She wasn't feeling so overwhelmed by it anymore. She was starting to feel less and less distraught by the loss, and more relieved by what she had avoided in not having a child. When she thought of it now, she would laugh. Imagine! She had been so ready to become a mother – she had had no idea! What would she have done with a child? Despite all of her silly plans, it would not have gone as she had hoped.
No, this was much better.
She realized now that what had made her so sad wasn't really losing the possibility of a child. It was the thought of losing Gaara. She knew now that she could never keep him. Nothing would keep them together – despite her subconscious, not even a child. There was nothing she could do.
How could she be expected to compete with an entire country anyway? It was hardly fair.
She sighed, hearing her mother's voice in her head. "Life's not fair Sakura. Get used to it."
