Wow, you all reviewed fast for the last chapter. Aren't you all glad Sakura is now pregnant too? (I'm sure you are, you've all been bothering me to write about her being pregnant! LOL.) Anyways, that you for the reviews. Sorry the chapters are a bit short. They look so long on Word Perfect...but I guess they're not that long. Sorry again, and enjoy the chapter!
-Chapter Eleven-
"Victory!" the three women cheered, punching the air with their fists. Frustrated, the three guys crossed their arms at the same time and glared at the table. The could never win and they knew this. Everyone knew this.
Fugaku, who no longer had to use his crutches, got up and walked out of the room. Itachi and Sasuke remained seating, trying their hardest to tolerate the giggling coming from the women across the table. After settling down a bit, Hinata rubbed her stomach. Without thinking, Sakura did the same.
"I'm hungry," the two said at the same time. They exchanged glances quickly before staring at their mother. "I want ice cream." Once again, they had spoke at the same time. Hinata and Sakura threw each other a nasty look. "Would you mind getting me some, mom?"
Hinata scooted her chair out and stood up. "Stop copying me!" she shrieked, pointing an accusing finger at her best friend.
Sakura just sat there, taking it all in. She wasn't going to let her temper get the best of her. Hinata stomped over to the refrigerator, deciding she would get some ice cream for herself instead of making Mikoto get it. Hinata could practically hear Sakura's stomach growl from across the room. Feeling a tad bit sorry for her, Hinata set the bowl of ice cream down in front of Sakura then smiled warmly before going back and getting some for herself.
Sakura had finally built up enough courage to tell him. She was definitely stalling though. "Here, let me get you a snack," she mumbled, getting up from her seat at the table and finding a tomato. Sasuke tapped his fingers on the table, smiling at his wife's back.
"Thank you," he said when she sat the plate of sliced tomatoes down in front of him. He slowly ate the tomato while watching Sakura blush and fidget. "Are you okay?"
"I have something important to tell you," she stated loudly. He waited for her to say what she needed to. "I-" She glanced at him then sighed. "I like your hair." Sasuke raised an eyebrow and continued to eat, wondering why she considered that important. After a while, she announced, "That wasn't what I needed to tell you. Sasuke, I'm two months pregnant."
"Oh, is that it?" he murmured in a dull tone. He hadn't taken the time to let the information sink into his brain yet. And when it did, his eyes widened and he almost choked on his food. "Wait, what? You're-you're-"
"I'm pregnant," she said very slowly, wondering why he was acting so strangely.
"How did-" was all he got out before he fell off the chair, landing on the floor with a thump. Sakura reached over and took a slice of tomato from his plate then shoved it into her mouth. After a couple of minutes, she peeked down at her husband which seemed to have fainted.
A knock came from the front door and Sakura called for the person to come in. Hinata burst into the house and made her way to the kitchen.
When her eyes examined the scene, she quirked an eyebrow. "Is he sleeping?" Sakura shook her head and sighed.
"No, I just told him the news." A devilish grin made its way onto Hinata's face. She drew her foot back but Sakura threw her the nastiest glare.
"Don't you dare kick him, Hinata." The woman rolled her eyes and sat down beside Sakura, deciding that kicking her brother-in-law would only anger the other woman in the room. Just after Hinata sat down, Sakura got up and went to kneel beside her husband.
Struggling quite a bit, Sakura lifted him into her arms cautiously and took him into the living room. Hinata followed and sat down in a chair while Sakura hovered over Sasuke which was on the couch.
He stirred then opened his eyes. His vision was a bit blurry, but he could make out the colors of pink and green. He knew it was his wife hovering over him. He tried to remember what had happened a few seconds ago. Her voice rang in his ears.
"I'm pregnant..."
He bolted up from where he was lying down and nearly bumped into the now normal sized forehead of his wife. It's good her reflex actions were fast and she was able to dodge his forehead.
His eyes looked around the room, finding that he was in the living room and Hinata was there. He decided that he had only been dreaming about the confession since Hinata had not been there before and he was not in the kitchen. He decided that he had merely fallen asleep on the couch. He sighed, rubbed the back of his head, then grinned cheesily.
"I had the weirdest dream." Sakura almost started crying. Telling him once was bad enough, but telling him twice? Fortunately, Hinata was there to say something.
"Sasuke, it's wasn't a dream. Sakura is two months pregnant with your child. How hard is that to understand? How many times are you going to make her tell you before you believe her?" Those pearl-colored eyes were practically shooting daggers at the man. He only rubbed the back of his head a bit more, trying to process all of the information.
He finally, after about five minutes, started hugging Sakura. "I can't believe it. I'm going to be a father!" Oddly enough, he started laughing. Sakura was now scared to death because a laughing freak was hugging her. Hinata felt bad for Sakura, but not enough to save her.
