Naruto's pov

My dad would be taking a break from his travels abroad and returning to Japan this week.This would be the perfect time to introduce him to Seto and Azia. Although they were excited to meet him, he had no idea about their existence since I myself only recently reconnected with them. I wasn't sure how he would react. Still, there was no time like the present to turn up at his doorstep with surprise grandkids.

Since Sasuke had been feeling unwell recently, me and the kids would be going without him. He'd thrown up several mornings in a row and was too sick to go anywhere. Honestly, I think Sasuke is pregnant.

He's lost a lot of muscle mass and began eating odd food combinations however I don't know how to bring up the the topic of pregnancy without triggering or offending him. Plus, there is a slight chance that I'm misinformed as nowadays Sasuke forces me to wear a condom every-time we have sex.

I went to my room,where Sasuke was tucked snuggly underneath covers, to say goodbye.

"Bye mom!" Seto said.

"Bye Seto, have fun" Sasuke replied with a plastic smile.

I think he was upset that Azia hadn't come to say goodbye. At first I thought Azias coldness towards Sasuke was trivial. She would throw a fit anytime Sasuke attempted to talk to her, it was obvious this rejecting behaviour was hurting Sasuke. The fact she didn't even come to say goodbye to Sasuke when he was sick showed me this had become a serious matter but raising this now would only throw salt on the wound.

"We'll be back soon, call me if you need anything" I let Sasuke know.

"Ok" he replied sadly then rolled over and covered himself with a blanket.

"Dad where's Azia?" Seto asked as we were leaving the room. It's true that most of the time Seto showed advanced levels of intellegence but in this moment I was reminded he was just a 2 year old who couldn't read the room. I hoped Sasuke didn't hear the question Seto had asked and ignored it.

When we arrived at the car where Azia was waiting I asked her why she didn't say goodbye to Sasuke but she simply shrugged in response. Why was she behaving like this?

I called my dad 5 minutes before arriving at his place and told him to open the door. This way I was able to walk in easily with both Azia and Seto in each arm.

"Holy shit!" Minato exclaimed.

"Seriously dad?!" I scolded whilst Seto and Azia giggled.

"Naruto... why does that kid look exactly like you. "Don't tell me you knocked up a whore and only just managed to get joint custody of the kids... I mean that would explain why they're so grown yet I'm only just meeting them" Minato theorised. Before I could answer him,he continued to speak.

"Awww but they're so cute though! What's your name pretty?" he asked whilst squishing Azias cheeks in a painfully concerning manner.

"I'm Azia and this is my brother Seto, nice to meet you Grandpa" she responded. Minato squealed from excitement without even waiting to hear my explanation.

"Oh my goodness my grandkids are so adorable. But listen, don't call me Grandpa it makes me feel too old. I'm still so fresh and groove so Minato will do just fine" He corrected.

"Minato?" Seto confirmed.

"Ahhh your so smart, come here and give me a hug!!!" he said whilst picking Seto up and squishing him in a similar manner he did Azia. Azia giggled, finding this funny whilst Setos expression gave the opposing impression that he was being tortured.

"Dad can you not manhandle my kids please?!" I asked as I was scared he would literally break them from a coddling overdose.

"I need them!" Minato screamed.

"What?!" I responded confused. My dad could be so weird I don't know why I didn't see this coming.

"I mean tonight... please let them stay the night. I mean you can stay too if you want but honestly I'd much prefer if you give us space to bond and whatnot" He continued.

"Erm sure but only if the kids actually want to stay . I think you're scaring them, more importantly don't you have any questions, your awfully lax about this" I queried.

"Ah yes questions... do they prefer red or white whine-" he jested.

"Let's go kids" I told Seto and Azia preparing to escape from my crazy dads house. Whether it was a joke or not the fact he considered it a possibility to serve 2 year olds alchohol was quite scary to me.

"Haha just relax. I don't have any questions, I know in due time this will all make sense. Feel free to disclose information at a pace that your comfortable with. All jokes aside, as my only child in the world, it's my duty to always be there for you and support you. I'm just happy to see you have a family of your own to come home to. I know Kushina would be glad..."

I was so moved by my dads warming speech that I let him keep the kids for the night which is a decision that, as I'm nearing my house, I'm starting to regret. I should've atleast layed down a list of ground rules because Minato had an affinity to spoil those around him.

I arrived and went to check on Sasuke.

"Hey, I'm back. The kids wanted to stay overnight, I hope you don't mind" I asked him.

"Y-yeah it's fine. As long as they're happy..." Sasuke sounded hoarse. I turned him over only to see that his eyes were sore and red, from the looks of it he'd been crying.

I pulled him up and embraced him and he sunk into my chest.

"What's the matter?" I asked although I think I already knew.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling really sick and I guess I have low pain tolerance so-"

"It's like you keep forgetting we're mates now, you can't lie to me Sasuke."

"...

I'm pregnant. I took a test last week but how can I have another child when the one I already have hates me?" Sasuke asked through tears.

Unbeknown to Sasuke, I had already suspected this to be the case.

"First of all, you should really tell me these things straight away instead of burdening yourself alone. Secondly, your a wonderful mom so don't beat yourself up about Azias behaviour. She's at that age where kids start to act out it's just a phase that she'll soon grow out. Please don't be sad" I said whilst rubbing his back.

"Hmm I hope so" Sasuke conceded.

"Are you not mad at me for getting pregnant again?" Sasuke asked whilst covering his face. I guess he was embarrassed.

"Hahaha I don't think I could ever be mad at you Sasuke, especially not for something as joyous as this." I informed him.

"So your happy?" He probed.

"Very" I replied then kissed his forehead. Sasuke seemed relieved.

The next day I went to pick up Seto and Azia. Minato nearly cried when it was time for them to leave, it was funny to see how attached he'd grown to them as well as rewarding to watch as disappointment filled his eyes when I refused to let them stay any longer.

"Azia, you need to apologise to your mom for your behaviour recently." I told her.

"Don't want to" she pouted.

"Well unfortunately you weren't given a choice."

I was always very easy going when it came to Azia but in this case where her actions were upsetting Sasuke without justification, I wasn't willing to compromise.

She stormed off to find Sasuke and of course I secretly followed her.

"Sorry mom. "Azia said insincerely. Sasuke jerked his head childishly. As poor as it is to admit, I found this too entertaining. It was always fun for me to see Sasuke acting cute and stroppy since he never behaved that way around me.

"Kids" Seto retorted whilst appearing from out of nowhere. I placed my arm around his shoulders.

"Tell me about it..." I responded. Although me and Seto were acting like the most mature ones here, in truth we were no better than Azia and Sasuke since we were hiding outside and eavesdropping on their conversation.

"For what?" Sasuke asked Azia.

"I don't know, dad told me to apologise so I did."

My pupils flew out of my sockets. Seriously Azia ? Seto laughed at my reaction and pretended to snack on popcorn assif to say he was enjoying the show.

"So your not sorry for your behaviour then?" Sasuke interrogated.

"Im not sorry! It's you who should be sorry, I overheard your conversation with granny! I know your having another kid! You don't need me anymore so I made the job easier and ignored you!" Azia yelled with tears welling up. I began to feel bad for eavesdropping on this personal conversation.

"Woah... Azia is so dumb" Seto said making me chuckle. It was funny to me that not only did he not feel bad but this is what Seto took from everything Azia had said about having another sibling.

"Im sorry if hearing my conversation made you feel that way, I'll always need you Azia no matter how many kids I have, so please don't think like that" Sasuke assured her.

"This is getting boring now" Seto moaned and walked away to play on his console.

I also decided to let Sasuke and Azia reconcile in private and stopped eavesdropping.

It was days like these I felt the most grateful.
