“I am never eating breakfast again as long as I live…” Cassie cursed into the toilet as another wave of nausea washed over her. There was nothing left in her stomach to bring up anymore, but that didn't stop even the slightest odd smell or the sight of curtain food from bringing on the sickly feeling.

 

For the past two days it'd been the same. She'd get out of bed and feel perfectly fine, but by the time she got to the bathroom or downstairs to the kitchen the sickness would start up again. If she even attempted to eat anything for breakfast there was no way she could ever keep it down, and the strange thing was that it never seemed to linger much past noon. It was like a new ritual that made getting on with life just a little bit harder.

 

Once the nausea passed Cassie got back to her feet and shut off the taps. Turning on the taps made sure no one could hear her gag and no one would get worried over her.

 

The doorbell rang as Cassie came down the stairs and she could hear Lee answer it in his usual cheerful voice, “Sakura-chan! Temari-chan! What brings you here?”

 

Gina slowly made her way down the stairs as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, “Can someone tell Lee to keep his voice down? For Kami's sake, it's Saturday! I don't like being conscious on Saturdays!”

 

The pink and the blonde haired Kunoichi walked into view from the hallway with Lee close behind.

 

“Hi guys, what's with the visit, I thought you'd be checking up on Gaara about now,” Cassie smiled, as per usual.

 

Temari gave a look that said `please don't remind me' before answering with an annoyed grunt, “He ran off again. Kankuro's out looking for him.”

 

“He won't go far,” sighed Cassie, “but you won't find him until he wants to be found.”

 

“Don't remind us, it's hard enough to try and help someone who doesn't want to be helped without being reminded,” Sakura was just as vexed as Temari. “But we came here to check up on you, Cassie-chan. You're boss told us that you've been getting sick every morning and it's been messing up your eating habits. I thought I'd just come see if you were alright while I had the time.”

 

“Oh, you don't need to worry about me Sakura. It's just a little cold nothing to worry about…” Right on queue the nausea started to return and Cassie clamped her hand over her mouth as she rushed back up the stairs, “shit!”

 

The ill dark haired teen barely made it back to the bathroom in time, and she could clearly hear the loud thunder of footsteps following her up to the bathroom. She cursed again, but she couldn't bring herself to leave the bathroom before everyone caught up to her.

 

“Don't need to worry about you, right, Cassie you need to admit when you need help once in a while,” Temari chided as she rubbed her friend's back, “I don't know whether you have a complex or what, but you never seem to know when you are sick.”

 

Cassie groaned, “Temari, I'm fine, it's a cold…”

 

“You don't hug porcelain like that when you have a cold,” point out Temari, “don't you remember when we first met? Gaara dragged you into the house sick as a dog because you overworked yourself?”

 

“That sounds like Cassie alright,” Sakura said as she motioned to Temari to move. The pinkette place a hand on Cassandra's stomach and allowed her healing chakra to flow into her friend. Waves of warm energy flowed into Cassie's abdomen to sooth the sick feelings in her stomach, but as it did a concerned look crossed Sakura's face. Out of curiosity Sakura made her chakra probe a little deeper to look for anything out of the ordinary.

 

Temari saw the concerned look on Sakura's face first, “Is there something wrong?”

 

Sakura stood up rigidly and walked to the bathroom door where Gina and Lee were watching, “Private conversation. Time for the two of you to go downstairs.”

 

“But Sakura-chan-”

 

“Lee, you woke up Gina so you apologize and make her some breakfast. We have some female problems here,” snapped the pinkette Kunoichi.

 

Gina looked offended, “And what am I?”

 

“The person keeping Lee downstairs while Cassie, Temari, and I talk, now go.” With that Sakura slammed the door shut, turned the lock, and turned to Cassie with a scary serious face.

 

“Not that I'm complaining or anything, but why am I still here if this is supposed to be a private conversation?” asked Temari.

 

“Because it concerns you're brother,” Sakura replied shortly, “Cassie, how long have you been sick like this?”

 

“Just a few days,” answered Cassie timidly.

 

“Around the same time every day?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Do strong smells and foods make you nauseous?”

 

“Yes,” the raven haired teen answered yet again, “where are you going with this?”

 

“One more question,” assured Sakura with a small pause before continuing, “When was the last time you had your period?”

 

Cassie's stomach felt like it dropped ten stories, she did not like where she thought these questions were going. “December I think, but its not like my cycle is very regular. Sometimes I'm a week or so late…”

 

Sakura didn't want to ask it, but they all knew Cassie wouldn't be the one to admit it. “But … did you have sex since then.”

 

“…” It took only seconds for Cassie's face to heat up and resemble an overripe tomato, but it wasn't like she needed to actually answer the question. The look on her face said it all.

 

“Whoa, wait a minute, what…?” Temari wasn't sure what to say, and she began turning a little red in the cheeks herself just from thinking about it. The blonde Kunoichi had a pretty good idea where the little confrontation was going, but she wouldn't believe it until she actually heard Sakura say it.

 

“Cassandra, you're pregnant.”

 

When she heard it Cassandra turned and threw up into the toilet once again, and Temari had to brace herself against the counter.

 

“Y-you're positive about that, Sakura-chan?” Cassie asked in a quivering voice. “There isn't a chance you could be mistaken?”

 

“Any medic-nin worth her rank can use chakra to see inside people to find out what is making them sick. All the signs are there, the hormone levels, the morning sickness, and everything else. There is no denying it, you're pregnant, and I think we can all guess who the father is…” Sakura trailed off slowly.

 

`This isn't happening, this isn't happening…' Cassie took in deep breaths to calm her stomach, but nothing could help the way her heart was pounding, it felt as though it was going to break its way through her ribs. She was pregnant and Gaara never even remembered meeting her? What was she supposed to do? Would Gaara even regain his memories at all whenever Faceless was driven out? How was she supposed to explain it to her family? There were too many questions and too few answers. It was enough to bring the heavy weight of stress onto anyone's shoulders, so you can just imagine how it would affect a sixteen-year-old girl.

 

“Are we going to tell someone or are we keep this under wraps for a while?” Temari asked, sensing Cassie's growing uneasiness.

 

All eyes were on poor little Cassie who was sitting in the corner by the toilet should she start feeling sick again. It was her baby, her choice, and her call on who they would allow to know about the pregnancy.

 

“Don't tell my Dad or brother quite yet,” she finally spoke softly to her friends, “my father would go strait for the liquor cabinet and Hale would go for Gaara. It would be chaos.”

 

“I guess we can rule out Gina and Hana too then,” Agreed Sakura, “What about Kankuro?”

 

Temari almost laughed, “Not if you don't want Gaara to know he's a father without even remembering Cassie. Are we going to tell Lee or Sasuke?”

 

Sakura shrugged, “It would probably be a good idea. Sasuke is good at keeping secrets and Lee … well, Lee is Lee, and you know if he makes a promise he'll keep it. Otherwise we'll see him running half a million laps around the village. Besides it might be good to have at least one person around this house know, just for observation purposes.”

 

“He'll flip, I can see him overreacting and trying to `look after' me,” Cassie forced a small laugh, but even someone who mastered the `mask' can run into a situation where they just don't have it in them to fake an emotion.

 

`In my dream, back when Faceless took over, that little boy with the dark copper hair… He was the one that helped me wake up,' Cassie's hand rested on her stomach as her friends continued to talk. She wasn't listening to a word that they were saying; she just sat on the floor remembering the little boy's face. His messy hair that shone dark red in the sun, his innocent little face, and those bright green eyes that so closely resembled Gaara's were all features of the boy she could never forget. `…My son…'

Teehee, a lot of you already saw that one coming, but it's great all the same! Gaara's gonna be a daddy! (Runs around screaming) oh, he better start remembering soon or there is definitely going to be a few problems.

Just because I'm so nice I am gonna give you a spoiler if there ever is going to be a sequel to the story. I made a Second Gen. Sand siblings photo with Gaara's kids! It's in my artwork (it says by starchip13 because that's my name for me other sites) so check it out and review on it.
