Ohayo guys. I'm soo sorry that I missed the Monday deadline. You see what happened was bio tests + writer's block from writing back to back Naruto fanfics= 1 unfinished chapter and some very unhappy readers. But I've got it up and I'm glad you're reading!

This IS the last chapter in this story. And before you say, 'you said that last chapter', I know. However, I realized that I had some loose ends to patch up when I finished writing the last chapter, so I'm writing the epilogue!

oOo

The sun had just started its daily journey over the horizon, on July 23, yet a certain Uchiha Sasuke was already feeling frustrated with things

"Damnit! It's only six, and she's already up!" the dark haired man grumbled, all the while getting up to unlock the door to let his two year old daughter into their room.

Sasuke sighed as he looked down at the raven peering back at him with dark blue pools filled with a mixture of fear and excitement. This had been going on ever since he had insisted that Naruto make her sleep in her own room instead of sleeping with them, as she had been doing. Since then, Sayuri had not failed to come knocking on their door every day at the crack of dawn.

However, today the Uchiha couldn't be irritated with her no matter how hard he tried, as he knew the little girl wouldn't stay asleep for long.

"Daddy! Guess what today is?" the little girl said, attempting to jump on the bed, where Naruto still lay unmoving. Honestly, Sasuke couldn't fathom how his golden haired mate could sleep through the noise.

"I don't have to guess what today is," the 18 year old man said, snickering when the blonde on the bed let out a less than manly squeal when the little girl landed very close to his head, "I know today's your birthday. Now get off the bed before you hurt your mother."

Complying, the little girl jumped off the bed and landed on the floor, next to her mother. Naruto cracked open one cerulean eye and smiled at his daughter. "Happy birthday, Sayuri. Why don't you go wake up your aunt Karin and tell her I said to start breakfast and I'll be down in a bit."

Nodding, the little girl bounded out of the room and they both sighed before Sasuke turned to his blonde dobe. "How did you sleep, koi?"

Before he could answer, he felt the now familiar roll of nausea and rushed past the raven, ignoring the man's worried expression, to the bathroom to pay tribute to the porcelain God.

Sasuke came in right on his heels and rubbed the poor blonde's back as he gave a couple of dry heaves before flushing the contents down the toilet and turning to wash the taste out of his mouth. Once he was done, he turned to his dark haired lover and pecked him on the lips. "I slept well. I'm just a little nauseous this morning."

Grabbing Naruto's hand, Sasuke led them out back into the bedroom before turning around to face the blonde. In a husky voice, he whispered into the blonde's ear, "So, do I get my present now or later?"

The flaxen haired boy winked before pulling his fingers out of the hold. "You'll get your present later, birthday boy. Right now, I need you to help me by getting Sayuri out of the house so that the guys can help me set up things here."

Nodding, he followed the blonde downstairs but pulled him aside before he could appear in the noisy kitchen. "Naruto, why were you throwing up? Are you alright?"

Naruto knew he shouldn't keep this from his mate, but he want to surprise the Uchiha. The young fox had found out, after a long talk with his godmother, that the jutsu that Sakura hit him with was indeed permanent once the week period had ended and that he was two weeks pregnant.

"Naruto."

"I'm fine, damnit. I'm just a little nauseous this morning, teme. Don't go all mother hen on me cause Iruka is enough."

Before the raven could retort, the kitchen door opened and Suigetsu stuck his head out. "I thought I heard you two out here. Eggs are getting cold."

Sasuke knew that something wasn't right and Naruto was hiding something from him, but resolved to ask the fox later on that night when they were alone.

oOo

Minutes after Sasuke took Sayuri out the door with Shikamaru, Chouji, and Juugo, the doorbell rang. Naruto came and opened the door to reveal a smiling Sakura, Ino, Temari, Tenten, and Hinata. The women all rushed in and along with Karin, stated setting up the decorations.

"So Naru, what's on the menu for Sasuke's and Sayuri's birthday?"

"Well, seeing as Sayuri's inherited her father's love of tomatoes and all things spicy, I was thinking we could make meatball and hamburger sliders, curry, rice balls, and sushi," the blonde fox said, while reaching under the sink to get the rice cooker and the pots and pans that they would need to cook all the food for the party.

As he got all the ingredients ready for the curry and meat, he felt his stomach roll. "Damnit!" he yelped and ran to the bathroom under the curious gazes of the females in the room.

Looking at Karin, Sakura asked, "What's wrong with Naruto?"

The redhead in question looked at the bathroom her blonde cousin had just entered with a worried expression on her face as she said, "I don't know if he wants everybody to know his business. You should probably ask him when he comes out."

And she did just that.

"Naruto? Are you not feeling well?"

The blonde felt his cheeks burn as he turned to look at the rosette. Scratching the back of his head nervously, he said, "Well you see, I'm about two weeks pregnant."

That one sentence sent the kitchen into an uproar as hugs came at the poor blonde from all sides.

"Does Sasuke-kun know yet?" Ino squealed, "He must be soo happy! He's finally rebuilding his clan."

"Well, I haven't actually gotten the chance to tell him. I was thinking that I would tell him later on tonight when we were both alone."

"Aww! How romantic!" Karin sighed, making her blonde kitsune smile. He was glad that their relationship had smoothed over; it had come a long way since they first had met each other on Sasuke's return. Naruto suspected that the fact that he had persuaded Tsunade to remove their chakra bindings early had something to do with the red head warming up to him just a little more.

Once she had come to accept that Naruto and Sayuri were a vital part of why Sasuke wanted to stay, she quickly got on board and backed off with her fangirlish claims of Sasuke. Only then did she find a love interest in Suigetsu of all people. Naruto was happy that she had found her only piece of joy and the red haired girl was now three months pregnant.

After that, it was relatively silent as they cooked the food and got up the decorations and three hours had passed before they knew it.

"Does Shikamaru know to bring Sasuke back by twelve?" Hinata asked worriedly, looking at the clock that read eleven forty-five.

Nodding, Naruto hung up a streamer. "Yeah. I let Chouji and Shika know to bring them back around eleven fifty, so they should be here any minute, so we should probably hide."

Just as they hid, the door knob turned and the door opened to reveal Sasuke with Sayuri riding on his shoulders.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday Sasuke and Sayuri!"

The twin looks of surprise and utter shock that were on Sasuke's and Sayuri's faces were priceless and Suigetsu flitted past them cracking up. The look of shock morphed into an amused smirk as the Sasuke put his daughter down and made his way over to his blonde mate who was standing by Karin. He only spared her a nod of approval before he wrapped his arms around his dobe and pulled him into a loose embrace.

Leaning down to steal a kiss, the Uchiha whispered, "you did all of this for me? That makes me very happy."

The fox returned the kiss before twisting out of the embrace and rushing to light the candles on the three tier cake.

The Uzumaki Manor was filled with laughter and smiles and noise of the Rookie 12 and their former sensei, Sai, Team Taka, and Tsunade.

The party seemed to be more for Sayuri as everyone had a gift for her. She got a kunai set from Tenten and Lee, books from Karin and Suigetsu, a gardening book from Juugo, a shogi set from Shikamaru and Temari, and a surprise from her mother and father.

"Happy birthday, sweetheart," Naruto said, handing her the box that Sasuke had given him to wrap from the both of them, "this one's from me, your aunt Karin, and your father."

The young girl eagerly tore into the wrapping paper and opened the box to reveal four items. The first was a golden hairpin encrusted with pearls, and the Uchiha crest outline with rubies and diamonds. The second item was a silver necklace that had three simple circles in it. The third item was a gold necklace with the signature Uzumaki clan symbol hanging from it. The last item was a book that lay at the bottom, which Sayuri opened to reveal people that she didn't know.

"The hairpin was your grandmother's. It's always been passed down to the firstborn daughter in the Uchiha clan. And the necklace was your uncle Itachi's. I'm sure if things had turned out differently and he was still here, he'd want you to have it."

As the raven said his brother's name, Karin could see a look of sadness pass across his face momentarily before it disappeared and she squeezed his hand in comfort before she picked up the explanation.

"That's my mother's necklace; she was your grandmother's elder sister, which makes her your great aunt. That necklace was given to the eldest daughter of the heir of the clan. My mother gave it to me to continue the clan and now I'm giving it to you, so you can continue not only the future of the Uchiha clan but the Uzumaki clan as well."

"And the book was a photo album that my mother brought with her from the Hidden Whirlpool Village, which is where our clan once called home. She continued to add photos to it throughout her stay here as Kurama's Jinchuuriki and until she died on the day I was born, so there's pictures of your grandfather as well as pictures of Jiraiya, who was my godfather and sensei to both me and your grandfather," Naruto said brightly.

"Oh! Thank you mommy, daddy, Aunt Karin! I love it!" the young girl squealed, making the people around her laugh as she ran and plopped in Sasuke's lap.

At the sight of his former leader sitting with his daughter on his lap and a small smile on his face, Suigetsu couldn't help but comment. "It seems Sayuri's reduced the big bad lion to an adorable kitty cat!" He burst into laughter at the glare Sasuke sent his way over Sayuri's head but had to duck as Karin sent a pillow his way.

"Sui, we'll see how long you keep that up after you're a father," Naruto snickered as he watched Karin berated her boyfriend.

"Oi, Sasuke. I almost forgot to tell you. Your present from me is in the fridge in the cellar," the albino male said, a mischievous glint in his eyes that made the Uchiha wary.

He nodded in acknowledgement as he thumbed the ruby pendant that Naruto had gotten him. He was so lost in his thoughts that he almost missed the conversation that was going on between Karin and Naruto.

"-we'll take Sayuri home with us so you can spend some quality time with Sasuke-kun," a knowing glint in her crimson eyes that had a delicious blush spreading across Naruto's cheeks.

"Thank you so much, Karin. Yuri come say goodnight. Your father and I need you to go with Auntie Karin and Uncle Suigetsu for tonight. They'll bring you back in time for breakfast."

"Okay." She said, hugging her father, who had just clasped both Itachi's necklace and the one Karin had given her, around her neck. She hopped down and ran to the blonde who scooped her up in his arms and hugged her tightly before handing her to Karin and giving Suigetsu her overnight bag.

As soon as the last of their guests left, the brunette stood from his spot on the armchair and made his way over to where his mate stood waiting and pulled him into an embrace. His burning curiosity about what happened in their bedroom that morning came to the forefront of his mind and he wanted answers.

"Naru, what's going on? You've been feeling nauseous for a couple of days now. Have you seen Tsunade?"

Turning around in Sasuke's arms, the blonde wrapped his own arms around the dark haired nin and smiled up at him. "Let's go in the bedroom, love."

Nodding, he led the flaxen haired boy into their shared bedroom and laid him down before lying down himself.

"So, I did go see Tsunade and we found out that I'm about two weeks pregnant. The jutsu never wore off; it's kind of permanent."

"You're pregnant," the Uchiha breathed, a small smile slipping onto his face.

Nodding, a coy smile slipped onto the Uzumaki's face as he scooted closer to his lover. "Sasuke, are you ready for your other present. You might want to go get the present Sui got you first though."

Curious as to see what the albino had gotten him, Sasuke made his way to the cellar's fridge and opened it to see a bottle of Pinot Noir on ice. Smirking, he took the bottle out of the fridge and as he got two glasses from the kitchen cabinet, he made a mental note to thank Sui the next morning.

When he entered the bedroom, he nearly dropped the bottle and wine glasses at the sight on the bed.

**Lemony Goodness (Skip if You Don't Like) **

The fox was lying on the bed in nothing but a pair of bunny ears attached to his head.

"Dobe."

The fox looked up at Sasuke with a seductive smirk and patted the spot next to him on the bed, silently beckoning the lion to his side. Sitting down, Sasuke poured them each a glass, with his up almost to the top and Naruto's with only a little bit as he didn't want to harm the baby and handed one to his lover.

"To us." Nodding, they toasted before downing the liquid. Taking the glass from Naruto, Sasuke leaned in and nibbled on his lips as he placed the glasses on the nightstand. Trailing kisses to his ear, he nibbled on it before whispering, "You're becoming a little slut, Naruto."

"Well, you've never complained before, teme," he replied teasingly as he undid the Leo's clothing, as the offensive items were keeping him from what he really wanted. Once he got Sasuke in his birthday suit, he smiled as he felt the Uchiha go limp in his arms. "Oh! So you're letting me top for a change?"

"Hn. Why would I want to top on my birthday, dobe?"

"Good point," Naruto mumbled as he latched on to the raven's pulse point with ease, making him cry out. Naruto decided he wouldn't give the Uchiha a chance to retort and moved his mouth down his chest to take a nipple into his mouth. His hand snaked down to play with its twin, pinching and twisting it and making all kind of delicious sex sounds spill out of Sasuke's mouth.

Those noises were going straight to his lower regions but he decided that pleasuring the birthday boy was more important and chose to ignore his needs for the moment.

"You know, I need to treat you extra special on your birthday," the fox said coyly as he settled down between his lover's legs.

"I'm flattered," the raven almost growled with need, "but are you going to give it to me anytime tonight or what?"

"So willing to give, yet as impatient as always. But then again, that part of what made me fall in love with you." Naruto grinned as he placed two fingers in front of pale thin lips in a silent command. The raven shuddered slightly as he slipped them into his hot cavern, nipping at tan fingers to show his displeasure before he began swirling his tongue around and between the tan digits, covering them in saliva. When Naruto thought that they were sufficiently coated, he pulled them out, gliding down the lion's body as he went earning him a growl. Chuckling, Naruto murmured, "so very impatient."

Rather than replying, Sasuke instead settled on pulling his fox into a searing kiss which distracted the Uchiha from the digit that was now breaching tight ring of puckered skin and slowly pushing in.

Seeing that there was no resistance the blonde added the second finger and paused when he heard a hiss of discomfort from the dark haired man below him. However, the pain was forgotten when Sasuke felt a warm wetness on his throbbing shaft and looked down to see the arousing sight of his dobe bobbing up and down on his swollen member as he prepared him. Suddenly, a the blonde brushed up against his prostate and Sasuke was so high on the pleasure that he didn't even feel as Naruto inserted the third finger and began to stretch him.

Naaruto chuckled at the whimper that escaped the Uchiha lips at the loss of the fingers inside him. "Patience, love. Let me just lube up," the fox whispered huskily, as he reached over into the bedside drawer and retrieved the lube. Using his thumb, he flipped the cap and poured a healthy dose into his palm and lathered it on his cock, hissing as the cool liquid hit his heated skin. Throwing the little bottle somewhere behind him, the fox positioned himself in between the lion's legs and slowly began to enter his lover.

As he slowly inched himself into the hot wet passage, he had to will himself not to just ram the raven like his instincts were telling him to do and remember that while he was in heaven, his lover was in pain. He was reminded of that by the little whimpers of discomfort that floated into his ears from below.

"Dobe. J-just move!"

The blonde man complied with the raven, pulling out slowly and starting a slow but deep rhythm until he felt Sasuke relax around his shaft and only then did he dare to increase the tempo.

"Naruto, d-don't treat me like a woman- AHH!" The raven made to gripe, but found that he lost his breath when Naruto quite viciously thrusted into his prostate. From then on in, all the Uchiha could do was moan as Naruto viciously thrusted into him, hitting his prostate every time.

"N-Naruto! I-I can't-"

Understanding that his lover was dangerously close, Naruto grabbed his dick pumping in time to his thrusts. Within seconds, he felt Sasuke stiffen before jets of sticky white cum landed on both of their stomachs. Sasuke's tightening walls sent Naruto over the edge seconds after him. And they collapsed onto the bed in a tired heap.

**Lemony Goodness End (It's safe to read now) **

As they lay there cuddling in each other's arms, Sasuke laid his hand on his fox's stomach, rubbing small soothing circles , making the blonde haired man purr.

"I can't believe that we're having another baby. That makes me very happy to know that we're not only rebuilding the Uchiha clan but the Uzumaki clan as well. I love you."

The smile he received from the fox was well worth it. "I love you too," he murmured sleepily, as he ran his hand across the bond mark he made on the raven the night they made love after he had come home to him.

Sasuke pulled the covers to keep them warm and they drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

oOo

Winter had come and gone and now spring was hear. It was May and our favourite blonde fox was due any day now. Tsunade had surprised both him and Sasuke with news that the blonde was carrying twins and so they had taken extra precautions to minimize any risk of harm to the fox or his kits. He had been confined to the Uzumaki Manor, which had greatly displeased the kitsune and Karin and Suigetsu had temporarily moved back into the Uzumaki Manor, with their daughter Mina, to look after Sayuri when Sasuke had been called away on a mission. The year Sayuri was born, both Naruto and Sasuke had taken the Chuunin exam and passed.

Currently, Naruto was lying in his bed, reading a scroll. The twins had been sucking up all of his chakra and even with Kurama's extra chakra, he still barely had any strength to do normal things without help, which bothered the normally overactive blonde. Tired, he laid the scroll aside and rolled over so that he could sleep on his side when he felt a sharp pain rip through his abdomen.

"AH! Karin!" He yelled, seeing the flash of red as she went past his room. When she came dashing in, after putting Mina down in her crib, she found her cousin hunched over in his bed, clutching his stomach.

"Naruto! What's wrong?"

"I need you to take me to Tsunade NOW! I think the babies are ready to come into this world!"

At that, Karin ran out of the room to yell at Suigetsu. "Sui, I need you to watch Mina! I think Naruto's gone into labor. Wait, can you go see if Juugo can sense Sasuke anywhere near the village? I know that Naruto'll want him there for the birth."

Nodding, Suigetsu scooped the now sleeping baby into his arms and went to find Juugo while Karin scooped the blonde fox into her arms and began to run to the hospital in the middle of town.

As they got near the hospital, Karin saw Sakura walking from the opposite direction and yelled out the girl's name. Upon seeing the convulsing fox, the rosette sprang in action and yelled at someone inside to get a stretcher and alert Tsunade of what was happened.

When Tsunade got to the operating room, she smiled at Karin before turning to Sakura and Hinata, noting that they had already numbed the blonde and were ready to operate.

"Hey there, brat."

"Where's Sasuke? I need him here," the blonde whimpered through the pain. Tsunade smiled down at the blonde. "He's twenty minutes outside the village, so he'll be here in time to see his children. Don't worry. What I need you to relax for me, brat. It'll help us to help you."

As she made the first incision, she heard the door open and glanced up to see Yamato, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and the Uchiha who moved past Karin and took the blonde's hand. "Dobe, I'm here. It's okay."

As Tsunade continued the incision, they all felt a chakra flare up in the room and looked to see the blonde fox's eyes turning crimson. Kakashi looked over to see Yamato weaving signs and over to bed to see Sasuke had his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan activated and trained on the blonde, whispering soothing words into his ear.

Everyone was silent as Tsunade operated and soon a cry pierced the air as the first baby took its first breath. Handing it to Jiraiya to seal, Tsunade returned to her task of getting the second child out of Naruto and soon another cry pierced the air and she gave that one to the toad Sannin to seal so she could concentrate on closing Naruto wound.

However, Karin jumped into action before she could say anything. Holding her arm up to the fox's mouth in a silent command. Naruto sunk his fangs into her skin piercing it and drinking her blood and they all watched in mild fascination (well everyone except Sasuke) as the wound in his stomach healed on its own.

Removing her wrist from the blonde's mouth, she sagged into Sasuke, who caught her and guided her towards the chair. "Thank you Karin."

She simply grinned. "No problem. I mean he's family although I don't ever remember ever being this weak after letting you drink my blood to heal your wounds, but I think it had something to do with the Nine Tails."

"So, that's what you did, huh?" The Godaime murmured, "I heard Kunoichi of Uzu were natural healers." Turning to the tired blonde, she said softly, "You did well, Naruto. Would you like to see your babies?"

Weakly nodding, he watched as Sakura brought him the two little babies. "They're fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. Congratulations Naruto! Sasuke!"

"My babies! Look at our little kits, Sasuke! We've got a boy and a girl this time," Naruto said smiling tiredly up at his mate. The raven looked down his blonde fox and their kits with a little smile and a look of pride on his face.

"Naruto," Karin called out from the other side of room as she got up slowly from the chair, "I want to see my nephew and niece!"

Coming over to the bed, the red haired woman looked down to see two little tan bodies with wisps of black hair and whiskered cheeks. When they opened their eyes, they could see that their boy had dark blue eyes like Sayuri and girl had dark brown like Sasuke.

"Alright, we have to sterilize and dress them, Naruto. Then you can spend some alone time with your family," Tsunade said, smirking as the blonde reluctantly handed the babies to Sakura and Hinata. As soon as the girls left, Jiraiya came over and sat down in the seat that had previously been occupied by Karin.

"So brat, how does it feel to be a mother of three?" he said ruffling blonde locks.

"It's tiring, but now that I am a mother, there's no way in hell that I'd ever take this experience back. I meant it when I told Sakura that I was glad she hit me with that jutsu." Beaming up at Sasuke, he added, "It's made both me and my mate very happy, ne Teme?"

The raven only nodded, his attention at the door as it opened to reveal Suigetsu, who was holding Mina, and Sayuri. The little girl dashed to her mother's side.

"Mommy, are you alright? Where's my sisters? I want to see them!" the energetic little girl said, bouncing up and down in place.

Motioning for Sasuke to place her on the bed, he leaned down to his princess and playfully ruffled her jet black locks. "Now, who told you that you were having sisters? You have a sister and a brother, little one and mommy and daddy are going to need you to be a very good big sister."

Just then, Sakura and Hinata came back into the room with two blankets and handed the pink one to Sasuke and the blue one to Naruto.

"Naru-chan," Sakura inquired, "what are you going to name them?"

Looking up at Sasuke for approval, Naruto said, "Sasuke and I kinda talked about it and we decided if we had another girl, we'd name her Mikoto after Sasuke's mother. But we haven't thought about a boy's name."

"Mamoru? What do you think about Mamoru, dobe?"

"Mamoru, meaning protector. He will protect both his sisters. I love it. Mamoru and Mikoto Uchiha."

The raven haired man nodded in approval. "Mamoru and Mikoto Uchiha."

As Naruto looked around at the smiling faces in the room, he felt a purr rumble from his chest, causing everyone in the room to look at him in question. However he paid them no mind and instead patted his stomach and said more to himself than anyone else." I agree with you, Kurama. I love the way this has all turned out as well. Our pack is finally complete."

"Pack?" Sakura said, confusion clear in her voice.

"A pack is what a demon call their family. Karin, Sui, Mina, Sasuke, and my babies are my pack. However, a pack doesn't have to be blood related. I mean after all, everyone in this village is my family. The fox taught me a saying that he's heard before. Family is your Pack and your Pack is your life."

His hand found his mate's and squeezed it as he thought of how it all started with him sharing a kiss and a night with the Uchiha. He could have never fathom how that one night would change everything and bring him everything he'd ever dreamed about.

oOo
