You're It For Me (Kakashi Hatake love)

Chapter 15: Tests

The next few weeks went by in a blur, in those weeks Kakashi and I became closer as we moved me into 'our' room and started putting together a nursery in my old room, we started the repairs on my family home and decided we would give it to Naruto after it was finished as a surprise and Naruto was rapidly progressing in his training and was getting more and more excited to see a baby. I was sitting with Kakashi waiting for Tsunade to come in, growing more and more anxious by the minute and couldn't help but feel like something bad was going to happen when Kakashi slipped his hand in mine and squeezed lightly "calm down Emiko, youre doing it again." He said softly. I looked around and noticed the pictures on the walls were lightly rattling.

I sighed and slowly started to count until the shaking stopped. "Hello Emiko, Kakashi, today we are going to start by hooking up these monitors to keep an eye on the baby while we take a blood, spinal and bone marrow sample, the last of which is pretty painful. After that we are going to try stimulating stressful situations and monitor where all that chakra is coming from, then we are going get some new ultrasounds and a DNA sample from the baby. After all that is over I want you to recover here in the hospital for a few days just in case all of this sends you into pre- term labor." I just stared at Tsunade as she finished trying to keep my rising panic down.

"Pre- term labor? Isn't it to early? Will he live?" Kakashi rapidly asked. "Calm down, your panic is feeding Emiko's. Right now, Emiko is currently 25 weeks along, should she going into labor and if we are unable to stop it the baby will be extremely premature but can still live outside the womb. It isn't ideal but it could be unavoidable." She replied. Her words should have calmed me a little but they didn't 'we don't even have the nursery finished! We still have to paint and put up shelves! We don't have any cloths or diapers or bath stuff or burp rags or formula... Oh my goodness my nursery and baby shopping will have to be done by Naruto, Sakura and Sai!!' An image of bright orange walls, a pink crib and a bunch of black crop tops popped into my head and almost had me crying. My thoughts were cut off as a picture frame crashed to the floor. "I am sorry... Let's just get started... Kakashi if Shisui comes early team 7 is not to touch the nursery" I said dead serious and earning a laugh from him and Tsunade.

I was already grumpy before the tests even started because I wasn't allowed to eat and my mood just got worse, it didn't help that the monitors were uncomfortable on my stomach, the paper gown itched and it was cold. The blood work was a piece of cake, the spinal was uncomfortable and left a bruise on my back but was bearable and Tsunade's team was moving quickly. Mainly because whenever it took them awhile to get started the walls would shake with my bad mood and impatience. When it came time for the bone marrow sample I would be lying if I said I wasnt scared. I was currently laying on my side as Tsunade had a large needle sticking out of my hip bone and even with the hospital shaking the way it was she kept it steady like only a legendary sannin could. "Almost done Emiko." She said in a soothing tone that did nothing for the discomfort. After she was done pulling marrow and bandaged up the small incision I noticed a really long needle sitting on the tray. "What is that for?" I asked nervously. "That... Well youre not going to like it but we are going to get an ultrasound going and then I am going to take a sample from your baby.." Tsunade said hesitantly. I started laughing nervously hoping she was joking but when she didn't laugh with me I started to panic. "Wait what? No!" I yelled as I tried getting off the bed. Moving was a really bad idea because a sharp pain shot down my leg and up my spine causing me to scream. "Shh Emiko, Tsunade.. will it hurt him?" Kakashi asked as he sat on my bed and ran his fingers through my hair as tears started to bubble over my eye lashes.

"No, it won't hurt him but it will help me see if any of the DNA testing Orochimaru did on you is being passed on... I know it sounds bad but it is something that has to be done, I wouldnt do a test like this unless I thought it was necessary." Tsunade said reassuringly. I couldn't say anything so I just nodded as the ultrasound machine was brought in. Tsunade already had me on my side from the bone marrow extraction so Kakashi sat in front of me and held my hand. "It's okay Emiko, hey do you remember that day when Rin and I had just got home? You came to meet us like you always did but that day Rin said she had other plans so it was just the two of us for dinner?" Kakashi asked. I looked at him like he was crazy "Yes, I remember, why?" I replied kind of irritated. "After Obito died... Rin realized she had loved him, not me, so she was always telling me to make a move on you or someone else will." He said chuckling, his words only half drew my attention away from the warm gel being put on my belly. 'and here I thought he liked Rin all this time... Man I was stupid' "On our missions I would always stop at book stores to find something to bring back to you, that day Rin came with me and noticed the Ruby necklace book set.... My first thought was how it looked like your hair which only made Rin laugh. She pushed me to buy it for you in hopes that you would realize the feelings I didnt want to have for you... That night I was so nervous as we were walking to my house.. I remember I tried and failed to compliment your hair... Not my best moment.. He said with a little chuckle and slight blush. The next day I ran to the gates to see you off but when I got there was no Ruby necklace around your neck.." I started laughing, I couldn't do anything but laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Kakashi asked "That night I ran straight home and read the entire book and that morning I was wearing it but I saw Rin wearing the same one so I figured you got us both the same set and that you didn't know the type of book you had got me so I took it off, feeling like an idiot... I still have it though, it's in my jewelry box." I said giggling. "What i said then was true I really do like your hair at any length." He said with a smile. "And all done... Cute story by the way." Tsunade said, Interrupting the moment.
