Chapter 15
"Sakura are you sure about this?" Ino asked as her and Sakura were sitting patiently in a waiting room.
"Yeah I really think I'm ready now." Sakura smiled as she finished filling out some paper work, "Sakura Haruno?" a nurse called out while searching the room.
"Here" Sakura called as she raised her hand. "Okay we will see you now." The nurse said while she marked her sheet. Sakura grabbing her purse gently patted Ino on the shoulder, before walking over to the nurse handing her the paper work.
After the nurse skimmed over the paper, she escorted her to the back. Ino seeing Sakura go through the door, sat back in her chair after she let out a loud sigh.
Walking up on to a scale first, Sakura watched as the nurse played with the little square weight sitting on top. "OK looks like you are at 112 pounds… that's definitely an improvement" The nurse said happily as she took Sakura into another room; after she wrote down the numbers on her paper.
After Sakura sat down on the hospital bed the nurse began to take her blood pressure and temperature, "Okay Sakura just wait here and Tsunade will be with you in just a moment." She said before shutting the door.
While Sakura nervously waited, she skimmed around the room staring at one of the diagrams on the wall. As she took a deep breath, Sakura hears the door slowly open up.
"Sakura, how are you" Tsunade said pleasantly greeting her. "So how have you been feeling?" she asked next while she checked her, "Really good." she replied with a forced smile.
Elsewhere, Sasuke and Naruto go through the town shopping for groceries. "I can't believe its been 2 years since everything happened." Naruto commented when he picked up a piece of fruit. "Umm" Sasuke replied while he handed over some money, so he could pay for his things.
After Sasuke grabbed his change, he made grabbed one of the full bags of food, "How have things been going with you and Sakura?" Naruto asked next while he grabbed the other spare bag. "Things have been good, she still has nightmares every now and then… But things have been great." Sasuke said while finding himself smiling over the lucky break the two finally had, since they both were getting the raw end of the stick for some years now.
Hearing this made Naruto smile, as he was also happy for things finally looking up for the pair.
After Tsunade finished her check up on Sakura, she sits across from her; taking the time to speak with her a little bit while she started to take some notes. "Well I have to say so far Sakura, everything still looks good. You're still doing great and remaining cancer free," Tsunade paused after her assessment.
"So are you still having those nightmares?" She asked on a more serious note. Sakura took a deep breath before she answered her question. "Yes, but as time goes on, I'm not having them as much." Sakura said while avoiding Tsunade's gaze.
"Sorry I didn't mean to bring it up, I only ask because it was you that set up this appointment. So I wonder are there any concerns or questions that you had?" she asked next knowing that there had to be something on her mind.
"Well… I did have a concern." Sakura paused as she started to blush. "I wanted to know if you think it would be okay for me to have another baby?" she said quietly.
"What? Already Sakura you're still really young." Tsunade preached shocked by her sudden question. "I mean you two aren't even married or engaged"
Sakura a little ticked by Tsunade's objection tried her best to stir the conversation into something positive, "I know but I mean me having a baby now is it harmful?" she reinstated.
"Well based on how things are now, my professional opinion is that its OK but… pregnancy after chemotherapy treatments is tricky, it can take several years for you to get pregnant and even worse… You might not be able to bare children." Tsunade truthfully spoke now being the one avoiding her gaze as she felt guilty not disclosing that information to her when they started the treatments. Tsunade truthfully didn't think it mattered based on her personality at the time; do to her not remembering her old self or even recalling her own memory.
Sakura hearing this lowered her head; as her hair covered her eyes, she clutched the hospital bed. "I well… what if" Sakura found herself stopping before she placed a hand over her mouth.
Tsunade seeing her having a hard time tried to comfort her "But you know maybe when you and Sasuke get older you can adopt a child and there are other methods we could try if and when you decide to have a baby." she tried to say on a positive note.
Sakura taking her hand away from her mouth surprised Tsunade when she had a grin on her face instead of the upset face she thought she had. "What happens if I'm pregnant now?" Sakura finally got out.
"What?" Tsunade asked completely bewildered. Blushing more Sakura lifted up her head to look at Tsunade.
"I took a test yesterday morning, since I haven't been feeling well and... it was positive. I didn't think I could get pregnant so I didn't worry about it… so what do you think about if I go through with having the baby." Sakura finished her question.
Tsunade taking a minute to process the news, stood up before she walked over to Sakura. "Well it's possible to have a healthy baby, but are you ready to try and take that journey again?" she asked.
"Yes I've thought about it and I'm ready, I deserve this chance." Sakura said as she smiled back at Tsunade. "Ok this time we are going to take every precaution to make sure you have a healthy happy baby... And Sasuke?" she asked next.
Seeing the sudden guilty look on Sakura's face is more than enough for Tsunade to question her once again. "Does he know yet?" She continued.
Sakura shook her head as she looked back down again. "No I wanted to make sure, first that I could carry a baby I can't put him through that again, "she responded sadly thinking about the first time that she was pregnant.
Once Sasuke had made it home after leaving the market, with Naruto he got to work on unloading the groceries that he had picked out with Naruto's help. He wasn't much of a cook by any means, but because it was the anniversary of Sakura being cancer free he wanted to do something special for her.
Pulling out a recipe he had borrowed from Choji, Sasuke got to work on cleaning some fresh fish.
