Sakura slowly opened her eyes as the bright light of the chandelier hit her eyes.
She looked up and saw Tsunade sitting next to her bed and holding her hand.
"Sakura! You are awake!" Tsunade said as she smiled.
"W-What happened?" Sakura asked.
"You fainted during your walk in the market. Plus, I have wonderful news for you." Tsunade said as she smiled excitedly as she helped Sakura seat up on the bed.
"What is it?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Sakura, you are pregnant." Tsunade said.
All air left Sakura's lungs as her eyes were as big as saucers.
Tears started coming out of her eyes.
"Sakura! What's wrong?!" Tsunade asked worriedly holding Sakura's hand.
Tears of happiness.
Sakura wiped the tears away.
"I am just very happy." Sakura replied as Tsunade gave her a hug.
"But I have a favor to ask, Tsunade-sama!" Sakura said as her expression turned into a serious one.
"What is it?" Tsunade asked waiting for her to talk.
"Promise me that you won't tell anyone! Especially Sasuke!" Sakura said as she looked Tsunade straight in the eyes.
Tsunade's eyes widened.
"Why?" Tsunade asked dumbfounded.
Sakura looked down as her hands clutched the covers.
"He is the father right?" Tsunade asked.
Sakura's head shot up.
"Of course he is!" Sakura said shouted and then apologized.
"Then what is your reason for not telling him?" Tsunade asked.
"It's just that one time I overheard a conversation between Sasuke and Karin. And he sounded so happy when he said that he would love to have her give birth to his first child." Sakura said.
"But Sakura you are also his wife-" Tsunade was interrupted.
"Yes, but I don't want to take his dream away. He already lost too much." Sakura said as her eyes started to water.
"Well you don't have to worry about that because Karin is also pregnant." Tsunade said.
Sakura's head snapped back up as her eyes widened with shock.
"What!?" she asked.
"Yes, she is also pregnant and on her fifth month of pregnancy." Tsunade said.
"But she doesn't even have a belly." Sakura said.
"She does but it is not as big as it usually would be since every woman is different. Talking about difference. You are on your second month of pregnancy and your belly is getting pretty big." Tsunade said as she chuckled and gently patted Sakura's growing belly.
"Oh, I thought I was getting fat." Sakura said as her cheeks turned slightly pink.
"Please promise me that you will not tell anyone." Sakura said with pleading eyes.
"I won't since it is your decision who tell." Tsunade said reassuringly.
The doors opened with full force as the doors hit the wall.
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled as he ran in like a wild dog.
"S-Sasuke!" Sakura squeaked with surprise.
"Are you okay?! I am sorry I couldn't be here earlier since I was in the meeting I came here as soon as I learned that you fainted. I shouldn't have let you go." Sasuke said as he gritted his teeth.
He hugged her tightly.
"By the way what happened?" he asked as he looked at her with a worried look.
"Well..." Sakura said as she looked at Tsunade signaling for help.
"She just hadn't fully recovered from the poisoning and plus the weather is too hot for her to be going somewhere." Tsunade said.
"I knew I shouldn't have let you go." he said as he glared at her playfully.
"Don't worry me like that." he said.
Sakura giggled as he kissed her.
"I think I should be going now." Tsunade said as she hurriedly exited the room.
When she was outside the door she cursed.
"Damn! That is my room. Oh well I'll just find something else to do." Tsunade said as she caught sight of Neji.
She chuckled darkly.
"I'll just have some fun getting on Mr. Cocky's nerves." she said as she purposefully wobbled through the hallway towards Neji.
They would be leaving tomorrow morning since the reason for their coming was resolved.
A maid was sent to Sakura that told her that Sasuke would be waiting for her tonight at 10 o'clock in his room.
Sakura blushed at the thought.
She hoped he wouldn't do anything anything naughty since she was pregnant. She was informed by Tsunade that you could have sex during pregnancy but she still didn't want to risk it.
Sakura sighed.
"Sakura? Is something wrong?" Hinata asked.
"No, but I have to tell you something. Something that you cannot tell anyone." Sakura said as she showed her pinky to Hinata.
HInata understood what she meant as she crossed her pinky with Sakura's.
"I promise I won't tell a living soul" she said as both of them nodded and giggled afterwards.
They still had their childish moments even though they are still not adults they are still teens.
"I am two months pregnant." Sakura said with an eager smile.
Hinata's eyes widened.
"Oh my god! I am so happy for you!" Hinata exclaimed as she embraced her sister in a warm hug.
Sakura giggled.
They spent the rest of the day talking about how they would grow their kids and how they would play with each other.
After the nice chat that both sisters had Sakura excused herself and headed to Sasuke's room.
She knocked and when no one answered she quietly entered the room.
The room was dark and the only light that came in the room was from the open glass doors that led outside.
Sakura sat on the edge of the bed and then froze when she heard something move in the dark.
"Sasuke?" Sakura asked as no reply came.
Then the door opened and Sasuke walked in.
He looked surprised when he saw Sakura.
"Am I too early?" she asked.
"Why are you here?" he asked. He didn't have anything against her being in his room he loved the idea he was just surprised. But unfortunately she took the question in the wrong way.
"Oh am I bothering you? Were you expecting Karin?" she said as her voice was filled with slight anger.
"No, its just that I didn't know that you were coming tonight." he said.
"Hn. You were the one who sent the maid to me telling to come to your room tonight and you act like you don't remember." she said as she huffed and headed to the door.
"But I didn't send a maid." he said as she brushed past him towards the door.
"Hm. Liar." she said.
He grabbed her hand.
"What is wrong with you?!" he said in a concerned and a bit angry voice.
"Nothing." she said as she looked him straight in the eyes.
'I think these are the famous mood swings that you have during pregnancies.' Sakura thought to herself.
A second later she got separated from Sasuke as two people with masks grabbed him by the arms and held him back as someone else grabbed her by her waist and she felt her back press into someone.
As she started to struggle and scream the person brought a knife and pointed it to her stomach.
"You better be quiet." the person growled out.
"Sakura!" Sasuke shouted as she kept struggling.
He punched one man and kicked the other in the stomach.
The one holding Sakura was about to stab her when Sasuke tore her.
The man that was holding Sakura lashed at Sakura again when Sasuke covered her as the man stabbed him in the stomach.
Sasuke growled out as he fell to the floor.
"SASUKE!" Sakura yelled as she held him.
The men dashed out of the glass doors and disappeared into the night.
Sasuke was breathing heavily as blood was pouring out of the wound.
"Someone! Help!" Sakura yelled as tears started pouring out of her eyes as Sasuke slumped against her.
"Don't worry I'll be okay. T-The important thing is t-that you are o-okay." he said as he fell into Sakura's arms and blacked out.
"SASUKE!" she yelled as she shook him slightly as panic filled her.
Kabuto ran in with guards behind him.
"Sakura-sama! Are you okay?!" one of the guards shouted.
"Yes! Please take him to Lady Tsunade! He has been stabbed and is bleeding!" she said as she shook.
A few of the guards immediately lifted his body up and hurriedly carried them to the said person.
"What happened?" one of the guards that stayed asked.
"Three men dressed in black attacked us. Two of the people held Sasuke-sama back while the other one held me and told me to be quiet as he brought out a knife. Sasuke fought the other two men and then he covered me when the man was about to stab me and got stabbed instead." she said as she was sobbing and hiccuping.
"Nice story that you got there. But do you really think that we will believe you." Kabuto said with a glare.
"W-What are you saying?! It's the truth." Sakura said.
"Look at yourself. Your hands are covered in blood and your clothing also. You just made up the story to defend yourself." Kabuto said.
"No. I have blood all over me because I was holding him." she shouted.
Hinata ran in the room with Naruto following her.
"Sakura! What happened?!" Hinata shouted.
"I'll explain later! Please take me to Sasuke!" she said as Hinata helped her up.
"Okay." Hinata replied as they headed towards the room where the surgery was about to begin.
When Sakura reached the doors of the operating room she bursted in through them.
Tsunade turned to her with a white mask covering her face.
"Sakura! The surgery is about to begin. You should wait outside." Tsunade said in a firm voice.
"Please Tsunade-sama! Let me help! It is my fault after all." Sakura said as she panted slightly.
Tsunade came closer to Sakura so only Sakura would be able to hear what she said.
"You know what position you are in. You cannot waist your energy and you cannot be worrying because it will affect your health and also the health of your baby." Tsunade said.
"Please Tsunade-sama! But at least use my chakra!" Sakura said.
Sasuke groaned on the table.
Tsunade looked down to her feet with furrowed eyebrows.
"Fine! But we will only use a little bit of it." Tsunade said.
Sakura smiled with relief.
Tsunade stood next to Sasuke and ordered the nurses to hold him down.
When they did as they were told she quickly pulled the knife out.
She placed her hands on top of the wound and told Sakura to concentrate her chakra in her palms and put her hands on top of hers.
And a two hour surgery began.
After the surgery ended everyone was exhausted since she convinced Tsunade to use all of her chakra.
She was relieved that the surgery went well but Sasuke was in a coma.
So that what was what worsened her situation since she got blamed by Kabuto for an attempted murder.
Sasuke was taken to his room and Sakura stayed by his side the whole time holding his hand.
She sat next to him holding his pale hand and tightened her grip on his hand as teardrops started to fall on their inter wined hands.
"I-I am sorry Sasuke. I-It is a-all my f-fault." she hiccuped as she sobbed.
She brought up his hand and held it close to her chest.
"Please be okay. I need you. Our baby needs you." she whispered.
The doors suddenly opened as Ten-Ten ran in panting heavily.
"Sakura! The peace treaty is about to be broken and they want a war." Ten-Ten shouted out.
Sakura's eyes widened.
"What!" Sakura said.
"Naruto can't do anything because they won't listen." Ten-Ten said.
Sakura tightened her hold on Sasuke hand as her gaze turned into a determined one.
She leaned in and gently kissed Sasuke's lips.
She laid down his hand and got of the bed.
"Please take care of him." Sakura said as she passed by Ten-Ten and ran to the meeting room.
When she entered the room there was chaos.
The advisors were yelling back and forth across the room.
Naruto was sitting at the head of the table with a big frown and a hand on his forehead.
Hinata is standing on his side with a hand on his shoulder.
"First there was poisoning! Now there was attempted murder! What's next?!" one of the advisors yelled.
"Yes! Our king almost died from the poisoning!" the other yelled.
"Naruto-sama is the one who did this!" the other one yelled.
"There should be a war!" the other one shouted.
"There is no need for a war!" Sakura said as her voice raised a bit.
Their heads turned in her direction.
"What would you know? You are the one who attempted to kill Sasuke-sama!" one of the advisors yelled.
"Yes, she was probably the one who poisoned us." one of the three kings in the room said.
"Why would I poison my own husband!?" Sakura said with a glare.
"To get all the fortune and to rule the kingdom!" one of the advisors yelled out.
"I can't get anything since there isn't an official queen and I can't rule the country without an heir." Sakura said.
"What are trying to sound smart, woman! You should be locked up for the attempted murder!" one of the advisors shouted.
And the shouting and bickering started again.
Sakura closed her eyes as her hands came into fists. She gritted her teeth as a vein popped out on her forehead as the noise increased and remarks about female race were made.
"SHUT UP OLD FARTS!!! ALL OF YOU!!!" Sakura yelled her face all red from anger as she shook taking in deep breaths.
The room went silent and everyone's mouths hung open and eyes were wide as saucers from shock.
"I am not guilty of poisoning nor for attempted murder of Sasuke-sama! There will be no war since the one who was supposed to be attacked was me. I will peacefully go to the cell until Sasuke-sama wakes up and clears things up." Sakura said as she turned around and headed to the doorway.
"Sakura! You will not be treated as a criminal! I will not allow it!" Naruto shouted.
"It's fine Naruto. It's best for your kingdom and I must do this in order to keep the peace treaty. I can at least be somehow useful to Sasuke-sama." Sakura said as she smiled.
The guards seized her by her arms and led her to the dungeon where all prisoners were held.
"Wait!" Hinata ordered.
Hinata came up to her.
"You can't do this. You know what condition you are in." Hinata whispered.
"It's okay. I'll be fine." Sakura said.
And the guards led her away.
Orochimaru chuckled quietly to himself.
'Well whet do we have here?' he thought with an amused grin.
As Sakura descended the stairs to the dungeon with guards on her sides she looked at the prisoners.
They were kept clean and didn't look all boney and near death like she thought they would look like.
Naruto sure was kind hearted.
She was led into a cell where there was a bed, chair and a toilet seat.
There was a small window with bars that let the sunlight in.
She sighed as she sat down on the hard bed. At least it wasn't wet and cold. But since the dungeon was underground it was much colder.
She shivered slightly.
The metal door opened as Hinata walked in with a bunch of blankets.
"Hinata?" Sakura asked surprised.
"Here." Hinata said as she put the blankets on the bed. "This is the least I can do for now." she said as her eyes watered.
"Thank you Hinata-chan but please don't cry. You shouldn't worry yourself it was my decision." Sakura said.
"But Sakura-chan you can't do this. What if Sasuke wakes up in two months. You can't be locked up for so long." Hinata said as she hiccuped.
"I will survive. Plus the important thing for both of our kingdoms is that there is no war." Sakura said as she hugged her little sister.
"Oh Sakura." Hinata said as she embraced her sister tightly.
"Go, before you will get in trouble with those old farts. Please take care of Sasuke for me." Sakura said as she let go of Hinata.
"I will." Hinata replied as she closed the door with a sad smile.
Sakura sighed and laid down on the hard bed.
This would be a long night.
'But I am not alone.' Sakura thought as she put her hand on her stomach and smiled as she covered herself with a blanket and drifted off to sleep.
She did need to gain energy since she lost so much chakra.
Well here is the chapter! I am glad that I could update much faster this time. The ones who guessed that Sakura was pregnant were right. And one of you was right about Karin's pregnancy. Well there is much more drama to come in the next few chapters before this story will be finished. Please review! Ja ne! =^_^=
