Sakura looked down at the pregnancy test in her trembling hands. There it was, sure as she was alive, the little pink plus sign.
She started tearing up inside the bathroom cubicle.
What the hell am I going to do??
This message played over and over again in her head like a stuck record player as she walked out of the girls bathroom, her head bowed.
What was she going to tell Itachi and Sasuke?! Should she hide it from them until they found out, or just come straight out and tell them?!
A week went by. It was now coming into winter, and as a result, it was easy to hide up her ever growing baby bump. She wore hoodies and leggings or sweat pants every day to school, as her regular pants no longer fitted.
Coming home from school one day, she decided that she had to come out with it. It had already been seven weeks, and let's face it, her bump was far from invisible. Even the hoodies were starting to be useless. She was extremely surprised that Sasuke hadn't found out on his own considering how intelligent he was.
Alright, she thought, This is it. As soon as I get home I'm telling Sasuke. He's the only one I truly connect to with all my heart. I feel I could tell him anything.
Sakura turned the key in the lock to the Uchiha house, and stepped inside. Walking into her bedroom, she dumped her bag down on the floor, with difficulty too. It was getting harder and harder for her to bend down.
"Sasuke?" She called out of her door. "Could you please help me with something in here?"
If she was going to tell, it would be Sasuke first, and Itachi later. Sasuke, out in the kitchen jumped up and walked over to her room, slightly surprised as Sakura hardly ever asked him for help with anything.
"Hey, What's up?" He asked as he walked into her room. He leaned forward and gave her a quick, yet passionate kiss on the lips.
Sakura closed and locked the door behind them, locking them both in the room. She then turned round to Sasuke, who now had a confused expression on his face.
"Sasuke, I've got something I have to tell you..."
"...What is it?" Sasuke said, his voice slow and curious.
"..."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. She tried again. "I...I..." She stuttered.
"Sakura it's okay, take your time...What is it sweetie? You know you can tell me anything..." Sasuke said, looking ever the more concerned, coming over to take her hands in his.
This time, Sakura took a deep breath before making her final attempt.
"S-Sasuke, I-I'm pregnant..."
Sasuke's eyes widened instantly. His mouth opened a little. "W-What did you s-say??" He whispered.
"I'm pregnant Sasuke!" Sakura said, this time louder having gained more courage.
Sasuke stared at her with wide eyes. Slowly, he reached out his hands and placed them on her stomach. Sure enough, he felt the small, growing bump. He gasped when he touched it, and looked back up at her with glistening eyes.
"Oh, S-Sakura..." He whispered pulling her into an embrace. Immediately Sakura burst into tears for his warm, loving touch.
Surprised by her reaction, Sasuke hugged her tighter. "Sakura, don't cry! It'll be alright! You don't have to worry about anything, I'll make sure everything turns out okay..." Sasuke said, rubbing her back soothingly up and down.
"S-Sasuke.. W-what am I going to do?!" Sakura sobbed, holding onto his shirt tightly as if her life depended on it.
"Ssssh, It's going to be alright...trust me, we'll figure out what to do, sure we will.."
Suddenly Sasuke stiffened. He pulled back from Sakura.
"It's all my fault..." He started to say.
"Sasuke, no..." Sakura started.
Sasuke interrupted her. "Yes it is! If I hadn't..." He then blushed and looked up at Sakura. "Well, you know, just...Damnit, I should have just used a condom!!"
Sakura took his hand in hers. "Sasuke, it is not your fault! Where in the hell would there be condoms out in that cabin in the middle of nowhere?! And, it's just as much my fault, because well...I let you!" Sakura then smiled at him.
They both looked at eachother and chuckled. "I still can't believe that..." Sasuke said slowly "Being together with the most beautiful, amazing girl I've ever known in my life..."
Sakura looked at him with the deepest love in her eyes and pulled Sasuke into a deep, loving passionate kiss. Sasuke returned the kiss, combing his fingers through her soft pink hair. They started moving backward toward the bed, stepping further and further until Sakura fell onto the bed, Sasuke coming down ontop of her.
Sakura pulled out of the kiss. "Ahhh! Sasuke, the baby, carefull!!"
"Oh my god, I'm sorry!"
Sasuke rolled off to lie next to her on the bed, both of them lying on their backs. They turned their heads to the sides to look at eachother. There was a pause before Sasuke broke the silence.
"So, are you going to keep the baby, or have an abortion, or...what?"
Sakura's smile faded. She bit her lip. "I don't want to have an abortion...Even if it's not out yet, it's still my baby, and I don't think I could just kill it...I've never really believed in abortions. But at the same time, I don't think I can look after it either..." Sakura started tearing up again. "Oh god, what am I going to do..."
There was another pause as they both thought. "Well, there's always adoption. You wouldn't have to kill your baby, but at the same time, You wouldn't have to look after it."
Sakura's eyes lit up, just a little.
"That seems like the best idea to me...But I think maybe we should consult Itachi first, I mean, he doesn't even know yet..."
Sasuke nodded. They both got up and slowly walked out of the bedroom to Itachi who was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper.
"Itachi," Sasuke said, a look of unease across his face "We've got something to tell you..."
"I-I'm pregnant..." Sakura came out, this time easily, with a lot more confidence after having told Sasuke.
Itachi kept his eyes on his paper. "Cool" He said. "Are we getting take-out for dinner tonight?"
Sasuke and Sakura just stared at Itachi. Had he just said what they thought he'd said?!
"Didn't you hear properly? Sakura is pregnant, Itachi..."
Itachi looked up from his newspaper at them both. "Oh please come on? You think I didn't know? Sakura vomiting? Recently resorting to hoodies and leggings lately? It was easy to tell! I was just waiting to see when you would find out, so I guess today is the day she decided to tell you..."
The two were speechless. The stood there and continued to stare. "S-So you knew then?" Sasuke said.
"Afraid so." Itachi said putting his newspaper down and standing up. "There is one thing I'm not quite 100 percent sure on though." He turned to Sakura. "Whose baby is it?"
Sakura looked back at Itachi, who looked her right in the eye. A stricken look came over her face. Sasuke seemed to be extremely interested in his feet all of a sudden. Sakura looked down at the floor before gulping and saying ever so quietly, "I-It's Sasuke's..."
Itachi smiled and looked at Sasuke. "Heh, I thought so! Well well well now, our Sasuke certainly has grown to be a big boy, hasn't he?"
"Shut up..." Sasuke said quietly, his fists slowly clenching.
"What was it like, Sasuke?"Itachi said chuckling, "Was it worth your precious virginity... UGGGHH!!"
Sakura gasped looking hurt.
Itachi was interrupted by an almighty blow around the head from Sasuke.
"RESPECT MY DIGNITY, DAMNIT!" Sasuke yelled "AND SAKURA'S! This is the worst time to be making jokes now, BAKA! Sakura is in a very insecure place right now!!"
"Alright, alright,...I'm sorry Sasuke, and Sakura..." Itachi rubbed his head.
"Well" Sakura said slowly, trying to forget what Itachi had just said "All we need to figure out now is what we're going to do..."
The three of them talked for about half an hour, debating over all the scenarios, risks, and logic of their ideas, and figuring out which would be beneficial at this present time. In the end, Sakura not being able or ready to look after the baby at her young age of 17, and also very unsettled at the idea of killing her baby in an abortion, decided that adoption was the best thing to do. The abortion was also EXTREMELY expensive, far more than Sakura could ever pay off.
"Alright, so, adoption it is then?" Sakura said looking happier that the problem was solved.
"Agreed" The Uchiha brothers both said.
"Well, glad that's worked out then. I'm going to get some soup..." Itachi said wandering off.
"Ugghh, how can he be so non-chalant at this time?!" Sasuke said quietly through gritted teeth.
"Hey, it's okay, We've finally figured out what we're going to do now! I think this is a cause for celebration!" Sakura walked over to a small remote on the shelf, and clicked a button on it. Slow music started playing.
Sasuke relaxed. "Ahhh, touche!" He said. Then, he put one hand behind his back, and stretched the other out infront of him and bowed slightly. "May I have this dance?" He said with a small chuckle.
"You may indeed!" Sakura said giggling, taking his hand. She wrapped her ams around Sasuke's neck and pulled his body closer to her until they were embraced in a warming hug. They rocked backwards and forwards, dancing to the rythym of the music.
Their two bodies became one, swaying in time to the music, both of them taking in eachother's scent. Sasuke hugged her tighter, his head resting over the back of her shoulder, his eyes closed. There was no debating it. His feelings were 100 percent strong, and set in stone.
He loved this girl from the bottom of his heart.
"So, Will you still love me when I become as big as a whale?" Sakura said, with a light chuckle.
Sasuke brought his head back off her shoulder just enough, so their noses were touching.
"I will love you forever, Sakura..." He said slowly, the whole time looking directly into her eyes.
The gap bwtween their lips closed, as Sasuke pressed his lips against Sakura's, his hand running along the back of her head. Sakura returned the kiss, both of them still dancing in time to the music.
