Broken

Chapter 48: You'll Always be My Baby

Something told Sasuke that the next day after Hinata and Gaara's wedding that his own form of excitement would happen.

"Sasuke!" Maiko's scream woke him up from where he laid in bed. Sitting up, he looked around for her but found nothing of her. Tossing the covers off, he ran through the house and found her in the kitchen, sitting on the floor and gripping at the shirt that covered her bulging stomach.

"What-"

She didn't let him finish as another scream filled the room. Bowing her head, a pant came from her. "Now."

That word woke the Uchiha quickly. Racing from the kitchen, he went into the living room and called for a squad. When he hung up because of another scream, he raced back to her and noticed a pool of water gather around her. That had to be telling him his daughter was going to be coming.

Reaching down, he grabbed a hold of her, ignoring the scream as another wave of contractions hit her. Helping her stand, he looked at the expanded womb that had his child. Looking up he looked for the squad. "Mikoto wait for a few minutes please."

He wanted to beg but had to be strong for Maiko. Biting his lip, he petted her hand as pants and screams escaped her. He wondered how they felt. Did it feel worse than being kicked in the nuts? Right now however he didn't want to find out.

Once the squad did show up and got her loaded up, he grabbed his cell phone and anything else he needed to fill out paperwork. "I'm gonna be following you."

She nodded – tried to – as she bowed her head with another wave of pain from the child she was holding. Taking in quick breaths, she smiled at him. Then the doors closed, forcing her to look up as they put on an oxygen mask on her.

Sasuke wanted to curse out loud enough for the whole world to hear him but didn't. Hoping into the challenger, he started her up and tore out of the driveway, getting behind the squad. Grabbing his phone, he got his brother's contact information and called him. "Pick up . . . pick up . . . Nii-san! Get to the hospital!"

He rolled his eyes, wishing his brother would shut up and listen. "No! Nothing happened to me. Maiko's in labor . . . yes the same frickin' hospital in town."

He hung up after hearing his older brother that he would be there with Naruto who was expecting pretty soon. He wasn't sure exactly what month it was but it seemed pretty close to him. Looking around, he noticed the sun was just getting over the hills which told him it had to be around seven or eight.

It just had to happen for him. A month early too. Looks like his child just wanted to be known sooner then other children. He laughed but it soon ended as he kept his gaze on the squad that was taking the woman who carried his child.

Itachi rushed around after hearing the words that came from his little brother. He didn't expect to become an uncle the day after the wedding. He grabbed the keys as Naruto came waddling quickly with a piece of toast in his mouth. Sighing, he tried to stay calm but inside he was freaking out.

His niece was about ready to be born. He was going to have someone to spoil and to look after besides his own son. He couldn't wait for it to happen. He'll teach both of them about their deceased grandparents.

Thinking about his parents, he smiled slightly. He hadn't really thought of them lately. It had to be all of the things he's been taking on since he took the company. The meeting, the photos of Naruto's growing – unnatural – womb, Sasuke's own child, everything that made him busy.

"Ita is something wrong?" Naruto asked with his mouth stuffed with buttered toast.

"No. Not really. I'm just thinking about all the things I'm gonna do with Sadao and Mikoto." Itachi replied with a smile as he glanced over at his lover.
