"Sasuke," the girl whispered as she moved into view from behind her bathroom door, looking as if she hadn't slept in weeks, while her throat bobbing slightly as she swallowed very slowly. Her green eyes widened and her hands were shaking as she held a tiny little stick in her hands. His eyes went wide as well, when he realized what it was and what she was about to say. But she says it anyway… regardless of the fact that they both knew what was coming next.
"Babe, I… I think that I'm… pregnant."
'Pregnant? Sakura's… pregnant? Fuck.'
.
.
.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
And, silence.
The ticking of the wall clock is the only thing to be heard for a while, until she decides to break the awkward silence between them with some gentle questioning.
"Uh, Sasuke… a-are you okay?" Sakura stood with slightly shaky hands still firmly clutching onto the little plastic stick and holding it to her chest while her gaze remained locked onto Sasuke's darker one. The youngest Uchiha remained rooted to the spot, completely frozen and unblinking. The pinkette began to worry when he didn't respond, and grew even more concerned when he seemed to freeze in place. Sakura took a tentative step forward and his onyx irises remained locked onto her, but his body didn't move. It was slightly unnerving and started to make her uncomfortable. "Umm, S-Sasuke? Hello? Are you okay, babe?"
Still nothing.
Her plump cheeks began to dust a light, pinkish hue at his scrutiny and she averted her gaze to the floor, whilst biting her bottom lip and pleading for the tears at the edge of her eyes to remain in place. "I know this is unexpected and all, well maybe not that unexpected, but I just, well I hope that you are okay with this news. I don't even know if this thing is completely accurate, you know. I guess I will have to make an appointment really soon with my gynecologist for confirmation but, I would be lying if I said I think it's a false positive. You know what I mean, babe. Hello, Sasuke? Did you hear me? Are you even listening to a word I'm saying or are you just ignoring me?"
She let out a huge, disappointed breath when he remained silent and moved to stand in front of him. "Hey…," the teen said while she placed her free hand upon his cheek, which seemed to finally startle Sasuke enough to make him look down at her. "Are you alright, babe," she asked him again, but he ignored her question and just grabbed onto her hips gently. Sakura could feel his body shaking slightly and her heart constricted painfully behind her ribcage.
'Don't fucking cry, Sakura Haruno. Whatever you do, just don't—'
"Pregnant…," he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
She nodded and closed her eyes. "I hope you're not angry or something." Sasuke placed a hand against her heated cheek to gather her attention once again.
"Why would I be angry, beautiful?"
"I don't know, you kind of froze up on me," she chuckled as the first tear slipped down her cheek. He brushed it away with his thumb and his expression immediately softened to one of adoration and complete devotion.
"I'm not angry, my love. I was just… shocked, that's all."
"Really? Should you be though," she asked with a slightly teasing tone and a raised brow. He shook his head and his lips pulled up significantly as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"I guess not." She hesitated and bit her bottom lip. "What's wrong, Sakura," Sasuke asked when he noticed her slight hesitation and nervousness to continue.
"I just… will you go with me, Sasuke? When I go and find out for sure, I mean."
"Of course," he whispered and leaned forward to give her a gentle kiss. "I will always be there for you, beautiful." She was suddenly lifted from the ground and a loud squeal left her lips as she wrapped herself around him. He twirled her once, before setting her on the ground, his thin lips coming down hard on hers. "I can't believe it… we're going to have a baby! You don't know how happy I am right now, Sak. I fucking love you so much, beautiful." She clung to him, his happiness spilling out and putting her heart at ease, if only for a little while that is.
"I love you too, babe." When he leaned away, she glanced up to see a wide grin spreading from cheek to cheek, and his dark, onyx-colored eyes twinkled warmly. She couldn't help but to smile back, joyful tears now slipping from her watery eyes.
"This means we're planning the wedding soon then, right?" Sakura smacked his chest playfully and pushed him away from her as she rolled her eyes. He held his hands up, but the smile never slipped from his lips. "What? Is it so wrong of me to want to marry you now, love; so that we can start to build our future together and have a good foundation set up before the baby comes?"
"Oh of course not! It's not that. Just… baby steps. No pun intended. Let's get this appointment over with first, so that we can confirm whether or not I'm actually pregnant, okay. Then we can get all of the finer details sorted out after that and hopefully have a game plan in place, if I am that is."
Sasuke nodded once and then pulled her back to him for another passionate kiss. "Alright, my love. Whatever you wish, so shall it be." Sakura rolled her eyes and chuckled against his mouth.
"Why are you so dramatic, babe?"
"I'm not dramatic," he insisted while pulling away with a wide smirk. "Besides, you know you love it, Sakura."
She couldn't argue with her fiancé on that point. She did in fact love everything about him; very, very much.
.
.
.
It was approximately two weeks later, when Sakura was finally able to make the appointment with her gynecologist and Sasuke was there to pick her up for the appointment, on the pretense that they would be meeting their friends at a local diner soon for lunch (which they would be doing but a little bit later). "So, how are you feeling today, beautiful? Have you had any morning sickness or nausea," he asked his fiancé as he made the move to switch lanes in order to bypass an elderly couple and two others on the freeway.
She shrugged her shoulders and he reached for her hand. "Nothing I can't handle, but I haven't been feeling the best. I swear if that test was a false positive, I'll be pissed." The young man beside her chuckled deeply and squeezed her hand gently for reassurance and to show her his support.
"We will ask them if there is anything you can take for it. I am almost positive the test wasn't wrong, Sakura."
"Yeah well, I have a lot of questions for them when we find out for sure either way."
"Don't worry, Sak. I'm here for you," Sasuke insisted whilst bringing her hand up for a gentle kiss. "I'm sure everything will be just fine; you wait and see." The pinkette watched her lover's side profile for a long while, before letting out a defeated sigh.
"I'll take your word for it," she whispered as she leaned her head against the passenger seat and smiled, her vibrant gaze shifting to the side to watch the cars and buildings go by as they drove closer to their destination.
.

"We will need a plan, love. We can't just go in this blind..."
"Sasuke?"
"Also, what about diapers, wipes, clothes, a crib…"
"Uh, babe?"
"… and another thing…"
"Sasuke? Hello?"
"… what about names as well? We can't forget that! But… then, do we decide right away or wait until it's born? What does it say in the pamphlets, beautiful? I should probably look for a job now too, right? What about school? How will we do that and take care of the baby? I mean, we're going to be out soon, but then there's college to think about and your cheerleading practice and also, what abou…"
"SASUKE!" Sakura had to speak up in order to be heard over him and she grabbed onto his arm before squeezing it gently. "You need to calm down now. We have plenty of time to decide all of these things, I'm only ten weeks along right now after all. What's the rush?"
Sasuke rubbed his hand through his hair when they hit a stop light and pulled his arm free from her grasp in order to intertwine their fingers tightly. "You're right, Sak. I'm sorry. It's just that, well this is…"
"I know," she said with a nod and a gentle smile. "But we have a few months at the very least to prepare properly. I just have one major concern at the moment."
"What is it?" His gaze was intense when it met hers.
She bit her lip and frowned. "How do we tell our parents?"
.
.
.
The decision to keep it a secret for now, was a mutual one, and so when they met up with their friends just a half an hour later than they had originally planned, they never said a word.
"So," Ino asked, while taking a sip from her glass. "What have you two been up to this morning? Your mom said you would be at the diner by twelve, but it's half past. So, what was the deal? What held you up?"
Sakura began to blush profusely and her palms began to sweat, but just as she was opening her mouth to speak, someone interrupted her.
"Oh, you know how those two are," the only other blonde in the group began and the sight of the half-chewed up food rolling in his mouth almost made Sakura gag. "They can't keep it in their pants for more than a few seconds at a time or so. I'm surprised they haven't excused themselves from the table yet to go and get it on in the bathroom or car or something like that."
Sasuke frowned deeply and threw one of his cold fries at his best friend, which hit its mark, causing the boy to laugh hysterically at his own joke. "It's not even like that, idiot."
"Oh yeah," the young teen continued as he leaned heavily against the tabletop. "What about the poo… OUCH! What was that for!?" Naruto bent and began to rub at his shin while giving the Uchiha a dirty look. Sasuke only smirked.
"Serves you right. Anyway, what are you all doing about exams?"
Sakura thanks the lord above for Sasuke's quick thinking. She would show him her appreciation later, although Ino continued to look at them skeptically throughout the rest of their lunch.
Afterwards, Sasuke and Sakura made plans to meet at his house for dinner with his family just a few days later before he dropped her off at her front door.
.
.
.
Sakura was just finishing with her studying and was just about to prepare to dress for Sasuke's house, when her phone began to vibrate, indicating an incoming message. Her smile quickly turned when she read the message that was flashing rapidly across the screen.
Sakura, I'm sorry.
She quickly typed a response and moved to her closet to pick out a shirt to go with her leggings, coming back just a moment later to another cryptic reply from her fiancé.
Just know that it was NOT my decision. I had nothing to do with this, my love.
Nothing to do with what, Sasuke? What's going on?
Can you drive yourself here tonight? I won't be able to pick you up this time. Father has forbidden me to leave tonight.
Again, what's going on?
It's best if I explain once you arrive. Just hurry over please, but be safe.
Fine. I'll see you soon, but you better explain to me what's happened. Alight.
I will. I love you.
I love you too.
With her nerves now shot and her heart racing a marathon behind her ribs, Sakura quickly finished getting dressed and then drove herself the few miles it would take to get to his house in less than a few minutes.
Though once she had arrived, she wished that she hadn't.
.
.
.
There, in the doorway she stood, mouth agape and tears slowly forming in her eyes as she bears witness to the most horrific sight she could think of. Sasuke stood, in his most elegant of dress wear, next to a young woman who was clinging to his left arm like a vice.
She wore the most beautiful shade of blue that Sakura had ever seen, the formal dress reaching down to the floor and clinging to the woman's every curve, (in the best possible way) showcasing her very feminine figure whilst her brown hair hung down her back in waves. When her fiancé finally noticed her, he gave her a weary smile and begged her to come to him with his eyes. She noticed how he didn't try to move away from the woman and her irritation grew.
'Who is this bitch and why is she touching my man?'
Sakura cautiously approached the pair and when she had reached his side, Sasuke finally slipped his arm out of the bitch's grasp and placed it around her own waist. "You are earlier than I thought you would be, love," he purred, then placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. When his lips brushed against her ear affectionately afterwards, he whispered, "I'm glad. I will explain later when we are alone, okay?"
"You'd better," Sakura hissed, her lips slightly pierced and her body tense beside him. He gave her a gentle squeeze.
"Don't be angry, it was father's idea," he whispered before pulling away to address the now confused looking woman. "Sakura, this is Mayumi Abe, one of my father's assistant's daughters. Mayumi, this is Sakura Haruno, my fiancé."
Mayumi's amber eyes widened significantly and her mouth dropped open on a silent gasp. "O-oh… I had no idea that you were engaged. Father never mentioned it."
"I'm certain that it wasn't a topic that my father would have wanted to discuss with your father, Mayumi. Normally he doesn't like mixing business with pleasure. Anyway, shall we all go to the dining room now? I think that dinner will be ready shortly."
Mayumi appeared as if she was contemplating something before she plastered a smile on her red-stained lips. "Oh of course, let's go."
Hours later…
Sakura sat through the most awkward dinner she had ever been to, with Sasuke squeezing her hand a majority of the time while his father went on and on about all of Mayumi's apparent accomplishments. 'I mean what is this anyway, a damn marriage interview or something? You would think this bitch saved the entire human population without even breaking a fucking nail with how he's going on about her.'
Sasuke was walking her to the front door, his hand firmly holding onto her while his other rested in his pocket. "I am so sorry about all of this, beautiful. I wasn't expecting him to invite her to dinner tonight."
"Your family seems to really love her," Sakura noted, slight bitterness seeping into her tone while she ground her teeth together. Her heart clenched painfully when he nodded in affirmation and her mood turned sour. She pulled her hand from his and crossed her arms over her chest. Mayumi's laughter reached her ears from the living room, causing an unwelcome chill to race down her spine.
"Hey," Sasuke asked, concern clearly evident in his voice. "What's wrong?" He tried to reach for her, but she moved away, forcing the angry tears to stay in place.
'Maybe, he would be better off with someone like her. An accomplished woman who has everything going for her.'
"I've gotta go. I don't think I can do this anymore, Sasuke."
"Sakura, I—"
"I'm sorry. It's over."
.
.
.
Sakura had run, like a coward, and she felt the pain in her chest only tighten as she cried harder.
Tears continued to fall as she pressed her face deeper into her pillowcase, soaking the white fabric beneath her all the way down to the plush material below. A soft knock at her window just minutes after her arrival startled her, and she glanced up to see a familiar pair of black eyes. Her green orbs widened and she moved from her mattress quickly, her legs carrying her to the window while her hands lifted the barrier between them. "What the hell are you doing…," she hissed, but Sasuke ignored her and pushed past her to climb into her room; whilst the dark anger surrounding him was coming off of him in waves, nearly choked her. "I just asked you a quest…"
"What am I doing? What the fuck are you doing, Sakura? Saying that it's over and then just running away from me while I'm trying to talk to you? What the hell? I deserve an explanation, now!"
The pinkette began to shake in anger, her lips pouting and her eyes narrowing. Her hands balled into fists before she shoved him, but his body was like a mountain, immovable. The tears began to fall anew. "I told you already… we are done, that's all you need to know. Now get out before my parents come up here and see you!"
"No. I'm not leaving until you explain to me why you think it is okay to rip my heart in two." Sakura flinched when she didn't speak and he grasped her shoulders then squeezed, though he wasn't as harsh as she had expected. "I'm not giving up that easily on you, love. Not now, not ever. You… you are everything to me! Don't you know that," he hissed, pulling her flush against him and trapping her arms at her sides. She was forced to look at him when he grasped her by the jaw with his thumb and forefinger. "Can't you see it. Haven't I proven it? Do I need to remind you or show you again, Sakura? Get it through your thick head that you are fucking stuck with me for good."
He didn't give her a chance to respond before his lips were upon hers and seconds later, he had her on the floor, with his hand swiftly tugging at her leggings as he ripped them down her legs. He easily spread her and his fingers found purchase against her clothed, damp cunt, instantly rubbing vigorous circles around her nub; sending her back arching and her nails digging into the flesh on his scalp where they rested.
Her fiancé silenced her moans with his lips and tongue as she ground her hips against his rough fingertips, her body instantly reacting to his dominance in a way of submission. She was his and she knew it… she didn't even know what she was thinking when she broke up with him. She wasn't, that's why.
"S-Sasu— AHHH!"
Sasuke pulled away from her mouth (but just barely) and watched his lover come undone beneath him. His thin lips twisted darkly as he continued to push her, long after the last waves of euphoria had left her system, which caused her to whimper and try to twist her body away from him.
He wouldn't allow it.
"Nope, I'm not done yet. I'm going to show you how much you mean to me. I'm going to show you who you belong to and when I'm done, you will have no doubts, beautiful." He ripped her panties off, not even bothering to try to save the flimsy fabric and she gasped while clinging to him harder.
"S-Sasuke, I'm s-so—"
"I know, my love," he hissed as he unzipped his pants and then pulled them down past his hips. As soon as he was free, he adjusted himself above her and angled his cock at her entrance. His gaze met hers and it was dark, but also full of affection, pain, longing, lust, love—
"I love you, baby," he whispered before he thrust, hard. If it wasn't for his hand clamping over her mouth, Sakura was sure that her screams would have woken her parents. He was absolutely relentless in his passion that night, shoving her into her plush rug roughly, over and over again, as his gaze remained locked onto hers.
Her legs rested upon his shoulders and his free hand was used to pin her hands above her head by her wrists. Her petite breasts bounced beneath her blouse while the fabric brushed her taut nipples pleasingly. She was completely at his mercy and loving every fucking second of it.
His eyes darkened.
"See it. Feel it…," he breathed against her swollen lips and she could only nod and close her eyes as the sensation of his cock fucking her became the only thing that she was aware of.
"Ahh, S-Sas… ugh!"
In and out.
Thrust, thrust, thrust.
Her muffled cries and moans.
His low grunts and almost feral groans.
They didn't last very long that night and, in the aftermath, he cuddled her next to his side, placing soothing kisses onto her crown while his fingers brushed against her slick skin. Once he had caught his breath, "Did I hurt you, beautiful?"
"N-no," she panted.
Sasuke leaned on an elbow to hover over her and looked down until he caught her gaze. "I think that I know why you tried to break up with me, love. If it's because of Mayumi… I swear that there is absolutely NOTHING between the two of us. Never had been and there certainly never will be."
"B-but…," she whispered before licking her dry lips. "Your parents adore her. I know she would be a better fit for you than I will ever be. I just thought that if I was out of the picture, you could…"
"Have I not told you before? Have you not been listening to me at all, you crazy woman? I LOVE YOU! I will only ever love you. You are my life now," he paused, placing a hand on her belly. "Along with this baby. I won't let anyone jeopardize that, not even them. Don't worry, I will explain it to my parents. They will understand my decision on this matter, eventually anyway."
"And if they don't? What then?"
"We will cross that bridge if it comes."
"But Mayumi seemed awfully happy to be by your side."
Sasuke snorted. "Of course she did, Sak. She thought she could weasel her way into some easy money. I don't give a damn what she does though, I'm yours. So don't worry."
Sakura sighed and snuggled into his side. "If you say so."
"Do I need to show you again," he asked, his tone teasing as he moved to hover above her once again. She bit her lips suggestively (the way she knew would drive him wild) and wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him closer, while he pressed his hardened cock against her sensitive inner thigh.
"Well, I…"
"Sakura, honey," her mother called loudly from beyond her bedroom door. "Are you awake, dear? We need to talk." A soft knocking on her bedroom door could be heard after that. The pinkette's green eyes had widened at the same time as her lover's did when they heard the older woman's voice.
'Mother? What the fuck could she possibly want at this late hour?'
