Naruto's pov

Sasuke unlocked the door and I helped him inside. His limp pointed out to me that he was more injured than I'd previously noticed.

"I think you require a hospital visit , I'll drive you to the nearest one." I told him.

"No I can't leave the kids at home alone." He began to panick.

"We could wake them up and take them with us" I suggested.

"No. I don't want them to see me like this" he said on the verge of tears again. I couldn't begin to imagine what Sasuke was currently going through but I was determined to help him in any way I could .

"Sasuke you need medical attention I don't think -" I was interrupted by loud wailing.

"Mom I've been screaming your name for so long, I thought something bad happened to you" shrieked a purple eyed girl through tears. She ran to Sasuke not knowing he was injured, unintentionally causing him to stumble backwards though I managed to catch him before he tripped.

Sasuke was in very bad shape and just about managed to grant her a mellow smile.I grew slightly anxious given that this was my first encounter with my daughter and didn't really know what to say to her in this type of a situation.

"Your mom is not feeling too good right now Azia " I let her know so she didn't accidentally injure Sasuke any more.

"Woah, who are you? How do you know my name! Are you the one who hurt my mom?!" She interrogated causing me to chuckle, I could already tell she was just like Sasuke, always jumping to the wildest conclusions and asking questions before even letting me answer. I was definitely in for a world of trouble.

Before she let me explain myself she began to panick.

"Let go of my mom!" She yelled whilst hitting my leg and went on to call for back up.

"Setoooo! Somebody is trying to hurt mom"

Sasuke seemed troubled by our encounter. I was conscious of the fact he wouldn't want me to introduce myself as their father right away and that he didn't want the kids to see him in this state.

"I'm a very good friend of your moms and I wouldn't hurt him because I love him very much so there's no need to worry." I told her after putting Sasuke down onto the couch and patting her head.

"Moms... friend?" She questioned before turning to Sasuke for confirmation.

"He's more of an acquaintance. Don't trust him. If you see him doing anything suspicious get Seto and call 911, run away as fast as you can. Ok darling?" Sasuke exaggerated.

"Yes mommy" Azia replied then kissed Sasuke on the cheek. It was obvious that she revered Sasuke by the way she clung onto each of his words as the truth. I couldn't believe the outlandish claims Sasuke had just made but I was distracted by how adorable their bond is and how good of a mother Sasuke was since I didn't really pin him down as someone who was much good with kids.

"Seriously Sasuke? Don't pollute her mind with lies" I snapped at him.

"I'm not, I'm taking ample precautions against you" he replied

"Are you being serious right now?! What's there to be-"

Our bicker was interrupted.

In walked a blue eyed little boy rubbing his eyes from fatigue.

"Why did you wake me up stupid Azia..." he questioned before meeting my gaze.

"Your my dad aren't you?" He surmised as he looked at me who was his mirror image. I turned to Sasuke who was just as astounded as I was. Before I could reply Azia ran towards him.

"Seto... why would you think that. You know we don't have a dad because He hates us" Azia said with a sad look on her face. My heart shattered seeing my daughter make that sad face and knowing that I've missed irretrievably crucial years of my childrens lives. Nothing could describe the aching feeling in my chest.

"I could never hate you." I responded only for Azia to break into tears.

"Well I hate you! you left us and mom all alone! You never cared about us in the first place it's too late to start now!" She screamed then ran into Sasukes arms.

"Azia it's more complicated than you could imagine" Sasuke told her as she wept.

"It's not that I hated you Azia, I just never knew you and I know that's not an excuse. I'm so sorry that I wasn't in your life before now but I'm here because I want to know you better." I told her. I didn't really know what to say. The circumstances were tougher than I had expected.

I turned to Seto who looked away. Azia clung to Sasuke , completely blanking me and Sasuke himself served me a cold glare. They were all mad at me.

I sighed and decided that Sasukes health needed to be a priority since there wasn't much I could do to win the favour of my kids.

"Please can you all just get ready to go to the hospital." I asked politely.

"We don't take orders from you," Sasuke scoffed rolling his eyes backwards but picking up Azia and Seto anyways and taking them to get changed. He could be so childish sometimes but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love that about him.

Sasuke and the twins came out dressed to go out. I still couldn't get over the fact I was a father to two adorable kids and didn't really know how to act around them.

I grabbed the kid seats and we walked to the car. I

still received the silent treatment on the way to the hospital but I didn't mind, seeing as I enjoyed watching them strop and pout. Sasuke carried the twins out of the car until we got to the hospital reception and he was admitted. They weren't allowed to follow him so they stayed with me.

I placed Azia on my lap and although she made unwelcoming facial expressions she didn't resist me. Instead she actually ended up falling asleep within minutes. Since Azia was sleeping and Sasuke was away being treated I decided to use this time to bond with my son.

"So Seto... how do you-"

"Azia doesn't really hate you, you know. It's actually the opposite. She's like that, when she's too embarrassed she says the opposite of how she feels."

Seto telling me this was heart warming .

"And what about you?" I asked him.

"Mom and Azia really like you... I can tell so-" He was completely evading my question.

"Seto, I want to know how you feel about this" I told him. He gripped the bottom of my shirt with his tiny palm.

"I've never looked like mom or Azia, all their features are so different. In daycare some kids say that I'm adopted but now I see you and understand better. I feel like... like I'm part of a family" Seto said to me.

It hurt that due to my absence Seto had felt like an outcast for so long and didn't have the courage to speak up. When I met Seto I assumed he was just a quiet kid but now I see I misjudged his character. Seto was never quiet, he was just lonely.

I pulled him up onto my other lap and kissed him on his forehead. He wiped off the kiss immediately assif to say he was too grown to be kissed by his dad which made me wish I could've been with him as a little baby, on the days where he wouldn't have wiped away my kisses.

"Always remember that every family is different Seto" I told him.

"Dad..." he said causing my heart to explode. This was the first time in the world anyone had ever called me dad.

"Yes" I responded.

"Promise me you'll never leave" he said to me.

"I promise" I told him meaning every word. To my surprise he hugged me. I was shocked and glad to have made a breakthrough with my son.

The nurse came back and told us that Sasuke had been treated and would be allowed to return home on the condition he is properly cared for and rests for a long time so Sasuke agreed to let me stay and look after him for the meanwhile.

The twins fell straight back asleep when we arrived home leaving just me and Sasuke alone.

"Sasuke..." I said to him.

"What is it Naruto?" He asked impatiently.

"I love you"

Sasukes cheeks flushed red and he looked away emberassed. I savoured the sight and kissed him on his forehead before preparing to exit his room seeing as I knew Sasuke wasn't prepared to acknowledge or return my love.

"Thank you," Sasuke had said when I was inches away from the door.

"For what?" I wondered.

"Even though things didn't work out between us and you probably hate the fact that I'm an omega, you've given me the two greatest blessings in my life. That's why despite everything, I've never hated you. I'm grateful to you Naruto" Sasuke said softly.

"You being an omega doesn't change anything. Your still you" I told Sasuke honestly.

"I can't give you what you want Naruto" Sasuke said frankly.

" I can't be with you in that way. I'm happy that you want to be a part of the kids life but" I silenced Sasuke by kissing his lips.

"Don't say anything more , just give us time" I told Sasuke before turning off his lights and saying my goodnight.

I wonder if Sasuke can ever move past everything that's happened between us. The looming suspense scares me.
