Sakura lay alone in bed. Her eyes slowly drooped as she drifted to sleep. As her sight went black, her imagination began to form a dream...or what would become a nightmare.

The black scene became a vivid picture of Sakura's room. She lay there, her eyes opening to Sasuke's sweet sleeping face. It was calm and gental. His hair fell over his face and his lips curved into a sweet smile. Everything seemed so realistic to her and , as she would do so normally, she turned to face away from Sasuke. When she did, shock hit her hard. Laying beside her was the drooling, sleeping Naruto Uzumaki. Why was he in her bed? Why was he able to sleep so soundly without having Sasuke getting territorial. Sakura sat up, her heart racing. She screamed out, wanting to wake up from her nightmare. Suddenly she could feel the two strong hands on her back. She screamed out once again, wanting both of them to back away from her.
"Sakura? What's wrong babe?" Sasuke's manly voice asked.
"You ok, is the baby ok?" Naruto's voice was then heard.

Baby? what did he mean by baby. She shook her head rapidly, feeling there hands rubbing her back. She pushed them away, wanting to cry out.
"Why are you here?!" She was still screaming.

Both hands stopped rubbing her back and the feeling disappeared all together.
"I'm here because I love you Sakura. "Sasuke sounded much to sweet, very out of character. Things were really starting to scare Sakura.
"And I'm here to protect my triplets." She heard Naruto's irritating chuckle and felt his hand slide around to feel her belly.
"T-t-t-t-triplets!?" Sakura yelled out, confused and horrified.

She peered down to shere Naruto's hand was and saw her stomach, ten times the size it normally was. Her eyes widednd and she felt like she was going to puke. It couldn't be true, her swollen stomach, filled with THREE of Naruto's babies?!

The pink hair girl threw herself back down onto the bed. She closed her as tight as possible, begging to wake up from her horrifying nightmare.

Again black, Sakura sat up once again. The room was silent and her room was a vivid image. Had she woken up for real? Suddenly a baby's cry could be heard, it's volume growing and growing. The another cry joined in and another, another and yet another. They rang loudly in her head and Sakura covered her ears. The noise was so loud, it was so much. She couldn't stand this...this insanity!
"Stop stop NO!" Sakura yelled out.
"It's your own damn fault." Sasuke's crude voice was slurred "Damn whore." He then muttered.
"Wh-what?" she was nearly to tears "Sasuke help me please!"
"They ain't mine. I ain't doing shit!" He announced loudly, only making the crys louder.

As this dream played in Sakuras head she was not only speaking in her dream but out loud as well.
"N-no...st-stop please." She muttered "Don't....cry."

Sakura thrashed her body and threw herself around. She covered her ears as all she could hear was crying babies, so many babies.

Sakura awoke quickly and jolted to sit. She gasped, her chest moving back and forth rapidly. She had to calm herself, repeat over and over to herself that it was only a dream. Sakura hugged her knees to her chest. She couldn't do this alone. It wasn't healthy for her to pent up all this guilt and fear.
"Sasuke...I need you." She muttered as the tears began to ran.

The Haruno stuck her head to her knees and began to bawl, a rare sight for her indeed. She felt so weak, so alone and unloved. The tear kept coming without consent.
"Stupid!" She muttered, scolding herself "St-stop crying!"

The next morning Sakura awoke in Sasuke's arms. He was half asleep, holding her tightly. She felt secure in the embrace, warm and loved. A much better feeling then before. She blinked, feeling her eyes sore and she guessed they were red.
"Sa...kura?" Sasuke tiredly muttered.
" Y-yes...?" Sakura replied
"Why were...you...crying." Sasuke asked, then yawned.
