Chapter 7: What! She's pregnant and with...
She was in pain, it was not unbearable but it was extremely uncomfortable for Sakura. She was eight months pregnant and the bulge on her belly was preventing her from walking like a normal human being. Everyone kept telling her that she looked adorable pregnant...that was because they weren't pregnant!
" Sakura-chan!" Naruto ran to Sakura but accidently tripped over the sidewalk and landed head first on the pavement. Causing Sakura to burst out laughing, he never changed no matter how much he had grown, deep inside he would still be that twelve-year old boy. " Don't laugh Sakura-chan!"
" I-I'm hahah so jeje sorry..." Sakura smiled while resting her hand on her belly. Naruto looked at Sakura up and down, analyzing her state.
" Wow, I never thought you would get THAT big!" Sakura's eye twitched, the only thing that prevented her from tearing Naruto to shreds was the big bulging belly in front of her. Of course it was also Hinata who was right behind Naruto, she also carried the same growing belly of Sakura's.
" Hello Sakura-san." Hinata waved, Sakura returned the gesture. " How are you feeling?"
" Humf...I feel like I can pop any day now. Haha" Sakura teased, she felt perfectly healthy. " How about you? You don't look as bad as me..." Sakura asked.
" Well, you are right. I am a month behind you..." Hinata answered. Naruto approached his wife, and put a resting hand on her belly, slowly caressing.
" Yep we are hoping for a girl! I'm so excited to keep all the boys at bay when she grows up!" Naruto informed. His statement caused both woman to start laughing, thinking about the idea of Naruto holding a gun outside of the poor girl's room so that no one would come through.
" Sakura-san, you haven't told us what you are expecting." Hinata mentioned. Sakura looked down at her stomach, sighing.
" Actually...I wanted to wait until Sasuke got back to find out the baby's sex." Sakura's eyes saddened, Naruto looked at Hinata and vise versa.
" Don't worry Sakura! That Sasuke-teme will be back soon, I promise you!" Sakura smiled at his confidence, unlike her she was losing hope that Sasuke would ever come back.
Yes, he had promised her he would return, but...it had been eight months already since she last saw him and there was still no news about him.
What could be more important than her?
...
His buzzing headache was killing his patience, he was not one for patience but some situations called for it. This was definitely one of them...
" Are you done yet?" questioned Sasuke with a scowl on his face.
" Why do you never have time for me Sasuke-kun!?" wined the woman in front of him. She was interrupting precious time of Sasuke's work. She never learned that Sasuke did not like to be disturbed by anyone...
" Look Karin...I'm busy right now. Can't you pick another time to come and bother me?" retorted Sasuke trying to focus on his work.
Meanwhile the said woman stood up and walked around the desk to approach Sasuke. Slowly she embraced Sasuke and kissed him on the cheek. "You promised me to take me out today! Besides it's already seven!" wined Karin, not loosening her grip on Sasuke's neck.
Sasuke sighed, and stood up causing Karin to release her hold on him. "Fine. Let's go!" Sasuke grabbed his coat and headed for the door, Karin followed suit after her fiancée.
Although Sasuke had been seeing Karin for months now, he never stopped thinking about Sakura. He kept blaming himself for taking so much damn fucking time with the Karin ordeal. Yeah, he had promised his mother that he would bare with his father's consent, but this was just too much. Sasuke was already thinking about breaking the news to his father, his mother already new that he didn't love Karin.
All he had to do was finish his business work in New York and quickly after head for Konoha, all he hoped for was that Sakura was still waiting for him after such a long time.
His 'date' with Karin went smoothly, he convinced her to go to her apartment and leave him go to his. It bothered him when she would appear in his apartment with no prior warning. She was just too liberal for him...
Sasuke took a shower and after headed for sleep, but he couldn't. His mind was wide awake and everything it thought was related to Sakura. He missed being with her, hugging her petite body, kissing her plump lips, and making love to her. His body craved for her body, it had been months since he had had sex, and the last woman he had slept with was Sakura...
How could he have let this happen? The company had Itachi and his father, they didn't need him...exactly!
Sasuke got up from the bed and went to the phone, he dialed the number and spoke to the lady on the other end.
" Yes? Hello, I want one ticket for tomorrow's flight to Konoha." Sasuke ordered.
...
" So...how are you feeling?" asked Ino, she was concerned about her friend's health, she was living by herself, even when her own parents wanted to convince her to stay with them she had denied them.
" I'm fine, why do you ask?" Sakura questioned. Everyone kept asking her the damn same question and it was growing tedious.
" You know what I mean Sakura. It's about...Sasuke." Ino's sudden question caused Sakura to freeze, she hadn't expected such and outburst. " I know how you feel..."
" No you don't! The only reason why I'm still sane is because I trust him! But that trust is slowly vanishing...I can't hold on much longer Ino." Sakura began to cry, Ino embraced her friend in a tight hug. Gently rubbing her back with her hands. " I feel like I wasn't good enough for him...Ino was I not good enough for him?" her tears trailed down her cheeks.
It pained her to think that she gave him everything she could. Only to be betrayed and used by the man she loved the most...the only reason she was still fighting was for the child that was still growing inside of her, the only peace of him that she could still hold on to. Was it really too much to ask of him to be with her?
" Sakura, when he does come. Are you going to tell him about the baby?" Ino asked, the question had been bothering her for some time now.
" ...I don't know if I want to tell him." Sakura answered, all Ino could do was let her make up her mind. She wasn't agreeing to her decision, but it was her choice and all she could do was support her as much as she could.
...
It was six thirty and Sasuke was already at the airport waiting for his flight number to be called. He was so anxious, finally he was going to be able to see his Sakura and stay with her forever. The moment he was to arrive to Konoha he was planning on proposing to Sakura, he was not going to wait for another disaster to occur and separate them.
"Soon Sakura...I will be by your side soon." Sasuke walked through security and headed for the airplane that would take him to Konoha.
...
" I had a fantastic time Tony!" Sakura remarked, as she walked through the streets heading for her apartment.
Tony blushed and gently scratched his cheek in embarrassment. " I'm glad you did Sakura."
" Tony...I want to thank you, for being there for me through...well all of this." Sakura pointed to her rounded belly. The moment Tony found out about her pregnancy, he was completely shocked. He hadn't scolded her or anything, of which she was glad for. After the way that their relationship had turned out, Sakura and Tony decided to become friends.
" You know I want what is best for you. Whether it is with me or without me, I always want to see you bright with a smile." Tony smirked, causing Sakura to give a light giggle.
" I can take it from here Tony. I still need to pass by Ino's place." Tony agreed and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
" Take care Sakura." Tony waved back at Sakura as he walked away.
...
Sasuke had not wasted any time after he arrived in Konoha, he went straight to look for Sakura at her office. When he got there they had told him that she had not shown up for work for more than a month. Sasuke began to get worried, why the hell was Sakura not showing up for work? The notion of thinking that something had happened to Sakura caused him to look for her everywhere...
As Sasuke turned the corner he saw a pink haired woman...Sakura!
Then he noticed that Tony was standing right next to her, but what attracted his attention was that Sakura was...pregnant! He couldn't believe it, Sakura was pregnant with Tony's child. It couldn't be...he thought that Sakura would wait for him, she had told him she loved him, promised to keep their love alive. Then how was it that she had so easily deceived him and actually gone on to marry Tony. Sakura had betrayed him!
" I'm so fucking stupid! How could I believe that Sakura would still love me after all this time?" Sasuke had never cried in his life, this was the first time he ever cried for a woman. The woman that he was sure he was never going to forget...
