Chapter Two: Good News, Bad News
Hey guys, I'm SO sorry about the few day delay but I've been really busy with the Thanksgiving holiday for one, and for two, my computer has been a real pain in the ass lately. Anyways here's the next chapter and I really hope that you enjoy it!
"Alright sweetheart, it's time to get ready to go to school." Sakura began. "Do you have to go potty before we leave?" she questioned but Sasame quickly shook her head.
"No." she replied.
"Alright, are you sure?" Sakura asked her as she silently nodded. "Well in that case say goodbye to Papa and then go ahead and grab your shoes and put them on." She told her as Sasame stood up on top of the couch and then tightly wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck and embraced him.
"Goodbye Papa." She told him before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Sasuke simply just smiled at her and kissed her back.
"Have a good day at school. I love you baby girl." He told her before she got up from the couch and then raced back into the bathroom and slammed the door tightly shut behind her.
" I guess she had to go after all." Sakura began. "By the way, do you mind if you pick her up today? I have a doctor's appointment to go to later on." Sakura told him.
"Yeah, sure, no problem. Maybe I'll even introduce her to the motorcycle." He told her with a sly grin.
"Over my dead body! She's way too young for that Sasuke." Sakura began. "And to be quite honest with you I felt a bit uncomfortable with it when you first took Keiko and she was a lot older back then then Sasame is now." Sakura told him. "As soon as she's out of the booster seat and she has a helmet that fits her then you can take her but for right now she rides in the car." She said.
"Vroom! Vroom!" Sasame hollered after she had flushed the toilet (and washed her hands) and ran back down the hallway and sat down to put her shoes on while Sakura smiled down at her.
"That's right honey, that's exactly what a car says." She told her and once she finished putting on her shoes she stood back up. Sakura turned around and walked back over to Sasuke and bent over before they exchanged a kiss on the lips. "I'll see you later Sasuke, I love you." She told him.
"I Love you too." Sasuke told her before he kissed her again. "And when you get back we can,.." he began before he glanced back down at Sasame and remembered that there was a child present and simply just heaved a sigh. "Never mind." He finished. "I'll tell you when you get back." He added as Sakura turned back around and stood back up. She grabbed her car keys off the kitchen counter before walking back over towards the door and hoisted Sasame up inside her arms and placed her at her hip. Afterwards she exited the house and shut the door tightly behind her.
Lucky finished drinking water from out of his water dish and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room wagging his tail to and fro. Then he stopped in front of Sasuke and pawed him. Sasuke chuckled. "That's funny." He began. "I never thought I'd see the day when you would be the one expecting attention from me." he said while he reached out and started scratching him behind the ears. "You know, in another few years Sachi will be an adult and I really do think that she's old enough to pick who she wants to date.
That is, if she even decides that she wants to date Kizashi. I trust her judgement and you really should too Itachi. He's a good kid. Just give him a chance." He said and that's when Lucky sat down and tilted his head to one side. "Please, just think about it alright?" Sasuke questioned him before he laid down and rolled over onto his side.
"Now I'm going to go take a nap, so you might as well find something to go and amuse yourself with." He told him as the dog stood back up and then walked over towards the staircase and ran up them two at a time. Then he entered Sachi's bedroom and leapt up on top of her bed before turning on the television with his paw. After that he laid his head back down on top of both of his paws and started watching one of his favorite sitcoms.
…
"Well Sakura, congratulations. You're pregnant." The doctor told her as Sakura suddenly gasped with excitement. However,that's when she suddenly realized that she wasn't too sure if Sasuke would be all that thrilled with this news since they had just recently fully potty trained Sasame (except for the fact that she still wore pullups at night) and he might not want to go back to changing diapers and waking up in the middle of the night for feedings.
"Oh, that's great." She replied while smiling sadly to herself.
"Well, I would have thought that you would have been more excited than this." The doctor began. "Are you alright Sakura?" he wondered as Sakura suddenly thought about Sachi and Sasame. Although Sachi loved her little sister with all of her heart, she didn't used to be happy about the fact that she had to share all of her love and attention with her. Although Sasame was older now and they were getting along a lot better, there were still times where they still fought and bringing a new baby into the house could just wind up making things worse. Especially since Sasame was used to being the center of attention.
Also she was a little concerned about Lucky and how he would react to having a baby in the house and hearing it cry. "Yeah, I'm fine." She lied. "I'm just thinking about how I'm going to tell my family about this that's all." She told him.
"Well I'm sure that they'll be happy for you." The doctor told her.
"Yeah,.." she began again. "I'm sure that they will." She finished although she suddenly had an extremely awful feeling that absolutely nothing on earth could be farther from the truth.
