RECAP: Sorry it's been awhile had a paper to write.
Sakura had just walked in on 3 crying and was trying to get her to tell her why.
"Come on 3, it can't be that bad."
"..."
"My God just tell me!"
"Uh...OK...well a few months ago I had a kid too..."
"...I suppose that's why you took that 3 month long vacation to 'see family'."
"...I wish I was more like you..."
"What do you mean?"
"...My parents have him...they won't let me take care of him they think I'm too young...they've already kicked me out but they kept him...I can't stand up to my parents...I can't keep my son...I visit him everyday and feed him but...its not the same...he looks just like his father...a lot like Naru too actually..."
"...I'm sorry 3...your parents'll come around I think. Do they know you're a doctor now?"
"...No...I was thinking I was getting fired so I didn't want to let them down."
"Your job is safe."
"Really?"
"Mhm. By the way, did you say your kid looks like Naru?"
"Weird huh? I guess lots of babies look similar though."
"Who's the father again?"
"He was this guy...he's actually like 6 years older than me but I love him...I have no idea where he is but I love him...I met him 3 years ago when I was 15..."
"Wait you slept with a 21 year old when you were 15?"
"...Sakura I do love him...I get that there's an age difference."
"Fine fine. Wait. If your kid looks like Naru then your kid looks like Sasuke. Why is that?"
"I have no idea. His name's Itachi. I don't know where he went but I love him. I hope he gets to meet his son."
"...Not Itachi-"
"Uchiha. Yeah. That's probably why my kid looks like Sasuke. The Uchiha's must all look pretty similar I guess."
"...Oh...oh no...I've uh I've gotta go."
"Why? What did I say?"
"...Nothing nothing. I just have to get Sasuke his meds...tell your parents you're a doctor...see what happens..."
Sakura ran to Sasuke's room. She ignored everyone else in the room and focused all of her attention on Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Sasuke, I wanna vomit!"
"Not on me please."
"3 is my sister in law. I'm gonna blow chunks Sasuke."
Sakura actually started looking sick.
"Wait what? Why is she your sister-in-law?"
"She...she had a baby with Itachi. She slept with him when she was 15!"
"Oh. My. God."
Sasuke face drained and he gagged a little. The others in the room were feeling very uncomfortable with this new news and the sickly people around them. Sasuke slowly regained his composure. Somewhat regained his composure.
"...Oh my God..."
"I know."
"...My brother had sex...my brother had a baby...my brother had a sex with a 15 year old while he was 21...oh my God..."
"...Isn't it gross..."
"...That poor kid. He's not gonna have a father."
"...You never know."
"Yes I do. I know he loves me and everything but he's not coming back."
"You never know Sasuke. He might come back for his baby. You could see him then."
"15 year old and a 21 year old. That's illegal."
"I didn't pin 3 for a mother...especially such a young one...maybe that's why she got upset when Kankuro called her all those names...that must hit home..."
"...Itachi had a baby..."
"You know the poor thing's parents kicked her out but don't trust her to take of the baby. Her son has been living with her parents. To have the father of your child leave and your parent take your baby...that's a double whammy."
"...Itachi...is a pedophile...he had a baby with one of his victims...stockholm syndrome type thing I guess..."
"No Sasuke, she actually did love him and we really have no room at all to talk about Stockholm syndrome. We're the perfect example."
"...You'll have to give me a few days."
"Me too."
3 came in and everyone in the room blushed and she noticed.
"What's going on?"
Sasuke was bright red and Sakura was trying to cover for him.
"N-nothing 3. What do you need?"
"...Why's everyone red? What's going on?"
"Nothing 3 I told you!"
Her eyes started watering. Sakura knew her cover was blown at this point. 3 dashed out and Sakura sighed.
"...I screwed up..."
"...My god...Itachi looks a lot like me...basically 3 saw me naked..."
" *sigh*...I'm gonna go find her."
Sakura slowly left and went down the hall to look for 3. It took her awhile but she eventually found her in the dressing room again. Crying. She wasn't trying to make her cry but now she had to fix it.
"3...are you alright?"
"...Yeah...I'm fine..."
She sat down next to 3.
"...I'm sorry."
"Why'd you have to tell everyone?"
"...Because...because I'm an idiot."
"...I wouldn't even minded if it wasn't someone I knew...forget it..."
"No I'm sorry 3. Can I make it up to you?"
"...I'm fine really."
"Look, I was only trying to tell Sasuke. The others just happened to be in the room."
"Why Sasuke?"
"...So I'll owe you one? Or two?..."
Sakura gave her a side hug and left. 3 was supposed to remind her of a surgery she had but Sakura didn't need reminders. 3 took this opportunity to ask Sasuke why it was so important to tell him. Luckily Naruto and the rest of them had gone to eat. Sasuke was still red but 3 didn't care anymore.
"Mr. Uchiha. Why was it important for Sakura to tell you about my kid?"
"...Did you already ask her?"
"Yes. She blew it off and went to surgery. Please just tell me."
"...I'd rather not honestly."
He looked up at her after he'd said that and saw her eyes were red and puffy and her face was red too. He started feeling bad about humiliating her like they had. She was staring into space now. Looking like she could cry again.
"OK OK...Itachi...he's my...we grew up together."
"That's it? That's what she couldn't tell me? Why couldn't she tell me that?"
"...Fine...there's a little more...we grew up together...because he's...he's my older brother..."
"...B-...brother?..."
"Yeah..."
"...Now I see why Sakura wouldn't tell me..."
"So have you seen him lately? Did he ever say anything about me?"
"...I haven't seen him in a while...now that you mention it he did talk about his little brother a lot. Who'd've thought he was talking about you."
"...So do you know if he's coming back?"
"I wish. Anyway I gotta go to surgery."
"OK. Say hi to Sakura for me."
"I will. Thanks for telling me Mr. Sasuke."
"...Yeah..."
3 left to join Sakura in surgery. Sakura could tell she knew and simply sighed, not wanting to deal with a difficult situation. She performed the surgery perfectly and closed. Her and 3 just happened to be leaving at the same time. Neither wanted to engage in a conversation but Sakura had to be sure.
"Did he tell you?"
"...Yeah..."
"...OK...well...yeah..."
"...Yeah..."
"3, to make it up to you...I'll make sure you get your baby back."
"Really?"
"Yeah, we can go over there later today."
"...Thanks Sakura."
"Don't mention it. To anybody. Especially not interns. No one. Ever."
"Got it."
Sakura and 3 completed their days. Sakura said goodbye to Sasuke and Gaara and Naruto took Naru back to their house. Kiba went back to his and 3 and Sakura went to her parents' house. It was pretty far and their shift had ended late. It seemed to be a pretty good house. A few lights were on so 3 didn't mind ringing the door bell.
"Um...hi..."
"Hi mom...I came to ask again."
"I don't think you're ready."
"Mom I am! What would you have done if someone took me from you?"
"You're not financially ready or emotionally ready for a baby."
Sakura interrupted before 3 could go on a screaming rampage. She had a feeling that they had the exact same argument on a daily basis, they had it memorized.
"Excuse me ma'am. I'm your daughter's boss."
"Boss? Ha, what does she do get your coffee?"
"Ha, no not quite. She gets my organs, my blood, my meds."
"What?"
"I should explain. I run the hospital. You're daughter is a surgeon ma'am. Please reconsider."
The woman turned back to her daughter.
"A doctor?"
"Give him back mom. He's my son."
"...You're apartment isn't ready for a baby."
"Yes it is! I've had it ready ever since you took him."
"...Fine...take him! See if I care!"
Her mother ran in the back and got her son, put him in a carseat and brought him out.
"Take him, if you think you can handle him."
"Bye mom."
3 walked away and Sakura awkwardly followed.
"Thank you Sakura."
"No problem. I don't know what I would do if someone took Naru."
"...Thank you."
"So where do you live?"
"From here? Pretty far actually, I didn't know we'd be getting off this late..."
"Hmm...well Naruto and Gaara live pretty close. You OK with that?"
"I'm not homophobic...my parents, as you can see are really closed minded. I don't know why I was like that...Sasuke snapped me out of it though..."
"Alright fine...so you OK with staying at Naruto's tonight?"
"Yes."
Sakura knocked on Naruto's door and Gaara answered. Naruto was behind him holding Naru above his head and playing with her. Gaara saw that it was Sakura and shut himself in the door to hide Naruto.
"We were just putting her to bed. I swear."
"Mhm. Can we stay here?"
"Kiba's gone so sure."
"Thanks."
Gaara lead them in and Naruto tried to pretend like he was just putting her to bed. Sakura laughed a little.
"Where can the babies sleep?"
"Our bed. It's the comfiest."
"Where'll you sleep?"
"Who cares? You're the guest."
"Thanks Naruto. You guys are great."
Naruto and Gaara went to set up their bed to hold two babies. 3 was surprised at how generous they were being.
"They're giving up their bed for my baby and they still think I hate them..."
"They're are by far the kindest people I have ever met. I love them."
Naruto and Gaara came back out. Gaara grabbed Naru and 3 handed Naruto her baby. She watched Naruto and Gaara play with the babies. Then he and Gaara put both of them to bed. They shut the door and came back out.
"Sakura, guess what. We got got baby monitors for when she stays here. The other one's in the guest room so you two can sleep in there. It's a big bed 3, don't worry."
"Naruto, what about you two. You've just gotten married and you haven't had any time alone."
"Worry about that later. Go sleep. Do you need me to get you up sometime tomorrow morning?"
"We're fine Naruto. Thank you."
"Need clothes for tomorrow?"
"...Ok maybe..."
"I'll get some of Gaara's."
Gaara interrupted with-
"I take after my mom..."
Naruto set up the guest room and baby monitors. He then brought out a cot for Gaara and put in next to the couch. Naruto set up the couch for himself and Gaara got in the cot. Naruto leaned over and kissed him goodnight. Sakura and 3 fell asleep fast and both babies stayed asleep.
