After leaving his love's parent's house with a cat and fox in tow, they returned home with Itachi sighing out. Unlocking the door, he held it open for his lover and their companions that were finally going to live with them. Closing the door, he watched the feline and fox walk around and check everything out.

"So when are we going to schedule the appointment?" Naruto asked, kicking off his sandals and leaving them lay there while his lover put them next to each other.

"When your Obaa gets a hold of her friend."

"Well the last time I saw Shizune-chan was when I was younger – before I entered high school I think – and I found out that Obaa used to be in medicine but got out of it because she went through a lot of hardships dealing with blood and all that." Naruto clarified as he looked at the couch, grabbing the cushions and flipping them over. He didn't want to see the stains that his childhood friend caused.

The oldest Uchiha brother was taken back slightly at seeing Naruto sit down next to him on the couch with the fox and cat returning from their adventure of their new home. They hopped up onto the couch and stared at them.

"So do you like it here?" Naruto asked, stroking the orange and white fur of the fox. Smiling, he felt it crawl onto his lap and lay down with its stomach exposed for it to be rubbed. "I take that as a yes from you Kyuubi."

"Ichijo?" Itachi asked, looking down at the cat that sat down on his lap. Looking at the multicolored cat, she purred with a flick of her tail. "That's a yes." Rubbing her chin with one hand, the Uchiha turned the television on with the timer counting down for the news.

"What do you want to eat?" Naruto questioned, resting his head on the broad shoulder of his lover.

"Something as long as it's good. I barely ate breakfast and didn't get anything for lunch." Itachi complained, hearing his blond's laughter. He rarely complained but his stomach was killing him for food it seemed like.

"Okay. I'll go look." Naruto chimed, pecking the pale cheek and getting off the couch with Kyuubi glaring at him. He ignored the intense gaze his pet fox was giving him and went into the kitchen to look for something to cook up.

While the news rambled on about what was going on in his hometown, Itachi laid down with his head resting on a cushion. It seemed like yesterday that he claimed the blond was his by asking him out. Now Naruto's expecting either his or Sasuke's child. It scared him that it might be Sasuke's. He'll love it still but it would dash his hopes of having a child to call his own.

Staring absentmindedly at the seven days forecast that Genma was talking about, he closed his eyes. Itachi was told not to fear anything by his father and didn't. He did a lot of things that made normal people think he was nuts. Some of the things that he done caused sprains and fractures to his body. He made his father proud anyway because of all his hard work.

"Oto-san." Itachi muttered, opening his eyes to see everything blur a little. Looks like he'll be wearing his glasses tomorrow but it didn't bother him a bit. Itching the tip of his nose, he let his hand fall on his side as he stared at the television that had the global news come on but it was changed by the Uchiha. Flipping it to the movie channels, he turned on Blood: The last Vampirewith more then an hour left.

Pushing himself up, he got off the couch and went to the kitchen. Walking in, he stared at Naruto who was staring at a box that had instructions for a microwave dinner.

"Didn't find anything?" Itachi asked, strolling over.

"Right. Can you choose what you want because I couldn't figure out what you would like?" Naruto requested as he glanced at the ebony haired man out of the corner of his eye.

Nodding, Itachi opened the freezer door and stared at the choices. Nothing really sounded good but he was hungry so he needed to eat something or he'll be nursing a piece of peppermint. Grabbing a random one, he put it on the counter and strolled over to Naruto, standing behind the blond he loved.

Feeling Itachi press up against him, Naruto froze slightly. Feeling his shirt raise a bit from the cool touch of the Uchiha, the hand that did it rested on where his womb would be present at. Smirking a bit, he pressed his warmer hand on top of the pale one. "I'm sure it's yours."

"I don't care if it's mine or Sasuke's. I won't mind having a child with you." Itachi whispered, bringing his other arm around and held the blond there as they both watched the numbers dwindle on the microwave. He had a lot of questions for Shizune when they got the appointment set up.

Will Naruto be able to hold the baby to full term? How will the unborn child be brought into the world? Vaginal was impossible since Naruto was born with male extremities. Most of all, whose child is it? That was the main question that raced through Itachi's mind. He should have been worrying about the company that his father left but he worried about his lover.

"Ita this child will be special." Naruto said as his gaze softened with it falling on their hands on where their child was going to be developing.

"Because you're special." Itachi announced, turning the blond around and pressing his lips tenderly, gently onto the tanned ones of his lover.
