Wake Up

Moans…

Groans…

Moans…

Groans…

That's all I could hear in this darkened place. It was the only thing I could hear so I followed. I didn't know what I would find but I could see a small light becoming bigger and bigger the more I walked.

"Sasuke…" the voice groaned.

When I came to see was what I was trying to with hold for so long. It was my worst nightmare. It was me in Sasuke plain as day having sex. My eyes narrowed at the scene as I closed my eyes hoping I would soon awaken from this nightmare.

"H-Hinata?!" the voice said unsure and in disbelief. The voice was too familiar and I hoped it wasn't him. I opened an eye slightly.

"Naruto," I whispered knowing even if I yelled he wouldn't have heard me. I could see he was choking on words as tears lingered in his eyes. He wiped them away quickly as he started to run. I could feel my heart stop and my breath taking a back as my feet only stood where they were. As the image of Sasuke and me started to disappear, so did Naruto. All I could see in my narrow vision of tears was Naruto moving further and further away. My feet were gone and so were my voice all I could do was watch him slip away from my vision and out of my heart. I fell to my knees as I started to sob. He was gone.

-

My eyes shot open. My breathing was heavy. My face was sweating. I hadn't noticed my surrounding yet, but I searched for Naruto.

"Naruto!" I yelled, repeatedly.

"What's wrong?" the nurse ran by almost falling.

"Where's Naruto?!" I yelled almost ready to cry. My hands started to shake as I became more intense.

"Hinata, calm down; you shouldn't stress…it's bad for the baby."

The baby? Where was I? I hadn't even thought that far.

I looked around at the IV in my right arm and the wrap bandages around my left. My left leg was lifted in the air. I couldn't remember what had happened. I placed over my head trying to concentrate. I could feel the stitches over my right eyebrow. I only exhaled as I tried to gather my thoughts.

"W-What happened?"

"You were hit by 2 cars," a woman said walking in with blonde hair, brown eyes, a diamond tattoo on her forehead looking at a clipboard, with my chart on it I guess.

"You're lucky; Naruto was there because he saved you and that child because more of the collision was taken by him. I could feel my eyes starting to water. I wiped them away quickly.

"Where is he? Is he alright? How's the baby?" I asked choking on every word tears running down my eyes.

"It's fine, lucky. You 3 are lucky to be alive, but you can't be stressed. When the two cars collided with Naruto in the middle; you fell backwards with your leg stuck. It was crushed, breaking; turning you on your impact you protected your back and your baby." She said still looking at the chart. I was becoming impatient because she wasn't telling me anything about Naruto.

" Naruto is still a missing factor in your explanation," I said a little agitated.

She looked at me through narrow eyes, but still sympathetic. I couldn't help but think of the worst.

I started to shake, uncontrollably.

"Hinata, calm down," she said rushing towards me as the machine started to show my heart beat racing. I started to hyperventilate. I quickly caught my breathe and held it in until I exhaled it slowly, to catch my composure.

"Is he dead?"

"No," she said quickly.

"T-Then what?" I started to cry once again, "w-where's N-Naruto?"

"Hinata," it was Neji.

"Neji?" I felt a little better now that somebody was here that I knew.

He came in running pass the blonde and black haired women hugging me tightly. I pain was intense but I really didn't mind because I really needed it. I really needed something real to help me understand what was going on right now and maybe tell me it wasn't real. My tears still fell. When Neji released; he only looked at me with sympathy in his eyes.

"You know?" he asked.

I was speechless for I had no idea what he was talking about.

"Please tell me what happened to Naruto; it will help me be less stressed," I said hands intertwined with puppy dog eyes.

The blonde woman rolled her eyes.

"He was hit pretty hard. Both his legs were crushed and suffered massive head trauma…"

If she knew how much I hated when doctors went around the bush…

"He hasn't woken up. He's in a coma, but he is stable. The chart shows that there is brain activity, but we have no clue when he will wake up…" she trailed off.

"You're father was here this morning. I told him you'll have to be here for a couple of days because we need to make sure the baby is okay and you need to start weekly checkups. You need to walk with crutches for a few weeks and the bandage on your arm should come off in a few days. Just remember to not be around drama and stress…at all." She said seriously.

(A week later)

I tried to stay away from drama, but I had to go back to school. I had to do something to get my mind off of Naruto. After school, I went with Shikamaru to the hill where we would watch clouds. I lay on Shikamaru's lap watching the clouds. The sky was clear as small white deformed looking clouds slowly floated by. I enjoyed the moment with Shikamaru. I slumped up onto his chest and snuggled my head deeper. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I couldn't help but cry. I was enjoying a moment with Shikamaru while Naruto was in a coma. I pushed away from Shikamaru and he looked at me surprised as I wiped away the tears, quickly. He got up and grabbed me embracing me in a hug.

"It's alright, don't cry," he said caressing my back. I could feel comforted by him and I hated it. I hit him, continuously as he only stared at me, bewildered.

"S-Shikamaru…" I said; ready to break down as I fell to my knees as the crutch fell with me. I started to shake once again.

"Hina, what's wrong?" he said bending on his knees, grabbing my shaking hands looking at me with concern in his eyes.

I only looked at him through teary eyes.

"I should be with Naruto, Shikamaru, and I'm here with you…" I trailed off looking at my hands in his. He only looked at me.

"My boyfriend's in a coma, Shikamaru. What am I supposed to do?"

"Hina," he said hugging me once again. I hated that he did this because I felt so wrong because I really appreciated. He separated from me with his hands on my shoulders, gripping them gently. He wiped away the tears on my face, kissing my forehead, sweetly.

"Don't worry he's going to wake up to see his baby come into this world."

I only looked at my hands as I played with my fingers. My guilty conscience started to tell me that I needed to tell him; I needed to tell somebody.

"Can we please see Naruto?" I said after a long intense silence.

"Sure," he said with a slight smile.

-

At the hospital, Naruto looked the exact same way he did yesterday nothing had changed. I always teared up when I saw him. I had to stop crying all the time it was embarrassing.

Both of Naruto's legs were propped up as the machine showed his heart rate at a steady pace. They had taken him off the life support machine a few days ago but still kept the two tubes in his nose to control his breathing. I was a little hopeful because his color seemed to be returning the more and more I came.

I sat in the chair next to the bed as Shikamaru only watched from the doorway to make sure I didn't fall with my crutches.

I only talked to Naruto about the encouraging things and positives because I knew he could hear me. I never talked about the baby because I knew if I did and that was what caused him to wake up and it ended up not being his…

"Hinata, can I talk to you?" the fear was apparent on my face. I grabbed my crutches and walked towards the door. Shikamaru looked concern at me but through narrow eyes at the certain interest to talk to me. I nodded at him to tell him I would be alright. I grabbed my shoulders tightly, glaring at the individual in front of me.

"I'll get you some tea," he said kissing my cheek…and I knew I would need after this conversation. He watched as Shikamaru walked down the hall before he turned towards me with that famous death glare. An intense silence pandered in the hall of the hospital as I waited for him to speak.

"Is it true?" he said intensely staring at me with no sensitivity in his eyes.

I didn't really know what he was talking about, but I answered, "Obviously, if Naruto's still in the bed. I think you would have visited by now, any—"

"Hinata, do not play dumb with me?" he said with more seriousness.

I only looked at him wide eyed as I could feel my stomach turning.

"Are you pregnant?" he said exhaling a breath.

I knew the rumor was going around, but…I didn't think nobody noticed at least… not yet.

"How long?"

"1 month and a week and some days," I could feel the tension in the room increase as, I said the words, the wind in Sasuke lungs were punched out.

"S-Sooo…?"

"I know you're not dumb…" he got angry by my comment.

"I'm sorry, but I don't care about you and Naruto's business," he said rudely, but he did have a point.

"Oh…" I caught on to what he was implying and what he was asking.

"I don't know…" I said sadly. He only looked at me through narrow eyes.

"…." I didn't know much about Sasuke but a loss for words wasn't one of the things I heard.

"It's a 50% chance for it to be either yours or Naruto's and I'm really hoping that it's Naruto because I can't stand looking at myself in the mirror knowing what I did."

I saw a grin rise on his face, "You're the first." He said proudly.

I slapped him.

It was on purpose and I didn't really mean to it just happened. I could see that my fingernail had made sure he would remember it for a while. It was a long red scar across his cheek.

I only stared in surprise.

"I-I'm s-so sorry," I said my right hand started to wobble as it reached at towards his face. I could myself lose my balance as the crutches slipped.

"You're lucky you're pregnant because I would have let you fall."

I knew he was lying but I only gave him a simper.

"So what am I suppose to do about this? Just wait and see if it's mine or you just excluding me out of the picture," he said almost aggravated.

I didn't know how to answer him because I hadn't figured it out yet.

"Naruto's in a coma, Sasuke, I can't do anything about it and I know he definitely doesn't need to be bombarded with the thoughts of how unfaithful his girlfriend was."

"I'm aware of all this, but that tells me nothing,"

"Well what do you want me to say?" I said aggravated I didn't know what to tell him. I wasn't sure I wanted him near me or the child. I couldn't even look at him without feeling guilty. I couldn't look at him without seeing that dream coming true. Naruto was moving further and further away and I was becoming more and more alone while Sasuke only got what he wanted.

The intense silence seemed to always to seep in the cracks of Sasuke and I's conversation.

I could feel myself start to tremble and the room start to spin.

"Are you alright?" he sounded less cruel.

He caught me before I could collapse. I felt my forehead burning and my stomach turning my inside outwards. When Sasuke lifted me up and ran me towards the nurse's desk. I felt some type of heroicness come out of him.

"She needs help," he said almost concerned, which was good enough for me. I could see him looking down at me with his onyx black eyes and knew his eyes were saying something, but I had to quickly get that out of my mind.

-

"Did she have anything to eat?"

"A cookie,"

"Why isn't she eating?"

"I'm not going to shove it down her throat, besides she thinks she'll get fat and Naruto will be upset at that…" I could hear the sarcasm in his voice when he said that and the 2 huffs in the background. I slowly opened my eyes as I waited for the reprimanding I was about to receive.

"You need to eat," she said plainly, "and to stay away from stress."

"Did you hear that, Sasuke?" Shikamaru said narrowing his eyes. Sasuke only stood on the wall with his eyes close.

"We'll finish our conversation, later," he said winking at me as he left. I knew he was only doing that to make Shikamaru made and I know it did.

I could see he easily recovered because Shikamaru was that type of guy, but when it came to me he was a little more protective.

I grabbed my crutches and walked past Dr. Tsundae. I grabbed Shikamaru's arm and pulled him along.

"Thanks, I will," waving at her. She didn't say anything.

I knew keeping this a secret was something that was hurting me and the baby so I had to tell somebody, but I didn't want Shikamaru to be upset. Shikamaru didn't not like Sasuke, but Sasuke just rubbed him the wrong way.

I stood on top of the hill with Shikamaru by my side. The wide was blowing hard and grey clouds were slowly covering the horizon. Shikamaru only looked up at the sky. As we both saw the sky become angry. I looked at Shikamaru, frightened and embarrassed at what I was about to confess.

"S-Sasuke and I-I had sex and I don't know if the baby was Naruto's…" I said choking trying to hold back the tears, but they fell anyway.

Shikamaru only stared up at the sky becoming greyer and greyer.

"I know," he said plainly.
