"I'm… pregnant."
"I'm… pregnant."
Silence followed.
She bowed her head in shame and began to silently cry, placing her face in her palms to try and stifle the noise as she shook her head back and forth. "I'm s-sorry. I'm so-so sorry! I know that you weren't ready— We aren't ready for a baby yet. W-we haven't even settled down for crying out loud, b-but I—"
Her rambling stopped short when her face was suddenly smashed against a hard chest. Her eyes widened behind her hands when his lone one cupped the back of her head tenderly to hold her in place; tucking it beneath his chin as his breathing and heartbeat remained steady. Strong.
Was he… not as concerned as she feared?
Was he… disappointed in her and only trying to make her feel better with a hug?
"S-Sasuke, I-I—"
"Shhh," he soothed instantly and his arm wrapped around her more tightly when she began to shake. "I'm not angry. We'll be fine." Those words caused a tidal wave of relief to wash over her. She removed her hands from her face and wrapped her arms around his torso, squeezing her lover in a tight bear hug as she soaked his tunic with her tears. His cloak fell around them as he bent at a slight angle to wrap himself around her completely. Comforting her. Loving her in a way that no one else ever could.
Sasuke didn't have to say anything more. She felt it, every emotion, every unspoken word, and it soothed her worries away and calmed her soul in a way that nothing else could have in that moment.
They'd be alright. Everything would be alright. She had no doubts now.

If any of these sound like your own writing or another you have read I apologize but I didn't copy anyone's work. This is entirely my own writing. As stated on Twitter, I'll be going at my own pace and not follow a daily upload schedule more than likely. I'll just post when they come to me. They'll probably be pretty short, and maybe a bit random, but I'll do my very best!
