Sakura was taken by surprise by his quick question.
"I-I…. h-how…I don't know what your talking about" she stuttered out quickly, turning around and walking into her kitchen.
He followed right behind her, watching as she fiddled nervously around the room.
"Don't deny it, I saw you with him" He said, calmly leaning against her counter.
She turned around, eyes looking directly into his.
"When!?" she was gripping the counter, so tightly it was starting to crack.
He smiled kindly, placing his hands on her upper-arms, trying to calm her.
"Here, let's sit down and I'll tell you everything I know" He stated.
She nodded, letting him lead her into the living room. They sat down on the couch together. Tsugomi started to tell her everything.
Flashback:
He walked through the village silently, looking down at his feet. He'd been thinking about Yuki a lot that day. She was at home, alone, waiting for Sasuke to get home from a weeklong mission. He walked past a row of buildings, hearing people begin to talk.
"All right Sasuke-kun, I'll be back in a minute, don't go anywhere" he heard Sakura's voice come from one of the buildings.
"Hn" Sasuke's famous reaction came after her.
Tsugomi froze mid-step.
Sasuke? Wasn't he supposed to be on a mission? He thought to himself.
Silently he snuck over to the building, peeking into a first-floor window. Sure enough there was Sasuke, sitting on Sakura's couch. Sakura smiled at the Uchiha, kissing him quickly before she exited the building. His eyes widened,
I have to tell Yuki!
He started running towards Yuki's house, only to stop after only a few steps.
I can't tell Yuki, it will kill her, knowing Sasuke is going to have a baby with Sakura too. He thought, looking up at the cloudy sky.
What am I supposed to do now?
End Flashback.
"You wont tell Yuki right? It will kill her, she's my best friend and I know how much she loves Sasuke and, I just don't want her to get hurt knowing Sasuke and I are having a baby, she'd be really upset" Sakura blurted out.
She looked up at Tsugomi for a second,
"Not that she isn't happy about having your baby" she laughed nervously.
Tsugomi froze in his seat,
Yuki said the baby was mine?
He smiled,
"I know what you meant, and don't worry, I wont say anything to her"
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief,
"Thank you"
He nodded once, standing to leave.
"I'll make sure she doesn't find out" and then he was gone.
"So you don't know who's baby it is?" Ume asked.
Ume has been Yuki's friend since they started at the academy. She's become a doctor in the past few years, someone Yuki always went to for her check ups and appointments.
Yuki shook her head,
"I don't know, I was with Sasuke-kun and Tsugomi-kun when I got pregnant" her hands went to her stomach.
Ume shook her head, sitting down next to her friend. She pushed a strand of her long aqua-colored hair behind her ear, her green eyes sympathetic.
"You know, there is a way to tell who's baby it is right now"
Yuki looked up at Ume, eyes questioning.
"Really? How!?" Yuki asked, almost jumping out of her seat.
Ume laughed slightly, shaking her head,
"Easy really, you just need to get a genetics test"
Yuki got quiet,
"A what?"
Ume laughed at her friends little knowledge,
"A genetics test, it's really simple actually, I just have to-" Yuki held up a hand to stop her.
"Don't try to explain, just do it"
Ume laughed and nodded,
"Alright, it may take a while, I have to get consent from Hokage-sa-"
"No!" Yuki yelled.
Ume raised an eyebrow,
"What?"
"Please just, just keep this a secret" Yuki whispered, looking down at her stomach.
Ume smiled,
"Alright then"
She reached behind her, pulling out two sterile gloves,
"Lets get to work"
Some number of hours later~
"The tests will be done in a couple hours, I'll bring them over" Ume smiled, patting Yuki on the stomach gently, "see you little one"
Yuki was alone once again, like always. Loneliness was something she was used to, but with her fluctuating hormones she couldn't stand it. She was sad, mad, and lonely all at once. After a while of contemplating, she stood, leaving her quiet home.
She tapped lightly at Tsugomi's door, hoping for someone to answer quickly, it was starting to get colder out. The door finally opened, she smiled.
"Oh, hello Mr. Hazumi"
Tsugomi's dad stood in the doorway, staring down at the girl in front of his house.
"I-Is Tsugomi-kun here?" She stuttered under his scrutinizing eyes.
He silently opened the door, letting her inside. The warm air hit her instantly.
"He's upstairs," He mumbled, walking from the living room to the kitchen.
"Oh Yuki-chan!" Miya grinned, coming out of the kitchen.
She hugged the younger woman, glancing down at her stomach.
"Tsugomi-kun told me about you and Sasuke-kun, I'm so happy for you, here in a few months you'll have a little buddle of Uchiha baby" Miya babbled on.
"Thanks Okaasan" Yuki mumbled, blushing lightly.
"Well then, Tsugomi is in his room, just go on up" she smiled before heading back into the kitchen.
Yuki walked up the stairs quietly, heading down the long hall until she reached Tsugomi's door. She hesitated then knocked.
"Yeah?" she heard him call.
She opened the door slowly, stepping inside his large bedroom. Tsugomi looked up from his laptop, smiling when he saw who it was.
"Yuki!" he grinned his crooked grin.
He hopped off his bed, wrapping his arms around her body and hugging her to him tightly. She smiled, snuggling into him.
"Miss me?" she laughed.
He pulled her back onto the bed with him, snuggling his nose into the side of her neck.
"I thought he'd never leave, finally some time with you" Tsugomi whispered.
Yuki laughed, brushing hair away from Tsugomi's eyes.
"I have some good news," She whispered.
He looked up, red eyes meeting blue,
"Yeah?"
"I went to see Ume, at the hospital, she gave me a test, to see who's baby it is" she paused.
"Well?" Tsugomi asked, now halfway sitting up.
"I don't know yet, she said that the results would be done in a couple hours, it's only been two" Yuki laughed.
Tsugomi huffed a sigh, lying back down.
"My dad will be so pissed…." He muttered.
She looked at him; his eyes were closed peacefully. He looked like he did when they were younger, when he didn't have to worry as much about things.
Her phone went off in her pocket, breaking the peaceful silence. Tsugomi opened one eye as she pulled it out.
"It's Ume," she mumbled.
Tsugomi shot upward, watching Yuki sit up slowly and open the phone.
"H-hello? Ume?" she asked.
Tsugomi heard Ume talk from the other line; he couldn't understand what she was saying though. Yuki listened to the other girl talk, nodding her head every now and again.
Yuki suddenly froze,
"R-really?" she took a deep breath, her hand shook, "O-ok, and thanks Ume-chan" then she hung up, letting the phone drop to the bed.
"Yuki? Well?" Tsugomi asked, putting an arm around her.
"The baby…is yours," she muttered.
There was a large crash. Tsugomi and Yuki both looked to the doorway of the bedroom. Miya stood in the doorway, her eyes wide; there was a pile of glass at her feet.
"M-mom?" Tsugomi stood up, rushing to the doorway and starting to pick up the mess.
"Miya-okaasan?" Yuki mumbled, looking away.
"Tsugomi-kun, is it true?" She asked, looking down at her son.
He looked away from her, still picking up the mess; he was silent.
"It's true, we're going to have a baby," Yuki answered.
Miya took a deep breath, walking over to the younger woman. She hugged Yuki,
"This is wonderful, oh my son, I'm going to be a grandma!!!"
Yuki grinned, sighing heavily. Tsugomi stood up, holding the broken glass carefully in his hands.
"I'll get the broom"
Miya frowned at her son,
"Tsugomi-kun, aren't you happy?"
Tsugomi turned, looking at his mother and Yuki. His eyes were filled with tears,
"of course I am"
