"You really meant it then, that you would be happy to have my child?" Gaara asked, once Sakura would let him come up for air. "You wouldn't be disgusted?"
Sakura rolled her eyes at him. "Gaara. If I'm putting myself in a situation to be having children with you, don't you think that answers your question?"
Gaara was silent for a moment, and then he smiled. "I suppose that's true."
Sakura nodded and for a minute they sat silently, staring into space, each thinking their own thoughts. Then suddenly Sakura shook herself and turned to Gaara. "Wait. Why do you ask?" She asked suspiciously. "Not because you want to have children or anything right? Because when I said I would have been happy to have your child, I didn't mean I wanted to have children now. Or ever, necessarily. Just that it wouldn't have been so terrible, you know that right?"
Gaara repressed a smile. "So you don't want to have my child." He teased. "You're just a liar."
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just not a good time at all. I mean, maybe, maybe, one day I'll be ready, but right now is just the wrong time. Completely."
Gaara allowed his smile to surface. "Once again you misinterpret my words and take them too far. I didn't mean much of anything by it. I'm just happy that you would even think that way. No need to freak out."
Sakura sighed and leaned back on the couch. "Okay good. Well that's a relief."
Gaara looked at the window and closed his eyes, and for a moment just sat there, listening to their hearts beat.
