*6 WEEKS LATER*
When I confessed my love for Sasuke at 12 years old, I truly believed that what I felt was real love. But let me be the first to say what I felt then is nothing compared to the feeling I have now as I watch this man from below him. More specifically from where I laid beneath him.
The gods and goddesses couldn't compete with how heavenly this man looked at this exact moment. His jet black hair cascaded around his sharp chiseled face while simultaneously clinging to his forehead. His brows were furrowed in deep concentration, and his eyes… They were the most hypnotic thing I had ever seen.
The lavender and black swirled lazily in his left while on such occasions as these scarlet and black in his right watching my face, scanning my expressions, and memorizing our every move. Sasuke did this every time we were intimate. I learned that intense feelings can cause it to surface almost without his control. I didn't mind in the slightest, in fact I loved it. I loved the thought of Sasuke feeling so extreme about our love making. Him just replaying our intimate times together, which these days seems to be very frequent.
His swollen lips caught my attention as they parted allowing a grunt to escape them, it was music to my ears. I wrapped my legs tighter around his waist and pulled his mouth to mine for the umpteenth time. Our teeth no longer clanked sloppily together. After our first night together we couldn't keep apart for longer than a few hours.
Hell, we still can't. I wouldn't- no, I couldn't ever get enough of this man. The way he tasted, the way he smelt, the way his body felt pressed tightly against mine, nothing between us except our very skin. We were so close together it was hard to tell where one body ended and the other began. The soft mattress beneath me pressed firmly to my naked back as Sasuke's toned figure held me from above.
This is my own heaven. This was something I could never get tired of, being with the man I love and having him worship my body in every possible way. He touched every sweet spot I had, thanks to his photographic memory he knew where all of them were.
I loved the way he moved against me when I was oh so close to my sweet release. Once I was reaching my climax his name would always fall from my lips like a mantra, and without fail this would cause Sasuke to thrust roughly before reaching his peak with a moan of his own. His brows would scrunch and beautiful eyes would fall closed, succumbing to the pleasure that washed through his body. That was my favorite part of all.
To watch the man I love more than anything or anyone, being at a complete state of contentment and knowing I was the one and only one to bring him to this state. I kissed his lips softly one last time before he slowly pulled out of me and rested his head on my bare chest. Our breathing calmed after a few minutes as I laced my fingers through his raven locks that were sprawled across my breast.
His hair felt like the finest silk and I often found myself playing with it when I was lost in thought near him. Sasuke always relaxed into my touch instantly and I had never seen the man be more at peace than I had these last few weeks. When we were together it felt like nothing could stop us, like nothing could ever ruin our time spent together. I was never more sure that I would never love anything in this world more than I love Sasuke Uchiha and that's a fac-
My thoughts were halted immediately as the urge to vomit swept through me. I quickly pushed Sasuke's head off of me, jumping up as fast as I could and made my way to the bathroom that was attached to our rented inn room. My hand was clenched over my mouth trying to stop the inevitable and I almost made it to the toilet. I could hear Sasuke's voice as he began to stand and follow me, but the vomit had other plans.
I stopped in my tracks as my stomach contents emptied all over the bathroom floor. Sasuke froze in his tracks as well. I retched loudly until there was nothing left inside me. Tears streamed down my face as I slumped down to the floor and sent healing chakra to my stomach in a daze. I felt Sasuke's warm hand rub my back slowly and I wiped my arm across my mouth before staring up at him.
Embarrassment was all over my face as I knew I had just killed the moment. "I knew I shouldn't have eaten from that street vendor earlier." I croaked out trying to lighten the embarrassment I was feeling. Sasuke's face had concern written all over it. "Are you okay? What can I get for you?" Sasuke asked, still rubbing circles into my back. I nodded hesitantly.
"Mm sorry about that Sasuke-kun." I apologize grabbing a towel off the rack and turning to grab some cleaning supplies from under the sink. Sasuke took it out of my hand and gently nudged me toward the shower. "Don't apologize. Take a warm shower and see if that helps. I will clean this up." I started to flat out refuse, this was my mess and I felt my cheeks get hot at the thought of Sasuke Uchiha cleaning up my vomit. To say I was mortified was in understatement.
He swatted my hands away and rolled his eyes at my reasoning. "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gotten sick in the first place. I apologize I really didn't think that place was bad. I just hope it doesn't make me feel as bad too." Sasuke said as I climbed into the shower. I couldn't even start to think of the food without it making the queasy feeling return. I sent more soothing chakra to ease the discomfort.
Once I was out of the shower I dressed in a pair of biker shorts and sage green t-shirt. I informed Sasuke I needed to make a trip to the convenient store down the block. He stood and threw some clothes on as well. His normal black slacks and a navy shirt with a few top buttons undone. My eyes lingered at his exposed collarbone for a few moments and when he moved slightly I faintly saw a flash of purple contrasting against his pale skin.
I smirked to myself knowing how many more lovebites littered his chest. Sasuke rolled his eyes and grabbed our room key and held the door open for me. The stroll to the store was quick and Sasuke informed me he was going to grab a few food items and would meet me in the medicine section before disappearing. I walked down the aisle searching for the medicine I knew I would be needing. As I was walking something pink caught my eye and made me freeze.
I felt the whole world stop spinning instantly and everything I had ever done was now being questioned. I couldn't think clearly and I sure as hell couldn't move. Minutes or hours ticked by before I started to spiral. My thoughts were scrambled and hazy as I tried to count back days and weeks. It had been in June… on June 9th I remember making a mental note. There was no way I could forget that day.
I snapped my attention away when I saw someone walk by, it was an elderly woman and I called out to her without thinking my voice was shaking. "Ex-excuse me ma'am… Wo-would you mind t-t-telling me what day it is.." She stopped her browsing and glanced up at me looking concerned but answered anyway. "It's July 21st dear." When I didn't answer her she walked off and my head snapped back to where it had been before I had asked her.
There's no way. I began to take deep breaths counting back with both dates in mind this time. It had been…6 weeks. 6 freaking weeks to the damn day. My head began to swim again and my thoughts were starting to drown me. I felt my breaths quicken as I thought of Sasuke and what this would mean. Sasuke's birthday was in 2 days and I didn't want to ruin it for him. More than what I was already going to ruin for him with my newest revelation.
What if he left me? What if he was mad? What if he didn't want- My panic was cut off when I felt his familiar hand brush my back and I stiffened snapping my gaze to him. His face grew serious as he tensed back, I felt his chakra flare out and I knew he was searching for a threat. I then realized how panicked my face must have looked and I took a deep breath to calm myself. Hold it together. You need to figure this out first before worrying him.
Like flipping a switch my face relaxed and I smiled up at him. "Sorry Sasuke-Kun, I didn't mean to worry you! I just realized something is all!" I lied looking away while faking a laugh. His face grew confused but he relaxed at my sudden calmness. "Hn?" He questioned. Fake it Sakura. "I just realize your birthday was in 2 days! You were just going to let me forget!" I feigned mad as I lightly punched his good arm. His shoulders slumped and he rolled his beautiful eyes
"You scared me Sakura." He grumbled quietly. "I thought something was wrong. I felt your chakra get all weird and erratic and I panicked." Guilt rose up in my throat, but I didn't dare let it show. "I am sorry I was just surprised that I didn't realize what today was nor how long it had been since I had seen a calendar." I said not feeling as guilty because that part hadn't been a complete lie. I really didn't know what the day was.
"Hn. It's fine. Did you find your medicine?" Sasuke asked, glancing down at my empty hands. I swallowed down the panic and lied yet again. I shook my head. "No they don't have the right one I need, it's okay though. It is just food poisoning, I should be good as new by your birthday." I just needed to buy myself a little more time. Sasuke's eyes scanned my face but nodded anyway.
"I just need to purchase these items and then we can head back." He gestured to the crackers and club soda in his hand. I smiled up at him and nodded. As sasuke started to walk I followed but not before taking one last look at the thing that caused all of this turmoil. Something I hadn't needed in over a month. There on the shelf of this store sat a small pink box of tampons.
When we arrived back I excused myself to the restroom saying I was feeling sick again and needed another shower to cool off. Sasuke nodded and explained he was going to summon his hawk to send our letters back home. Once the door shut behind him I hurried to the bathroom, locking it behind me. I stripped down and turned on the shower to keep up with my ruse.
My hands lit green as I took a deep steadying breath before placing them on my lower abdomen. I closed my eyes and let my medic skills take over pretending as though I wasn't performing this on myself, but a patient instead. That helped me sometimes. I reached out with my chakra poking and prodding looking for anything.
Just as I felt relief begin to wash over me and was about to pull my hands away, I felt it. It was almost nonexistent, yet here it was. I wouldn't have noticed it had I not been searching which explains me just now realizing it. I felt the spot once more and I could feel it slightly better now. It was undeniable to me, a tiny flicker of chakra that did not belong to me yet was still inside of me. Growing.
A piece of Sasuke that I would always have. Proof of our love proof of- My earlier thoughts came rushing back ruining my happy moment. What if he didn't want it? What if he hated the thought of being a father? What if he didn't want me to keep it? My eyes drifted open as I glanced at my naked body in the mirror.
My eyes fell to my stomach where my hands still were glowing green. I didn't want to stop feeling this beautiful flicker in my belly that was Sasuke and I but I needed to make sure I didn't blow my cover. I needed to come up with a way to tell Sasuke that it didn't involve ruining not only his birthday, but also his life. I decided I would hold it off for as long as possible. I wanted to enjoy the time we have together now. For all I know he could split the second I tell him.
Was he ready for this? Was I even ready for this? Sasuke has so much soul searching left to do and this would ruin that. Would he think I had done this intentionally to keep him back home with me? I had been very careful about blocking my reproduction cells during our intimate times, but like Lady Tsunade said, that wasn't always 100% effective. I supposed I just would happen to be part of the 2% that it didn't work on. Either that, or Sasuke's Uchiha swimmers were too strongly willed. That seemed to make the most sense.
My stomach was still flat as a board but faintly, if you really were looking you could notice the tiniest of bumps beginning to form. My eyes widened but I had no time to react because I sensed Sasuke's chakra getting close to the room. I hurried and hopped into the shower making quick to rinse off once more. Luckily Sasuke didn't ask anymore questions about the matter for the rest of the evening. Also lucky for me I wasn't sick for most of the whole next day, maybe I could hold off on this conversation a little longer than I originally thought. That was until the evening when the waves of nausea hit again.
"What is the point of calling it morning sickness if it just happens whenever it wants… Whatever dimwitted, sorry excuse for a physician who coined that term ought to be fired."
My inner Sakura huffed as I brushed my teeth when there was nothing left to throw up.
Sasuke's eyes looked worried as I had taken off towards the bathroom for the 3rd time, but I insisted I was fine. Something in his perfect mismatched eyes said that he didn't buy that in the slightest. It might have also had to do with the fact that I wasn't the most quiet person at throwing up. If anything it sounded like a gargled battle cry.
Knowing the news I knew, I wanted more than anything to be close with Sasuke more, afterall his child was growing within me. It was almost as if that knowledge made me want to be by his side whenever possible. Almost like our child wanted to have us both around him or her at all times. I rubbed my belly absentmindedly as I walked towards the couch in our inn, to sit on Sasuke's lap.
He momentarily set down his book to open his arm up and wrap it protectively around me pulling me closer. I rested my head on his shoulder as he lifted his book back up resting the bottom of it on my back. I listened to his steady strong heart beat, and his even slow breathing, besides that there was no noise besides the occasional sound of a page turning in the book he read.
I could stay like this forever, never moving an inch if my body would allow it. I must have dozed off because I awoke to Sasuke carrying me with the help of his Susuanoo into our bed. I nestled my head into the crook of his neck, breathing in his sweet smell. I caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall reading 11:59 PM. I counted to 60, finally reaching it as he sat me down on the bed. However when he tried to stand back up I snaked my hand into his hair pulling his face to mine.
"Happy 20th birthday Sasuke-Kun." I whispered against his lips. I felt his lips smirk against mine but he kissed me back as a thanks.I pulled him on top of me and began to show him how grateful I was for his presence in my life. Again, and again, and again. It wasn't like I had to worry about getting pregnant or anything now. Part of me felt guilty. Guilty for not telling him. Guilty for keeping such a big secret from him. I buried that guilt for now, just for a bit longer.
We made plans for Sasuke's birthday the following day much to his dismay. I was excited though and I could tell no matter how much he pretended otherwise, Sasuke was happy as well. We planned a hike into this clearing and to have a picnic, cut some unsweet cake, and watch the sunset together. It would be the perfect time, how could it go wrong? My breath got caught in my throat as I watched Sasuke's lone hand lightly run itself over the slightest bump of my naked stomach.
