Another Chapter
Thanks for the reviews! I do not own Naruto
The room was tense. Itachi sat by Sakura with his elbows on his knee's, and his head resting on his folded hands. He seemed to be lost in thought. Sakura on the other hand was fidgeting her fingers with a bored look on her face and Sai was calmly drinking a cup of Tea. They were indeed at the scariest place. At the moment of course. The scariest place was with the council but right now it was the Uchiha Manor. Also known for the home of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha. They had no ideal what would happen. Anything could go wrong. The double doors opened. Mikoto with all her beauty and grace entered the room.
"Itachi. It's so good to see you" she said with a beautiful smile on her face. She glanced over at Sakura. "Sakura-chan, you're back? I was not aware of you're return" she said smiling even brighter. Sakura nervously laughed.
"Ah, yea a little while ago" she hesitantly answered. Mikoto nodded and sat down beside Sai.
"So Itachi, Sai tells me you have some big news" Mikoto said with interested eye's. Itachi made a mental note to punish Sai later.
"Yes" he said professionally. If there was ever a moment in Itachi's life where he was afraid. Now would be one of those moments. He had no ideal on how his mother would react to the news. Yea sure she had dropped hints of wanting grandchildren a few times, but marriage was always first. And he was not married. Yet.
"We..." he stopped. "I'm..." he had no Ideal what to say. Mikoto had a concerned look on her face. Sai could be seen mumbling 'Idiot' under his breath and Sakura was, just amused. She sighed.
'I guess it's up to me' she thought rubbing her temples. Sakura cleared her throat.
"Mikoto-san, I'm pregnant" she clearly stated. The room went silent. Mikoto had a blank look on her face. Glancing back and forth between her and Itachi. Fear was starting to set in. Sakura could fell her stomach turning in circles.
"Well" Mikoto said closing her eye's and rubbing her temples. "I am highly upset" she stated looking at both of them. Sakura felt like a little girl again. Being scolded by a teacher for being tardy to class. She opened her mouth, ready to start apologizing and beg for forgiveness but Mikoto spoke.
"Am I the last one to find out?" Mikoto asked.
Itachi and Sakura looked confused while Sai just smirked at their ignorance.
"Who else did you tell?" She asked explaining her question more.
"Sai…" Sakura mumbled.
"The council" Itachi said. They obviously did not know what was going on.
"Excellent. Actually not to long ago I received a call from the council. I'm disappointed, I wanted to be the first one to know. But at least I know before the others" Mikoto said feeling pleased with her self.
"Y-You're not….mad?" Sakura asked. Things sure were turning around. Looks like they were worried for no reason.
"Heavens no!" Mikoto protested. Sakura winced a little. "You would not believe how long I have been 'Hinting' to Sasuke and Itachi about grandchildren. Finally. Although I would have preferred that you both would have waited when you were married. But love does not wait" she said with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Also, Sakura-chan I got you a gift" Mikoto clapped her hand and a few maids walked in the room carrying bags. They sat them down on the table and then left the room. "Of course when I found out about the pregnancy I had a sudden inspiration" she chided happily. Mikoto pulled out a beautiful spring dress. Not just any dress. A maternity dress.
"I am going to be making Maternity and Paternity clothes. You are going to be my model. Also I'm designing baby clothes. Do you know the gender yet?" she asked.
"Yes, but…." Before Sakura could finish Sai spoke.
"Itachi didn't go to the ultrasound today. So as punishment, He is not allowed to know the gender of the child. We wish for you to keep it a secret Mikoto-chan" Sai said giving his emotionless smile. Mikoto chuckled and nodded.
"I have pictures" Sakura said remembering them. She pulled them out of her bag and handed them to Mikoto who beamed over them. She reminded Sakura of a small child eating ice cream for the first time. Mikoto handed them back.
"So precious" she said smiling. Sakura nodded and mumbled her thanks. "Do you know when you're due?"
"Sometime late November. If I'm right"
Mikoto clapped her hands excitedly. "Well so far I have just spring and summer outfits prepared for you."
"Thanks" Sakura said smiling.
"Mikoto-chan" Sai said. They all glanced at him. "How do you think Fugaku will react?"
Leave it to Sai to bring the dark clouds over the rainbow.
"I'll take care of him. You guys have nothing to worry about" she assured them. Sakura nodded.
'It's the council I'm worried about' Both Sakura and Itachi seemed to have the same thoughts.
Sakura yawned and stretched walking in the living room. Itachi was sitting on the couch looking at the ultrasound pictures. She giggled to herself.
'He looks the same way Sai looked' she thought.
"It's quiet beautiful isn't it?" she asked sitting beside him. "Yes" he responded never taking his eye's off the picture. "What's that?" he asked pointing to a part on the picture.
"A fist" she said. He stared at her confused. "The baby's body is already formed. I'm almost at my second trimester" when she said this, her hand rubbed her abdomen. Itachi stared at it. He looked like he wanted to touch it, then again he thought If he did he would hurt it. Sakura smiled grabbing his hand. She lifted her shirt up over her stomach and sat his hand on it.
"Feel it?" she asked.
"What is it?"
"The heartbeat"
Itachi looked stunned. He moved closer and sat his ear against it. Listening. He stared back at her surprised that he could hear it. She smiled then groaned. Itachi sat up and stared at her, thinking he did something wrong or that he broke something.
"What? Are you okay?" he asked. She clicked her tongue.
"Yea it's just…..The council…What are we going to do about them" she questioned more to herself than Itachi.
Well i thought this chapter was a little cute. Itachi is so adorable in away about the baby ^_^
He really has no clue
