Notes before we start: This chapter is from Kakashi's point of view, then after the line it's back to Sasuke's view. Yeah, a Kakashi chapter isn't too good for my brain right now. It'll get too perverted.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and any of the characters in this Fan fiction. I'd love to, but it's not going to happen any time soon.
Warning: Mild Yaoi/Hetro references ahead. Don't flame the NaruSasu and the KakaSaku :3

An hour had passed, and the silver haired Kakashi hadn't left Sakuras side since she called out for him. She had fallen asleep comfortably, and amazingly, whilst sitting up almost straight. It was a little scary, but it was probably the comfiest position for her to be in right now. He shook his head slightly. Those two… They really were making this poor girl go through hell. Well, in her opinion anyway.
As Kakashi let Sakura rest, he stood up slowly and tried to leave the room.
"K-Kakashi…" Sakura's voice echoed through the almost silent room. It was around about three in the afternoon, but it was still quiet around their house.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up..?" He turned around, and squatted down next to her again. Sakura shook her head softly, and smiled.
"I woke up before you started moving, so don't worry." Kakashi smiled back thankfully.
"So, what do you want?" He asked quietly standing up straight. Squatting for about an hour wasn't too bad, but he just needed to stand.
"I didn't want you to leave…" Sakura started, blushing a little. "But, now that I think about it, I'd like a drink if it's no trouble." Kakashi smiled, his nose touching her forehead.
"It's no trouble, I need to get a drink too. What do you want?"
"Just some water please."
"Okay. I'll be back up in a moment." Kakashi walked out of the room, closing the door softly.
Her mood swings had taken a little bit of getting used to, but they had gone down to about three: sarcastic, depressed and romantic. Happy just came into the romantic bit, so that wasn't really a separate section. However, it was getting harder for Kakashi to understand what mood she was in, and how to act around her. He wasn't surprised that Sasuke had been keeping his distance from her. If he was Sasuke, he'd have avoided her until the day came and just apologized for not being there. But then again, Sakura would be annoyed by that no matter how she felt, so maybe he should have visited more often… Pregnancy was very confusing for men.
It was about a month after they last saw her. Sakura's due date was getting closer. Sasuke thought that he'd better go and visit Sakura before she thought she was being used, even though she was. Although, he didn't want her to think that he didn't like her in any way, he just liked her as a friend. Unfortunately, he still couldn't understand why Sakura was being suggestive towards him that day… 'Hormones.' He guessed, nodding slightly as he grabbed the flowers.
Naruto was ill in bed with the pre-autumn flu which meant Sasuke would have to go by himself. He was a little nervous just incase anything happened to Naruto whilst he was there, and if Sakura tried to do anything again. Hopefully she would be sleeping when he got there, and they wouldn't have to be alone. Maybe he should just drop off the flowers and say he was in a rush because he had a mission? Yes, that would be a good plan. If Kakashi didn't open the door that is. Maybe… No, he couldn't make anymore excuses, he would have to bite his lip and go in.
Speaking of which, Sasuke had been so lost in thought that he was already knocking on the door once he had stopped. Now he really wished that Naruto was by his side. He shook his head a little. Sure, he loved Naruto, but he was the one who looked after Naruto and his troubles, not the other way around. He waited for a few minutes before becoming slightly impatient and reached to knock on the door again. Just as he went to put his hand on the door, Kakashi opened the door.
"Damn it Sasuke, you just had to wake her up." Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, and Sasuke just looked confused.
"What on earth are you on about..?" He asked, the flowers hidden behind his back.
"Oi, Kakashi!" Sakura's voice shouted out. "Whoever's at the door, tell them to get lost!"
"That." The silver haired man sighed. "It's Sasuke!" He shouted back, and Sakura's tone of voice immediately changed.
"Okay! Tell him to come in!" Sasuke was a little spooked with the sudden choice of words and her tone of voice, but Kakashi stepped out of the way and let him in. Their house was bigger than Naruto's house and his own house put together, and their new house was about half the size of this one. He wondered how they could afford it, and then he remembered; Kakashi was a jonnin.
Sasuke walked upstairs, the flowers now in front of him. He looked around and saw a little sign on the door saying 'Sakura-chan's Room'. He knocked quietly and walked in. Sakura was sat up in bed, one of those purple stress balls in her right hand. He was wondering how she felt, but didn't want to ask.
"Sorry for waking you up Sakura…" He said, trailing off a little. "Naruto's not here, he's at home with that pre-autumn flu. He told me to thank you for him, but I think he was just a little delirious."
"That's okay." She smiled a little, and Sasuke noticed her eyes wandering off to behind his back. "What are you hiding?"
"Oh, yeah." Sasuke smirked a little, taking the bouquet of flowers from behind him back. "Naruto and I chipped in to buy you these flowers. Don't worry; they're not from Ino's shop." He joked slightly.
"Oh, okay." Sakura smiled a little, watching Sasuke place the flowers by her bed side table. Sasuke sat on the chair that Kakashi had placed in the room for him. There was a short silence before Sasuke stood up.
"Sorry… I can't stay any longer." He turned around. Naruto was stuck in his mind, and he was worried that his flu might get worse without him there.
"Okay. Thanks for coming, and say thanks to Naruto for me." Sakura smiled a little, and Sasuke waved slightly before leaving the room.
Just being in that room was creepy, so leaving it was a breath of fresh air. Sasuke thanked Kakashi before walking back to his house. However, he started running. Naruto was home ill in bed, and he was more important than Sakura right now. If Naruto was ill, then he couldn't come into the hospital with him. And that would be even worse. He couldn't be without the boy by his side again. Even if he was the one who looked after Naruto, he couldn't do that if he wasn't there. Sasuke felt almost empty without him there.
It was quiet though.

Hehe, sorry it took me so long to update! My mum's a little… Shall we say PMS right now, and it's been hard to try to type with her cleaning the whole house about three times over. x.x Anyway, hope you enjoy! I didn't like this chapter too much. I don't know why.
