A/N: Okay guys now that's the type of response I was waiting for! Maybe a little more? Ohh well, your requests and reviews have made me write at incredible speed! I'm also anxious to finish it cause I got hols in 7 days! Yay, I'll be sitting on the beach, thinking of new stories I can write for you! Ohh well, so what are the Akatsuki planning? And are they going to kill Sakura and the babies? Read on people...
Sakura sat in the doctors waiting room, absentmindedly swinging her legs. She'd gone into a fake labour last night and apparently she almost delivered right there and then. Gaara was worried and told Tarina to take her down. Tarina was reading her new gossip magazine next to Sakura and various other patients were huddled in over near the other wall. An old man came out of the examining room and looked over to a heavily pregnant Sakura.
"Excuse me, when is it due?", he said politely. Sakura smiled, everyone knew who she was and it was much like an extended family...
"They're due in about three weeks", Sakura said happily. The man looked stunned.
"More than one? You lucky girl! My wife had three! How many? Triplets? Quads? Twins?", he asked. She smiled even broader than before.
"Twins, one's a little ahead of the other though...there's a little boy and a little girl...", she said estatically. He smiled and nodded, returning to the hospital secretary holding out the form for him.
"Hope all goes well then love...Have a nice day then, i'm off to the sauna's...", he said with a little gleam in his eye. Sakura smiled and returned to Tarina.
"There are some really werid people around here Tarina...". Tarina just chuckled and returned to her magazine. Sakura sunk back into her chair and waited for the doctor.
The doctor came soon after the old man had left and guided then to his small, blue room. He closed the door and sat down at his tidy desk.
"So you went into a little bit of labour pains last night did you?", he asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, I just felt this odd cramp and noticed i'd, ummm...wet myself...", she said embarrassed. He nodded. Thank god he was a doctor, otherwise this would be a lot harder...
"Don't worry Sakura, it's natural. I'd say your days are numbered before you have the babies. The older one is almost ready and probably wanted out...so it caused your waters to break. Nothing to worry now though, do you still feel any pain? or are you still feeling a wetness all the time?", he asked quietly. Sakura hesitated.
"The pains yes, but no fluid...It's more a dull throbbing than an actual pain. Kind of like period pain but a little more throbbing...", she said, braver now. He checked his clipboard quickly.
"Yes, i'd say you've got about...a week and a half left. You'll probably be immobile by the end of this week...", he said gently.
"I don't understand! I thought you said I had a month!", she said loudly. He shook his head.
"Technically you went into labour, not something we were expecting. But then again there has never been a pure blood demon born...they're always created. So our times may be off depending on what happens during the pregnancy".
"But you delivered Hinata's babies! They're demon!", Sakura said, practically screaming at him now.
"Now, now Sakura don't eat the nice doctor...", Tarina said smiling. Sakura glared at her and returned to her intended victim, the doctor.
"No, only Naruto is a demon...Both you and Gaara are demons, that's the difference. Hinata is one-hundred-percent human".
"So your saying that they could be delivered early?", Sakura said, quieter now.
"Exactly, so i've advised Gaara to check you into the hospital immediately", the doctor said. Aknock at the door made Sakura jump miles off her seat.
"Sorry i'm late doctor, I had a meeting with Naruto and he bought the kids...", a rather red-faced Gaara walked in and sat down next to Sakura and Tarina. Sakura looked at him shocked.
"I guess he told you huh?", Gaara said looking down at the floor like a puppy that just got scolded.
"Yeah, he did. But why?", Sakura asked them both.
"Because, the babies are unstable. One wrong move and you could be delivering in your house, that could get you killed Sakura. Afterwards you'll need some of Gaara's blood to keep you alive and stop the internal bleeding", the doctor said. Tarina listened carefully but remained hidden behind her magazine. This could be usefull to Pein-sama...
"To ensure we catch it in time, as we don't know the exact date, you need to stay here under 24-hour observation. Gaara will take time off to be with you just in case he's needed as well...", the doctor continued. Sakura stared at him in horror.
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HAVING A FAMILY COULD KILL ME!!!", Sakura shouted at the doctor.
"'Tis the way of the demon Sakura...", he said. She got up and stomped out of the room.
"Better go catch her before she goes on a murderous rampage around the hospital...", Gaara said to the doctor as he lept from his chair after Sakura. Tarina got up and closed the door, leaving the two in the room.
"So, think it's enough for Pein-sama?", Tarina ( Konan) asked the doctor. He nodded and put his necklace back on. The sliver symbol shined deadly and ghostly in the dark office.
"More than enough Konan. But i do know some stuff about pregnancy, after all I rip bodies up for a living...", Hidan answered evilly. Konan shok her head. Why did she have to get up with this physco? Last time she'd been his partner she'd shoved his head in a toilet...Now that was fun! Hidan opened the closet that held all the equipment and a man, probably less than twenty fell out and landed with a dull thud on the floor. Then a large black shadow stepped over the fallen man and came to stop in front of Konan.
"That was squishy", the older man said to her. She looked terrified as she looked down at the lifeless being on the floor.
"Ohh man Itachi you killed him!!!!! He was ment to be my offering to Jashin-sama!", Hidan whinned. Itachi turned two flaming red sharingan on him and Hidan hufffed. Konan inched closer to the fine specimen of manlyness and gently grabbed his arm with her delicate, butterfly-soft hands. Itachi growled and inched towards the wall, sending her off balance.
Itachi! You dickhead!!!! Look what you did to lady Konan", he said infuriated as he helped Konan off the floor. Itachi just stared at the window.
"We have to go now, they'll be back soon...", he whispered and seemed to vanish into thin air. Hidan and Konan both blikned in surprise.
"He's creepy...", Hidan said. Konan glared at him with her bright, intelegent, green eyes. Hidan shrunk away.
"Shut the hell up Hidan, remember what happened last time I got mad...Now come on, we need to catch up to Itachi-sama!", she said, maintaining the evil stare. Hidan nodded and vaulted through the open window to land soundly on the concrete three stories below, Konan right behind him. He's unwilling to show his emotions to me...after all we've done together and he still doesn't trust me. Maybe his downfall is still fresh in his mind after that Sasuke kid ripped him to shreds...he used his own pain to make Itachi fall...What a boy, no wonder Ita-san didn't kill him...
Gaara paced the length of the room as Sakura yelled at him.
"So you were planning on risking my life just so you could have some little kids running around the place!!!!! How could you?", she screamed at him. Her demon was oddly cool at the moment, had she been angry...Gaara would have a demon fight on his hands...
"Sakura-", Gaara started. Sakura cut him off again. She'd been ranting for ten minutes now...
"Gaara, I'm trying to talk to you and you're interrupting!", she screamed at him, balling her fists at her sides. Gaara shook his head as she ranted on...
"Sakura! Shut it!", he said suddenly making her pause and glare menicingly at him. He glared back.
"Why should I?", she answered back.
"Because if you do then I van explain it, Ok?", Gaara said calmer now that she'd stopped. She nodded in a sarcastic way.
"Fine, continue", she said with a disusted look on her face.
"I did it for you...You always seemed so...down, when the little ones came for a visit. And I remember you telling me that you treat them as your own. So I decided i'd give you your own, out of curiosity, to actually see if we were sterile, and to make you happier by giving you a child or two...", Gaara said. By the end of his speech he was looking down at the floor... Sakura felt a warm, salty tear build itself up and dribble down her cheek. She wiped at it furiously to no avail...she was suddenly sobbing with hurt. Why would Gaara do this for her? How come he paid so much attention to her actions to have picked that up? She knew perfectly well, deep down inide he didn't want kids, he was affraid they'd turn out like him... She smiled at him through the tears and embraced him awkwardly, he belly bulging into his chest. He smiled and dipped his head down.
"Nothing will happen to you, I swear...", he whispered gently. She nodded and looked up.
"But what if something does go wrong? What if I die?", she asked him in a shakey voice. He smiled at her.
"Then I will make sure the two little ones grow up strong and healthy...and always remember you...", he said comfortingly. She smiled and he picked her up in his arms. Even pregnant she was petite, almost weightless to Gaara. He placed her down on the bed and hummed the soothing lullaby-poem he used on the little ones. ...
"The night wind whistles through the dunes,
Belighting a slivery full moon,
Creatures dance and Demons cry,
Black winged creatures of the desert fly,
Turning, twisting...
Hush my baby, don't you cry,
Feel the creatures soar and glide,
Large and small they slip and slide,
Down the dunes and through the sky,
Now hush my baby, don't you cry...I'm right here by your side..." As Gaaa finished Sakura rolled over to face him, sitting in the chair. She smiled.
"That was beautiful...Where did you learn it?", Sakura asked quietly, half asleep already...
" Yashamaru...", Gaara said, his voice breaking painfully as two small tears rained down on his cheek...
"I'm soo sorry Gaara...I take it he ment a lot to you...", Sakura said comfortingly. Gaara burried his face in his hands, more tears carving silvery lines down his face, glinting in the on- coming moonlight. Sakura laced her hands around his large chest and hugged him deeply. The male baby even made a move and punched out, making a small bump in Sakura's heavily bloated stomach. Gaara smiled all of a sudden and place his massive, warm hand on her stomach. The little footsies went crazy, kicking her in the ribs and outwards towards Gaara's hand. The little female body started too! Soon both were kicking frantically against the smooth, stretch-marked belly.
"Wow, slow down you two! Your going to make mummy go into labour sweeties...", Sakura purred as Gaara took away his hand. The kicking immediately stopped and activity returned to normal.
"Wow, that little male is going crazy! What have you been eating lately?", Gaara said suprised at the play. Sakura shrugged.
"Nothing out of the ordinary". Gaara chuckled lightly and laid her down again. He began to sing the lullaby again and she drifted off into a peaceful sleep. Gaara laid his head down behind her and for once in the past month...drifted off as well...
Konan resurfaced after the kiss. She'd cornered Itachi that evening and pinned him to a tree. Why am I doing this? He's waaayyy Younger than me! she thought to herself as she stared into the dark inky depths of Itachi Uchiha's eyes. True, he was blind but he knew what he was doing... He peeled her off him and stared pushing her away.
"Why don't you show emotion Itachi! You're such an ass you know that!!", Konan shouted after him. He stopped and looked in her general direction.
"I don't, end of story...", he said numbly and walked off towards the cave. She ran after him, then he disapeared...
"Itachi?", she said, sounding confused... she looked around towards every crack in the hill. A Shadow sudden;y dropped infront of her and she screamed, only to have that scream covered by a pair of soft, cool lips... Itachi pulled away after a few seconds, leaving her breathless...
"I do feel emotion...but only for certain people...", he said as he walked off again. Konan just stared after him. Itachi laughed to himself as he walked away... Pah! I don't show emotion! Maybe emotion is what got you killed in the first plave Itachi... He thought to himself.
Pein adressed the gang appropriately, dressed in his Akatsuki cloak and chain mail shirt.
"She is due soon! Your two months is over! Now we must move! Gather your things we leave at sunrise...", Pein informed the mass of 'S' class crims. They nodded in silent approval and went to their lairs...Kisame looked around for Itachi.
"Hey Pein, where's Itachi?", Kisame asked the leader. He looked bored...
"Do I look like your personal locator? Go find him yourself Kisame...", he said grumpily and stalked off towards his room. What's he so pissed about? Kisame asked himself...
A/N: So no conclusion yet...Your all probably wanting to kill me at the moment aren't you for me keeping you in suspense. But OMG how cute was Gaara's poem...I called it The Demon's Dance and it's pretty much a desert lullaby...hehheh, obviously we have a special connection between father and son already, and the BABY GIRL was mentioned!!!! How cute, and OMG OMG OMG Konan and Itachi??????????? What the hell??????
