"Sasuke-kun, do you see a future of us being together?"

Chapter 1:

'Sakura! Seriously you've been there for the last two hours and it's really scaring me, forehead! And not just that, I, too, am a human being who happens to have this feeling like I WANT TO PEE!'

I heard Ino knocking the door for the last couple of minutes. But everything just happened seemed to be so numb. My mind is,- I don't know. I am at loss for words. All I know is that I am in huge trouble. Very huge trouble.

And so is my boyfriend.

'Forehead, if you won't open this fucking door I'll seriously fucking break this down. I swear. And you know if I swear I'll-

'Ino.' I tried to calm her and myself when I called her as I open the door. But my knees are wobbling. And I feel like I am to faint anytime. Oh God.

'What the hell were you doing inside the bathroom for two hours! I was dead scared Sakura. And I was this close,' her thumb and index finger getting closer,' this close to breaking down the door. I mean, seriously-'

'Ino.' I called her with a rather quiet voice. And handed her over a white thing.

'Pig, my period is delayed.'

Her eyes widened.

'And I think I might just be pregnant.'

'Oh shit.'

'Okay, this is just weird.' Ino said as she calmed down a bit and sat down at the sofa beside me. We happened to be roommates. And best friends since- I don't know how long- kindergarten maybe. I didn't know she would freak out just as I did. Now, I'm officially scared.

She turned to look at me but I just stared at the TV. But I am not watching any show. Just staring at the TV, while wondering how am I to say this to my Dad who is surely going to kill me, if not, disown me. To my Mom who would be very disappointed since I am in my last year in MedSchool. To Naruto, my big brother but not technically by blood. And to his bestfriend who happens to be the father of my child.

Father of my child.

Creepy. I must say.

But somewhere deep inside me is not really that scared. I feel rather...

... happy.

'Sakura.' Ino whispered.

'Yes, I know. It was stupid. But it was just once that we didn't use it.' We were almost whispering. I guess this means we are still freaking out.

'So what are you going to do?'

'I'm still working on that.'

'Call him.'

'Then say what? "Hey Sasuke, you should know that you're going to be a father! We're pregnant." Dude, this is not One Tree Hill.' I deadpanned.

'I know. Then, what? Tell him after you tell your parents? Oh that would be nice. He'll get ambushed, at gun point, by your Dad without even knowing why. At least if you tell him first, both of you will have to tell your Mom and Dad together. And then your Dad will tell him to marry you right away. Still, at gun point.'

'Strength in numbers. That is a good plan.' I nodded in approval to her plan.

'Just call him, Sak.'

'Okay.'

I went to my room and looked for my phone. I found it on my bed. I sat down while actually trying to make myself calm and normal and just, trying to be myself and trying to sound normal. But I'm having jitters as I was dialing the phone.

Sasuke, please pick up the phone before I lost all my shear courage.

'Hello?'

'Hey! Finally. It's Sakura.'

'I know. I saw your face on my screen right before I answered your call.' I just felt him smirk as he said that.

'Right.' I chuckled nervously. 'Are you busy today? Can we meet up?'

'I have one more class and I'm free to go. I'll see you later at Port Cafe. I miss you, too.'

'Didn't say i missed you.' I rolled my eyes fighting the urge to smile. Funny how I seemed to forget that I was to tell him something later.

'Right. You just called me and wanted to see me- of course, you didn't miss your boyfriend.'

'Right. I'll see you there at four. And don't be late. I hate waiting.'

I heard him chuckle the kind of chuckle that would have probably made my heart melt if only I wasn't being anxious.

'I know. And I also have some news for you, but that's for later. I need to go. See you.'

'Don't be late!'

Sigh. I think I need to rehearse.

I told him to meet me here at four. But I have been here since two. And I still unable to master the art of telling your boyfriend that you're pregnant.

Gosh. If only there was something like that. This would be a whole lot easier.

Its quarter to four, and I am getting more nervous than ever. I have to make up my mind now. I need the perfect words. But there are no perfect words. I have been with Sasuke for three years and every possibility that might happen in our relationship- quarrels, arguments, break-ups, Karin- I had taken those in account.

Except for this.

I took a sip of my coffee as I saw a familiar figure enter the door almost rushing, but still in composure. I noticed he was a bit worn out but there was something in him today that almost seem like he's excited. He looked at the tables, probably searching for an empty one, since I know he didn't even consider I'd be here first. I told him to meet me at four, and it's still ten minutes before four. So this is probably what he does every time I told him to come and meet me here. He's always been the first to arrive.

I waved my hand as signal. And yes, he saw me. Who can't see a pink-haired girl looking all jittery now? I saw a surprised expression crossed his face. He's probably wondering why I'm here so early. But the surprise was replaced by a smile.

My chicken-haired boyfriend smiled, probably thinking that I missed him so much considering I was here first, and considering we haven't seen each other for two days. Its exam week for the Business students. Lucky for us Med School students, our exam will be the next week.

But honestly I'm not feeling any luck at me, at all, today.

'Hi.' I said. Oh shit my voice was higher than normal.

'Hn.' As he smiled more and sat down. 'You definitely didn't miss me.'

I felt my cheek warmed. It would really be a lie to say I didn't miss him. Of course I miss my chicken-haired boyfriend who's looking all too glorifying beautiful right now despite looking a bit stressed. Who wouldn't?

I looked away trying to hide my embarrassment and said, 'I didn't.'. He just laughed. 'Right.'

'So how was your exam?'

'It was fine. Still got one more left for tomorrow and after that, you are officially allowed to go to my apartment again.'

We have discussed before that if either one of us has an exam, we should not see each other until it's over. Because it would be too distracting.

'You wish. I am to have my exams next week so I can't go there. And you can't go to mine either.' I laughed, mocking his arrogance. 'Anyway, what were you going to tell me?'

Moegi, the orange-haired waitress who is always serving us here, excused herself as she placed Sasuke's order (I ordered it for him) on the table. Sasuke said a word of thanks and she blushed profusely.

'Oh, that.' He said.

'Yeah that.' I said.

'Sakura,' he leaned forward to the table. I have a pretty bad feeling I'm not going to like what he is about to say. I don't like the tone he is using.

He looked me in the eye. And from the look he is giving, I know he's trying to search for better words.

Pause.

Pause.

Pause.

'Are you breaking up with me?' I said in a quiet manner.

'God, no.'

Relieved. But still getting more nervous.

'Then why are you sounding like you're leaving?'

'Because, I am.'

author's notes:

* One Tree Hill: Peyton said those words to Lucas on the phone when she found out that she was pregnant. Season 7, i think. XD

Sooo? How was it? I don't think this'll be a long story but I will update if I see LOVE in a form of REVIEWS. XD

Like. Dislike. Comment.
