RECAP: I'm sorry but Im too lazy for these all of the sudden
Sakura and Shikamaru were watching Naru sleep. Sakura was about to cry looking at her, she looked almost too much like Sasuke. Sakura left the crib's side and sat on her bed. Shikamaru stayed looking at Naru.
"You gonna be OK Sakura?"
"...I think so."
"Alright, I should get home before Temari and Matsuri get worried."
"Thanks for walking me home Shika."
"Don't worry about it. I'll see you tomorrow alright?"
"Alright. Bye."
Shikamaru hugged Sakura and left. Sakura changed into pajamas and got in on her side of the bed. The bed felt so empty without Sasuke there. She couldn't even imagine life without Sasuke. She was trying to stop herself from crying when Naru started again. She picked her up and remembered the first time she held her, the first time she couldn't make her stop crying. Sasuke was there to calm her down.
"You're daddy was the greatest man I've ever met. I can already tell you're going to be just like him."
Naru started crying again. Sakura was doing her best not to.
"Well...if you're going to cry..."
Sakura started crying and rocking Naru back and forth doing her best not to let her tears land on Naru. Kiba had gotten up to help and was now fully awake.
"Sakura, I've got this if you want to sleep."
"I...Kiba...I don't want to have to live without Sasuke."
She started crying harder and put Naru back in her crib. Kiba noticed her crying and hugged her tightly. After a few minutes she calmed down. Kiba loosened his hold on Sakura slightly and she inhaled deeply trying to return her breathing to normal.
"K-kiba I can't sleep in here."
"Where else is there?"
"...I don't know...I could go back to the hospital-"
"No, you can't do that. You'll never leave. You can sleep on the couch with me."
"...OK..."
"Alright come on."
Kiba took her hand and walked her to the couch. He got on and Sakura followed. They were really cramped but it was better than sleeping in her bed without Sasuke. Kiba fell asleep pretty fast and had his arms around Sakura, she didn't mind it reminded her of Sasuke. Naru slept the rest of the night, along with Kiba and Sakura. Shikamaru made it home pretty late but managed to sneak in without waking anyone. Naruto was still asleep on Gaara waiting for him to wake up and listening to their song.
The next morning Naruto woke up and Gaara didn't. Naruto was a little let down but he knew he needed to give Gaara time. Kankuro woke up realized he couldn't do anything . Matsuri and Temari got up early and let Shikamaru sleep while they went grocery shopping. Sakura woke up before Kiba. She had his back to him, he had his arm around her waist and his head right behind hers, she could feel him breathing. She got her bearings and realized it was Kiba draped around her not Sasuke. A few minutes later Kiba woke up. Still half asleep he said-
"Morning Sakura."
He then realized his hands were around Sakura's waist so he started apologizing profusely.
"I didn't mean to-"
"Calm down, it's OK."
"I think I'll go back down to the hospital."
"Um...wanna go get some breakfast before you go?"
"...Yeah OK."
"Alright, how bout eggs?"
"You cook?"
"Of course."
Kiba proceeded to make them bacon and eggs like Sasuke used to, with lots of acting throw in. They ate.
"OK, now I'm going to the hospital."
"Alright but promise you won't sleep there again. It's not healthy to live there like that."
"...OK fine I'll be back before Naru goes to sleep."
"Alright, see you then, bye."
Sakura hugged him goodbye and left. She walked to the hospital and Tsunade met her at the door.
"Hey Sakura."
"Hi. Sasuke any better?"
"...He's the same..."
"Oh, I'm going to go in and see him now. So why're you waiting at the door?"
"Kakashi's coming."
"Oh, OK."
"When's the last time you saw him Sakura?"
"...It's been awhile."
"Well, you can't talk to him today. He's got to file a mission report and he's late."
"Bye, Tsunade."
Sakura walked by Tsunade and passed Gaara's room. She looked in and saw his head all bandaged up and was suddenly jealous of Naruto, his lover was still alive. She continued her journey to Sasuke's room. He looked the same. His heartbeat had gotten to a regular pace but that didn't mean anything. She started telling him about last night with Naru.
"She looks just like you Sasuke. So much like you it hurts. I can't even sleep in our bed knowing that you'll never be there again. It doesn't feel like home without you, I mean I know it's not your fault but can you try to come back. Compared to where you are it must suck to come back but...I need you and your daughter needs you."
Kakashi had been waiting by the door, listening to Sakura. He didn't mean to listen in but he was. When she started to cry he wasn't sure whether he should interrupt or leave. He was about to interrupt when someone else did.
MEANWHILE
Naruto woke up with a very sore back from sleeping on Gaara. He tried to sit up but he was oddly weak. He ignored it and continued talking to Gaara. He also spent some time playing with the bits of hair sticking out from under the bandages. Kankuro wheeled himself in there a few minutes later.
"Naruto watch this."
Kankuro leaned his wheelchair back and managed to balance it on only the two back wheels.
"Naruto look!"
"I see Kankuro, pretty cool."
"Pretty cool? This is awesome."
"Sorry, I'm just a little worn out for some reason."
"Maybe it's because you haven't eaten in like almost 3 days."
"...I'm not very hungry."
"Naruto, you can sit and mope but it won't make him better. You need to eat-"
"SHUT UP KANKURO! ...Just shut up..."
"Naruto..."
"What if he doesn't wake up? Why aren't you as scared as me?"
"...I am...but I have never really shown any of my feelings...ya know you've seen me guard with humor...I AM AS SCARED AS YOU NARUTO-forget it..."
Kankuro wheeled himself out. Naruto tried to get up and go after him but he fainted once he got up. Kankuro heard and turned himself around to see if he was alright. He would've helped him up but he was in a chair. And so he set out to find a nurse. He wheeled himself all around the hospital looking for someone who wasn't busy.
BOTTOM NOTE: Hi there, yeah, so I know I'm supposed to know what to write but ya know sometimes I need help. As you probably know I don't finish a chapter and immediately publish it, I'm always at least five chapters ahead of what's been uploaded that gives me a lot of time to rewrite so I have time to change this but not too much more time. I'd like to know if you want Sasuke dead. Obviously he can't come back perfectly fine but I'm not sure if I should kill him off anymore. So just give me your opinion please. BOTTOM NOTE OVER AND OUT
