"No I'm not!" Sakura screamed as Itachi frowned at her.
"I heard two heartbeats. Two. Why are you keeping it from me?" Itachi asked as he grabbed her wrist and brought it around so that her hand was in front of her. He squeezed her wrist until the box fell from her hand and onto the floor.
"I-I can explain," she muttered as he knelt and picked up the pregnancy test. He opened the box to find an unopened test and the other one was missing.
"Where is it?" Itachi asked his sharingan flaming.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she whispered as he stood up and started to the bathroom. "Itachi! Wait!"
Sakura started after him and stopped cold when he came back out of the bathroom the stupid test in his hands. She prayed he didn't what the signs meant, prayed that he was too dense to know that the blue line meant no and the red one meant yes. He looked up at her and nodded snapping the stick in half. He walked back into the bath room and dropped the test in the waste bin. Silently, he walked back into the hallway where Sakura still stood.
"You are, aren't you?" Itachi asked as he raked a hand through his hair.
"It's not yours," she said nonchalantly as she pulled her hair back with a small tie.
"Whose is it?" Itachi asked the pain on his face matching the pain in her heart.
She didn't want to lie, she wanted him to know, to know that he was going to rebuild his clan, that he finally had a chance to do what he wanted to. He was going to beat Sasuke, he finally had the chance, and she was hiding it from him. But he couldn't, it would kill her if Sasuke found out so she hid it from them both and now he knew, he knew of the deception she carried under her heart.
"Yours. Itachi, I carry your child." The look on Itachi's face spoke volumes. He crossed the room to her in one step, he took her into his arms and lifted her into the air when he lowered her, he pulled her face to his. The kiss he planted on her lips was soft at first then as he deepened his desire grew. Sakura pulled away and looked at him tears in her eyes. She sank to her knees and looked at the floor.
Above her Itachi stood, drawing a hand threw his raven hair. He was confused, she was carrying his child, he was happy so why was she crying.
"Sakura? Cherry blossom, are you okay? What's wrong?" Itachi knelt beside her and lifted her chin with his index finger. "What is it?"
"We're not married. Unwed mother in Japan, not a good thing." Sakura hissed sarcastically.
"Then we will be. Tonight." Itachi said still smiling
"No, I want to get married because you love me, not because I carry your child."
"I do love you."
"What about Sasuke? You know I haven't ended it. What will he think when you announce you're married and going to be a father by his girlfriend?"
"We'll tell him you've changed your mind about him, you want me."
Sakura shuddered, "Itachi, I love you…but right now I can't…"
