parturiency (noun): the state or condition of bringing forth young Eg: Haruno Sakura


The atmosphere was light and relaxed. The upbeat strumming of a guitar and the fast beating of drums belted out a cheerful tune from speakers that were hung up all around the Hokage's roof. One could literally feel the exuberance in the softly lit air that was laced with the pleasant smell of yellow roses, placed on dining tables. The tables were strategically propped up next to the edges of the roof, overlooking the whole of the village: a breathtaking view.

Sasuke lightly twirled the wine glass in his hand, watching the social event from his perch against the railing. Yellow lanterns gave him enough light to watch his best friend being congratulated on another year of his life, while he grinned brightly all around at the people present at his birthday party. Sasuke smirked as he watched Naruto clutching the hand of the Hyuuga heiress, never letting go throughout the entire time he had been at the social gathering. Hinata had a blush on her face, glancing down at her and Naruto's entwined fingers and then at Naruto, a shy smile developing on delicate features.

Taking a sip of the tart liquid in his glass, he raked his onyx eyes through the dancing crowd on the space that had been cleared in the middle of the roof, searching for more familiar faces. A feminine laugh rang out, and tight blonde curls swished as Ino came into his view, apparently teaching Sai how to dance. The socially inept man was learning fast, dipping and twirling Ino as they moved across the dimly lit floor. He smirked again, his replacement was finally learning about emotions and feelings as he let out a genuine smile at the giggling kunoichi in his arms.

A loud sigh was emitted from a few meters away, the owner sounded slightly disgruntled. Sasuke looked over, onyx pools slightly curious. Shikamaru was facing him, but wasn't looking at the Uchiha heir, but at a blonde in front of him, who was pestering him to dance. She was pointing towards Ino and Sai who were enjoying themselves on the dance floor, gesturing wildly.

"I can't believe a socially retarded man can take his sweetheart to dance and a lazy ass genius can't!"

Sasuke let out a small grin over Temari's head, catching Shikamaru's eyes. The pineapple haired man rolled his eyes at the Uchiha when he thought Temari wasn't looking and mouthed, 'Troublesome.'

"What was that, Shikamaru?!"

Sasuke winced at the angry tone of the blonde and decided to move away for a while. With a displeased grunt that he had to relocate, he got up from his comfortable position against the railing, moving around and searching for a new albeit quiet spot. On the way, he saw TenTen and Lee chatting animatedly while pointing to Hinata and Naruto. The brunette and green-spandex wearing boy had grown closer over Neji's death, seeking comfort in each other through a mutual friendship. They weren't romantically related in any way, Sasuke concluded noticing how they maintained a respectable and decent distance from each other.

Sasuke's face slightly perked up as he found a perfect spot at the very back of the roof, where a small garden was being grown. His nose was assaulted with the flowery scents of sakura blossoms as he rounded the corner to make his way to the secluded area. He quickly discovered that he wasn't alone. His eyes softened with compassion and love as he looked at the girl who was bathed in the soft glow of lamps.

Her figure was clad in a skintight black dress, the sleeves were off shoulder and exposed her creamy neck and collarbone. It hugged her curves perfectly and ran over her very swollen stomach. Two small hands were on the bump, stroking softly as the beauty looked out to the back of the village. Shiny pink nails stood out from the matte black of her dress. Luscious, shiny rose locks fell to her hips, straight as a pin and drifting in the small beeze. Green eyes were hidden behind pink-coated eyelids. Cherry blossom petals floated down to the ground beside her, bathing her in a pink halo, making the sight even more entrancing.

Haruno Sakura was pregnant for five-months with Sasuke's child. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat at the statement.

Sakura was pregnant with his baby!

She had found out about four months ago, and Sasuke was never happier in his life than that moment. He remembered the moment in which she had confessed, unknowingly, that she was carrying his child.


Sasuke quietly opened the door to his house before shutting it silently. It was still early in the morning and he did not want to disturb Sakura, as she may still be sleeping. Muttering a quiet 'tadaima', he slipped off his shinobi flak jacket, hanging it on the coat rack and removed his shinobi sandals, placing it neatly beside Sakura's boots.

He padded quietly through the hallway, sticking his head through the kitchen door. Sakura wasn't to be seen anywhere on the first level of the manor. Closing his eyes, Sasuke detected her chakra in their bedroom. With a small smirk, Sasuke climbed the wooden staircase, taking long albeit silent strides to their room. The door was open, and he quietly entered, leaning against the doorway and watching his petite wife.

She stood in front of the body length mirror, which was as tall as her , and was at least two inches wider than her hips, which were curvaceous but rather small. She was frowning, rubbing her tummy and turning sideways and back. Sasuke frowned inwardly, scoffing as he wondered if she was checking her figure. She was at a perfectly healthy weight, and she knew that. He was brought out of his thoughts by a low murmur.

"No, not like that." the rosette mused, a thoughtful expression overcoming her face. She clasped her hands in front of her coyly, a demure expression on her face as she looked at herself in the mirror. Sasuke snorted softly at his wife's antics.

"Sasuke-kun, what if I told you another person was to join our family?" His heart stopped, thinking that she had noticed his prescence, but she was talking to the mirror. He frowned. Who was this new person she was taking about? Then it hit him.

'Oh..OH….' he thought, onyx orbs widening with surprise and disbelief.

"Nani?!" he asked surprised, blurting his words out. Sakura whirled around, scared out of her mind, but relaxed once she saw Sasuke. She broke out into a nervous grin, hands still clasped shyly in front of her.

"You're pregnant?" he inquired, walking over to his wife and placing one hand on her hip and the other on her flat, but to-be swollen belly, rubbing slighlty. She nodded and bit her lip, anxious of his reaction. Sasuke couldn't help it, his face broke out into a true, genuine smile. He lifted Sakura off of her feet with a hug, enjoying the squeal of surprise she let out. He laughed, dimples deepening as he kissed her chastely and lovingly. She sighed into the kiss.

"Arigato, Sakura."


His eyes softened at the memory, and how it was the happiest he had ever been in a long time. He let out a content sigh, walking out from between the two blooming sakura trees. Sakura did not gasp this time, apparently she noticed his chakra, she just turned around to give him a warm smile. A small blush coated her cheeks as his eyes raked over her petite form, fully taking in the dress that exposed her soft shoulder and neck, along with a small amount of cleavage. Light pink petals swayed all around her, and music floated in from the other side of the roof, which was separated from them by a concrete structure.

Ugatsuzakura trees lined the walls of the grey concrete, covering the grey with soft pink and the lanterns placed in between the trees gave Sakura a mellow glow. He smiled down at his pregnant wife as she took his free hand in one of hers. Her green eyes avoided his intense onyx ones timidly, and instead focused on their entwined fingers. A shine from between their bodies caught his eye. A gold band sparkled on a hand that lay on her swollen belly.

'Can you feel the love?~ miles away, miles away...'

Sasuke heard the lyrics that flowed out from a faraway speaker and closed his eyes at the truth of the statement. You could practically feel the love between the couple, thick and warm like a blanket covering their entire world, which consisted of only the two of them, and their unborn child. Sakura leaned her head against Sasuke's chest, breathing in his spicy, alluring scent through his white button up shirt. He nuzzled her pink locks with his aristrocratic nose and put the wine glass away. He put his hand around her waist, both slowly swaying to the distant music.

Life was never so perfect.


Fun Fact: ugatsuzakura (Autumn Cherry). Average blooming period in Tokyo: October to January and ugatsuzakura (literally "October Cherry") is one of the varieties that bloom in the autumn and winter. The flowers are small and sparse, but provide a surprising sight in combination with fall colors or snow.

Hah! So cherry blossoms CAN bloom during Naruto's birthday! Okay, if I can, I'll be posting small drabbles everyday, so make sure you follow the story guys! And, I know, I know, the titles of the chapters may not make sense at times but just deal with it for a while, k? As usual, I can't await the realease of the next Naruto chapter! *squeal* Now excuse me while I run off and read SasuSaku fics.
