Since everyone reviewed so quickly for the last chapter, I'm going to put this up sooner than I intended to. It's not a very interesting chaoter, but I know you'll all be happy about the next chapter. In the next one you'll find out if Sakura is pregnant or not, which is basically what everyone has been so impatient about. So, read and review quickly to find out!


-Chapter Nine-

"My leg is going numb," Itachi muttered as Hinata shifted her position as she sat on his lap. If the woman located on his lap wasn't pregnant she would have felt offended, but the baby added extra weight and he had never complained about it before.

"Mine is too," Sasuke grumbled. Sakura jabbed her elbow into his stomach as payback. Everyone looked at the two eldest people in the room.

"So is mine," Mikoto sighed. Fugaku grinned as he sat on his wife's lap. The four younger Uchiha's raised their eyebrows. Since Mikoto couldn't sit on Fugaku's lap because of his broken leg, he had to sit on her lap.

It had been five days since the blizzard and Mikoto and Fugaku along with Sakura and Sasuke were going to go back to their own homes later. All of them had a great time together even though Sakura and Hinata had sometimes had random outbursts of anger and started yelling about something. Everyone was used to Sakura being that way since she was like that since she was younger, but none of them were used to Hinata having anger outbursts yet.

"I'm going to miss you all," Hinata sighed, placing a hand on the shoulder of Sakura and a hand on the shoulder of her father. "Even though I'll miss you all, I've missed my alone time with my husband. Things can finally be back to the way they used to be."

Sakura looked sad. "I have to go back to work at the hospital tomorrow." Her eyes drifted to look at Mikoto and Hinata. "I'll miss spending time with you two almost everyday." Her green eyes glanced back at Sasuke. "Can we get married again so that I can take another couple of months off of work?"

He reached up and scratched the back of his head. Sakura threw him a joking smile before looking back over at Hinata. "Thank you so much for everything." She nodded at the woman and Itachi also.


"Which room do you think would be the best for the baby to live in?" Itachi sighed after shrugging. "I'm thinking the guest room beside outs would be the best room for the baby to live in. It's already a neutral color, so we wouldn't have to paint it so that the baby would like it. We could just put up a nice border with teddy bears on it."

"I agree." The two examined the room thoroughly, imagining where everything would go when they make the room into a nursery. The man wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and grinned. "Planning a room for the baby is kind of fun, isn't it?"

Pearl met onyx and Hinata also grinned. "Yes, it is. I can't wait to start working on the room." There was a moment of silence. "You know what will be even more fun?"

"What?"

"Thinking of a name for the baby." Hinata started giggling after placing a hand on her slightly rounded stomach. The weight was already making her back and feet ache, so she wasn't looking forward to having more weight added onto her front side.

"First we'll have to find out what it's going to be though," Itachi stated, placing a finger on his chin. "When are you going to get that taken care of?"

"I'm going to have Sakura do an ultra-sound in about two months and find out." The woman went over to the bed and sat down on the edge, needing to get off of her swollen feet.


Sakura was feeling sick again. It was her first day back at work and everything seemed hectic. The woman sat down on a chair behind the work counter and perched her elbow up on the counter. She rested her head on her hand and closed her eyes for a second, feeling sleepy.

An alarm went off and her eyes snapped open. "Code blue! We have a code blue in room 304!" (A/N: "Code blue" is the code they use at hospitals to indicate an adult medical emergency.) The nurse got up in alarm and rushed to the room 304. The person's heart monitor was a flat line. "Sakura, we need your assistance! Quickly, we have to save him!"

Her breath got caught in her throat when she realized who was lying on that hospital bed. That mess of blond hair was so familiar. She wanted him to open those sparkling blue eyes that always portrayed confidence and courage. A long time ago they had been teammates and friends.

"Na-Naruto?" she stuttered in utter disbelief. A wave of sickness hit her.

"Sakura!" the nurse cried again. "We need your assistance!" Another alarm down the hallway started going off.

"Code blue!" someone called. "Code blue in room 309!" Two more alarms started sounding. Sakura held her stomach and backed out of the room. The woman was about to hurl. The ringing of the alarms and the chaos made her dizzy. She turned to run down the hallway, to get to the bathroom, but she ended up slamming into another nurse that was hurrying towards one of the rooms. Everyone seemed to be calling for her, needing her assistance.

Sakura became so overwhelmed that she let out a scream. Her breathing was heavy and her feet felt as if they weighed more than a brick. When she broke out into a run down the hallway, she became so dizzy that she fell over.

"Sakura!" one of the nurses said urgently, shaking the sleeping woman's shoulders. The pink-haired kunoichi awoke with a jolt. Blinking, she glanced up and down the hallway, wondering why no alarms were going off. "Sakura, you were having a bad dream. You started screaming in your sleep."

"A dream?" she echoed. Once the words sunk deep enough inter her mind that she fully understood, the woman sighed in relief.

"You should go home." Swallowing hard, Sakura nodded and stood up. The dream had freaked her out. It wasn't often that there was a code blue in the hospital, and when there was, everyone was hurrying around and screaming for more nurses to help.

The woman went to the staff locker room and grabbed her winter coat out of her locker. She hadn't even finished her first day back at work. Feeling horrible about it, Sakura slowly walked out of the building. Shivering, she trudged through the snow on the ground. Before long, she heard someone sigh from behind her. Turning slightly, she saw Kurenai Hatake rubbing her forehead in exhaustion.

Kurenai had gotten married to Sakura's sensei a couple years ago. He had been such a loner, then one day, Kurenai caught his eye. He had, of course, seen her before, but something had been different that day. She and Kakashi had dated for a year before getting married. The two soon after produced a child named Isamu Hatake, which was now seven.

"Tough day at work?" Sakura mumbled to the black-haired woman. Kurenai nodded then picked up her pace a bit so that she and Sakura were walking side-by-side.

"We had a code violet on my floor today," Kurenai grumbled. "One of the patient's has a mental problem. They thought their nurse was trying to kill them so they tackled the nurse. We had to call security."

"That's not good." The two women talked a bit more as they walked towards their homes.
