CHILDREN, TEARS AND COURTROOMS

"Case 165: Divorce Petition by Haruno Sakura and Custody of Uchiha Minori, Daichi, Tadashi, Anna and Kaito!"

"Everyone, sit down immediately! Are we ready to start? ...Alright then." The judge was a tall, big woman with strict small glasses and a strong tightly shut mouth. Her lips were thin and her nose wide and several lines in her face showed that she was quite an old lady, but her eyes glowed with intelligence and determination as she looked around in the courtroom for noise. Her eyes stopped at two perky blonds that talked not very quietly above a pregnant woman's head and a man with a ponytail that was sleeping on a woman's shoulder. And... was that other man painting in that block?

One of the lawyers, a tall woman with long brown hair turned behind and looked at the woman on whose shoulder the man was sleeping and the blond made them all stop in less than two seconds. The judge liked that lady very much; she used to be like that when she was young.

"Are both parties present? Haruno Sakura?"

"Yes, your honor!" The lawyer from before stood up again. She was tall and skinny and had the face of the person who was forced to wear pantsuits and high-heels, but would rather come with a hoodie. But as a lawyer she was probably used to it. Her long hair was up in an elegant ponytail and she was obviously trying too hard for that case. The judge immediately recognized a lawyer that was personally interested in the case.

The woman next to her, Haruno Sakura, needed a doctor. The judge's eyes stopped at the bright pink hair and she wondered if that was her natural hair color. Her face must have been beautiful, but now she was pale and had huge black circles beneath her green eyes. She looked nauseated and avoided to look to her husband's direction. She immediately sympathized with her, but that was irrelevant in the courtroom.

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

"He is present, your honor!" That voice was deep, rich, a natural gift for a lawyer. As he stood up, the judge gave him a smile. He knew that lawyer; she had met him in another trial and she wouldn't forget him. Tall, muscular, with his long hair in a ponytail, he was a nice eyesight for her. Yet the man who sat next to him was even better. She swore that she had never seen such a handsome face and perfect body in her life. His expression was hard to understand, a mixture of confidence and arrogance.

"Both parties ask for full custody of the five underage children. First I call Sakura Haruno's attorney, miss... Kishimoto Tenten!" Tenten stood up again and took her most professional expression and started aggressively.

"My client as the mother knows that her children need her presence in their life constantly. She is the one that has raised them practically on her own, being with them so much that she neglected her career and personal life only to make sure that they are safe and happy. Therefore she will do her best to continue that and there's nothing that is more trustworthy than the love of a mother. On the other hand, mr Uchiha can't say that he can offer something more to his children than the convenience of money..."

"Objection, your honor! She implies that the love of a father is unworthy!" Neji stood up and looked straight at his opponent's eyes. The girl sent him a fired look and the judge let out a chuckle. They also knew each other very well. What was going on in her courtroom that day?

"I implied nothing of the such! But the money can't successfully substitute a parent's presence in the house!"

"Overruled!" Tenten smirked at Neji and he sat bach down. The judge felt that she was playing that game for herself and she had almost forgotten that it was her friend's life at stake.

"The truth is that mr Uchiha's job keeps him away from his house and children many long hours and sometimes even days and weeks! Some of said children are still young and they can't live on their own!"

"But, your honor, we don't claim that the inability of Mrs Haruno to raise her children is due to lack of money!" Neji had let her lead the game for long enough. Defence was not his best card and it was time to start playing for real. Tenten gave him a look as if she was challenging him to a duel.

"Three months ago Mrs Haruno published an article at the newspaper she works in with very disturbing details about her personal affairs. A few weeks later the man who was supposed to be the one she had cheated on her husband with, disproved her publically. Her older children read that inappropriate story about their mother and you can imagine their feelings about it! What kind of mother does that make her?" The woman with the pink hair was now white like paper. Everyone in the audience was holding their breath.

Neji continued without looking at Tenten who was ready to attack him. "And yet we can't understand why she did that! What was she trying to achieve with that action? And can we allow five children to stay with a mentally and emotionally unstable person?"

"Objection, your honor! He claims that my client is insane!"

"Do you have a better explanation for that article?"

"Yes, I do!" Tenten turned and looked right to the judge. She couldn't be more happy that she was a woman. "Your honor, my client's mistake doesn't make her insane or even a bad mother! It was a desperate act from a woman trapped in a loveless marriage! She had suffered her husband's coldness and neglect for so many years and that was her desperate attempt to find out if her husband cared a little for her!"

Neji's jaw dropped. That was her plan? Move the judge's womanly feelings? He wished that the judge was a man. Sasuke next to him had a look as if someone had slapped him. The judge noticed that.

"...Sustained! Mrs Haruno is totally healthy! But that doesn't justify her actions. I would normally give joint custody, but since you don't want that... Full custody of Uchiha Minori, Daichi, Tadashi, Anna and Kaito goes to Uchiha Sasuke. Next Case!"

Sakura stood up and ran out of the courtroom before anyone could stop her. Tenten fell on her chair and hid her face in her hands. Sasuke still couldn't believe it. He was sure that her was going to lose. Some of his friends came to him to congratulate him, but he knew that they were all thinking about Sakura. Naruto didn't even look at him. Shikamaru wasn't sleepy for the first time in his life. Hinata went to Tenten and hugged her.

Neji immediately ran behind Sakura. He knew that she couldn't forgive him, but he had to apologize anyway. He had made her look like an unworthy mother. He saw her enter a ladies' bathroom and stopped. He couldn't get in, so he just stood outside the door.

Half an hour passed. Everybody else left and she was still in the bathroom. Neji couldn't hear anything from inside, so he slowly opened the door making sure that nobody could see him, but what he saw in there made him forget about everything else. Sakura lied on the cold floor, face down and breathing with difficulty.

Tenten walked up and down in the white corridor of the hospital while Neji watched her extremely irritated. She had just implied that he had done something to her and caused her faint.

"I told you a thousand times! I found her passed out on the floor and I called an ambulance!" He shouldn't have called Tenten, but he had no other option. Sasuke had gone to find a new house for his children and he was still very moody after the trial. Hinata was pregnant, Ino and Naruto were too loud and Temari didn't answer her phone, probably angry for all the things he had said about Sakura in the court.

"And you don't feel guilty? Do you remember what have you said about her today? Of course she was upset; She had just lost her children!" Tenten felt guilty herself, because she thought that Sakura had left the building and didn't look after her after the trial.

"You said some nasty things about Sasuke, too!"

"I just said that he is a workaholic!"

"You said that he was cold and uncaring..."

"Oh, is he kind and emotional?"

"Tenten, he is a good father..."

"Ehm..." They both stopped yelling and turned their heads to see the short old doctor that was trying to make them notice him.

"Doctor, how is she?" The poor man took a step back as both Neji and Tenten ran towards him full of concern.

"Mrs Haruno is perfectly healthy! The reason she passed out is that she is pregnant." Neji gasped. Tenten almost fell down.

They doctor led them to the room where Sakura was resting. They kept looking at each other confused and surprised, unable to find words to express what they wanted to tell. Sakura was pregnant. They were just out of the courtroom that gave her the divorce she asked for and she was pregnant. Had she known that? What would they say to her?

They entered the room and saw an incredibly calm Sakura. The color had returned to her face and she was caressing her still flat belly. The doctor asked her if she felt alright and told that they would keep her in for a night. Neji and Tenten were still speechless.

"You have to be patient, miss Haruno! The first trimester is always difficult and you are only five weeks pregnant." That snapped Neji out of his thinking. Five weeks? He waited until the doctor let them alone to talk.

"Sakura..., how can you be five weeks only? It's been almost three months since... you... with that model...! Are you still seeing him?" Tenten tried to tell something, but failed. Sakura started to worry.

"...Yes!" But Neji wasn't an idiot.

"You're lying! Why are you lying? Unless... you and... Sasuke...?" He saw his answer on her beautiful face. It was his turn to start walking up and down in the room. But Tenten wasn't that easy to deal with. Her face became red with anger.

"You mean... I've worked my butt off for your divorce, I'm dying of guilt that I couldn't get you the custody and... and you keep having sex with Sasuke? What kind of divorce is that?"

"Tennie, don't get mad! It was an one time thing with Sasuke! And I know it's not your fault that I lost the custody! But now... I have a new baby coming and I won't let Sasuke take that one, too! You can't tell him..."

"Are you insane?" Neji was in panic. "You want me to keep that a secret from my best friend? You didn't steal his coffee-machine; you are having his baby." And that were his last words, before he stormed out of the room and banged the door behind him. Tenten looked at Sakura who tried to get out off bed and stopped her.

"Don't worry! I'll make him keep it a secret!"

She caught Neji before he reached the exit and grabbed his arm. He turned around, but had to wait a little before she caught her breath and was able to talk to him.

"You can't tell Sasuke!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Sakura just lost her five children. If he takes that baby away, it will kill her!"

"And the right thing to do is making Sasuke believe that his baby has another father!"

"We'll tell him later, when he isn't that mad..."

"I'll tell him now!"

"If you tell Sasuke, I'll tell everyone what happened between us at their wedding."

What really happened between Neji and Tenten? Can anyone guess? Is it so ebarassing that will make Neji keep Sakura's secret?

See you next time!
