The hoping for pink lines

Hey guys I wanted to update on this story today since I need to conjure thoughts for the other story. Gomen. Well anyways lets get on with it. Lol.

I do not own Naruto. :)

Sasuke fell right next to Sakura on the King sized bed. He was panting and his panting slowed until it his breathing was back to normal. Sakura looked to her side and saw him there, with his eyes closed, and a calm expression on his face. She loved seeing that facial expression on him. He always looked so peaceful after they finished making love. She weaseled herself closer to his body her bare body brushing upon his. She then placed her head and hand on his chest and she watched a she slowly elevated and depressed as his body was exchanging the air in lungs to carbon dioxide. She smiled to herself.

"When I was little, my mother and I used to bake an abnormal amount."

There was no response from Sasuke but she knew that he was listening since his breathing hadn't decreased in speed for a while.

"We would have piles of sweets at our home due to our baking problem, I mean our house could have been mistaken for a bakery if you could believe that."

"hahhuh." Sasuke chuckled at her commentary of her own story.

"My mom told me that it was never about the actual baking. She just loved to have something fun to do with me. I was her only child and she didn't want any more children after me. She said I was more than the perfect amount for her and my father. She said I was special to her because I was a part of her. I was growing inside her little world before she delivered me into this world. Every night she would come and tuck me in and list 10 reasons on why she loved me so much. It was her equivalent of telling me a story I guess. I would never make it to that 10th reason that I would already be asleep. I always wanted to know what it was. I would always ask her during the day but she would always say. Wait till bedtime in which she would say but my eyes would already be closed."

Sasuke was quiet. Sakura for the past couple of nights would talk about her childhood and he would listen. He would imagine her as an infant pulling her father's beard and draws flowers on the wall like the mischievous little girl she told him she was. It was surprising to see how a troublesome child turned into a mature child fixed on studying when she was enrolled in the academy. Today the story she brought up resonated with him. She talked about her mother and how much loved her mother showed to her. The story made him think of his mother and how much she would look after him because he was her little baby.

The room was quiet for a while. Which Sakura expected. She didn't intend for her husband to say anything about her little stories that she would tell.

"My… my mother was so caring to me." Sasuke began to say

Hearing him break the silence caught her by surprised she was going to make a comment on it but, she stayed quiet to let him continue.

"Whenever I would have nightmare I would run to my parent's room in search of comfort. My father always looked annoyed whenever I would go to them, He would sit up on the bed look at me and then silently lay back. And that would make me feel bad but then my mother would grasp my small fingers in warm hands and she would lead me into the hallway then she would pick me up off the floor and carry me. She would carry me into my bedroom and slowly place me into bed then she would lay next to me and run her hands through my hair. Telling me that as long as she was there whatever scared me in my nightmare would not come for me because she would protect me. She would sometimes tell me tales of noble samurai saving a duchess. Heroic tales. I liked it when she told me those heroic tales. I always envisioned myself as the noble samurai saving the duchess from danger. …"

The room was consumed in silence once again.

"My mother would also know I would be pushing myself to prove to my father that I was a son to be proud of. She would see me come home with burns on my mouth and the rest of my face due to practicing the katon to show my father. She would out ointment on the burns I had on my face all the while telling me not to strain so much on trying to get my fathers approval because I already had it. He just didn't like to show it. Then I would help her cook dinner for the family. She had a little stool for me to stand on by the sink to stand on since I was too short to be level with her height." Sasuke didn't know it but a tear slid onto the pillow. Sakura cocked her head to gaze up at him. Even though they were in the dark she could see the glossiness of his eyes from the small amount of lighting that the moon from outside gave.

She moved to the head of the bed and moved the pillows to lean against the headboard of the bed and to be underneath Sasuke's head. Sasuke sat up to let her sit under his head. He leaned back and placed his head in her lap. She ran her fingers through his hair he enjoyed the feeling but the sensation also brought back the tactile memory of having his mother do that to him. His heart ached. Tears began to slide down his cheeks.

"It's okay Sasuke. You may not have your mother but you're not alone anymore. You have me. And soon you'll have someone else to love and cherish." She rubbed her belly. He slowly reached up and found the hand that was running its fingers through his hair. He brought it down to his cheek and caressed it rubbing his cheek into it. He then sat up, walked off the bed searched for his boxers on the floor slipped them on and then made his way next to her. He leaned his back against the headboard of their bed. Then he search for the warmth of her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers.

Sakura felt so warm inside of her being. She felt complete knowing that soon they would be having a child to take care of and love to the ends of the earth and would die to protect. They had been in Konoha for two and a half months and had been trying to get the white little stick to have two pink lines inside but it would always give her one. She would mention it to Sasuke and no matter what they were busy doing he would look at her silently and scoop her up and take her back to their bedroom. Not that she was complaining about the whole sex tasked husband but she was kind of hoping that by now she would've seen the dual pink lines on the pregnancy test.

"Tomorrow I'm going to check again." Sakura said pulling up the comforter with her free hand. She was getting a little cold since she wasn't wearing any clothing.

Sasuke scooted closer to her and let go of her hand to place his arm over her shoulder.

"I think this time we got it."

"Actually last time." She was correcting him.

"Hn?" He said confused.

"It takes a week to fertilize. Last time we had time to ourselves was two weeks ago on a Wednesday because I was busy at the hospital all week and you and Naruto went off on that three day mission. I'm checking for that time." She chuckled. "Stupid."

He flicked her forehead.

"Ow." Sakura had an angry look on her face then it faded into a smile when she heard his chuckle.

She loved the man next to her and loved him a little bit more when she heard his cute chuckle. It was rare to hear from him so when those times came she embraced them. They both continued to hold a conversation with each other until they drifted to sleep.

Sakura strolled down the streets of her home village melodically humming an upbeat song. She felt great today she just knew that today everything would go perfectly. She continued to walk until she saw the pharmacy she walked into the store.

"Mrs. Uchiha, Hello." The old female store clerk said to her while sweeping the floor of the store.

"Good morning Mrs. Nakamura." She greeted back.

Sakura wondered through the isles looking for the item she needed.

"Aha!" She caught the item with the corner of her eye then ran up to it and took it off the shelf. "I found you."

Sakura stood there looking at the box.

Should I get two boxes just in case one gives me a false reading? Hmmmmmmmm.

She stood their thinking for a minute. The grabbed two more off the shelf. She walked up to the register and placed her items there.

"I'll be there in just one sec Mrs. Uchiha." The clerk told her sweeping the dirt into the dustpan. "I just need to throw this dust into the trashcan."

"It's no rush." Sakura replied. Her eyes wandered and she looked and the magazines, tabloids and books near the register. Her eyes clung to a single book.

List of baby names 45,000 names up to date.

She picked up the thick book and placed it on the counter with her other items.

"I hope I didn't make you wait too long." The clerk said as she began to scan the items.

"No, I was in no rush." She shot a smile to the kind old lady.

"Okay that'll be 45 ryo."

Sakura went into her pocket and brought out her money and handed it to the clerk. The clerk gave Sakura her change and then gave her bagged items.

"Have a nice day!"

"You as well Mrs. Nakamura!"

Sakura walked into her apartment. And placed her items along with some groceries she got along the way home on the table.

"Sasuke, are you home?" She called out into the apartment.

No sound was made throughout the house.

He must've left to go train with Naruto already. I can get dinner ready in that case. She looked at the bag filled with the pregnancy tests.

Should I try it right now? She contemplated for a while. No, I'll just wait for Sasuke to come home for us to celebrate together. I know that this time I'll get those two pink lines. Shannaro!

Sasuke walked into his apartment and smelled something delicious. He walked toward the pot in the kitchen that had steam escaping from it. He lifted the lid that made steam burst out into the atmosphere around him. His mouth watered at the smell and sight of what was cooking in that pot. Tomato soup. He put the lid on the counter next to the pot discretely without making any noise. He saw the stirring spoon next to the pot. He picked up the spoon and scooped up some of that delicious smelling soup onto the spoon. He blew the soup on the soup knowing that if he shoved it in his mouth right then and there he would burn his tongue.

"What are you doing Sasuke?" Sakura asked him while drying her damp hair with a towel.

Sasuke shoved the spoon in his mouth since he was caught off guard and didn't want to get caught picking at the food. That was a terrible mistake on his part. The soup was scalding his tongue and mouth. But he tried to keep a straight face.

"Nothing, I was just see at what you made for food."

She glared at him.

"Come here, I'll heal your tongue."

" Fuck." Help said due to the pain in his mouth. "Okay." He walked up to her and stuck out his tongue.

She grabbed his tongue with her hand and within seconds her hand began to glow green and then after a few more seconds it stopped glowing.

"There. What did that teach you Sasuke?" She still had her hand on his tongue.

He glared at her. She moved his tongue side to side. "Saaaaasssukeeeee, I'm talking to yoouuuu."

He continued to glare at her. He closed his eyes. "Lit thloult mlee tlu nlaught eelt beflore dlinner."

She let go of his tongue. "Go take a shower stinky. I'll set up the table while you're in the shower."

He continued to glare at her until he couldn't see her anymore by walking into the hallway.

He walked out of the bathroom drying his hair with the towel that was used to dry his body when he got out of the shower. He placed the towel on the couch arm and made his way to his seat at small square wooden table. He couldn't wait to eat slurp his soup within a matter of seconds but first making sure that it was at an enough cool temperature to do that. Sakura walked from the kitchen to the table carrying a tray full of ribs. He was so hyped to eat now. He had tomato soup and ribs. Two of his several favorite meals served at once. This was a good day.

"This looks and smells delicious. Isn't this a little too much tho-" he had his chopstick in his hand clamping to get one of the ribs but then a hand smacked it away.

"Hey, what the hell woman?!" Sasuke said clamping his chopsticks while speaking.

"You forgot to say thank you for the food." She said laughing at the way he reacted.

"Fine."

"Itadakimasu" They both said in unison.

After that Sasuke began to gorge. Not even stopping to breathe. He was starving. He didn't eat all day. And coming home to delicious food he couldn't help but eat so fast. It put Naruto's ramen eating speed to shame. She chuckled amused by him. She knew she was lucky to be the only one to see Sasuke eat like that. She then thought about the major thing that was going to happen. Her smiling face went back to normal.

"I bought 3 tests." She said.

Sasuke wiped his mouth. "And what happened?" He asked curiously.

"I was waiting for you to come home. So we could find out together. After dinner."

He smirked at her then looked back down at his bowl. It had no more Tomato soup. He looked at Sakura. She already knew and got his bowl and got up to serve him more.

Sasuke saw as Sakura pace back and forth for three minutes straight. He stood up and caught her by the wrist.

"Stop, it'll be okay. This time we'll get it." He opened his arms. "Come here."

She walk into his open arms.

"Sasuke if it doesn't say it this time I'll be worried. I'll have to go to the hospital and have them see me. Because it's almost been three months that we've been trying and it always comes out negative."

Sasuke looked down at her. "Sakura. Just take it easy. It'll be okay."

DIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG

"The timer." Sakura said. "They're ready." She jolted out of Sasuke's arms but was held back by his hand holding her wrist.

"I thought we were doing this together." He walked beside her and held her hand in his.

She smiled at him and nodded. He opened the door to the bathroom where the three pregnancy tests were two were on the sink counter that was closer to the door and one on the counter on the other side of the bathroom. They walked up to the first two. And looking at both of them made Sakura's heart crack. Both negative. Sasuke saw the look of hurt on his wife's face. He rubbed his thumb over her knuckles to comfort her.

"There's on more." He said continuing to run his thumb over her knuckles.

He walked in front of her and pulled her along. She saw the last little white stick and seeing the negative made her heart shatter, Tears began to roll down her face. He picked her up. And walked her to the couch. And there they both sat.

"Sakura" Sasuke called out to her.

He got no response from her.

"Sakura…."

She continued to silently sob.

"Sakura, listen to me. Everything is going to be fine. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow and we'll see what's wrong. You know all about this. I mean a couple of nights ago you were talking on how much medical science has evolved over the past years and you could take an unfertilized egg fertilize the egg and place it inside the woman if they have trouble conceiving." He ran his fingers through her hair to comfort his wife.

"But, it's not the same." She said in a barely audible tone. "I want to conceive your child the natural way. With love. Not the scientific alternative."

"Sakura, look at me." Sasuke demanded.

She looked up at him. He felt a wet spot on his shirt from her tears.

"It doesn't matter how our child comes about. As long as its part you and part me. That's all that matters to me. I'll love my child the same."

"Really?" She said sniffling.

"Yes." He got the remote from the side table. "Now be quiet and watch TV with me."

Sakura smiled. "Okay."

Sasuke and Sakura walked down the streets of Konoha holding hands. They were on their way to the hospital in seek of help of their baby plight. The walked into the hospital and walked up to the front desk.

"Sakura, you work today? I thought you were off?" Ino asked.

"No, I'm here to see Tsunade. And piglet. You should be rest at home you look like you're about to pop any second." Sakura told her friend jokingly.

"Nah, I mean if I pop. I'm already here to be ready to get this little bastard out." She said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"You seem angry." Sakura pointed out.

"Would you be angry if a little bastard was kicking your spine and bladder 24/7" Ino said while waddling away with paperwork.

Sakura just laughed at her friend. She then saw the ex hokage walking down the hallway in front of her.

"Tsunade!"

Tsunade heard her voice and walked to her.

"Sakura, Sasuke. What are you here for?"

"Umm… well it would be better if we talked in a room better than out and the open." She whispered.

"Right. Follow me." She motioned to the two Uchihas.

They entered the room and all three of them took a seat in Tsunade's office.

"So what is it?" Tsunade asked.

"We've been having trouble conceiving a child. We've tried for the past three months and my body just will not cooperate with us." Sakura replied.

"Hmmm. That's strange."

"What is?" Sakura asked confused.

"Sakura I have to do some tests on you to find the problem and try to fix it." Tsunade told her.

"Alright."

"Go to the empty patient room across from here I'll send some some nurses in to take blood samples and check your overall health. I'll be going over your medical records and you family medical records to find the cause of your problem."

Sakura nodded and stood up. "Thank you Tsunade." She bowed. And Sasuke and she went across the room.

It's strange for a woman as young as her is having fertility problems. There must be a major problem at play here.

It was now late evening. Sasuke and Sakura had spent the whole day at the hospital trying to find the cause as to why they were having problems. They took x-rays blood samples. They used a small incision scope to take pieces of tissues from her reproductive organs and gynecologist tried to see if there was a problem. Sakura asked him questions but he didn't answer. He only observed and reported. Sasuke was outside of the room fuming that there was another male was looking at his wife's privates. He insisted for a female doctor but all the hospital had for gynecologists were males. Once the gynecologist left Sasuke came back into the room with his wife and saw the worried look on her face.

"Hey." He said

"What?"

"Everything will be okay."

Tsunade walked into the room. A disturbing silence filled the air. Making the room feel uncomfortable. Tsunade had a grave look on her face. She did not bring good news. Sakura's hand immediately sought after refuge in Sasuke's hand.

"Sakura what I'm about to tell you will be a lot to take in."

Sakura squeezed Sasuke's hand and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong Tsunade?" Sakura said shakily.

"Do you remember when you went on the mission retrieval for Gaara and you fought Sasori well on the injury report you submitted said you were pierced with a Katana laced with poison and the area where you were punctured was the lower left abdomen. Even though you took the antidote some poison specs that were lulled by the antidote were not removed and moved throughout your reproductive system. Making all of your ovum."

"Useless." She finished Tsunade's sentence. At this point in time the sparkle in her eyes was gone. Her eyes looked lifeless. Sasuke was worried.

"I'll be leaving now." Tsunade walked to the door of the room and looked back. "If you need anything else. I'm here for you two." She walked out of the room.

Sakura let go of Sasuke's hand. And got out of the bed. She began to change out of her hospital gown and change into the clothes she was wearing earlier all while have the same emotionless look on her face. Something inside of her broke.

I'm useless. He's going to leave. I know it. Why is it that I can never be happy? There always has to be something keeping me from being happy. I'm not good for anything.

Why can't I say anything? C'mon Sasuke speak.

"Sakura, I-"

"Sasuke, I wanna go home." She said in a monotone.

"Okay." He agreed.

She walked two steps ahead of him the whole way home. She just wanted to get home and cry herself to sleep. She didn't want to get up and get out for the rest of her life ever again. She opened the door to their apartment and sped to their room where all her feeling overtook her. Sasuke ran after her and walked into their bedroom. She was crying loudly. He could feel the heartbreak in her cries. It hurt him. He never liked to see her cry even though most times he was the one to blame for her tears. Before today and yesterday she hadn't cried in years. He didn't miss it. Sakura tried to pull herself together.

"Sasuke…" she caught her tears in the back of her throat to finish her sentence. "I'm no good for you anymore. You need to have a woman that can restore your clan. I can't do that. Even though I love you with all my heart I can't keep you from doing one of your purposes in life. I know how much you wanted to restore the Uchiha clan. I'll understand if you leave me. You need a family and I can't give it to you. I'm sorry. I was looking forward to be with you and our baby. I got so use to the idea. I was so foolish believe that for once, just for once. I could have happiness with you. Just visualizing us three walking through the park as a family or eating dinner together as a tucking our child into bed at night together and telling them how much we loved them and we would do anything to protect them from danger or heartbreak. I was going to love our child with all my being I had my heart invested into this and now... I'm just a broken girl. Incapable of giving the man she loves the joy of new life.

Sasuke fell apart at her words. The words of a broken woman. A woman that had her hopes and dreams stripped away from her from a cruel life. He had to choose between his goals or the woman who loved him endlessly selflessly. She waited for him when she could've found happiness anywhere else. She was the one who believed in him. She defended him when others ridiculed him. She knew why he did the things he did in the past. She understood him more than anybody else on the planet could.

Her shaky hand reached to get his. He looked at her, silent tears falling down his cheeks.

"NO! I can't leave you. I don't care about my duties to my clan. All that matters to me in this world is you and I'm not about to give you up over something like this. If I didn't have you I wouldn't have a reason to be here anymore. I'm bound to you. My Clans duties made me blind to what you tried to offer to me time and time again. Love, I was an idiot back then but, now I've realized how much you mean to me. I've grown to love you so much that just thinking of leaving makes my heart ache. I don't care if you can't give me children. All I need is you."

His trembling hand cupped her cheek. She was still sobbing. He came closer to her and placed a kiss on her lips. Their tear stained cheeks making contact. He continued to kiss her as more time went by more passion was thrown into what started as a simple kiss. He pushed her with his lips and laid her down on the bed. They broke their kiss to catch their breath and went back to their passionate kissing. He unbuttoned the buttons of her shirt and exposed her porcelain skin. He kissed her naval and made his way up her body. She let out little moans at his actions. Her made eye contact with her.

"Sakura, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my lifetime. I love you."

She saw the sincerity in his eyes. She was amazed that he would give up everything for her. She didn't need a child to make her happy, all she needed was the love of the man who she would do anything for and it was apparent that he would do the same. She just needed him to be complete. He was and is her everything.

"I love you too. Sasuke."

He leaned in for another kiss. He couldn't resist her any longer. He was going to show her how much he loved her.

Please don't hate me. DX I made Sakura sterile. This is the end to chapter 2 so tell me how I did. Review plz I live off of that stuff. It's my food. I really liked writing this chapter. I cried while typing it. I swear on my life. It was too emotional. On my other story The Gap, I'll be updating that tomorrow if life allows me to I got some ideas while writing this chapter. I was double tasking. Heh. Well that's it for today. Adios!
