Chapter Seventeen

Birth

"Come on, brat, you gotta push!" encouraged a beautiful, busty, blonde woman wearing a white doctor's coat. The name tag on her coat read: Senju Tsunade

"I am pushing, Baa-chan! Damn it! Sex is banned from my life!" screamed Naruko. Sweat drenched her hospital gown as yet another scream ripped past her lips. In the delivery room, Sasuke stood next to Naruko; her screams of agony filled the room, trying to deliver their first child into the world. Staring at his wife, hair in disarray, the grip she had on his hands was threatening to break all his fingers, face scrunching up in pain whenever it came time for her to push.

Sasuke was so glad that for once he did not have his phone on silent while he was in the middle of a meeting. When he answered, the only thing he heard was Naruko groaning in pain, urging him to hurry home, before hanging up the phone abruptly. Sasuke immediately panicked and without question rushed out the door, ignoring all of the odd looks his employees were giving him. Luckily, Sakura was there to cover the things he hadn't had time to bring up and was able to take over for him.

Sasuke rushed home, and then opened the door, calling out Naruko's name. He panicked when she didn't respond back and ran straight to their room. That was when he heard gasping sounds coming from their bathroom. Opening the door, there he saw Naruko, knuckles white as she gripped the sink, pain expressed in her deep blue eyes; a wet stain could be spotted on the orange sweatpants she was wearing.

"S-Sasuke... I believe my water broke... The baby is coming! The baby is coming now!" she screamed in his face, before once again wincing when she felt another contraction. Seeing Naruko's expression, Sasuke was brought back into the reality of the situation and quickly brought Naruko to his car. He was so glad they did not live too far from Konohagakure Hospital. Once there, they ran into Naruko's godmother, the owner of the hospital, who quickly set up a room for her goddaughter.

When Sasuke had the time, he made a phone call to Naruko's mother, nerves so frayed that he was only able to get out, "Naru is in the hospital. Baby's coming!" before hanging up and rushing immediately back to Naruko's side. Time passed; the rest of the family soon showed up. This first consisted of Naruko's two parents. Following Naruko's parents were Sasuke's own, including his brother, and even Iruka showed up. It had been Kushina who had made the call to inform the rest of them of the situation.

Sasuke wasn't aware of how much time had passed; his only concern was for his wife and child. Heck, he didn't even notice when Kushina arrived in the delivery room. "Fuck, this hurts!" cursed Naruko when she felt yet another contraction.

"Of course it hurts, Naru-chan! You're giving birth to a baby!" Kushina stood beside her daughter's bed for moral support, while Tsunade and the nurse who was assisting her kept repeatedly telling Naruko to push. Taking in this scene, along with his mix of emotions of worry, concern, and anxiety, Sasuke couldn't help but think back to the day he asked out Naruko for the second time. It took Sasuke four months for it to finally get through Naruko's thick-skull that, yes he was interested in her, and yes, he wanted to be more than friends with her. It took him six months before he could finally ask out Naruko again.

Flashback

"Look, dobe, I really like you. I like you so much that I wish to take you out on dates like other sappy idiot couples who can't control their hormones. I wish to get to know you, flaws and all. I like you so much that I'm standing out here in the middle of the rain, confessing my feelings for you. So will you, Namikaze Naruko, go out with me, Uchiha Sasuke." Two teens stood in the middle of the street, rain pouring from the sky, drenching them completely.

Sasuke couldn't believe what he was doing; this was not how he planned on confessing his feelings, but for some reason, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. For months now his and Naruko's relationship had gotten better; Sasuke could even consider them as friends. Each day, Naruko would walk with him and they would share a conversation, which led to each of the two getting to know a little more about each other.

There were even times that they visited each other's house to play video games. Sasuke would never forget how thrilled his mother was when she found out Sasuke invited a friend over. She squealed with excitement when she opened the door and found out that the friend was a cute, nice girl. Naruko even dragged him off to eat at some cheap ramen restaurant from time to time, and though he may have appeared reluctant at the time, he really didn't mind as he got to spend more time with her.

But Sasuke didn't want to be just Naruko's friend, no, he wanted to be something more with her. Damn it, enough was enough! This had to be stopped before he ended up being friendzoned by the idiot blonde just like her other admirers were. This was something which he refused to allow to happen to himself! He was not going to fail his mission-was what Sasuke told himself. Despite the nervous breakdown that was happening inside the stoic teen, he maintained eye contact with Naruko.

She stood there wearing a stumped expression as if she didn't know how to process Sasuke's words. For a second, Sasuke found her confused expression adorable until it was replaced with the anxiety that filled his very soul. He so badly wanted Naruko to hurry and spit out an answer. Yet he was afraid of her rejecting him, again. Sasuke didn't know what he would do if Naruko turned him down again.

"...Okay"

"H-Huh?" Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing. Seeing Sasuke's clueless expression, Naruko couldn't help but smile.

"I said...Okay. Let's try this whole dating thing. I mean, you're a jerk, also a bastard, along with not being the nicest guy around-"

"Are you insulting me or complimenting me?" Sasuke couldn't help but interrupt, feeling more insulted than anything else.

"You also don't let people finish talking, but... There are some good sides to you; you're not that bad of a guy, Uchiha Sasuke. So yes, I accept going out with you. Just don't let me down, okay?" She shot him one of those cheesy grins, that during his course of falling for the blonde, he found himself adoring. It was at that moment that the rain stopped pouring from the clouds, parting as the sun beamed down on the two teens who shared a smile that was aimed at one another. It was the mark of a new beginning for their relationship and a day Sasuke would never forget.

End of Flashback

Back in the hospital room, hours had passed, Naruko was still screaming bloody murder and Sasuke was almost positive that all the bones in his hands were broken."You're almost there, brat. I can see that his head is almost out," advised Tsunade with her assistant/niece there helping her.

"You can do it, Naru-chan. Just a few more big pushes. Hang in there!" coached Kushina.

"Fu-fuck... Sex is banned from our lives no matter how amazing it is!" cursed Naruko, eyes clenched shut as she pushed yet again. Sasuke could practically see the sweat that was visibly dripping down her face, drenching her hospital gown as she gasped in pain.

"Just a bit longer; you can do it, Naruko!" Sasuke found himself encouraging his wife, who was exhausting all of her strength just to bring their son into the world. With one final scream of pain, Naruko had extinguished her remaining strength, falling tiredly onto the bed. Meanwhile, at the other end, Tsunade found herself holding a squirming and crying baby in her arms.

Right when that first cry pierced the room, Naruko found that a little of her strength had returned, and she desperately wanted to hold that precious bundle that was crying out. "Brat, you finally brought your son into the world," fondly said Tsunade, whose eyes were a bit teary as she walked over to hand over the precious life that was bundled up in a blue blanket.

Once placed in her arms, Naruko looked down and softly caressed her tan fingers against her baby's wrinkly soft skin, admiring the small tuft of black blue hair that he definitely inherited from his father. Though when his eyes peeked open, she saw cerulean blue eyes that matched her own, faintly hearing her mother sniffing and holding back tears, while tears began to run down her own cheeks.

Looking towards her strong and stoic husband, Naruko saw how teary-eyed his own eyes had become, onyx eyes staring down at their son. "Sasuke, here is our son. He's finally here. Our baby boy is finally here." The tears couldn't stop pouring down Naruko's face and now they were pouring down Sasuke's, a man who barely shed tears.

"He's so perfect, just like his mother." Sasuke stared down at their infant son, whose innocent blue orbs began taking in the two strangers who were his parents for the first time in his life. Both parents were so happy to finally meet their healthy baby boy, who soon got to meet the rest of his family when they were allowed into the room. All of them began cooing over the bundle that was held protectively in his mother's arms.

"Ryutsuki," Naruko suddenly spoke out, catching everyone's attention, mainly Sasuke's.

"Dragon and Moon. It seems very fitting." Staring down at their infant son, both parents said...

"Welcome into the world, Uchiha Ryutsuki."
