Chapter 13:
Tenten's breath puffed out of her mouth in quiet gasps, she was jogging next to Neji in a forest. They had to drive at least one hour to get there but it was worth it. It was still white and frosty everywhere, making them slip several times – mostly Tenten. But it was fun. The cool air made their cheeks reddish and bodies refreshed. They were jogging for at least half an hour now and Tenten was slowly getting tired. It confused her since she had usually nearly as much stamina as Neji. Maybe it was just because of the weather or because she threw up this morning. She really wasn't feeling that well, but she'd thought the fresh air would do good to the funny feeling in her stomach. But it did not. She was feeling faint now, her breath came out in ragged puffs. He noticed her struggle and slowed down slowly stopping when she stopped, too.
"What is wrong? Tenten?" she was coughing now, worrying him. "Tenten!" he called out to her but she just couldn't listen. Seconds later she vomited.
Tears were forming at the corner of her eyes and she coughed some more. He quickly helped her up from the cold ground and wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her in the other direction where they came from. Luckily she was awake and could walk with his help, but she was shaking. She was warm from their previous jogging and if she just walked through the cold snow she'd catch a cold. He knew this so he gave her his pullover, leaving himself in a t-shirt but he couldn't care less at the moment. "Hold on Tenten…" he pulled her faster. An hour later they reached their car. She was nearly unconscious now and practically clinging onto Neji for support. He opened the door of their car with some difficulty, helping her lay down on the backseat before he got a blanket out of the back of the car to cover her up. After he assured himself that she was alright and their seatbelt was on he drove off.

"Wow, Shikamaru, do I feel a six-pack? A real one? As in, really showing?" Ino cooed seductively while she touched the pineapple haired man's exposed stomach while he changed into another t-shirt.
"Stop mocking me, Ino." He stared blankly at her, but couldn't help but to smirk at her pouting face afterwards.
"I am not joking, it is true! I am so happy I got you to go to the fitness studio." Her eyes gleamed with awe while still touching him through his shirt. Shikamaru laid down next to her on the bed, stroking her swollen belly lightly. "And you are getting fat." He chuckled.
"You did not just say that Nara." The blonde growled, ice blue eyes narrowed. "What?" he said innocently. Hitting his face with her pillow she shut him up but releasing him when he tickled her. "Stop it." She laughed, rolling around while trashing.
The blonde didn't know what her mistakes was until she saw Shikamaru cringing and groaning. "Um, Shika-kun?" she asked, worried. "Get your knee away. Now." he groaned.
Ino shrieked, removing her knee from between Shikamaru's legs. "Oh damn, I didn't mean to knee you… down there," she laughed, "revenge is so sweet," she added as an afterthought.
But he had already pinned her down to the bed. "Say you're sorry. No… Rather beg for mercy." Shikamaru whispered in her ear, goose bumps appeared on her skin when his breath fanned her neck. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, jeez." He removed himself from atop of her, smirking while kissing her cheek lightly.
"You know your knee really hurt?"
"Burn," the blonde giggled.

"Do you really think it's a good idea to cook pancakes and ramen?" Hinata asked, raising an eyebrow at the blonde who was currently above two steaming pots while trying to mix the paste for the pancakes. "Yes, I think it's a good idea." He grinned at her and she couldn't help but to return the grin. "Naruto you sh-," she squeaked when she saw the soon-to-be-pancakes-still-liquidly-mixed-contents spill out. Naruto obviously saw this too and tried to grab the pot and to rescue it, but they bumped into each other and it flooded all over the floor. "Look at the mess. Look at it, Naruto-kun. Can't you see it laughing? I told you something's gonna happen." Hinata laughed, holding her tummy while ignoring her husbands complains about the mess he made. "You're going to clean this up, you know?" she asked him, hitting him playfully on the arm. "Yes ma'am. All right ma'am. In a moment, ma'am." He teased her while getting the cleaning rag. "See this is why I made ramen and pancakes, I knew something would go wrong, now we have at least ramen!" the blonde explained to the dark haired woman whose eyes widened. "Yes, I can't believe it, too." Naruto exclaimed. "Naruto… you're noodles are boiling over." She said dryly.

When he parked his car in front of the hospital he gently helped her out of the car, carrying her bridal-style the rest of the way towards the reception of the hospital. A nurse stopped by, shrieking, asking him about what had happened. After they brought her into a room he explained the situation quickly. He was shooed out of the room afterwards.

Chocolate brown eyes opened hours later. She was feeling dizzy and tired but warm. Someone was stroking her cheek and murmuring something she didn't understand. "Tenten?" she opened her eyes tiredly, yawning and stretching a little. "What happened?" she asked quietly.
"You just collapsed and I brought you to the hospital." He answered her, concerned. "Do you know why?" she asked him, drawing herself up with his help.
"Um, well they actually told me." A soft smile played on his lips. She crooked an eyebrow, worrying.
"Well, what is it?" she began to feel kind of scared when he wrapped an arm around her, waiting until she was resting with her head on his shoulder. "You're pregnant." He said lovely.
"WHAT?"

"We'll just order something." The blond muttered depressed watching his wife feeding their baby. "Aw, no Naruto-kun we'll give it another try." Dragging him on the stove, she got out the indigents for omelettes. "We'll just make some omelettes. They taste good and they are easy to cook." Mixing the indigents she poured the thick liquid into the pan, waiting until it was ready and turned it to the other side. "Wow, Hinata-chan… you gotta show me how you are able to do that within minutes." Naruto awed at his wife who just giggled in response.
"Let's eat darling," she mocked him.

"Ino." Shikamaru shook her lightly, when she didn't wake up he nudged her again. Baby blue eyes opened slowly. "What do you want?" she asked groggily. "The appointment is in about 10 minutes." Her eyes widened as she quickly got up, feeling kind of dizzy she just stopped and leaned against him.
"Relax, we still have another hour, I just wanted you to get up." He smirked when she smacked his shoulder. "You nearly gave me an heart attack, you know?" she glared at him before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

"What is that?" she asked in awe while pointing at the screen. "Well, this is our baby." Shikamaru laughed at the blonde whose eyes widened. "Aw it's so small." She poked her stomach which was covered in this see-through substance. "This is nasty." Ino added while smearing it around. "Well, you are not supposed to touch it. Troublesome."
"I'll give you troublesome." She mocked him, smearing some of the substance onto his face. Shikamaru looked horrified. "Ew… Ino this was disgusting." He roared, the doctor only raised an eyebrow at the young parents. "Well, you don't have all of this all over your belly." She retorted. "But not my face." He whined. "Do you think we could look into your head now?" her eyes widened at the idea. "I wanna see it." She squealed with glee. "This is what doctors call mood swings, isn't it?" Shikamaru asked, the doctor just nodded. "Troublesome." Smack. "Ew, Ino this is disgusting keep this stuff away from me."

"Do you have any idea where to put our baby in? We don't even have a spare room." Tenten whined into her fiancé's arms which were wrapped protectively around her still small frame. "You're only about 2 weeks pregnant, we have still some time to think about it." He whispered reassuringly into her ear. "We're just lucky that we already booked the wedding and everything's planned out." She sighed quietly.
"Aren't you happy?" he asked her after a while, titling her chin upwards to meet his gaze gently. "Of course I am… but it is just… that I lost my mother when she gave birth to me." She narrowed her eyes to the floor. "Tenten… why have you never told me?" he asked her concerned, hugging her. "It never bothered me, my dad remarried and I was never alone. His new wife couldn't bear children so she took me as her own and I called her mom my whole life, but it's just… the thought… I'm afraid." Biting her lip she held on tighter onto him. "It's going to be okay." He stroked her hair softly, kissing the top of her head. "Okay…" she whispered, burying her head into his shirt.

Hinata yawned quietly slipping into bed she turned off the light. His breath fanned her neck and she shrieked shortly when he pulled her closer. She smiled into the darkness when she felt his arms wrap around her frame. The dark haired woman turned around and snuggled closer into his chest, hearing him laughing lightly made her heart beat faster. She was surprised that he still had all those effects, even after they were married and had a child. "Goodnight." He kissed the top of her head lightly. "Night." She murmured.

Sakura. There are so many things I'd like to share with you. But I grew cold when all those things happened to my family. You're the only one, the only reason, I opened up to everyone else again. When you left it felt like you'd take my heart with you. I couldn't breath, I couldn't live. I couldn't do anything without you. I need you. So much. There's so much to say, there are so many things I would like to tell you but I knew I don't have to. You'll understand me anyways. This is why I love you. I need you. I won't let you go. I love you.
--
Sasuke, there are so many things I'd like to share with you. There is so much I want to tell you. But I know, now they're not important – not anymore. Now there's just you and me. We're here and that's all we live for, isn't it? Sasuke you are important to me and I am important too you. Shouldn't we just leave it like that? Life's too short to waste. We found each other and we need us. But why can't I just tell you all those things? Why can't I just tell you how I feel? Why can't I just tell you all those things I want, all those things I love… Sasuke I need you and I love you. I really do, I won't let you down. Never again.
She felt her breath hitch when she felt the pull. She closed her eyes and held onto Sasuke. She trusted him. Sakura held on tighter, feeling the woosh of the air all around her. It were merely two seconds but it felt like an eternity to her.
Splash. Her eyes shot open and she gasped for breath but there was only blackness around her. A grip around her tightened and she knew it was him. The coldness around her didn't fade away but she ignored it. All that mattered was Sasuke.
Seconds later they resurfaced, she gasped for air, coughing, his breath came out in ragged breaths. Their breath came out in little clouds while she gripped his shoulders to stay over the surface. "Damn Uchiha are you trying to kill us?" she glared at him. He let out a little laugh and swam towards the shore. She was cold, no, she was freezing but she didn't care it was just them swimming in the middle of the river which surrounded the building of the Uchiha Corp. When they reached land he helped her upwards and pulled himself out seconds later. She was shaking but they didn't care (they didn't care about people watching them, too) he got on top of her shivering body when she laid down. His tongue asking for entrance when he traced her lips with it. She opened up gladly playing with it before they had to break apart for oxygen. Sakura panted quietly. "You're an ass." She smiled, kissing his nose. "We'll you aren't better." He smirked while grabbing her. "Oh no, you're not going to do that." She warned him when he got closer to the river again, not setting her down.
SPLASH. "UCHIHA!" he laughed when he jumped back in beside her. Sasuke wiped her hair out of her face, her teeth chattered and he hugged her tightly while trying to stay on the surface. Sakura grabbed his shoulders and pushed him underwater. When he did not resurface she panicked thinking he died like Jake in Titanic but seconds later she was pulled down by the Uchiha himself. When they resurfaced again they laughed, a real laugh. Pulling themselves out of the water they laid on the grass, close together because it was really cold, and watched the star covered sky. "I love you." She whispered quietly, burying her head in the crook of his neck. He combed her hair with his fingers, rubbing her side to get her warmer. "I love you, too." They got up and went towards their car minutes later and got inside. He turned on the heater. "Sasuke… I want to move in with you." She said after some long minutes. 'ACHO', she sneezed. "UCHIHA!" He laughed shortly. But stopped abruptly, turning his head towards her. He watched her with an serious expression.
"Hn."
"What?!"
"I'm glad you're moving in." he smirked, grabbing her hand in his much larger one. "Very glad."
