"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh INO! I can't believe this shit!" Sakura Haruno said, pacing around her room, her small feet sliding through the white plush carpet underneath. She folded her arms frowning, and pouting. "This cannot be happening right now Ino! I'm only 22!"

Ino Yamanaka shook her head while standing in the bathroom door, leaning on the door frame, "Sakura, calm down, it's not that bad," she said. She pulled her platinum blond hair out of the tight ponytail and shook her head free of the tangles and mini curls, "Why are you so edgy anyway? You always wanted to have one with Sasuke so why are you acting so incredible about the whole situation, Sak?"

Sakura walked over to the bed and plopped down on it, "I'm just scared Ino," she admitted, laying her head down on a purple plush pillow. "I can't do this on my own; it's too complicated right now," she fiddled with the fabric of the pillow, and looking at Ino.

Ino raised an eyebrow at her. She got to be kidding if she really is going to believe that. Ino walked over to the bed and stood in front of Sakura, "Sak, I'm not even going to believe that for a second. You have me, Tsunade, Shizune, and a bunch of other people, plus you're a fucking medic-nin for dicksake! You know how to handle these things," she sat down on the bed next to Sakura. "Sakura, this was like your dream since we were in the academy. Tell me what's really wrong," She said softly.

"What if he doesn't want it?"

The room got silent and Ino bit her lip trying to figure out what to say. Sasuke was a very unpredictable person. You might think he will do one thing, but in the end he does the complete opposite. She wouldn't think Sasuke would leave Sakura after this but who knows? Ino heard soft whimpers coming from Sakura as she lied on the pillow, Ino could tell that she was crying. She wouldn't ever think that something like this would really have an effect on Sakura. Ino laid her head on Sakura's side, softly rubbing her back to soothe her.

Sakura has been her best friend for quite some time now and she knows exactly how to calm her down or make her feel better. That's a bond that they shared; comfort.

"What am I supposed to do?"

Ino thought to herself quietly. What was Sakura supposed to do? The best thing to do was to tell Sasuke and hope for the best, either way she will be by her side with or without him. "Tell him. It's the only way to know if he's man enough for this or just a punk boy," She said.

Sakura felt her heart clench from those words enough though Ino made complete sense.

Later that night, after some cookies and ice-cream and movies and gossip talks at Ino house, Sakura's mood lifted, she felt better than before and didn't even think about Sasuke the whole time, until she reached her home and he was walking up the pathway. Her heart almost dropped once she saw him, standing there looking at her, blooded and scratched up. His raven hair was tinted a dark maroon and his face had splattered blood on it and his eyes casual like nothing just happened.

"Sakura"

She jumped from the sound of his smooth, deep voice and stared into his obsidian eyes. "Y-yes?" she answered. She mentally kicked herself for sounding so weak in front of him, now he's going to think something is wrong with her and she didn't need his stares or questioning eyes.

"Where are you coming from?"

She tensed up, she didn't know whether to say Ino's house or the hospital, either way they both were correct. "Ino's house…" she whispered timidly. His hard stare at her was becoming more uncomfortable as he watched her shift her weight. She slowly walked past him and up the pathway leading into her house, when she reached the door she could still feel Sasuke's stare on the back of her head, boring holes into it. She opened the door and turned the light on, allowing Sasuke to come in.

Once the door was closed she felt his arms wrapped around her torso area, and his head lying on her shoulder. "What's wrong?" he asked, rubbing on her arms gently. Sakura froze, she didn't want Sasuke to catch any hints, so she hurriedly and made a quick excuse.

"I'm just tired Sasuke-kun..."

Sasuke released his grip on her and grabbed her hand leading her up the steps, and into her bedroom. "You don't have to heal my wounds tonight, just rest." He said softly. He pulled his vest and net shirt off and proceeded to walk over to her bed.

"Sasuke…"

He stopped in his trails, turning his head to look at her, "Hn?" he reached for his Nin pants, tugging them down slowly. Sakura watched his movements carefully, studying his movements. She was scared to speak once she saw his eyes staring into hers again. She didn't know whether to tell him now or just wait 'till the morning.

But why wait?

"I….go take a shower before you lay in my bed! You're all bloody!" she exclaimed trying to hide her nervousness. Sasuke smirked at her and nodded going to the bathroom to take a shower. Sakura let go of the breath she never knew she was holding in, why was this so hard to tell him? She shook her head of the thought and pulled her clothes off and lied down on the bed, her back facing the opposite from the wall.

She closed her eyes, trying to think of a way to tell him. She thought about just flat out telling him but thought that was too forward and just changed her mind and thought of a new way. She really didn't care about his reaction, she just wanted to know if he was going to be there, or just leave her in the dust. She didn't know she was thinking that long until Sasuke climbed over her and laid down beside her. His raven hair was cleaned of the blood and was now damped and his chest glistened with beads of water. His eyes staring at her again made everything uncomfortable again.

"Tell me"

She froze at his blunt words. Does he already know? He couldn't have known already! It was too early! She panicked; she didn't know what to say now. "Huh?" she mentally wanted to slap herself for saying that dumbass reply. He raised an elegant eyebrow at her.

"I mean! Nothing! It's nothing Sasuke really it's just….do you love me?"

Sasuke scrunched his face up. What made her say that was unknown to him, but sighed once he realized that every time Sakura goes over Ino's house they watch those sappy chick flicks that gets them all emotional. He wanted to roll his eyes at her but decided not to anger her. He didn't want to reply either because he knew she was going to want him to go into detail so he just grabbed her hand and moved her hand to rub it against his face; a sign of affection and his answer.

"Would you…ever leave me, if I needed you the most?"

Sasuke frowned, where was all of this coming from all of a sudden? He kissed her knuckles softly, and rubbed his thumb over them. He stared Sakura straight in her eyes and saw that there were very tiny beads of tears forming on the edge of her eyes. Sasuke hated when she was upset or crying, it broke his heart to see her suffer like that. Whoever did this to her was going to pay. Painfully.

"Even if there was another person in the picture?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her. Was she cheating on him? Couldn't be, Sakura isn't like that. He gritted his teeth. Anger was always forming on his side. "What do you mean?" he said dark and menacingly. Sakura whimpered a bit and let the tears fall free, gliding down her cheeks. "Tell me now, Sakura"

"I-…I'm sorry Sasuke….for not telling you…but..."

"Just spit it out Sakura." He hissed, feeling rage boil in his system. What does she mean she's sorry? What the fuck was going on? He needed to know right here and now. He squeezed her hand, and glared at her trying to force the information out of her.

"Sasuke please don't be mad..." she whispered, and sobbed lightly.

Sasuke growled out, "Just fucking tell me"

"I'm pregnant"

Sasuke eyes widen a bit at her sentence. She's pregnant? Sakura Haruno? Pregnant? He couldn't trust his ears at that moment. He was going to be a father…He cracked a small smirk. His clan is finally going to grow. He was happy as any man would be right now. He stared at Sakura as she started sobbing louder, covering her face with the pillow. "I'll get rid of it if you don't want it! Just please don't leave me Sasuke! I'm sorr-!" She paused after feeling his hands on her stomach.

"I'm not going to leave you Sakura…"

Sakura eyes widen staring at him, and she clasped her lips on his. Kissing him tenderly and lovingly, she was glad that heavy burden was lifted off his chest and she found her answer that she wanted. Now the hard part was going to come into play. She pulled away from the kiss and smiled at him genuinely.

"I want a boy"
