Disclaimer: nope, no Naruto for me.

The Letter

Sakura rolled over in her sleep, sighing contentedly, then she sat up alarmed. Sasuke was no

longer lying next to her. Then she remembered him saying that he had to go out on a mission.

She lay back down on the pillows and when she did she noticed something laying beside her on

Sasuke's pillow. Smiling, she reached over to open the letter he had left her.

I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye before I left, but I didn't want to wake you. You've been

working to hard again and need to rest. Tsunade gave you the day off, so stay at home and relax.

I'll return home from my mission shortly.

Sasuke

Sakura rolled her eyes at the order to stay put, she felt fine, and hated lazing about. 'Oh well' she

thought. 'I'd better stay, he probably has Naruto watching to make sure I don't leave.' She

couldn't help but smile though. Although it annoyed her, they were only worried about her, and

Sasuke wouldn't be there is she used to much chakra again. Besides, she figured being pregnant

was a good enough reason to laze about for a day.
