I woke up and Itachi was asleep, my hand under his with his head on the side of the bed next to my elbow. I brought his hand to my lips and kissed it. He woke up and I carefully let his hand back down.
"Good morning, sleepy head," I whispered because talking took too much energy.
"Good morning. How do you feel?"
"Like hell."
"Watch your language. You're 12 years old."
"I'm also a ninja who nearly died. I feel like shit."
He sighed, I'm sorry, babe."
I sighed amd the nurse walked in.
"Good morning, Miss... Haruno. I'm sorry, sir, but you can't be back here-"
"I'm part of her treatment, look at the clip board."
"Its strictly against policy-"
'It's okay, I'm ready to go home, anyway."
"You can't leave! You're in critical condition!"
'I'm okay now. As soon as my chakra is up I'll be back to normal."
Itachi 'hn'-ed.
"Oh dear, they didn't read you your chart, did they?"
"She just woke up."
"Well, you aren't leaving anytime soon. For one, you have a damaged artery in your leg, and you had a near miscarriage yesterday."
"A what!?" Sakura yelled.
"A near miscarriage. You didn't know you here pregnant?"
I took a deep breath. Itachi looked hurt. Ill. Betrayed. We'd never had sex before. I sobbed.
"Oh, kami, just kill me now! Oh!"
"Sakura, did you... how could you..."
"I'm so sorry, Itachi! I didn't want to! He made me! I couldn't stop him!"
"Who, Sakura?"
"Fugaku!"
He froze, then pain and hatred filled his eyes.
"We would have done an abortion because of her age and her size, but with her injuries, it's too risky-"
"I'll kill him."
"Itachi-"
"My father, Sakura. My father! He will die!"
"Sir, please calm down. Upsetting her isn't good for her in her condition or for the baby."
Itachi took a breather and sat down.
"We can schedule an abortion for soon after she's back up to health-"
"No," I said.
Itachi nodded, not looking at me.
"I don't care if this baby isn't yours, it's your brother or sister and is totally innocent in the situation."
""ma'am, you're still a kid yourself. And a small kid at that. The possibility of you and the baby not making it threw the pregnancy..."
"I'll take my chances. How far along an I?"
Itachi back tracked.
"It happened more then once?"
I nodded.
"How long?"
"A few times."
"Sakura..."
"A while..."
"How long is a wile?"
"A... few years..."
"How many?" he asked, obviously angry.
"F-five or six..."
"Since the ritual?"
I nodded.
"That night and a lot after it."
He swore and grabbed his head.
"I let him hurt you so long..."
"Itachi, it's not your fault. Maybe we should see a councilor when we get home..."
"I'm gonna need one as soon as I kill that bastard."
'The hokage-"
"Will get over it. He took what you were only supposed to give to me, Sakura."
"I know..."
"You're three months along," the doctor said.
I nodded.
