-- -- -- --
The morning sun shone through the bedroom window, slicing in a perfect line across Sakura's pillow. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around her, forgetting that she had slept over at Hinata's house. Hinata was lying flat on her back, her eyes and mouth closed, her hands placed gently on her stomach. The way she sleeps matches her personality! Thought Sakura
She sat up in bed and looked at her watch. It was 7 a.m.
Sasuke...
The name played in her head. She finally realized what she had done. She had left Sasuke to sleep outside on a cold porch in the middle of November for the whole night! Even though he had a duvet, something might have happened to him. What if some perverted old man came and took him away? What if he was kidnapped? What if...?
Sakura had to find out then. She ripped off the covers and ran down the stairs to the front door in Hinata's borrowed Pajama bottoms and tank top, her heavily pregnant stomach now almost bulging through the material.
Coming to a stop by the front door, she turned the door handle and swung the door open.
Sure enough, there was Sasuke, wrapped up in the duvet, his head just sticking out of the end of it. His eyes were closed, his mouth a little open.
He meant what he said...He cared that much...He really didn't leave all night...!!
Sakura was sure of it now. There was no way Sasuke could have cheated on her. Ino was a slut anyway.
She couldn't believe what she had done. She started tearing up, the guilt too much for her to bear. She dropped to her knees on the cold wooden deck.
Slowly, Sasuke woke up and opened his eyes. He saw Sakura sitting there, staring at him.
"S-Sasuke-kun!" Sakura mumbled before leaning forward and embracing him in a power-hug. Sasuke, although still half asleep, was shocked. Was this the same Sakura that she had been last night?
"S-Sakura..." He said said, slowly hugging her back, "I thought you didn't believe me.."
"Sasuke, any guy who's willing to spend a whole night on a porch is worthy of believing!" She hiccupped. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry i did this to you!! I'm such a wretched being.."
Sasuke sat up properly, and took her face in both of his hands. "You are NOT a wretched being, you hear me? You're my precious cherry blossom, and i love you. And I want you to know that I would honestly NEVER cheat on you, especially not with that slut Ino.."
"I know, I know you wouldn't cheat on me, I'm sorry!" Sakura said. She leaned forward and kissed Sasuke on the lips, grabbing a hold of the back of his head. Sasuke closed his eyes as he returned the kiss, his arms wrapped around her.
Sakura suddenly pulled back. "Oh my god, Sasuke! The baby! It's kicking!" She quickly grabbed Sasuke's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Here, feel.."
Sasuke felt, and just like Sakura had said, he could feel small little bumps against his fingers. He looked up, his eyes wide. "Sakura, i-it's our baby!" He said, his voice cracking slightly. "How many months has it been now?" He asked.
"In 3 days, it'll be 5 months!" Sakura said. She looked down. "Hey, let's go home now...kay?"
Sasuke smiled and gave her hand a little squeeze. "Hai!"
Not wanting to wake Hinata up, Sakura put the duvet back into her house, and simply left a note telling her how grateful she was for everything she had done and letting her stay the night there. She had also left Naruto's phone number, knowing that Hinata had had a crush on him for years now.
Hand in hand, Sasuke and Sakura finally reached their house. Opening the door with the key, Sasuke yelled out "We're home! Sorry we're back late!"
There was no answer. Sakura looked around. "Where's Itachi?" She said.
"I don't know..." The two looked around the house until finally they found him. Walking into his bedroom, they saw him sleeping.
Sakura stopped and held Sasuke back. There was someone else in the bed with him. And that person, was none other than...
"INO??" Sakura said, her eyes widening.
Sasuke made a small gasp, as Itachi awoke and sat up quick as lightning in bed. He stared at the two.
"Y-You didn't..." Sasuke breathed.
Itachi looked apologetic and opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a rustling in the bed next to him. Ino sat up slowly rubbing her head. She was of course, naked, and the duvet had fallen down to her waist.
She saw the three of them staring at her, and gasped grabbing the duvet and pulling it back up to under her chin. She looked from person to person until her eyes came to rest on Sasuke. "Oohh, Hi, Sasuke!" She said, letting the duvet drop a little.
Sasuke picked up a pillow off the floor, and threw it at her to cover up her chest. "Have some shame, woman!" He yelled. "You disgust me..." He said as he left the room.
Ino looked down. "W-What did I do..." She whispered.
"Ahem, I believe I can help you there." Sakura interjected. "It may just be that you tried to turn Sasuke against me, then slept with his brother, and now are trying to seduce him once again. I think you owe someone an apology."
After Ino had got dressed again into the clothes that she wore yesterday, she went out into the living room where Sasuke was sitting.
"Ano, Sasuke"
Sasuke looked up, and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke.." Ino said "I never knew that you and Sakura were, an item. I'll back off from now on..."
Sasuke stood up. "Listen Ino, if you truly like someone, then you have to learn to not force yourself onto them. I'm sorry, I'm not going to be leaving Sakura..."
Ino looked downward.
"But I'm sure that one day, you'll meet the guy who is just perfect for you. But that guy is not me."
"I understand. I'm sorry Sasuke..."
"Hey, don't worry about it" Sasuke said, giving her a playful push. "And let's be friends from now on, kay?" Sasuke outstretched his arms.
Ino embraced him in a friendly hug. "Arigato, Sasuke!" She said as she left.
"Well, I'm glad everythings sorted out now" Sakura said, coming up from behind him and wrapping her hands around his waist.
"Yeah, except for Itachi and his many one-night stands, we'll have to work on that with him" Sasuke said with a chuckle. Itachi glared at him from the kitchen as he bit into an apple.
Back at Hinata's house, Hinata sure was having a load of fun.
For the 3rd time, she dialed Naruto's number into the phone and called him. She sat there, with her knees pulled up against her chest, her eyes windened, waiting again for the reply.
"Hello?" Naruto said.
Hinata gasped and hung up. She smiled. Just hearing Naruto's voice made her feel all jumpy and fidgety inside.
AGAIN! She thought. She repeated this process maybe 12 times, Naruto getting increasingly angry.
On the last time she called, she got a different response.
"Okay, I reconize that gasp now, It's definitely you Hinata!"
Hinata stopped. "N-Naruto?"
"Uhh, hey, umm why were you calling me so much?"
"I-I, urr, well, you see, that is.."
Naruto chuckled. "Don't worry, I play these prank call games all the time!"
"ahh, yes! That's what it was! Umm, Gomen nasai, I have to go now!"
With that Hinata hung up.
Naruto looked down at the phone and smiled. Strange girl... He thought.

Okay, so I am soo soo sorry that this chapter was short and boring! Gomen nasai! But I've just had the biggest row on earth with my sister and my dad, who were both ganging up on me.
My sister is my twin sister, and because my mom's friends are round, she has to move out of her room to make room for them and stay in my room! As you can guess this would cause a lot of fights, and they are driving me up the wall!
Ugghh, sometimes I feel like just leaving and never coming back, and going to live somewhere else serene and quiet with no homework, no bitchy sister, no asshole for a dad, no sharing rooms, and i'd get to write stories all i wanted and eat ramen...(floats away into dreamworld)
So again, sorry this chapter was boring, sorry this AN was long, and dont worry, the next chapter will be good as it's the FINAL CHAPTER!
Hope everyones day is less crappy than mine!
