Hiya y'all, if you've read this story since the start then you'll know by now I don't really have a very good schedule when it comes to updating, and I get writing blocks left and right, so honestly thank you all for sticking through with me and this crap story. Sorry it's been so long! Also, I did get some PM's about the OOCness of the characters, I have mentioned before about how they'll be OOC but only briefly, so I don't blame anyone for the confusion. I'll make sure to mention it a lot more often, because, well... Naruto's a bit of a fucking asshole and a little stuck-up in this story and Sasuke is kind of shy-ish? So...

But also, this chapter is only 838 words and I'm so sorry for that. But I just wanted to get something out and give you guys something... gah.


The deafening roar of the crowd beneath him, celebrating the first union of the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom, had nothing on the volume of his own heartbeat. Because if Naruto heard correctly, Sasuke just told him he was...

"Pregnant. Naruto, pregnant." Sasuke reminded him, as all Naruto did for the last-minute or so was stare into nothing.

"I... Ho-"

"I mean, it's not for definite, but there's a very high possibility. I've been showing, uh, signs... And the pill I took before our last wedding ceremony still hasn't expired yet so..." Sasuke trailed off, feeling shy under Naruto's strong gaze, "But I'll go get checked by the Doctor, soon.."

Naruto continued to stare at Sasuke for another full minute, before turning his eyes back towards the crowd of his- their, people. He noticed the vigorous waves of the red and blue flags slow their pace, and the crowds uproar slowly quieting down, obviously sensing that there was something wrong with their future King's.

Naruto's simple stupored stare narrowed into an intense glare and his jaw ticked irrately.

"Smile." Naruto hissed between clenched teeth.

"Wh... What?"

"I said fucking smile and act like you didn't drop a huge bombshell on me during our Goddamn wedding ceremony. Smile so those Goddamn people down there actually believe that what we have between us is real and will work out."

Sasuke winced at Naruto's cruel words. He thought if he told Naruto, he'd be happy for him.. for them. Clearly he was wrong. Putting on the most convincing smile he could considering the circumstances, Sasuke smiled down towards the crowd and gave a shy wave. The crowd instantly picked up and the uproar uplifted once more.

He truly regretted it all.

"Iruka, tell someone to bring the cart around at once. Sasuke needs to go see Doctor Hidan." Naruto commanded, putting on his outdoors coat as Sasuke slowly trailed behind.

"Doctors?!" Iruka exclaimed, "What on Earth does he have to go to the Doctor's fo-,"

"Iruka." Naruto hissed. "May I remind you that I am the Prince and future King of the Wind Kingdom and you are nothing but a mere courtier. I would refrain from asking further questions if I was you."

"Naruto! There's no need to take your anger out on Iru-" Sasuke began, but paused when Iruka simply raised his right hand.

"It's quite alright Prince Uchiha, I'll happily ask someone to bring the cart to escort you to the hospital, as I am, but nothing, a mere courtier." Iruka said coldly, intensely staring at Naruto who refused to meet his eyes. "I'll take my leave."

After watching Iruka quickly walk down the hall, Sasuke's gaze turned to Naruto and narrowed.

"There was absolutely no need to talk to him that way. Iruka has been in your family for years and is almost a brother to you, there was absolutely no need."

"No need? No fucking need? I just had my new husband tell me he's now carrying our child after being married, for what, an hour now?" Naruto yelled, quickly slapping his jaw as the twitch from before has yet faded. "Do you seriously expect me to go out tomorrow and make another announcement to my- our people. And tell them, oh hey, the Kingdom is also going have a bastard child as a Prince too because of a stupid mistake!"

"Mistake? Was that what it was to you? A mistake" Sasuke hushed sadly. He never thought Naruto would see them sleeping together as that. Anything but that.

There was a pregnant pause.

Naruto sighed, "That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"I just mean... I wasn't even ready to get married, and now, now there's about a 98% possibility of me having a kid too? Everything is moving so, so fast." Naruto rubbed his palms over his face.

Sasuke simply stared for a few, noticing the amount of stress Naruto was experiencing now. Despite the harsh words, Sasuke knew Naruto never meant them, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the Wind Prince.

"We'll get through it."

Naruto peaked through the cracks of his fingers.

"If anyone can, we can. Or, at least me. I'm a Uchiha afterall."

Sasuke knew he won when he heard Naruto laugh.


Other news, quite bad, I'll probably being taking a hiatus from this story. I'm having such a struggle writing for this, if you haven't noticed already, and I feel like if I just don't take a break, more chapters like this will just be released. And this chapter sucks ass. I know it's already been almost a year since I last updated and you're probably thinking "wasn't that a break enough?" but just, bah.

Really really sorry, and I'll post an author's note if anything changes/comes up. Thank you so much. I just didn't want to leave this story alone and not give you any notice.
