'If only I could've kept you inside me.'
Sakura lay down on her bathroom floor with her door closed to muffle the cries. She was all cried out and she didn't need to hear Obito crying in the other room. She named it that, after Sasuke's late uncle. It's not like Sasuke had a say in it, seeing as he was dead and all. She couldn't blame Naruto; it wasn't his fault Sasuke lost his mind. Sakura scrunched her eyes up as she felt the unshed tears sting her eyes. But she would cry anymore she was all cried out. Naruto said he was sorry, too many times to count. The towns' people drove him out crying. Sakura felt the tears fall sideways one crossing the bridge of her nose before it hit the tiles.
"Stupid people" Sakura managed to choke out. They'd never understand, but then she cried harder remembering she was one of her. She stopped crying when she realized Obito stopped crying too. She picked herself up off the floor and wiped her eyes as she went in to the kitchen to go check on the baby. She stared down his crib. He had a head full of blue black hair and His obsidian-black eyes stared at her. More like glaring. His pink lips were open and he didn't make a sound. Sakura felt the color drain from her face as she stared at him. He looked just like him. He looked just at her and he didn't make a sound. She walked backward from the crib. She couldn't stand the sight of him anymore.
'If only you were inside me.'
"Sasuke" She whispered. If only he were here. The he could save her. It was only one night. It was her first, and that's all her body needed. She was overjoyed to be the one to help Sasuke restore his clan. But somewhere between conceiving and giving birth something happened to Sasuke. It had always been there. It was a look in his eye that made his black eyes blacker. It was an emotion that hasn't even been invented yet, but it was some where along the lines of hate and yearning. Then after he killed Itachi it just seemed to grow and manifest his entire body and spirit. If only Sakura could have kept him, kept him closer.
'If only you were inside me.'
Sakura cried as she walked backwards whispering some one's name over and over. She jumped when she felt two strong big hands grip her shoulders. Sakura jumped and grabbed her kunai then spun around and thrust in to the stomach of whoever it was who dared disturb her cries for help. She looked up and gasped as she stared in to those familiar blue eyes.
"Naruto." Sakura voice quivered as she whispered his name. She can feel those old tears rise up from within her again. "I'm sorry."
"Its okay" He flashed her sad smile before going to check on Obito. His smile turned into a worried frown. "What's wrong with Obito?"
She shrugged even though he wasn't looking, "I don't know. He just stopped crying and he kept staring."
Naruto pick the baby up with utter gentleness and began to pick him on the back. Sakura watched as if in some kind of secret trance. "I want you to keep him." Sakura couldn't stand that baby. Not with looking like who he did.
Naruto laughed as he danced around with the baby who was burping and giggling, "I think you should go over to Ino's house for a couple of days."
"I'm serious. You should keep him." Sakura was feeling a bit better now. "After all you love him more then I ever could."
Naruto stopped dancing at Sakura's double meaning. Obito seemed made about that and began to pull Naruto's gold locks. Naruto walked up to Sakura and kissed her on the forehead. "You'll be fine. You're a strong woman. You always were."
Sakura smiled as Naruto dance with the baby in to the kitchen. He didn't deny what she said. "I'm gonna make some ramen and cheerios. Not together of course…Do you want anything?"
She shook her head, "No, I'm all right."
'If only I had a little bit of you in me. Then I could be stronger.'
You Naruto were always the strong one.
A/N: So much angst…I got to stop reading riding in cars with boys but it's so good.
