Alright, time to get back on my feet! Note, in this chapter I'm gonna mess around with character's ages a bit, making some older than the other.

Oh, and language warning for this one chapter

A Father

Chapter X: Month Four, Girl's Night Out

As the sun was setting, the birds were singing, and the crickets began to chirp. The pink-haired girl sat in the kitchen, a pot on a stove, and a spoon in her hand
Man, Naruto had better like this! I spent an hour on it! She brought up the spoon, which had a large ammount of noddles and vegetables on it, and plopped them into her hand, then going into her mouth. She smacked her lips, and then reached for a small packet containing a brown broth. She started at the pan for a few minutes, and the water went from a dilluted brown to a thick, creamy sauce, Excellent! She took the pan off the stove and set it on the table. Sakura was about to grab a couple of plates when a few huge knocks hit her window, causing her to jump, dropping and breaking a few glass plates.

"What the hell?!" Sakura yelled at the window, to see a certain girl with long blonde hair, pale eyes, and a ponytail sitting right outside it, "Okay, what do you want, Ino?" She folded her arms, watching Ino laugh her head off at Sakura's expression to her knocking"Eh, just wanted to say 'hi'" Ino helped herself inside, by unlocking the window
"God . . ." Sakura turned around and snickered, but her face dissapeared once she saw the pile of plate pieces on the ground, "So really, what do you need? If you want to say for supper-"
"No, no! That's not it!" Ino approached, "Listen, Temari's in the village and we got an entire group of people. You're comming along!"
Sakura smacked her forehead and groaned, "Ino, I'd love to, but I just made supepr for Naruto and I-"

"Is it done cooking?"
"Yes."
"Is it gonna stay warm by the time Naruto gets home?"
"Should."
"Do you honestly wish you could make it?"
"Hai."
"Then write a note and let's go!" Ino threw a peice of paper with hand-writing on it on the table and grabbed Sakura's hand, forcing her to run outside
"You can be such a moron sometimes . . ." Sakura hissed
"Yeah, I love you too!" Ino said sarcastically

Sakura was forced into running a good three blocks. Normally, this wouldn't turn out as much of a work out to her, gaining stregnth over time. But now she was pregneant, and without the stamina she once had. When the two finally stopped, Sakura almost collapsed on a bench
"What, tired already? They're waiting for us on like, the other side of the park!" Ino pointed all the way to the right, where they could see three people, almost the size of dots to them, talking
"Oh, come on!" Sakura yelled, "I'm kind of hadicapped for today and the next five months!" She pointed to her growing stomach
"Fine . . ." Ino groaned, "Be right back." And she ran off, returning only a minute later with the three other girls they were with at the one and only chuunin exam: Hinata, TenTen, and Temari.

"Hey, guys!" Sakura smiled, feeling relieved to see other adults besides Naruto for a change. After the others gave their greetings, there was a five seconds silence . . . and then a huge discussion broke out, mainly questioning Sakura
"So, Sakura . . ." The shy Hinata began, until TenTen interrupted and finished Hinata's sentence for her (Though it wasn't what Hinata would've said word-for-word)
"So, it's showing your pregneant!" She blurted out. Sakura raised a fist,
"Care to repeat that?"
"No, no." TenTen shrugged, "It's not like a couple others in this group haven't." She pointed to Temari
"Hey! At least I could go without complaining!" Temari looked away
"It's what you get for marriage and being at least four years older than us." Ino folded her arms and smirked. Sakura chuckled and then Hinata attempted another question

"Let me ask, just how many people has or is going through what Sakura is right now?" She spoke. The conversation dropped into a dead silence for about a minute. It was then that the all five girls, excluding Sakura and Hinata, raised their hands
"Ah, right . . ." Sakura leaned backwards on the bench, "I'm pregneant right now. Temari had her child two years ago." She pointed towards TenTen, "TenTen only had hers about one year ago. But Ino . . ." She turned to the blond at her left, "I've never heard anything . . .?"
"Last week." Ino whispered, "That's when I learned the news."
"Amazing." Sakura whispered
"Guys-" TenTen and Temari sat down bewteen Ino and Sakura, "Let me just say the truth, it gets worse from here on."

"What?!" Sakura shot, "As if this isn't enough?! I'm carrying practically twenty pounds extra weight or something, and the only one who can do missions to earn money in the household is Naruto, who's too lazy to get off his damn ass to do something for myself in general?!"
Everyone shot back. They were suprised beyond words as to why Sakura suddenly snapped
"To be having a wedding or a child you've never expected? To be trapped in a money situation when all my friends can do is give a few words of simple advice? This is fucking bad enough!" She buried her hands in her face, and the four other ninja put their hands on Sakura's shoulders, showing their support, "This pregnancy is hell enough as is!

All I want is to know I can put something behind with my husband! All I want is support!"
