Ok so this is MAJOR spoilers warning. This is probably one of the few, if there are anymore, fanfic that follow the story closely. I read the Manga so if you don't and don't want parts ruined for you leave now please. And don't get mad at me. This has been stuck in my head and I really want to write it.
Itachi may seem out of character but to me he isn't, just ask my friends….lol. You'll understand at some point, I think...lol.

Chapter 5

Activity among the camp erupted as these words echoed through it. Kakashi and Yamato jumped to their feet as Sakura called for assistance. They quickly came over and helped Amaterasu to lie on the ground beside the fire. Hinata had quickly created a bed for which she could lay on with blankets from around the camp.

"Hinata that's mine!" Kiba shouted as she grabbed his blanket. She ignored him though she blushed greatly and placed it under Rasu's head. Naruto was staring at her wide-eyed.

"Wh-what's going to happen now?" He asked.

"What do you think baka? That baby is going to be born."

"Bu-but how? Where's it coming from?" Naruto said as he paled a bit. Kiba paled as he thought about it for a moment.

"Eww gross. How can that be…?" Suddenly two fists smashed into both of their heads sending them flying back into Sai.

"Bakas! Shut up!" Sakura growled. The three teens detangled themselves from each other and stood up on rocky legs. "I have something special I want you to do. Go back to that open field we passed through three miles back. I need you to get me thirteen seven petal yellow-green flowers. Got that?" The three nodded their heads quickly but didn't move. "GO!" They paled and scattered fast.

Sakura turned back to Rasu who was looking up at her with brows furrowed.

"What do you need flowers for?" Hinata asked softly.

"To get rid of three tin heads while we do this." Sakura mumbled. Hinata made a small O with her mouth and then covered it with her hand as she giggled. Sakura looked at the remaining men. "Shino I need hot water and some rags and a blanket, a spare one if we have it." The silent ninja seemed to stare at her from behind his dark glasses before moving away. "Sasuke." When no answer came they looked over to where he had been standing last. He was looking down at Amaterasu with wide eyes.

"It's his isn't it? That baby is Itachi's child." She gazed back at him and clutched at his stomach once more. She breathed through the pain of her contraction. Sakura checked on her.

"You have dilated 8 centimeters." Sakura said. "The baby will be coming soon." Sasuke backed away from them until his back hit the tree.

"I'm sorry." He said again. He slowly slid down until he was seated on the ground. "I didn't want it to be like this."

"Sasuke stop it." Amaterasu said as she panted through another contraction. He silenced himself and leaned his head in his hands. She groaned as another contraction took her. "My baby."

"It's time." Sakura said.

…

Amaterasu cradled her newborn son against her chest as she stared down at him with tears in her eyes.

"He's so beautiful Itachi, your son. You have a son." She whispered. Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she kissed his brow.

"D-did you say Itachi?" Sakura asked. She looked at her.

"Yes. Why?" Came Amaterasu's quiet reply.

"That means… Then Sasuke-kun…" Sakura quieted and looked away. Amaterasu glanced down at her baby again and then up when she felt someone move up close.

"Can I see my nephew?" Sasuke asked softly. She hesitated for a moment and it was enough.

"Never mind sorry." He turned away.

"Sasuke come here." He turned back and slowly kneeled down beside her. She stared at him for a moment before holding her son out to him. Sasuke's eyes widened.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"He's your nephew. Don't you want to hold him?" He shook his head no rapidly.

"I'm fine." He looked down at the little child. It was clear the babe was an Uchiha. Black hair, pale skin, and dark eyes. He was for sure Itachi's child though. He bore the lines under his eyes. The same birthmark Itachi had. He little babe looked up at him strangely and Sasuke felt a pang in his heart. He had left this child, his nephew fatherless. And why, for some stupid plot of revenge? He was no better then what he had thought of Itachi for all of these years. His heart clenched again. If only he had known. If only he had known everything. He could have stood by his brother's side all these years, and now… Sasuke closed his eyes tight, trying to push back the tears that clogged his throat, but at the feel of a hand on his shoulder he looked up to see Amaterasu looking back at him with tears in her eyes.

"No Sasuke." She whispered softly. "Don't think about it. It will just make you feel worse." Sasuke felt a tear slid down his face. This woman, his brother's lover, the mother of his nephew, his brother's child, he didn't understand her. She looked at him like that of a sister to a little brother, not like a woman staring onto the face of her loves killer.

"Why?" Sasuke said hoarsely. "Why don't you hate me?"

"Because," She said softly as tears started sliding down her cheeks as well. "I know and understand why it had to be this way. I can't hate you for this turning out the way Itachi wanted it Sasuke. No matter how much it hurts, I can't." Sasuke finally let the tears pour out and he bowed his head. Rasu reached out her hand and gently pulled him until his head rested in her shoulder. She lifted he babe closer as Sasuke wrapped his arms around her waist. She rested her own head against his shoulder and the two cried their grief while the other's watched confused around them.
