(2 Month April)
They only had a month before the semester ended for school thankfully so they were both happy about it. They both wanted to get out of Konoha to get away from Itachi's oppressive father but they made sure to be right in school first.
It has been a week since Sasuke broke up with Naruko and they didn't talk to each other since. He was shocked that she didn't try to talk to him he actually expected her to. She didn't talk to anyone really. He did see her talk to Itachi here and there and it was starting to piss him off.
"Why do you keep talking to my brother?" Sasuke asked approaching her as she was leaving the school for her doctor's appointment.
"Why is it your business? You wanted me to stay away from you and I am. What more do you want from me?" Naruko asked.
"Tell me," Sasuke said pushing her into the lockers so she couldn't leave.
She gasped and before she could retaliate Itachi pulled his brother away from her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Itachi growled out grabbing his brother by the arm harshly.
It was the most aggressive both Naruko and Sasuke has ever seen Itachi and before it could get any worse Naruko cried out. She was in pain now in her lower back.
"Are you okay?" Itachi asked letting his brother go with a rough push and going to her.
Sasuke didn't know what was happening. He really didn't understand it either.
"You're with my brother now?" Sasuke asked hurt and anger clear in his voice.
"No, she's not," Itachi said as he picked her up.
Sasuke could see the tears coming down her face and didn't know what she was crying about.
"It's okay Naru shush," Itachi said with his pass walking out of the school with her leaving his brother shocked and at the moment he really didn't care.
Naruko and Itachi were gone before Sasuke even got outside. What was wrong with Naruko that it hurt her from that one push? She was stronger than that he would know out of anyone. She fought him plenty of times for fun.
Itachi took Naruko to every doctor's appointment. He made sure she ate everything healthy as much as he could while being around. It was only the second month and it seemed to be the hardest so far for her and for him seeing as he has been taking care of her.
"Did he hurt you?" Itachi asked as they drove to the doctor.
"A little on my lower back but I really just wanted you two to stop fighting," Naruko said holding her stomach.
"If he would have hurt you badly I would have gone home later and beat him," Itachi said.
"He doesn't know about the baby," Naruko said.
"When are you going to tell him?" Itachi asked curiously.
"I don't know how to tell him," Naruko said with a sigh. "He doesn't even want to talk to me at school and ignores all my phone calls," Naruko said softly.
"Do you want me to tell him?" Itachi asked.
"Oh dear god no, I want to tell him I should have told him that day when we broke up but I didn't. It was a bit overwhelming that day." Naruko said.
"Yeah you should have but I do agree that day was awful as it is and would have been hard to talk to anyone about it when your relationship is hanging in the balance," Itachi said.
Itachi was a lot more talkative than Sasuke to Naruko and that shocked her because he always seemed stoic and closed off but he showed her that he really did care since she mentioned the pregnancy and she was glad someone was on her side.
"Itachi," Naruko whispered to him in the quiet car after five minutes of not saying anything.
"Yeah?" Itachi said glancing at her.
"Do you think it would have changed anything if I did tell Sasuke that I'm pregnant?" Naruko asked.
"Honestly... I don't know because... I thought my father would accept you if he heard that but instead, he gave you a check to get rid of the baby." Itachi said.
"That really hurt," Naruko said softly.
"Yeah... it hurt me too," Itachi said looking straight ahead.
Naruko knew how much those words affected Itachi that day when his father gave her the check. She wasn't there for the aftermath but she knew that Itachi and Fugaku weren't on speaking terms even now.
"I mean what he said was pure evil and fucked up," Itachi said shaking his head as he pulled into the doctor's office.
"Itachi I am happy you have my back. I don't completely understand why you have my back but I am happy that you do." Naruko said with a soft smile.
He gave her a smile back and got out the car going to her side to help her. He wouldn't tell her his real feelings for her because he knows he will never have a chance so he would rather help her the best way he could. If that meant taking care of her then so be it.
The doctor's appointment showed that she was fine and the baby was okay at the moment but she needed to be stress-free as much as she could or it could affect the baby. The doctor gave her vitamins to take every day and also gave them nutrient documents so she could eat healthier during her pregnancy.
"We should go get books while we're out," Naruko said as they drove to her apartment.
"Books on pregnancy?" Itachi asked tilting his head back to look at her.
"Yeah, it will be fun to read it up more. We can get books about everything." Naruko said starting to actually get excited about the baby.
Itachi couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. He only wished he was the one having the baby with her instead of his little brother. He knew it would never happen though and that hurt his heart too.
"That sounds like fun. Can we go tomorrow? I have to go back to my house for dinner with my parents because I have been ignoring everyone in favor of staying with you." Itachi said with a smile appearing on his face that made Naruko smile too.
"Yeah that's fine; we can go after school tomorrow," Naruko said as they pulled into her apartment complex.
"Okay well, I have the key so I will be around after dinner," Itachi said as she got out the car.
"Okay thank you, Itachi I really appreciate you so much," Naruko said giving him a hug which was returned and then she got out the car and went to her apartment.
Itachi drove to his house not really looking forward to seeing his brother or his father. He has been ignoring them both since the incident with Naruko. Itachi was beyond livid with his family and the only reason he was going to have dinner with them was that his mother asked him to be here.
"Itachi," Fugaku said as Itachi walked into the door.
"What?" Itachi said a bit snippy.
"Why did you leave early from school?" Fugaku asked.
"None of your business," Itachi said and walked upstairs to his room ignoring his father's calls to him.
Thankfully dinner in the Uchiha household was early because Itachi doesn't think he could last another hour in the house acting like he was okay with everything going on.
"So how has school been going for you boys?" Mikoto asked.
"It's been fine," Itachi said calmly.
"It has been good," Sasuke said wanting to bring up Naruko but not doing it.
"Where is that beautiful blonde? Naruko is her name? Where has she been?" Mikoto asked making Fugaku scoff.
"Father doesn't like her so he made Sasuke break up with her and Sasuke did," Itachi said honestly not wanting to hide anything especially not to his mother.
"You both will be fine you don't need to be with trash. You can find a dignified girl with standing in the world. Not trash from the side of the road. Then you can have great heirs." Fugaku said getting a disgusted look from Itachi and Mikoto who was disappointed with him.
"She isn't trash," Sasuke said sticking up for her which kind of shocked Fugaku and Itachi because he hasn't been saying anything for Naruko that he knew of.
"And who said anything about me having heirs? I will never have kids." Itachi said shocking everyone at the table.
"What? Heirs are important." Fugaku said.
"Really? Heirs are important you say?" Itachi growled out annoyed standing up in his chair already hitting his breaking point. "Heirs are so important but you're willing to throw them away. You make me sick. Mother, I'm sorry but I refuse to stay in this house with this man any longer." Itachi snapped throwing his napkin on the table and walked out of the room.
No one even got a word in before Itachi was in his room packing a bag and walking out the door heading to his car. Everyone in the room was shocked by Itachi's words and no one really knew what to say. Sasuke stood up excusing himself from the table going upstairs finding his brother's door open. Sasuke walked into his room and saw all the clutter. It was nothing like his brother and how he usually is. The clothes his brother wore frequently were gone and so were his bathroom essentials though if he was honest those were gone for a while now. Now his laptop was gone along with a few other things. His brother was always so collected but at this point his brother was angry and it was directed at his father.
Sasuke decided to call Naruko thinking that she might know what's going on. He didn't realize how right he was.
(Phone Call)
"Hello Sasuke," Naruko answered sounding exhausted.
"Do you know why my brother is so angry at my father?" Sasuke asked.
"Because your father is an asshole I'm assuming," Naruko said.
"Refrain from talking about my father like that." Sasuke snapped.
"So, it's okay for him to call me trash and a disgrace but I can't call him what he really is?" Naruko asked.
"I didn't call you to talk about my father," Sasuke said.
"You kind of did because you asked me why your brother was so angry at your father," Naruko said.
"Naruko don't start," Sasuke said.
"Sasuke I need to tell you something," Naruko said sounding nervous.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm p..." Naruko started but she couldn't get the words out her mouth too scared to tell him.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm pregnant," Naruko said softly then she heard the dial tone.
(Phone Call End)
Naruko cried and went to the bathroom. She didn't want to talk to anyone for the rest of the night.
Itachi went to pick up some food for Naruko and himself because he couldn't eat what they made at his mother's house. He was still annoyed by what happened tonight and wanted to punch his father in the face. But he could honestly say he was excited to be back in Naruko's apartment.
He finally got to the apartment and was shocked to find it completely dark and quiet. But after he got in more of the apartment he heard the crying which made him throw his bags on the couch and run to where Naruko was. Yeah, she was naked but he didn't care about that at the moment.
"Naruko what's wrong?" Itachi asked turning off the water then wrapping her towel around her.
"Itachi..." Naruko cried grabbing a hold of him.
"What happened?" Itachi asked softly pulling her out of the shower.
He was concerned about her more than necessary today because the doctor said today that they needed to be careful with her second month with stress. Whatever happened it happened while he was away.
She didn't stop crying though just held on to him tighter. He carried her to her room and set her on the bed. That night he slept next to her crying shaking form and wasn't sure what to say or do so he just held her. He ignored the feeling he got as she was pressed against him in order to soothe her with calm words that seemed to put her to sleep. Itachi just lets it happen he didn't push her away or anything. He just let her curl into him and that alone made him happy and fall asleep until he heard a knock on the door.
He looked at his phone to see the time and realized it was one in the morning. Who would come at this time at night? He got up from the bed covering Naruko up with the blanket completely as she continued to sleep. He got up and went to answer the door shocked to see his little brother at the door.
"Where is Naruko?" Sasuke asked ignoring the question he wanted to ask his brother about why he was here if they weren't dating.
"She's sleeping after crying for a while before that," Itachi said honestly wanting to make his brother feel guilty because he knew it was his brother's fault. "Do you want to come inside or stand out here?" Itachi asked gesturing for him to come in by standing out the way.
Sasuke walked into the house but didn't go toward the bedroom instead went to the living room where flashbacks of him breaking up with Naruko came back. Itachi followed his brother and sat on the couch next to his things.
"You're staying with her now?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah, that is if she lets me. I haven't asked her yet." Itachi said scratching the back of his head.
Then there was silence between the two neither talking and just stared at one another.
"Why are you here Sasuke?" Itachi asked.
"I wanted to talk to Naruko," Sasuke said.
"Why didn't you come earlier?" Itachi asked.
"Why does it matter? Why are you here?" Sasuke asked annoyed with all the questions.
"I have been helping her get through something that is none of your business unless she tells you," Itachi said not fazed by his brother being annoyed.
"Are you talking about her being pregnant?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi looked up quickly shocked. That's why she cried earlier.
"What did you say to her earlier?" Itachi growled out standing up.
"I didn't say anything I just hung up because I was shocked and then I tried calling her back and there was no answer for hours," Sasuke said.
Itachi sat back down and looked toward the room and then back to his brother.
"What are you going to do?" Itachi asked.
"I want to be involved in the baby's life," Sasuke said.
"What about Naruko's?" Itachi asked.
"Of course but I think she should prove to father that she doesn't want to be with me over money. Father thinks that all she is after is our money if she goes to college and then comes back for me then we can be with each other again." Sasuke said.
"Are you fucking kidding me? So is she supposed to go through this pregnancy and raising the baby alone?" Itachi snapped at his brother.
"I will do it," Naruko said with determination in her eyes.
She was dressed thankfully or Itachi would have been irritated.
"But that means you won't be able to see the baby until I get back from college," Naruko said.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Itachi asked looking between Naruko and Sasuke.
"If it will prove to my father that you're not trying to be with me for my money and my name then yeah I will do it," Sasuke said.
"What about you not knowing the baby?" Itachi asked.
"I will have time to know the baby after she gets back," Sasuke said.
"Are you... you know what do what you two think is right. I'm going to lie down so you can talk to each other in private." Itachi said walking out of the room.
He set his stuff on the floor by the door.
"Itachi put it in the room," Naruko said softly making him walk back grabbing the stuff.
He didn't want to let her go back to his brother but he didn't want to hurt Naruko or Sasuke by saying anything more.
"You two seem rather close," Sasuke said jealously.
"He has been looking out for me since that day," Naruko said looking away.
"He said tonight during dinner that he was never going to have heirs and blew up at our father. He apologized to my mother and said he couldn't live with our father anymore." Sasuke told her.
"Your father must have really pissed him off like that one day," Naruko said.
"What day?" Sasuke asked.
"That day you broke up with me," Naruko said.
"What did my father do?" Sasuke asked trying to get closer to her but she seemed to keep her distance from him.
"He wrote me a check and told me to get rid of it," Naruko said shocking Sasuke.
"Did you take the check?" Sasuke asked.
"I ripped it up and threw it in his face," Naruko said.
"Oh, you didn't think about getting rid of it?" Sasuke asked.
"No never, and if you tell me to get rid of it then you can get out of my house," Naruko said standing up angry.
"I wasn't going to say that I was just curious on if it ever crossed your mind," Sasuke said standing up pulling Naruko to the couch with him.
"If you did I would be so angry with you," Naruko whispered as he pulled her into a hug.
"I will have the strength to take care of you in the future I promise," Sasuke said.
"I don't want you to take care of me I just want to be with you," Naruko said with a chuckle as tears fell from her face.
"Stay strong," Sasuke said as he pulled away looking at her face wiping the tears from her eyes.
He felt bad he really did but he needed to make a life for him to be even remotely what Naruko and the child needed. He needed his father in his life not do this on his own. He didn't have the strength right now but he will have it. He wasn't like his older brother where he could give up everything.
"I have to go now," Sasuke said brushing her hair back and getting up before he started crying himself.
It was hard for him too despite what others may think and he didn't really know what he was going to do to get his father to agree to his relationship but he wanted the acceptance.
He walked to the door with Naruko following him so she could lock the door and he turned to her one last time giving her a sad smile.
"Don't worry so much I will go to school and make something of myself. I promise," Naruko said.
Sasuke hugged her one last time but pulled away quickly so she couldn't reciprocate back and ran down the stairs. It hurt his heart very much and the moment he got to his car he broke and let the tears fall freely.
Naruko locked the door and walked back to her room quietly. She saw Itachi's laying down facing the window and wasn't sure if he was awake or not but her heart was broken.
"Itachi," Naruko whispered with a broken sob.
"Come to lay down," Itachi whispered and lifted the blanket for her and she did just that.
She didn't face him though and he understood why. She was crying again and all he could do was calm her.
"It's okay to cry," Itachi whispered kissing the back of her head and she sobbed harder turning quickly in his arms crying harder making Itachi tear up too. "I am here with you no matter what I promise," Itachi said softly and that night was probably one of the harder nights.
They fell asleep but one had a tear-stained face while the other one had a frown on his face. It was going to be hard no matter what happens.
