AN: Ahhhhh! My deepest apologies! (Especially Zora Olsen) Sorry about the last chapter, or shall I say, "Author's Note". . . . . .Well, let me explain my chain of thought for that last chapter. . . . .Well you see, I do reply to your reviews by submitting a review. However, I'm not entirely sure if you even check it. . . . .But I do post it on anyways. . . . .Well, I decided I might need a beta reader since I have made quite a few mistakes, and I think it would probably be better if I had someone's opinion. So, I thought, "Well, what the heck, lets get one, but how?" I wasn't entirely sure if anyone would even take a look at the reviews, so I decided, the people who actually really like my story would get an alert of a new chapter, so if I just asked for a beta reader and posted it for a chapter, I would most likely get a good response. . . .hopefully. And yes, I did say I don't want a chapter titled "Author's Note" (got me there. . . .) so I will pay you back by updating a real chapter. Eh? After all, I don't start school again until Wednesday since the governor wants to save some energy. Enjoy! And my deepest apologies!

Chapter 5

Pregnant!

A year and a half had passed since the day that Sasuke returned, and he and Sakura got married. It was the month of December; the chilly winds blowing, the light snow falling on the city, and the warmth of the houses. Sasuke woke up to find that the other side of the bed was empty. He sat straight up, and heard the familiar coughing sound from Sakura in the bathroom. He got up and went to take a look. There she was again: all over the toilet and coughing and hacking.

"Are you okay, Sakura?" Sasuke asked as he patted her back.

"Yeah. . . ." She said as she wiped her mouth with a towel and flushed the toilet.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Asked Sasuke.

"Oh, probably nothing." Said Sakura giving a reassuring smile.

"It's not nothing." Said Sasuke. "You've been throwing up for a couple of mornings already."

"Do you think I have the flu? I mean, it is winter. . . ."

"Maybe. You also have fevers. . . . ."

"Yeah. . . .Maybe I should go and see the doctor today then."

"You probably should."

"Okay then, if it makes you feel better." Said Sakura. "Now out. I need to take a shower!" Sang Sakura as she ushered her husband out of the bathroom.

"What?" He muttered as he stared straight at the bathroom door, after it was shut in his face. He chuckled to himself. That Sakura. . . .He got dressed in his usual shinobi outfit, and headed out of the bedroom.

Sakura thought to herself as the warm water ran down her body. It was true that she has been throwing up for a couple of mornings, not to mention, also having fevers. . . .Wait, when was the last time she was supposed to have her period? It was supposed to be last week, but it hasn't come yet. . . .Could she be. . . .pregnant? Oh well; she would find out today when she pays a visit to Tsunade today. (I spelled it right! XD) She stepped out of the shower and wiped herself with a towl. She walked out of the bathroom to find her clothes already laid out for her on the bed. Sakura smiled to herself. That Sasuke. . . . .He may seem distant at times, but deep down, he really does love you. Sakura got dressed in her red dress thing (sorry, couldn't come up with a better description. . . .) and wrapped her legs with the bondage wrap. She added two pink arm warmers, and put on her head protector. She smiled at herself in the mirror. She left her short hair the way it was, but a bit longer, or barley touching her shoulders. She decided it was a better look for her instead. Sakura stepped out of her bedroom door, and into the kitchen. The smell of coffee and breakfast filled the room. Sure enough, she saw Sasuke in the kitchen making breakfast. She sat down at the table and sipped her coffee as she watched him. Sasuke finished up, and brought the food to the table.

"Thank you. . . ." Said Sakura sweetly which made Sasuke blush a bit, but he secretly hid it. Sakura knew this, and she laughed to herself.

"What are you laughing about?" Asked Sasuke suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing. . . ." Said Sakura with a dazzling smile, which she knew would make Sasuke get off of her case.

"Okay. . ." he muttered. "So, you're going to the doctor's today, right?"

"Yep."

"Well, do you have any idea whatsoever as to what you think is wrong?" Said Sasuke as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Well. . . .I think I may be pregnant. . ." Said Sakura innocently. Sasuke started choking when he heard this. "Are you okay Sasuke?"

"Are you sure?"

"Well, no. That's why I'm going to the doctor. . ."

"Right. Uhh, well, uh, tell me as soon as possible when you find out, okay?" He said. Sakura could tell he was spazing out. "Well, then, I'll be off. Bye." He said and gave her a kiss.

"Bye Sasuke." She said laughing to herself once more. She got up and put all the dishes into the sink, and decided she should head out too.

Sasuke went to the ANBU headquarters down at the city. He had to talk to someone about this. When he arrived, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Kakashi were all talking. He came in keeping his cool, and sat down where they were.

"Ohyio Sasuke." Said Kakashi, acknowledging the presence of his former student.

"Okay, I need to ask you something." Said Sasuke all of a sudden surprising all of them. This was not like Sasuke.

"Uhh, what is it?" Asked Shikamaru slowly.

"Uhh. . .. Well. . .Sakura, she-"

"Wait a minute. . . .Did you get her pregnant?" Asked Naruto.

"I. . .I don't know. . ."

"Oh, that's good!" Said Naruto.

"Yet." Added Sasuke, finishing his sentence.

"Well, at least you're married to her." Said Kakashi.

"But then it'll be your turn to try and tame a moody woman. . ." Said Shikamaru sulking. "Ino is crazy! I'm telling you! But she's eight months in already, so I guess it wouldn't be too bad."

"Heheh! Well, Hinata and I are going to get married soon, so I don't know about any babies. . . ." Said Naruto scratching his head.

"Quit making me feel old." Said Kakashi.

"You're married already! Plus, don't you have like, two kids already?" Said Naruto.

"Yeah. . .One daughter who's starting to like boys. . . .Good luck when that happens. . . ." Replied Kakashi.

"Well, Sasuke, when will you find out?" Asked Shikamaru giving a pat on Sasuke's shoulder.

"Soon. . . .sometime today."

"Well, then, we'll just have to wait." Said Naruto.

On the other hand. . . . .

"Pregnant!" Said Tsunade beaming over Sakura.

"Are you sure?" Asked Sakura.

"Sakura! We've checked already!" Said Ino, who accompanied her. She too was also pregnant, but almost into labor. Only about one month, and it would be time for Ino.

"Then, I really am!" Shouted Sakura happily. "Then I got to tell Sasuke!"

That Evening. . . . .

Sasuke came home after a day of training. He had almost pushed the fact that Sakura had gone to Tsunade to see if she was sick, or something else. As soon as he walked in the door, he was greeted by his cheerful, smiling wife.

"Sasuke! I have some news for you!" She said excitedly.

"Oh crap!" He thought. "What kind of news. . . ."

"Uh, what is it?" He asked uncertainly.

"I'm pregnant!"

"Oh. . . .My. . . .God." He said slowly; trying to get this all into his head.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke passed out on the floor. The next thing he knew, he woke up to Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Ino's faces.

"Looks like you're awake!" Said Naruto cheerfully. "Congratulations!"

"Damn. . . .I'm a father?"

"Yep!" The all said, and he passed out again. . . .

End for now!
