BTW: Just a few more chapters maybe more Idk at this point sorry. If someone else in this story were to get pregnant who would it be? I'm not gonna get someone else pregnant I promise just wondering.
RECAP: Sakuras pregnant sasuke wants to propose and he's talking to Naruto on the phone
"ARE YOU SERIOUS! Oh my goodness I have to tell Gaara!"
"Naruto wait! I don't even have a ring or anything...I was just...I was thinking she's say yes..."
"Why ON EARTH do you think she's EVER say no!"
"...I just wasn't sure...but with a baby...I don't know if that makes my chances better or worse but...I have to try...I love her too much to not be married to her anymore."
"Sasuke...not trying to sound like a girl but that's really romantic."
"Heh...no offense but you did kinda sound like a girl..."
"You're right!"
"About what?"
"I love Gaara too much to not be married to him anymore."
"...But..."
"Oh don't get your panties in a wad. I'm not gonna steal your thunder, I'll let you propose first."
"...Thanks..."
"We need a ring! Who would know what Sakura likes and her ring size...it'd have to be her best girl friend right?"
"Right but...who's that?"
"...I really hate to say this because it's a real love hate relationship but...Ino..."
"No, not Ino!"
"Think about it. She'll finally get off your back when you ask her what kinda of ring she'd like."
"I guess you're right...but does it have to be Ino?"
"Sasuke! Man up!"
"OK..OK fine."
"Alright we should go today and then you guys can come over do the whole pregnant thing and then goto a fancy dinner place. That's where you'll propose!"
"Tonight? But but..."
"You love her right?"
"Yeah."
"So what's the problem?"
"...What if she says no..."
"She won't. I'll get Ino meet you at the jewelry store in say 30 minutes. You need to look good tonight so get a suit. And make sure you shower before you go to the restaurant. Tell Sakura you're celebrating the baby or something and make sure you tell her its gonna be fancy."
Sasuke kinda of giggled when he'd finished. Naruto sounded like he was giving orders on a spy mission.
"OK see you soon Naruto."
"Roger that, over and out."
Naruto hung up and Sasuke laughed some more. He went in to his room to get changed. Sakura was getting dressed when he came in.
"Oh hey Sakura."
"Hey."
"Tonight I think we should goto a real fancy dinner. To ya know celebrate."
Sakura went over and kissed him and smiled.
"That's a great idea."
"OK. We gotta be at Naruto's at like 5 so we can't stay too long. Um...I gotta go...with Gaara to refile his visiting papers."
"Why isn't Naruto?"
"...He's...uh...trying to clean the apartment..."
"Oh no. We're causing a problem..."
"No no no. He was still picking up after Temari and Kankuro...they're messy like you wouldn't believe...heh..."
He could tell Sakura was getting suspicious so before she could think everything through he was dressed and leaving.
"B-bye Sakura! See you later!"
"...Bye Sasuke!"
Sakura was pretty suspicious but she shrugged it off and finished getting dressed. She then realized that she had to find something to wear to this fancy restaurant of Sasuke's.
MEANWHILE
Sasuke was racing down the streets to the jewelry store. He saw Naruto and Ino waiting there. Ino seemed to be trying to leave...until she saw Sasuke.
"SEE I TOLD YOU HE'D BE HERE!"
"Well, I couldn't be sure...so Sasuke...are we here so you can buy me jewelry?"
Sasuke looked like he'd been slapped in the face. He hated dealing with Ino, he also figured Naruto would've told her already. He looked past Ino to see Naruto smiling at him nervoursly. Sasuke glared back and started talking to Ino.
"...Actually Ino...I love Sakura and...you know her so well..."
"That's right I'll know when she's home or not...planning on sneaking out?"
"No. Listen. I was planning...well you know her well I figured you know what she likes too...I need a ring..."
"...Like a friendship ring...to make her feel better about the fact that you love me...right?"
"No..."
He thought Ino was going to cry. Sasuke was thinking about hugging her but then figured it'd make matters worse. He looked over to Naruto who then proceeded to hug Ino from behind. She started bawling. Naruto turned her around and hugged her even more. Her crying didn't stop for a while, Naruto's shirt was soaking with tears but he didn't stop rubbing Ino's back and hugging her. Although he wasn't particularly fond of Ino he felt bad...the person she loved just asked her to pick out an engagement ring for her rival. Ino finally let go of Naruto. She'd stopped crying but her eyes were red. She turned to Sasuke.
"...Sakura...not me?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Nothing to be sorry about...so Sakura likes silver..."
"So you're OK with this?"
"I don't wanna be that person trying to break people up...I'll get over it...eventually..."
"I can't thank you enough."
"It's my pleasure. OK let's go inside."
They walked in and Ino's eyes lit up with all of the gorgeous jewelry that was surrounding her. Her eyes then looked sad remembering that although the love of her life had asked her to come she'd never get to be with him and now she was picking out a ring for him. Sasuke was seriously regretting asking Ino to do this. He felt terrible. And to make matters worse the rings were all the way in the back. That meant Ino had to be taunted by every other piece of jewelry in the store, jewelry she thought might have been for her from Sasuke. Naruto was starting to regret asking her too but there was no other way. After what seemed like an eternity they finally made it to the back counter. Ino immediately started combing through the rings.
"OK. Sakura doesn't like gold. She thinks it looks tacky on rings. She's not going to want a plain band. You'll have to get it set with smaller diamonds. It really depends on the main diamond's size when it comes to the actually setting. OK, so all of that considered what's your budget?"
"Well, I don't know if it's good or not but I've got 4,600."
Ino continued to unleash a tornado of jewelry knowledge on Naruto and Sasuke who barely understood every other word she was saying.
"...WOW...I'm glad me and Naruto didn't try and do this on our own. We would've walked out with an engagement necklace. How did you get to know all of this stuff?"
"I've been...kinda...planning on what mine would look like...I just took that and changed it a little to match what Sakura likes..."
"Thanks Ino."
"No problem. Anyway back to the rings. So there is a way to combine the best of these two styles but we might end up using like all of that money."
"Wait, these aren't using all my money?"
"No these are the good ones that won't clean you out."
"Well, I'm perfectly fine with spending all of this if it's what Sakura would love."
"Alright then. Let's move to the other case. OK here we have a similar style of ring but the main diamond is huge. Who doesn't want that? I'll tell you who. Sakura, she doesn't want a freakishly large diamond weighing down her hand. That doesn't mean we cheap out. All it means is we need to find a good size diamond that is of the highest quality possible. So let's go back here."
Naruto and Sasuke followed her as she went to the furthest counter in the store. She started talking to a clerk and at one point turned back to point at Sasuke and then held up four fingers on her right hand. The clerks eyes grew wide when she did that and they were escorted to a consultation room. Sasuke was amazed at how much Ino knew about all of this, he was also thankful he didn't try to do it on his own. Once they were in the room Ino did all of the talking. Sasuke could barely make out the words they were saying, they were terms he had never heard of. The clerk left to and Ino turned back to Sasuke.
"OK, he's gone to get us some options and we'll go from there."
"Geez Ino, how'd you get us in here? I didn't even know this place existed."
"Guess you've never been here. They show the most attention to the biggest spender."
As soon as she'd finished talking the clerk came back in and showed them ring after ring after ring. Sasuke made sure to look at every single one carefully. The clerk brought in 3 more groups of rings before Sasuke found the one. It was a plain thick-ish platinum band. The main diamond was 2 karats and a princess cut. Sasuke turned to Ino.
"That's it."
"I thought you'd say that. You and Sakura are very much alike."
"So why've you been showing me all the super fancy ones?"
"I figured I'd never forgive myself if I didn't show you the most glamorous ring in here. Just to be sure."
Sasuke, Naruto and Ino all knew it was the perfect ring for Sakura. Ino turned to the clerk and asked him to ring it up. Sasuke suggested Naruto follow him to make sure he'd wrap the right one. Naruto knew he just wanted to talk to Ino. Sasuke looked at the clerk as he walked out and once he'd left he looked back at Ino. Her head was down, she was smiling but she looked incredibly sad. Sasuke leaned over and hugged her. She hugged him back.
"Thank you Ino. It really means a lot."
"I'm gonna miss you Sasuke..."
He pulled her off keeping his hands on her shoulders.
"What do you mean?"
"Well...you'll be married...I can't really be around you anymore..."
"I'm not gonna lie. You're probably right. But, like everyone says, if whoever the guy you like doesn't like you back he doesn't deserve you. There's someone better for you than me and when you meet him you're gonna love him."
"Mean it?"
"Of course. Now cheer up."
"Sakura...will she invite me to the wedding...?"
"I think so."
"I don't think I can go. Too much, I'd ruin it for her...if I'm invited...anyway lets go get the ring. I think Naruto had a chance to screw something up so I'd better go check."
Ino got up and walked to the counter with Naruto. Sasuke wasn't far behind. They got the ring and were out in about 10 minutes of insurance talk. They were finally outside. Ino said bye and walked off. Naruto and Sasuke started toward the suit store.
"Naruto...that felt cruel."
"I know...but without her...plus I mean it's not like she was madly in love with you. I'm starting to think you think to highly of yourself. She's probably already over you."
"I'm not full of myself I just...I feel mean."
"She'll be fine. Let's go in you need a real suit."
"Like you know anything about suits."
"I know enough. In and out fast. Got it?"
"Yeah cause I really wanted to linger here."
"No sarcasm. Got it?"
"Yeah, yeah."
