Best friends

Chapter 6: Keeping the Secret

I cried. That is the only thing I did since I got the news. Sasuke is busy with his new girl in his room. I don't plan on talking to him about this so I just let him have his so called fun. I can't think too well right now. It seems like everything is a mess. I got in this situation so I have to get out of this mess too. But, i don't want him to take the responsibility because he has a love one already whom always mystified me since he talked about that girl. I wonder who she is. I don't want him to know that I am bearing his child because I don't want him to get the responsibility he didn't want. I also want him to love me so that the child will grow in a good family, not some family caused by a big mistake. but that would be such a big demand right? I didn't even know if he have feelings for me more than friends.

The next morning, I tried to be normal. I acted as if I didn't know that I am pregnant and do my morning routine. I drink coffee which is also not good for me, I didn't eat much because I read a book about getting prepared for labor and it says that I can eat only the amount of my original diet because babies have their own supplies of nutrition while inside a mothers womb so I just eat the right amount to prevent too much gaining of pounds. I also didn't talk to Sasuke much which didn't go unnoticed by the stubborn Uchiha.

"Is something bothering you?" he asked as he eat the food I prepared for us. I am really startled by his question.

"N-nothing, w-what m-makes you t-think like that?" I asked as I didn't look at him. He stand up and look at me in the eye as he lift my chin.

"Your lying Sakura." he said, hurt evident on his voice.

"I-im not! I am just not feeling well." I said as I look down.

"Your sick?" he asked as he eyed me with concern.

"I think so." I lied.

"Well, you didn't have a fever so maybe you just didn't feel good today." he said as he hold my hand.

"Yeah, I guess." I said as I squeeze his hand gently.

"I thought I make something to drive you away." he said to me as he hug me.

"Why?" I asked.

"You are avoiding me so I think I make your angry with me. Is the moaning of the girls bothering you?" he said as he still hug me.

"No, no no, just I'm not really feeling well." I said.

"Just tell me if they were bugging you, I'll deal with them okey?" he asked as he look at me.

"O...key." I said. He just kissed me at the forehead when that Karin walk inside our apartment. " I think karin and you have somethings to talk about."

Then, he looked back, there he saw karin standing. He just give her a smile that any girls would die for. Of course I think that is a signal because she go in Sasuke's room.

"So, just rest for a while." he said as he walk in his room. I sigh, I really thought that he will bust me. Geez, I didn't even know what I should do with the months that I should suffer from having this child especially when I have to be ready with the labor. I am so nervous with this secret. What if they find out? Who should I point? I don't want to point Sasuke since I really didn't want him to know. But what if the baby will look like him? Can I hide the fact that the child is not his? I'm really confuse and stress with this stuff right now. They said I have the brain and beauty but right now, I think I only have the beauty because my mind is still in pressure.

The next day is another lying. I avoided him by using my work as an alibi. He offered me to let him walk me to the hospital but I just refused, told him that I will pass by other stores before proceeding to the hospital. I started to ignore him slightly which didn't go unnoticed but he didn't press the matter. I really wanted to talk to him but I'm afraid of blurting out my secret especially it involves him. I always find alibis that comes in handy when I got no choice at all. There are times when he nearly find out my secret. The last time I nearly get my secret revealed is last week.

flashback:

I am cleaning my room since all of it was a mess. I started to open my filing cabinet when Sasuke called me.

"Hey Sakura, do you still have my bank papers?" he asked as he look at the room.

"Yeah" I said as I look at the other drawers. when I couldn't find it there..

"Sasuke-kun, can you look at the filing cabinet? I think it's there. It's in the brown envelope." I said as I describe the thing he is looking for.

He searched the cabinet when he said that he got it. I looked at the brown paper that he is holding and I notice something different. It has my name on the envelope.

My eyes widen as I realize that the envelope he is holding is my medical results. when he is already opening the folder, I quickly snatch it.

"That's not the envelope Sasuke-kun. This one." I said as I give him the envelope he needs.

"Ah, so what is that paper?" he asked.

"That is one of my medical paper before you...come back." I said lowly.

"What happened?" he asked as he checked the papers.

"Well, I got an injury when we headed on a mission in wave country. I just got a broken bone." I lied. He just nod and said his thanks.

I sighed when he's out of my room. That would be trouble if he read that. I just finished cleaning the room.

end of the flashback

It's been another month, meaning another month of the baby's development. I am being careful at using my chakra because it's not good for me to become so stress so if that is not needed, I don't use it much. I also gained a little bit overweight, just a little but still my body is still good.

I am still working so that no one would notice my problem. I heal and do check ups so that I can still rest for a bit. but when there is someone who really needs an operation and a dangerous healing, I forgot about my safety. He needs a heart transplant now because his heart is failing him. we proceed to the operation room.

I used high amount of chakra on him because he needed to. I also have to stop the bleeding inside of him so I used great amount of chakra. The operation went hours until he is already in good condition. The other nurses transfered him in a good ward. As I talk to Hinata, I could feel dizziness.

"Are you alright Saku-chan?" the white eyed girl asked with concern.

"Yeah, just got a little exhausted." I said as i tried to breath properly. I could feel everything around me spin.

"Well, you really give your all on that man. He really should be thanking you." hinata said as I chuckled.

"Well, that is my job right?" I said to her as she smiled.

"Just don't push your limits Saku-chan. Your just a woman." she said then I fell unconscious.

I squinted my eyes as I feel sun rays hit my face. I blink as I saw Sasuke beside me, sleeping. Am I that exhausted?

"Your awake." he said as he hold my hand.

"What happened?" I asked as I yawn.

"You're unconscious for two days because of chakra depletion and physical exhaustion." he said as his voice is laced with worry.

"I'm fine now, I just need to rest." I said not looking in his eyes.

"You shouldn't push your self that far Sakura, who knows what happened to you? What if something more worse than this happened?" he scolded. I just chuckled.

"Well, this is my job. I need to sacrifice my life in order to save another life." I said just as Hinata walk in.

"Uchiha-san, I need to check Saku-chan's vital signs." she said calmly. He just nod and go outside. When he's out already, Hinata spoke.

"Sakura, your pregnant. You shouldn't do that." she said as she eyed me. My eyes widen.

"Did you told him? Or does anyone knew?" i asked her, desperately trying to find the answer in her.

"No one still knew. Do you want me to keep this as a secret Saku-chan?" she asked in a low tone. I just nod.

"Who's the father?" she asked.

"Sasuke-kun" I answered quickly.

"Him? I thought you guys were.."

"Dating?" I finished for her. She nod.

"Well, remember the engagement party of yours?" I asked her. She nods a s she listen.

"When we got drunk, we headed back home and did that." I said.

"You mean after the party?" she asked and I just answered with a nod.

"Does he know already?'' she asked.

"Well, he didn't know that is the reason why I wish to keep it secret." I said to her.

"Why? You know you can tell him." she said.

"I can't, I want him to be happy because I know he wanted freedom. The freedom that he didn't have since childhood. Now that he is free, I don't want him to be trapped in a relationship that would change our life. I want him to be free, not to be trap again by some responsibility." I said.

"But Sakura, he has a right to know." she said.

"I just want him to be just free. i don't want to force him. This is just a mess that I should clean up. Besides, I can raise the child alone. I can support the child." I said to her confidently.

"Well, he's still the father so think about it Sakura-chan.I respect your decision but if i were you, I am going to tell him. You can't keep on hiding." she said as she hug me to just comfort me.

Yes, I do know that he has every right to know. But, as long as possible, I am trying to keep this from him so that he will be happy with his carefree life and his freedom.

I am so in love with him that I am really willing to give his freedom. i wonder how long would my secret last? I know that I am just running on circles here but I really need to keep it until I know that he is ready.

Hoops, have to end it for now So hope you guys enjoyed reading.
