*I DON'T OWN NARUTO KISHIMOTO DOES*
Naruto closed the bathroom door behind him while Sakura got the shower water ready for them. Naruto then took off his shoes and Sakura in turn pulled Naruto's shirt over her head and took her thong off.
"Thanks to your magic fingers my panties are drenched Naruto!" Scolded Sakura as she tossed her underwear into her laundry hamper.
"Oh don't act like you didn't like Sakura-chan. Would you have preferred me shredding them up instead?" Teased Naruto.
Sakura turned around to face Naruto. She did her best to give him a stern look but she knew she failed when her boyfriend just smiled at her.
"Those are one of my favorite pairs so don't be getting any ideas."
Naruto simply grinned at her flimsy threat. The two young lovers decided to stop bickering and instead they entered the warm shower. The warm water hit Sakura's neck and chest. It felt amazing on her sore body. She closed her eyes and got herself fully soaked. Now that she and Naruto were alone, and not all over each other, the realization of her situation started to dawn on her again.
That powerful moment of lust had made her completely forget what she had to confess to Naruto. She brushed strands of wet hair from her eyes, she was beginning to panic. Suddenly, she felt Naruto behind her rubbing her shoulders lightly. He softly nibbled her neck.
Naruto can always pick up on my feelings and body language, he never ceases to amaze me.
"Are you alright Sakura-chan?" Asked Naruto as his hands traveled from her shoulders to her to her breasts; he gently squeezed them with his strong hands.
"Of course I'm ok, why wouldn't I be?"
She couldn't believe those words had come out of her mouth. Sakura sighed as Naruto's hands roamed around her chest.
"Are you sure? You seem a little off, is something bothering you?"
"Oh no of course not, I just missed you, that's all."
"Alright, if you say so."
Naruto took one of her earlobes into his mouth and began sucking on it; Sakura giggled.
"Naruto what exactly do you think you're doing?"
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, I've been without you for so long, I just can't help myself. Besides we should take advantage, we're in the shower after all. If I get you dirty you can get cleaned up fast," said Naruto as he pulled her wet naked body up against his.
Sakura playfully jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow.
"No Naruto."
"You mean you aren't up for round two?" Growled Naruto as he pressed hips up against her backside.
"It's late, and I'm tired Naruto. I need to get to bed. I'm meeting with Tsunade-sama in the morning."
"Come on Sakura-chan," yawned Naruto.
"Honestly Naruto you're yawning. You just got back from a long mission, you must be exhausted," said Sakura. You need rest to you know."
Naruto sighed in defeat.
"Fine Sakura-chan I guess you're right, but no more excuses once you get back tomorrow. I'll be fully rested by then."
"Deal, I look forward to seeing just what you have in store for me Naruto," purred Sakura.
"Well you know you could find out right now, but you're too tired so you'll just have to wait and see," said Naruto playfully.
Sakura rolled her eyes. Her reply to his teasing was throwing a washcloth right into his face.
Sakura came out from the restroom first. Her hair was still damp and she wore the same black shirt Naruto had given her. She listened as the shower water hummed in the background. Naruto had wanted some time alone in the shower just to relax. If it was any other day she knew he just wanted time alone to relieve himself since she didn't want a second round with him, but this wasn't the case this time around. It was obvious that he was really worn out from his mission, and having sex had taken him even further into exhaustion.
It was better that he stayed in the shower, this gave Sakura time to clean up her room while she gathered her thoughts. She walked over to her dresser and got herself a clean pair of baby blue panties. She slipped them on and got to cleaning up her room.
She picked up her boyfriends clothes and forehead protector. She folded them and laid them on top of her dresser. Naruto liked sleeping naked after sex anyway, so there was no point in giving them to him. Sakura then picked up his backpack and placed it on the floor near her dresser. That left just one last item on the floor; it was the nicely wrapped carnations Naruto had gotten for her.
"Oh Naruto you're such a sweetheart," said Sakura as she picked up her gift.
She took the pink carnations to the kitchen, flicked on the light switch, and walked over to the kitchen counter top. She had a large vase with some old roses in them she had gotten last week from a patient. She took them out, poured the old water down the sink, gave the vase a quick rinse, added fresh water, and the she placed the carnations in their new home. Sakura admired her new flowers for a few moments. Naruto was such a charmer at times."
Sakura yawned as she made her way to bed. She turned the light off in the kitchen, and double check the door to make sure it was locked. She climbed into bed, pulled the covers over her head, and curled up into a ball. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Now that she was alone with her thoughts reality of her situation hit her hard.
She hadn't even given Naruto a chance to finish his sentence when she first saw him. In reality Sakura wasn't entirely sure why she did what she did. When she first saw Naruto she had lost all control and she wanted nothing more than to just be with him. She wanted him to hold her, kiss her, and make love to her. Sakura placed her hand over her neck where Naruto had bitten her. She had healed her wound while in the shower, however due to the Kyuubi's strong chakra a scar was always visible.
She sighed as she lay in bed. So many thoughts were rushing through her mind. Naruto was back, and she wouldn't be able to avoid the inevitable fact that they were expecting a child. She needed to know how she was going to tell him in the morning. She wasn't sure if she could wait until he got back into his normal routine, like Ino has suggested. Keeping something like this from him until then felt wrong, and the guilt was already eating away at her. She didn't think she'd be feeling like this so early on, but she had to come clean, and she needed to do it just right. Sakura couldn't help but yawn, even though she was determined to figure out a solution her body had other plans. She felt her eyelids grow, heavier, and the next thing she knew, she was fast asleep.
Naruto looked up at the shower head with his eyes closed as the water hit his face. It felt so good to be home, and this shower was just what he needed. Sakura had helped him clean up, and he did the same for her, now he was simply relaxing. Naruto sighed, it was a pity they couldn't have helped each out in other ways, but it was probably for the best.
His body was worn out, just like Sakura had suspected. Sure he had the Kyuubi's abilities to heal quickly, tons of stamina, and large amounts of chakra, but even he had his limits. Then there was the state of his mental health, he was beyond mentally exhausted.
Luckily he was home so he knew he didn't have to worry about anything stressing him out. He ran his fingers through his wet hair and stretched his body. Taking these long missions really sucked, but the welcome home sex was well worth it.
Suddenly his eyes shot open, he hadn't worn a condom. Usually Sakura was always keen on reminding him of using one. She was on birth control too, but they both agreed to take extra precautions. He had to admit not using a condom was pretty amazing, but he knew this time was probably it just a one-time thing.
Oh well I might as well kiss goodbye to raw sex with Sakura-chan. Maybe she was so caught up in the moment like I was that she didn't think about using a condom. Well at least she's on the pill so one time with no condom should be ok, not like this one time I'll get her pregnant.
Naruto turned the water off in the shower and pulled the curtains open. The restroom was engulfed with steam from the shower. He grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around her waist. He stepped out of the tub and shook his head splattering water all over the fogged mirror.
"Man it feels great to be clean," sighed Naruto.
He wiped the foggy mirror with his hand so that he could see his reflection. He looked around the sink for the toothbrush he always left just in case he spent the night at Sakura's. He saw it placed in the toothbrush holder next to his girlfriend's. Even after his shower the taste of Sakura's blood was still in his mouth. He had really bitten her hard this time, maybe a little too hard.
"I hope I didn't hurt her too bad," whispered Naruto.
He shook the idea from his mind, if he had in fact been too rough with Sakura she would have let him know. Naruto reached for his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth. Once done he tried to place the toothbrush back in its holder, but he accidentally knocked it over causing his toothbrush to fall to the ground, but Naruto caught it before it hit the floor.
"Phew that was a close one."
He put the toothbrush holder back on the counter and placed his toothbrush back in its proper spot. Suddenly something in the trash can caught his attention. He bent down so that he could get a closer look. It looked like a plastic thermometer. He pulled it out of the trash can and examined it. At first he had no idea what it was, but upon further examination he noticed the tiny blue plus mark inside it. His mouth dropped open and his legs gave way causing him to land on the toilet seat in shock.
It's a pregnancy test, why in the world would this be in Sakura-chan's trash can?
His hand was trembling, he was confused, what did this mean? He knew the only way he was going to find out what to get an answer so he rose from the toilet seat and quickly opened the bathroom door.
"Sakura-chan is this what I think it is!?" Asked Naruto.
He got no answer though, Sakura was sound asleep. The blonde haired shinobi stood there dumbfounded in the entrance of the bathroom; water still dripping from his hair.
"This can't be right, it just can't be," said Naruto while pulling his hair back in frustration.
"She can't be pregnant, can she?"
"You can be such a naïve fool you know that," yawned the Kyuubi.
Naruto listened as the demon fox inside him spoke. Now that they were considered one the Kyuubi would randomly pop up into Naruto's head just to put in his two cents whenever he felt it was needed.
"What do you mean naïve!?" Naruto shouted in his defense.
"She is pregnant Naruto, don't worry though it's ours, our mate is loyal even though we've been on a long mission."
Naruto shook his head in disbelief.
"How can you be so sure, you know this test could easily belong to Ino or Tenten."
"Her scent you idiot, you smelled it while you were mating with her did you not?"
"That's right, I did notice that she smelled, and tasted different, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly why. Her being pregnant is the reason why she smells different?"
"Yes, she's with child Naruto."
"When did it happen?"
"Don't you remember about a month and a half ago when Sakura drove you insane with any movement she did."
Naruto crossed his arms trying to remember. His eyes widen, how could he forget that passionate night they had both shared.
"I do, come to think of it, that was some insane sex."
The Kyuubi snickered; its laughter, echoed in Naruto's head.
"Well she was at the peak of her ovulation cycle that day, so in my terms she was in heat. That's why she was driving us both crazy that day."
"Hey but wait, I wore a condom, and Sakura was on birth control how could this happen?!"
"Keh when you smelled her and I knew she was in heat your sperm was infused with my chakra so it ripped right through that condom. Plus human drugs such as birth control mean nothing when a mythical creature wants to impregnate his mate. You knew what you were doing that night kid, you just weren't aware of it at the time."
"So you're saying I meant for this to happen?!"
"Yes deep down you did, you were reacting to your instincts, and that's my department, so I gave you what we both wanted."
"This can't be happening," said Naruto, the color from his face was fading.
"Why are you upset? You should be proud our mate is carrying our pup, or pups if she has a larger litter. She's young, beautiful, and strong. She's a proper woman to bare our offspring. Besides I know we love her and she loves us too, so what's the problem?"
Naruto walked back into the bathroom placing the pregnancy test on the sink.
"I don't know, this is just the last thing I thought I'd be coming home too. Sakura-chan pregnant isn't a bad thing. I am happy, I'm just in shock that's all."
"Well get over it Naruto, what's done is done. We need to provide a larger den for our mate now. Our pup is going to need room to grow, run, and thrive. Neither her place, nor ours will suffice, they are both too small. Plus we must provide her with plenty of food and protection, no harm must come to her."
"You're right about that, it looks like we have a lot on hands right now."
"It won't be that hard, then again, you are just a young human," said the Kyuubi.
With those last words the demon fox left Naruto alone in the restroom to gather his thoughts.
