Toying With Her

Ch. 5

"Konan! I need you to take me somewhere!" Sakura said, freaking out.

"What's going on, yeah?" Deidara asked.

"What is it, girl?" Konan asked.

"Girl things…and not that once a month thing!" Sakura said as she tried to breathe.

"OK, OK, calm down! I'll go with! Deidara, tell Pein-sama that I'm out and if Sasori gets back tell him I took his wife out shopping!" Konan said as the two girls ran out of the room in a blur.

"How can this happen? It can't happen if we did it anally can it?" Sakura asked as they ran as fast as they could to the market.

"How can you be pregnant again?!!?" Konan asked, hurriedly.

"We don't know for sure," Sakura answered sheepishly. They grabbed a cart and went into the section that had all of the pregnancy test. They grabbed boxes and boxes of every kind that was there. They went and checked out, having a bill over a hundred dollars in pregnancy test.

They ran back to the Base and went to the first bathroom they saw which was right next to the sparring gym. They were so wound up in trying out the pregnancy test they didn't bother shutting the door.

"What about the ones that Sasori bought for you in your room?" Konan asked hurriedly as Sakura proceeded to use the test. (AN: I know how you use a pregnancy test; it's just too gross to describe)

"I was so nervous that when I was trying to use them…they sort of fell into the toilet," Sakura said, sheepishly as Konan rolled her eyes.

"And why are you nervous? This isn't your first time around the block," Konan asked. Sakura looked at the test.

"I-It's positive! Let me try another one!" Sakura said, shakily. She calmed down and used the other one. "Because he seems so stressed lately that I'm afraid he doesn't want kids right now. He's been…snapping at me a lot," Sakura said.

"And? He has nine months!" Konan said.

"Yeah….but…." Sakura started, she leaned in closer. "He hasn't slept with me in eight weeks!" Sakura whispered, harshly. Konan's face fell.

"So…if you arein fact pregnant. Then you're eight weeks along which means he has…seven months. Still a long time," Konan said.

"I don't just mean sex! We start arguing sometimes at night and he'll just up and leave! I'll find him on the couch the next morning! Is it me? Am I not attractive?" Sakura asked suddenly crying. She stopped. "Ooh! I peed!" Sakura cheered as she looked at the stick. "Positive! Eep! Konan!" Sakura whined. Konan was still stuck on their earlier conversation.

"HE HASN'T HAD SEX WITH YOU IN EIGHT WEEKS?!!?" Konan yelled and suddenly there was a lot of whispering in the kitchen. Thankfully, none of them came back there. Then again they didn't know what they were doing.

"Konan! Not so loud! And this one is positive too!" Sakura whined.

"Here let me try one! They must be broken!" Konan said as she and Sakura switched positions.

"All of them?" Sakura asked.

"Shut up! It's called wishful thinking!" Konan said harshly. Pein walked by at that time and looked at Konan with a raised eyebrow. "Hello," Konan said. It was very weird if you were there because she was on the toilet with her hand between her legs. Pein just shook his head and passed by. Konan took the pregnancy test out and looked at it. She nearly passed out.

"Um…Konan, I think you used the wrong one," Sakura said.

"Oh thank God, I thought I was molested in my sleep," Konan mumbled as she grabbed another pregnancy test out of the box and handed it to Sakura. Sakura took it and it said positive too. She groaned. "Well…it's clear…you're pregnant."

"Great…how do I tell Sasori?" Sakura asked. Konan shrugged.

"We…have to take the trash out. We used every pregnancy test we bought which was a lot," Konan said as they all picked up the tests and put them in garbage bags. They started to take the bags out and passed a few Akatsuki members.

"Um…Sakura, Konan, what are you all doing?" Kisame asked, unsurely.

"Taking out the trash," Konan answered.

"I know that but what's in the trash?" Kisame asked.

"Pregnancy tests," Sakura replied. The guys choked.

"How many did you take, yeah?" Deidara asked in a squeaky voice.

"Um…one hundred dollars worth," Konan replied.

"What?" Kakazu asked, darkly.

"Hey! Don't go getting an attitude! We had feminine needs!" Sakura scolded, glaring at Kakazu who glared back.

"You only needed onebox," Kakazu replied.

"Dude. Shut the fuck up. She's getting mother instincts early. Don't mess with her," Hidan whispered to his partner who growled and let the argument go. The girls just took the trash out and went back into the kitchen.

"So…when's Sasori-sama coming back?" Sakura asked.

"Now," Hidan answered as he pointed to the doorway. Sakura ran over and hugged her man.

"Danna, I'm so glad you're home! How was the trip?" Sakura asked.

"It was good," Sasori replied as he kissed Sakura on the forehead which shocked her. He never did that! What was with him? He wasn't acting like himself! A kiss on the forehead! That was like what a father did when saying goodnight to his daughter. NOT what a lover did to his wife! Nu-uh. Maybe he was still mad about the fight they had last night…

Sakura turned on her side rather hard and huffed. She couldn't sleep. Sasori was beside her, not asleep yet because she kept tossing and turning. He wasn't even pulling her to him and helping her sleep! The bastard!

"Sakura, just go to sleep!" Sasori growled out in irritation. Sakura was shocked by his tone.

"Well you could help me, Mr. Perfect Husband!" Sakura said, sarcastically as she sat up, glaring at her husband.

"It's not my job to get you to sleep! For god's sake woman! You're acting like a child!" Sasori finally yelled. Sakura scoffed. How. Dare. He?

"Shut up!" Sakura yelled, hurt by his words but making an effort to get even. She felt him start to get up.

"I'm going to the couch," Sasori mumbled. He was not going to get the last say!

"Oh, no, you aren't, mister! I'm going to the couch! I don't need you and I never did! I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHERED MARRYING YOU!!!" Sakura yelled as she left the room. She had no idea what his face looked like right now and she didn't care.

Ouch…he was probably still mad.

"Danna, I'm sorry for what I said last night. I was WAY out of line. Do you forgive me?" Sakura asked as she hugged him tightly.

"I forgive you, Sakura," Sasori said as he hugged her back but it didn't feel the same. She felt a pang at her heart. He was changing and she hated it. He called her Sakura! That was a no-no. He KNEW…just KNEW she loved it when he called her a pet name! Sakura let go of him, tears in her eyes.

"I-I-I've got to go!" Sakura said as she ran out of the kitchen covering her mouth so he couldn't hear her sobs.

"What's wrong with her?" Sasori asked, confused.

"Um…I'm going to go check on her!" Konan said as she ran out of the room, following Sakura outside. "Sakura, are you OK?" Konan asked as she heard Sakura sob. Sakura was faced away from her and looking at one of the walls outside the base.

"I-I-I'm fine," Sakura mumbled.

"Are you sure?" Konan asked. Sakura choke back another sob.

"H-H-He's acting differently! He didn't use a pet name! He used my real name! He kissed me on the forehead, not the mouth! And he seems distant! Sakura said, crying even louder as she turned to face Konan. "Konan-chan, do you think he's cheating on me?" Sakura asked.

"Wha-? You must be joking!" Konan said as she forced a laugh but she saw the look on Sakura's face. "You're not joking, are you?" Konan asked. Sakura shook her head. Konan sighed. "Look, he'd be a fool. You're a great girl who loves him more than anything in the world! He has everything he could want! And besides we'd know if he was cheating because he couldn't keep that from a gang of S-class criminals who know him very well," Konan explained and it seemed to cheer Sakura up some but not much.

"Thanks. That really helped me," Sakura said.

"Come. Let's go back in," Konan said as they walked in. Sakura wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to smile through her pain. "We're back!"

"Sakura, what was that about? Are you OK?" Sasori asked, genuinely worried. Sakura smiled at how caring he was being.

"I'm fine, Sasori-kun," Sakura finally said but as she said that she got a little light headed. "Oh, boy!" Sakura said as she grabbed the trash can and threw up in it. Pein walked in at that time and sighed.

"Why do I keep walking in on bad times?" he mumbled to himself.

"Cheer up, Pein-sama!" Konan cheered. Sakura put the waste basket down and sat down in a chair that Sasori pulled out for her. He knelt down besides her and looked up into her eyes.

"Sakura, is there something you aren't telling me?" Sasori asked. Sakura trembled slightly, afraid of his reaction.

"I-I-I'm…pregnant…again," Sakura replied, glad it was off of her chest. He smiled at her.

"That's great. We can finally have the family that you want," Sasori said. Sakura downcast her eyes and felt hurt again.

"Me? What I want? What about you!? Don't you want a family? Or was that just a lie?!!?" Sakura yelled and she stood up and glared at him. He stood up as well.

"Sakura, please, just sit down and let's talk about this," Sasori said, calmly.

"No! I knew it! You don't care for me at all!" Sakura yelled, tears forming in her eyes. She ran out of the room crying and they all heard the slam of the bathroom door. Sasori hit his head on the wall.

"What do I do?" he mumbled to himself.

"Cheer up, Danna, yeah! It's not your fault!" Deidara said. Sasori looked at him.

"No, it is. I've been distancing myself from her, getting angry at the littlest things and she's run out of the room twice in less than ten minutes because I said something! I don't even know what I said the first time!" Sasori said, frantically.

"Well, if you know you've been distancing yourself from her and it's hurting her than why are you doing it?' Konan asked, calmly.

"Because her birthday's in a week and I've been trying to pull something together in my spare time without her knowing so I make her angry at me and then just leave the bedroom to work on it. I'll also do it after missions and every chance I get," Sasori replied.

"So…you're wife's in tears because you're planning a surprise for her?" Konan asked. Sasori nodded, hesitantly.

"What a trade off…" Konan mumbled.

"Doesn't she know her birthday's coming up, yeah?" Deidara asked.

"No, and let's keep it that way. She's been so busy that she's forgotten and with the pregnancy she's not going to think about it," Sasori said.

"How old is she turning?" Itachi asked.

"Seventeen," Sasori replied.

"One more year and she's hit the golden age…then I can take her to strip clubs and those eighteen or older places!" Konan cheered.

"I…don't want my wife to be exposed to that…" Sasori said, nervously and Konan 'hmphed.

"What are you getting her?" Kisame asked, smirking.

"I'm not going to tell you," Sasori said, giving his own smirk. "But it would be nice if you guys bought her a little something too," Sasori said and Kakazu mumbled something.

"What was that?" Sasori asked.

"I said that my present was that hundred buck she used on all of those pregnancy tests!" Kakazu yelled.

"How many did she buy?" Sasori asked.

"A lot," Kakazu answered. Sasori sweatdropped.

"Why won't you…make her a card from something we have around here so you don't have to buy anything, Kakazu? I'm sure she'll like that just as well as a bought present," Sasori said and Kakazu shrugged.

"One more question, big guy! Why no sex in eight weeks?" Konan asked.

"She's always angry…there's no way I'm getting naked around her," Sasori mumbled.

"But YOU made her angry!" Konan pointed out.

"To lead suspicion away from her present," Sasori retorted.

"Wonderful…why won't you go check on your wife? She's in the bathroom crying," Konan suggested as Sasori went to the bathroom. He knocked.

"Sweetheart?" Sasori asked in a very sweet voice. "My love, I'm sorry for upsetting you. Will you come out and see me?" Sasori asked as he leaned against the door, waiting for something. All he heard was soft sobbing. She was probably sobbing much louder but the door was blocking the rest of the sound.

"Go away," he heard her soft voice finally say.

"Honey, aren't you going to give me a chance?" Sasori asked. He jiggled the knob to find that she locked the door. "I love you and always will," Sasori whispered to her. He knew she had heard him because he heard her sobbing cease. Slowly the door unlocked and he saw her head pop out, still tear stained, He pulled her down with him and had her sit in-between his legs while he whispered sweet nothings in her ear and played with her hair. She eventually laid her back against his chest.

"I love you, Sasori," Sakura whispered as she fell asleep against him, comforted by his very presence.

"I love you too, Princess," Sasori whispered as he picked her up, bridal style and carried her back to their room. He laid her down and let her sleep. He tucked her in and left.

"Hey, guys," he greeted as he entered the kitchen which apparently was the hangout spot lately.

"How is she, yeah?" Deidara asked.

"Asleep. She needs her rest," Sasori said.

"Well…from now on she's on bed rest!" Konan declared.

"It's not very wise to detain my wife," Sasori mumbled.

"It's for the baby," Konan said.

"I know but she hates staying still and not able to do anything," Sasori said.

"Well…you're her parole officer until the baby's born so good luck!" Konan cheered as they all went out of the room smirking.

"Wait! Why am I--?"

"Because you're married to her, yeah."

"Great…" Sasori mumbled as he went back to his room to give her the news once she awoke. Sasori got there as she was waking up and smiled at her. This would be a fun way to spend her birthday…

"Hey, Sasori-danna," Sakura said as she put her feet on the floor. He put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. She didn't understand so he tucked her back in. By now she was glaring daggers at him.

"You're on bed rest until the baby's born, angel," Sasori replied and she started to whine. He kissed her passionately on the mouth and she complied by opening her mouth, letting his tongue ravage her mouth. She couldn't argue with a kiss.

"Seven months of laying her, you better give me more than a kiss," Sakura mumbled once they broke the kiss. He smiled and rubbed her head, the way she hated.

"I'll get you anything you need or want but you have to stay here. I'm even going to carry you to the bathroom if you need it," Sasori said.

"What about a shower?" Sakura asked.

"I'll bathe you but you can't be standing," Sasori said. Sakura scoffed.

"I'm not a kid," Sakura mumbled.

"Of course not but what else should I do? Besides I'll get in with you if you want me to," Sasori suggested and she laughed slightly.

"I'd like that," Sakura said.

How was it? Sorry it took me so long to update this story but I've had major writers block on my stories! It's slowly dissolving and I'm trying to finish up stories that I already have up before I start more! I love you all and thank you for being patient!
