I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

IT IS OWNED BY MASASHI KISHIMOTO

Fears

It was one of those rare moments that Sasuke found himself frozen. Rather captivated, amazing considering the fact that what held his attention was only six inches long. An ultrasound picture of his daughter. It wasn't like the earlier ultrasound pictures Sakura had gotten that looked just like squiggly lines, dots and dark circles.

This was an actual baby. With a perfectly formed little nose, feisty little feet, and small delicate hands.

"It looks like she has long hands and fingers." The doctor had told them, causing Sasuke to look at his own hands. His own long hands and fingers, that his daughter had apparently inherited.

He smirked, as he continued to look over the ultrasound picture. Inspecting each and every line and curve of his daughter's form. It was only when he felt a small hand rest on his shoulder that he averted his gaze.

He turned his head back to see Sakura smiling fondly at him, then looking towards the picture in his hands.

"You just can't stop looking at her can you?" Sakura asked as she came around the couch and sat next to him, cuddling close.

Sasuke set the picture down between them.

"It may be a bit easier for you to say, you get to carry her with you wherever you go." Sasuke said eyeing Sakura's stomach, an affectionate look on his face.

"I guess that's true, being able to feel her helps me know that she's doing ok." Sakura said.

"You do worry a lot." Sasuke said stroking her stomach.

"So do you though, you're just less vocal about it." Sakura countered, a light laugh flowing from mouth.

Sasuke merely shrugged his shoulders, though a smirk soon spread across his face.

He paused when he saw Sakura wince, her pain seemed to grow for a moment before falling back down again.

He watched as she took a deep breath and rubbed her stomach up and down.

Sasuke gently took her hand in his and rubbed it.

"Are you alright?"

Sakura nodded, smiling at him reassuringly.

"They're just Braxton Hicks, they're normal since she's coming in about a week."

Sasuke nodded, though Sakura could still see hints of worry lining many crevices on Sasuke's face.

She took his hand in her own, and ran her thumb along the top of his hand.

"It's alright Sasuke, you won't lose her." Sakura reassured him, knowing full well the pain Sasuke still felt about the loss of his family.

Sasuke merely looked Sakura in the eye and prayed that her words would ring true.
