Sleeping with the enemy

27

after an eventfull evening with tobirama , we headed back to the room to clean up and get ready for dinner . 

"I like this side of you" tobirama said closing the door to his office.

"oh? you hated it when i got here." I went to open the door to our room but a note hung from the knob by the red ribbon tied from it.

"whats that?" tobirama asked.

i opened it and begun reading. "its from the doctor. He got my results from when i passed out during the snow storm.

"what does it say?" he stood behind me and read over my shoulder.

snatching the scroll away from me he read it over and over.

I stood still not knowing what to think. 

"Is this real?" he said shocked. "We're going to her office now" he grabbed my hand and dragged me all the way to her office.

He must be furious.

"mr senju." he said as tobirama stormed in.

"this.. is it real???" he slammed the scroll on the desk. 

"i havent been wrong yet... from what i gathered so far shes just a little over a month. witch explained her being fatigued lately."

"im going to be a father.." he mumbled ...he walked over to me and lifted me in the air with a smile on his face. i felt relieved seeing him excited 

i was almost certain he was disappointed.

"lets go feed you!" he said happily. "what are you in the mood for ? sweets? ramen? no.. you need a whole meal. your eating for two.. in that case it should be healthy.. no sweets.." he continue to ramble about what i should be eating. i sat there and watched him drive himself crazy. i wonder how long  it will take him to realize he hasnt put me down yet.

"tobirama " i said snapping him out if his rambles. "rice and fish is fine."

"you cant have fish.. its bad for the baby." he said.

"Baby?" hashirama asked leaving his office for the night.

"Your gonna be an uncle" he said happily. "we just found out now. she's just a bit over a month.

"My little brother is going to  be a dad !" he yelled happily as he jumped on him and playfully ruffled his hair. 

he walked over to me "congratulations" he smiled and gave me a hug. his smile was faint and not the same that he gave tobirama. "you have to stay away from fish. what you need is chicken , rice , noodles. "

"I'll go tell the cook!" tobirama rushed off. leaving Hashirama and me alone

"so" i said. "how do you really feel?"

"im truly happy. i wish you two only the best. you know that"

"but..."

"but.. i now know what you felt when you heard i was married and having a child.. with my own brother.. thats the universe punishing me for hurting you." he said .

i didnt know what to say. i stood there in silence..

"but im happy.." he continued. "this also means you wont be on the front lines with us tomorrow. You'll watch from the cliff."

"i figured that much" i said sadly.

"i strongly advise you dont go at all.the stress of tobirama and madara fighting against each other could hurt the baby."

"I'm going. neither you or tobirama will stop me. if my brother is to die, he will die with me holding his hand knowing he was loved."

"is it that important to you? you know he's stubborn and acts like he dont care . wont that hurt?"

"ofcourse. but you of all people know he's acting.." i said.

"im still against it. i'll bring it up to tobirama. maybe he can convince you.."

"your wasting your breathe hashirama.. i take after madara in that sense. im quite stubborn."

"y/n .." he said nervously.

'hmm."

"do you ever wish it was me?"

" why do you?" i asked pointing at his wedding ring. "your the only one here who got to choose who he marries. The rest of us didn't have that luxury... speaking of.. I'm going to join my husband for dinner now. see  you in the morning hashi. goodnight."
