Broken

Chapter 41: Bad Romance

Two months had passed with Itachi healing up from the attack his uncle done. Naruto went to the doctors like any other pregnant woman and still had a clean bill of health since Itachi was watching what he put in his mouth. Itachi brought up going to see the woman that was Naruto's friend which surprised the blond.

"Who's going to watch Ichijo and Kyuubi?" Naruto asked as he looked at their companions.

"I'm sure Sasuke wouldn't mind. And we could have your parents come up and look after the place every once and a while." Itachi insisted with a smile. His scar could be ripped open in a snap of the finger since it wasn't bonded like it should be yet. He was always a slow healer.

Once the blond agreed and they set up the tickets and who was doing what, Itachi went out to find that special ring to ask Naruto with. He found it all right, he had it shipped out to where the place was so when it arrived there, he can propose.

The next morning, they had everything packed with Itachi telling everyone that he was going on vacation and if they needed to reach him in an emergency then they can reach him on his cell. They dropped off their pets at Sasuke's which made Ichijo meow in protest when Maiko picked her up.

Leaving there, they went to the airport with Naruto's parents calling about how often they should check on the place.

"At least once a day to get the mail, paper, and to see if anything's wrong." Naruto explained to his father since his mother was out with her friends. Listening to his father, he sighed. "We'll be fine. Yes I'm meaning the baby too. Bye."

Itachi laughed but was soon interrupted by a stare from who was taking them to the airport since he left the car at the house. "What Kisame?"

"Oh nothing. So why are you guys heading over there? Don't tell me you're going to elope." Kisame guessed but stopped when he felt the two glares on him. "Okay, I was wrong. Don't have to glare."

They got out once they got there, thanked the azure haired man since he was supposed to be teaching. He usually didn't take a day off until it was personal but this was his former students that found love with each other.

It seemed like it took forever for them to get through the security and everything else that needed to be done. By the time they got it done, Naruto was groaning because his feet hurt and he just wanted to sit down and sleep. Itachi agreed with him.

"Just think we'll be on the plane soon and heading to the states to see your friend." Itachi reminded. "Did Sasuke or you tell her that we're coming?"

"Yeah. He sent her a message but he didn't get anything back he said." Naruto replied as they finally boarded the plane with their things going into the over head apartment. "Hopefully she does read it and gets there in Columbus."

Itachi secretly crossed his fingers as he sat down by the window and stared at the tarmac. Letting his breath out, he had a feeling it was going to be a long wait to get to Ohio.

Fingers clicked rapidly across the keyboard as music poured out of the speakers around, her eyes widening a little as she saw a message waiting for her. Clicking on it, she blinked and read it. "Naruto . . . Oh my gooses!"

"What are you oh my gooses about?" A feminine voice asked in a different room from the way it sounded distant.

"I have some friends coming over honey bee." She answered as she jumped up and did a little dance. It stopped suddenly as she heard Eminem come onto the computer. "Ruin the mood man."

They took turns sleeping which seemed easy for Itachi since he felt like he was going to fall asleep anyway because of his body still recovering from the incident. While Naruto slept with his head on the Uchiha's shoulder, Itachi read a book that he brought along with him.
