Love In A Mug

Chapter 27

Less than two years passed and they welcomed the arrival of a son, Soichi.  Since then they religiously followed the family planning birth control method because the doctor warned that his body's fertility level was unusually high, seemingly increasing with each birth so much so that if he became pregnant again the risk for a multiple gestation was 100+ percent guaranteed.  Naruto wasn't ready to go through another pregnancy.  Even though the second pregnancy wasn't nearly as bad as the first and the Addison's disease seemed more controlled, he was still traumatized from giving birth to their daughter Mei.

In celebration of their 4th wedding anniversary, Itachi booked a 3-day trip to an elegant spa/hotel in Tokyo.  It was a short getaway for the two of them as they have plans to vacation as a family at the dunes off the Tottori coast later in the year when the university is out.

Naruto laid down on the most comfortable bed he's ever slept in.  They spent the morning at the spa getting massages and soaking in the hot springs.  Late in the evening, they ate dinner at a top-notch restaurant near the hotel. 

Even though he lost the baby weight from both pregnancies he still was conscious of the faded stretch marks and loose skin that were left behind over his belly and hips.  Itachi loved them as it reminded him of how beautiful the blonde was when he was heavy with child so it was a habit for him to always touch them every chance he got. 

They had finished the second bottle of port wine and were ready for bed both feeling the effects of the alcohol.   "Although I miss the kids, I'm not ready to go home." Ocean blues half lidded in a somewhat drunken stupor hugging the raven's chiseled body.   He was envious that the raven didn't have to work hard at maintaining his toned physique.

"Hn," Itachi said carding his fingers through the soft tresses of gold that hung luxuriously past Naruto's shoulders.  The blonde hasn't kept it short since Sury started crawling and pregnant with Sawyer at the same time too busy to be bothered with.  It was easier for him to keep it up in a hair clip.  Itachi didn't complain because he loved how the style gave the blonde more softer features compliments of the feminine features that didn't completely disappear after the pregnancy.

"Then let's make the best of our last night."  The Uchiha said pulling the blanket over them, and kissing him.  Naruto moaned euphoria rising within his brain starting to fog as Itachi kissed his neck and then his clavicle.  "Mmm," he moans through lips being smothered by pale ones.  Itachi kisses deeper when he's suddenly pushed back.  "Wait!" Naruto startles breathlessly staring into black irises.  There was no way he was going home with the raven's seed nestled deep in his womb.

Itachi sighed searching for the small packet on the bedside table. 

"Okay now?" The older grinned and was content when Naruto giggled giddily.  Itachi pulled the duvet over them again knowing they wouldn't be falling asleep anytime soon.

The sun's rays shined bright through the window simultaneously waking the couple up.  Naruto had a slight headache from all the wine he had drunk the night before.  They lay holding each other in silence their brains still foggy. Moving from Itachi's hold he sat up slowly pushing the sheets to the side. He stared for a few minutes his half-asleep brain trying to register. "Oh god, no!"  His voice is barely audible as images flash through his mind of being incapacitated, immobile, and heavily pregnant for the next year.  "The hell." He barks. This time he gasped loudly looking at Itachi who was awake and glancing between the failed protection and Naruto. 

The raven clears his throat, "potty words," scolding him and trying to mask his chuckles.

"Do you know what this means?"  Naruto spat,  hysteria running through his mind and his hand through his messy hair as the realization sets before his hands move to lay across his stomach where he knows a child has been conceived.

Albeit the blonde was mad, Itachi, on the other hand, was filled with joy as it meant they would be welcoming another member, or should it be said 'members', to the family in ten months. 

The Uchiha was elated a wide grin forming on his lips gathering his lover in a bear hug and kissing him passionately only the tan face.  His hand settled on the small waist and stomach knowing it wouldn't be flat for long the abdomen expanding to make room for the growing home of not one but multiple of his offspring.  Moving his hands to Naruto's hips the flashbacks of how they will widen attempting to support the weight of the fetuses that will have no choice but to force his petite torso into an early waddle, struggling to breathe and keep up with the smallest tasks.  The raven loved the effects the toll the pregnancy caused on his lover.  

"I've always thought you were a little on the skinny side." Itachi teased pulling the blonde closer who was still staring in disbelief, the effects having been done. 

"I love it when you're rotund and heavy with my children." He said between kissing the blonde's lips, "You know, the doctor said it would be more than one this time, but don't worry I can afford the rent."  He chortled as he teased his voice still lust-filled. 

Naruto pushes him back scurrying out of the bed a sheet wrapped around him, glaring daggers at the man whose chortles resonate in the air.  Yes, the blonde knows that his husband doesn't care about how much the hospital costs or how often he has to take up a "temporary like residency" visits to the hospital for ultrasounds and prenatal appointments due to carrying the results of their nights of passion.

"No cappuccinos for you!"  Naruto bellows. He was able to work on his recipes mainly at home while caring for the children. He had enough creations that they had a full page on the menu.  It made the Uchiha happy to be his most critical taste tester. 

Naruto turns and stomps off to the bathroom, letting the door slam behind him.

Itachi couldn't help but laugh at the younger man's antics. He knows Naruto means it, at least for the next year, but it's alright by him because as much as he loves the foamy sweet drink for him his Naruto is the only love in a mug he needs.
