Stating the Obvious
Chapter: 1
Sakura paced around the exam room waiting for her mentor. She was now three months pregnant, but because of the twins it looked more like five. This didn't bother her, though. No, she was very happy about the life growing within her. Itachi would have been there with her, but he had been sent on a mission now that he had done his village the service of repopulating his clan. He would be gone for a couple of weeks this time. Sakura didn't mind, he always came back to her.
The door slid open. "You shouldn't pace like that."
Sakura smiled at her mentor. "I know, I'm just nervous, and walking will make the birth easier, anyway."
"Yes, but your nervousness can make your babies' heartbeats erratic. Now, lie back on the table and raise your shirt."
Sakura complied and soon she felt Tsunade's chakra enveloping her distended belly in warmth. After a few moments she pulled away.
"Well, it looks like they're both very healthy." She smiled at her pupil. "I want you back every month for a check-up due to the complications that can arise when pregnant with twins."
"Don't worry, I will." With a smile Sakura left the room in search of lunch for three. As she neared Ichiraku's her stomach rumbled ravenously. She looked down at her traitorous belly. "Oh, come on! I've had nothing but Ramen for four days, can't you two crave something else?" Even as she complained her feet led her into the little ramen stand. Upon her entrance Naruto looked up from his bowl.
"Hey! Sakura-chan! How are you and the munchkins?"
Sakura rolled her eyes at the rambunctious blonde. "Hungry."
Naruto's eyes widened. "For ramen? Again?"
She sighed and sat down next to him. "Unfortunately. It seems that I'm craving one of the few things that I normally have to choke down."
Slumping on his stool he gave her a sideways glance. "That's cold, Sakura-chan."
Laughing, she ordered her usual while she and Naruto talked about nothing. As she got up to leave he paid for both meals.
"You know you didn't have to do that, right?"
Naruto blushed and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Aw, come on, can't I treat my niece and nephew to lunch?"
Sakura smiled and hugged him. "Of course you can."
"So , do you know what you're going to name them?"
Sakura laid a hand on her swollen belly. "Not yet, but we're going to come up with a few once Itachi gets back from his mission."
"I'm surprised he agreed to go back to active duty, but I guess he's gotta provide for you guys now. I just hope nothing happens to him before he gets to see his kids."
"Me too, Naruto, me too."
Noticing the somewhat saddened look in her eyes Naruto quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, do you want to go check up on Sasuke? I'm sure he's going crazy being stuck in the village for the last three and a half months."
Sakura laughed. "Probably, but I don't want to just drop by due to what happened last time."
Naruto pulled a face. "Ugh, no kidding. I swear I'll never eat at his place ever again after what I saw."
"Yeah, who woulda thought that Sasuke would be in such a hurry to do it on the kitchen table?"
"Definitely not me." He looked a little queasy. "Great, now I'm starting to get sick." He glared at Sakura. "Thanks, I had almost forgotten the view of Sasuke's naked ass."
Sakura had to grab onto him, she was laughing so hard that tears were running down her cheeks.
"AHEM!" Sasuke was standing behind them. "Why exactly are you two talking about my naked ass!?"Naruto started to stumble over his words. "Sasuke! I…uh…I…"
At this point Sakura couldn't breath she was laughing so hard and finally had to sit down on the ground because her legs would no longer hold her up. Sasuke looked like a scowl had been permanently drawn on his face.
He turned to Naruto. "Ya know, I don't appreciate you talking about my private matters in public."
Naruto just couldn't help himself. "Then you should probably put up some curtains on your kitchen windows."
Sakura looked up at the two of them from her place on the ground, finally able to stifle her giggles. "Aw, come on you two. You're not going to start a fight here in the street are you?"
They both turned to look at her.
"Of course, not Sakura-chan!" He nudged Sasuke in the ribs. "Right Sasuke?"
"Hn." He grunted his assent while helping her up off the ground.
"I'm glad. Now, Sasuke, how are you guys doing?"
Naruto looked at Sakura. "Besides going at it like bunnies?"
Sasuke let out a growl before stalking away from the two.
Naruto laughed himself silly at Sasuke's retreating back.
"Oh, come on, Naruto, you should be nicer to Sasuke." She turned and winked at the blonde. "This is the first time he's been out of his house in weeks."
"You're so right, Sakura." A truly malicious grin spread across his face. "Hey, Sasuke, how is Hana doing, the last time I saw her she was limping and threatened me when I asked her why."
Sasuke growled again as the two of them erupted into another fit of giggles sat his expense and started to walk faster trying to hide the very prominent blush on his cheeks.
