"Daddy, when is the baby going to be here?" Kidoshi asked. Sasuke glanced down and smiled at him.

"Soon," he answered. 'I hope.'

"Daddy?" the kid asked again. Sasuke sighed, a little peeved that he kept getting interrupted while making dinner for the family. First it was Roku and Hebauki with the fighting, then it was the girl's with their argument over who was the better Twilight character—Jasper of Emmett (like he would know?)—and then it was he was distracted with kissing his wife (well, he was the one who started it), and now Kidoshi wouldn't stop asking him questions!

At the moment, Kenoshu, his ten year old, was his favorite.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Where do babies come from?"

Sasuke froze in making the food. Did his seven-year old just ask one of the two forbidden questions?

"SAKURA!"

"MOMMY!" Sakura groaned while turning her head over to look out her bedroom door. A moment later she saw her youngest son run into the room. He would have jumped onto the bed, but Sasuke told him that mommy was fragile for a while, so he had to be careful. So instead, he was jumping up and down on the floor.

"Is something wrong, Kidoshi?" she asked. She was trying to sleep . . .

"Daddy won't tell me where babies come from!" he complained. She was about to answer with "the stork", but unfortunately, Hebauki just happened to be walking by the room when the question was asked. He simply froze at the door, a smirk on his face.

"Hey, kid, I'll tell you where babies come from—"

"No you will NOT!" his mother shouted. She gave her older son a stern glare, to which he scampered away from. Once he was gone, Sakura slowly maneuvered herself to get off of the bed. It was extremely painful, considering it was a large baby and she was due in a few weeks. In the process, Kidoshi had grabbed her hand, trying to help his mother. She smiled down at him, thanking him for helping.

"Mommy, I know that the baby is here—" he said while pointing at her large stomach,"—but I just want to know how they get it out," he told her innocently. Sakura sighed in relief. At least he didn't ask how babies were made.

"I'll tell you another time; right now, Mommy just wants to go downstairs." The two made the slow journey to the kitchen where everyone else was sitting, starting to eat already. As Sakura was making her plate, something happened. She suddenly was hunched over, her face in shock.

"Sasuke!"

The man was by her side in an instant, gripping her by the shoulders.

"I think my water just broke!"

Suddenly, everyone except the youngest two boys were rushing around. Roku and Sasuke were helping the woman in labor as Hebauki and Mikoto used their ninja speed to go to the hospital to get a room ready for their mother. Tiashi and Mitsuki led Kenoshu and Kidoshi outside behind their parents and oldest brother.

The trip to the hospital took about five minutes. Sasuke noticed that Sakura had pure pain etched on her face—more than what she did with the other kids. He began to worry.

When they put the woman on a bed in a small room, Sasuke took her hand and gave it a squeeze. Shizune and Tsunade came in with two other doctors and began.

"Okay, Sakura, push! You're doing great, girl!" Shizune said. Five minutes in, though, Tsunade gasped.

"Get Sasuke out!" she yelled to one of the doctors. The male Uchiha glared at her in surprise.

"No! I will be here with my wife—"

"Sasuke, go!" she barked. He was suddenly being dragged out of the room. Apparently one of the doctors happened to be in ANBU, also. When he was at the end of the hall, he heard Sakura scream. Before he could dash back to her side to comfort her, the man beside him held his shoulder firmly.

"Don't worry, sir, your wife will be perfectly fine," he said while leading Sasuke to where he rest of the family was.

"What the hell is going on?!" he shot back, starting to get enraged.

"We will explain momentarily." And then the doctor left quickly, heading back to the room Sakura was in. Sasuke fell into a chair in front of his family, glaring at the ground in anger and confusion.

"Dad, what's going on?" Hebauki asked, speaking for everyone else as well.

"I-I don't know . . ." he whispered. He then felt a small pair of hands grasp his own. It was his youngest son, Kidoshi. He gave his father a smile, but his eyes showed worry.

"I'm sure Mommy will be just fine!" he said softly.

'I hope you're right . . . '

Countless hours later, Shizune walked into the large waiting room where the family sat in dead silence. When the all took notice to her presence, she motioned for them all to follow her.

They came to the room Sakura had been giving birth in, and the family slowly made their way inside, Sasuke bringing up the rear. When he entered, a sight made his heart clench. Sakura was on her side, her back to them, curled into a ball. He was immediately at her side, trying to be gentle in getting her to sit up. When she turned to face him, he saw the path of dried tears that had run down her red cheeks. Her shoulders began to shake as new tears flowed quickly down her face again.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice hoarse. "I'm so sorry, Sasuke!" Sasuke crawled onto the hospital bed and cradled his wife in his arms, glancing at the shocked and worried expressions on their kids.

"Mom, what happened?" Roku asked. Sakura leaned back from Sasuke, trying to wipe the tears off of her face. She sniffled a few times before answering.

"I lost the baby," she said, her voice almost inaudible. Roku and Hebauki's faces showed utter shock, while the female triplets started to cry them self, along with the two younger boys.

"Sakura, how . . .?" Sakura took a shuttering breath.

"Tsunade said that he was coming out totally wrong—his back was starting out first, meaning he was bent in a way an unborn shouldn't ever be. Shizune had tried to turn it around so that he could be delivered properly, but the umbilical cord got . . . caught around his neck. By the time he was untangled, we had lost him!" As Sasuke brought her back into his arms, she started to apologize again, but he stopped her.

"Sakura, this isn't your fault. It was . . . and unfortunate event, and there was nothing that could have been done." In a matter of seconds, the whole family was around the parents in a large hug, tears on all faces.

And in all the pain and sadness, Sakura almost smiled. Because even though she just lost a new son before he was even born, she still had her husband and kids. And nothing could ever take them away.

So, I was in a crappy mood, and then I started this. I looked at it today and decided to finish it. Along with another that will be postes soon!
