Chapter 2: Sasuke's reaction

Sakura decided that even know Sasuke couldn't hear her that she should tell him. And so she went to visit him in his room. She put fresh flowers in the vase, and threw away the old ones.

"Hey Sasuke..." Sakura said to his lifeless body. "I know you can't hear me, but I need to tell you something important. I'm pregnant Sasuke." She said now holding his hand and starting to cry. "I don't know what to do. I wish you were awake to tell me it was alright or... anything. I'm so scared. Kakashi-sensei is knocked out too, so I can't talk to him. Ino is too excited she's gonna be a godmother, and I don't even know what to tell my parents." She said now petting his hair gently.

"Sakura?" a voice came from the doorway. It was Iruka-sensei. Did he over hear her? "Sakura, your... pregnant?"

"You over heard me?" she asked alarmed.

"I was running an errand, and I over heard yes. Are you ok?"

"No Iruka-sensei. What am I supposed to do with a baby? I'm only thirteen years old! I'm not ready! What am I supposed to tell my parents? What if I have to quit..."

"Relax Sakura." Iruka said sitting next to her. "Everything will turn out alright. You won't have to quit I promise you that. There are many other koinuchi out there who have babies and still work. You won't be any different. I know you're young and having babies this young isn't exactly normal in this village, but you'll be a great mother I know it." He said encouragingly as always. Iruka was always was the encouraging kind of guy. Sakura always liked him.

"Thank you Iruka-sensei." She said hugging him. "But what am I going to tell Sasuke?"

"Tell him just what you told him now. He's knows better than to just leave you alone to care for his child." He said to her.

"Thanks again." She said hugging him.

A few more weeks went by, and Naruto, Jiraya, and Tsunade were finally back. Sakura decided to wait for Sasuke to wake up in his room. Finally he stirred.

"Sasuke!" she exclaimed happily.

"Sakura?" he asked a little dazed.

"I'm so glad your ok." She said hugging him. To her surprise he didn't push away. She didn't let go. She had to tell him and she had to tell him now. She let go and sat in front of him.

"Sasuke, you need to know... I found out while you were unconscious... I'm pregnant."

Sasuke's dazed face immediately snapped to hers. Sakura couldn't figure out what his face was saying. He was silent for a while and Sakura feared the worst, but then he surprised her. Sakura was about to get up to leave, but Sasuke grabbed her hand gently.

"Sakura, you just gave me more incentive to kill my brother." He said looking into her eyes.

"What?"

"I need to protect you and our child." He said holding her hand tighter and now putting his other hand where the baby would be. "I can't lose the ones I care about again." He whispered as he stared at Sakura's stomach.

Sakura didn't know what to say. She cried. She never thought Sasuke would react that way. She knew it would be alright... or would it?
