Precap: "Sakura…I'm….sorry to say. We…we….couldn't save y-your baby…" Kurenai said, trying to hold back the tears, but they formed inside of her ember eyes.
"Come on, Gaara. Go and apologize...you just killed her baby..." Gaara told himself, but stopped himself from opening the door. "I can't...Damn it! I'm such an idiot..."
Gaara breathed in deeply before opening the door to Sakura's room. Only a few seconds later, the brick red headed male opened the door...
Gaara entered into the large hospital room. The redhead grunted a bit as he looked at the size of the room and compared it to the size of his own room. "What? This girl has a bigger room than me!" He rolled his teal eyes and walked towards Sakura.
He had never seen a girl or anyone cry as much as she was. Was it even possible to cry that much, nonstop? Gaara shook his head and decided not to even answer the question. He walked closer to the mother who had just experienced a miscarriage. The redhead put his hand on her shoulder to grab her attention, finally the girl turned to look at him. Gaara was blown away at her physical features, her face was like a goddess, a mix of divine and beauty. He didn't know what got him attracted to her whether it was her long and wavy pink hair that were like waves of pink flowing down her head. Or, her fine, blemish-free face that at the moment was covered in tears.
"W-what...do y-you w-want?" She asked, harshly. Normally, Gaara would have said something, but he understood why the girl was speaking so rude and everything. If this was how she was speaking now, wait till she figured out who killed her child.
"I...I...I." Gaara spoke, but was in loss of words. How was he supposed to tell her that it was because of him that her baby died. If he hadn't been so reckless in driving, he wouldn't have killed her baby. Though, Gaara had no idea what the hell happened. If it caused someone to lose their unborn child, it had to be that bad.
"Stop stuttering and speak clearly!" She responded to, after a moment of awkward silence, Sakura sighed. "I'm sorry..it's just...my baby...my baby DIED! Because of...I don't know how. All I remember is I was coming home from my boyfriend's house and..."
Gaara sighed and nodded. "I'm sorry...for everything."
"I didn't mean to drop my luggage on you. I'm sorry for being so harsh and..." The rosette spoke, her voice was like hymns from angels going into Gaara's ears. "No, I'm sorry for everything. I...I am the reason your baby died. I don't know what happened to be honest, but all I know is I was drunk driving and..." Before Gaara could say more, the rosette's face didn't look as innocent as it did. Her eyes grew wide, her eyebrows turned her into a glare.
"You...you! GET OUT OF HERE! GET OUT!" She exclaimed, not wanting to hear anymore. Gaara tried to explain, but Sakura got out of her bed and picked up materials there on the table such as magazines, remote control to the TV, and other random things. She began throwing them at Gaara, who ran out the door.
Gaara put his back against the door as he heard her screams, the crying, the sadness was coming out of the room and flooding inside of him. It would be a matter of time till the patients and doctors had to evacuate due to a flood from the girl's room. Gaara limped back to his own room and sat down, he felt so guilty.
"How...how can I make up for my stupid act? I can give her anything, anything she asks for. Money!" The redhead exclaimed. "I'll give her money."
On the other hand, Sakura was throwing the pillow on the floor and creating a fit. The yelling and scream was able to heard all the way from the floor under and above the floor Sakura was on. Doctor Tsunade, who had been on the floor under speaking with Kurenai, both heard the stomping and the commotion.
"What is that?" The blonde elderly said as the gynecologist shrugged. Both woman ran up the stairs to wherever they could hear the noise coming from. The noise led them to the source, Sakura's room. Tsunade bit her lip, she could feel the tears beginning to come out.
"Poor Sakura.." Tsunade opened the door to the rosette. The rosette was sitting in a corner with her legs close to her body and rocking. Her face was so red, Sakura didn't know what to say. Was there anything to say? Her baby...Sasuke's baby...Sasuke...Sasuke was going to be so crushed when he figured out. His father, his father's last wish was to see the baby they gave birth too. Now with Sakura's miscarriage, they'd never be able to show the baby. Not only that, Sasuke would be crushed if he learned about the miscarriage and Sasuke had a terrible temper and was extremely sensitive, he did many things in haste when upset.
A flashback hit Sakura's mind.
Flashback -
Sakura had entered her boyfriend, Sasuke's house with a file. Sasuke walked towards his beautiful girlfriend, giving her a kiss on the cheek. The handsome Uchiha looked at the smiling rosette, who wouldn't stop smiling, it creeped him out a bit. "Why are you so happy?"
"I'm pregnant, damn it!" Sakura cried out as Sasuke's eyes grew wide. He grinned and picked up his pregnant girlfriend. He pressed his lip onto her lips with so much love and passion in the kiss. "Baby, I'm so happy! I'm going to be...a Dad!"
"We have to tell everyone!" Sasuke exclaimed. "We have to tell Dad! He continuously claims he has nothing to live for. But, now he does! Fugaku Uchiha is going to be a grandfather! Oh my god, he's going to be so happy!"
Sasuke leaned down towards Sakura's stomach and kissed it. "Hey, you in there. I don't know whether you are a boy or a girl, but guess what? In nine months, you will be meeting me. Face to face, with your daddy, Sasuke Uchiha. So stay tight in there! These nine months are going to breeze by, kiddo!"
Sakura embraced Sasuke tightly, she was so happy and so was Sasuke. No words could express their happiness. This was just another day awaited other than the marriage of Sakura and Sasuke.
Sasuke kissed Sakura on the cheek again and grinned towards her. "Sakura, keep this baby safe. You wouldn't want it to get hurt. It's our love right here. Like how our love stays strong...this baby will too..."
Sakura looked at her stomach, then back at Sasuke. "Of course, baby. I promise, I will make sure nothing hurts this baby."
End of Flashback
Sakura muttered the same words she said. "I promise, I will make sure nothing hurts this baby..." Tsunade walked to Sakura, who didn't notice her. She was so much in her thoughts, the doctor bent down to become face to face with the rosette.
"Sakura, are you okay?" She asked. Sakura looked at Tsunade and tears erupted from her eyes, like lava from a volcano. The pink haired beauty embraced Tsunade tightly. Tsunade put her arms around Sakura as well. The two shared a hug till Tsunade stood up. "Sakura, honey...would you like me to stay up here with your?"
Sakura shook her head. "No...I want to be alone."
"Would you like us to call your husband?" Kurenai asked, Sakura's eyes grew wide, but the girl shook her head. "Please do not..."
"You know you will have to tell him sometime..." Tsunade added as Sakura nodded. "I know, but right now...I want to be alone." Tsunade pressed her lips together and nodded. Tsunade pecked Sakura on the forehead before leaving with Kurenai.
"It's a terrible thing that happened to her.." Tsunade commented. "It really is." Kurenai said, agreeing with Tsunade's.
After Tsunade and Kurenai left, Gaara slipped back into the room, being extremely vigilant of anyone around him. He entered the room and approached Sakura. "Listen...uh..." Before Gaara could continue, Sakura looked up at the redhead and gave him a tight slap across the face.
"No! YOU LISTEN TO ME! I told you to GET OUT! When I said GET OUT! I meant...GET OUT! NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" She screamed, Gaara shook his head.
"Please! Listen to me...I have a way to make it up for you!" Gaara said, hoping that would calm Sakura down. Though it didn't work, Sakura glared at him again.
"You couldn't possibly give me my DEAD baby back that you KILLED!" Sakura reminded as Gaara nodded. "I know. But, what if I gave you money. However much money you want...I'll pay for it! A hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand?"
Sakura gave Gaara a crooked look. "You think that money will pay off what you did. Thanks to you...I broke a promise I made to my boyfriend. Thanks to you my BABY died! The symbol of the love between my boyfriend and I..."
"How about if I paid for adoption fees?" Gaara asked, not realizing he is making himself look like someone who doesn't care at all. Everything in Gaara's world was money and if money was the way out, he'd use it. He thought everyone was like him, they all thought about money. "Adoption fees are expensive, I don't know how much you and your husband make, but I'm sur-."
Sakura gave him a cold glare. "How dare you mention adoption? I don't have anything against it...but, just...GET OUT! GET OUT! You think my boyfriend won't love me unless I have a child! NO! GET OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT!"
Gaara immediately nodded and ran out of the room. He went back to his room and thought of more options. An hour flung by, Sakura was still in her crying, she refused to eat anything that was given to her, take the medicine prescribed to her, and she stood in the same spot where she was for the last hour. Gaara laid in his bed, accidentally falling asleep when trying to think of ideas. Finally, one hit him, though he wasn't sure of it. It was the best way to make up for it.
The redhead, once again, left his room and walked to Sakura's room. "Listen, I have a plan. But, hear me out on this one. I can't buy another child because that's not in my hands. I'm sorry for what I did, I tremendously sorry for killing your and your boyfriend's child. I...I'm an idiot. I deserve all the crap you give me, but I have one way to make it up to you..."
Sakura didn't reply, but she gave him a look which meant she was listening.
"Hear me out...what if I..." Gaara spoke in stutters, it was so hard for him to say. Finally, he said it, without any stutters or anything, but boldly and said with true meaning.
"I gave you a child by...sleeping with you..."
