I apologise now if the layout is like, crap, cos it won't let me view it to edit it on the Document Manager so i'm having to edit it on my actual computer and hope for the best :L.

I'm sorry about the wait :/ a lot of shit has been hitting the fan lately so, meh.

I have the second part to this 'chapter' ready on my computer. If i get 3 ( i know, 3!) reviews then i shall put it up tomorrow at the latest. If i don't get 3 then i'll just give up hope and post it anyway xD I have 10 weeks of summer ahead of me, so it's llikely it'll be finished by the end of that haha.

Anyway, enough rambling, i hope you enjoy after the long wait!

Je ne possède pas les caractères. Je viens de l'histoire propre ;)

(i do not own the characters. i just own the story ;) )

After a good sparring session, well, as good as Itachi going easy on Sakura because of her "condition" (you can imagine how pissed she was) Itachi and Sakura made their way back to Itachi's room and settled themselves back in the warmth of the bed and each other.

Darkness was beginning to fall. It had been a long day for both Itachi and Sakura, and frankly, she was wiped out. But no matter how fatigued she felt she couldn't get her mind to rest.

She tried to relax her mind by listening to Itachis soft breathing and light snoring (she would rip him about it in the morning ) but it only made the silence become more prominent.

She sighed. Her thoughts were too jumbled she didn't know where to start. She couldn't believe that a one night stand could lead to something like this! Well, obviously she did, but she didn't think it would happen to her. Not wanting to sound whoreish or anything, but she'd had a one-off fling with one of the other medic nins at the hospital.

She was drunk, they didn't use a condom, she wasn't on the pill. No baby. Change the medic nin to Itachi Uchiha.

Minus being drunk, they didn't use a condom, she wasn't on the pill. Baby. Go firgure. Maybe it was a sign from the big man himself that this was meant to be the way it was. Either that or he did it on purpose so she could suffer like this. She figured it was the latter.

She thought of how the S-class criminal spooning her body could become a loving Dad. Could his heart commit to all this love? She snickered.

But the humour soon faded and again her mind was once again filled with doubts. What was she thinking? Honestly? She couldn't be a Mother! She couldn't commit herself to a tiny person created out of lust, not love. She had friends, a career still to think about (She hoped) and to top it all off, the Akatsuki. She was royally screwed.

It was unlike Sakura to cry, bugt she'd been doing it a lot lately, she had an excuse.

The sadness over took her in one crashing wave of dispair.

She stifled a sob and got up from the bed, careful as to not wake the sleeping beauty. She needed to get away, away from everything, to escape.

She wandered aimlessly through to the kitchen. She got a glass out of the cupboard and poured herself a glass of water. Dammit! why is everything so friggin' complicated! Tightening her grip on the glass she threw it to the wall in anger. She needed to get out, to taste the fresh air on her tongue, to escape.

She found her way, somehow, outside. She didn't intend to runaway. She knew it'd be pointless. It was tempting but for the moment she just needed freedom.

She sat down on a fallen tree log and gazed up at the stars. As the darkness became ever more promenent, more stars appeared in the night sky, like candles lit by the Gods. Taking a shaky breath, she felt the tears begin to slide down her pale face. This is what she needed, this release.

She cried until it turned into full blown out sobbing. More than anything at the moment, she was scared.

Scared that she was reacting the way she was. Scared of being a mother and having to care for another person other than herself. Scared of her growing relationship with Itachi and scared because the escape the she was craving was impossible.

Afterall, how can you escape from yourself?

She sat like that for a while, ingulfed with mixed emotions. It was like she no longer had control over herself.

Damn pregnancy.

Wrapping her arms closer around herself, she wanted nothing more than to be home in the hustle and bustle of Konoho.

She wanted nothing more than to smell the familar smells of Ino's flower shop, and the smells

from the ramen stall.

She wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by her friends and the people she knew. Her two best friends and her fellow collegues Ino and Hinata, and Konoha's residant dobe Naruto.

But on top of all that, she wanted to be held, and to be told everything would be alright.

But honestly, would it? She didn't know. She just didn't know.

tadahh (:

again sorry for the wait!
