Sakura felt the apprehension she had not felt when she reached for the little box. She had never bought a pregnancy test before, sure there was a cheap one and if the test was for her it is the one she would go for. However, the test was not for her (thank the gods), so she took a deep breath and redirected her reach for the more expensive one. The one that told you before you missed a period. She knew most pregnancy test where really the same, just checking for the same hormone, but her friend was rich, she could afford to pay for this.

As she reached the cashier, she couldn't help the nerves that threatened to engulf her in flames. If the cashier was the judgy sort to reprimand a fifteen-year-old for having sex, they did not show it, hardly sparing her a second look before scanning the little box and saying, "have a good day."

Gods did Sakura want a good day. Ino already refused to speak to her for sticking with the "homewrecker Hinata." A nickname slowly spreading throughout the school, Ino was popular enough to convince the school to blacklist a Hyuuga. Which was unheard of, the popular ones tended to be Uchiha, Senju, Hyuuga, and Uzumaki in that order. Though Naruto's popularity was also unheard of, though Ino often joked that of course the rules would change at her presence at his side. Sakura often replied that it was in fact Naruto's friendship to Sasuke that moved him up the list, and that it being the first generation of no Senju amongst their ranks that really changed the dynamics. Ino often replied with a dismissive wave of her hands and saying, "details, darling, details."

Regardless of the how and why, as Sakura made her long walk to the Hyuuga manor, her thoughts were invaded by Ino. It did not matter that Ino and Naruto were likely to break up again the next day, as Ino had so willingly told her before said events. Ino could not forgive Hinata for sleeping with Naruto, and she could not forgive Naruto either. Even with all the begging Naruto did, Hinata was different, shame covered her features everywhere she went and could not face Ino.

Ino for her part took it as a sign that her righteous fury was earned, "how dare she not even apologize to me?! I thought we were friends!" She had yelled and ranted, Sakura could only listen, what else could she say? Ino and Naruto had been pulling her in different directions, since the event took place two months ago. Naruto claimed to love Ino and that he an Hinata had both been drunk. Ino had scoffed when Sakura informed Ino that, "pure little Hinata drinking? Bullshit."

Sakura could hear her phone ringing pulling her from her thoughts seeing it was Hinata she picked up, "hey, I am already heading to your house, thought it might take some time, not all of us can have someone drive them from place to place." She finished lamely, honestly, she didn't know how to make things less awkward between them. Sakura had not really forgiven Hinata for betraying Ino in that way, but Hinata had needed a friend. When Neji contacted her asking her to look out for Hinata three days ago, she got more than she bargained for.

"Actually that's what I'm calling for-"

Sakura stopped in her tracks, "did your period start?" she sounded pitifully hopeful.

"Uhm. No."

"Than we really have to do this Hinata, you cannot keep putting it off." She didn't mean to sound so agitated but part of her just needed a punching bag.

Silence, a never-ending silence that made Sakura look at her phone screen to make sure Hinata was still on the line. Finally, Hinata spoke, "my dad is home."

"Oh."

"Yeah, it can't be today."

Thinking of it, Sakura came up with a solution. "I'll text you my address, and we can meet there. You need to know."

"Okay?"

"Why the confusion?"

"It's just that not even Ino knows where you live now."

"Well the circumstances are slightly different between you and I."

"Yeah, of course."

"I'll see you later then."

"Wait, Sakura. Thank you." Hinata's voice sounded different then, she is crying Sakura realized.

"What are friends for?" Sakura hung up then, sending Hinata her address, thinking of what a shit friend she was being to everyone. Betraying Ino at least in Ino's eyes, turning her back on Hinata in her time of need, not helping Naruto with the girl he was so supposedly in love with. Sakura loved them all, but she wondered if they even realized how they were pulling her in different directions. She felt like the child of nastily divorced parents, all of them wanted Sakura on their side, and none of them really needed her. To an extent she knew and understood that whoever side she took was the one in the right in their eyes. Somehow, Sakura was the one with the moral high ground amongst her friends, while unsure as to how it wound up that way, she was far too invested in the benefits to continue questioning it.

She wishes she was Shikamaru who instantly backed away and said, "fuck this, I am not picking sides." No one pulled him in any direction after that. Though, as much as he claimed to be neutral in the matter, she knew for a fact that he had punched Naruto for it. Ino was like a sister to him, so no one was surprised, and Ino had no complaints about how unaffected his friendship with Naruto was. Only shrugging her shoulders saying she expected that turn out.

Changing her path Sakura made her way to the apartment. Sure, the apartment was home, but it was not hers. It was not her father's, or her mother's. Her mother was long dead so it would be a miracle if it was, so it never felt right to call the apartment hers. It was Izumi's apartment, the girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend's brothers. Life was strange that way, not that Sasuke knew where she lived, it was an agreement amongst all involved that under the circumstances the less Sasuke knew, the better.

Sakura would forever be grateful to Izumi for allowing her to be there. Though, whenever she expressed as such Izumi would always say the same, "as if my father would have allowed me to live in the big city alone. This is for me." The first time Izumi told her Sakura had been crying, feeling miserable for herself, not wanting anyone's pity. Izumi's words had comforted her, for the first three months, until Itachi and his parents visited Izumi and he let the truth slip.

Izumi had been in the process of moving in to a different apartment building when Uchiha Mikoto called and asked for a favor, she knew that Izumi and Sakura got along well. Izumi than proceeded to find a two-bedroom apartment close enough to Konoha Academy for Sakura, she adjusted all her plans for her. When Sakura found out the truth, she threw a fit, not one she was proud of but not one she was ashamed of. They should have told her the truth after all, Itachi apologized profusely for not staying quiet, Izumi only joked, "the one time you speak too much." There was a lot she owed the Uchiha's, and no matter how long she lived she did not think she would be able to repay them.

Arriving at the apartment complex Sakura stayed outside waiting for Hinata to arrive. It should not take too long she would be driven here after all. The apartment complex was in the more expensive side of the city, one Sakura could never have imagined ever living in, even while dating Sasuke.

Sakura watched as white car pulled up, she knew nothing of cars but this one looked nice, too nice even in the neighborhood she was currently residing in. She knew Hinata was here, once Hinata got out of the car Sakura noticed how she refused to look up, "the parking lot isn't that interesting you know." Hinata looked up then, almost surprised but definitely confused. "Come on," and just because she didn't trust the driver, "we have some studying to do."

Hinata smiled, the first genuine smile she had seen on Hinata's face in weeks. When they reached the door to the apartment and Hinata looked conflicted about walking in, Sakura grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. Closing the door behind them, she asked, "what's wrong?"

Sakura watched Hinata carefully, knowing Hinata for as long as she did made her well aware that Hinata's body language was often louder than her words, and she looked absolutely uncomfortable. "Just pull of the band aid."

Taking a deep breath to prepare herself Hinata asked, "I thought you were on a school scholarship?"

"I am." Sakura could not fault Hinata for her confusion, "I live here with a friend. It's a long story, for another time maybe." They walked further into the apartment in silence, Hinata had questions but she seemed to understand Sakura's reluctance. Reaching into her bag, Sakura pulled out the box and gave it to Hinata. "We shouldn't beat around the bush." Hinata took it, Sakura began to lead the way to the bathroom, "I already read the instructions, just pee on it, and in ten minutes we will know."

Hinata nodded and closed the door behind her. When Hinata had first told her that she could be pregnant, Hinata had been crying, and Sakura wanted to cry along side with her. For the first time she believed that Naruto and Hinata had been drunk that night. Even she knew how Naruto was about condoms, "always use proetection." He would say, and Ino would agree wholeheartedly. While happy that her friends were practicing safe sex, she did not care to be reminded of it as often as they were prone too.

"So your period is late, so what?" She had told Hinata, trying ease away her own nerved, "periods are irregular at our age for many." When Hinata had then to proceeded to explain how hers was never late, Sakura was firstly envious, then looked for another way to keep Hinata's fears away. Which she did, "you have been under a lot of stress, that can affect your period." The smile Hinata gave her in response was faker than her artist neighbor Sai gave her when they first met, but she ignored it.

While she had tried comforting Hinata telling her how it could be that she is not pregnant, deep down her gut was telling her otherwise and the fake smile Hinata gave her was proof Hinata's gut was saying the same, "you are pregnant."

That said, she still wanted proof, and she knew Hinata was in the same boat. She wanted their boat to sink though, she wanted to be wrong. Once the ten minutes were up and the door opened to a Hinata with tears unashamedly falling, she knew.

Hinata is pregnant.

A/N: So I've always wanted to write a teen pregnancy story, but I cant see Sasuke and Sakura getting pregnant as teens. So I started to think, who could I see being a teen parent? The answers were easy, Ino and Hinata, Ino due to maybe having to take antibiotics and her birth control not working because of it or something, and Hinata well because she wouldn't be on birth control and the one time she did have sex was impulsive and because she really loved the idiot. The idiot is Naruto.

This story would be from different perspectives and all the characters would have their own issues to deal with, Ino would be a broken heart, NaruHina becoming parents, Sakura and Sasuke getting back together. Shikamaru being in love with a girl that is older than him (Temari). Granted this wouldn't be how the first chapter for the story goes, but because Beginning is so Uchiha family/Sakura centric, I thought having Hinata's perspective here wouldn't go with the flow of the other stories. Which is why I haven't posted this story up earlier, I wrote it over a year ago just didn't think NaruHina would be welcomed smoothly in this.

I also like to call this my telenovela story. I am not planning too much drama, but just how I plan to focus on characters individually. They all have their own lives outside of each other but they are all friends, they all exist in this same world.

I'm not going to lie I am not the biggest Hinata fan, but because her fans ruined her for me. So I hope to do her justice fairly.
