Okay, first off I'd like to say thanks for the emails on this fic. I've recieved a grand total of 20 emails regarding this fic. 16 of them are for part 2 of this fic! The problem is that I've recieved a few emails out of them telling me that I got things wrong about Sakura guessing her pregnancy (That she wouldn't of learnt so quick). One even telling me that I should've made them use protection (Ooookay . . .)

Listen, it's a fan fic that can use improvment in some places, but don't bang on me saying that I got things like that wrong (ie "It should've taken a lot longer."). I'm still young and I try my best

Part III: Thoughts of the Future

"P-pregneant?!" Naruto's eyes grew to the shape of saucers and he stumbled back, almost smashing his head against the lamp near his bed. He calmed himself down and stared at the floor, "Sakura . . ."
"I know, what'll we do?" Sakura finished his sentence, but Naruto shook his head, telling her he wasn't going to say that
"No, what I meant to say was how do you know for sure?" Naruto gave a resonable question, "Doesn't it normally take a few weeks before you can know for a fact?"
"Yes, but . . . realise that we've forgotten what happened last night for a day or so what do we know?" Sakura resonded, serious as ever
"True . . ." Naruto looked away. He rested his hands on the back of his head and fell on his mattress, staring at the ceiling, "But what do we do know? Think, Sakura, we're unmarried. Who knows what our friends will say? How much money do we have?" Naruto knew he was making matters worse but he had to keep talking
"Naruto, we have to tell them sometime. And we might, but still have an unwanted chance that it won't go out way, but we could check into our money. But there's other problems to attend to . . ." Sakura answered, leaving her last sentence at a cliff hanger.
"Actual marriage." Naruto spoke. He stood up and walked toward the door, "Sakura, could you follow me, please?"
"Sure . . ."

Naruto dragged her through the streets of the village. It was pouring rain out and Naruto only stared at the ground. Sakura was aching to ask Naruto what was going on but she remained silent. Eventually Naruto made it to the end of his path and lifted up a mound of mud. Sakura looked at the mound to see that it lead to a hole. Naruto jumped inside the hole and Sakura followed suit. He made only two hand signs and put his finger to an object in the room. It was a candle and it began to lit up.

" This is something I've kept here all this time. I've started it since the Chuunin exams seven years ago." He handed it to Sakura and she looked inside it. It atll started from the fight with Gaara, to when Sasuke left the village to train under Orochimaru, to when he left the village. And much more events following."
"Naruto . . . why are you showing me this?" Sakura asked. Naruto handed her a pencil and turned to a page that was blank. He scribbled onto it:

As of this day, on September 14, this book is now ownded by Naruto Uzumaki and

He stopped there, handed it to Sakura, and told her, "Write your name in here." He watched her hand move, "As of today, this book is now ours." He began to grin, but Sakura's eyes began to water, and she threw her arms around him, sobbing.
"Naruto . . . I never wanted . . . something like this . . . to happen!" She said between her tears
"Sakura, it'll-" Naruto whispered

"No!" Sakura said firmly, "Naruto, I like you but I never wanted to do this thing out of the ordinary! I'm scared to hear what everyone'll say. We hardly have money for what'll be comming. Naruto, I want what's best but what's the chance? I don't want a day where it seems fine and then we're busted the next. I don't want to give birth to a bastard child!"
Naruto was gonna say something but instead he just sat there

Holding the girl that he's dreamed of since childhood, crying in his arms
