we stopped. He stepped behind me, and slid the blindfold off of my eyes. It was beautiful.

now-

It looked as though it had been standing there for ages, trees grew around, and a stone walk way led to the gate. There, on the border between Suna and Konoha, was a breath taking home. But.... its huge! It rose three stories, and a wall lined the edges. The gate, was a fantastic orange, and on the very center, lay the uzumaki clan symbol engraved into the wood.

"how... when...." words seemed to fail me.

"dobe. everyone wanted to give you something, then Gaara had this idea to build an Uzumaki compound. Every clan has one. Its a little outside the village, but its not a big deal. You and Gaara can handle anyone that comes your way. Besides. it Gives you plenty of room to expand, and allow the clan to grow."

"you mean.... everyone pitched in and built this?!" i said turning from Sasuke to Gaara. He nodded.

"our very own clan compound."

"it has enough houses for another three family with three kids each! not to mention, the clan leaders home, which of course is yours." Sakura chimed in.

"Your home has a total of seven bedrooms. one master, and six bedrooms. The master is on the top floor along with its own private bath. The 6 bedrooms are on the second floor, along with 3 bathrooms. The bottom floor has everything else. Kitchen, living room, dining. Entrance hall and a small two piece bathroom for guests." Tsunaide said, smirking at Me. everyone was grinning. i turned and darted right through the gate into my new clan head quarters. a main road, with a few houses to the side and wide empty grassy space to build new homes. i pushed forward. Up the steps to the wrap around porch then i was faced with thick tall double door. Pushing them open, i was greeted with a massive living room. the ceil went up into the second floor. you could see the bottom of the third floor, and a grand wide staircase led up to rails for the second floor. Smooth sandstone covered the floor and stairs, and thick soft couches were pushed against the walls. i went to the other side, and i was met with a long table, perfect for a large family the kitchen could be seen over a bar top. Reds, oranges, and lights sandy colors mixed in with the vibrant green and browns of the woods in a gorgeous way. i would never have thought it would be possible.

"its beautiful." i said astonished.

"better be, it is the home of a clan leader, and the kazekage." Sasuke replied snorting. Len wiggled in his arms before quieting down again.

"well. We'll let you two get settled in." mina said before dragging Sasuke off. I leaned over an quickly swiped Len from his arms as the small girl dragged him off. Tsunaid and the gang followed suit. everyone left me gaara Ren and Len here in our new home, to get, 'settled in'.

"naru, come. i want to show you the twin's rooms." i followed, my free hand intertwining with his, as we carried our sons of stairs to their rooms. I opened the first door to my left, Gaara to his right. There were identical. mirror images of each other. A crib lay under a window, baby blue curtains tied to the side of the glass to allow the light in. above both cribs, was the mobile i had made. well. the one i had made. "i made it." Gaara explained when he noticed my questioning look. "it was harder than i thought it would be." I set Len down on the changing station and Swaddled him up. Then, i handed him to Gaara and swaddled Ren. We set them into their respective cribs and Gaara set up his sand. i looked at him curiously. "if they wake up, the sand will tell me."

"so is like a baby alarm?" he nodded. "nice."

"hmm. its handy." Gaara murmured wrapping his arms around my waist and pulled me up. i giggled as my legs wrapped around his waist, my arms locked around his neck. i relaxed into him as his kissed me and carried me up to the third floor. To our bedroom. Sand swirled and i heard the opening and closing of the door. My eyes opened and gaara set me on the bed. The room.... i gasped as i gazed all around.

"gaara. it looks just like..."

"i know." my eyes flickered back my red head. i kissed him. he works so hard for me. he always has. He must have spent a lot of time working to make our room, look just like our old room. He knew, that our house had meant a lot to me. he knew i was nervous about having kids, and announcing it. He knew the my body was acting weird and running amok and that i felt as though my emotions were thrown in a tornado. he knew. So he did his best, to make everything better. to make it right. For me? no. not for me. For Us. my heart was pounding so loudly, i could hear it in my ears. i could hear my own breathing roughen, and i feel the heat in my cheeks rise. i wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close. My legs sliding apart as i pulled him. A feverish desire seemed to course through me.

"Gaara. Are you wearing a condom by any chance?" i whispered in his ear, before i licked it. My hands already dipping and diving under his shirt. He shuddered before shaking his head. I thought about it for a moment. "hm. Well then Gaara. i would start thinking about more baby names." i felt his member twitched against my abdomen and my legs latched onto him. Hands tore away at our clothes. I couldn't tell whose. What does it matter anyway? We both wanted each other right now. I could care less who ripped who's pants into shreds. Skin on skin. Flesh on flesh. to love and be loved. Thats all that there is in this moment. i could feel wet liquid coming from my eyes as i cried. My red head held me close.

"naru," he said, slightly breathless, but concern weighed out heavier in his words than the lust that tinged them.

"im fine." i replied my grip tightening. "im just, so happy." i kissed him again and moved my hips forward, begging for him to continue. "Gaara, please?" one look was all it took. My gorgeous, ravishing, mate took me with a lust that i had me crying begging for more. With every plea, with every demand, he met and exceeded what i asked.

-gaara-

i breathed in my husbands scent. The smell had my muscles relaxing. i rolled over and my green eyes met with blue ones.

"gaara. i love you." i felt my heart burn, as though it had been set on fire. As though Naruto was the water to ease my hearts flames. its time. i knew it in my soul. i was still a little nervous. its not something i had ever told anyone. i felt my heart start to race. I had to say. Naruto deserved it.

"naruto, I-" i took a deep breath before i continued. "." My foxy husbands eyes went wide. Before one of the most breath taking, heart shattering smile appeared on his face.

"gaara..." he snuggled up and kissed me softly. He knew how hard it is for me to say those words. Those three little words. Words, i had never uttered before. Not even at our wedding. I felt a tinge of guilt at the thought. I felt as though i was cheating him. im glad, i told him. Just then, i felt the sand i had left in the twin's rooms vibrate. They woke up. i sighed softly and got up, slid on a pair of pants and walked out to go and take care of them. Naruto, with a grin slid on his own pants and went to Rens room. i was undoing the diaper when Naruto burst in Len's doorway holding Len up to me.

"Look gaara, they opened their eyes!" Ren blinked at me before bursting out into tears. Blue. i turned over to see Len open his own eyes, then he too started to cry. i sighed and picked him up after finishing up the diaper change. "Shh~ its okay, daddy's here." Naruto said softly to Ren, i simply rocked Len gentle. "well?" Naruto said. i rolled my eyes.

"green." i replied. Naruto laughed.

"at least we will be able to tell them apart."

"until they decide to get colored contacts."

"stop it! don't give them any ideas!" i shrugged. He laughed, and the twin decided it was time to giggle as well.

months went by in peace. The twins were turning a year old today. We invited Naruto's friends over and i had my family over. Mina and Sasuke came over. Mina was due here in a few months. Her belly was still growing. Shes five months pregnant. Sasuke seemed intent on rebuilding his clan. They got the good news about a month after their wedding. He is pretty happy. I still don't trust him. i sat down in my chair, Ren was sitting next to me and Len was on the other side of Naruto. i was not really paying much attention to the conversation, i was messing with Len.

"So, Naruto, how are the twins?" Sakura asked as she took a bite of her noddles.

"very noisy. And i can say, that they are mine for sure. Those two are serious trouble markers. Already learned to walk, now we have to get them to stop walking."

"like father like son." Shikamaru said before taking another bite of his food.

"yeah. now i cant stop worrying about the new baby."

"hmm? new baby?" naruto nodded at her words.

"hm? oh yeah, I'm pregnant." water spewed from my mouth and i spun to face him.

"what?"

"oh yeah! i forgot you didn't know yet. well, Gaara, I'm pregnant. there, now you know." He took another bite of his ramen. "mmm! this is good!" Everyone burst out laughing at the table.

"ne! Naruto, i guess this means out kids can play together right?" naruto nodded.

"hey! yeah, Sasuke, our kids can play together!" The uchiha face palmed. I simply sat there, still in shock over the impending child to be born. Having two mini naruto's is exhausting. But three?

"So how many?" Mina asked naruto excitedly.

"hmm? triplets."

"whoa! really three? Geez you and Gaara must fuck like bunnies. seems like it took forever for me to get pregnant, and i didn't even get twins!" i sat back in my chair. three more. three... Three more.... three.

"Gaara? Gaara honey you ok?" i could hear Naruto say faintly, but all that register, was three. three more.

kami-sama help me.

~~FIN~~
