Chapter 6: His name is Tsume
"Hello Gaara. I'd like you to meet your son."…
(Flashback)
I ran to the bathroom, I felt horribly sick. I had just woken up. I felt fine but then it just kind of happened. But I was fine yesterday! But this wasn't a normal sickness I could tell… it was different. I quick ran to my calendar frantically counting the days since my last menstrual cycle ((he he I'm so immature I laughed a little when I spelt menstrual!!!))
"FUCK!" I screamed as I went back into the bathroom looking desperately to find the pregnancy test Ino had left here once I quick read the directions, I don't know why how hard could it be we all know you're supposed to piss on it, then did as they said.
I had to wait five minutes for it to process. Those had been the longest five mutates of my whole fucking like! It was insane I almost died!!!!! But when the five minutes were over I couldn't find the courage to look at the test. It wasn't easy but I finally found the will power to look at it.
"Sakura!? Where are you?!" It was Ino. I quick threw the test in the garbage not wanting her to see it, and then walked out of the bathroom.
"Hello Ino. What do you want?"
"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to come out and have some fun! Get some food… go shopping! Ya wanna?!" I knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer but I still wasn't going down without a fight. So I put on my best please-don't-torture- me-like-this face, but in response she put on her best I'm-a-cute-little-puppy-dog-do-whatever-I-say face, and it was pretty damned cute.
"God damn it Ino!" I said as I sat down on the nearest soft thing, which was my couch, "you're so good at torturing me!"
"So you're coming!!" she asked, no she didn't ask it wasn't a question she knew I was coming.
"Yeah" I answered her not a question. I sat there for a while longer then whined as I got back up, and sauntered into my room and went over to my dresser then threw something on not caring as to what I put on I was too tired. Ino was already in the other room grabbing things she thought we would need on our 'fun date'!
She took me to eat at an Udon stand then shopping at every store in Konoha. I probably wouldn't have come if she said we were going shopping but she paid so it's all good!
After we went shopping we just walked around talking about nothing and everything, watching as the little people were walking home from the ninja academy. It made me sad, thinking back to how good things seemed to be back when I went there…
My thoughts were cut off as Ino asked, "Sakura? Are you alright? You're frowning. If you're not having fun just tell me!"
"No Ino it's nothing. I really am having fun" and that was not a lie (I know it surprises me too!), "I was just-"She cut me off again! (This was really getting old!!!) She pulled me into another store… except it wasn't a store. It was dark and there where people playing at pool tables, a very old juke box was playing music I've never even heard before in one of the corners, and there was also a very beautifully(not really) lit up counter extending from one wall to the opposite which was lined with stools and a man standing behind it. It took me longer than it should have to process where exactly Ino had pulled me into.
"A bar Ino?!" I whined. I knew where she was going with this.
"Oh come on Sakura! It will be fun. You're in great need of some alcohol!! Just forget about everything and get drunk!!!" She then pulled me over to the bar and yelled, "BRING ON THE SHOTS!"
"No Ino! I-I can't"
"Oh don't be silly Sakura! Of course you can!"
"No Ino you don't understand… I can't!" I tried to add enough of an emphases on the 'can't' but Ino's just so fucking dense when she has alcohol on her mind!
"Just stop thinking about it and drink it" She shoved the shot glass in my direction
"Ino! I really can't I'm-"she cut me off AGAIN!
"Shut up and drink it Sakura!"
"NO INO YOU SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO TALK DAMN IT!!! IM FUCKING PREGNANT!" That sure got her attention… and everybody else's attention who was inside (and outside) the bar!
"What…?"
"Yeah. I just took the test before you came to my house"
She just sat there saying nothing for about seven minutes then screamed, "OH MY GOD! Yay! I'm so happy we need to go buy baby clothes now!!!!!!" I sighed she was impossible!
"Whatever Ino you can do that on your own!"
(9 months later)
"INO, WHERE DID YOU PUT MY FUCKING TWINKIES?!" I had been looking for them all day and I wasn't even craving them anymore I was more in the mood for Pineapple and… and Meatloaf!!
Ino came walking into the room carrying a box of Twinkies, "Sakura you gotta stop eating you're getting fat and not pregnant fat but I mean FAT!" Then came the tears! I hated it when people said that! It's hard enough dealing with the morning sickness, the constant kicking! The not being able to sleep on my stomach and the pain! Wait, the pain?!
"Oh GOD! It hurts… IT HURTS! Ino fix it! FIX ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!"
"Oh my god! Your water just broke!"
"Yeah I think I know that! Go get my bag and call someone!!!" Wow I never would have thought it would hurt so badly! Yeah I knew it would hurt but not like this!! Ino came running back with my bag that I had packed full of crap for about a month now
"I didn't know who else to call so I called Naruto. He'll be here-"she was interrupted by a frantic Naruto bursting through the door.
"What happened?!"
"Well Naruto there's a pregnant lady in pain lying in a puddle of body fluid… WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING!?!?!?!" Ino quipped.
"Oh…" he said then finally got the clue then said, "OHHHH!"
"NARUTO DO SOMETHING DON'T JUST STAND THERE IM IN PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He ran over to me picking me up then he ran outside and to the hospital, where medics who I worked with helped out putting me on a stretcher and wheeling me to the nearest room.
That was the most painful thing I had ever gone through. You'd think it wouldn't be that bad being a ninja and all but it was horrifically painful. 14 long hours of labor… but the result was completely worth it! When one of the medics brought that precious baby back into the room I just about broke out into tears thinking at how that little thing came out of me! They put it in my arms wrapped in blue cloth and then I did cry! He looked so much like Gaara it was amazing he already had a full head of gorgeous crimson hair! His skin was like snow. It amazed me at how beautiful he was!
"Sakura? Do you think you're ready to have people come in yet? There's a crowd of people waiting to see you." The medic asked.
I couldn't speak the words wouldn't come so I just nodded. She exited the room and then a couple seconds latter Ino, Naruto, Tsunade, Kakashi, Sai, and Shizune walked in.
"Oh my god he's precious!" Ino whispered as she walked over to my bedside. I smiled at her statement and at the fact that that was the quietest I had ever heard her!
Everyone else made their comments at my new baby boy and we sat and talked for a few hours then most of them left until it was just Ino and me and the baby.
"So what are you going to name him?" when she asked this I was quiet, I had no clue I hadn't even thought about names!
"I-I'm not really sure. I haven't even thought about it, and now that you've brought it up I'm drawing a blank! Give me some names!"
"Umm… Kyou, Ichiro, Kaito, Taichi, Tsume…"
"Tsume… "
(Back to the present)
(Gaara's POV)
"Umm his name is Tsume!" She sounded flustered, and very cautious.
I was surprised to see Sakura but even more surprised to see the kid! When she said 'My son' did she really mean my son!?
"I see…" I said as I sat back down at my desk and stared at the boy, he was hiding behind Sakura holding her hand. He did look like me I guess, "Everyone except for Sakura and the boy can leave I need to speak with them alone!"
I hope you enjoyed reading it! I enjoyed writing it.
