Ch. 24 An Unexpected Surprise
Akira ran in and out of the shops in Suna looking high and low for the perfect present for Gaara, tomorrow was his was birthday and she almost missed it. She was in a coma due to so much chakra exhaustion and poisoning, the damn black dragon's claws were poisonous and when he slashed her thigh and chest she got a shit load of venom into her system, she slept through Christmas and New Years!
Akira stopped, panting she rested her hands on her knees. "Holy shit man, maybe I should really stop running." Pinching the brim of her nose she sighed, now she was getting a headache.
"You were supposed to be taking it easy." Came a husky voice.
"I am taking it easy." She smiled.
"Says the girl that's been running around Suna the entire morning." The voice was now on the back of her neck.
"You know it's creepy to stalk to people." She laughed when she felt Gaara glare at her.
"You're not people." He brushed his lips over the back of her neck as they both were engulfed in sand.
Once they were home Akira went straight to the kitchen seeing that Temari was fixing sandwiches for everyone, Neko and her fiancé, Hana, who was allowed to come back with them, Matsuri, Kouji, Kaida and a nagging Kankuro.
"Please don't burn the sandwiches!" Kankuro grumbled.
"How in the hell can I burn that?" she yelled.
"Tell that to the pudding!" he cried.
Akira laughed, taking Kankuro's plate for herself while Temari gave him a thrashing, looking at the food she frowned before going to the cabinet getting peanut butter and a banana. Smiling she spread the peanut butter, sliced the banana then smashed the sandwich back together.
"I think you're missing the syrup." Matsuri said in a disgusted voice after Akira took a bit of the 'thing'.
"You know what, you're right," she said with a mouthful getting the syrup. "Hehehe!" she laughed while pouring the substance.
"A tomato, mayo, and lettuce, cheese, onion, pickle, bacon…peanut butter and banana, syrup sandwich?" Temari said slowly as she watched the girl devourer the odd substance.
"It's really good." Akira giggled going to the refrigerator, getting the orange juice and hot sauce, then mixing the two and gulping it down. "Damn that was good…what?" she asked when everyone just stared at her.
"You just…never mind…"Kouji trailed off.
"Well if that's it, I'm hitting the hay I need a nap!" Akira grumbled, walking sluggishly up the stairs, to her and Gaara's room where she plopped on the bed. She felt so tired she didn't think she would get up, even if the house was on fire.
Hold it for a bit longer, the movie's almost over. Akira squeezed her legs tight as she tried to watch the movie Psycho, but it wasn't happening. "Fucking shit!" She leaped from her chair going to the bathroom.
"Damnit Akira, how many times do you have to take a piss!" Temari laughed.
"Shut it, you bitch!" Akira yelled from the bathroom. Drying her hands, Akira came back sitting next to Hana. The girls' decided to hang out in Temari's room for a sleepover, while the guys were over at Kouji's, and Kaida with one of the maid's kids having a play date.
"Hey, I was going to ask this earlier, but I got distracted when Akira started drooling over a pile of sand like a hungry dog…"
"I blame it on the poison, in my defense! And I wasn't going to eat it….."Akira yelled defensively, cutting Hana off.
"Suuurrre, if we didn't catch you that is!"Neko pointed.
"Cut it out the both of you," Temari giggled. "Now Hana, what was it that you wanted to ask?"
"Oh, right, why didn't Matsuri want to stay over?"
"Cause she hates the fact that I'm the fucking bestest!" Akira hollered waving her hands.
"That's not it, even though it may be true…Matsuri dislikes Akira because she's dating, slash engaged to Gaara." Temari explain after hitting Akira on the head.
"Oh, well I can understand that…"Hana muttered. The girls dropped the subject moving on to other things more interesting then the latter topic. Then Neko got the munchies.
"Hey, pass the ice cream over here!" Hana whispered as they all snuck around the kitchen.
"Then give me the cookies!" Akira quietly roared. Snatching the cookies she ran quickly to the cabinet and got the mayo dunking a cook into it with a 'YUM!' "MMMM sand and mayo sounds really good..." she murmured to herself, but the girls over heard.
"Now all you are missing are the lower back pains, fainting spells, and the vomiting and you would have the same symptoms as my mother when she was pregnant with my brother." Hana pointed out laughing.
"Not funny!" Akira yelled.
"Aww you and Gaara's kids would be so adorable!" Neko squealed.
"Stop it you guys, I'm not pregnant!" Akira huffed.
"Oh come off it Akira, we're only joking!" Hana giggled.
"Oi, since we're on the topic it reminded me, what's today? I'm supposed to start soon." Temari asked, nibbling on some Pocky.
"In about 20 minutes it will be the 19th."Neko spoke, grabbing a pocky.
"I can't believe Gaara will be 18 tomorrow." The blonde sighed.
"Wait, tomorrow's the 19th…. I-I I thought it was the 8th. …and, and…Gaara's birthday was on the 9th." Akira peeped.
"Na girl you been in the coma for 6 weeks!" Neko laughed.
"Akira, honey what's wrong?"Hana questioned seeing Akira's face go a ghostly white.
"I…I'm…I'm…late…a month and a week late…." Suddenly the room became very hot and everything started to spin.
"What are you talking about?" Neko looked confusedly between Hana and Akira.
"Now honey, just breathe in slowly and think back to when your last cycle was." Hana ordered calmly.
"It was on the sixth of December….then on the 12th ….me and Gaara…the next day was the…" Akira started to sway. "I think I'm going to be sick…"
"Did you and Gaara use protection?" Temari said worriedly, that hit the button for Akira, a button she didn't want pushed. Quickly she dives off the kitchens island and made it to the sink in enough time to empty her stomach. "I guess that's a no…"
"Drug store!" Neko popped up out of her chair.
"Hai, Neko good thinking, Mr. D's shop is twenty-four hours." Temari stated.
No, this can't be happening! I can't be a mother now! Oooh what am I going to do, how am I going to tell Gaara and MY FATHER AND HIS… not good, not good!
"Akira, calm down. Ok, it just might be a, um, miscalculation, yeah." Neko tried to comfort her friend.
"I'll go in since I'm new here," Hana spoke first. "That way no one will get suspicious."
3 minutes passed before Hana finally came out the store with four bags. Upon seeing their puzzled faces on why she held four bags she huffed out an answer. "Did you really think I was going to let you take the test by yourself?" Akira smiled at Hana, happy to have made such a good friend in a short time.
The girls ran back to the house and up to Temari's room each grabbing a bag. "Ok this is how we're going to do this."Temari started. "Neko and Akira will look at the others test , Akira will say Neko's positive or negative while Neko says Akira's, the same for me and Hana, at the end of the waited time we count to 4 then flip over the test and yell out what we see."
Akira waited for the time in a cold sweat the whole time thinking 'oh shit, oh shit'; her knee bounced with anticipation as she sat cross legged on the bed her heart was drumming to a wild beat and when she heard a ding! She nearly vomited on Temari's bed covering.
"Well, let's not all rush at once." Hana whispers as she gets off the bed. Soon the rest followed suit touching the tests.
"One for the money." Temari started.
"Two for the show." Hana added.
"Three to get ready." Akira squawked.
"Four to go!"Neko yells as they all flipped the test and shouted.
There were 2 negatives and 2 positives….
Gaara was standing out on the balcony, enjoying the cold breeze and starry night thinking about a certain white haired girl, when a feeling of nervousness entered his stomach and instantly knew the feeling belonged to Akira. His stomach squeezed making him want to gag as a cold sweat coated his body and an aching pain in his lower back.
"Something's wrong," Shukaku roared.
"Hey Gaara are you okay?" Taku asked, coming to stand next to him on the balcony seeing the redhead resting heavily against the railing.
"I'm going to check on Akira." Then he disappeared in a swirl of sand. Reappearing in front of his sister's door he knocked once before going in, he only had eyes for Akira he could care less about the others indecency.
"Gaara, wh-what are you doing here?"He watched his fiancé come over from the flaming trashcan where all the girls were sitting and gave him a peck on the lips.
"What happened?" he asked getting straight to the point.
"Nothing babe, why?"She smiles holding him close.
"Don't lie, I know something happened."He spoke low enough for only her to hear, distress crossed her face but it was too quick for him to be sure if he didn't imagine the expression.
"I'll tell you later." She mumbles looking up at him with her chin on his chest.
"Hey Gaara are the guys ok?" Hana butted in hoping to distract Gaara.
He nodded grabbing Akira's hand and dragging her out the room, into theirs and up to the roof before saying something. "Tell me."
"Nothing happened, why are you are so worried hon?" She flinched under his glare.
"I felt your nervousness." He said quietly.
Akira had guilt bubbling in her stomach as she withheld very important factor that could change their lives forever. She wasn't even sure if he wanted to be a father, hell she wasn't even sure she was ready. This was such a big deal she shouldn't be keeping this from him but she didn't know if she could tell him.
"Well, you see…the girls and I were talking about, you know the future with us getting married and all…well…um the conversation got to the point on kids…and I guess I got worked up over nothing…the girls were teasing on how cute our kids will be and yeah hehe." The guilt seemed to increase as she only told him the half truth.
"So…uh, would you…uh, want kids…?"She continued after he didn't say anything on the matter. She saw his eyes widen a little at the question before sitting on the ledge of the roof.
"I never…thought about it." He spoke softly. "I don't…think…I would be a good father." Taking a seat next to him she took his arm wrapping his arm around her.
"Don't say that, I think you would be a great father." She kissed his cheek. "You are great with Kaida…Once you warmed up to her… just think about something that a little bit of you and me."
When he shook his head, Akira started to panic, the damage was already done, and there was no way they could go back…unless she…
"Akira," Gaara spoke bring her out her thoughts. "You can tell me anything you know." She smiled snuggling closer to her heart's mate.
"Before I left for our mission I use to hear the villagers talk about you." She mumbled into his neck, she felt him shift to look at her but she didn't move from his neck. "You shouldn't listen to what the villagers say. You're not a monster. I may not know a lot about your past and I really don't care to know because the man I know isn't so monstrous but caring in his own way. So don't let what the villagers say keep you from happiness," She looked up from his neck and into his eyes. "You're the only person I know who deserves to be happy, I think if we ever had kids you would love them so much, people would start to think you were a different person." She leaned in and kissed the man next to her, a sweet loving kiss.
"Akira." Said girl turned to the sound of Hana's voice to see a very pale friend.
"Hana, what wrong?" Gaara helped Akira up, going to her.
"The Kazekage wants to see us." Her voice cracked at 'see' giving Akira the clue that something went wrong, very wrong.
As Akira followed Hana with Gaara next to her, she felt her heart start to race, what had happen when her and Gaara left and why is Hana, so pale? Entering the living room, she saw the rest of the group of guys and girls sitting around the coffee table with her father and the Kage, what lay on the table made her stomach clench. A pregnancy test.
"So, now that we are all here, dose anyone care to explain why I came from my room to find the girls burning about four bags of pregnancy tests?" the kage asked. Akira shot the girls a "WTF HAPPENED!" look only to get the "HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO FUCKING KNOW" look back.
"It was a dare…" Hana started hoping the girl's would catch on.
"Yeah, you see I dared Hana to go and buy the tests." Neko joined.
"Then I dared everyone to take a test." Temari added.
"And I got the idea to burn the pregnancy tests because we feared this would happen…so yeah." Akira finished. It was half the truth; they didn't need to know the other half.
"So it was a dare?" Akira's father asked.
"Yup."
"And none of you are pregnant?" the Kazekage queried.
"Yes." The girls chorused.
"Well, if I wasn't the Kazekage, I would have believed all your bullshit… but I am the Kage so stop lying and tell me the truth!" he boomed the ending. "Now Hana I can't do anything to you but I can to Kankuro, as for Neko and Taku, since your partners asked for me to watch over for some time, you will abide by my rules just as much as my children and Akira, and if no one starts talking soon, I will be sure to take the matter in-
"IT WAS ONLY ONE TIME!" Neko cried running out the living room. Upon see Taku's ghostly face she knew he was thinking the same.
"Now look what you've done, you sent her back into the panic mode!" Akira yelled at the kage.
"Watch your volume." He hissed.
"Your one to talk!" she shot back.
"Watch it or—
"Or what? You'll call my mother? Good cause I need to talk to her!"
"I'll kick you out of my village!"He snapped at her but she only grinned.
"Who knew that's all it took to get back home," she laughed. "Just become a ninja then piss you off and bye, bye wedding."
"Well then I guess I should boost up the wedding?"He sneered only to make her laugh again.
"Gaara must not have told you." She turned to Gaara to see amusement dancing in his eyes, he was enjoying this just as much as her. "Me and Gaara are going out now, who knew." She sighed happily. "Oh before I forget…Neko isn't the only one that's pregnant." when she said this she was looking dead into Gaara's eyes. "That's the reason for my panic and Robert." She turns to face her father. "You have some explaining to do about a little voice inside my head, Amaterasu." The soon to be mother left the room before any of the three males had a chance to say anything. Going up stairs to find Neko in one of the hundred hall closets, she joined her friend.
"So, did you tell them too?" Neko sniffled.
"Yeah…"she answered the darkness.
"What happened?"
"I left before they could say something."
"What now?"
"Well we either keep the baby or abort it…or give it up…"Akira murmurs.
"Have you thought about…abortion?"
"Yeah." She squeaked. "You?"
"Yeah."
"What about adoption?"
"Yes, I thought about that too."
"Same here…do you think you are ready to be a mom?" Akira asked.
"I don't know, I mean me and Taku are still kids, so are you and Gaara…sure we're about to be 18 but still…this is a giant leap."
"I know…"Akira started to cry. "I don't even think Gaara's ready, we were talking on the roof and, and…" she couldn't even finish her statement as her sobs took over, soon joined by Neko's crying hiccups. Later the two ended up falling asleep in the small cramped closet holding the others hand.
