A/N: OK so here's the thing guys. It's been a freaking long time since I updated and that's due to several reasons: I'm back in my second year of college, it's been a trying summer, lack of adequate internet connection, updating constantly on , and a lack of motivation. I have question myself (as well as my best friend) on whether I should just delete all my stories. I'm at the point of my age where I can't really write happily on fan fiction anymore. However, I have so much planned for two of my stories that it's ridiculous. This author's note is just to keep you guys updated.

First and foremost, the next chapter of the Contract will be the last.

However, there will be a sequel just because I have so much more planned for the characters and like many of you have stated there is a lot of unanswered questions and it will all be resolved in the sequel. I'm not going to give any spoilers away but I will say this: I want you guys to keep an open mind about everything. The story, no matter what happens, will be Naruto and Sakura pairing. Don't get upset if you read something you don't like. It will all work out.

My other story Show me will also be finished.

What to expect when you're expecting is currently postponed until further notice.

It kills me that I have several ideas for Naruto and Sakura pairings but I'm getting so over Fanfiction that I won't be able to write them how I want.

I can't promise when the next update will be because I haven't written it yet but I will tell you this one thing: it occurs on Christmas at the Winter Ball.

I hope to see you all soon!
