Don't own Naruto .o.o.

"talking"

'thinking'

Note: It's now April in the story and Sakura's starting up school again, and just to save time... most of the characters when thinking to themselves will call 'Ichiro' 'Ichi' for short... just to save time.

Sakura's POV

I can't believe how fast my maternity leave went by, it seems like Christmas holiday just started; and now I find myself getting ready to go back to school. The only good thing is I'm quite happy that I lost all the baby weight and am able to wear my old uniform again, it looks like I was never pregnant at all; but my two month old son is proof that I was.

He was sitting in his baby seat in the middle of the table, little feet moving a mile a minute as his expressive eyes followed me around the kitchen while I made breakfast. "Now mommy has to go to school today and you are going to stay here with daddy... you will be good for him right? No fake crying to get out of taking your nap, you know you have daddy wrapped around your finger, but we will have none of that."

"You think I let him do as he pleases huh?" Sasuke was leaning against the archway connecting the kitchen to the sitting room in a pair of plaid sleeping pants; blatantly showing off the rest of his body to me, his cocky ego has reappeared a few days ago... to my displeasure. I thought now that Ichi was here he would mature and move into the fatherly role, that was the case for a while, but now it seemed he was turning back into that horny highschool boy again.

"I know you do Sasuke, don't you remember when Hinata and I had that girls' day out last week and Naruto and you were here? When we got back the apartment was a mess, and Ichi had refused to take his nap so he was extremely crabby."

"Hn... that was one time and it was dobe's fault, it won't happen again."

"Right blame Naruto, you just won't admit that your son has you whipped."

"Hn."

"Look... I don't have time to argue about this I have to go to school and get reacquainted with everything," some time during our conversation Sasuke moved away from the wall and picked Ichi up out of his seat and that smirk that I hated appeared on his face. He knew I would want to kiss my baby goodbye before leaving, and since he was holding him meant that I would have to give him one as well. "What? You think just because you're holding my baby ransom I'll give you something?"

"No... I know you will."

'Cocky bastard.' But I gave into his demands, and once I kissed both my boys I ran over to get my bag and keys.

Oh did I forget to mention that for my birthday last month Sasuke bought me my own car. Yup! A cute little red honda, that I told him I didn't need, I was perfectly happy with taking the bus... but he is stubborn and refused to listen. So when I woke up on March 28th my 'cherry', that's what I call her, was parked next to Sasuke black mustang. I was unsure at first, I did have a driver's license but other than helping mom deliver pastries to people that ordered them but couldn't pick them up themselves. Sasuke did take me on a few drives and it was a lot easier than driving the family van.

"Okay I'm going Sasuke, don't forget that we're going over to my parents' house for dinner because mom wants to about wedding things..."

"Aa."

"Bye-Bye Ichiro-kun! Mommy loves you!"

Walking through the courtyard toward the school building felt like I was taking my last steps to the execution chamber; I was expecting the stares and whispers from the other students upon my return. Many of the student body didn't know of my condition the first half of the school year... but you had to be a complete idiot not to notice I was missing for three months.

But I wasn't worried about the talk, I only had to survive a little over a month and a half with these people; I had Hinata and Ino there and that was all I needed for friends, and besides... I was beyond the piety gossip these high school girls could dish out. I got pregnant, gave birth, and am engaged to the man I love all in less than a year, I could handle anything.

"Sakura... hey Sakura!" I turned to see my ditsy blonde best friend, I hadn't seen her since before holiday; her parents decided to take an extended vacation to Paris and of course Ino went with, so she hasn't even seen my son yet... luckily I had brought pictures. "Well where is he Sakura? I haven't been in the country for over three months and I see you're not carrying anymore... do you have a sitter watching him?"

Once we got in class, Kakashi-sensei wasn't in the room yet meaning we still had free time, and again there were whispers and stares but Ino put a stop to that as she shot everyone in the room an icy glare. Placing my bag on my desk I pulled the pictures out and handed them to her.

"Oh... he's so adorable! And look at those chubby little arms, oh I have to see him in person!" Ino's screaming drew everyones' attention, but no one dared approach the desk.

"Well you can, we're going over to my parents' tonight and I was hoping you would come with." I wasn't sure if she heard me because she was still looking through the pictures, there were quite a few there; my mother and I kind of went overboard the first few weeks... I even manage to take a few of Sasuke and Ichiro on the couch sleeping... they were really cute.

"Oh really, that'd be great... why's everyone getting together? I wouldn't be intruding would I?"

"Oh no,no,no... actually mom was hoping you would get back before we started the planning, you're decorative input would be perfect," I couldn't keep from smirking seeing her brow crease in confusion.

"Planning... planning for wh-... oh my god, he proposed!"

I watched her eyes bulge as she dropped the pictures and grabbed my left hand, examining the rock on my finger. "Shhhh! Ino keep it down!" I didn't care if anyone actually knew I was engaged, but I knew Sasuke still had a very devoted fan club in school and I didn't need them on my back the rest of the year.

"Ladies if it is alright with you, may we start class?" Kakashi-sensei's voice cut through Ino's happy dance, but she wasn't embarrassed one bit; she gave me a look that said 'we were so talking during break' then she moved over to her seat.

"Sorry sensei," I waived sheepishly, a light dusting covered my cheeks to show my embarrassment over being called out in class... not how I wanted to start back up.

But Kakashi just smiled and turned to write on the board, "It's good to have you back Haruno-san."

Note: Well Sakura is back in school... and there's more to come before graduation, everyone finds out why she wasn't there for three months... and will only go down hill from there. And the wedding needs to be planned, and both Sasuke and Sakura have a few decisions that need to be made... shocking results!
