, a shooting
star streaked across the star-filled sky, an omen for things to come.
~*~*~*~
In the darkness of his room,
Orochimaru smiled. Licking his lips, he lifted his head and met Kabuto�s eyes.
His smile grew into a wicked grin. �Well, well, Sasuke-kun. What a wonderful
gift you have for me.�
~T.B.C.~
Author�s note:

Sharingan and powers up chidori*
Iruka: *faints*
Truth is, the birth was waaaaay overdue. We should have
posted it by Chapter 7, but I, twisted-sheets, was a bit lazy. Hehehe�sorry. I
was busy looking for work. XD
The twins: Did you like them? If you want to
see a fanart of them, go to http://www.reflections-shadows.deviantart.com.
God, I feel sorry for the girl already. With a dad like Sasuke, she would
probably die an old maid. And yes, they have different birthdays, because
Hikaru was born on a few minutes before midnight, but Hisoka a few minutes after midnight. XD
The birth: Poor Shikamaru and Lee. Now
they�ll be filled with dread when their wives give birth. XD Ahhhh�I wanted
Sasuke in the OR, but I changed my mind. And yes, most first babies are born
late, but there are always exceptions to the rules, ne? The duration of labor
to the actual birth varies. It could go for days, or for a few hours. Naruto
took a while to give birth. And labor has several stages. Usually, doctors wait
until a pregnant woman�s cervix is dilated (I�m not sure how much) before they
are wheeled into the delivery/operating room to do the �huffing, puffing,
pushing and screaming�.
Sasuke: Yes, he broods. He angsts. Well,
that�s Sasuke. XD He�s afraid his kid would grow up like him, or like Itachi,
which is why he preferred a girl. And now he got his wish. Poor Hisoka-chan�XD
God, I can�t write a sappy Sasuke at all.
Naruto: Hehehe�I could almost see Naruto
teaching his son Sexy no Jutsu�or maybe Thousand Years of Pain. Hooooooo
booooy! Hikaru�s going to live up to many expectations! Having such skilled
parents could be a pain in the ass sometimes. He�ll probably inherit Sasuke�s
fan girls.
Kazekage Gaara: Poor, poor Gaara. He comes
visiting and what does he end up doing? Helping a �laboring� Naruto. Yes, Ghostninja85, he wasn�t exactly a
midwife, but he came close, very
close. I hope he wasn�t OOC.
Sharingan and Gender: Hmmm�not sure if the Sharingan is
exclusive among Uchiha males, but so far, we haven�t seen any Uchiha females
(past) with the Sharingan, so we�ll assume the Sharingan is more dominant in
Uchiha males that Uchiha females. Is anyone familiar with genetics here?
The ultrasound: I�m assuming the Naruto world has
all the comforts of the modern world�including medical equipment. XD I know
Kishimoto-sensei said something about this in an interview. Heck, there�s even
a TV in Sasuke�s room in the Uchiha compound. XD Naruto�s in her fifth month,
so that means the fetus is more human looking. Didn�t want to do the ultrasound
earlier, �cause then the fetus looks like a peanut.
Hyuuga Hiroshi: And yes, that was Hinata and
Neji�s firstborn son. XD He�s adorable, isn�t he? We have plans for that
boy�wait until you see the other kids! You�ll love Rock Lee and Sakura�s kid!
Twisted-sheets: Hey, Mr. Glowy-scroll, what is
your role, anyway?
Scroll: :pissed: Don�t call me
GLOWY-SCROLL! I am an ancient scroll with mysterious powers. My role is a
secret! You�ll find out in the future!
Next chapter: If Sasuke and Naruto thought being
pregnant with twins was hard, they are about to find out that they are
wrong�very, very wrong. Raising them is. XD Diapers, sleepless nights, crying
fits�and did I mention Orochimaru? The true plot of Reflections and Shadows begins! YEAH! FINALLY!
And yeah, if you want to know when we update, just say so
and put your e-mail address. XD
Thank you for reading!
See you at the next chapter! XD
