Chapter 22

Sakura woke with a smile. She reached up, feeling her headboard, knowing what must have happened. She stretched, seeing Itachi beside her and smiled wider.

She'd been so depressed the day before...

She turned and just watched, the soft intake of breath, his soft sigh after, the small smile that played at the corner of his lip...

She smiled, leaning over and stole a soft kiss, leaning back to watch longer, surprised when his arm snaked it's way around her waist.

She gasped as his eyes turned to her, open from nowhere.

"Good morning, wonderful." He grinned and she returned the look, leaning in for another kiss.

"Good morning, angel." She smiled before their lips touched.

It was a soft kiss, but Sakura nearly gasped at the touch, sending goose bumps across her arms. She reached up, leaning across him to rest her hand beside his head, getting a stronger angle. She kissed harder, pulling herself to her knees and using her free hand to run across Itachi's hip.

He gasped at the touch and his eyes shot open at her, confused. "Sakura, you're killing my willpower."

"That's the point." She grinned and Itachi clenched his eyes at the feeling of her hand running just above the waist of his pants, her lips trailing soft kisses down his neck.

His hands reached up, wrapping around her. "Are you sure it's not too soon?"

"It's perfect. We have three days till the mission, let's enjoy them."

"Ah..." It hadn't been meant as a moan, but it became one as her hand ran up his side, catching him off guard. "In that case..." He reached up and grasped her hands, rolling to pin her beneath.

His lips came crashing down on hers, and to her surprise he was already pressing hard against her. Her legs wrapped around him as his kisses made their way to her ear, the feeling making her a little dizzy, but it felt so wonderful! As her feet pressed against him, pulling him harder to her, she could feel right where he was positioned and pulled up her hips, pressing her chest harder against him, as well as rubbing him through the pants.

He hissed, pulling his head up, the feeling of her more than he could take and he lost his thoughts, not surprised when she flipped him back over, grasping his wrists instead.

She sat up, releasing his hands and pulled her shirt off, surprised when he reached up and yanked the front of the bra, tearing the fabric free from her.

He sat up, licking and sucking the soft pink area there watching as her head lulled back, listening to the soft gasp she made.

He smiled as he heard the sound. His hands made their way to her waist, the soft tips of his fingers running over her skin, causing her to moan.

She jumped up, standing above him and reached down, sliding her pants from her.

Itachi watched with wide eyes as she tossed them to the side of the bed and lowered herself back down to his lap, the feeling of her without one of the pairs of pants amazing already.

Itachi suddenly worried that he was getting too excited, that he wouldn't last through more than a few seconds of this.

She reached down, yanking his pants from him, smiling at the knowledge that he didn't wear anything beneath.

As she threw them from the bed she reached down and crashed her lips to his, pressing herself against him again, surprised at the feeling of him through so little clothing.

"I can't take much more of this!" He gasped at her, his head spinning by now.

He flipped her over, tearing the last part of her clothing free from her. He reached up, running his thumb across her soft chest before grasping her hands, again holding them hard above her head. He claimed one desperate kiss before pushing softly against her, feeling the softness of her, the wetness that made him slide so easily over her.

Sakura's head whipped to the side as he rubbed against her most sensitive place.

He smiled as he rubbed against her again, taking in her expression. "You're so beautiful..."

She looked up at him with wide eyes, her heart pounding.

He pushed again and again, never completely taking her, but after a few minutes, none the less, she gasped, her legs holding him so tightly to her! It changed the angles and on his next push he crashed into her, his head falling to her chest, gasping for air, doing his best not to go right then and there.

He moved a little, looking up at her, the expression on her face was captivating. She bit her bottom lip, her eyes clenched, he could feel her pulsing around him. He pushed again, hearing her gasp at the movement, and smiled as he did so again, watching the same response.

Every heated second pushed them closer and closer, each moment she breathed harder, and within minutes, the light gasps were loud moans, probably heard as far as the street.

He pushed for the final time, spilling into her, the feeling of her, of him, it was too much and he couldn't stop the convulsions his body controlled, pushing him again and again.

"Itachi..." She gasped out, her eyes soft and smiling at him as he looked at her, surprised.

"It was your first too, wasn't it?" He smiled with a guilty nod and she kissed him lightly.

"I thought the first time was supposed to hurt for you..." He smiled, not really complaining.

"Yeah, it was supposed to. Glad it didn't, though." She smiled and he nodded.

"Me too. I'd prefer not to hurt you."

He leaned down to kiss her, realizing two things. First, she was squeezing so tightly against him that he doubted he could pull out. Second, he was still fully within her, having not lost any of his hardness that rested within her.

He pulled back softly before pushing again into her.

It took a good four hours till they crawled out of bed, both ready to go back to sleep.

By the time that Gaara got there, three days later, neither one of them even knew what day it was.

Sakura opened the door, dressed in a light yukata, her hair pulled up, her eyes wide, her cheeks an odd pink.

"I thought I would warn you, the meeting has been moved again. I won't need your help for two days, as the meeting has been moved here."

"Oh!" She gasped, wide eyes. Gaara smiled at her and bowed softly.

"Don't overdo it. Remember to go get something to eat."

"What?!" She gasped, realizing exactly what he was talking about.

"Me, Naruto, Everyone with sensitive ears could hear you in town. Naruto's having a bet to see how long till you guys actually leave your house. So, could you do me a favor?"

"Uh-huh!" She gasped, embarrassed as hell.

"Go get some groceries or something tomorrow?" He grinned, surprising the hell out of Sakura. "And don't die. I've already told Naruto I'm claiming you guys for the walk home next week. It'll be boring, but it'll give us someone new to talk to." He smiled and Sakura nodded.

"Till then, It was good to see you." Gaara bowed with a soft smile and Sakura returned it.

"I'll see you soon." She smiled at him.

She was surprised.

After that, Itachi was nearly always smiling at her. For the next week till they left for their mission, he was always smiling.

She noticed, though, that about halfway to Sunagakure he frowned, looking hard at her. His tomoe turned, the sharingan looking at her when his eyes widened.

"Oh... Oh my god..."

"What?" She smiled, looking over at him, not expecting to see the look on his face. Worry, confusion, excitement. "What's up?!" She stared, surprised when he just shook his head.

It was nearly five days by the time they walked back through their front door, smiling, ready for the next few days of just being home.

"Sakura, we need to talk." She turned, seeing a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong? That's the second time you've made that face... it worries me."

"It worries me too. I can't... I can't allow you to go on any more missions for a while." She turned to him, eyes wide.

"What?! Why can't I? Even the minor ones?!" He smiled.

"If they're not too strenuous, then it's alright. No chakra usage for speed. No heavy punches. No heavy lifting."

"Why can't I do that?! It's part of my job! Itachi-"

"You're pregnant." He looked at her, and she could feel the fear radiate from him. She realized why he was scared.

She couldn't think too much about it right then, though, as all she could do was stand there, eyes wide, her hands dropped to her side, her bag falling unnoticed to the floor.

"Pregnant? Are you sure?"

"It's right here." Itachi's eyes turned slowly, pointing at the spot just beneath her belly button. "It's small, but it's there. That kind of overshadows what I was going to do..." He frowned and Sakura just stared, stunned.

"Here." Itachi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He handed it to her and watched as she opened it, seeing the ring from the village.

Her eyes shifted up to him, surprised, but even more as he slowly knelt before her, taking her free hand.

"Sakura, I want us to spend the rest of our lives together. I know now that I would die without you."

As realization took her over she felt dizzy, nearly falling, but was caught quickly.

"It was too much, wasn't it?"

"You planned this all the way back then?! This is the ring I was looking at in the village! You were planning to ask me that long ago?!" Tears streamed from her eyes and he smiled, nodding lightly.

"Itachi!" She gasped as she threw her arms around his neck. "I could never! I could never ever say no to you!" She sobbed.

Itachi realized what she'd said and grinned, holding her tight.

Sakura stopped, looking over when she heard the slight sob escape him. "Itachi? What's wrong?!"

He sobbed again, holding her as tightly to him as possible.

"I just regained all of my dreams... I never thought... I didn't think that it would happen." He cried, Sakura realized and grabbed him, holding him as tightly as she could.

It was another few days till Sakura sent the first note to Deidera.

'Deidera,

I've missed you, and we have a lot of news, but I'm worried to hurt you anymore.

Right now, me and Itachi are very happy. We're expecting a baby in nearly nine months. We're getting married in three months. I hope things are going as well for you. I miss you.

Please take care of yourself, and remember to check on Miyabi.

Tell everyone I miss them.

Itachi says to find a girl quick so you can come back.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sakura'
