Naruto walked off to wait for Hinata to finish training, Sasuke went home and Sakura also went home and stayed in her room thinking about whether or not to call Sasuke and organise a time to tell her mum about her pregnancy. Even though she had just seen him.
She decided to talk to Sasuke after training tomorrow about it, she also decided she would talk to him about if she should call her friends over as well.
What both Sasuke and Sakura didn't know was that in the shadows following Sasuke to the Uchiha's grave site was the rest of the gang. They had followed him to see what was up with Sakura. They listened to everything Sasuke was saying and it seemed he was saying nothing about Sakura.
The gang jumped to a tree closer to Sasuke and listened even more. Subconsciously, they were all holding their breathes.
Sakura was now 2 months pregnant and she and Sasuke had already told her parents and it was time to tell their friends. They had to wait though as Naruto and Hinata were out on a date, as were Neji and Ten-Ten and Ino and Shikamaru.
Once their friends were round and everyone was sat down, everyone had their eyes on Sasuke and Sakura.
They had invited Rock-Lee and a few others over as well. "What are we doing here you two?" Rock-Lee asked looking at Sasuke and Sakura. Suddenly noticing their linked hands. "Well, you're here because...." Sakura's voice trailed off and replaced by Sasuke's,"Sakura's pregnant!" He said to get it over with.
Everyone sat there wide eyed at the two of them. Hinata was the first one to speak,"C-congrats, y-you two. W-who's the f-father?" Hinata stuttered out, having a pretty good guess already but knew everyone wanted it confirmed. The rest of them looked at them and they REALLY wanted to know.
Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other and then Sakura looked down and said clearly, "Sasuke." Lee looked teary eyed and sat there but congratulated them anyway.
The next thing the two parents-to-be knew they were bombarded with 'congratulations' and 'How far gone are you, Sakura?' or 'Is it a boy or a girl?' or 'Can I touch your stomach?' (A/N: The last question is only from the girls) The last question they got was 'When and how did it happen?'
Sakura started explaining everything that happened and that Kakashi is trying to see whether or not if she can have time off to have the baby.
In the Hokage's office Kakashi was explaining everything to the Hokage that Sakura had told him and more. "I believe Sasuke is the father of her baby and they both wish that Sakura stop training until she is ready and the baby is old enough to be left alone." Kakashi stated to the Hokage and the other senseis. Hokage thought for moment and said in response, "Cancel training until Sakura and the baby are ready. Cancel it for all nine 'rookies' and for Gai-sensei's team as well."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Back with the gang, all 12 of them, the four senseis explained that everyone will be taking time off to help Sakura and her child. However everyone was, at the moment, just happy to have time off. That was because they had been so busy with all the missions they seemed to be getting.
Back at her house, Sakura had got read of the pregnancy test and was taking a break. She was in her room and writing in her diary for the first time in 4 months,
Dear Diary,
I have some important news, I'M PREGNANT!! I know, can you believe it? I didn't either at first. It all happened when Sasuke came back from defeating his brother and Orochimaru. Sasuke is the father of this baby. I have a gut feeling Rock-Lee is upset as I know he likes me. Hahaha! However I can't help but feel a little sorry for him but I know there's someone out there for him.
She continued to write about everything that had happened since she became pregnant.
With Sasuke back at his house he was thinking about the past events, how he was going to cope being a father and how he was going to keep it together with Sakura and for their baby. "Great, I get Sakura pregnant and now I have to stay with her for our kid. We can't do any missions or training for about a year while the others get stronger." He thought frustrated at himself.
All of a sudden Sasuke started to hear an other version of his voice, It was Inner Sasuke. "Hello! You don't have to stay with Sakura for your kid, you want to!!" "Shut Up!" He snapped back.
Sasuke couldn't believe it he was having an argument with his inner self. Then Inner Sasuke said something Sasuke had known but ignored for her own safety. HE LOVED SAKURA!! Suddenly he started to think of her beauty, her smell, the times they had spent together and anything he could to relate to Sakura.
He started to think that he could probably cope with being a father. "This is the beginning of reviving the Uchiha clan. Maybe I should, for when we're older, get Sakura to marry me."
At the same time Sakura and Inner Sakura were having an argument. Yet Again. Sakura started thinking about whether Sasuke would want the baby or not, because he didn't seemed bothered at all about the baby while she was scared, nervous and excited about it.
She had noticed one thing about Sasuke since that night. He started to talk a lot more than he usually would before he defeated his brother and Orochimaru. She let that thought slip away from her mind and started to pack her most needed items as she was staying round Ino's for the first time in several years.
She packed her things and took them around Ino's house for the weekend coming.
The weekend soon came and everyone kept pestering Sakura. Behind the scenes, Sasuke's fan girls and Sakura's fan boys were so disappointed that they thought it may not be worth it any more, but they would never be able to give up all hope.
However round Ino's, Ino had invited everyone round to spend time together as a group. They had gone off in groups of their own anyway. Ino and Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, Neji and Ten-Ten, Sasuke and Sakura, the others who had come and then the senseis.
She had even invited the senseis, for some weird reason. It was basically a party. Everyone had gone by lunch to do their own thing. Sakura and Ino were left in the house and Ino asked Sakura something that hadn't really been thought about, "So Sakura, what are you going to call the baby?"
"I don't know Ino. Me and Sasuke have never really spoken about it yet. We haven't had a chance." Sakura said concentrating on something else. "Ok I get that, but why did your mum want you to stay round here?" Ino asked just curious.
"She sent me here because round my place their having a big family reunion and my parents thought it would be a bad idea to let, the rest of my family see me pregnant for some reason. I think it's because most people in my family would think I'm too young and irresponsible" Sakura replied as if it were second-nature.
BOOM!!!! It was an explosion from around the area of the Haruno's residence. "WHAT THE HELL, WAS THAT?!!" Ino nearly screamed. Just as Sakura opened her mouth, someone burst though the door and told Sakura to go to her place immediately. Sakura got there and couldn't believe her eyes. Everything was in ashes and her ENTIRE family was dead. No-one was alive any more. She fell to her knees and burst into tears. The jounins of the village kept everyone as far away as possible and only let her friends past.
The girls started to cry as well and cried in the boys chests. Sasuke knelt beside Sakura and she cried and cried into his chest, but he didn't care, not any more.
After the girls had no more tears left in them they tried to help Sakura move her stuff from Ino's to Sasuke's. The move went without saying really after what had happened as her only option left was to move in with Sasuke.
At Sasuke's while they were trying to get Sakura settled and relaxed Sasuke kept thinking about the events of the day. "I can't believe someone would sink so low to kill Sakura's entire family. I never wanted anyone else to loose their family like me. I would have done anything to stop this from happening to Sakura of all people. Thank god she wasn't in the house when it happened though." Feeling angry build up in his chest at the mere thought of what had happened to Sakura let alone while she was pregnant as well.
They managed to get everything ready and set up and everyone left. With everything that happened it had taken until half nine to sort it all out. Sasuke and Sakura sorted themselves out for bed and Sakura just couldn't get to sleep. So she decided to see if she could sleep with Sasuke. Sasuke was about to fall asleep when he heard Sakura knocking at the door.
"Come in Sakura." Sasuke said facing her. She came in and sat on the bed. "S-Sasuke, c-can I s-stay with y-you tonight please?" Sakura asked looking at the floor, stroking the bed. Without saying anything he just pulled the covers and moved over to make room for her. Taking this as a sign he said, Yes, she got in, laid down and pulled the covers up.
All she said was "Thanks, Sasuke," and kissed him on the cheek. Once they were both comfortable Sasuke put his arm over Sakura's waist to show he would be there throughout the night and each said goodnight and fell into a deep sleep.
Please review. I hope you like it.
Thank you :D
