Slow Down-

Summary: Sasuke struggling to deal with his annoying, pregnant wife.

Written for sasusakumonth18

"Damn it, Sakura. Slow down!" Sasuke ordered, following behind his very angry, and very pregnant wife as she moved with hastened and heavy steps.

Sure his wife was near indestructible, but she was pregnant with his child and didn't need to be moving such a way when she could be giving birth at any moment.

The Uchiha gritted his teeth as she ignored him and he continued to follow behind her, speeding up to catch up and grab a hold of her hand. Sometimes, it was rather difficult dealing with her in the late stages of her pregnancy, but he had no other option but to do so. She was his wife.

"Don't touch me!" She smacked his arm away with ease, glaring up at him as if he were her mortal enemy.

This was a mood swing from hell.

"Sakura, you're being really damn annoying." He glared right back at her, but he wasn't angry. Actually, he was rather amused… but he knew better to let her know that. She would have gotten even more annoying.

"The only one annoying here, Sasuke-kun, is you!" She spat, pushing her finger against his chest with far more force than necessary.

He never knew pregnancy could be so problematic. All he'd done was ask if she wanted to return to the village… because he felt all this traveling wasn't good for her in her state. Now though, she thought he was trying to get rid of her. How could she not understand that all he wanted was for her-and their baby, to be safe.

"I get one little cramp and you think it's the end of the world." She huffed. "I am your wife and I am not leaving you."

"Are you done?" He asked, staring down at her softly, despite her attitude. She continued to look up at him, but said nothing else so he took the opportunity to finally explain. "I never asked you to leave me. When I asked if you wanted to return, I had every intention of returning with you."

Her eyes widened at this, lips parting before a slight blush took to her cheeks. "You did?"

"Ah."

She sniffled and then it was Sasuke's eyes widening as he saw tears welling up in hers.

Here we go…

"S-Sasuke-kun…" She whispered, leaning into him for a hug then.

Sasuke sighed as he rested his head atop hers, smiling softly at the feel of her round belly against him and the fact that she could be this emotional- happy one minute, angry the next, and then reduce to tears in a matter of seconds… as annoying as it was, he loved every second of it.
