Life seems to just keep holding me back from this story. Been fighting a lot of depression lately. Don't want to go in to complete details. Just glad to finally updated this chapter.

Gaara gently laid me on the bed and stood there for a second. "I will be back." He then turned and disappeared into the bathroom. I sat up and dangled my feet off the edge of the bed. How do we even go about all of this? Go on a date? Talk? Ignore everything? I felt like I was saying the same things over and over again with no change. Nothing was different. Everything was just more confusing.

I turned around when I heard a door open and there stood Gaara in nothing but a…..towel. My face turned red and I shoved a pillow in my face. "Why are you naked!" My muffled screams could barely be heard or at least he didn't respond to them.

I stole a peek when I heard another door open and saw Gaara grabbing clothes out of his right this is still his room. He then dropped the towel and I quickly covered my face again. Gaara apparently wasn't one who cared much about these type of things but here I was turning as pink as my hair. Let alone the thought of him seeing me naked again. My face felt even warmer at that thought.

I heard Gaara snicker and I threw the pillow forgetting what it's purpose being in my face was. Thankfully he was fully dressed and was now holding the pillow in his hand. "Of course you think this is funny." I paused for a second. Time to get this over with. "So what are we going to do about this?" I pointed at my stomach not sure if I could even say it. "Temari told me what she knows." Or at least what she was willing to spill. Gaara didn't speak. Maybe he was as confused as I was. "I don't know how this is suppose to work. Do we just I don't know. We already skipped half of a normal relationship and I'm not even sure what we should do. Date? How do we even attempt that? Force a marriage? Just I don't know and everything is confusing and I'm just lost." I was starting to ramble and I knew it.

My stomach started to feel weird. It wasn't a nauseous weird more of the child was yelling at me weird. I tried to rub my stomach this feeling wouldn't stop at least not until another hand touched my stomach. I never noticed Gaara move but now he was kneeling in front of me with a hand on my stomach. "I feel like they know you're the father."

Gaara looked almost shocked at the news or at least shocked for his range of emotions. It is always hard to tell what he is thinking. "Really?" He had this almost childlike hope is his eyes. He never really had a family until recently. No parents, his only uncle wasn't exactly who he thought he was. He was torn apart from his siblings because of everything that was thrust upon him.

I gently laid my hand on his. "They respond to you. When you touched my stomach they calmed down. It's happened a few times now." Could things be different? "Gaara do you think this will actually work out?" My eyes started to fill with tears. I was scared and I wasn't sure what to do. I felt Gaara shift but wasn't able to focus on what he was doing.

Suddenly and without warning I felt his lips on mine. Part of me wanted to push him away but part of me enjoyed it. When his lips left mine I felt disappointed? He must have noticed that because he spoke. "Was that wrong? Temari told me to do it?" Temari is praying off of Gaara's innocent, naive side of Gaara. The side he didn't show that often.

"Don't listen to everything Temari says okay?" I wasn't entirely mad at Gaara, more of annoyed at Temari for feeding this things to her naive brother. "Let's start slow okay. Lunch? Or something?"

"Alright lunch then." He quickly stood up, which left me confused.

"Gaara?"

"I have to go." He then left the room.

What just happened? I couldn't dwell on it long because I saw Temari and Kankuro trying to sneak away from behind the door. "Temari." She froze when I said her name. "Do you know what happened?"

She looked happy that I wasn't yelling at her anymore. "He had a meeting. It's important."

"Meeting?"

"There is an uprising towards the Northeast of our land that could start a war if they get many more followers. They have already been attacking our trades and they are getting closer to the village." This time it was Kankuro who spoke.

Temari spoke next. "He lost track of time and was about to be late. He's not the best with good byes. Especially with how everything seemed to be going in here." She gave me a sly look.

"About that. Stop giving your brother relationship advice." I glared at her. "You know he is naive enough in relationships to believe it."

She smirked. "Not my fault you enjoyed it."

"Temari remember what happened last time you upset me?" This time it was my chance to smirk and the look on her face fell. It may be an unwanted side effect of me being pregnant but that didn't mean I wouldn't use it to my advantage.

I suddenly felt really tired. Today was very emotional for me and it was suddenly taking a toll on my body. "You should rest Sakura. We will wake you when dinner is ready if you would like us to." Kankuro looked worried.

"No I'll be fine. It should only be a quick nap." With that they left and I closed the door behind them. A nap really did sound good.

Like a naive Gaara sometimes. Temari likes to feed him lots of relationship advice lol. R&R
