Tsunade's eyes widened.
"You what?" Shizune asked her own eyes wider in diameter.
"I…I think…I'm with child," Sakura replied, her tears rolling down her face freely.
"Sakura, how did this happen?" the fifth Hokage asked calmly.
The kunoichi gulped as a lump formed in her throat. "Well, Tsunade-sishou, it all happened at the Chuunin Exam, in the Death Forest," she explained.
"Where were your teammates?" Tsunade asked with a raise of the eyebrow, leaning back in her chair. She rubbed her temples.
Sakura's emerald orbs filled with more tears as a river fell down her face. "T-They were unconscious, it was just after our first encounter with Orochimaru," she stated as she looked at the ground.
"Who was it?" the gambler questioned her pupil as she sat up straight.
"I-I don't know his name, but he's a Sound nin," Sakura responded clanking her feet together as she spilled her innermost secret, one of which she hadn't told a soul.
"I know the answer, but I must ask, was it willingly or…." Tsunade trailed off.
Sakura shook her head violently and sobbed. "I never wanted such a thing to happen, Hokage-sama." She wrapped her arms around herself. "What am I going to do, Tsunade-sama? I'm only twelve, I can't handle the responsibility of a child, and what will my parents think, and my friends think?"
"Whoa, Sakura calm down. You aren't for sure, right?" Tsunade questioned. "So, what are your symptoms exactly?"
"Well, I get sick at the smell of breakfast or fish, mood swings occur often… I haven't menstruated in two months…. I've put on ten pounds," Sakura explained as the tears kept falling down her pale face.
Tsunade looked at her student in sympathy. "You're pretty positive, aren't you?" she questioned.
Sakura nodded her head.
Tsunade looked at her, a thin line placed on her mouth, "Well, I can give you a pregnancy test and only hope for the best." She said then when into a cabinet and pulled out a box, and handed it to Sakura. "Here go take this and in ten minutes we'll find out the truth."
Sakura nodded and went into a bathroom, once inside, she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding. She looked down at the box, then proceeded to read the instructions. She followed the basic directions, not wanting to mess it up, and when she was done with her part, all she could do was wait.
'No, It can't be, even I can see with out the test that she is. She glows as a soon to be mother should.' Tsunade thought sorrowfully for her student.
Shizune gasped as she saw Sakura come out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes.
"So it's true?" Tsunade asked and by Sakura's nod she continued, "okay well then you have only three options; A. you could keep the child, B. you could get an abortion, or C. Adoption."
Sakura burst out at Tsunade, "NO! Are you insane, I couldn't abort his child! And I wouldn't! Nor would I give such a precious thing away!" She screamed.
"His? Did you and that sound ninja have something special between you two? I thought you didn't know who the rapist was…" Tsunade pressed, then nodded in understanding, "I see, I don't know why you're hiding him, or why you would want to, but I will respect your wishes and keep him a secret…but remember Sakura, if and when you're ready to talk, I'm here for you in any time of need."
Sakura looked up from the ground, "Thank you Tsunade-sensei, I'll remember that."
Tsunade, feeling awkward from this morbid moment, decided to lighten her tone. She wrapped an arm around Sakura's shoulders, "Well, I guess now is the time for you to tell your parents."
Sakura's eyes widened in fear, "D-do I have to?" She asked, horrified.
Tsunade smiled down at the pink haired beauty, "Yes, but I'll be there, right next to you. Besides they can't hurt you with the Hokage around you and supporting you."
"Good because I'll need a Hokage when I tell them," Sakura mumbled, and Tsunade laughed as she ruffled Sakura's hair and led her out of the building and toward her home.
Well it certainly wasgoing to be an interesting night at the Haruno household.
