Baby Daddy

Warnings: AU, futurefic, Sakura and Sasuke friendship ONLY; implicit SasuKarin; Sakura POV

Protip: Character categories are usually for selecting the two main characters involved, which might not necessarily mean they are in an intimate relationship. There are other types of relationships (friendship, platonic, familial, business) two characters can be involved in and still come up as the two main characters.

In short, pay attention to the warning tags the fic is posted with and if it's not your cup of tea, hit the back button.


Sakura sighed.

One Sasuke Uchiha, aged eighteen, sat on her examination table in a thoroughly rumpled hospital gown. His face was warring between deep embarrassment and desperate fear and he clung to the table like a lifeline, his wedding band stark against his white knuckle grip.

"Could you tell me your symptoms again?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke squirmed in place, unwilling to look her in the eye as he described each symptom: nausea, trouble sleeping, unable to stop gaining weight and strange cravings. He added, "Please don't tell Karin. Stress isn't good for her in her condition."

Sakura drew in a deep breath through her nose and looked down at her clipboard. Her eyes then flicked back up to her patient.

There was really only one explanation for his array of symptoms, especially given the circumstances.

"You're pregnant," she said, bluntly.

It took a moment for the statement to register with her former teammate and she had to admit the look of horror on his face was spectacular: "What! But... but... I'm a man!"

"To be more precise, your wife is pregnant," Sakura sighed, reaching for her prescription pad and jotting something down. "It's called sympathetic pregnancy."

"What the- ?"

"Her pregnancy is making your hormones go crazy," Sakura explained patiently. "It'll all go back to normal after the baby comes."

"So what's that for?" he asked.

Sakura pressed the prescription slip into his hand. "This is for anxiety. It'll keep you from freaking out and tempting her to murder you during her labor. How the hell she hasn't killed you so far for the stuff you pull is an utter mystery."


AN: Really, seriously? I can't select the two main characters of a story unless they're boinking? Thank god I never look under the characters Minato and Naruto then! Squick!
