"Oh god!" Sakura groaned as her hand tightened around Sasuke's. "Oh dear god! Why the hell would you do this to me?"
"I'm sorry." Sasuke, gently caressing her stomach, replied. "I'm so sorry."
Sakura loosened her grip on his hand as the pain of her contractions subsided a bit. "Oh my god, what will my mother say? We've only been going out for 9 months… Hell, we've only known each other 9 months!"
"It's okay." Sasuke cooed as he struggled to keep up with the nurse who was rushing Sakura into the hospital room. "It'll be over soon. They'll be out soon."
"I can't believe you knocked me up with TWINS!" Sakura shouted at him.
"I didn't mean to! I had been planning on pulling out!"
"Please don't shout at the pregnant women." The nurse scolded Sasuke.
"Sorry." Sasuke sat at the end of the bed the nurse was helping Sakura into. "Sakura, I'll take responsibility for them, you know that. I'm here aren't I?"
"Yeah, but…"
"Everything will be okay." Sasuke took her hand, "And, when it's legal, we'll get married."
Sakura looked at the jewel on her left ring finger. Her heart gave a little jump as she remembered when she got it.
"Sasuke…" Sakura started, looking at the boy she had only known for 2 weeks.
"Yeah?" Sasuke replied, looking up from the manga that he never read in front of anyone else other than her and his best friend, Naruto.
"Um, there's something I have to tell you…" Sakura fidgeted, looking down at her lap. "B-but I'm not quite sure how…"
"Oh god…" Sasuke's book hit the floor as he stared wide-eyed at his favorite pink-haired girl. "You're kidding right?"
"I'm not." Sakura reached out and took Sasuke's hand in hers. "You can't be that surprised… We both expected this since the day we met."
"I'll be right back." Sasuke said, standing up suddenly. He turned back as he reached the door and said, "Don't go anywhere."
Sakura broke down as soon as the door closed. He was going to leave her and she knew it. He wasn't coming back. She held her face in her hands as she cried, willing this all to have just been a dream. She didn't want to be pregnant with the child of an almost-stranger.
It had been around half an hour that she sat there and cried. She had just dried her tears and was about to get up and leave when the door opened to reveal a slightly exhausted looking Sasuke.
"Okay, I'm sorry to have taken so long, but I had to find the perfect one."
"Wha—" Sakura was cut off as Sasuke got down onto one knee.
"Haruno Sakura. I've only known you for 2 weeks, but it's been the best 2 weeks of my life. And sure I don't pay attention in class anymore because I found out that I can see you in your class from the window. And yeah, it might end up in us being in the same grade next year when I get held back. And I know I'm a pathetic excuse for a man, having knocked you up on the first date (if you could call it that). But despite all of this, I want still want you. You, the cause of my downfall. So, marry me?" Sasuke reached into his packet and brought out a tiny silver ring that twisted into an emerald rose.
"Oh my. How'd you afford that? We're in boarding school!" Sakura asked, not daring to touch the obviously expensive piece of jewelry.
"Oh come on, Sakura. Who cares how much it costs?"
"People will think I stole it. My parents are cooks!"
"Yeah, well my parents are loaded. This doesn't even put a dent in their bank account!" Sasuke took her hand and slid the ring on it. "I know you want it."
"I never said I would marry you."
"I would still give you this ring."
"Liar."
"It's the same color as your eyes."
Sakura's breath caught in her throat. He was too perfect. She fingered the ring and said, "Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay, I'll marry you."
Sasukes lips collided with Sakuras. And then all she can remember if pure bliss and the heat of Sasukes skin on hers.
"Sakura, whatever you were thinking about, keep thinking it!" Sasuke said, squeezing her hand gently. The doctors were drugging her and lifting her legs.
"Okay, Miss Haruno. This will be quite painful." The doctor said in a soothing voice. "I need you to push as hard as you can when I tell you to, okay?"
"O-okay…"
"Ready…push!"
Sakura pushed. She tried to remember the bliss she was feeling earlier, but the hellish pain had completely overridden that feeling.
"Sasuke, I hope you know that I hate you SO much right now!" Sakura said, sucking in to push again.
"Im sorry!" Sasuke said, wincing at the pain she was inflicting on her hand. I'm too young for this. He thought.
Sasuke gently smoothed Sakura's hair up into a bun so it wouldn't get in the way. She had wanted to cut it for this, but he couldn't bare the thought of it. He looked down at her tear-stained face. It physically hurt him to see her in so much pain. And it was all his fault too.

Sasuke held Sakura close and rested his head on top of hers as the gazed into the nursery at their children. Our children. Sasuke still couldn't quite believe he had helped make them. Much less that they had come out of Sakura's petit frame.
"Look at them. The girl looks just like you!" Sakura giggled. "What should we name them?"
"We should've thought of this earlier." Sasuke laughed.
"I like the name Tadashi for the boy. You pick a name for the girl."
"Um… Minami?"
"I like it! Uchiha Tadashi and Minami." Sakura looked up at Sasuke and grinned. "I wunna see them closer so we can really tell who they look more like!"
"I just have to go sign some things, then we can bring them home with us."
"Oh yeah, about that. Which one of our dorms are they going to stay at?"
"I'm working on getting you your own dorm, since they won't let us share one."
"You're gunna stay with me anyways though, right?"
"Of course."
"Good."
