To Sasuke the last few days couldn't have been worse but they also couldn't be better. It has been two days since his talk with Sakura at the hospital. Things seem to be less complicated, for now. Today was the day he would take her home, to their home. Sasuke was apprehensive but now was not the time to self-doubt, Sakura needed him and he was going to be there for her.

The drive home was very familiar to Sakura, because she has passed through these streets countless times, although some things were different, she could spot new coffee shops, different houses, more stop signs, a preschool a few blocks away.

''We will stay there for only a week or less, the doctor said we should take it slow''. He spoke while not taking his eyes off the road.

''Okay''. Damn it. Her voice came out shakier than she wanted to admit it, now he knew she was scared. She was the one that convinced him to go there and this is how she was feeling, just great.

"What is it?" Of course he noticed.

''It's nothing''. She said looking at the window, trying her hardest not to sound scared or look him in the eyes.

''Saku-''

''It's nothing I swear''. She spoke a little too abruptly.

He left a small sigh at her obvious lie. Minutes passed and the car finally came to a stop, their house was right in front of her and once again she felt sick, like she was losing control over her own body.

Sasuke could probably see the horror in her eyes as he spoke.

''Are you sure you want to do this now?''

''I don't know''. She spoke truthfully; the least she could do is be honest right now.

Letting another sigh scape his lips Sasuke took a minute to respond, letting silence be their companion. Their quiet moment was broken by the sound of the car starting again. For the first time that day Sakura looked him in the eyes.

"Where are we going?"

"Some place where you can breath"

Sasuke rounded their neighbourhood for what it seem to be an eternity, but in reality they were only there for about 10 minutes, it was clear he didn't knew where do go, and suddenly it hit him. He took a different turn and a few minutes later here they were, staring into the deep waves of the ocean.

He parked the car, and without saying a word took her in his arms and carried her a bit closer to where the ocean waves would hit the rocks.

"So?"

"So…"

Ah, she was being difficult.

"Aren't you going to tell me what's bothering you?"

"Maybe no-"

"Sakura"

"Ok, ok, it's just…I don't know, I know I was the one that had this idea, but I don't know if I'm ready to discover this life I already lived"

"Do you regret going there? Because if you do, say it and I'll take you back to your parent's house"

"No, Sasuke, its not that, I'm just scared ok, all of this is scary"

And once more, there was silence between them,

"If it makes you feel better, I'm scared too, but I know whatever happens you'll be there for me, just like I'll be there for you" He said this as he grabbed her hands to kiss her knuckles.

This reaction from him caught her by surprise, Sasuke has always been more talkative with her from all the people in his life, but to hear him be so open about his own insecurity was somewhat reassuring and even scarier, she was afraid of knowing how much they have endured in the past months of their relationship.

For a moment they stood there, enjoying each other's company, pretending that their problems were non-existent, but just like everything in life the moment had to end. She took a deep breath as she spoke.

"It's getting late, let's go home"

Taking a long look at her Sasuke stood up and guided her to the car. This time the car ride didn't feel as heavy as the first time. For the second time that day he stopped the car in front of their home but this time both left the vehicle without a second thought, as if this was just another day of them coming back from work.

Sasuke was the one to open the door, and she entered Sakura felt an inner peace she believes she hasn't felt in a long time. Finally she was home.


Hello readers, sorry for disappearing so suddenly, sometimes life gets in the way, but anyway I'm back again, but I can't promise to update very fast, I'll come back every other month, this chapter was way shorter because I wrote it months ago and didn't update it at the time, Sakura was supposed to remember something major but I changed my plans. I hope you enjoyed this small chapter, the next one will be out in probably less than two months.
