"Everyone out," Pein ordered as he started backing away, letting Konan work. Everyone did as they were told, reluctantly, except for Itachi. "Itachi, Naruto's going to be alright."

"I want to stay with him, if you wouldn't mind," Itachi said as he stared at Naruto's peaceful face. Naruto must have been knocked out for when Konan started the makeshift surgery.

"Fine, as long as you don't disrupt Konan from her work." Itachi nodded before closing the door and stepping over to where Naruto was laying. Itachi turned towards where Naruto's first child was laying, and he couldn't help but smile as he saw an exact replica of Naruto in his little baby boy. Itachi smiled before going to pick him up as the boy kept crying. Itachi rocked him back and forth a couple times to settle him down, and it worked.

"Hey you," Itachi whispered, smiling as he did, even if the smile was small. "You are going to grow up big and strong, just like your dad. And you are going to be loved by all of them, just like Naruto wants."

"Itachi, go show the others Naruto's boy," Konan said as he looked up from her work. "They'll probably be anxious to see him." Itachi nodded, losing the smile, and he got up. "And Itachi…" Itachi turned to address her once more. "Smile more; I know that Naruto likes it when you do." Itachi nodded with a small smile and walked over to the door while Konan continued working to get Naruto's next child out. Itachi had a little trouble trying to get the door open, but he did eventually, and everyone turned towards him and the baby wrapped in a blanket in his arms.

"Tobi see mini-Naruto," Tobi called as soon as he noticed the baby. Everyone turned towards him to see that there was a baby indeed that looked just like Naruto.

"Let me see my nephew, un," Diedara stated as he walked over to Itachi. Itachi hesitantly handed him over.

"Have you named him yet," Sasori questioned as he crowded around the baby also.

"No, Naruto's still not awake," Itachi replied. "And Konan's still working on getting the second baby out. I don't know how long it would be before she's done."

"Tobi thinks she's going to be done soon," Tobi smiled, as he still didn't have his mask on.

"Obito's right; Naruto's in good hands," Kakashi eye-smiled. Then they heard the cry of the second baby and heard Konan's squeal of joy.

"Ah, so she finally got her wish," Pein smiled.

"What do you mean," Sasori questioned.

"Konan was hoping that Naruto's baby was going to be a girl since she wanted some girl time since she's the only girl." The others nodded, thinking that a girl would be nice to have around the organization.

"Itachi, do you want to come in," Konan questioned. Itachi hurried into the room, closing the door behind him to find that Naruto was all stitched up and healing. Konan was holding the other baby in her hands, and Itachi walked over to see that it was indeed a girl. She had red hair and when she opened her eyes, they were just like Naruto's. Itachi smiled as she was passed over to him.

"Hey baby girl," Itachi whispered, the small smile still on his face. "It's great to know that we've got another one; that's it right?"

"Haha, that's it," Konan giggled. "I was just as surprised when I found out about this little delight. I'm glad though."

"Yeah, Pein was talking to me about that," Itachi smiled. "I'm glad that you are happy, Konan, as I'm sure that you get lonely within a bunch of guys."

"Well, Naruto is kind of both, but yeah, it is nice," Konan smiled.

"You know that's not nice to say, Konan," they heard someone say from behind them. They turned to see it was Naruto, as he halfway had his eyes open. "You should be glad that I don't take that comment personally."

"Konan, why don't you get his son," Itachi suggested. Konan nodded before walking out of the room.

"Son? I have a son? But what about that baby in your arms? You didn't adopt one, did you," Naruto questioned. Itachi shook his head.

"Naruto, meet your daughter," Itachi smiled at him as he put her into his arms. Naruto immediately smiled brightly as soon as she opened her eyes. She started to clap and laugh, and Naruto couldn't help but laugh either. Then there was a knock at the door. "I'll be right back." Naruto didn't seem to mind as he was playing with his daughter's hands. Itachi was smiling when he opened the door to see that Konan had his son. "I'd like to do this alone." Konan nodded in understanding and handed him over. Itachi took Naruto's son into his hands, and he walked over to Naruto. "Naruto." Naruto looked up at him. "I want you to meet your son."

"My son," he questioned.

"Konan, when she was delivering your baby, we found out there were two," Itachi explained as he came to sit next to Naruto. "Your son was first though." Naruto nodded and looked over to see a replica of him.

"He looks just like me," Naruto laughed, which caused his daughter to laugh also.

"It seems that you've got a daddy's little girl on your hands, Naruto," Itachi smiled. Naruto smiled.

"And it seems that my son is attached to you, Itachi," Naruto added. Itachi looked down to see that indeed the son did. He was falling asleep in his arms. Itachi couldn't help but smile.

"Now, Mr. Uzumaki, what are you going to name your children," Itachi questioned. Naruto took his time to answer because he hadn't really thought of any names.

"I've got it," Naruto yelled as soon as he thought of them. "He'll be Shou, and this little one will be Airi."

"Shou and Airi," Itachi said as he looked at the both of them. "I think that they will fit nicely." Naruto and Itachi smiled at each other. It didn't take long for Naruto to be exhausted though, so Itachi made space between them for the two children and then Naruto fell to sleep while Itachi looked over his new family.
