"Puuuuushhhh!"
"ARRRRGHHHH!"
"Come on, Hinata! You can do this!"
"Sakura, this hurts!"
"It's supposed to! There was an old lady I helped a while back and she could do better than you! NOW PUSH WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, DAMN IT!"
"It-it's really about to come out.." Naruto muttered, covering his face. "It's really about to come out."
"Be a man, Naruto! Hold your wife's hand!" Ino snapped.
"YES!" Naruto said, grabbing Hinata's hand forcefully. "Come on, Hinata! He's almost there!"
"Naruto... IT HURTS!"
Hinata pushed with all her might. After 15 long minutes of pushing and agony, there was a loud cry. In Sakura's arms was Hinata's newborn son.
"It's here, it's here!" Naruto said, jumping for joy.
"Congratulations, Naruto, Hinata." Sakura said. She stared at her godson and squealed. "He's sooo wrinkly and little...Hi Bolt. I'm your godmo-"
Ino poked her doting best friend. "Sakura, you have to clean him."
"Ah."
After Sakura cleaned Bolt up, she handed him to Hinata.
"So much pain. So worth it," Hinata said, tearing up. "Really, really painful."
Ino nudged Sakura. "This is so weird. Naruto has a kid."
"I heard that," Naruto frowned. He looked at Sakura and grinned widely. "You're next."
Sakura groaned. "I know. Don't remind me."
Ino's jaw dropped. "What?!"
Sakura looked at her and shrugged. "Did I not tell you?"
"No you did not!" Ino slapped her arm. "How long?!"
"Been 20 weeks..."
Naruto nodded. "Yup, Sasuke came running to me as soon as he found out."
Ino gasped and glared at Sakura. "Traitor! 20 weeks is a long time!"
Sakura laughed. "I was going to tell you eventually, today as a matter of fact. I didn't know Naruto was going to spill the beans first." She glared at Naruto and he shrugged.
"And I thought you were just getting a little chubby..." Ino muttered.
"Shut up."
When she got home later that night, she found Sasuke sleeping soundly on the couch. She smiled and sat next to him, brushing his hair and eyeing the metal band on her ring finger. It had been three months since they got married. It wasn't a big wedding or anything like that. They signed the marriage papers and had a little ceremony with their friends and family. Growing up, two of her many wishes was to have a big wedding and the second was to marry Sasuke. At least the second one came true. She then laughed at her younger self for thinking so childlike.
"Why are you laughing by yourself, you creep?"
Sakura opened her eyes and looked at Sasuke, who had already woken up. "Hi there."
Sasuke smiled. "Hi."
"Were you waiting for me?"
"Not at all," he said in a sarcastic tone.
She rolled her eyed and kissed him. "Yeah right."
"Why were you laughing?"
"I just remembered how I was when I was younger. I was pretty annoying."
Sasuke paused for a moment and chuckled. "Yeah, you were."
"Shut up."
He stuck his tongue out at her and she did the same.
"You know Sakura... You need to stop working so much. You're pregnant."
"Aw, are you worried?"
Sasuke sat up and placed a hand over her belly. "Of course I am. How can I not be?"
Surprised at his reaction, Sakura just smiled and watched him rub her stomach. "You know. I had an ultrasound today."
Sasuke's widened. "Seriously? You know what it is?"
Sakura nodded in reply. "We're having a girl."
Sasuke's jaw dropped. "Seriously?"
"Sorry, I know you wanted a boy but-"
"That's great!" Sasuke grabbed her and hugged her tightly. "That's great..."
Sakura chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Didn't think you'd be this excited..."
"It's our daughter. I can't be sad about this."
There was a silence. But it wasn't awkward this time. They stared at each other's hands and she stroked his hand with her fingers.
"5 years ago, I never thought that I'd be in this position right now."
"You know, for someone who hates being sentimental, you're pretty sentimental."
Sasuke furrowed his brows at her. "Shut up, woman. Let's go to sleep already, you must be tired. You need to take care of that body and our baby."
"Yes, yes, my dear."
Sakura slowly got up, feeling the additional weight from the growing baby inside of her. Sasuke noticed her speed and knew that he was going to have to take care of her for the next few months...but he didn't mind, and he couldn't wait until he could finally hold his baby girl in his arms.
A/N: Haaaaiii. As you all know, this is the last chapter or I guess you can consider it an extra. I never intended to include another chapter but I decided to just add this one in. Thank you so much for all your support! For my first short(ish) story, I never expected so much love and it surprised me quite a lot. You guys are amazing and I apologize to those of you who were expecting it to be a little longer, but I had never intended for this one to become long, so sorry for that ^_^'''' I hope you enjoyed this last bit, though! I'll be making more fics so stay tuned for those.
Also, for those of you who are caught up in the manga like I am, I'm sure that you've noticed some of inconsistencies for some of the characters buuuut, I did that for the sake of not spoiling anything for the people who aren't caught up yet. Hehe, hope that makes sense.
