Here's another chapter. Sorry it took so long been going through some stuff. I know how this story is going so it won't be forgotten but chapters will be sporadic.
When I opened my eyes the sky was dark,an arm was wrapped around me. The clock on the table read 6:15. My friends were supposed to arrive last night and I slept through their arrival. Naruto must have been upset especially after everything that happened.
Sighing I got out of bed. It still called to me but my full bladder refused to be ignored. Once finished I returned to the room. I looked at Gaara. He was still sound asleep. I sat on the edge of the bed, brushing his hair away from his face. I wouldn't be able to leave this. Everyone back in Konoha would probably be upset but I doubt I would be able to leave. I knew too much has happened since I arrived.
I placed a hand on my stomach. Staying was what was best for our child. They needed both parents in their life. I sighed knowing it was what was best but still wondering what could be.
"How are you feeling." I jumped at the sound of his voice, not expecting him to be awake.
"Alright." A little sore to be honest but I didn't want him to worry. He might refuse to let me train more if that happened. "You let me sleep later than I should have. Was Naruto upset?"
"He will be fine." Arms wrapped around me pulling me back on to the bed. I felt his breath tickle my ear. "They want to meet for breakfast." He nuzzled his face in my hair. "I don't want to share though."
A small smile appeared on my face. Gaara really cared for me. He really changed over the years. Part of me was still surprised at the change.
We laid in bed until it was finally time to meet everyone. "Come on let me go." Arms tightened around me. "Do you want Naruto to bust into your room?" We both knew he would. Gaara sighed before letting me get up. "Thank you." I used to be embarrassed undressing in front of people especially after I got pregnant but now it just felt natural for me. I laid a hand on my stomach before pulling my shirt over my head. Just a couple more weeks and we can find out their gender.
Pulling on my shirt I headed towards the door. "So where are we meeting them?"
"A small diner not far from here." Gaara walked ahead of me leading the way.
I was really nervous. Did they know I was pregnant? Would they be upset? I was starting to doubt myself. Taking a deep breath I walked through the door. Time to get this over with.
"Sakura!" Arms went to grab me but were stopped short.
"Idiot you know she's pregnant. " Welp they know. I looked up to see Ino holding on to Naruto and Kakashi sitting in the booth. Kakashi wasn't looking our way, his face buried in his usual book.
Ino released him and he fell to the floor. She looked at me before walking over and gently wrapping her arms around me. "Forehead I've missed you."
I smiled at the use of my old nickname. "I've missed you as well Ino-pig."
Naruto jumped up and wrapped his arms around us. "I'm glad you're safe."
I heard a cough and looked up to see Kakashi staring at us. "Let's order." We nodded and sat down, Naruto next to Kakashu, Ino to my left and Gaara to my right.
"So how's it like being pregnant? Any cravings? Morning sickness?"
I had to think. Have I had cravings? You always hear of women who eat things like pickles and ice cream but I haven't had any of that. "No cravings. Also I am a medic-nin. I can prevent morning sickness really easily." It wasn't a lie. Just a small amount of chakra was all it took to prevent nausea which thankfully I haven't had a ton of. "Getting used to the extra weight though." I placed a hand on my stomach. "We find out the gender in a little over a week."
Ino squealed. "Are you wanting a boy or a girl?"
I looked over at Gaara. Did I have a preference? Did he? " I haven't thought of it too much honestly. As long as they are healthy we are happy."
The rest of the meal went by relatively easily. Naruto of course was upset that I didn't tell him before now, Ino wanting every detail and Kakashi sitting in the corner silently eating.
"Comere." Ino grabbed my arm pulling me out of my chair once the meal ended. She pulled me out the door. "You okay with all of this?" I gave her a confused look. "You know his past and everything. I know they say he's changed and all but I know how he nearly killed you."
I sighed. "Were Shinobi all of us have killed people." I paused for a second. "Some more than others but he's changed."
Ino looked at me then squealed. "Okay good because I want details. How did you guys get together? Is he a good kisser? How is he in bed?"
I blushed looking at Ino. Today was going to be a long day.
