I think this is one of my favorite chapters so far. I hope you guys enjoy it as well. I'm glad I'm getting back in to writing because my chapters are starting to look like normal. Still not as big as many but 1k words is a good start for now.

I sat on the floor for a few more minutes trying to figure out what had just happened. Was he upset by my question? Why would he be? We didn't have a relationship. We just got drunk and slept together one day. Wait. Gaara told me he doesn't require sleep and has been known not to sleep even after losing the one tail. Was he awake that entire night? My face turned the color of my hair and I couldn't figure out if he was or not. I really hope the alcohol made him fall asleep. I hope he forgot the whole thing. Was he having the dreams too? I needed to find out what he knew about that night.

Standing up I quickly got dressed not caring that my hair was a mess and walked to his study hoping to find him there. Knock, knock. "Gaara?" No response. "Are you in here?" Again no response. I opened the door slowly. "I wanted to talk to you." The room was empty. "Where could he be?"

I went down the stairs and a tray of food in the kitchen with my name on it. Someone made me food again? I never heard anyone else in the house besides Gaara and his siblings. Did Gaara make this? My stomach starting to growl gave me little care to think about who actually made the food. Sitting down I started to eat when Temari walked in. "Temari."

"Hmm?"

"Does Gaara cook?" No one else was home but him so he was my only option.

"He knows how to but not often. Kankuro or I generally cook. Why do you ask?" I showed her the card on the table with my name on it. I didn't know Gaara's writing but maybe she would. "He's listening to me." After she said that she got wide eyed not realizing she had spoken out loud at first.

"What is he listening too Temari?" I dropped my utensils and glared at her. She had a part in this didn't she?

"N-nothing." She started to back away from me.

"What did you mean?" I was not letting this slide. I started standing up when she ran. "Temari!" I was not letting this slide and darted after her. She ran out the back and when I chased her I saw a shirtless Gaara training. I froze for a second then remembered Temari. "Gaara don't let her escape!" He looked at me confused then realized Temari was trying to dart past him. His sand quickly caught her and held her midair.

"No fair! You are my brother you are suppose to be helping me escape." Gaara just shrugged and ignored her struggles.

"Thank you." I said as I grabbed Temari's arm and walked back inside. "Now what did you mean?" I did not enjoy having to run after her.

She didn't speak at first but I sent her a glare that threatened to use her brother if need be again. "Just what I said okay? He cares much more than you think and I gave him." She paused for a second. "Suggestions on how to win you over."

"He was the one cooking for me wasn't he?" She nodded. "Why does he want to win me over?" We barely spoke before this situation and barely anymore after. Mostly screaming. Lots of screaming."Does he remember?" Did he remember everything?

"Not much more than you do. I think it was one of the first nights he has ever slept. Drunk or not." Temari's face started to fall. "He is afraid Sakura. You know how he is. Everything is new to him and the wall he had spent so long building is starting to fall. It's because of you and it scares him. He is afraid you will leave. Maybe it's just because you were his first but he is trying. Why won't you give him a chance. It couldn't hurt can it?"

Everything was confusing. Gaara cared for me? He wanted me to stay. Everything with me being pregnant. "The sand was because I'm pregnant isn't it?"

"It is a possibility. Even with you being only a few days along it might have noticed the change in your chakra. It does have a mind of it's own."

"What happens if things don't work out?" How often did 2 people thrown together like this actually work out? Only a handful at best right?

"I know things will." Temari seemed much more confident than I did.

I sighed. "What do you expect me to do? Have a date? Marry him? Have all his kids?" All the little pinkish red hair children running around. "If things magically work out what does this mean for me? My home is Konoha do I just pick up my entire life, everything I have known and just move here?" I knew the answer and it scared me. I never thought I would truly leave the home I grew up in. Tears started running down my face and I didn't know what to do anymore. I collapsed to my knees and just cried. This was too much for me. Everything was just too much. I was always very emotional but being hormonal on top of it was going to be my downfall.

"Sakura." Temari went to touch me and sand stopped her. Was it Gaara? He was nowhere to be seen but the sand refused to let her come any closer. Did it notice my distress? Did it think Temari was at fault for it?

Temari couldn't push past the sand no matter how she tried. Giving up she ran towards the back door. Gaara was our only option wasn't he? His sand didn't see him as a threat to the child like it did Temari. Next thing I knew I was being lifted by a still shirtless and sweaty Gaara. Why did being close to him calm me. Was it because of the child? It recognized its father which helped me calm down? Everything was new to me. I was a field medic. I never really helped deliver children or deal with pregnancies. That was normally left to the civilian doctors who had more time to learn and be around to help them.

Everything was confusing but at this moment all I knew was that being in his arms was comforting. Gaara cared for me in some weird way it was nice. No man had ever shown affection to me like Gaara was doing right now. Like he had been doing and this entire time I was being ungrateful. Maybe in a weird way fate brought us together and I just didn't know it yet.

I'm trying to progress the relationship slowly. Honestly my husband and I were really quick with out relationship so it is common but this one I'm trying to keep slow but have enough progress to stay interesting. R&R
