Chapter One: Naruto's Gift to Sakura
It's been a couple of weeks since Naruto has left. Sakura hadn't felt this broken since the time when she thought he had died, but she's strong and was sure the knucklehead wouldn't want her tosulk like this. Sakura's determined not to let this get her down and continue to go on. But lately she's been feeling under the weather. Like she has a flu or something. Its been keeping her from work so she decided to get checked up.
Sakura was patiently waiting for her results. It always felt weird to be the patient since she's used to being the doctor all the time. She let her mind wonder. She was wondering where they could possibly be right now. If the two idiots confessed or not.
"You better be taking care of him Sasuke...", Sakura muttered.
All of a sudden the doctor walked in holding the results.
"Is it a flu?", Sakura asked wondering whats getting her sick every morning.
"No. Actually Haruno-san the reason your feeling sick is because, well... We've run some tests. You're pregnant." The doctor said handing Sakura the paperwork.
Sakura's eyes widen and she quickly took her files and read through every result.
"You double checked?", Sakura asked.
"Yes. You know we always do Haruno-san."
Sakura sighed. She gave the paperwork back to the doctor. She's right, if anyone knows how this hospital works she does. She wasn't Tsunade-sama's successor for nothing. Sakura ran her fingers through her hair trying to grasp the situation. She knew exactly who the father was. It is highly frowned upon by the villagers of Konoha for children to be born out of wedlock. It was even more looked down on to be a single mother. Sakura was scared, she was scared for the future of her child. It wouldn't be easy raising this kid on her own.
"Haruno-san before we discuss anything further, are you going to have an abortion or are you going to keep the child?", The doctor asked without a blink of an eye.
Sakura wasn't surprised by the insensitive question. She often asked to future single mothers herself. But didn't mean it wasn't hard to hear. Most of the time women would say they want an abortion because they rather not deal with all the trouble of raising a child without support from a man and to be ridiculed by villagers. But she didn't think she could do that. Not only was this child growing inside her womb her's, but Naruto's as well. She held onto her lower stomach. She took in a slow breath.
"I'm going to keep this child.", Sakura answered.
"Are you sure Haruno-san?"
"Yes."
"So you know whats next right?"
"Yes, I have to find an obstetrician to watch over me so the pregnancy goes well.", Sakura explained.
"Exactly, would you like Yoshiro-san or Ai-san?"
Sakura was thinking. Those weren't the only obstetricians, but they were the best ones in Konoha. She didn't want to go with Ai because she could be very judgmental of single mothers. Yoshiro was more opened minded and would just focus on making sure she had a safe and successful pregnancy.
"Yoshiro-san.", Sakura answered.
"Alright I'll set an appointment for next week with him." She began writing a doctors note,"Give this to the Hokage. You're in no condition to go on any c rank missions or higher."
She took the paper and sighed. It wouldn't be easy but... Sakura wanted this child. She wanted to raise this child that belong to her and Naruto. While most woman saw this as a disaster, Sakura saw this as a blessing. She still loved Naruto dearly, and she was very happy to give birth to his child.
Sakura was walking to the hokage's office with the doctor's note in her hand. Kakashi was like a second father to her. It was already going to be hard to tell her parents but having to tell Kakashi, the man who took her in as his first and last student, the man that looked at her like his child. But she has to be brave, she'll soon have to endure the worst treatment from closed minded villagers. She breathed in and out and walked inside the office. Kakashi was alone, working on what looked like some mission reports.
"Hokage-sama I need to give you something." she said as she closed the door behind her.
"Just call me Kakashi Sakura. There is no need for formalities with you.", Kakashi explained to the girl. Sakura couldn't help it. It was a good habit to respect her superiors.
"So what is it you need my brightest kunichi?",Kakashi smiled even though Sakura couldn't see his mouth she's known him long enough to know what he looks like when he's smiling.
She decided to treat the news like a band aid and get it over with. Sakura walked to his desk handing him the note quickly.
"What's this?" Kakashi asked as he began reading the note.
"It's a doctors note...", Sakura replied, "I'm not permitted to go on any c or higher rank missions for 2 months. After that I am not fit to go on any missions for 7 months." She explained calmly.
"I see... And you'll need a little time after that to gather yourself correct?", Kakashi asked as he put the note away.
"Yes..." She answered.
The two were silent for a minute.
Sakura felt the need to explain herself, "Kakashi I know you must be disappointed with me but-"
Sakura was cut off her sentence by the man's hug. She was shocked at how fast he moved from his chair to her side. Sakura couldn't help but cry in shame.
"Sakura I may have neglected to tell you and the boys this before but... I love you three. You three have made me so proud. I could never imagine replacing you guys. This doesn't make me any less proud of you Sakura.", He let go of her placing his hands on her shoulders looking at her eyes, "You've come a long way. Maybe longer than those boys. I can't imagine how hard it is for you to give up two loves."
Sakura couldn't help but giggle a little, "Only one sensei... The Sasuke I loved only exists in my fantasies."
Kakashi chuckled, "Maybe, but he still broke you're heart non the less right?"
Sakura kept silent.
"So I'm guessing that this is Naruto's child?" Kakashi said letting her go, eyes wandering to her stomach.
The kunichi smiled, "Yeah.."
"Are you going to tell him when he returns?"
"Like Sasuke will come home easily, now that Naruto is following him like a little puppy.", Sakura teased the two boys.
Kakashi laughed, "Yeah I guess you're right about that, but still I think you should tell him."
"Well I'll worry about that when he comes home... Right now I have more impotent things to worry about."
"I suppose you're right.", Kakashi walked back to his seat, "Now that's all settled, I should get back to work."
"Yeah.." Before Sakura went back she bowed, "Thank you sensei, for everything." She exit the room before Kakashi responded.
He smiled, "You're going to be a great mother Sakura..."
Sakura decided she wanted to tell Ino before she told her parents. Ino is her best friend and ex-rival, she felt if there was anyone she could tell it was her. When Sakura walked by the flower shop she saw Choji and the girl talking with one another, she couldn't help but admire the cute couple. After the war Ino and Choji have gotten a lot closer and slowly the two started going out. Sakura was a little envious of their love, but she couldn't hate her friend for finding someone right for her.
After the two kissed each other goodbye Choji left the shop. Sakura then walked up to the register.
"Hey Sakura! Were the doctors able to see what's wrong with you?", Ino asked concerned.
"Yeah, But it's not a flu like I thought.", Sakura answered.
"Really? What is it then?"
"I'm pregnant..."
Sakura didn't realize how much of her strength that took. It was really amazing how powerful words could be sometimes.
"Oh my god... Come on." Ino said as she took off her apron. She grabbed Sakura.
"Wait where are we going?"
"We're going to the park, I have questions!"
"But what about the shop?"
"Don't worry about it! I'll take responsibility for it later!"
She dragged her friend out of the shop changing the sign to ' close ' and took her friend all the way to the park. They both sat on the bench.
"So first things first, who's the father?" Ino asked excited.
Sakura only sighed at her friend's eagerness.
"You can't tell anyone, understand?"
"Yeah Yeah, now tell me!"
Sakura took a deep breath and gathering up more of her courage, "Naruto..."
"I knew it! I knew you two slept together!"
"It was only one time you pig! Stop treating this like gossip and take it seriously!"
Ino saw how serious her friend was and decided to tone it down a little, "Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away.."
"You think?" Sakura said in a sarcastic tone.
"Alright so how far along are you?"
"When I looked at the file it said about a month..."
"They're able to find out that early?"
"Yeah amazing isn't it?"
"Are you going to keep it Sakura?"
Sakura looked down for a moment. She was fiddling with her fingers.
"I am..."
"Sakura..." Ino looked at her with concern.
"I know... I'm stupid but... It's his child...and mine.", Sakura began to cry, "I love him Ino... I can never imagine getting rid of the life he helped me create..."
Ino hugged Sakura close, "I'm here for you Sakura... If you need anything I'm here for you. And no matter what remember, you're the strongest girl in Konoha... No matter what people say or think you're still my best friend."
Sakura smiled. She was blessed to have Ino and Kakashi by her side.
"You'll always be my best friend Ino... No matter what.."
6 months later...
Sakura's stomach has gotten pretty swollen over the past months. Right now she was coming home from Doctor Yoshiro's appointment. It's been a struggle walking since she has this baby inside her weighing her down. It was also hard since everyone knows she's pregnant. She gets stared at with disapproval by elders and women. She even sometimes hear them gossip about her. There was this one time she was at the store and someone groped her. It reminded her of her first dangerous mission in the land of waves.
She turned to see some pervert asking if she wanted to mess around. She made sure to punch him through the roof. Sakura was earned even more stares, but she was to angry to care at that moment. It seems the lewd assholes think she's some slut just because she's pregnant out of wedlock. She didn't care if this was the treatment she was going to get from everyone. Sakura had Ino Sai and the rest of the rookie nine on her side. She wasn't going to let these prejudice villagers get her down.
As she was walking Sakura often wondered if this is what it was like for Naruto and Sasuke. Feeling like everyone is talking about you negatively. She shook her head, "They probably had it a lot worse than me..." Sakura walked in her apartment. After the war Sakura decided it would be better if she started being more independent. When she walked in she saw her mother in the kitchen.
"M-Mom what are you doing here?", Sakura waddled into the kitchen.
Mebuki answered, "What does it look like I'm doing child? I'm cooking you a meal."
"Mother please, I can take care of myself!"
"Ever since you've gotten pregnant all you've been craving is ramen and junkfood."
"Mom!"
"It's true isn't it? You need to eat healthy food so my grandchild will grow nice and strong."
Sakura sighed. She couldn't really argue with her mom, she was right. But all those junk food are just to hard to resist.
"Thanks mom..."
After she told her parents they were ashamed at first, but after a while they came around. They were even excited knowing they'll soon be grandparents.
"Did you just come from the doctors?" Mebuki asked as she was cooking. Sakura decided to start helping her out and began chopping some of the vegetables.
"Yeah, they told me the gender." Sakura answered.
The blonde women paused, "Gender?", She turned to her daughter, " Well what is it?"
Sakura giggled. She could tell her mother was trying to hide her excitement.
"It's going to be a boy."
Her mother squealed, "Oh my god, honey!" she hugged the girl tight, "You're going to have a son!"
Sakura smiled, "I know..."
"I have to tell your father! Watch the stew while I call him!"
"Okay." Sakura giggled. She watched the stew smiling. She didn't care if she was looked down on for having this boy. She was lucky to have her family, to have her friends. She wasn't going to let these villagers get her spirits down. She was going to love this boy with all her heart.
2 months and 1 week later...
"I really appreciate this Sai.", Sakura smiled gently.
"It's no problem." Sai
Sakura was staying over at Sai's place because she was due any day now. Because of this it would be very inconvenient for her to stay in her apartment on the third floor. Sai was kind enough to offer her to stay at his house in till she goes into labor.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Sai asked as he was setting up his futon.
"I've thought of a few but none of them sound good enough for Naruto... I mean This is his kid, I want to give him a good name that would of made Naruto proud if he was here." Sakura said as she drank some of her sweet green tea.
"I understand what you mean... You know ever since I've gotten to know you both I started to change... For the better of course."
"Let's hope so.", Sakura giggled.
Sai gave the girl a genuine smile he only gives to Naruto and her, " I could never clearly understand Naruto's relationship with Sasuke. Even now I still wonder why he would choose him over everything else, but maybe that's for the best. Anyway what I'm saying here is Naruto to me has always reminded me of sun. While you remind me of the earth and Sasuke reminds me of the moon."
Sakura stared at awe while the anbu explained.
"Maybe you could name you're child related to that."
"To the sun?"
"Yeah."
It wasn't crystal clear but Sakura had a better idea of what she would name her son.
2 days later..
It was April eighth, four o'clock in the morning. Sakura was sound asleep in Sai's bed while he was sleeping on the futon on the floor near her. The kunichi eyes widen awake from the sudden sharp pain in her stomach as she felt her water broke. She sat up and began breathing. She was going through labor.
"Sai!..." She called while taking short breaths.
Sai got up, "Is it time?" He asked in a groggy voice.
Sakura nodded, "Y-Yeah .. Grab my bag and lets get to the hospital..." Sakura tried to stay calm. She knew it was best to stay calm in this situation.
Sai nodded doing as she said. He grabbed her bag and lifted the girl and headed towards the hospital. Sakura concentrated on breathing while Sai dashed his way through the empty streets of Konoha.
"Shit!" Sakura cursed as she felt a contraction.
"Are you okay." Sai stopped to check on the girl.
"Yeah keep running! I'm fucking okay! Just get me to the damn hospital!"
"Alright..." Sai said beginning to run once more.
When they finally made it to the hospital Sai set Sakura down helping her walk to the front desk.
"How may I help you Sakura-san?" The nurse asked.
Sakura's patience was running thin, "Oh I don't know it's four o'clock in the fucking morning and I'm going through labor!"
"O-Oh of course" The nurse called in another nurse from the maternity ward. She came at the front with a wheel chair for Sakura.
Sakura sighed relieved, "Thank you." She took a seat and look towards the nurse at the front desk, " I apologize for my language." After the the nurse pushed Sakura to her room while Sai tagged along.
"How long has it been since your water broke Sakura-san?" The nurse asked.
"About thirty minutes. The contractions have been coming every ten minutes." Sakura explained as she took in short breaths.
"You're lucky, Yoshihiro-san is clocked in."
"That is lucky." Sakura smiled.
The nurse turned to Sai, "So are you the father."
"Oh god no!" Sakura laughed.
"I see so a friend."
"Yup." Sai gave the woman his famous fake smile.
Sakura only rolled her eyes at his old habits and continued taking in short breaths. After they got in the room Sakura changed into a hospital gown. The nurse helped her in the bed adjusting it so she was sitting up.
"Alright Sakura-san, Yoshiro-san should be here in a moment. Buzz for us if you need anything."
"Okay thank you." Sakura nodded at the kind nurse.
"Thanks." Sai said bowing slightly.
The women left taking the wheel chair with her.
"How much you want to bet she still a virgin? Sai joked.
"Sai I swear to god!" Sakura glared.
"I'm kidding." Sai set the red bag near Sakura and grabbed one of the chairs scooting it closer to the girl.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, It's calmed down a little. I still feel a sharp tug but I think that's normal."
"Do you want me to call everyone?"
Sakura shook her head, "No let them sleep. We'll call everyone when he gets here."
"Are you excited?"
Sakura sighed shaking her head, "No...I'm actually scared..."
Sai's eyes widen he took the girl's hand, "Why?"
"No real reason...I'm just scared that I won't be a good mom...This kid will need me. One wrong move and I can screw his life up forever."
"Sakura. Don't think like that. Thinking like that means you're losing hope in yourself. If I've learned one thing from Naruto, it's never lose hope."
Sakura stared at him, "Sai.."
He wiped away her tears, "Don't forget you're smart, strong, and beautiful.."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh, "I always thought I was ugly."
"In the words of Naruto Uzumaki, I can be a asshole."
"You sure can. But thank you... I needed that.."
As soon as they were done Doctor Yoshihro came through the door.
"Hello again Sakura-san."
"Hey Yoshiro-san he's a little early."
"Yup looks like he's eager to meet you. Okay lets see how far dilated you are." Yoshiro's latex gloved hand went under Sakura's gown to check.
Sai couldn't help but stare and he stared back at Sakura, "Aren't you going to punch him sky high?"
Yoshiro couldn't help but chuckle at the blunt response.
"No Sai he's checking to see if I'm wide enough to push."
"What does you being fat have to do with him sticking his fingers inside you?"
Sakura punched him square in the cheek, "ASSHOLE FOR THE LAST TIME I'M PREGNANT NOT FAT!"
Sai held his now swollen cheek.
Yoshiro took out his hand and took off the glove and threw it away, "Okay Sakura looks like you're ten centimeters dilated you're ready."
"Really?"
"Yes would you like Sai to stay here with you or someone else?"
Sakura originally wanted to do this with Ino but since it was so early in the morning she didn't want to wake her so she decided Sai would be okay to stay if he behaves himself.
"I'll like Sai to stay." Sakura answered.
"Alright then, Sai-san if you please come with the nurse to change real quick."
"Alright. I'll be back Sakura." Sai smiled at the girl.
Sakura smiled and nodded. She stroked her swollen stomach while everyone prepped for the delivery.
"I'm going to meet you today...I can't wait to see what you look like..."
It had been 2 hours of labor Sakura was struggling a little but she kept at it.
"You're doing good Sakura-san! Just keep pushing!"
"OH GOD!" She felt like she was dying. This was worse than that time when Mandara stabbed her,"SHIT SAI I'M GONNA DIE!"
"No you're not Sakura look at me!" Sai said.
Sakura stared up at him focusing on him while pushing.
"You're strong Sakura! Never forget how strong you are!"
Sakura nodded. She was really glad Sai was with her. She held on to his hand tighter and continued to push.
"Okay Sakura-san I see a head! Keep at it!"
The girl did as he said and pushed harder. After a couple more minutes of immense pain Sakura finally pushed the baby all the way out.
Cries were echoing inside the room.
"You did it Sakura he's out."
Sakura smiled and laid back exhausted, "I-It's a boy?"
"Yes." He said handed him to the nurses to clean up and do the final steps of the delivery, "Have you thought of the name?"
"Y-Yes Hikaru Haruno...", Sakura panted.
Sai looked down and smiled at the tired girl, he then looked to the small crying baby boy that was getting wrapped in a blanket.
The nurse handed the baby gently to the pink haired girl. Sakura smiled eager to hold him.
"Alright we'll be back for Hikaru later. Congratulations Sakura-san, you're a mother." Yoshiro congratulated.
After that him and the nurses left Sai and Sakura alone with her new child.
Sakura stared down at her boy, he had strawberry blonde hair and sun-kissed skin. The most unique thing about him was his left cheek, he had markings similar to his father's. It was one line then the second line that was cut into two halves while the third was just a dot.
Ever since he's been in her arms he's settled down.
"I...I can't believe it... I'm a mother..." She started to cry tears of joy. Sakura looked up at Sai with a huge smile, "Sai I'm a mother!"
Sai stroked her hair, "Yes...You worked hard Sakura."
Sakura nodded and looked back down at her boy, "Hikaru I'm your mommy, I'm going to make sure you grow up to be a strong kind boy. And no matter what I'll be there for you..."
She hugged him close, "I'll always be there for you Hikaru..."
To Be Continued...
Author's Note: There's something I've noticed about the world of Naruto. Every child I can think of has been born or was going to be born in a happy family if you really think about it. I have yet to see a child born out of wedlock. I don't count Kurenai because she was going to end up with Asuma if he was still alive. So if you really think about they're is a high possibility for Konoha to judge a single or divorced mother who wasn't widowed. It'll make writing Hikaru interesting.
Sakura was supposed to be a character to look up to. She was finally at the same level as Naruto and Sasuke, but they quickly took that away from her in chapter 693 when she was reverted back to the little girl who was obsessed with Sasuke Uchiha.
