Whoo! 2 chapters in one day! This is the SasuSaku chapter. I'll take a poll and figure out which guy she'll end with. Enjoy!
Don't own Naruto:(
"I.. Uh.. You look really nice tonight.." Sasuke says from behind his mask.
"Thanks! I really love this dress. And you don't look so bad yourself, Hades." I joke as I hook arms with him. "But Sakura! It's no fair, yeah! Why do you get to match the emotionless prick for Halloween?!" Deidara whines as we all walk into the fair grounds. Something came up with my 50s dress so I had a last minute pick of clothes and it happened to be a greek goddess costume, which happened to be matching the one Sasuke picked out. It matched his sense of style most.. Dark and depressed.
"Oh shush and have fun." I say, looking around excited to be out of that house and going to a carnival.
"Tonight was so fun!" I say, spinning around excited as I eat more of my cotton candy, licking the bits melted on my fingers.
"Maybe for you, but I'm starved, yeah."
"Me too."
"Fuck yeah, I'm dying here!"
"You all are no fun! Always so hungry." I skip towards the door of the house and turn around as the others walk towards the forest again.
"I'm not going tonight." Konan says as Pein and Sasori exchange words about some new mission, both nod and walk past me.
"Yeah. I'm going to stay too." Sasuke says, following me as I walk through the now open door.
"I feel like dancing! Sasuke, dance with me!" I say feeling slightly tipsy from the drinks I had earlier. I spin towards him and he reacts quickly, grabbing my right hand and putting his other hand on my waist. He pulls me flush against him causing me to laugh after a pause. He begins twirling me around the entry hall and actually smiling at me. It's not creepy like I expected but a slight upturn of his perfectly molded lips.
"Did you at least have fun tonight?" I ask, laughing a little as we slowly stop spinning.
"As long as you're with me, nothing will be boring." I smile at him and kiss his cheek. He looks at me with an odd gleam in his eyes before lightly picking me up and moving towards the stairs.
"And where do you think you're going with me?" I ask, but don't even attempt to get away. Maybe I should but I can't seem to bring myself to do so. Before I know it I'm set down on my bed, but I sit up and move onto the edge closer to him.
"I.." He begins slowly until I reach for his neck and bring him down to me.
"Now why would you want to talk during this?" I tease before nipping at his neck as he grips my waist tighter, pulling me flush against his bent form.
"Can I.." He starts to ask before groaning at my neck nips. He finally gives in and slowly sinks his teeth into my shoulder, earning a small moan from me.
"S-Sasuke-" I begin before his mouth is suddenly on mine, his hands slowly working my dress off leaving me in my strapless bra and pink lacy underwear. I look at him expectantly signaling for him to remove some too.
"It's not a free show.." I murmur against his cheek, he almost stumbles but regains his composure and slips off his shirt and pants. I laugh at him a little as his underwear are almost completely tented. My face turns slightly red as I realize the hunger in his eyes as he looks over my figure. I find myself losing some of my confidence with how good he looks almost completely naked..
I go to start speaking but he is on me faster than I anticipated. He brings my body back further on the bed before flipping us over so that I was on top, my legs on either side of his hips. My face went a little pink at the feeling of him and I being only thin pieces of clothing away. That doesn't last long as his hands slip under the side band of my underwear, urging them to come off but growing impatient and just tearing the fabric instead. Before I can react to that my bra is discarded and thrown elsewhere. I go to cover up my chest with my arms but get my wrists pulled away from my body and a scowl adorning his face.
"Don't ever cover your beauty." He almost growls out at me before pulling me down to him, my bare chest on his.
"I'm sorry..." I mutter before feeling his lips on mine and his hands release mine to roam over my skin. He starts at my waist and ventures down my sides and my hips before coming back up to my chest and lightly caressing my skin. I release a small breath as his hands graze over the most sensitive part of my breast, it's not uncomfortable so I let him continue. He brings his mouth down to my neck again before going lower and kissing down to the space in between my breasts and coming back up to the top of my right breast. He pauses before sinking his teeth into it earning almost a mewl from me as I buck my hips into his. He groans and tosses his head back before bringing my head down to his.
"I need you Sakura..." He says as I feel him pulsating against my thigh through his boxers. My face heats up before I decide to take over and back away from him, drawing his boxers down his legs before helping him out of them and crawling back up to hover over his body. I smirk some as the impatience is settling in his eyes, I bend down and slowly leave a trail of kisses down his front until I'm right above his impressive.. package. I start to trail my hands lightly along the shaft before leaning down and licking lightly causing him to groan loudly. I continue with my ministrations and start to go faster, bobbing my head and trying to take in as much as my mouth will allow. The noises I elicit from him cause my smirk to grown as I add my hand to the part I can't get to with my mouth.
"Fuck. Sakura-" I can see the anticipation in his eyes as I begin to move up and lower my body down onto his.
I hear him groan as I position him and finally allow him to enter me in the most intimate way, I don't move at first to allow me time to adjust to his size.
I finally allow some movement earning moans from the man beneath me, I act as though I'm going to keep with the slow movements until suddenly my back hits the cold wall.
"S-Sa-"
"Were you trying to tease me Sa-ku-ra?" He breathes out huskily against my ear causing slight shivers to run down my spine as his hot breath hits my cold skin.
"Maybe I was." I challenge back, my legs are wrapped around his waist and my arms are entangled in his hair. He growls into my neck before finding his way back to my core and sheathing himself inside me once again. I moan out loudly before biting into his shoulder harshly, he starts thrusting harder and harder with every pump.
"Ahn! S-Sasuke!" I almost scream out before his mouth covers mine. His perfectly carved lips move against mine in an almost rough way before my back is against the bed again. I let my hands drag down his back as he quickens his pace even more, coming close along with me as I feel the hotness dwelling and begging to be let out of my core.
"Sasuke! Yes! I-" I begin to say into his neck before feeling everything finally crash and the both of us shiver as the waves finish rolling over us. He basically collapses beside me, pulling my body to him immediately and resting his chin on my head.
"I love you Sakura Haruno." He says motionless for a second, if I didn't know any better I'd think he was uninterested, but I could feel his breath differ from his usual bored breathing patterns and the way he almost stumbled over his words.
"I... I love you too Sasuke.." I say as he turns towards me, kissing my forehead before pulling me up to be eye level with him.
"I don't want to share anymore."
"Okay." I say quietly before he kisses my neck lightly. I quickly tense as I feel one of his teeth scrape against my neck, he drags it along from my shoulder to my neck only pausing by where he bit earlier.
"What if I wanted to turn you?" He asks warily before licking the area.
"I.. I don't think I would be opposed.." I mumble out, somewhat scared of what it would mean for me.
"Would you let me?"
I hesitate for a minute, actually thinking it through. I would have to live off something that's in very short supply, praying on animals to keep myself sedated from ripping someone's neck open at the site. I would also freeze in time, never aging just staying the same..
"Yes."
My vision in that scene blurs as I skip to a different image, my head starting to hurt.
"S-Sasuke.. I uhm.. Yes.. Yes, I'll marry you!" I smile as my eyes begin to water at the man on one knee in front of me. He stands up and hugs me tightly to him before slipping a small silver ring with a light diamond surrounded by black and red ones onto my finger. "Aww! You are soo cute together!" Konan squeals from the doorway of the house. I quickly wipe the tears away and smile brightly.
What's funny is I used to dream about this, about Sasuke kneeling and asking me to spend the rest of our lives together. Of course the constant rejection should have dampened that dream but hey being twelve and thinking you're in love can really lock your dreams in place. Then he disappeared and I lost all hope that that would happen in this lifetime, but now I'm looking at the ring adorning my left hand.
"I love it!" "I love you, Sakura. And never forget that." He says before kissing me lightly.
"Your dress is so beautiful, I can't stand it!" Temari squeals, looking down at my light cream colored dress that has Sakura blossoms stitched into the long train. I'm stepping into my shoes as the door is slammed open by an enraged blonde.
"Sakura, tweedle dum and tweedle dee here, decided it was a good idea to sneak into the girls bathroom." Ino says, holding Deidara and Hidan by their ears. It's actually a really funny sight to see two dangerous vampires being help like bad children by my best friend.
"Guys, come on now. Do you really have to ruin this day for me.." I say, turning towards the two and almost pouting. They both just stare at me with open mouths.
"Why does he get to have you?! That emotional prick doesn't deserve you!! You're way too good for him!" "You look like a fucking angel!!" Hidan curses and Deidara.. Didn't say 'yeah'.
"T..Thanks guys but this is my wedding day and I'm already on edge enough." I say, glancing out the window. There are tiny blue birds flying around the trees and squirrels hopping everywhere. Like a fairy tale.. I wish.
"Hate to interrupt but uh.. It's time.." Sasori says as he suddenly walks in and avoids looking at me. "Thanks." I say simply as I take a deep breath. Ino walks next to me and holds my hand along with Konan.
I glance at their dresses, Ino in a light purple gown that reaches the floor but has a slit up the side, Konan has on a dark purple dress that blooms out about mid calf, Temari has on a pale green gown that looks like Ino's, TenTen is wearing a darker cream colored dress matching Ino and Temari's. Tsunade is waiting at the door for me in her yellow top and green bottomed dress, complete mother of the bride look. Sasuke's mother is actually here as well, but she's with him helping him out.
"You can do this." I say to myself as I clutch their hands tightly and smile at the others.
"Unless you don't want to and then you can run away. And hopefully find Naruto..?" Ino adds before smiling at me and rubbing a manicured finger over my knuckles... Find Naruto..
After I disappeared he went crazy trying to find me and then once he heard I was with Sasuke heading back to Konoha.. He just.. Left, no one knows to where but he just left.. I still don't know if this is right but I'll probably never be able to find him even if I did change my mind..
"Thanks, but I'm here and he's here and we're all dolled up, so why quit now?" I say before walking towards the door leading outside to the reception. I take Tsunade's arm and start my slow walk to wanted captivity.
"So Mrs. Sakura Uchiha, are you ready for your honeymoon?" Sasuke asks causing me to giggle as he picks me up and walks towards a small house. It's made of brick and is slightly covered in vines along one side. There are pink flowers surrounding the door with black tinges around the edges. He carries me into a dark living room before turning the lights on quickly. There are a few pieces of furniture spread throughout the small room that are slightly dusty.
"What is this place?" I ask as we pass through a tiny hallway to another room.
"One of the houses I had built for us." He says as we enter another room. This one is an odd blue color with a giant king sized bed with dark blue satin sheets adorned with the Uchiha family crest. He sets me down gently as I kick off my shoes and throw my vail onto the floor.
"Well? What are you waiting for?"
"You look.. Like an angel.." He says before I reach up and pull him down to me just like that first night..
"What are you going to tell him? Aren't you supposed to be going on some trip soon? I mean what about-"
"I know!" I snap irritably at my blonde headed friend as we sit at the quiet cafe on the edge of town.
"Sorry.. I know I need to figure all of this out but what am I supposed to do? It's not exactly like I've gone through any of this before.." I say giving her an apologetic look before glancing down at my stomach.
"I don't know, Saku, but you really need to tell him soon. We both know you are going to start showing soon and with how.. Active.. you are as a couple he will start noticing and that'll be an even worse way to find out." She says before sipping more of her hot tea and glancing at the old couple sitting near the window.
I picked the booth farthest from the door in the hopes of keeping this talk private. The older owner of this little cafe is too busy flirting with the young barista he hired to help with keeping up with the shop, so we won't have to worry about him or her as she's too busy trying to avoid his wandering stares and useless pickup lines.
"Ino... You've always been the one to do things first. The blooming cosmos while I was still a bud. The prettiest girl in town while I was stuttering through maturity. You got Kiba before I even thought about Naruto in any other way than an annoying teammate. I'll never admit it again but I tend to follow your suit with some things but now I have no comparison... How do I tell someone- Ow! Hey!" I ramble on before she kicks my shin, almost causing me to spill my drink.
"Sakura Haruno... Er.. Uchiha. You know perfectly well you've always been ahead. That big forehead you had as a kid made you smarter than me in anything, granted I may have looked way more fashionable... But you always aced every test and have known every thing there is to know about nursing and hell, anything I've ever wondered about you've had the answer to! You are so much smarter than you let yourself believe. You have this habit of putting yourself down for things like this, you think you don't know but you do. Plus it's only a few words and then you'll be able to celebrate and tell everyone... Hopefully soon so I can throw you a party and buy clothes and everything an auntie would do." She says winking at me, if I didn't have my stubborn pride I would've let the tears well up at her mini speech. I smile softly before grabbing her left hand with my right.
"I can't wait for your aunt skills." I say laughing before hearing the door chime ring as Temari walks in, searching the room for us. I quickly raise my free hand and wave her over, causing her to grin and make her way through the various tables and chairs before taking a seat next to me in the booth.
"Sooo what's the big commotion I had to leave Suna for?" She says as she grabs one of the biscuits from the table and starts tearing small pieces off and eating them. She looks at me expectantly before Ino blows my cover.
"You'll have to leave in 6 months again." She says, nodding at my stomach and causing Temari to look at me wide eyed. Her dark green eyes light up as she realizes exactly what that means.
"You mean-!"
"Shh!" I quickly try to hush her as she pulls me into a tight hug.
"Oh.. Yeah sorry. So you're already 3 months in? That's great! Who all knows?" She asks looking between Ino and I.
"Well you're looking at her." Ino says giving me a stubborn look.
"What..? Sasuke doesn't even know yet? What about Tsunade?" She asks as I rub the back of my neck nervously.
"Not exactly..."
"What? Why not?"
"I don't know how to say it... I'm excited trust me but I don't know how to tell anyone else... Sasuke was planning on us taking this vacation of sorts and just travel around for a little while and Tsunade has been trying to force me out of the hospital and to take some time off. I haven't even seen the woman in about a month, plus I've been so tired recently..." I say, letting out a quiet yawn.
"Well that tends to happen when you're physically making another person as we speak." Ino says sarcastically before taking a biscuit of her own.
"Well I figure you can tell Tsunade first then head home to your hubby and tell him. They're both going to be ecstatic! I know I am! That kid is going to have the best godparents!" Temari says as she smiles brightly at me.
"See, it won't be that bad. And if anyone says anything negative you have us to beat some ass." She adds before smirking at Ino who returns the look before grinning at me.
"Well seeing as how I'm feeling a little better by just telling Tsunade first hopefully that'll get me over the nervousness of telling Sasuke.." I say before Ino starts talking with Temari about plans for later on tonight. Currently Ino is trying to get Temari set up with Shikamaru.. Little does she know they are already seeing each other secretly.
"Hey I think I'm going to go ahead and go see Tsunade, I'll see you two later." I say hugging Temari and Ino before tossing a few dollars on the table and walking towards the door.
Honestly I needed to get some air to get rid of this nausea that hit a few minutes ago. Not that it really helps but I'd rather duck into an ally to puke compared to running through the cafe to the bathroom and causing a scene.
Soo I guess to the hospital it is..
I make my way through the few people scattered along the sidewalk before turning down a couple more streets, nodding to people who say hello and politely greeting them back. I finally find myself at the hospital's entrance.
Well here goes...
I make it to her office fairly unnoticed due to the shift change around this time so it's pretty vacant for now thankfully.
I knock quietly on the door before hearing an approving noise so I push the door open and close it quietly behind me.
"Now what are you doing here today? It's your day off-"
"I'm 3 months pregnant and I haven't told Sasuke yet." I blurt out as I throw myself into one of the comfy chairs in the corner by her desk. She looks at me with different expressions. Shock, enthusiasm, angry mom, happy mom, and finally joy.
"Are you really! I haven't seen you much recently but one look and you glow! Oh Sakura this is amazing! Granted I wish it wasn't with that assprick but hey beggars can't be choosers. This is so great!" She rambles on before standing up and walking over to one of her cabinets by the closet in the room and pulling out a picture. She brings it to me and hands it to me gently.
It's a picture of when I was really little and she would come take me out for lunch on the weekends.
"I didn't think these ever became of anything after the picture was taken.. I never saw them after that." I say as I smile sadly at the old thing. I was in a white summer dress with little sandals on and that same red ribbon in my hair. Tsunade still looks the same though. Twenty years does nothing to her looks...
"Well now I can actually be a grandmother." She says happily before remembering something..
"How does he not know?! Have you known long?! Why wouldn't you tell him?! He needs to-"
"I'm getting to telling him! I just haven't exactly thought of how." I say trying to stop the load of questions pouring in my direction.
"Well go! He should be home so go and tell him now! You're not allowed back here until he knows and I will find out if he hasn't been told." She says as she gets me up and ushers me to the door before hugging me tightly and pushing me out.
"I'm so happy for you, Sakura. Honestly I can't wait." She says happily before ordering me to my house where I know Sasuke should be getting home. I guess a nice thing for him is being in a clan like his kind of set him up for the rest of his life along with joining the Akatsuki for that long period of time has racked up enough money so now he just has hobbies. I don't know what they consist of but it keeps him from being a dick so whatever really.
I start my slow walk to our house that just so happens to be only a few minutes walk from the hospital, just because once I was back I picked up a lot more at the hospital and it was easier than running half way across town every time there was an overload of people and they needed help.
I see the brick path the leads through a front yard to a porch and a pretty nice sized house. There's a fence around the front of the yard and a large gate that's generally always open just because there's not a big need to close it around here..
The grass is a vibrant green and a few flowers are still up and blooming before the fall that's coming.
"Sakura." I hear from behind me as I stopped halfway from stepping into the yard. I jump slightly as I feel arms loop around my waist and pull me into a body.
"S-Sasuke!" I fumble over the words as my nervousness creeps up and fogs my brain.
"You're awfully jumpy today." He remarks before walking with me through the gate and to the porch, his arm looped around my waist the whole way.
I stop in front of the porch before we step up. I better get it over with now or I never will.
"S-Sasuke.." I mumble out as I look to the ground beside an oddly shaped rock, trying to pretend I'm talking to it and not my husband.
"Hn." He responds in his oh so Uchiha way before stepping in front of me, taking my attention away from the rock and solely placing it on him.
"I need to tell you.." I begin before losing my thought process.
"I need to.. I'm.. I.." I fumble even more before starting to get dizzy and reaching out for the rail only to miss and be caught by the man in front of me. He hooks his arms under my legs and picks me up before walking into the house and setting me down on the couch, hurriedly getting me water and sitting in front of me staring intently at me trying to figure it all out.
"Sakura.." He says with a worried tone as I look away and try to focus on anything else only to come back to him.
"I... We.. My.." I start before feeling my phone buzz causing Sasuke to reach into my pocket and look at it. He looks at it almost confused, or as confused as an Uchiha can look before turning his attention to me.
"What am I supposed to know by now, Sakura?" He says before I sigh heavily and fall back so I'm looking at the ceiling.
"I'm kind of sort of... pregnant." I manage out as I wait for some sort of weird reaction. What reaction I do get is completely different.
I let out a surprised squeak as he pulls my waist towards his kneeling form in front of the couch. His head is resting on my abdomen and his eyes are closed.
"I'm so grateful you are going to be the mother of our children." He says almost quietly as I'm still in shock.
"I..."
"Thank you for giving me this honor." He breathes out before pulling my body to his completely, wrapping his arms around mine and resting his head in the crook of my neck.
"Thank you." He says finally.
"Just use your healing power to dub the paaain!!" Tsunade screams as I grab her hand and squeeze it beyond tight.
"I didn't do this to you! Squeeze him to death!" She adds before pulling Sasuke towards the bedside and handing my death grip to him. His face is stoic and he barely flinches until my nails dig into his skin and he hisses.
"I just want the demon out!" I scream as the pain in my abdomen increases. It feels like someone is bawling up my ovaries and using them as a punching bag but punching with a knife.I scream and throw my head back as another wave begins. I can't use my healing power on myself in this situation because it could cause birth defects. I tried to prepare for this but hey I can only do so much.
"Just push, Sakura!" Tsunade yells as I try to push the pain away and push the damned child out of me.
"Why the hell does this hurt so bad?!!" I seethe out as I finally push as hard as I can. I see white behind my eyes until I hear crying. There are a few minutes before Tsunade appears next to me.
"Now was that so hard?" Tsunade says, holding a tiny bundle.
"Incredibly." I say, still completely breathless. I catch my breath and calm down before I'm finally handed my dark haired son who's stopped crying and now is playing with my pinky. His skin is like his fathers and his eyes are a light green.
"Sebastian.." I sigh out as I look at the stunned man next to me.
"He's perfect.. Completely perfect.." He says quietly as he is frozen in place. This probably is a big thing for him, he's getting a family he's probably wanted since his was murdered. Of course I can never bring back his clan but I can help restore it a little. His mother, Mikoto, has tried to be here as much as possible for Sasuke since we returned but she doesn't seem to exactly know how. Right now she is sitting patiently in one of the chairs brought into the room, she's trying to see through the crowd of my friends and husband but isn't walking up..
"Would you like to see?" I call out to her, she gives me an alarmed look before nodding and walking slowly to the bed. Everyone moves so she has a clear path to the bedside.
"He's just like his father when he was born." She says quietly, hesitantly reaching for his little hand. The tiny boy in my arms reacts and allows her to touch his hand briefly before she retracts her hand and smiles at me as well as her son.
"Eeeii!! Sakura!!!" Ino screeches before running into the room with Kiba in tow.
"Ino-pig, quiet!" I quietly yell as the bundle in my arms starts to squirm with wide eyes at the woman rushing for me. Even if he can't see too much right now he can register something rushing at him.
"He's so cute! I'm gonna die!" She says before Temari hits her shoulder, successfully shutting the blond woman up.
"Sebastian is still breathtaking." Temari says as she plays with his little hands.
"He's a perfect little angel." Tsunade adds, watching him.
"You are just the cutest little bug I've ever seen." Ino cries as she looks at my son.
"He has looks just like his mother, thank goodness.." Konan says from beside me. I laugh a little and walk towards the group of women ogling at my son and of course, he's lapping up the attention from everyone.
"It's been a year and he's still on the top of the cute radar. I want one!" Ino whines as she looks at Kiba who's talking with Sasuke. Kiba just turns wide eyed before rubbing his neck nervously and starting to walk out with Sasuke. Sasuke is able to hide his.. Secret.. Around everyone, so they all think that he was just on a really long soul searching trip.. And I.. Well that night I said yes, he bit me but I have a lot more control over it and am not as affected by random things like the sun or the smell given off by people. I've always had good chakra control so I guess my body adjusted to the bite like it did with chakra? I smile at my beautiful child and then at my retreating husband who has the same look as me, but he's looking at me instead. This has truly got to be the greatest feeling in the world.. Right?
"So did you hear about Termari? They're having a girl finally!" I say excitedly as I hold Sebastian and walk over to the kitchen counter to grab a couple of baby carrots for him to nibble on.
"I heard.. Shikamaru must be excited for once.." Sasuke says from his spot in his favorite chair in the kitchen.
"Maybe Sebastian here will have a girl friend someday." I tease before having a carrot shoved down my shirt very harshly for a three and a half year old, all of this causing my husband to just chuckle at me.
"Or he'll be the dark brooding type like his father was." I say flatly before setting my son down so he can run and play with his train set littered along the floor.
"I wasn't that brooding.." Sasuke grumbles from his seat as he picks up a tomato and bites into it. Somehow this man manages to eat a whole tomato without dropping any of it...
"You were like the family dog when the family decided to get a cat." I say flatly before opening the fridge and pulling out some orange juice to pour into a glass.
"All silent treatments all the time." I say before putting the juice back and walking to the table, avoiding children's toys scattered by our feet. I look around curiously for my son who is now walking over to his play bin in the living room and grabbing his play sword.
Oh no..
"Watch out dear... He's got his sword out again.." I say warily, eyeing the small boy as he almost stalks his father with his sword behind his back. His dark hair is messily strewn around, we keep it short but he looks like his father's hair when he was a child. He looks like a mini Sasuke with my green eyes, which isn't a bad thing. No debating on the parents of him, so no stupid rumors around town, thankfully.
"I kill!" Sebastian suddenly yells before stabbing Sasuke in the leg. I give them both an odd look as Sasuke decides to play along.
"Oh I've been wounded." He says, trying to have any tone other than unamused to please our son.
"Oh yeah you really killed daddy, oh no! I'm going to get you!" I say before lunging for Sebastian and lifting him into my arms. I swing him around the room before hugging him to me and laughing lightly with his tiny giggles.
"I'm very dead right now thank you both for caring." Sasuke says from his chair where he's finished his tomato. I laugh shortly before there is a knock at the front door. That's odd.
"It's a girl!" "Even though I swore I'd never go through this again.. I'm happy Sebastian will have a sister to beat him up.." I say as I hold onto Sasuke's hand while we watch the ultra sound show images of what's growing inside me.
"How am I this lucky?" Sasuke suddenly says as he kisses my hand. I'm kind of in shock at his response but go with it anyways.
"You two must be the most amazing parents.." The nurse says, watching us with a smile.
"It's fruitless to not try." I say before releasing my husband's hand and pulling my shirt down after the nurse has finished. Once we leave the room Sasuke offers to take me somewhere to eat, obviously I accept and follow him.
"Are you ready for another child?" I ask quietly, watching people walk by around us as we make our way down the sidewalk.
"Yes, I'm wondering when she will be born." He says as I grab his arm and walk in stride next to him.
"Well they say I'm about 4 months in." I mumble a bit to myself before I'm pulled into a tiny sushi shop. One of my favorite ones around Konoha. Although I can't have sushi since I'm pregnant, the shop still sells the best stir fry around.
"Funny.. I keep trying to remember when we-"
"Sasuke! That isn't exactly public material." I say slapping his arm, earning a scoff but he leaves his previous thought alone and goes on to order for us both, having known what I like.
Thank god he left well enough alone..
"Fucking never again! Never!" I scream as I finally over come the pain of another child. Her cries help my nerves calm down and I start to regain my breath faster than last time.
"She's beautiful.."
"Like an angel.."
"Emily.." I say quietly as I'm handed my daughter. They weren't lying, she's absolutely stunning. She looks up at me and Sasuke and her cries stop suddenly as she stares, wide eyed. Her eyes are the prettiest shade of bluish green and her skin is the perfect creamy white color. Her hair is a light light pink, lighter than mine. She is the very meaning of beauty...
She looks like..
"Sebastian! Get your sister for breakfast!!" I yell as I set the table with breakfast and juice.
"How did I get the perfect life?" Sasuke says, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek. I lean into it, allowing him to kiss my lips briefly. Things have gotten better after Emily was finally born and Sasuke stopped taking on as many missions. For a while I was left alone while he was gone for months at a time. There was a time that I would've left and taken Sebastian with me but I persevered and Sasuke and I worked it out.
"Eww! Momm!! I don't want to see that.. My eyes are scarred for life now!" Sebastian whines from the doorway as he pretends to fall to the floor. He makes dying sounds before smelling the food and jumping up, running past us. Emily yawns and slowly walks to the table.
"I'm soo sorry, Bastian. I didn't realize! I guess you won't be that hungry than?" I say as I move to take his plate before he can even reach the food.
"Noo!!! Mom! Please!" I laugh and set his plate back down.
"Okay, okay.. Here you go. Now don't eat it all in one bite." I say as I step back and pick Emily up.
"What happened to your dress, Em?" I look at her white and pink nightgown that has a tear in the side.
"Ughh.. Kein ripped it yesterday when Allie and I were playing." She says rolling her eyes. Her tiny adorable eyes. Kein is Ino and Kiba's boy, he's super cute but is a rowdy kid. I honestly think Emily and him will end up together if I had to put money on it.
"I should've known. Well I'll stitch it up after breakfast and then how about we go buy a brand new one?" I ask as I set her back down by the table.
"Can I pick it out?!" She says as Sasuke shakes his head and chuckles a little.
"After you eat." I say as I place a few things on her plate.
"Go Bastian!" I cheer for my son who's currently sparring with Sarine Nara, Temari and Shikamaru's daughter. He pauses for a second before getting pounced on for his lack of attention. I laugh slightly as he groans and almost throws the blonde girl off of him.
"Mom! I almost won!"
"Oh yeah sure just like the last time?" Sarine jokes before punching his shoulder, her dark eyes watching him with a glint in them. His face ever so slightly turns pink as he rubs his neck and looks to the side.
"I just came by to bring you lunch. Sarine, you look great! So pretty just like your mother." I say, earning a polite thank you and a nod.
"Anyways... Anyone hungry? I just dropped off Emily at the academy so I figured why not visit my son for a bit?" I add before handing him a basket of random food I cooked earlier in the day.
"Mom! No way! Ramen?!" He says causing me to smile but lose it quickly. Naruto.. Miss Uchiha, are you okay?" I hear faint voices speaking to me, but I'm too emerged in memories of Naruto rushing from training to go to Ichibads for ramen. I nod my head and look back with a sad smile, my long hair blowing around me with the slight pick up in wind.
"Yes everything is fine, thank you. I hope you both enjoy.. Don't forget Emily needs you to pick her up after school, Sebastian. Here's some money for you to pick up any fruits or vegetables you'd like from the stands around town. Don't be out too late though." I say handing him money before saying a quick goodbye to Sarine and starting back on my path out of the training fields.
"Thanks mom! I love you!" He calls after me, he tends to know when to say the right thing to help me. I smile lightly and pick my head up and continue walking towards the spot I visit every day.
The sun beats down on my bare shoulders that my short sleeved top only partially covers, along with my white capris. My sandals are slightly dirty from the dry weather we've been having, causing a lot of dust. I sigh before waving at TenTen, she's in front of her weapons store with her son Tanji. They both wave back with bright smiles before Neji steps out waving as well as I walk along the sidewalk across from them.
I keep my head up as I continue walking through town smiling at various people I see, but I don't stop.
"Sakura, so good to see you!" I hear an elderly woman say from my right but I just smile and keep walking, I have my mission of the moment.
I round the corner and head for the empty field that we all used to train on. Kakashi always being late, Naruto always acting foolish, Sasuke ignoring us all until Naruto would provoke him. I smile as I keep walking past all the memories. I walk until I'm about twenty feet into the woods. I kneel in front of a large stone that has etchings on it, not yet looking directly at it. My emerald eyes slowly trail up until I hit what breaks my heart almost every day. I slowly set down the small flower I brought with me, trying to avoid the words somehow.
'Naruto Uzumaki, October 10th
Beloved son and teammate.
Brightened the day of anyone who knew
him. Was last seen at this spot
He will be missed.'
Those few words are all that are left after that last night. I find myself crying silently, trying desperately to keep myself together unlike the many times I've screamed and cried out.
"Naruto.." I whisper out before screaming.
"Where are you?!" I yell into the deep nothingness of the woods surrounding me. I pause for a second before hearing silence answer me. I scream angrily before punching the tree nearest to me, successfully knocking it over.
He's been gone for so long, he's been gone almost 10 years. He returned for a few days after Sasuke and I were with Sebastian, him being almost 4, Naruto stayed for a few days before disappearing again. He came to visit me and our old team, but stayed in his old apartment. After he disappeared I reached a new rough patch of my life, one that only Emily brought me out of. She was born lacking a few months from a year after he came back. Sasuke was slightly suspicious about the timing of the pregnancy but trusted me anyways with it, or didn't care much since he was the one raising her and getting to be called a father. I slowly turn around and crumble to my knees remembering everything from that weekend Naruto returned. The guilt, the longing, the never ending need to apologize, the last night.
"Wishing you were somehow here again... Knowing we must say goodbye.." I look up with a tear stained face, slowly calming down.
"Try to forgive, teach me to live, give me the strength to try.." My pink locks keep flying around lightly as I turn towards the deep woods.
"No more memories, no more silent tears, no more gazing across the wasted years... Help me say goodbye..." I turn back and walk towards the village again. This has to end. No more wishing he was here. No more thinking about him. I'm married to Sasuke and I have two kids with him. I love him.
"Help me say goodbye."
I gasp loudly and fall into Sasuke. I'm in a daze as he holds me steady. It doesn't really hurt but it's extremely uncomfortable. Like losing your breath you were holding under water.
"Wha.. What was that?" I ask trying to get my breath back.
"Our future if you pick me. I don't know what it entails, but hopefully it's good enough for you." He says quietly as I cling to him.
"I.. We... What?" I stutter as I remember Sebastian and Emily and how perfect it kind of was.
"If you decide now, you'll forget it all but we will end up together." He says as I try to figure it all out.
"Why.. Why would you show me all of that?" I ask, looking at the window and trying to avoid his eyes again.
"I've thought about it and.. I want you to be with no one else... And I want to be with you." He says causing me to finally look back at him.
"W..What happens if I don't choose you?"
"I can show you whoever it is, but it will be painful. Who? Who else would you want to be with?" He asks grabbing my arms and shaking me, I glance at the picture of our old team, giving him his answer.
"Fine. How about I just show you everyone?! How about that." He snaps before the film behind my eyes starts to roll again and my head starts spinning even more.
