A Father
Chapter VIII: Feeling (Month 2)
"Auuuuugh!" Sakura was upstairs when she heard a yell, "What the-?" She reached into the closet, quickly threw a shirt on, and jumped down the stairs; there was Naruto at the table, burying his face in a ton of papers
"Sakura, now you know how much money this costs us?" Naruto moaned
"How much money for what?" asked Sakura, confused
"For starters, our food bill:" Naruto began, "You've costed me one hundred grand!" He ran some numbers on his fingers, whispering them as he counted. He looked at Sakura, "Oh, come on!"
Sakura was sitting there with a box of doughnuts in her hands, "What? Not like I can help it."
"Okay . . ." Naruto flipped the papers over, "And now we've got the doctor bills. You'd think we'd be let off easy considering you're the Old Granny's student
"You'd think we'd be let off easy after having sex out of nowhere in your house on our first date." Sakura said sarcastically. Naruto slightly flinched when Sakura said some of the words loudly in his face
"Sorry . . ." Naruto whispered
"It's okay." Sakura turned around, "Naruto, can I speak to you upstairs?"
They were upstairs and back in their room, sitting on their bed
"Naruto . . . how are you so calm about this?" Sakura whispered
"Calm about what?" Naruto blinked
"What do you mean calm about what?!" Sakura snapped suddenly, "I mean calm about how much money this is costing us! I mean the fact that in only six months I'm gonna be giving birth to a living noisemaker! I mean how can you be so calm when we're gonna get married in six months!" She suddenly folded her arms on her legs and buried her face in them
"Sakura, you wanna know how I really feel?" spoke Naruto sympathetically. Sakura raised her head and her face was wet, "Scared."
"What?" Sakura turned to Naruto, "I-I don't believe it."
Naruto chuckled, "You better. Sakura, this is one hell of a change in my life. Just think about it. This is the most scared I've ever been in my life." He looked Sakura in the eyes, "Not as scarry as that assassination mission I got three weeks ago. Now THAT was freaky."
Sakura giggled and put her arms around Naruto. She closed her face in and gave his an unexpected kiss
