Weeks passed and she hardly even noticed. They had been busy with missions recently, more so than usual, so Tsunade had agreed when Sakura asked not to take her days off, and she worked straight through the month. When things started to cool down, and everyone could breathe again Tsunade then forced her to take a few days off.
"I don't care if you want to work yourself to death. I don't support workaholics." Tsunade told her as she kicked Sakura out of the office.
Once outside Sakura blinked into the sun for a few moments before heading home. She stopped by the market first to buy groceries. She needed fresh vegetables. As she was picking through tomatoes she thought of Naruto. What was he doing this weekend she wondered. Maybe she would invite him over for supper.
Sometimes, just sometimes, she managed to think only of other things. She managed to forget the glow in her belly, and the ache in her chest.
