"Why is it that every time I'm in this medic wing, I always have to wake up to your bright ass hair?" Sasuke groaned out, trying to sit up.

"Oh, how nice. The bastard can only have a sense of humor when he loses a third of his blood and comes from a coma," Naruto answered back, helping his best friend sit up.

"Hn."

"Nice to have you awake, teme… it's been very painful for Sakura."

Sasuke immediately cast his full attention to Naruto.

"How is she? The baby…" he trailed off.

Sasuke didn't like how Naruto sighed.

"You've been in this coma for four months and a lot has happened…"

"Sakura. What about Sakura?" Sasuke asked frantically.

"She—" but Naruto was interrupted when the door opened to reveal a chubbier and big-bellied pink-haired woman.

"S…Sasuke?"

"Sakura…"

It's a weird thing you know. Being pregnant and all.

This 6-month-old bulge in my stomach is really frustrating. I haven't seen my feet in about four days, my feet hurt and from what Naruto told me, they are fatter and wider.

It's very obvious I'm pregnant…I'm freaking huge! My back hurts constantly because of the added weight, I get these weird cravings for ramen so much that I suspect I'm eating more than Naruto and that's saying something.

Well, at least I'm not having morning sickness anymore. That was two months of hell, but not as much as a hell of not having Sasuke around. I loved him. The bastard things he said, his arrogance, his vanity… his smile, his laugh, his touch, his love…

It's so weird feeling all this. Especially about one man, but then again, it was Sasuke. I sit, eat and sleep by his side constantly. The only exception is when I have to do my daily exercise of walking to get lunch. I have to keep healthy. I am pregnant. But Sasuke has Naruto to take care of him while I'm gone.

"What a good friend," Sakura thought as she opened the door to the prince's private ward.

All she could do was stutter a Sasuke when she met the black and awoken eyes of her love.

Naruto isn't as stupid as many believe he is. As a matter of fact, he is quite observant. So when he saw the longing in the raven and cherry blossom's eyes, he quickly excused himself with some random excuse about his lady love wanting to meet at that particular time. Yes, Naruto was quite intelligent.

After Sakura got back to her senses, she was by Sasuke's side in a matter of seconds. Sasuke pulled her down and their lips met in a fiery clash. It's been months since they have been able to touch, feel, and be with each other. Sakura's hands immediately went to the long black locks that would soon need a trim.

Oh how Sakura missed this.

Her Sasuke.

Quicker then they realized, they had to break their passionate kiss. Damn air.

Panting, their eyes met and the two could see the love in their eyes.

"Sasuke…" Sakura uttered, before she gave him a tight hug.

"Sakura, I can't breathe," Sasuke muttered out.

Immediately letting go, Sakura blushed and said sorry. They were silent for a while. Just gazing into each other's eyes. Smoldering black into fierce green. Then Sasuke's eyes averted to Sakura's belly.

Needing to know, Sasuke asked the big question (You all are getting your answer, finally…).

"Is… is it mine?"

Sakura took a deep intake of breath.

"No."
