Chapter 1: What to do?
I should have known better than to act on impulse and accept the invitation from that red headed devil. I shouldn't of listened to my impulses. I should have known better than to fall under the spell of temptation. I shouldn't of drank the harsh but welcoming spirits. The oh so welcoming bitter taste followed by warmth throughout my entire being had won me over though. Perhaps if I had listened to my cousin I would of realized the path I was placing myself on, one that I cannot escape without major repercussions. I suppose when I think about what lays ahead of me it's not all that bad, but then again, there's the part where I actually have to play the role of a 'loving' wife. If you can even call it that. There isn't any love involved in this situation. At least we have the attraction towards each other. That factor was proved over and over again the night of Gaara Sabuku's annual summer celebration. I should have listened to Ino when she said to get on birth control too, or I wouldn't be sitting in the bathroom in the Hyuuga manor waiting on the results of a pregnancy test.
A few days after the party my father had summoned me into his office. To my dismay he had learned about what I had done and who I had done it with. After using some pretty fowl language to describe how he felt about me and my actions, he told me that he had talked to Fugaku Uchiha. This got my attention real fast, especially when he said that I'd be getting married to Sasuke Uchiha. Both my father and Fugaku were fed up with our behaviour. Apparently I wasn't the only one acting like a wild child, putting it lightly. My father had me sign a contract agreeing to the marriage, I didn't have any other option. Well it was that or be disowned, and that doesn't appeal to me at all. My father had mentioned that Sasuke had to sign a similar contract, so I didn't feel that bad about it. Really, thinking back, my whole life involved signing contracts my father threw at me. I can't remember what every contract was about, but I assumed that it was just his way of saying he loves me and wanting to make sure I was staying on track in life. Seeing as he hasn't been able to express any emotion to me since the day my mother passed. He never had a problem expressing his love for my younger sister, Hanabi, though.
My sister and I have a good relationship. We get along great. She can be a brat though, but then again, she's our father's favorite so it makes sense. She's spoiled to the core, but she can be sweet and compassionate when I need someone there. In fact, she's the one who suggested I get a pregnancy test in the first place. We both have a trust for one another, where we can tell each other anything and not worry about either one of us blabbing to father about it. No matter how disastrous. There's about a five year difference in age between us, but sometimes she seems to be wise beyond her years. It never ceases to amaze me.
Feeling like enough time has passed, I glance at the screen of my phone. Five minutes has passed since I peed on the dreaded stick that will determine the next step I take. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath. Walking across the over sized bathroom to the counter, I glance down at the pregnancy test. Picking it up, the digital words PREGNANT flash on the little stick. My mind doesn't process the flashing word right away. Once the words finally sink in, the stick drops from my hands. Sliding down against the wall, sitting on the floor. My legs pulled up against my chest, millions of thoughts and emotions flood my being. The one thought that stands out the most though causes my body to shudder.
What will father do? What will Sasuke do?
Well, Sasuke is already in this for the long run with me. But the thought of what my father will do when he hears the news just makes me shudder even more. Out of all the things I've done, this is the worst possible thing I could do. Having sex out of wedlock is one thing, but revealing to my father that he's going to be a Grandfather before either of his daughters are married will make him livid. Our relationship is strained enough as it is. Maybe I'm overreacting and he'll be over-joyed by the news? No. He'll be ashamed. This could risk my claim as the eldest heiress to the Hyuuga head seat and inheritance. He was already threatening to revoke my claims to the head seat and give it to Hanabi. Not that I'm bothered by this, the pressure of it would be to much for her poor heart though.
A knock on the bathroom door pulled me out of my thoughts. Slowly, I pull myself up by the edge of the counter. Going to the door, I unlock it and let my sister in. Going back to where I had dropped the pregnancy test, I pick it up and hold it out to her. Gently, she takes it and looks down at the flashing word. Silence fills the space between us for a few moments. Eventually she sets it on the counter. Feeling her close to me, I look up into her lavender eyes. The same as mine.
"What are you going to do..?" She places her hand on my shoulder, her eyes filled with concern.
"I'm not sure.." Tears slowly start to trickle down my face. I hadn't realized that I was crying until she reaches up and wipes away the salty liquid.
"The only thing that I can think about is what will father do? I've even wondered what Sasuke would do. But then I realize that whatever I chose he's in the same boat as I am. At least that's a comforting though.."
After a few moments of quiet, I look up at Hanabi once again. A soft smile graces her delicate features. Her hand slips into mine and she leads me out of the bathroom, into the hallway. Following after her, we soon enter out shared living room. We both sit down on the ivory couch.
"You know I support you with whatever decision you make."
I look up at her in surprise.
"You don't ever have to say that Nabi. That goes without saying, for either of us."
She smiles knowingly at me.
"Yes, you're right as usual Nata." We both share a knowing look. "So.. What are you going to do?"
Biting my lip, I let my mind ponder on her question. Not really needing to think about it, due to already knowing deep down what it is I'm going to do. I look her in the eyes, determination sparking within them.
"I'm going to keep it. I just need to figure out how I'm going to tell father.."
"I knew you would say that," she says with a big grin. "And I know how you can get around any confrontation with father."
"How?" Feeling quite anxious at what she has to say.
"Go to father and request that you and Sasuke get married in a week. Tell him that you want to atone for your past behaviour by uniting both clans together sooner rather than later. This will appease him greatly."
My eyes widened as what she said processed within my mind. A grin matching hers crosses my features as realization dawns. Getting up, I pull her into a tight hug. Placing a kiss on her cheek, I whisper thanks to her then quickly leave to my room. Knowing I need to meet with Sasuke before I ask my father to meet with me. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I sit in my computer chair and push dial once I find his name in my contacts. After a few rings he answers.
"Yes?"
"I need to see you. Now."
"..It's late."
"I know. It's important though."
A sigh comes from his end.
"Fine. I'll meet you at the Little Cafe in 15 minutes."
"Okay."
Clicking end call on the screen, I slide my phone into my pocket and get up. Grabbing my purse and car keys I exit my room in a hurry. Not seeing Hanabi in our connecting living room, I quickly leave a note for her letting her know where I'm going. Once done with that I walk through the Hyuuga manor and enter the monstrous garage. Sliding into the drivers seat of my deep purple Mustang, I start up the engine. Revving it a bit, I smile as the sound reverberates throughout the garage. Pushing the open button on my mini-garage door remote, I speed out of the garage. Turning on the radio, random lyrics accompanied by a soft melody float from the speakers. Singing along to the lyrics, the time flies by as I drive to the cafe Sasuke said to meet him at. Turning off into a parking lot, I park the car. Pulling the keys out of the ignition, I climb out of the car. Making sure to lock it, I enter the cafe. Looking around the cozy familiar room I spot who I'm looking for.
Sitting down at the table hidden in a dim lit corner, my eyes meet onyx ones. Exhaustion was clearly visible on the young Uchiha's face. There seemed to be a bit of annoyance flickering in his eyes as well. Deciding not to waste any time, I pull a baggy out of my purse. Setting it in front of Sasuke. He gives me a questioning look, then turns his gaze down to the baggy and what it contains. Watching him carefully, I notice confusion followed by questioning then shock as the flashing word on the pregnancy test processes in his mind. He looks up at me, I gaze back at him with a look of calm.
"You're..pregnant..?" his words come out in a hushed tone.
I simply nod. Waiting for him to speak more. Moments of silence slip between us. He finally speaks.
"Have you decided...on what to do?"
"I'm keeping it." Thankfully my voice didn't quiver.
"Did you tell your father?"
"No. If he finds out then things will become worse for both of us."
Placing his elbows on the table, he buries his face in his hands.
"Agreed." His voice came out in a sigh.
"My sister suggested that we request to get married within a weeks time so that we can hide the pregnancy until after the...honeymoon." I grimace a bit at the last word.
At my words, he gazes up at me. His expression filled with understanding.
"Remind me to thank your sister."
I smile at that. For a brief moment he returns the gesture, but soon frowns.
"I should have known better than to not use a condom that night. If it weren't for my stupidity then we wouldn't have to rush into this..this marriage and parenthood."
"It's not just your fault. It's mine as well. Alcohol and lust don't mix."
He smirks at my words. Sitting back in his seat, his stormy black eyes gaze into my lilac tinted ones. His hands snake over to mine, twining them together.
"We're both in this mess together and I have one thing to say about this. I'm glad that it's you I'm in the situation with. I don't think I'd be able to stand anyone else."
Smirking in turn, I lean towards him. He follows suit. Barely two inches were between our lips. He leans in a bit further until his lips press against mine. Closing my eyes, I lean into his intimate caress. Feeling him nibble on my lower lip, verging on biting, a very familiar heat begins to spread between my thighs. Before things could get further, the black haired devil pulls back. That pantie-twisting smirk of his gracing his lips. Sticking my tongue out at him, I sit back in my seat.
"I think I'm in agreement with you. Thank god for our mutual attraction or else this situation would suck. Although I doubt we'd be in this situation if we didn't have the attraction... Meh." Shrugging, my gaze meets his with a spark of lust that mirrors the feeling in his gaze. After a few moments a serious look settles on his face.
"I will speak with my father about wanting to up the wedding to later this week. I assume you will speak with yours as well?"
Nodding, I speak softly, "Yes. I'm sure he will be pleased when I tell him how I want to atone for my past mistakes by uniting both of our clans as soon as possible. He just loves it when I throw my dignity under the bus. But it's better than the alternative."
"Agreed. I will call you tomorrow. Have a good night... And stay away from unhealthy food. I don't want our baby coming out deformed because of your weird eating habits."
"Hey! My eating habits are perfectly fine thank you!" My arms cross as I glare at him.
He snorts, "Yeah, right. How is pickles and rocky road perfectly okay?"
Grumbling, I glower at him. Smirking, he places a teasing kiss on my lips then leaves the cafe. Sighing, I get up and order a hot chocolate to go. After paying and receiving the hot coco, I leave and get into my car. Pulling out of the parking lot I head home. In the morning I was going to have to face my father and that meant doing what I hated the most. Throwing away any dignity I had left. At least I could attain it once again when I exited his office..
Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing flashbacks from the night Hinata and Sasuke had a drunken affair. Or flashbacks relating to their relationship. They are childhood friends, mind you. R&R! :)
