Author's note: I know I promised more Uchiha showing up, but the appointment with Tsunade and the conversation with Itachi took up more space than I anticipated *coughs* So yeah, more Uchiha will show up in the next chapter normally.
Warnings: drama; nothing else in particular I think
I hope you'll like this chapter!
Chapter 9
The silence was so thick in the heavy room, even the sound of a needle being dropped would be swallowed up by it.
"Well, now I know why you look so familiar, un," Deidara was the one brave enough to break the silence, gazing at Sasuke apologetically.
That certainly didn't do anything to lighten the atmosphere. Sasuke balled his hands into fists and clenched his jaw, glaring at his older brother.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he hissed, resembling a panther ready to strike too eerily for Naruto's liking.
Sakura must have been of the same opinion, because she tightened her hold around Sasuke's arm, casting a wary glance at Itachi.
Slowly Itachi closed the distance between them until he ended up standing on Deidara's other side. "Deidara has his check-up today," he answered slowly, carefully. His black eyes – similar to Sasuke's – were blank, but alert. "Why else would we be here? I suppose for you con - "
"Uchiha-san?" Tsunade's assistant, a friendly looking woman called Shizune, knocked on the open door and leant inside. She looked at her clipboard and then back at the people gathered in the room. "I've got an Uchiha-san scheduled for four thirty."
"That's our appointment," Sakura announced, tugging at Sasuke's arm. "Come on, let's go. Shishou doesn't like to be kept waiting for too long."
"We're going to talk," Sasuke addressed Itachi grimly, who inclined his head in agreement. "Come on, Naruto."
"Right," Naruto muttered, rising up from his chair. He threw a cautious look at Itachi and met Deidara's eyes briefly before he followed his friends into the hallway.
Shizune led them to Tsunade's office where she knocked briefly on the door. "Uchiha-san is here for the appointment, Tsunade-sensei," she called out.
"Enter," was the muffled reply and after a quick smile, Shizune opened the door and the small group entered, Naruto as the first one, followed by Sasuke and Sakura.
The busty doctor was seated at her desk and light brown eyes flicked up when they approached her. "Take a seat," she said, mentioning at the chairs in front of her desk.
Casting a furtive glance at Sasuke – the man's face was set in a deep scowl, which was a sharp contrast to the posters depicting happy men in the waiting room – Naruto took the first seat, clasping his hands between his legs. Sasuke sank down next to him, crossing his legs, while Sakura took the last seat, looking equally unnerved as exciting.
"So, Sakura told me that you took a couple of tests a few weeks ago," Tsunade started and the look she gave the blond man told him more than enough.
He could expect a discussion about his decision later on. Fantastic.
"Yeah, they were all positive," he muttered, rubbing his hands together.
"All right, just to confirm it officially – as the tests could still be wrong – I'll examine you now. Today the examination is mainly to confirm the pregnancy and see how many weeks you're pregnant so far," she said briskly and stood up. "I'm also going to take your blood pressure and take some blood to make sure you're completely healthy."
"A bit late to do that, no?" Naruto muttered and flushed when she narrowed her eyes.
"Well, if a certain someone had been more forthcoming these past few months, I wouldn't have to do this," she pointed out with a poisonous sweet smile and he swallowed.
Yes, he was definitely in deep shit. Fuck.
"Now go sit on that table," she ordered, turning around to take the blood pressure monitor.
Figuring it was in his best interest to not piss her off further, he hastily made his way to the examination table and hopped onto it, grimacing at the way the paper crinkled underneath his arse.
"Roll up your sleeve," she commanded, pulling a small stool towards her so that she could sit down on it.
He removed his coat and rolled up his right sleeve, holding it out. The device was slipped around his arm and soon he experienced that light tightening sensation that always accompanied having his blood pressure taken. Tsunade hummed in approval before removing the blood pressure monitor and exchanging it for a needle and three small bottles.
Naruto grimaced at the slight sting when the needle sank into his vein and looked away, not keen on seeing his blood fill the bottles. He wasn't exactly squeamish around blood, but well …
"All right, that's done," Tsunade announced after she had filled the last bottle and replaced the cotton bud with a round bandage. "Now, lie down and lift up your sweater." She looked behind her at the couple still seated at her desk. "And you two, come here, so that you can take a look at the baby."
Sakura practically jumped off her chair, an excited grin on her face as she rushed towards Naruto's left side while Tsunade set up the screen on the blond's right. Sasuke followed closely behind and his scowl had lessened; his eyes flitting back and forth between Naruto's bared stomach and the still dark screen of the monitor.
"This is going to feel cold at first," Tsunade warned Naruto and the next moment he gasped in surprise when a cold gel like substance was spread out over his stomach. Amusement tinted her voice when she said, "I told you."
He scowled at her, but didn't deign her amusement worthy of a verbal reply. Instead he turned his head slightly and stared at the screen as the monitor started up, emitting a barely audible buzzing noise. The transducer was placed on his stomach and Tsunade slowly started to move it around, staring intently at the screen.
"Sooo, what's the verdict?" Naruto asked, a tad nervous when the seconds ticked by in absolute silence. As far as he could see, there was nothing on the screen except for some shifting grey mass and he started to wonder whether the tests had been a fluke and he wasn't pregnant after all. Three pregnancy sticks being faulty didn't sound plausible, but stranger things had happened.
"You're eight weeks pregnant," Tsunade confirmed, sliding the transducer right underneath his bellybutton. She pointed at a particular spot on the right side of the screen. "You see this light coloured spot here? That's the baby."
"Oh my god," Sakura gasped and her fingers wrapped around Naruto's wrist, squeezing it gently. "You're actually pregnant, Naruto!" Awe filled her voice, but there was also an undercurrent of sadness in it and Naruto looked away, feeling strangely guilty all of a sudden.
It had to be difficult for Sakura now – being excited about the baby while simultaneously wanting to have been the one who carried it. Swallowing, he turned his attention to Sasuke and stilled when he saw the look of absolute wonder etched onto the older man's face. He had stepped closer, his eyes glued onto the screen, and for the first time since they had begun this, Naruto realised just how much Sasuke had been longing for a child. It was written all over his face and blue eyes glanced away; the younger man feeling like he was intruding on a private moment.
Tsunade gave them a few moments to stare at the screen and with a start Naruto realised that this was really happening now. The baby was no longer an abstract concept, but actually there, inside his womb and his breathing hitched. Sure, the tests had told him that he was knocked up, that he and Sasuke had succeeded, but there was a stark difference between looking at some tests and actually seeing the baby with his own eyes. He could no longer pretend that nothing was happening – in eight months he would be giving birth.
Holy shit, he was actually pregnant!
While he was having his private freak out, Tsunade shut off the monitor and gave him some paper towels to wipe the mess off his stomach.
"Provided that nothing goes wrong, your next appointment will be in March," she remarked, washing her hands at the small sink in the right corner of her office. "How bad is the morning sickness, Naruto?"
"What?" He shook his head, ripping himself out of his thoughts, and blinked. "Eh, doable, I suppose? I mean, it's only some mornings, not the entire week and not the entire day either."
She nodded. "That's good. Just make sure you eat well and drink enough. That also means cutting down on the ramen – a lot," she added meaningfully and he glowered at her.
"We'll make sure he won't eat too much ramen," Sakura reassured the older woman and the maniac glint in her green eyes made Naruto start mourning for his ramen stock at home.
"So he doesn't need to come for a check-up next month?" Sasuke inquired; his eyes oddly intense.
The doctor shook her head. "No, not unless something is wrong." She dried off her hands and returned to her desk, flipping a notebook open. "What do you say about the twenty-sixth of March? You can have the slot of five o'clock." She looked up questioningly. "Would that work for all three of you?"
"I haven't received my schedule for that month yet, but it'll be fine," Sakura replied confidently. "That Ino pig owes me some favours anyway, so if it comes to that I can switch shifts with her."
"I can take the time off," Sasuke murmured.
"I've got my last class at three, so that works for me," Naruto muttered, balling up the used paper and throwing them in the small bin next to the monitor. He slid off the examination table, pulling his sweater back down. A pale hand entered his vision and he accepted his jacket after a pause, looking at Sasuke startled.
Black eyes looked away quickly and the man made his way back to the desk, where Sakura had already taken her seat again. Raising an eyebrow, Naruto followed him, slipping back into his jacket.
"Okay, I've scheduled you in," Tsunade mumbled, jotting something down in her notebook.
"Then we're finished for today?" Sakura inquired; her eyes glittering.
"Yes, we're finished," the blonde woman confirmed, before pointing a pen at Naruto, who stiffened. "Except for you – you and I need to have a little talk before you can leave."
"I don't want to keep Deidara-san waiting," Naruto said hastily, remembering that the other blond man had the appointment after him.
She quirked an eyebrow and eyed the clock meaningfully. "I still have ten minutes left. That'll be more than enough," she commented airily, dropping her pen on the desk.
He threw a pleading look at Sasuke and Sakura, but Sakura just snorted, looking way too amused for the predicament he was in, and Sasuke looked back unimpressed.
Traitors, the both of them.
With a huff Naruto sank back down on his chair, crossing his arms petulantly.
"We'll wait for you," Sasuke said calmly. "We'll bring you home so that you won't have to take the bus."
"Don't kill your brother, bastard," Naruto retorted and just like that the glare was back full force on Sasuke's face.
"Thanks for that, Naruto," Sakura sighed, shaking her head, before following her husband out of the room. The door closed with an audible 'click'.
Tsunade didn't beat around the bush. "What the hell were you thinking, brat?" she snapped, throwing herself so roughly back into her chair that the furniture creaked dangerously.
"I was thinking I could help out my friends," he bit out, not at all appreciating her tone.
She rubbed her hands over her face and uttered a sound of frustration. "Naruto, do you actually realise what you got yourself into?" she questioned incredulously.
He threw his hands up in the air, more than fed up by now about the shit he was receiving for this. Why did everyone think they knew better than him? "Yes, I do! I know you think I'm stupid, but I actually know what I'm doing! Shocker, right?" he sneered.
"I don't think you're stupid, brat," she retorted impatiently, glaring at him. "I do think you make the occasional stupid decision, and Naruto, this has got to be one of the stupidest decisions you've made so far. How can you possibly think that this will end well? Why the hell didn't you talk to me about this when I saw you in December?"
"Because you would have tried to change my mind about it!" he exclaimed. "And sorry, baa-chan, but it's not any of your business whether I'm their surrogate or not. I made my decision, they agreed, and now it's done."
"Look, Naruto, I understand that you want to help your friends, but this is rather extreme," she sighed and regarded him wearily. "You might think you know what you're doing, but you're underestimating the impact this will have on you."
"I'll be fine," he brought out through gritted teeth; his nails digging into the soft flesh of his palms when he balled his hands. "I know what I'm doing, okay? This pregnancy – I'm not going to change my mind, I promise. Once the baby is born, I'll hand him or her over to Sasuke and Sakura and everything will be fine. I just want to help them out, baa-chan. They deserve to have a baby and I can give them that."
"God, Naruto, you …" she trailed off, shaking her head. She stared at the ceiling for a moment before releasing another sigh and lowering her head to look at him again. "Fine. Just – if you need someone to talk to about this, you can talk to me, okay?"
"I know," he said, relaxing slowly. "I'll be okay," he repeated, hoping to reassure her.
Judging by the look on her face, he wasn't successful.
When Naruto entered the waiting room again, he noted that Itachi was still alive – but Sasuke's face didn't promise anything good.
"Sooooo," he said slowly, looking back and forth between the two brothers, "had a good talk?"
"We figured it would be easier if we waited until after Deidara-san's appointment to have the talk," Sakura said, smiling uncomfortably. Her fingers were wrapped around Sasuke's wrist and she was sitting ramrod straight in her chair.
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife.
"So what? You've sat in silence all this time?" Naruto asked incredulously and was met with one warning look – Sakura -, one weary pair of blue eyes – Deidara – and two identical glares – Sasuke and Itachi.
"You guys are unbelievable," Naruto muttered exasperatedly and took the seat next to Sasuke. "Are we going to wait here then until the appointment is finished or?"
"Perhaps it would be easier if we meet at someplace else," Itachi said; his face as unreadable as always. "What do you say about meeting at the Three White Flowers?"
"Suits me," Sasuke replied flatly, sitting as immobile as a statue.
A knock on the door made them all turn their heads. Shizune was there again with her clipboard once more in her hand. "Uchiha-san? I've got another Uchiha-san for five o'clock?" she announced confused; her gaze darting between Naruto and Deidara and Itachi.
"That's us," Deidara smiled and stood up, tugging Itachi along with him. Whether it was coincidence or not, he kept himself between Itachi and the others as they followed Shizune outside.
"You don't have to wait," Sasuke told Naruto as soon as the door had swung shut. "I can drive you home if you want."
The blond man quirked an eyebrow. "Like hell you will," he snorted, crossing his arms. "Someone has to make sure you stay civilized. Besides, I want to hear his reasons too."
He had witnessed with his own eyes how much Itachi loved his little brother. For him not to have been in contact with the younger man for ten years … He had to have good reasons for that. He better had good reasons.
"You want to make sure I stay civilized?" Sasuke repeated incredulously, shaking off Sakura's hand. "Who's the one who got into fights when we were younger?"
"Oh please, like you were such an angel." Blue eyes rolled and Naruto rose up. "Come on, let's go. We can order something to drink while we wait."
"Fine," Sasuke ground out, standing up as well. "But don't get involved; getting agitated won't do you any good now."
"Well then, you best stay civilized then, hm?" Naruto chirped, waggling his finger.
"The both of you behave," Sakura muttered, snatching her purse from the chair. "Let's go. We still have a bit before their appointment is over."
And then things would become interesting; that Naruto was sure about.
Itachi looked as composed as ever when he sat down on the chair across from Sakura. Deidara chose the seat next to him, ending up right across from Naruto.
"First, I want to introduce you to my fiancé, Deidara," Itachi said calmly. "Deidara, you've met Naruto-kun; this is my brother Sasuke and …" he trailed off, frowning slightly as he studied Sakura.
The pink haired woman reddened a bit before inclining her head. "I'm Sakura, his wife."
"Nice to meet you, un, " Deidara smiled, but there was a hint of nerves audible in his voice.
"Can I get you something to drink?" The waitress popped up next to them, looking at the newly arrived couple expectantly.
"Water is fine," Deidara replied with a smile.
"Black tea," Itachi ordered and as soon as the waitress left, he turned back to Sasuke and let out a small sigh. "Ask any question you want."
"How gracious of you," Sasuke said snidely and the older Uchiha clenched his jaw. "Why the hell didn't you try to get into contact with me?"
He sounded angry, verging on being rude, but Naruto caught the brief flash of hurt in dark eyes and he pressed his lips together, wishing he could offer his friend some comfort. Save for that one time Sasuke had raged and lashed out a week after Itachi had left, he had never mentioned his older brother again. Naruto knew his best friend well enough, however, to know that the dark haired man had always carried the hope that his older brother would come back one day.
That Itachi hadn't seemingly seen the need to contact his brother once in all those years had to hurt immensely.
Itachi's face darkened and Deidara looked down; a grimace painting his features. "I didn't want to mess up your life."
Sasuke snorted harshly; his fingers tightening around his own cup of tea. "Mess up my life? How huge is your ego that you think you'd be able to - "
"I know you remember how focused father was on me and how little he paid attention to you," Itachi interrupted him and abruptly Sasuke quietened; his face smoothing out into pure blankness. "I had urged father for years to pay more attention to you and your success' but he was … persistent. Until I told him I'm gay."
The older man was silent for the time it took the waitress to place their orders on the table, but the moment she was gone, he continued, "I'm certain you can recall the fights between father and me about my preferences. He gave me an ultimatum: either I stopped being a disgrace to the family or I would no longer be considered part of it."
Sakura uttered a soft noise of shock, her eyes wide, but Naruto wasn't that surprised. Fugaku had never been an easy man and he was very traditional; he would never have accepted one of his children being gay. Itachi being given that particular ultimatum was right in the line of what Naruto had expected from Fugaku.
"I wasn't about to live a life full of lies, so I left," Itachi went on, sounding unbothered by his father's refusal to accept him. "Mother called me a couple of times after that, but I knew she had got into trouble with father for it, so I decided that it was better if I cut all ties with the family. With me gone, I knew father would focus on you – the only son who didn't disappoint him."
A bitter smile graced his lips. "While being father's focus is never pleasant, it's still better than facing his displeasure. Sasuke, if I hadn't known how badly father would have reacted, I would have kept in touch with you. I didn't want to mess up the relationship between you two, so I decided it would be better if I didn't try to contact you again." For the first time since they had encountered each other in the waiting room, a hint of pain slipped in his voice. "I didn't want to leave you behind, but you don't deserve to face father's wrath either."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Sasuke whispered and his eyes were practically burning. "You arrogant son of a bitch! I don't need your bloody protection from father! If you really didn't want to leave me behind, you'd have found a way to contact me!"
Looking paler than before, Itachi started, "Sasuke, I …"
"You think being the object of father's attention was fun these past ten years? You think he got better after you left? Well guess what, nii-san," Sasuke sneered, baring his teeth. "He didn't! He still thinks he can run other people's lives. If you had fucking stayed, you could have hel – you know what?" He breathed out harshly and suddenly shot up. "Why do I even care? You made your choice, I get it. Enjoy the rest of your life, arsehole!"
Several other patrons stared as Sasuke stormed out of the café; the door banging shut behind him, causing the windows to rattle with the force.
"Well, that could have gone better, un," Deidara stated blankly.
Wasn't that the understatement of the year?
