The room was small and fairly lit. Sakura's nerves were running on an all time high as she waited. Soon enough an elderly lady walked in and sat at the desk in front of her. She pulled out a file and laid it out in front of her. Sakura watched as she pulled out paper after paper placing them in there own place on the desk. The woman found a yellow piece of paper and placed it in front of her; she grabbed a pen out of the drawer and finally looked up at Sakura.

"Okay dear, I just need you to answer a few questions" the woman said smiling. Sakura nodded in understanding.

"Your first name?"

"Sakura" She answered as she watched the pen scribble onto the paper.

"Your age?"

"22"

"Your due date?"

"April 12"

"Ok so that puts you at 12 weeks" The woman said not even glancing up at Sakura. "Are you going to want to pick the adopting parents or let us handle that?"

Sakura hung her head and placed her hand on now swelling belly. "I will leave that for you to handle." She said quietly.

The woman glanced up at her for the first time. "The fathers name please?"

The father? I haven't even told the father. How could I let this happen? How could I let it go this far. She thought tears forming in her eyes.

"Dear, the fathers name please?"

Sakura couldn't even hear the voice speaking to her. She was lost in thought about how this whole thing happened in the first place.

FOUR MONTHS EARLIER

The morning mist hung in the air as Sakura walked through the field to the memorial stone. It seemed like it was only yesterday that they placed her comrade's name on the forever standing stone. She knelt before it and laid a small bouquet of daisies at the base. She skimmed her thumb across two names that now would be side by side for all eternity. Uzumaki Naruto and Uchihia Sasuke.

She slowly stood grazing her thumb across the names of her parents. It was 5 years ago her parent's lives were taken and only 3 years since her comrades were laid to rest. She lowered her head giving her prayer in silence.

She slowly opened her eyes as she felt a familiar chakra approaching.

"So I see you are the one who brings the fresh daisies everyday" Kakashi said from behind her.

She gave a small smile. "It's been along time sensei"

"Yes a little over two years now I suppose"

"Well you know how things go"

"Hhm" Was all he said as he stepped closer, standing next to her staring at the memorial.

"I never understood why you would come here everyday like you did, but I understand now." She said quietly.

He looked over at her. She had changed in 2 years. She matured very nicely. But her eyes that once held warmth and love looked sad and alone. He couldn't help but feel bad for losing contact with her for so long. But it pained him to be near her. He felt if he distanced himself from her he couldn't lose her. But he was wrong. Seeing her now made him realize how much he really missed her.

"It was nice seeing you again sensei" She said turning and walking away. Truth is she hadn't even looked at him, not once. She couldn't bring herself to do it. The last time she saw him she had broken down in front of him completely breaking out into tears and curses for those who had left her. And when it seemed he fell off the face of the earth only a few days later she blamed herself for chasing him off.

They were both feeling emptiness inside, one neither could explain. They longed for each others company. But both were too proud and too stubborn to admit it.

Sakura went on with her day, working her normal 10 hours at the hospital. This is where she did all of her interacting with friends and others. When they were injured, that is what her life came down to. She avoided idle chat. She felt no need to burden the world with her problems. The memorial stone in the early morning, then straight to the hospital, then of course home. Once in awhile she stopped for take out or took a quick swing to the grocery store, but that was the extent of her day.

At home, she would have a light dinner. Maybe once and a while read a few medical scrolls. By 8 o'clock she would be relaxing in her daily bubble bath a glass of wine close by. She couldn't remember the last time she was up past 9:30.

But after today her routine began to slowly change. Day after day her and Kakashi stood at the memorial stone. Every day a few more words were said. He began to notice that she would never look at him. It bothered him, he wanted to know why. After the fourth day of their meeting he asked her if she would like to go to dinner that evening. She tried to avoid it, but he caught her on every excuse. She finally gave in, but couldn't figure out why it made her nervous. It was only Kakashi.

All day, her focus was off, all because she couldn't get him out of her head. She didn't know what she was going to do. Doing something as personal as going out to dinner with him there was no way she was going to be able to avoid looking at him. She decided she had to cancel. She quickly wrote up a note saying how sorry she was and some lie about how she had to work late, also saying that she hoped they could reschedule at a later date. She reread over her note and felt satisfied that that would do the trick. She sent for a messenger and told him to deliver it immediately.

The truth was her day was going to be rather short. Not much excitement had happened. She left for home an hour earlier then she usually did. She ran to her apartment as quick as her legs could carry her. She laid on her couch in the dark for a couple more hours just in case he would try and stop by. When she decided she had waited long enough she went to draw her nightly bath. She had stripped her clothes off and slipped into her silk robe. She turned off the bath water and made her way to the kitchen to retrieve her nightly glass of wine. She was searching her cupboards looking for a clean wine glass when she heard a knock at the door.

Her body froze. She could sense his chakra. If I don't answer it he will think I'm not home and go away she knew she was telling herself a lie. She was pretty sure that if she could feel his chakra he could feel hers. He knocked again three times before calling out to her.

"Sakura open the door I know you are home."

Sakura's heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice. What the hell am I gonna do now? Maybe I should tell him I'm sick. Yeah that'll work. COUGH COUGH "I'm sorry I'm not feeling well and I would hate for you to get sick." She said trying to sound sick.

"I'll chance it. Now let me in."

Damn it why does he have to be so stubborn! She yelled out in her head. She finally gave in and slowly opened the door. "What do you want?" She said quietly while she stared at his feet avoiding to look at him.

"Why are you avoiding me Sakura?" He asked sounding angry.

"Avoiding you? What makes you think I'm avoiding you?" She asked growing frustrated. She knew she couldn't tell him. So she got her self backed up into a corner.

"Okay then. Why won't you look at me?"

She tensed up hearing his question. There was no way to avoid him now. He surely saw her reaction.

"I…..I don't know what you're talking about." Her voice shaky.

She watched his feet step move towards her and before she could back away from him she felt strong hands grab her arms.

"Look at me Sakura." He whispered sounding hurt.

"I can't" She said softly.

"Why?"

"Because I can't" She said trying to pull away from him. But his grip wasn't loosening and she couldn't back away.

She felt his hand under her chin. She couldn't fight it. He brought her face up to meet his. He stared down at her eyes shut tight. He gave a chuckle at her actions. But before she could question him on what was so funny, his lips gently met hers.

She gasped, surprised by his action. He's kissing me, his lips feel so good. Wait his lips? He's not wearing his mask. She thought as her eyes shot open. They're lips parted and she stared at his unmasked face. He was gorgeous, there were no buck teeth or blimp lips, nothing but a perfect face. Her heart began to race, craving for his lips again.

A small smirk crossed his lips as he watched her. She slowly brought her eyes up to his and blushed beet red as she smiled.

That's what started it. Every day for two weeks they met secretly to give into there lust filled desires. Sakura was in love. It was the first time in years she smiled just to smile. He made her feel whole again. She had feelings for him for years, but it wasn't till now that she believed it. But she didn't know how to tell him, she was too scared to lose someone else.

On the last night they were together Kakashi snuck out before she woke up. He stood next to the bed watching her sleep. He had fallen in love with her too. It scared him, he never felt this strongly for someone in many years. He knew he had to leave, he knew he had to get away from her. Everyone he was ever close to always died and he wasn't about to lose her too. Not to death anyway. So he left, and did his hardest to disappear from her life.

After a few days she realized he wasn't coming back. She cried once again almost every night. She didn't know why he left. Her heart was broken and she decided she would probably never recover this time. It wasn't until two weeks after there last night together she found out about her expecting condition.

PRESENT

And that's how she ended up at this place. In this horrible little room preparing to give the life that grew inside of her to someone else.

She sat with her hand on her belly and watched as the tears fell onto her hand. I love him so much, but I can't force him to love me or our child.

"Sweetie, are you alright" the lady asked.

"Yes" she sniffled "Can we please skip the father section?" She asked quietly.

MEANWHILE

Kakashi was walking down the hall towards Tsunade's office. He was turning in his report from his five week mission he had just returned from. He took it hoping it would help him forget about her, but it only made it worse. He wanted to hold her in his arms again. He dreamed about their bodies entwined together in passion.

He softly knocked on Tsunade's door.

"Come in"

Kakashi slowly walked in and saw Tsunade sitting at her desk and Shizune waiting patiently next to her.

"I'll be with you in a moment" She said never looking up from her desk.

After five minutes she quickly rolled up the scroll she'd been writing and handed it to Shizune.

"Please take this to Sakura immediately."

Shizune nodded and quickly left to deliver the scroll. Kakashi watched the faces of the two women, they seemed sad. He had no idea what was going on, but he wanted to find out.

"Kakashi, I hope you are bringing me your report."

"Yes" He said handing her the report.

"Good. You better get some rest your next mission is in two days." She said looking over the report.

"Madam Hokage is there a problem with Sakura?"

Tsunade looked up at him from the report. "Well of course there's a problem, she won't be able to work for 6 months." She said adding a few words under her breath.

Kakashi looked at her confused as ever.

"Kakashi let me ask you. Sakura and you are close so maybe you can tell me who the father is."

"Father? Who's father?"

"The father of Sakura's baby of course, she won't tell me. I suppose she knows what I'll do to him for turning his back on his responsibility." She turned to stare out the window, starting to get irritated by just the thought.

Kakashi felt his chest tighten. "I never even knew she was pregnant."

"Oh" Tsunade looked at him, her eyebrow raised.

"How far along is she?" He asked trying to keep himself together.

"Three months."

Three months. She was with…… His eye widened and his breathing almost stopped.

"Kakashi are you alright? You don't look too good."

"Do you know where I can find her? I would like to speak with her." He almost demanded impatiently.

She looked at him annoyed by his rudeness. "She has an appointment at the adoption agency today." She looked at the clock. "Actually she should be there now"

"Adoption Agency?!"

"Yes, she is giving the child up for adoption, something about not wanting to burden the father or something like that. I say cut his nuts off. But that's my……." She looked around for Kakashi but he was no where in sight. "I wonder what's got into him?"

"I am sorry dear we cannot approve the adoption unless the father agrees."

"I see" She said tears still falling "Then there is no need for me to be here." She got up and exited the room as quick as she could, making her way to the front door. She stepped outside and stopped. Her tears now became uncontrollable, she covered her crying with her hands and fell back against the wall. "Why? Why this?" She cried out softly.

"Sakura" Kakashi called quietly.

She quickly stood back up straight and wiped away her visible tears. There eyes met. She didn't know what to say. She tried to hold back her tears but it was no use.

This is all my fault He thought. Then he noticed her belly. He slowly walked up to her and placed his hands on her stomach. He could feel the baby move.

Sakura wanted to back away but she couldn't she wanted to be close to him. She wanted him to be a father to their child. But she wasn't about to force him into anything.

"Why didn't you tell me" He asked softly still focusing on her slightly swollen belly.

"You were the one that left me Kakashi remember." She stated

"Sakura if I would have known, I…."

"You would have what? Threw me aside but still take responsibility for your child" She said angry as ever. She stepped away from him. "I don't want your sympathy Kakashi. You made your decision three months ago, now leave me alone!" She yelled and quickly turned walking away.

Kakashi stood there. He didn't know how to make things right. She was right though, he left her. He didn't even say good-bye or give her a reason; he just disappeared from her life. He knew he had to make things better. But that would mean he would have to tell her how he felt and he wasn't sure if he could.
