Some people wish they own Naruto...and I'm one of them :)
Sakura awoke to warmth against her closed eyes. She could feel a bright light, beckoning her to open her eyelids. Slowly, ever so slowly, did she open them. She could feel the grains of sand in the corner of her eyes and she tried to brush them away. She felt a tug on her arm after the grains were gone to notice a wire going into her arm.
Her surroundings became clearer as she concentrated harder.
A beeping sound…two beeping sounds? White walls, ceiling, and bed? Sakura groaned as the realization hit her, as well as a growing pain.
How the hell did I end up in the hospital? Wasn't I trying to run away? Sakura's memories started to resurface, finally coming to the assumption that she fainted.
How long have I been in here? Sakura could feel her tears building as she rubbed her stomach gently to realize that they're was bandages below her hospital gown. She quickly lifted the gown with numb fingers praying her baby was alive. She could feel a small bump, but wasn't sure whether her child was still alive.
She looked around the room to see if she could find a medical chart, and luckily, someone had left it on the night stand by her.
Haruno, Sakura
Age: 24
Medication types: oxycodone/opiod
Time: 4 days (May 30-June 3)
Patient is pregnant. Severe trauma below the costal region as well as several cuts on both left and right arms. Several bruises found along upper back and cervical region. Patient is stable, as well as the fetus.
Sakura breathed in a sigh of relief, happy her baby wasn't hurt. Suddenly she heard a gasp by the door, and a nurse had walked in, shocked. Sakura was looking at her strangely; it wasn't an abnormal thing for her to be awake…was it?
The nurse left the room as quickly as she had come leaving Sakura to her own thoughts.
What do I do now? Sakura thought morosely closing her eyes. It's not like Sasuke cares about me. If he does it's probably just about the baby. After all, that was his goal even at a young age. I guess I would just be considered his baby machine.
She heard the door to her room burst open, too tired to open her eyes again at the noise.
"I thought you said she was awake Maja!" It was Tsunade's voice.
She must be yelling at that nurse who came in here earlier.
"You idiot! Don't come get us like that unless you're sure!"
That sounds like Sasuke Sakura felt tears prickle the corners of her eyes hoping it wouldn't give her away. It was too late though. The heart monitor picked up a few 'beeps' due to her increased heart rate at Sasuke's voice.
She could feel their eyes on her.
Oh please let me look believable for sleeping Sakura prayed hard trying to control her heartbeat.
"Sakura…love?" Sasuke whispered. Sakura could feel the heart monitor pick up again at his voice.
God damnit Sasuke! I love you so much, that my heart beats out of control just to the sound of your voice. Why do you sound so caring towards me? Don't you hate me?
"Sakura…it's me love…its Sasuke." Sakura could feel his breath on her cheek and his unusually warm hand, encase hers'.
Oh no! Tears started to escape her closed eyes silently.
"No, no baby its ok…" Sasuke gently brushed strands of hair out of her face and the tears off of her cheeks. "It's ok…please don't cry…please" Sasuke's voice broke at the end, almost strained.
He sounds so hurt…does he really care about me…or is it just about the baby?
"Sasuke, what she told me back at the apartment…she thinks you hate her. She thinks you hate her because she was pregnant on a mission and she didn't tell you. She doesn't want you to think she tried to put your child in danger on purpose…" Tsunade's voice was soft then, almost distant.
Please Sasuke, don't hate me. Sakura was about to break then, about to yell out and cry at the entire situation.
"God damnit Sakura, whatever those men said to you, it isn't true. I love you! I will always love you and I will never stop loving you. A baby doesn't change that. I know that you put a seal on your stomach for the baby! I know tried to protect it! I want to have this baby with you more than anything, but my love for your will never be out weighted. You are not some baby machine to me! God damnit, Please believe me…please."
Sakura could feel Sasuke's head on her shoulder and something wet touch her neck.
H-he's crying…he's crying for me…he really does love me…he really does.
Sakura was about to leap out of the bed and tackle her Sasuke to the floor, but the pain below her ribs intensified by 10 causing her to convulse, startling Sasuke.
She gasped loudly at the pain, the beeping intensified, and she could no longer feel Sasuke near her. She squeezed her eyes shut at the pain.
"Get out of the way! Bring the nurses in here Maja!" Tsunade's voice was loud and commanding; it was hurting her ears which wasn't helping the pain.
"Sakura!" Sasuke was yelling out her name, whom was being held back by Kakashi and Naruto who were stopping him from getting in the nurses way.
Please Sasuke, don't leave me!
"Sakura!" Sasuke was trying to get close to his Sakura again, but is proving difficult due to Kakashi and Naruto.
"Sasuke…" Sakura breathed out opening her eyes a crack to see Sasuke's strained face. Their eyes connected, before everything went black.
