Chapter 4

AN:I'm back! My Kami-I am so sorry this update for being so late. Last week was finals and I was stuck babysitting my younger siblings. So babysitting plus finals means a lot of sleeping will need to be made up. Good thing I'm on winter brake. I believe the chapter after this one would be the last one. I also have been planning a sonfic, but-me being a control freak-I won't start on it until I'm done with this story. I hope you guys like this chapter. I'm sorry if it sounds a little confusing. Just PM ask me and I'll answer! =)

~~~~~flashback~~~~~

Sasuke headed to the training grounds team seven used to train. Anyone that was in a ten-meter radius from him ran away in fear sensing his dark aura of anger and hatred. I swear when I see that Hyuga I'll-

"You know it's not good for you to be brooding in hatred when you're supposed to be taking care of your family."

Sasuke looked up to see his former sensi reading and leaning and reading from a tree. "Hn."

Kakashi followed Sasuke to the training grounds. "So how's your wife?"

"Fine." Sasuke said in a clipped tone. He was not in a conversation mood.

"I'm surpriesed that you're just now having your first child...Sakura had hers when she was 16."

Sasuke almost tripped when he turned to look at Kakashi. "WHAT!?"

Kakashi nodded "She got married when she was 14."

Sasuke couldn't believe what the white-haired man was saying. "How is that possible?"

Kakashi gave Sasuke a brief esaperated look. "Do you really want me to tell you about the birds and the bees?"

Sasuke frowned as a slighe tinge of pink went across the bridge of his nose. "That wasnot what I ment." He was not in the mood for jokes either.

Kakashi chuckled "She wasn't expecting to have a child so early though. In fact, her and Neji agreed to wait before they had one. So when she found out she was pregnant, she was terrified of telling Neji."

~~~~~flashback~~~~~

Kakashi opened the door to his house to find a tear-faced Sakura.

"Sakura? What are you doing here?" It had been a while since he seen her cry."Did the Hyuga do something to you?" He growled, his uncovered eye hardening.

Sakura bit her lip as she shook her head. "Kakashi-sensi...um, is it okay that I stay here for a few days?"

Kakashi nodded "As long as you tell me what's going on..." Kakashi knew that Sakura did something wrong when she bit her lip. Did she make him angry?

Once Sakura was settled and comfortable with a cup of tea in her hands, her former teacher sat right across from her in a one-person sofa.

"So...what's going on?" He started.

Sakura took a deep breath "It started when I went to the hospital to ask shishou to give me a check up since my chakra network didn't feel right to me..."

The medic nin looked too frightened to continue, but Kakashi urged her to on. "What did she say?"

"Shishou...s-she said..." Sakura bit her bottom lip as her hand unconciously went to her stomach.

"You're pregnant..." Kakashi didn't even need her to finish her sentence. Kakashi smiled through his mask. "Congradulations... but why are you so upset?"

Fear was clearly seen through her eyes as more tears fell down her cheek. "Neji-kun didn't want to have a child..."

Kakashi frowned "Why?" As far as the copy nin knew, Hiashi removed the curse mark from the second branch in order to make Neji the clan leader. Why would he not want children?

"I-it's not that he never wants kids...we just agreed not to have them...like now."

"Ah..."

"..."

"...you didn't tell him uet did you?"

Sakura suddenly found her tea cup very interesting.

"You know Sakura he's going to have to know sooner or later right? Especially when you start showing..."

More tears slid down her face. "B-but what i-if he doesn't want the b-baby? W-what if h-he doesn't w-want me anymore?"

Kakashi sweatdropped. Sakura was emotional, but never this emotional...it must be the mood swings... Kakashi gave the weeping-once again-medic a hankerchief "I think that you're being a little paranoid. Why don't you rest for a bit? I'll get you some pillows and blankets for the pull-out couch." Sakura nodded.

As soon as Kakashi left, there was a knock at the door. It sound pretty urgent, so Sakura went to answer it. When she opened the door, her slightly red emerald eyes were met with angry, pale-violet, pupil-less eyes that showed a hint of worry.

H-he knows...was the only thought that came through her mind as she started shaking. Then her vision started to get dark.

"Sakura..." Neji said, ready to scold her. He didn't like the fact that his wife was avoiding him. But before he could say anything else, Sakura fainted.

"Sakura!" he called to her as he caught her in his arms . As he looked over her, he noticed that she was paler than usual and her chakra net was disturbed. With more worry than he had before, he took the quickest rout to the hospital with his cherry blossom in his arms.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with her Hokage-sama?" Neji asked once Tsunade checked over Sakura. The blonde smiled.

"She'll be fine. She's just having a lot of stress, which it causing her to faint. Make sure that she relaxes a lot Hyuga-san. Stress and fainting is not good for her...body. I think she has to tell you something important once she wakes up. Once she does, you both can leave." Neji nodded and the Homage left the room.

Half an hour later, emerald eyes opened up to see pale-violet, pupil-less again, this time with more worry in them than anything.

"Neji-kun?" She said quietly. Neji touched his wife's face with one of his and used his other to thumb her cheek.

"Sakura...why are you avoiding me?"

More tears began to overflow the medic nin's eyes. "I'm sorry Neji-kun! I...I didn't mean for it to happen! I-it just did!"

Neji used both of his hands to wipe her tears as he kissed her forehead then her lips as a sign that he wasn't mad. "What happened?" He asked softly.

"I...I-i'm...pregnamt..." her words barely came out of her mouth, but it was loud enough for Neji to hear. Neji's eyes widen in surprise. His hand immediately went to her stomach, and sure enough he felt a different chakra signature forming there.

"Sakura look at me..." Sakura kept her head down to avoid her husband's accusing eyes the whole time. When she felt Neji lift her head up to look at him, she saw him smiling.

"I'm not mad."

Sakura was surprised. "B-but-" anything else she was going to say was cit off when Neji kissed her lovingly.

"It's okay. We'll just have to deal with being young parents, alright?" Neji toucher her forehead with his as he held both of her hands. Sakura smiled and nodded.

"Lets get you home and tell everyone the news." Neji said, helping her up.

"Okay..." Sakura got up and immediately felt dizzy, making her wobble. Neji picked her up and started carrying her bridal style. "No...I can walk..." she mumbled, but still held Neji close to her.

Neji smirked as he breathed in her hair. "I'm not letting you go so you can run away again..."

Sakura bit her lip as she looked down. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be a burden..."

Neji's eyes softened as he kissed her temple. This must be the mood swings...

"You're never a burden."

~~~~~end~~~~~

Kakashi looked up in the sky and saw a black bird fly in a circle. "Looks like the Hokage has a mission for me." and with a poof, he was gone.

Sasuke blinked. What is with people having flaskbacks in front of me as if I can see it? The ex-avenger started working on his taijustu (his chakra network was sealed off by the Hokage until further notice), when he sensed several kunai comming his way. He easily dodged them, but when he turned around to see who threw them, his eyes met with a younger boy's doe-like eyes. The boy looked like he was around six with jet black hair that was cut at the nape of her neck. It almost looked like Rock Lee's before he got the bob cut like Gai-sensi.

The boy threw more kunai at the Uchiha with dead on aim. Once Sasuke dodged them, he threw some back at the boy, pinning him to a tree.

"Hey!" The boy yelled, obviously mad at the Uchiha. "Get me down!"

Sasuke pulled some of the boy's hair back to get a good look at him. Why did he look so familar to him? "Who are you?"

Before the boy could answer, they both heard noises further down the forest comming closer to them. First was a female's, then was a male's.

"Kai-kun! Where are you?"

"Yosh! You're spingtime of youth is enough to rival my eternal rival's children!"

Sasuke sweatdropped. You have got to be kidding me...

"Sasuke! What are you doing to my son!" A plump Tenten yelled taking the kunai off the tree to get her son off. The boy smiled and stood behind his mother looking at Sasuke.

"That was very unyouthful of you Sasuke to take advantage of such youth." Rock Lee said. Sasuke scoffed.

"The brat came at me first. I'm guessing he belongs to both of you?"

"Yeah..."Tenten said smiling and started to rub her belly "And he has a little sister coming too. Which reminds me-do you know what gender Sakura's twin babies are going to be?"

Sasuke shrugged "Why should I care?"

Tenten frowned "Because she's your fromer team mate -you know what? Nevermind. I guess some people never change..."

"Hn."

"I just hope she will be okay this time..." Tenten mumbled.

"My beloved Tenten! Why would say such a thing?!" Lee yelled.

Tente smacked Lee in the head. "Baka! Are you trying to make me deaf?!" Then she sighed "Don't you remember? Three years after Sakura's and Neji's first child was born, two of the Akatsuki came to kidnapp Garra. While we were with Gai-sensi breaking the seals, Sakura was fighting Sasouri and he plunged the poisen sword into her stomach."

Sasuke raised and eyebrow "What does that have to do with her now?"

Tenten glared at Sasuke "It's because of that incident she has to be careful with how much chakra she uses when she's pregnant. Even though Granny Chiyo healed her, some of the poisen still permantly messed up her reproductive system. So every time she's pregnant with a child, the baby only grows from her chakra network instead of that and the nutrients from her body. When Sakura had her second child, she was in a colma for two months because the chakra levels were too low."

~~~~~flashback~~~~~

Neji was a mess. Physically and mentally.

As soon as he and Sakura agreed to name their daughter Hiruka, Sakura fainted. He found out from Lady Tsunade that she was in a colma because her chakra level was dangerously low. The Hokage wasn't even sure if she would wake up from it and if she did, when.

Neji stayed off every mission that was assigned to him since then so he could stay close to his wife. He couldn't help but feel as if he could have prevented something like this from happening to Sakura. So until she woke up-he knew she would, without a doubt-he trained their son at home who was now four years old speaking fluently and walking perfectly; checking their daughter who was still in the infurmary; or with Sakura in one of the resting rooms at the hospital.

Sometimes he took their son to see her and the four-year-old would talk to her about his day and how annoying his cousin Hiru was. One day the little boy promised that when she woke up, they would go to the ice cream shop-him knowing that the dessert was one of his mother's favorites. Neji couldn't help but smile at his son.

After two months, Hiruka was able to leave the infurmary, so before Neji took her home, he went to check on Sakura with the baby still in his arms. Neji had to watch out for Hiruka's hands though-the girl had a thing for playing and pulling his hair.

While Neji was trying to keep the baby girl quiet, he didn't notice that Sakura was stirring from her deep sleep. Sakira blinked a few times before her eyes could adjust to her surroundings. She looked to the side to see her husband playing with their daughter. She also saw the dark bags under Neji's eyes. Sakura frowned. How long have I been sleeping?

Sakura reached her arm towards Neji's so her fingers could barely graze his skin.

"Neji-kun?" She called out to him. She hadn't used her voice so long that it bacame weak and scratchy, but it was loud enough for Neji to hear.

Neji's eyes shot up from Hiruka's eyes to meet Sakura's. "Sakura?!" His voice was a mixture of surprise and relief. Sakura smiled as she reached her arm a little more so her hand was on Neji's face and her thumb was under one of his eyes.

"You look exhausted..." she said, he voice a little stronger than before. Neji smiled as he took Sakura's hand that was touching his face and kissed it. He didn't realize it at first, but now that Sakura was awake and healthy, his body did feel worn out.

"I can't sleep knowing my wife isn't feeling well and in my arms." Neji said. He quickly took his hair out of Hiruka's hands before she started pulling on it again. How she got it again, Neji will never know.

Sakura gave a weak laugh at Hiruka's actions. "Here-let me hold her. You can sleep in the bed with me-there is enough room. Neji hesitated, but as soon as he saw Sakura move over he shrugged off any doubt he had and slipped into the bed after he knew Sakura had a good grip on the baby.

Once he was settled, he pulled Sakura as close to him as he can. Sakura was laying on his chest and Neji's arm was snaked around her waist to keep her in place. Hiruka was placed between them and in both of their arms. Sakura giggled softly as she kissed Neji's cheek.

"Sleep well Neji-kun..." she whispered while she was playing with Hiruka's fingers who was also falling back asleep.

"Hn..." was the last thing Neji said before he lost conciousness.

~~~~~end~~~~~

"I still can't believe that she went through all of that just to get some information about you-and you could care less about her! She almost DIED!" Tenten said coldly. Sasuke inwardly cringed, but before he could say anything Shizune appeared before him.

"Sasuke your child was just born. The Hokage would like to speak with you immediately."

Sasuke eyes widen in surprise. Karin wasn't due until two weeks from now. Without looking back at the family, he raced back to the hospital.

AN: There's chapter 4 for ya! I'm still thinking about how to put the last chapter, Epilogue, together. If I don't figure it out after Christmas, it will be two chapters. I'll try to make it one though. Oh- and can someone please tell me what TTFL means? I'm still new to this thing, and I see that every time I read a story. Also-what do beta's or beta readers do?

I know I haven't said this before but yes Sakura and Neji had a son before they had Hiruka, but Sasuke isn't supposed to know that until the next chapter. Let's keep that a secret okay?

Sasuke: Keep what a secret?

Me:Um-nothing! Hey are those fresh picked tomatoes?

Sasuke: *looke around* Where?

Me:*hides behind Itachi*

Itachi:*sighs* Read and review...
