Recap...

Sakura stepped out of the hospital, dragging herself towards her car. A load of patients rushed into the hospital at once earlier and she has been working nonstop since she's been called.

She was tired.

The Pinkette stretched as she walked.

"Sakura." Hearing her name, the said woman turned towards the voice, emerald orbs landed on a particular redhead.

Oh shit.

New Chapter...

"Sakura," He repeated, snapping the said woman from her stupor.

"G-Gaara-kun!" She exclaimed, eyes widened in shock. I forgot about him! Oh no, oh no, oh no. She chanted.

Said man stared at the pinkette, "I've been waiting for you." He stated, taking a step towards his companion, "I wanted to talk about my offer from earlier."

Sakura flinched, How am I suppose to tell him that I forgot about his offer and chose Sasuke? She thought guiltily, how could I have forgot about him? Sakura, you are SO Stupid!

"Oh Gaara-kun. I'm so sorry," She began, but was interrupted by the said male.

"I know." He said, emerald orbs stare at him, confused.

Gaara smirked sadly, "I know about Uchiha." He clarified, "You chose him."

She flinch.

"H-how did you- w-who told you," Sakura gave up on forming a proper sentence and settled for a questioning glance.

Gaara stared at the parking lot behind her, refusing to make eye contact, "I couldn't help but overhear." He explained vaguely.

-x-x-x-

After Gaara left the cafe, he headed to the hospital. A client was recently admitted into the medical center for treatment and Gaara was sent by his older sister, Temari, to make arrangements with the said client on a contract that has yet to be talked into signing.

It needed to be handled a.s.a.p.

Once he got to his destination, he turned off the engine and strolled into the infirmary, going through multiple hallways before he realized he forgot the contract itself. Mentally hitting himself for his forgetfulness, he started his trek back to his car, but a blur of pink in his peripheral vision stopped him. Sakura? He thought.

When he turned towards the blur, emerald orbs were greeted by Haruno Sakura.

On top of Uchiha Sasuke.

Fucking Uchiha. He thought, eye narrowing.

Tsunade's scrub clad figure ran up to the two, asking something that Gaara couldn't hear from the distance. He crept closer, curiosity piqued, he hid behind a wall, listening intently.

"Sakura, is he the father?" he heard the busty blonde ask.

What the damn Uchiha answered made him tense, She chose him? The redhead questioned, hurt by the pinkette's silent refusal.

Fist clenched, he turned away, rushing towards the exit.

-x-x-x-

"I don't know what is going on between the two of you, but be careful around the Uchiha." He warned.

Emerald orbs softened, "Gaara-kun," She said softly, touched by his understanding and concern, "Thank you."

A darker shade of emerald stared into its counterparts, "This doesn't mean I give up," He stated, "If that Uchiha doesn't take care of you guys, I'm alway here. Don't hesitate to come to me."

She smiled gratefully, "Thank you so much."

He gave a lazy boyish smirk, "I'm going to grab a drink now, bye Sakura."

-x-x-x-

Loud knocks repeated echoed around her house, Sakura groaned in annoyance, mentally killing the person at her front doorstep. Glancing at the time, her eyes widened.

"Oh Shit!" She exclaimed, jumping out of bed, she rushed to the front door. Opening it, emerald met with onyx, she smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of her head.

The clock on her bedside table stated it was way past morning and the pinkette was late for her scheduled doctors appointment.

"H-hi Sasuke-kun." She greeted, stepping aside to let him in.

"You're late for the appointment." He stated in his monotone voice, seemingly unaffected by the woman's tartiness. When, in reality, he was worried sick that something had happened.

Flashback

Tsunade twitched, annoyed by the male's continuous tapping.

"Sasuke. Please stop doing that annoying thing with your foot." She begged, stepping on the said body part.

"Where is she?" He asked, ignoring the blonde's comment.

"She is probably still sleeping. What was I thinking, setting up such an early time for an appointment with Sakura?" She joked playfully, chuckling at her own humor.

Sasuke stared at her.

"That wasn't funny. You know that right?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Tsunade stared back seriously, "I thought it was."

"Your apprentice is an hour late and you are making bad jokes." He sighed, irritated that the woman in front of him cares so little about Sakura's well being.

"She had a rough day yesterday, I'm sure she's fine." She reassure, smiling at the Uchiha's worried expression, Can't wait to see him when Sakura's in labor. She thought.

"Stop smiling." He ordered, glaring at the doctor.

"What if I don't want to?" She replied, smile growing wider.

"What if something happened to her?" Sasuke asked, changing the subject.

"Damn Uchiha, if you're so damn worried, go find her yourself." She said.

"I. Am. Not. Worried." He retorted.

"Then sit down." He did as told and Tsunade continued inputing reports onto her computer.

Less than five minutes later, the sound of the door opening and closing was heard. When she looked around the room, Uchiha Sasuke was nowhere in sight, Ah, Young love. She thought.

Young love.

End of Flashback

"I'm so sorry Sasuke-kun! I overslept! A wave of patients entered yesterday and there just wasn't enough doctors to deal with everyone, so I had to-" she was cut off by the Uchiha.

"You're rambling."

Sakura looked down and murmured a small apology.

"Go change, we're late." He ordered, Sakura's head snapped up, she smiled, I think I'm forgiven.

"No, you are not forgiven, now go." The Uchiha repeated, replying to her thought.

Emerald orbs widened, H-how did he know what I was thinking? The raven haired male pushed her towards the direction of the stairs, urging her to get ready. She heeded, still surprised by his mind reading skills.

"You're just easy to read Sakura, I don't need psychic abilities."

Sakura grinned, embarrassed, "Make yourself at home, I'll be quick." She said while running up the stairs. Once she reached the bathroom, clothes were thrown on the floor and she jumped into the shower.

Meanwhile, Sasuke is walking around, analyzing the living room; pictures, decoration, etc. Overall, he concluded the room was pretty girly,

I think I just got a cavity.

Sakura rushed out of the shower and continued onto brushing her teeth, a towel wrapped securely around her wet form. After rinsing out the toothpaste, she took a step back, expertly slipping on the puddle of water she created seconds prior.

Downstairs, Sasuke resulted to sitting on the couch, already finished going through the pictures on the wall and tables, a text from Naruto keeping him busy, "It never ceases to amaze me, the retards' spelling gets worse every time." He said, trying to figure out what the blonde typed to him.

His decoding was halted by a bang from upstairs. Onyx orbs gazed upwards, towards the sound, What the hell is she doing up there? He asked, amused. When no sound followed the ruckus, his curiosity got the better of him, he got off the couch and slowly made his way upstairs.

"Sakura?" He asked out loud, nearing the bathroom, no reply.

"Sakura!" He called again, the person on the other side groaned. His hand reached for the door knob, "Oi, I'm coming in!" He yelled.

Sasuke rushed through the threshold, slipped on the floor, and landed right next to Sakura.

Smoothly.

Emerald orbs turned towards the fallen male, "Real nice." Sakura commented dryly, wincing as she pushed herself off the wet ground.

"Shut up."

She chuckled, he glared.

It was silent, neither wanting to talk.

Way to be a hero. Sasuke thought, mentally reprimanded himself. Slipping on a puddle. Smooth Uchiha, smooth.

"Can you wait in my room?" Sakura asked quietly, gripping the towel around her form tightly, not meeting her partners gaze, "I-I need to get dressed."

Her voice snapped the Uchiha from his thoughts, he blushed lightly, realizing he's been staring at her towel clad body this whole time.

He coughed loudly, trying to push the blush away.

"Aa, change quickly." He said before getting off the floor and exiting the bathroom.

-x-x-x-

After the bathroom incident, Sakura got dressed and wiped all the water up with a towel. When she entered her room, the Uchiha was standing near the air vent, attempting to dry his clothes.

"We'd be here all day if thats how you want to dry up, Sasuke-kun." She commented, walking over to her closet.

"Do you have a better idea?" He asked, agitated.

A black T-shirt and jeans were thrown his way.

Sasuke rose an eyebrow, asking why she had mens clothes in her house.

"Naruto left them when he slept over not too long ago." She answered his unasked question, "You can changed in the bathroom, I already cleaned the water puddles."

"Aa. I'll try not to be disgusted that I am wearing the Dobe's clothes."

Sakura chuckled, "I washed them, they're clean. You're lucky it isn't orange."

He grunted in agreement, closing the bathroom door.

"Do the clothes fit?" She asked a couple minutes later.

Onyx orbs analyzed the clothes through the bathroom mirror before grunting in response to the pinkette.

"Open the door and let me see." Sakura commanded.

When the Uchiha walked out, she nodded, "Acceptable." She commented.

Sasuke stared at her, "Acceptable?" He questioned, bemused.

"Naruto wears it better, but it doesn't look bad." She replied, chuckling.

"Wha-" Before he could finish his retort, Sakura grabbed his arm and began pulling him downstairs. "No time for squabbling Sasuke-kun, we're going to be late."

"My-" He was cut off again, "I'll wash your clothes and give them back to you another day, come on!"

He sighed. Women. He thought.

-x-x-x-

"Sasuke-kun! You just missed the turn to the hospital!" Sakura yelled, pointing to the said direction.

Onyx orbs continued concentrating on the road, ignoring the pinkette in the passenger seat.

"Did you hear me!" Sakura asked loudly, "Make a U-turn!"

"Lower your voice, I'm not deaf."

Sakura glared at her partner, "Are you sure? Because I don't see you doing as I say."

Sasuke sighed and made a left, "Calm down. I know where the hospital is, I wasn't heading there." He explained, getting out of the car.

Emerald orbs looked out the window, realizing that the raven haired man parked at a local diner and was currently heading inside. He knew I had just woken up when he came and I haven't had breakfast.

Snapping out of her surprised trance, Sakura quickly got out of the car and followed him.

Inside, the couple waited for the hostess to finish seating a group of teens before stepping up.

When the worker realized he had people waiting up front, he waved and began walking towards the unconventional couple. His expression changed the closer he got, when he arrived at the front of the restaurant, he was openly gapping at Sakura.

The pink haired woman was staring at the menu that was provided by the door, ignorant to the young waiter's hungry gaze. Sasuke on the other hand, noticed the employee's unwavering stare and glared at the fellow.

Too bad he didn't notice.

"Two." The Uchiha said out loud, causing Sakura and the worker to focus their gaze on him, "Two," he repeated. The hostess nodded and began leading them to their table, eyes never leaving the pinkette's form.

Sasuke growled, snaking an arm around Sakura's waist, he silently declared her as 'his.' He made sure to have eye contact before giving a good, scary glare. The restaurant worker took the hint and turned toward the front, he plastered on a fake smile, not wanting to piss off the costumer even more, and wished them a nice lunch, then walked away, not daring to look back.

The whole interaction flying over Sakura's head; she didn't notice a single thing.

The meal went by quickly with light conversations shared between the two, within an hour and a half, the duo arrived at the hospital.

"You could have already had the baby with how long I waited for you." Tsunade greeted, dropping the pen she was using to sign paperwork.

Sakura giggled, scratching her head, "Sorry."

Sasuke sat down quietly, followed by Sakura.

"Alright, putting that aside, let's get down to business," The medical specialist began, "Currently, the official In Vitro Fertilization process takes up to six weeks, sometimes even longer depending on the patient." Onyx orbs widened a fraction, by then, my family will be suspicious if Sakura isn't showing. He thought, calculating the timeframe between his 'girlfriends' pregnancy according to his parents and the real pregnancy. Tsunade continued, "A research team was formed to create a safer and faster version of IVF, Sakura lead the study herself and they succeeded without fail. This new process takes about two to four weeks, also depending on the patient."

"Impressive." Sasuke commented lowly, Sakura blushed, glad that she received a compliment for her sleepless nights spent researching and experimenting.

The busty doctor noted the exchange and continued, "Any who, instead of wasting eight to fourteen days taking fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries, it will only take five to nine. The drugs are in the brown bag here," She pointed to where the said object was, "and in about two days I'll personally check if the eggs are ready." She finished.

Sakura nodded, grabbing the paper bag, she and Sasuke began making their way out of the office.

Just when the male was about to step out, Tsunade stopped him. "Sasuke." Said person turned around, raising a dark eyebrow.

"For now, you don't need to do anything, but make sure to check on Sakura daily. The only person she lives with is her mother and she's in the hospital right now, so Sakura's alone. Take care of her." She warned.

He smirked and walked out.

When he entered the parking lot, Sakura was already standing next to his car. Without a sound, the two got into the vehicle and Saske drove off, quietly.

"So, Sasuke-kun, I was thinking of having dinner out tonight. You want to join me?" Sakura asked, breaking the silence. She received no reaction, biting her lip nervously she added "I-it's alright if you can't make it, you must be busy, I was just wonder-" She was cut off.

"Pick you up at seven." Were the last words her said before driving off, leaving a smiling Sakura on her driveway. Is this a date?

.Six Days Later.

As the days progressed, the future parents saw each other frequently. Their relationship was slowly growing, getting to know each other better-somewhat.

Mikoto invited the two over for dinner one night and it went smoothly. Who knew Sakura was such a great actor?

.Flashback.

"Sakura-chan, how are you feeling?" Mikoto began while cutting a piece of meat, "Any morning sickness yet?" She asked, glancing towards the pinkette. Fugaku, who was released a couple days prior, and Itachi stopped their 'manly' conversation and followed Mikoto's lead.

Sakura smiled, "Luckily I haven't yet, but I'm dreading it, even the thought of it makes me sick." She replied, wiping her mouth with a napkin. Onyx met emerald, amazed 'Since when were you such a great liar?' the stare seem to say.

Mikoto misinterpreted their interaction, thinking the two were quietly flirting, and giggled, "You two are too cute." She smiled.

The two blushed and stared at their plates, from then on, dinner went great, until the plates were picked up.

When the meal ended, Mikoto asked her nightly question, "Does anyone want to watch a movie?"

Usually, the boys answer's would be 'no,' but today Itachi decided to be a rebel and accepted. What is he planning? Sasuke wondered, suspicious.

"Sasuke, I think you and Sakura should join mother and I for a nice movie." The older sibling said, "and we can share embarrassing stories. "Yes!" Mikoto chimed.

Sakura glanced over at Sasuke, he looked ready to dash, so she decided to help a friend in need.

Standing silently next to her 'lover,' the pinkette suddenly clench his shirt, digging her head into his chest. Emerald orbs gazed into concerned onyx ones and signaled him to 'act along.'

The young woman began panted, breathing irregularly, and tightening her hold on his shirt.

"Are you okay?" Mikoto asked worriedly.

"I-I don't feel so goo-" before she could finish her sentence, Sakura made a mad dash towards the bathroom, her hand clasping her mouth shut. Sasuke followed close behind, acting the part of a worried lover perfectly. When the two were in the safety confines of the restroom, the door was slammed shut and Sakura began making gagging noses, pouring water into the toilet for sound effects. Knocks were heard soon after, Sakura smiled and continued her ministrations, pretending to vomit. When she decided enough was enough, she flushed the toilet and began 'washing her hands and rinsing her mouth.'

She signaled Sasuke to support her, he did as told then opened the door slowly, a tired looking Sakura by his side.

"I don't think we can do a movie tonight, I'm going to take Sakura home and put her to bed." Sasuke said.

Mikoto nodded understandingly, "Morning sickness just graced its presence, sweetie. Take care and be careful." She replied, helping the couple towards the front door.

"I'm sorry." Sakura apologized warily.

The Uchiha Matriarch grinned, "It's alright, I still have Itachi!" She exclaimed, said man scowled. My plan was ruined. He thought.

Sasuke smirked and carefully helped Sakura into the car, when the two were a good distance away, Sakura straightened up and grinned.

"Since when did you become such a great actor?" Sasuke asked, smirking.

.End Flashback.

Tsunade performed a trans vaginal ultrasound aspiration for the egg retrieval on Sakura and the said woman was currently laying on the hospital bed, waiting for the okay to leave.

A specific Uchiha by her side, "For the millionth time Sasuke-kun, you don't have to wait for me." Sakura exclaimed, waving her arms around to prove her point.

"Don't make me repeat myself, I'm already here." He retorted, "Besides, I'm your ride."

Sakura crossed her arms and turned away, yeilding. "Fine." She mumbled. He smirked, what an Uchiha wants, an Uchiha gets.

A Nurse entered and check the pinkette's status, she smiled "Okay Sakura-sama, you are free to go."

The words earned a 'yes!' from the pink haired doctor.

Step two of In Vitro: Finished
