IRECAP: Sakura regrets sleeping with Sasuke and Naruto's there with her.
Sakura had fallen asleep on the couch while Naruto was stroking her hair. With Sakura asleep he started to worry about what would happen with Sasuke. Would he be here for her? Naruto knew that even if Sasuke was there he would be too. He felt partially responsible for some reason. The phone rang and Naruto had to get up fast but gently as not to wake up Sakura, it wasn't even noon and it had been the longest day of her life. Naruto managed to get the phone on the fourth ring. It was Gaara.
"Oh, hey Gaara."
"Hey Naruto."
"So what's going on?"
"That's actually what I called you to ask. You've been gone for a while. Is eveything OK with Sakura?"
"That's a loaded question Gaara. I'll be home in a little bit OK?"
"Oh, OK then see you soon I guess."
"I love you, Gaara."
"I love you too Naruto. I call-"
Naruto hung up before he could hear Gaara starting to continue, Naruto said he'd call him back so Gaara didn't try and call him, he clearly had something important going on. Naruto kissed her forehead, she smiled at him. She wiped her eyes and sat up.
"How long was I out?"
"About half and hour. Sleep well?"
"Heh I guess, I'm thinking it wasn't a bad dream..."
"...it's OK...are we gonna tell Sasuke today?"
"I guess we should, I think he'd be mad with the fact that you knew before him so waiting a few days...not a good idea..."
"It'll be fine...trust me..."
"What would I do with out you."
"I love you...OK I guess we should uh...call him...ask him over?"
"I guess...what do you think he's gonna do?"
"Don't worry about it, no matter what you've got me."
Sakura laid back on the couch and Naruto went to the phone to call Sasuke.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sasuke.
"Naruto? My phone says it's Sakura's house. Are you with Sakura?"
"As a matter of fact I am."
"Why! Why are YOU with Sakura? What are you two doing!"
"Seriously Sasuke? Me? Just get your ass over here. You better be calm when you come!."
Naruto slammed the phone down. He walked back over to Sakura and put his arm around her again. She cuddled up to him. A few minutes later Sasuke burst through the door and saw Naruto kissing Sakura on the forehead while she was cuddled up to him as close as possible.
"What the hell is this!"
"Sasuke! What did I tell you on the phone! Calm down now. Sakura me and Sasuke are gonna get you some water OK."
He kissed her forehead again before getting up, mainly to spite Sasuke. He got off the couch and yanked Sasuke's arm and pulled him toward the kitchen. He was whispering so Sakura couldn't hear him but Sasuke could tell how upset he was.
"Sasuke you idiot. Do you even know what you've done? Well I'm not going to be the one to tell you. How could you do this to her? Why?..."
Naruto's eyes started welling up, he turned to get a glass of water for Sakura so Sasuke wouldn't see.
"Naruto what are you talking about?"
"Just..be calm...she doesn't need to worry about us, you and I need to be strong for her OK? I'm not leaving her side got that? I don't care if you don't either. Come on she's waiting."
Sasuke was beyond confused. He new something must've happened but he had no idea what. Everything between him and Sakura had been going normally, same with Naruto and Kakashi. Naruto went and sat next to Sakura and she laid her head on him again. Sasuke was slightly uncomfortable at this point but Naruto seemed extremely distraught. Naruto's emotions were equal parts anger, disgust, helplessness and sadness. None of these emotions were aimed at Sakura, they all fell on Sasuke making him even more on edge around Naruto. Sasuke sat in the chair that was next to the arm of the sofa that Naruto and Sakura were sitting by. Sakura lifted her head off of Naruto and took Sasuke's hand.
"Sasuke, remember when we went out for breakfast two days ago?"
"Yeah."
"Do you also remember me throwing up in the bathroom and leaving before we got food?"
"It's kind of hard to forget, yes."
"Well, that's happened every morning since...the training grounds...do you see where I'm going with this?"
"...I uh..."
Naruto chimed in and started talking to Sakura.
"Sakura, he doesn't care enough to know. You've got me, you don't need him."
"Naruto, please. It's really not your decision."
"S-sakura..."
"I can handle this Naruto."
She was still holding Sasuke's hands.
"Sasuke...I went to the doctor with Naruto this morning..."
"What happened there?"
Sasuke was starting to put these hints together but he seriously hoped he was mistaken.
"Well, Naruto took me and we Lady Tsunade did the test and..."
Sakura was tearing up and Naruto was too. No matter what he did he couldn't get the image of Sakura's crying and her pleas for help. He rubbed his face with his hand and Sakura continued to talk to Sasuke. Naruto looked over at Sasuke who seemed frozen.
"...and what Sakura?"
"And, it was...positive...I'm..."
Sakura couldn't finish she started crying all over again, not nearly as bad as earlier with Naruto. Naruto reached out to hold her but he looked at Sasuke who was just as distraught. They needed to comfort each other. Sakura and Sasuke knew what he was doing. They also knew they wanted him to get involved, at least Sakura did. Few seconds had passed since Sakura started crying, Sasuke reached out and hugged her. He looked to Naruto, he had his head down and his hand over his mouth. Sasuke could tell he was crying too. Without looking, Naruto reached over and rubbed Sakura's back to calm her down.
Sasuke tried to make eye contact with Naruto, it never happened. Sasuke pulled back and looked Sakura in the eyes.
"I'll be here as much as I can. I love you."
"Me too, Sakura."
Sakura hugged Sasuke and Naruto. She kissed Naruto on the cheek and Sasuke on the mouth. She stopped crying, she suddenly didn't looke so good. She got up and ran to the bathroom. Naruto and Sasuke chased after her. Sasuke held her hair back and Naruto rubbed her back as she kneeled by the toilet. She tried getting up but she had almost no energy. Naruto carried her to her room and laid her on her bed. She was sound asleep.
Naruto and Sasuke left her. Naruto went to get her some water for when she woke up. Whenhe walked out of the kitchen he saw Sasuke sitting on the couch. His elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. He was crying, almost like Sakura had cried earlier. Naruto put the water next to Sakura's bed and went back in and sat down next to Sasuke. Naruto wrapped his arm around him and squeezed him closer.
