WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM?
The moment Sakura opened her eyes she realized that she was in a hospital again. All she could see was a white blurriness around her and there was for sure a niddle stuck in her left arm. She tried to sit up but her head felt like it was going to explode any minute now and she lied back again.
"Are you feeling any better?" That voice was enough to make her jump on her bed and open her eyes widely. Sasuke and Neji were both standing next to her bed looking very worried. Sasuke was paler than ever and Neji had... a black eye?
The memories started to return to her ming. The woman who had answered Sasuke's phone at New Year's was his secretary. Sakura had gone to Sasuke's office and talked to her. Then she fainted in the elevator as she was leaving defeated and miserable. Now she had waken up at the hospital with the strangest of companies. Why was Neji there? Of all the people in the world did it have to be the only person that knew her secret? She dared to look directly to Sasuke again and she immediately understood that he knew everything.
Sakura's eyes looked at Neji asking him why and it pained him even more than Sasuke's punch. Unfortunatelly Sasuke saw that as well and made him do berserk. He stormed out of the room almost throwing Neji on the floor as he did. He really wished he could take his nerves out on her, but after talking with the doctor he decided that she wouldn't be able to take it.
Inside the room Neji couldn't look straight in her eyes. The beautiful green orbs were wet and she looked ready to burst into tears any time.
"Why? Why did you have to tell him?" Neji sat at the side of her bed and took her hand in his.
"What did you expect me to do? I found you passed out on an elevator, brought you to the hospital and had the doctors tell me that you will lose the baby because you're not eating and miserable! Sakura, the only reason I kept that secret from Sasuke was that I thought that it was the best for you. But it's not! It's making you feel even worse than before!"
"But..." There was no buts. Neji was right. the secret was eating her alive. But what would happen from now on? "Neji, don't let him take the baby away from me! It's all I have..." She couldn't hold her tears anymore and Neji continued to hold her hand as she cried not only for the baby, but for that red-head woman.
Outside the room Sasuke was unable to sit down. He was sure that he could hear sobs from inside the room and that took his mind off his anger. Another door opened and Karin appeared holding two cups of coffee. She gave him one and then sat down right outside of the room. She didn't pick the chair by accident, but she chose the one that Sakura would be able to see if the door opened.
Sasuke didn't notice any of these. He hadn't even notice that she had followed them from the office to the hospital. She crossed her legs and did everything to get his attention, but the effort was fruitless. He could only think of Sakura and the baby.
Karin was mad. She had suspected something when Sakura came to the office, but she couldn't be sure. When she saw her faint in the elevator she didn't do anything to help, but she didn't for Sakura to lose the baby. It was that that had drove Sasuke away from her. Now she wished with all her heart that the woman had lost it. She had been so close to Sasuke...
But she wasn't going to give up. She had found her young gorgeous billionaire and the fact that he had impregnated his ex-wife was irrelevant. Sakura looked weak and sick. If Karin continued her relation with Sasuke, she would lose the baby for sure. And then there would be nothing connecting her with Sasuke. She could even persuade Sasuke to give Sakura the custody of the other children to comfort her and get rid of them too. It was a good plan.
More than an hour had passed when Sasuke enter the hospital room again. Sakura looked calmer and she didn't see Karin because she had returned to the office. Neji was still there and his eye was still throbbing.
"We need to talk. Neji, leave."
"Sasuke, please, don't blame him! He was trying to help..."
"The only thing he wanted was to hide the fact that he can't get it up." Neji would wish for another punch if he had a choice. Sakura looked at him both amused and curious. Neji tried to fix it up.
"Tenten..."
"They tried to have sex and he couldn't get it up." Sasuke was only repeating it to punch him and it worked. Sakura's cheeks turned pink as she was trying not to burst out laughing. Sasuke's smirk was more mocking than ever and Neji felt like running away to some mountain and hide for the rest of his life. "But don't worry! Sai said that it happens to everyone. Maybe not when they are sixteen... Usually after sixty..."
"Ok. I'm leaving." Not only he was making fun of him, but he had told other people as well. He felt lucky that Sasuke didn't know all his friends to personally text them. But Sasuke didn't have time for this. He knew that telling Sai was enough. He would tell Ino and everyone would find out soon enough. Sakura had forgotten all about her own problems and had a hard time not laughing aloud on his face. At least she felt better.
The moment Neji walked out of the room and left her alone with Sasuke Sakura stopped laughing. Sasuke sat on a chair in front of her bed and waited for her to start talking. He was still angry but also worried. He could see the black circles under her eyes and her skinny arms and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He was the one that had taken her children from her and that was obviously the reason for her misery. Off course he didn't know that Sakura knew about Karin or the phone call.
"You're probably very angry at me..."
"Hh."
"And I need to explain myself... After I lost the custody... I learnt that I was pregnant that same day after the court..." Sasuke remembered what Neji had said at the court and his feeling of guilt grew. "I was desperate. I thought that if you knew, you would have taken that baby too, as soon as it was born... and I couldn't handle it. I still can't handle it."
"And you thought that the best solution was to tell me that my child was someone else's?"
Sakura found it even worse as she heard it from Sasuke. "I was desperate. and I don't think I was thinking straight... I was scared, Sasuke."
"There is no excuse for what you tried to do. Would you ever tell me?"
"I would tell you when you wouldn't be so mad!" If she wasn't lying on a hospital bed Sasuke would have shown her exactly how mad he was, but the more he looked at her the more weak and frail she looked. Someone had to take care of her and he was the father of the child. He had the moral obligation to protect her. What he didn't tell himself was that he felt relieved. There was no other man in her life. He was the only one. Now he could claim her back, but he wouldn't. His pride couldn't take the fact that she had kept her pregnancy a secret. He couldn't forgive her just yet.
"We won't talk about it now. There are more important things to discuss. You'll have to come home with me."
"In your new house?"
"Hn."
"No!" His eyes opened wide as he heard her answer. She didn't want to come? But Sakura felt even worse. She had seen his new girlfriend, talked to her and she couldn't ignore her. She could give her life to have Sasuke back, but she wouldn't accept his invitation when he did it only for the child. She had still some pride.
"Are you serious?"
"We are divorced, you and I! I'm not coming back just because I got pregnant!" Sakura ment that she wanted him to love her again and want her no matter the baby, but what Sasuke heard was that she didn't want him anymore for something more than father of her children. And that hurt him really bad. He didn't know that Sakura had seen Karin, so he couldn't suspect that she believed that he was the one who didn't want her. And now he needed a face-saving way out of the situation.
"...I didn't mean to come back and be together again... but you have to stay with me and the children until you give birth, since you obviously can't take care of yourself." It was insulting, but it was true. She wouldn't be able to manage the rest of her pregnancy alone.
"Are you sure that I won't cause any problems?"
"The house is big enough. And I have many maids. Plus this is my kid, too." He was even more mad. He had offered her his love and she had rejected him. She might be expecting his baby, but she had no more feelings for him. At least there was a new baby coming.
Sasuke started to think about the baby and his pain eased a little. All Sakura could think about was the fact that she would live with him, but he would belong to someone else.
"She is still pregnant?"
"She is in the hospital?"
"Is she alright?"
"When is she coming home?"
"Do you love mama again?"
"How is that possible?"
"Hn." What was there to tell to five little children anyway? They were looking at him waiting for some good answers but he couldn't say anything. I fucked your mother in the back of my car and forgot to use protection? Your mother lied about sleeping with that model again? I'm so stupid that I told her that I didn't want her back and she only wanted to come until she gives birth? Nothing of these was appropriate for children.
"But are you people back together?" That was the worse part but it could be answered.
"No, but until she gives birth she needs someone to take care of her. So she will take the guest bedroom for a few months."
"That's the least you can do since you got her pregnant again." Tadashi looked at Daichi and they smiled at each other. The twins were thirteen and they knew very well the child-making process -at least theoretically-. They were sure that if their mother came home their father would fall for her again. He was totally weak against her round belly.
"But, daddy, you said that the new baby wasn't yours!" Sasuke had to remind to himself that Anna was 8. The three elder ones were smiling knowingly, but the two younger were still confused.
"It was a mistake..."
"But mama left the house and she is alone! How did you made the baby?"
"Yes, daddy, how?" Minori asked and the twins couldn't hold their laughter. Sasuke's ears had turned red and Anna with Kaito continued looking at him confused.
"Hn..." He couldn't believe that his children were old enough to mock him.
Tenten parked her car a little far away from her door and she had to walk in the cold night air. The moment she saw the entrance of her building she noticed a blond head in the doorstep and recognized her good friend Ino waiting in the dark. Which was odd. Ino was very fond of her phone. She never waited for anyone and always called before visiting to make sure that the other person would expect her. Why was she outside the building this late at night?
"Hey!" Ino almost pee herself from excitement when she saw Tenten coming. She immediately made the knowing face of a disappointed mother and put her hands on her waist like an old hag. Tenten started to panick.
"What happened, Ino?"
"Oh, a lot of shit happened! Did you know that Sakura's baby is actually Sasuke's? That sneaky little bitch banged the divorced husband and didn't tell me anything! I would be there interrogating her, but your news were even better!" Tenten gulped. How on hell have they found out about Sakura? Did Sasuke know it too? And more importantly, what did Ino want from her?
"...What news?"
"The most shocking news that I've heard lately, Tennie! But I should have known it... One day you were best friends and the other you stopped looking at each other..."
An ugly feeling spreaded in Tenten's chest and she gulped. "What...?"
"But it's not your fault! It had happened to me once, too, you know. I was with a professor in college and he was kinda old I think... but he looked a little like Richard Gere... Anyway I was totally into him and I had just broken up with that idiot Kiba; do you remember him? Well, who cares? The first time I and the professor tried to do it, he couldn't get it up!"
And Ino started laughing while Tenten turned crimson red and took two small steps back.
"But Neji had done it with half the female population of the school, right? Why couldn't he do it with you?"
You've got to admit that things are going our way now... Sasuke and Sakura will move in together, but Karin isn't done yet... As for neji and Tenten they have left something unfinished and they will have to face each other again...
xxx See you...!
