Things start to go a little up hill from here. We last left where Orochimaru confronted Yuyiko. How has this affected Sasuke? How has this affected everyone?

Special Thanks to dangerDOOM for keeping me going with my first Angel's Redemption review!
Sasuke walked into their home, the Uchiha residence. Sakura was busy preparing dinner and beamed at her husband whenever she could. Sasuke wondered how long she was doing that. When did she turn from a great kunoichi to a Barbie-doll house wife?
"It's all worth while Sakura. I don't mind it one bit." Sasuke smiled wickedly to himself.
If it were up to him, he would've stayed a whole week.
"So, I was thinking, how would you like it if I'd accompany you on these missions? Wouldn't that be-"
"No."
"Huh?" She turned to him. "What?"
"Oh, uh, nothing. I had forgotten to do something coming back home. It was on my mind, and then I forgot it."
"Oh, okay. It's just that we're newlyweds and we haven't ...um, lately..."
Sasuke knew where this was going. He was so fixated on Yuyiko, he'd forgotten all about that.
"Oh, well-"
"Why don't we do a mission together? We can do the one in Suna! That one is high profile and we'd get to show off our status to Gaara! And we'd be guarding someone so I'd get to be with you around the clock!"
Sasuke's heart skips multiple beats. He wasn't expecting that. He just started this and the rules have changed. He knew Sakura's mind was set, so he couldn't change that. But no matter. Noone could take his angel from him. His tainted angel.
"Are you sure about this?!"
Tsunade looked over the paperwork sent in from Suna.
"Positive and the girl's condition is getting no better. She's in the ICU as we speak. Apparently, she was confronted by Orochimaru."
"Dammit! Well, I don't know where to go from this point other than to send my best shinobi down there to protect her. I can try to scare up Jiraiya and cover a few more bases, but that's the best I can do."
"Who will be the first shinobi to go? Because of this, Orochimaru will be even more compelled to find her."
"It's like the old Squad 7 days." said Kakashi as he lay in the back of an army jeep. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto sat across from him.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, Naruto glared at him in return. He hadn't seen him since the wedding and could tell that things between them had not changed, and that it would be an ice age in hell before he'd ever consider him a friend again.
Sakura looked from her husband's distressed face to Naruto's angered one. Those were the same looks they gave eachother before Naruto left the wedding.
"Naruto, Sasuke, what's going on?"
Naruto scoffed and leaned back. He wore black pants, a black turtleneck shirt, and timberlands. His, once out-of-control blonde hair, now swept against his shoulders and framed his face perfectly. He was no longer the vibrant youth of his time. He was now serious and stoic.
"Ask your husband."
"Sasuke?"
Kakashi looked at the scene unfurling before him. There was something hidden here, and if he learned anything from his Make-Out Paradise books, he knew it had something to do with lies and sex. It always did.
"We're here."
Everyone got out of the back, forgetting the question when Gaara walked up to them, a grim expression on his face.
"By the looks of your faces, I see you haven't heard of your mission."
"We were sent to guard someone, how serious could this be?" asked Sakura
Gaara's hung his head a bit.
"Yuyiko was confronted by Orochimaru and went into premature labor. Her stage is critical and - Sasuke!"
Before anyone could say anything, Sasuke was heading to the hospital.
Well, that doesn't answer the question as to what happened to Yuyiko. If you really want to find out, review and be honest about it. I promise you the next chapter will have some results.
