Broken

Chapter 45: My Baby

Everything that the two did went by in a blur. They kept in touch with Prane and Zenda which made Naruto happy since he could tell them everything that's going on with the baby. By the time Naruto realized the bump was starting a little.

When they realized it, and still taking the pictures, it excited them to the point that Naruto kept holding his slightly bulging stomach.

"Morning Naru." Itachi greeted with a kiss, letting in the aroma of French toast come into the room where his lover was still asleep. Watching the blond stretch and kick the blankets off and rolled over with his legs hanging, Itachi squatted down and kissed the shirt that covered their unborn child.

Naruto laughed and smiled at his Uchiha lover. "Morning."

The Uzumaki got up and waddled to the kitchen where the smell of cooking food was stronger. He had the morning sickness but usually he had it in the middle of the night or when after they have pizza. The smell of cheese caused it for some reason.

"How many do you want?" Itachi asked as he flipped some of the bread and looked over at his lover.

"Two for now. Just in case if it happens." Naruto said and walked out of the room to greet Kyuubi and Ichijo for the morning. Seeing the two curled up in the feline's bed, Naruto smiled. "Morning you two. Today's the big day."

Both perked up and looked at the tanned man before laying their heads back down.

Naruto shook his head and walked back into the dining room just as Itachi was putting down his plate with the syrup and butter on it.

"I didn't forget." Itachi reassured as he went back into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of kiwi fruit that he took out of the skin. Setting it down, he kissed his fiancé once more and went back to keep an eye on the food.

Naruto was excited that today was the day for his appointment with Shizune. Last month she said that they were going to do another ultrasound and if possible get the sex of their child if they wanted. Naruto wanted to know so he could start buying stuff other then diapers, bottles, formula and other things that were neutral. They could also start on the baby room which was in a room they made by cutting the den – Itachi's office – in half.

Taking a bite of the toast, his eyes widened with the familiar feeling of something rolling in his stomach. Something that he could cure with peppermint but this wasn't the case. Pushing his chair out, he raised out of the room and into the bathroom to empty his stomach that was making all the food he had in it rise.

Itachi knew that this was going to happen. He hated seeing Naruto miserable with morning sickness but they both accepted it as a part of life. He thought it was funny and cute when Naruto lectured their unborn child for causing it. It was really funny. Smirking a little, Itachi put some more of the toast onto the plate, the last of it.

Getting his own, he walked out just as Naruto was sitting back down and chowing down on the kiwi. Sitting down close to him, he watched him out of the corner of his eye. He was concerned about the blond. He didn't show it but when he did, he knew that Naruto knew about it. "So are you ready for the appointment?"

"Yep! I can't wait for it. I was wondering . . . would you like to see what the baby is?" Naruto asked as he pushed around the last of the green and black fruit he had in a bowl.

"What?" Itachi asked, confused at what his lover was trying to get at.

"Would you like to see if the baby is a boy or girl?" Naruto questioned then took the fruit into his mouth. He's had an obsession of these since Itachi brought some home from a meeting he had with the board.
