Sakura's eyes winded in
shock. This would not work at all.

Chapter 9b: Teacher talk

"No fucking way! No way in hell." Sai started to back away from Naruto and Sakura. He took another step back and encountered Kakashi's chest.
Damn the fucker for his speed. I am not going to cover for the almighty Sasuke. If they are all so good at working together they can all solve this on their own.
"Why don't you ask fuzzy eyebrows to be the baby's dad. We all know he would go gaga and agree."
"Cause stupid, the kid would probably resemble Sasuke-teme, and since you resemble Sasuke-teme, it's only logical." Naruto finished off by folding his arms about his chest and nodding his head.
Sakura continued to watch in horror. Her life was turning upside down, one lie was continuously leading to another.
"Well, Mr.-logical, what happens when junior starts popping little Sharingan's ?" Sai sneered.
"Why the fuck are you so worked up?" Naruto demanded leaping up getting ready to fight if necessary. "It's just for a little while asshole! Till things cool down, and the kid won't show the Sharaingan until he's at least twelve!"
Sakura had enough. Sure her life was getting worse by the moment but it was HER life and she would DEAL with it.
"Will you two shut up? Its MY baby I'LL freaking decide what to do!" Sai looked at her for a moment. Taken back by her sudden outburst.
"If he's such a genius and your so damn smart, why didn't one of you think of using protection?"
"We weren't thinking alright?" She was at her wits end with this guy.
"Well gee it's obvious you weren't thinking, you were too busy fucking each other!"
That was the last straw
"Grrr!" And she attacked him. Sai wasn't expecting the attack, Sakura managed to land a solid punch, snapping his face to the side with a sickening crack.
"You bitch!" Blood was dripping from his recently straightened nose, Sakura didn't care she was furious.
"YOU THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN? Do you?" Another punch this time at his gut, he was thrown against a tree making it crack. She stomped towards him.
"When I FINALLY manage to MOVE on with my life THIS happens!" She picked him up by his shirt collar.
"My life was starting to look good! DO you think I'm NOT upset?" BY the end of her tirade she had let Sai go and her eyes started to tear up again. He looked so much like Sasuke, yet not at all. He didn't deserve her anger.
Her voice was hoarse, her last words tugging at his guts.
"Believe me Sai, I didn't think this would happen. But it's not the child's fault that Sasuke and I messed up. But I will NOT abandon my child, nor let some twisted freaks take him or her. You don't have to do anything you don't want to." And with that Sakura turned away from the Sasuke look alike.

A hand on her shoulder stopped her from taking another step.
"I'll do it." The girl didn't have to get so worked up about it.
"Yosh!" Naruto yelled dancing around.
Kakashi relaxed his stance and brought his book out once again.
Sakura turned around to looked at the black haired nin.
"Thank you." Sai suddenly found Sakura hugging him tight, and slowly his hands came around her waist. He felt at peace like a certain calm had settled about him. Her scent soothed him making him smile. Sakura pulled away slightly, to look into his eyes.
"You really don't have to Sai."
"But he's going to." Kakashi answered.
"Yeah what are friends for, right?" Sai managed to crack a small smile. Sakura leaned up and kissed him on the cheek in a friendly manner.
"Thanks so damn much Sai." She whispered in his ear. He had just saved her from much hassle.
When Sai nodded Sakura sighed pulled away and started flipping through the report.
According to the report the child was conceived between March 5th -11th. Today is March 12 the day i found out. I came home on March 5th at 2pm, around 11pm tp 7am, March 4th -5th little Sasuke swimmers were already at it. They don't have the exact date of when the child was conceived thank you kami-sama! But it can never hurt to be careful with the time details, just in case Tsunade gets suspicious and decides to do an in depth analysis.
Sai was startled when she spoke briskly at him, women and their moods shifts he'd never understand them.
"If anyone asks, the child was conceived as soon as I came back, when Sai took me home to change and get ready for Tsunade-sama's meeting. If anyone asks why say it's none of their business, it just happened. And any other questions I'll take care of." Sai nodded and looked at Kakashi.
"Congratulations Sakura." A half smile graced her lips.
"Really Kakashi? Your not um, you know ah…ashamed of me?" A nervous hand tucked strands of pink hair away reveling reddened cheeks. .
"I admit I'm not entirely happy, and I do think you deserve better." His tone less forbidding smiling scratching the back of his mane, her old sensei continued. "But I'd rather beat up Sasuke then you. But what is done is done. And I will be their to stand up for you…both."
Sakura was relived beyond words. Although she wanted to know which "both", her and Sai or, her and Sasuke?
Naruto raced over to Sakura's side.
"Ne Sakura-chan if it's a boy will you name him Naruto-jr? After the next great Hokage?"
One pink eyebrow rose. "Like hell I will."
"Hey Sakura isn't that the Hokage's bird?" Sakura turned to where Sai was pointing.
Sakura froze. "Oh shit, looks like she knows."
Kakashi disappeared with a few uncomfortable words. "I knew nothing about this until now."
"Kakashi- sensei!" Three angry voices yelled after him.

"Sakura what is this?" The current Hokage thundered throwing medical report onto her desk, Shizune winced.
Sakura let out a weak smile.
"Surprise?" Sakura grinned showing her neat white teeth.
Tsunade threw her hands up in their air.
Sakura's committed suicide.
Oh this is not good!
"I can't believe this! One the most promising Ninja's of this village. You do realize you will be on maternity lave for a 12 months don't you? I can't have you jumping around getting attacked on missions in your current state. But when your all better, your going to have to work extra hard!"
"Yes Hokage-sama" Sakura kept her head low.
"So no missions or harsh physical training for now."
"Yes Hokage-sama" another nod of the head.
"No major healing to be done at the hospital."
"Yes Hokage-sama"
"And now you get to do most of Shizune's paper work."
Winch. "Yes Hokage-sama"
"What were you THNKING Sakura?"
"I wasn't?" Shizune turned red, The Hokage sat down in a huff.
"Well of course I understand THAT. But aren't you on regular birth pills like every other Knouchi. Hell I know Hinata is on them."
Sakura cringed.
Well Hinata has a boyfriend. It would make sense! Just like everyone else! And I was the one who encouraged her to go on them 'just incase!'
"Who's the father?"
Sakura jumped.
I was hoping we could skip that part…
"It's not relevant."
The Fifth jumped out of her seat again, almost toppling her chair back this time.
"WHAT do you mean it's not relevant? It's VERY relevant. I want know which MAN had the balls to do this to MY apprentice!" Steam was coming out of the women ears and the walls shook from the force in her voice.
"Sai." Sakura squeaked. She was scared now.
Sasuke you are a dead man for putting me through this!
Their was a pause.
"SAI? YOU'RE team mate?"
"Hai."
"Why him?" Sakura gave her mentor an incredulous look. Was she supposed to answer that? Tsunade rolled her eyes and waved with her hand. "Someone bring him in here!"
Shizune interrupted while a ANBU jumped to retrieve Sai.
"Tsunade-sama lets leave that, what's happened has happened, if the two have feelings for each other and…"
"We don't!" Sakura blurted out, then turned red, shit that made her look like a slut. Sakura coughed to cover up her blunder.
"See the thing is Tsunade-sama, I just came back from that mission gone wrong, and we were at my house, and things just got out of hand..." Her voice had dwindled down by the time she finished her explanation.

"You wanted to see me Hokage-sama?" Sai entered the room with Naruto right behind him.
"Hey baa-chan give it a break will yeah? We can year ya yelling for 50 miles."
"Naruto what the hell are YOU doing in here?" A pale blonde eyebrow began to twitch.
Naruto walked up to Sakura and their and arm around her shoulders.
"Moral support." He grinned blue eyes dancing with mirth,
Sasuke-teme you fucked up real nice this time, wait till I get my hands on you. But this is sure as hell funny to watch.
"I guess that means you know? Anyway just keep your trap shut. Now you two, what do you plan on doing?"
Sai looked at Sakura. Was he supposed to say something? And Sakura didn't look like she was going to be saying anything, so he took the initiative.
"Nothing…? What are we supposed to do?"
The current Hokage smirked and followed her hands over her overflowing bosom. "Get married ? That is the least you can do for the child."
Sakura knew this was going to come up.
"I'm sorry Hokage-sama I have no intention of marrying Sai, just because of this child."
"You realize that many children grow up with out fathers because they are dead. Are you going to deny your child its father, when he is alive?"
Naruto looked sharply at the Fifth, that was low.
Sai clenched his fist. The old lady was taking it too far.
We don't know if Sasuke is alive at this moment.
Although Sakura doubted he was dead.
She closed her eyes and paused. The real father would never be there any way. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea. The child did deserve a father.
But a lie? Can I lie to my own child?
>
A male voice spoke before Sakura could. "Hokage-sama, I will try my best to take an active role in the child's life."
"Sai…" Sakura searched his face.
"Yeah, what the ass, said, all three of us will raise this child. I'm sure Ino, Tenten-chan and, Hinata-chan will help won't they Sakura-chan?"
Sakura nodded firmly then turned back to her teacher.
Who threw her hands up in the air one last time in defeat.
"Oh fine! I can't very well punish you, you are all adults. Both of you. But Sai if you had some honor…"
"That is all!" Shizune interrupted when she saw the dark look enter Sai's eyes. Naruto pulled his friends out the door with a quick look from Shizune.

Now that the hard part was over, she had to deal with her parents and friends.
By 2 pm the next day Sakura had moved into a new apartment, alone. After arguing with her parents she had left. After her father had demanded she marry Sai or abort the baby Sakura had left in a mad rage. She broke a few pieces of furniture on the way out as well. I mean really, she did have monstrous strength at her disposal sometimes it felt good to show it off.
Naruto being the sweetheart he was moved in next door to her after threatening the old man that lived next door to leave. He was naturally worried about his "Sakura-chan." And Sakura, was thankful.
