Pregnancy?
Holding a child in your womb…
someone of your own…
loving your child…
having the child's father by your side…
proof of communion…
that was what being pregnant meant, didn't it?
Could I be pregnant? I couldn't be pregnant…there is no way, no fucking way. There was no communion, no declarations of love, just lust… but I also wasn't so naive to believe that it wasn't a possibility.
"Sakura?"
Oh. I forgot about Ami. I had broken out in cold sweat and knew I had to end the conversation, there was something I had to do. "I-I remembered something! I have to go now! Bye!" I gathered my books and took one last look at her confused face before darting off.
Did he use condoms? Did I just not remember? I willed my brain to remember him slipping on the protection. Oh God, please I beg of you, let that be true. I tried my hardest to remember, closing my eyes tight, just focusing on the memory I had pushed back to the furthest of my mind. I came up blank.
I drove to the nearest pharmacy and taking deep breaths, I took the first pregnancy test I saw off the shelf. Wow. It was amazing that people did this everyday without feeling the same tension.
The short trip to the counter was a long one, and when I finally did make it there my hands wouldn't stop trembling. My head had darted back and forth hoping no one that I knew was there.
What would I say to them? "Oh hey! Yup, I'm buying a pregnancy test because there might be a slight chance of me being pregnant, that's all…" Was that even an answer I could say? Was I capable of passing it off as if it was something people do on a normal basis? Probably not, I was too tense and the matter was too serious.
To most women, becoming pregnant meant happiness, pure happiness. It awed them to know the two opposite sex parents created life...the miracle of life, but in my mind there was no happiness, just empty unbelieving thoughts.
I reached the elderly lady who was at the cashier. She had given me a warm smile to which I responded by giving a weak one of my own. Even a small simple task that once came to me as if breathing became difficult.
It truly was ironic. I've watched this scene on a movie screen once and I remember laughing at the bad acting. Now it was someone else's turn to do the laughing.
She had chattered about her younger days telling me about the first time she had thought she was pregnant. "Dan was very surprised when I dragged him to buy a pregnancy test for the first time! Oh you should have seen his face! Ahh… I remember his face…" she smiled at me.
I felt anxious and I snapped at the lady to hurry up, "J-just hurry up!" I felt anxious, but also a bit jealous. Why wasn't anyone with me, why was I alone?
She looked shocked and broke her chatter. I was shocked, did I just snap at someone? I stuttered an apology and paid for it, before getting the hell out of there. Tears were threatening to fall as I slammed the door to my car shut.
My phone rang.
Did I hear it? Yes, I did.
Did I want to pick up? Yes, I did.
Did I want to talk? …Yes, I did.
Why was I so nervous? Anxious? There was only a small chance…a tiny chance-a one in a million.
I've heard about girls who accidentally got pregnant and at that time, I had scoffed at those girls thinking, 'silly girls...' Some would say this situation was Karma, but I thought it was just a load of bad luck.
But, did I pick up the phone? No, I didn't, I couldn't. My mind processed the procedure to pick up the phone. Move your hand…flip open your phone…say hello. Why couldn't I pick up?
There were just some moments in life in which you could do nothing but stare and wonder what was wrong with you. I supposed that this was my moment.
I moved my hand.
The phone stopped ringing.
Put the keys in…turn on the ignition…change the car from park to reverse…drive…Why was this so difficult?
The drive back to the dorm was a silent one for me.
It was just me and the uneasy air around me. I reached the parking lot and parked the car. This new emptiness had built up inside of me, I didn't know what to think or do. I was scaring myself. Grabbing the bag that contained the test and I slowly headed towards my room, nodding my head at the people I knew.
Each step I took was heavier than the last. Could I just turn around and return the test? Pretend it never happened?
Like most normal kids, I have done something bad and of course I pretended that it never happened. But since Life's a bitch, my mind remained restless until I atoned for what had happened.
Step, step…
I reached the room. I stood in front of our decorated door (We had divided it diagonally and the top half was covered in pink tissue paper with random pink glitters while the bottom was covered in a reddish-purple.).
Taking a deep breath, I took a step inside, hoping I would be the only one there. I was.
I set the little box on the table and sat down staring at it. Just pee on the stick and wait…that's all I had to do.
(Blink….blink)
There was no turning back if I took the test and it turned to be positive. I would've seen some signs if I truly were pregnant, wouldn't I? I wasn't very moody; the last time I retched was a few days after I had sex.
Had I changed? Had my body changed? I prodded my stomach. Was there a living being inside of me? I began to feel the anxiety again...the feeling sucked...too bad the sex didn't.
What would happen if I was pregnant? I knew I should just take the test and close that chapter of my life, but if it was positive then it would create an uproar.
but If I truly were pregnant, test or no test, the fact would remain the same...I would be pregnant with the child created by accident.
I sat, slightly hunched, for over thirty minutes, just staring.
Sometimes, being alone was the answer...just some time to think for yourself.
I only moved when I heard the voice of Ino at the door. Making my decision, I grabbed the box and hid it under my mattress.
I wasn't going to think about it. I told him I was going to forget whatever had happened, so I was...

Back pains. Something all women eventually experience one way or another, whether they want to or not.
For the past few days, my back had been aching and more than once, I thought about just breaking it because I knew it would eventually get better.
Women go through more pain than men, why can't they (men) go through the damned hell women do?
Tenten looked up lazily from her nails and said that it was the fourth time I had complained in the last two hours. I did not complain that many times, and even if I did, it most certainly wasn't my fault I was in extreme pain.
"Let's watch a movie," said the blonde haired girl sitting next to me.
A movie, another distraction, a distraction I was willing to accept.
The other day, I had seen Sasuke walking towards my direction and I had immediately frozen as unwanted, unneeded memories and thoughts evolved.
What would he do if I was with his child? Would he even care? Should I even tell him of my fears? Had he ever impregnated another person before? All I wanted to do at that moment was oh so desperately take my brains out so I couldn't think.
Just thinking and remembering made me want to just give up…but what would I give up to? There was nothing to give up to, nothing. How could I give up to him when there was no relation between me and him?
I did what other woman in my position would do, I made a 180 degree turn and walked away, my ears betraying me, listening to Sasuke talk to Takahashi.
Stupid thoughts.
"Juno," I said suddenly. They looked questionably at me, "Juno, lets watch Juno," I repeated.
Ino shrugged and got up to get the movie.
The movie began.
She was pregnant at such a young age. Would I turn out to be like her? I burst out crying.
"Sakura? Are you okay?" Tenten and Ino were concerned.
I didn't know what to say.
Something was wrong with Sakura-chan. I knew there was and it hurt that she didn't trust me enough to tell me; we had known each other for a long time, and I had gone to her with every problem I had ever faced (well I kept some manly issues to myself); I thought she did the same.
"Hinata-chan?" I asked the shy girl who was sitting next to me enveloped in my arms. MMmmMmm she smelled good.
We were watching a movie she wanted to watch badly, Made of Honor.
Chick flicks…
My mind had wandered in and out of the movie. In all honesty I never liked watching chick flicks, but I would do anything for the girl in my arms. Men in love truly are slaves…
Thoughts like what I wanted to do with Hinata entered my mind.
Dirty thoughts… I knew she wouldn't sleep with me; she wanted to wait until after marriage like what most morale people do. I really was okay with her dream, but my self-control wavered when I was around her. I wasn't going to pressure her because I couldn't hurt her to save my life. I would wait with her because in the end it would be worth the wait, but it didn't help the fact that she was cuddled up to me…in the dark…on the couch…where there was no one…
I shook my head, I had to stop thinking about that before I did something I would regret.
She looked up at me with her beautiful eyes. I couldn't help but drop a kiss in her dark hair when she looked at me with her innocent eyes. God, I love this girl.
She reached up to cup my cheeks, "W-what's wrong Naruto-kun?" I loved the way she said my name, it never failed to make me shiver. I shivered.
"What's wrong with Sakura-chan?" I wasn't so stupid that I couldn't see that she faked happiness so I wouldn't worry. I humored her for a few days but enough was enough, I hadn't seen a true smile come out of her for quite some time, something was wrong. I knew she would tell Hinata, and normally I wouldn't push myself into the girly problems they had, but even I could tell it was something major and I wanted to do everything I could to help her.
"Nani?" She was stunned. I could see it in her huge eyes and I knew that question bothered her though she tried to hide it. There was something big, something major going on.
The bagpipes from the movie were playing in the background, and normally I would inwardly scoff at the loud annoying music, but I ignored it.
"What's wrong with her?" I repeated.
She was coming out of her shock. I could imagine her brains whirring to come up with the right answer that would be okay for me and Sakura-chan. "W-what are you t-talking about?" she stuttered, with obvious distress in her voice.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, in a more soothing and quieter tone I repeated my question for the third time,
"Sakura-chan…What's wrong with her? I know she has been hiding something from me, what is it?" I opened them and saw in her eyes the dilemma. Should she tell me what was going on or should she protect Sakura from me knowing?
"I-I can't tell you that, Gomen, Naruto-kun…"she turned back to watch the movie, I could still feel the anxiety in her shoulders. She was tense. Something that I heard a while back entered my mind.
Quietly, I asked, "Are the rumors true?...Did Sasuke sleep with Sakura-chan?"
She whipped her head towards me, I saw the truth in her eyes.
"What do you mean what's wrong?" false happiness was in my voice, "the movie is just emotional, that's all…just emotional."
There was something wrong, I just can't tell you guys yet…
"But it's only half way in the mov…"
I cut her off, shrilly saying, "I'm just very emotional! That's it!"
Tenten was taken back, I never was like this towards Ino; I told her everything.
"Sakura, is there something you're not telling us?" Tenten asked softly, turning off the movie.
There is something, I'm just not sure about it yet…I don't want to be sure about it…
"There is nothing I haven't told you guys! Why can't you just…" leave me alone…was I about to say that? What had happened to me? "…understand? I'm just…emotional" my voice breaking.
"All right…okay…tell us when you're ready, we'll always be here…"
I nodded and turned the movie back on.
Chapter 3...Not much Sasusaku action, but bear with me, and I will make sure they have an interaction in the next chapter. So not much happened except Naruto found out the secret and Saku bought the test. hmm... was a rather thoughtful chapter, i hope to have more action in the next one
Was this better?
