Broken

Chapter 51: Happy

Naruto stared at himself in the mirror, feeling bloated and fat from his pregnancy. Staring at the white tux, he put a hand on himself – his six months bump that he's been working on. He laughed at that thought then watched as his father straightened the bow.

Smiling at his father, he saw it be returned. "Today's the day."

"Yep. I'll be Uchiha, Naruto instead of Uzumaki." Naruto said. He turned around and saw his bawling mother sitting in the room as she blew her nose. Rushing over, he hugged the auburn haired woman and pulled away. "Don't worry Oka-san. He'll take good care of me."

She nodded, throwing her arms around him anyway. "I know, I know. I went through that in my head almost all night but I just can't picture you being married. I've always pictured you marrying the girl of your dreams but here you are marrying the guy of your dreams."

"I made you proud didn't I?" He inquired as he stared at the tearful eyes of his mother.

She nodded, tossing the tissue she had into the trash can. "Yes you did. You did a lot of stuff that some people said you'll never do."

"Like what?" Naruto asked with a bit of concern.

"Graduating for one with your grades and the way you like to goof off." She said then looked up at her husband. "I swear you get that from the both of us."

"Oto-san goofing off? I don't see that." Naruto asked with his eyebrows furrowing.

"Yep, I did. I just kicked my butt in gear when it came to the tests just to keep my grade up." Minato answered. Reaching down, he helped his sapphire eyed wife up and lead her out of the room. Looking back, he continued to smile at his son. "Just think. You get to look forward to that with your son. With our grandson."

Naruto set his hand down gently on his bump and nodded. Sadao hopefully would take after Itachi with his study habits but would let a little fun in. Rubbing it, he jerked from a kick he received then a small bump appeared. He noticed that when he and Itachi would talk and rub his oversized stomach.

"Naruto-kun you look amazing." Hinata blurted out as she rushed into the room to check on her high school friend. Sitting down next to him, she looked over her shoulder to see Gaara standing by the door, probably keeping an eye out for Itachi so he didn't sneak a peek.

"Thanks Hinata-chan." Naruto replied as he looked up from his bump to his lavender eyed friend. Smiling at her and her husband who was also his friend, he saw her tearing up a bit. "Don't worry, you'll still visit I'm sure."

"You bet we will. But that's not why I'm here Naruto. You see for years since grade school. I-i've always liked you. More as a friend kind of like but could never tell it. When you came out, I was surprised and a bit devastated by the news. So in order to forget you, I went to Gaara.

"Surprising he helped me forget the crush I had on you. Seeing you happy with Itachi and marrying him just makes me want to cheer you guys on and stand by your side all the way. I'll defend you guys when someone tries to put you down because of who you guys chose to love." She slightly ranted but confessed to her closest friend.

Naruto couldn't believe that she liked him but then again, he was oblivious to some things. One of those was love but here he was. Reaching over, he pulled her into a hug, holding her there. "I'm sorry that things turned out this way but thank you for everything you did. For everything you'll do in the future. Most of all, thank you for coming to the wedding."

Gaara nodded, closing the door and locking it so Itachi couldn't open it. He smirked a little at the jiggling he heard the door knob make with it growing into a smile as Itachi continued to try to open it.
