AN: Thank you to everyone for the reviews thus far! I really appreciate it! Also a specila thank you goes out to goldfishlover73 for helping uncover and error! Thank you! Well without further ado, here is the next chapter. :-) ENJOY!

"This isn't up for a debate Sakura."

"Like hell it isn't!" Sakura screamed, not caring anymore if they were surrounded by people in the dumpling shop. "We are not moving in together! The idea of it is completely…"

"Brilliant?" He offered, taking secret pleasure in watching her shirt tighten against her now swollen breasts with every breath.

"Absurd!" Her emerald eyes darkened with anger.

Leaning over the table he spoke in an unforgiving tone. "It's a lot less absurd than you avoiding me for two months."

The anger left her eyes, her cheeks flushing. "I was not."

She always was a terrible liar. "Don't patronize me." He sat back having to retreat from her intoxicating scent. "You've been going out of your way to keep me at bay since you told me you were pregnant." He pursed his lips. "The only doctor's appointment you've invited me to come to is the ultrasound today."

She frowned. "There's no need for you to come to my regular checkups."

So that's how she feels. Did she really believe that he didn't need to be involved in the life of his children until they were born? Well he begged to differ. He had read that twin pregnancies were harder on both mother and fetus's and he wants to do everything in his power to protect all three of them. It would completely crush him if something went wrong and he wasn't there. "I want to be there every step of the way, even your regular checkups."

She scrunched her nose up in irritation, her lips forming a small pout and he found himself crossing his arms over his chest to keep himself in check. He wanted to take her in his arms and kiss away her pout till she moaned in satisfaction.

"Fine, you can come to my appointments but we are not moving into together."

One down, one to go. "Wouldn't it make things easier for you if I was around to help?"

She bit her bottom lip an act he has to come to learn meant she was thinking. It was a good sign for him. "That's true." She finally spoke. "But I don't need help till after the babies are born, so we have plenty of time to work something out." She gave him a triumphant smile. "Even then I think we could manage without moving into together."

"Why are you so adamant to not let me help you?" He found his irritation growing again. "Is it such a terrible idea letting me take care of you?"

"I don't need you to take of me. I'm pregnant Kakashi I'm not an invalid."

"I'm not saying that." He ran a hand through his hair sighing. How could he convince her this was the right thing to do? "Money"

"What?"

That's it! "What about money? It's expensive to take care of a baby let alone two. And it's not like either of us have a bunch of money saved up." She bit her lip and he inwardly grinned. "Plus you won't be able to work soon so wouldn't it save us money if we only had one set of bills to pay rather than two? Think about it."

"Again that is something we can deal with when the babies are born." She didn't sound very convincing.

"Not if you consider we'll have to buy cribs, diapers and all that other baby stuff before they are born. Besides we would both have to have cribs at our apartments. That's more money spent right there. If we lived together it would mean we only need one of everything. Well one set anyways." He smiled. "Plus let's be honest. Neither one of our apartments is really suitable or big enough."

That luscious lip went between her teeth again. Had he finally gotten through to her? If not he'd really like to hear her try and say he was wrong when they both knew he was right. "Let's say I agreed." She frowned when his smile grew. "I haven't yet but let's say if I did we would have to agree on some conditions."

He leaned forward resting his arms on the table clasping his hand. "Like what?" If that's all it took then he would agree to anything.

"Obviously the first condition is separate bedrooms."

He scowled. Ok he'd agree to almost everything. He opened his mouth to say something but thought better of it. Even if they weren't in the same bedroom at least they were under the same roof. He nodded sharply in agreement. She raised a questioning brow as if she had been waiting for a different answer. Now he was glad he had held his tongue.

"Plus I don't want you bringing any of your dates into my home."

His frown deepened. "That condition works both ways of course." The idea of her in another man's arms made him see red.

She laughed outright at the comment. "I'm flattered you'd even think a man would find me attractive in my current state. But trust me you don't have to worry about that."

"Oh really? Cause I think you've never looked sexier."

A red hue crept up her cheeks again. "Yes well you're not normal remember." He chuckled and she averted her eyes. "Which brings me to my last condition. You Kakashi Hatake will keep your hands to yourself."

His lone eye went wide. What was she playing at? Did she intend to keep him at arm's length? He knew she didn't want a commitment, but that's not what he was offering, because he didn't want one either. He just wanted her. So why was she being so prude all of a sudden? "What are you so afraid of Sakura?"

"You."

"Why?"

"I don't like you"

"Liar" He smirked.

She frowned. "Fine, I don't want to have a physical relationship with you."

"Why?"

"You sound like a parrot."

"Then just answer the damn question already." He ordered. "Is it because you're pregnant? I read it's perfectly safe to partake in sex during pregnancy. You're only four months along, it's perfectly safe."

Sakura frowned, and opened her mouth, then closed it again, then after a short staring contest she finally spoke. "I'm five months along Kakashi."

"What? But I thought you got pregnant…" His words trailed off doing the math in his head. "So that means you got pregnant before we…." Another realization hit. Had she known already when he said they should end it? "Why didn't you tell me before I left for my mission?" He growled feeling betrayed.

"I didn't find out till after you left." She defended squaring her shoulders.

He shook his head. "That doesn't make sense, how could you have not known? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Here I was thinking you got pregnant during our last time."

"I've never had regular periods so missing one wasn't a big deal. It wasn't till…" Her words trialed off.

"It wasn't till what?" He narrowed his eyes, not liking this tight lipped side of Sakura.

"Nothing, I just didn't notice because of my irregular period." She let out an exasperated sigh.

"No way, you're not getting away with that. Spill it." He ordered. She frowned and he knew she wasn't happy with him but he didn't care right now.

"It's nothing, it's doesn't matter now." She stated but her gaze lowered to the table.

"Like hell it doesn't." Kakashi ground out the words. His anger getting the best of him. "I'm trying my best here Sakura. But enough is enough. I won't put up with this half-ass attitude you've acquired. It's ridiculous. And you not telling me you were farther along than what you made it out to be, what game are you trying to play? Don't you think that kind of news is needed? I thought I had five months to prepare but in reality I only have four. If that even, usually twin pregnancies don't even last full term." He let out a hard breath, unable to stop is ranting. "Can I even trust you now that they are actually mine?"

Before he could take back the words that he hadn't truly meant to say icy water splashed across his face. Sakura stood from her chair, empty glass still clutched tight in her hand. "Don't you ever speak to me like that again." Angry tears brimming in her eyes. "It may have been a mistake for not telling you but that gives you no right to talk to me like that." She threw the empty glass at him and he just let it bounce off his vest onto the floor while the whole restaurant now watched. He was too scared that if he moved she'd take his head off. "And for you to think so low of me that I would lie to you about being the father." Her words came out on a choked sob and she covered her mouth to stifle it with one hand her other rested on her stomach. "I really…hate you Kakashi….just...stay away…from us." She managed between sobs; she looked at him with so much pain in her eyes it killed him.

She turned away heading for the door and the old woman who owned the shop rushed to her side. Whispers from other patrons reached his ears. Kakashi's hands were trembling and he had to clench them into fists on his lap. He didn't mean to say it, hell he didn't even believe it, he knew he was the father. He had just been so angry it slipped. He jumped to his feet, his chair crashing to the floor. He had to apologize. But when he took a step to follow her, a hand grabbed him tight by the arm. He snapped his gaze to the owner and found Yamato frowning at him.

"Just let her be." He ordered. "Give her a chance to calm down."

"I don't have that kind of time." Kakashi tried to pull away but the man held on tighter.

"You have no choice; she won't listen to you right now even if you do talk to her. She's in a delicate state as it is, don't make it worse." Yamato let go of his arm and stepped in front of him. "I'll make sure she gets home safe."

Kakashi cursed under his breath and shoved his hands in his pockets. He knew the man was right. "Stay with her till she calms down at least." Kakashi hated the idea but he didn't have many options. And he won't lie, he's jealous as hell of the man. "And let me know if…."

"Don't worry; I'll let you know if something happens." Yamato stated. "Meanwhile you should think about stitching a sign to your mask that says 'Insert foot here'." He chuckled and made his way to Sakura taking over for the old woman tucking her under his arm.

Kakashi ignored the jab and watched as they disappeared from the doorway, his gut twisted into knots. Could he really make things right or had he lost her? The thought of losing her actually made his heart hurt.

AN: So how was it? Please let me know! :-) Thank you! Luv ya!
