8 ½ Months into Pregnancy
^..^
"Kiya~, Sasuke-kun! Come here, come here!" Sakura called from the living room, and Sasuke rose from the garden to go see what she wanted. "It kicked, here, feel!" She put his hand on her stomach and he waiting, nothing. Finally he felt a little bump against his hand and felt a smile creep up. Leaning down, he gave her a quick kiss.
"Won't be long now." He said partly to himself.
"I know their already kicking… I bet that's my little girl, she's going to be a fighter, I can feel it!" Sakura giggled.
"Tch, it's Ryuu, I know for a fact he'll be strong." Sakura scoffed.
"You're so sexist, Uchiha." He smirked as she called him this, and grunted in reply. He rose again and went back out into the garden, where Jinxy sat waiting for him to pet her. He stroked the little cat, and listened to the birds fly about, bringing food to their young. It was early may, and Sakura was now 20. My how time had flown by, he'd been here for more than a year now. Absentmindedly he wondered how old Jinxy was, when he found her she was still small, but then again, who knew? Tsunade might be able to tell him…
"Uh, Sasuke…" He heard Sakura call. "I feel kind of funny!" He quickly got up and ran into the living room where she sat clutching her stomach.
"What's wrong, did something happen?" Panic flooded over him and he was unsure what to do.
"Sasuke, it's time!" His mind ran blank.
"Uh," he glanced at the clock, "9:18?" She glared at him.
"No, time!" He sat there, shocked. "Get me to the fucking hospital!!" She cried, and he lifted her up, flash stepping to the hospital. Finally it set it and he panicked even further.
Bursting through the hospital doors, he flew past the front desk, ignoring the desk attendants cry of protest. He heard Tsunade's voice.
"Alright Mr. Harushi, all you have to do is take two pills a day and, Sasuke?" Tsunade turned away from her patient and saw the Uchiha, a crazed look in his eyes, holding onto Sakura who was panting and contorted in pain. "Oh… Oh! Oh my god, get her a room!" She cried to the nurse next to her, who nodded and quickly got Sakura into a room. "You, Sasuke, outside!"
"Hell no, I'm staying right here!" He countered. Tsunade knew she wasn't going to be able to get him out that easy.
"Get out of here and you can come in when we're done!" Using her awesome strength, she hoisted him out of the room and locked the doors. He yelled at her through the door. "Don't worry, if you were in here you'd be praying to leave!" She called.
Sasuke cringed and paced the hallways. Sakura was in the room screaming like a banshee and what she yelled didn't help him calm down.
"Damn it Sasuke, this is your entire fault you bastard!!!!" She screamed. He could hear her from outside the room. This went on for a long time, her screaming, him pacing, endless thoughts crowding his head.
Fuck she better be okay! What if she doesn't make it? I can't- I won't be able to… fuck what were we thinking?! She's so young! Damn it Sasuke, you fucking idiot! He hit his head against the wall, and slammed his fist down. The room was quiet now, and that worried him more than before. Tsunade opened the door, her mask making it impossible for him to see her expression. She beckoned him in.
The door closed behind him, and Sasuke was sure that this was the most beautiful sight he would ever see. Tears pooled underneath his obsidian eyes, and he took careful steps forward, afraid that maybe if he moved to fast, this beautiful picture would be shattered before him. There, tears already streaming down her face in crystalline droplets, lay Sakura, sound and well.
In her arms were surely the most amazing children in the world. Sasuke never felt much of an affinity towards kids, but now he was positive this outlook was overruled. In a blue blanket, was a little boy, with a black tuff of hair and the brightest green eyes he had ever the pink blanket next to his son, was a little girl, smaller than her brother. She had a full head of gorgeous, light pink hair, and deep black eyes.
Slowly he walked to them, and put his arm around Sakura, who smiled up at him. "What do you think?" She asked. "I don't think we did too badly." She laughed and he nodded dumbly. "They're a little premature, but they're not too tiny. Want to hold them?" He nodded again, and she passed him the two tiny bundles that weighed barely anything. His daughter reached out to him, and his son just stayed still. Reluctantly he handed them back to Sakura.
He had a family now, a son, a daughter… He looked at Sakura who smiled down at the children, his children, their children. A son, a daughter, and a wife… I have a family; I have a reason to be here. And this time no one can take this away from me…
"So what are you going to name them?" Tsunade asked, and Sakura looked up at him.
"Ryuu… Ryuu and Kayako." Sasuke stated, looking down at the children, our children.
"Hm… Dragon Spirit and Night Flower, cute. I think it suits them. Kayako sure looks like her mom." Tsunade commented, watching the way Kayako looked around confused, and curious. Tsunade obviously didn't mean just look. Sasuke had no doubt that she would be just like her mother, but maybe a bit less naïve. And of course Sasuke would never let her even consider falling in love with anyone at such an early age. He also prayed she didn't have a thing for the dark boys, like Sakura herself had. Sasuke would never let his beautiful daughter date any boy like him. "So are you happy, Uchiha?" Sasuke smiled fully, and nodded, not taking his eyes off his family. How good it felt to say that: his family. His.
"Sakura…" She looked up at him, tears caught in both of their eyes. "Thank you…" this time it didn't make Sakura cry from fear, or sorrow. No, this time when Sasuke said it, it was out of love, and she knew it. A tear rolled down her face and he lifted his hand to wipe it away. "Thank you for everything…thank you for the life you've given me."
