Sorry this took a bit. Didn't exactly help that I changed the idea for this chapter a few times. Though I think this way works out a lot better with how everything is going. Also I hope to go back through and fix mistakes in the chapters. I reread a chapter and found a couple. I guess sometimes it takes me stepping back before I find them.


I heard the sound of machines when I finally regained consciousness. The lights above me were too bright so I shielded my eyes as I sat up. What happened?

"Sakura!" Temari ran into the room. "Are you alright? Everything okay? You scared me half to death."

"I'm." I paused for a second. "As good as I can be." I really wasn't sure how I should feel. "Is it true?"

"Yes." Temari gave me a sympathetic look.

"Does he know?" I really hoped he didn't.

Temari looked kind of nervous. "Yes."

"How?!" I hadn't told him obviously. I was hoping to have time before I had to come to the realization that Gaara was my fucking kids father.

Temari bit her lip. "He heard you collapsed. The doctors had to tell him since you are under his care while you are here. It would be bad for a Konoha ninja to get hurt while helping Suna. The fact you are pregnant was brought up. They didn't know it's his…."

"Is he here?" I really didn't want to deal with this. Could I escape before he showed up? Did I even have time?

"He will be arriving shortly." With that I ran out of the room. This is not happening. "Sakura!" I heard Temari yell after me but I didn't stop.

I needed to leave. Go home, escape. Be away from all of this. I was freaking out and not thinking rationally but I needed to escape. Every part of me screamed for me to leave. To go back to my home. I darted down the street heading for the way out of my nightmare. Hopefully Gaara would be preoccupied with the hospital long enough for me to get away.

I could see the blurred faces of confusion as I ran past people but I didn't care. It would probably reach Gaara but hopefully I would be long gone by then. Once my feet touched the outside of the village I ran in the direction of Konoha. Hoping I would somehow be able to make it home before he found me.

No longer could I see the village in the distance when another wave of nausea hit me. I collapsed to my knees and threw up what was left in my stomach. Tears started falling from my eyes. "How could I let this happen." I cried for myself, cried for my unborn child, cried because of everything that had happened. My life would never be the same.

Sand started to swirl around me and I knew he had found me. "Do you really think you could escape me?" His voice was laced with anger. "Did you know?" He growled out.

"No. I just found out." I couldn't stop the tears anymore.

"Did you plan this?!" Gaara rarely yelled. Rarely raised his voice. He was furious.

"Why!? Why do you blame me!? I never wanted this! Never wanted you!" I started to dry heave. Nothing left in my stomach but my body wanted everything out. It was painful but I couldn't make it stop.

"You tried to run. Knowing it is my child! Are you really that stupid. Do you really think I'd let you escape?!" I couldn't see his face but I knew I didn't want to either.

"Stupid! I am not…" Again the nausea hit me. It took everything in me not to start hurling again "I am not stupid! What did you expect. I'm pregnant with cold-hearted Gaara's child. Did you really think I want a child raised by you?" I looked like a mess. Vomit at my knees, face red from crying, and trying to argue with Gaara. I really must be dreaming but this pain felt oh to real.

"You are returning with me. NOW!" He went to grab my arm but I jerked it out of his grasp.

"Don't touch me!" I wanted to go home. My real home. Not the hell I was now living in.

"Do you really think you can fight me?" I tried to escape but his sand snatched my arm preventing me from running anymore. The one time I wish it would betray him it didn't.

"Let me go!" I tried to fight his sand but no matter what I did it refused to loosen its grip on me. I tried everything I could to escape but I felt weak, really weak. I had just run who knows how far while pregnant, and with no food in my stomach. Part of me was disappointed in myself.

I had not been thinking clearly at all and look where it got me. A pissed off Gaara chasing me into the desert. The rumors were going to kill me before the truth even got back to Konoha.

"We are going back now." He never touched me. His sand carried me the entire way back. Back to my hell. Back to where nothing made sense and I was pregnant with Gaara's child.
