send me a number from here (x) and I'll write you a fic #39 - "Don't cry"

Not one word, not one look, but the act of her right hand softly caressing her stomach was all it took to bring tears to his eyes.

Silence consumes them while he stands paralyzed a couple of feet away from her, his eyes studying her stomach until the sweet sound of her voice barely breaks the silence.

"Don't cry."

Her voice is soft, and it doesn't take much to notice the difference in her voice. It's hoarse and sounds as if she was struggling to say those two simple words.

"Please, don't cry. I-I thought you would be happy."

Sasuke attempts to open his mouth, but no words spill out, instead tears continue to spill from his eyes. His eyes do not break contact with her stomach even after she stopped fondling her stomach.

"Sasuke-kun," she pleads, her voice more desperate, "please don't cry. When I see you cry, it makes me cry." She sniffs and her hands leaves her stomach to wipe the tears from her face.

After managing to unroot his feet he swiftly walks towards her and engulfs her in his arms, holding her against him. His quick actions causes Sakura to gasp and stiffen, but she soon melts against him; her arms hesitated a bit before softly wrapping themselves around her husband.

He leans his forehead down and rests it on her shoulder. One of her arms softly runs its way up his back and entangles itself in his onyx hair.

"I am happy, Sakura," he says into her shoulder blade.

He feels her arm tighten around his waist and he raises his forehead from her shoulder and looks her straight in her eyes.

Her red rimmed emerald eyes search his obsidian eyes for an answer, for a clue as to what he might say next.

Not breaking eye contact with her he continues on: "You made me the happiest man when you agreed to be with me, when you agreed to marry me and be my wife, and now, now, you've made me feel like not only the happiest, but also the luckiest man now knowing that we're pregnant."

A faint smile breaks across his face which is mirrored across hers, but hers gradually grows into a large one as her other arm makes its way up his face to wrap around his neck.

"These aren't tears of sadness," he explains.

She looks down between them, glad that her news didn't make them him disappointed, but actually made him feel the opposite way.

"Your sadness is my sadness," she says meeting his eyes, "and your happiness is my happiness."

His faint smile turns into a playful smirk as he leans his forehead down towards hers, closing his eyes in the process to savor the moment. Sakura's own eyes close soon after.

Silence overtakes them yet again, but this time its more comfortable silence than the previous.

"Thank you."

a/n: I accidentally made them both cry, whoops. I'm terribly sorry for the super duper long wait, anon! To the other anons that requested prompts, I will get them done (shortly) for I have returned from my unplanned hiatus :)
