“You need a what,” Tsunade asked in disbelief.

 

“Sakura needs a pregnancy test,” Hinita replied when Sakura just turned scarlet.

 

Tsunade grinned, “Ok then but do I get to know who the daddy is if she is pregnant? You know I am very curious I didn't know she was seeing anyone.”

 

What am I doing here, Sakura thought desperately, I have spent the last weeks just trying to make it all go away and now half the village will know? Damn why did I have to open my big mouth back at the house…

 

“Tsunade we need you to be able to keep quiet about it,” Hinita said softly seeing that Sakura was already close to tears. She quickly explained what had happened to Sakura back at the party those weeks back, and all the things that had been happening recently as earlier that day.

 

Tsunade's jaw dropped in disbelief, “Sakura you never told-”

 

“No I haven't,” Sakura said quickly, “Now I just need to get the test taken and I want to go home.”

 

“Ok,” Tsunade still sounded pretty unsure but agreed to do the test for her anyway, “I'll have to get back to you with the results though. It will take me a day or so, today is a bit busier than before.”

Kakashi was sitting up in a tree just outside the training grounds reading his Come Come Paradise book. It was how he spent most of his time, whenever he was not on a mission.

 

He had been there for quite some time when he heard someone come through the bushes. He looked up for a moment over the top of his book and saw the young woman with long flowing pink hair. It was Sakura, but the look on her face instantly told Kakashi something was wrong. Tears were falling freely from her eyes and rolling down her perfect cheeks and every once and a while a small choked up sob would escape her throat.

 

She didn't seem to have any idea that Kakashi was in the tree when she sat against the truck of the tree and buried her face in her knees.

 

I wonder, Kakashi thought putting away his book. At first he just sat up on his branch looking down on the girl until her crying had slowed somewhat. He took a deep breath, he knew woman were sensitive when they were upset and he had to admit to himself the only things he knew about woman were what he read from his books and that would definitely not help.

 

“How many times have I told you not to let your guard down Sakura,” Kakashi called lazily.

 

The girl looked up in surprise at her old Sensei trying to wipe the remaining tears from her face, “How long have you been watching me Kakashi?”

 

He just shrugged, “A little while I guess. What is wrong?”

 

Sakura looked away from Kakashi and didn't answer; she was getting pretty sick of answering questions left and right. She would have to talk to Sasuke and Naruto when they got back from their missions too. It was too much for her to handle, all she really wanted to be alone for a while, but it seemed to be too much to ask of fate.

 

“Come on Sakura,” Kakashi sighed jumping down from the tree and sitting down beside her, “Is it so bad that you wouldn't trust me enough to tell me anything? We are friends aren't we?”

 

Sakura shrugged, she had never really thought about that, “Ya I guess.”

 

“Then you know you can trust me.”

 

Not sure where to start Sakura took a deep breath, she kept opening her mouth to speak but every time she had the words in her head they left her. She wanted to say something but her mind just seemed to be stuck until she finally blurted the first thing that came into her head, “I'm pregnant!”

 

Kakashi's eye widened in surprised, and now it was his turn to be lost for words.

 

Seeing her former Sensei's stunned looked Sakura started crying again, “I went to Tsunade the other day to get a test done and it came out positive! I wasn't sick that day it was morning sickness!”

 

The Jounin was still too lost for words to speak at all and continued to stare.

 

“Say something damn it,” Sakura spat in frustration.

 

“W-who is the father,” he asked quietly.

 

“I d-don't know…”

 

He must think I am a total slut now, Sakura sobbed harder, when I start looking pregnant people will ask questions…everyone will think the same thing. And I thought that morning woke up was the worst moment of my life? This is way worse!

 

Kakashi sunk back against the tree and sighed trying to clear his mind, he found right then he would rather be battling ninjas than comforting a hysterical girl. At least he knew how to kick ass in battle.

 

“Have you thought about what you are going to do with the baby,” he whispered.

 

Sakura shook her head, “I have been to busy panicking.”

 

“It's probably something you should think about, I know it's hard but it's true,” Kakashi whispered rubbing Sakura's back in an attempt to calm her, “If you don't think you're ready then you could put it up for adoption. But remember if you decide to keep it then I want you to know you won't be alone in it. You have friends that will always be there to help, which means I would be there to help you whenever you need it.”

 

“Thanks,” Sakura wiped her eyes with her sleeve, “But what do I tell it when he or she asks where the father is?”

 

“We can cross that bridge when we come to it, but for now you have a decision that you never should have been settled with in the first place.”

 

Sakura took in a sharp breath and leaned against Kakashi, “Why does everything have to be so hard? I can take going on those crazy missions again but this is completely out of control. I don't know what I'm supposed to do…”

 

Kakashi could feel his cheeks grow hot and thanked Kami that he always had a mask on, “Everything will work out in the end Sakura I promise.”

 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

She could barely make sense of anything but she recognized that she was coming up to her apartment building. Usually coming home made her feel happy but this time Sakura felt her heart drop, what if he left her? Sakura didn't want to be alone again she wouldn't be able to stand it.

 

Sakura tightened her grip on the man's shirt and promised herself not to let go, she would never let him leave her.

 

The man pressed his lips to Sakura's head, “Sakura…”

 

“Never leave me alone,” she whispered to him, “I don't want to be alone anymore.”

 

“I'll always be there for you Sakura never forget that,” his voice was soft and soothing to Sakura and made her feel like she could float away.

 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

These dreams, Sakura thought as her mind started waking up, I know they are some form of memory but…I can never see his face. My vision is too blurred to see much more than shapes, I must have been drunker than I thought. But I know somewhere in my mind I knew who he was; I just wish I could remember…

 

Sakura stretched and sat up in bed, “Please tell me everything has just been one very big nightmare…”

 

For the last two months Sakura had always asked herself that but now that she was getting to be three months pregnant it was starting to get harder to forget.

 

Sighing deeply Sakura got herself out of bed and caught a glimpse of herself in the full sized mirror in her room. It was not severely noticeable quiet yet but Sakura could see it all too plainly. Looking at herself sideways she lifted up her pajama shirt and saw her stomach was only just starting to bulge out. It depressed her slightly looking at it because she had always prided herself on a beautiful flat stomach, she still had somewhat little tummy but there was no doubt it was getting bigger. She noticed her breasts had also grown somewhat, she knew it was all part of the changes, she had heard everything she needed to know about it from Tsunade only half a dozen times.

 

Nobody knew about her problem yet outside of her small group of close friends, and Naruto and Sasuke hadn't come back yet from their latest mission. They had been gone for about two and a half months and were expected back any day, which meant neither of them knew about the fact Sakura was `with child'.

 

The third month of the rest of my pregnancy, Sakura thought bitterly, I swear if I find the father of this child I will kill him for doing this to me.

 

“Why am I having a sudden craving for ice cream,” Sakura asked herself looking into the mirror, I am starting to eat more than usual already. Great half the weight I gain will be my own not this kid's.

 

Glancing at the clock and reading that it said 9:15, she was supposed to meet her friends at Ino's so they could go welcome the boys home after such a long mission. Thing was she didn't feel as perky and ready to go as she usually did in the morning, normally she was good about mornings but lately she had been choosing to sleep in later and later.

 

Then after I bury the father of this child the ass who invented morning wake up calls is next.

 

After showering Sakura decided to put on a bagger outfit than she normally wore, one that would hide her stomach which she was growing increasingly more paranoid about, if this is what I look like after only three months by the time the ninth comes I am going to look like a whale. No amount of cloths will hide it sooner or later.

 

Putting on a pair of her baggier black shorts that were almost cargo style and a men's sized tank top she combed her hair so it hid most of her face. She hated the cloths she was wearing; she only ever used them for exercising or training never for going out.

 

Holding her forefinger to her temple like she was using a gun she flicked her thumb like she was shooting herself.

 

The clock now read 9:35 which gave her only ten minutes to get to Ino's, great I have been hanging around Kakashi to much I'm starting to pick up his bad habit of being late.

 

It was true; ever since the day she admitted to Kakashi she was pregnant she seemed to be running into him a bit more often. Sakura was not sure whether he was just doing it on purpose to check up on her but she found lately she didn't mind his company as much. He was always asking if she needed anything and being so sweet…

 

Sakura could visibly see her cheeks begin to turn a slight shade of pink as she looked into the mirror, what am I thinking? I don't like Kakashi that way; he was my teacher it would be way to weird…

 

Shaking away the strange thoughts Sakura grabbed her purse and made a dash for the door, she had to really hurry if she wasn't going to be late.

 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

“Where is Sakura,” Ino glanced at her watch getting increasingly more annoyed with every minute she was late.

 

“Calm down she will be here you know she wouldn't miss a chance to welcome the boys home after they have been gone so long,” reassured Hinita.

 

Both girls sat on the railing of the apartment balcony looking out at the village that was just waking up below them. The morning was warm and rather humid but there was a nice breeze that blew past them as they awaited the arrival of their friend Sakura. Ino lived on the fourth floor so she had a good view.

 

“Hey guys,” Sakura called up to her friends from the ground, “Come on I'm here!”

 

“Well it's about time, did you sleep in again you lazy girl,” Ino laughed crossing her arms in slight annoyance.

 

“Just hurry up and get down here to we can go get the men,” Sakura laughed.

 

Hinita giggled, “I swear you two are worse than when Sasuke and Naruto fight.”

 

Ino and Hinita hurried down the stairwell and they were off.

 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

“Naruto stop stuffing your face,” Sasuke snapped trying to take Naruto's bowl from him but failed miserably. It seemed that when it came to his ramen Naruto was more serious than in battle, nobody dared separate him from a good bowl of ramen.

 

“I'm almost done just give me half a second,” Naruto said between bites of noodles.

 

Sasuke shook his head; this was Naruto's third bowl since they had gotten back, twenty minutes ago. They had not been able to find the girls so of course Naruto insisted they go to the ramen stand and wait for them there. He kept insisting that the girls knew enough about him to find them in his favourite spot. It was true enough but also more annoying than anything else Sasuke could think of.

 

“There you are,” Ino squealed running up to Sasuke and giving him a big hug.

 

Sasuke didn't have enough time to react and nearly got the wind knocked out of him by his currently hyperactive girlfriend.

 

Hinita gave Naruto a much gentler hug, “We knew you two would be here when we couldn't find you.”

 

Naruto slurped up the rest of his ramen from the bowl, “We waited but you never came, why took you so long?”

 

“I slept in,” Sakura laughed at the couples' display, “Sorry about that.”

 

“You,” Naruto said in surprise, “That is odd the Sakura I knew was always were prompt and punctual. I don't think I have ever seen you late for anything.”

 

“I sleep in one time and the world comes to a halt,” Sakura muttered ordering her own bowl of pork ramen. “Its no big deal you know,” she muttered through rather large bites of ramen, “Hey this is actually pretty good…”

 

“Whoa I think you should slow down a bit Sakura your starting to loose some of that girlish figure,” Naruto smirked.

 

She nearly choked on a large bite of her meal and shot of death glare at Naruto, Oh I am going to kill him. I swear I will kick him right in the-

 

“Naruto,” Hinita said warningly, “There is something you should know.”

 

“Not here,” Sakura snapped discarding her empty bowl.

 

The men explained confused looks but out of curiosity agreed to follow the girls back to Ino's apartment. They asked, well actually Naruto, kept asking what Sakura was so angry about and what he had said to make her so upset. Of course he only kept making it worse by opening his big mouth.

 

“Shut up Naruto,” Sakura muttered as the gang walked into Ino's apartment and turned on the lights.

 

“I can't apologies if I don't know what the hell I said,” he countered closing the door behind them.

 

“Do you want me to tell them or do you want to,” Hinita asked sympathetically.

 

Sakura shrugged and walked into the kitchen, the last thing she wanted was to be around to see their faces. It would only make her feel worse about herself and what happened.

 

Holding up three fingers Sakura counted down the seconds, “Three…”

 

She could hear Hinita's soft voice explaining what happened the night of the party.

 

“Two…”

 

Next she explained the current situation. Everything to do with the pregnancy, explaining why Sakura snapped at Naruto, etc.

 

“One…”

 

Here comes the pity parade, Sakura thought bitterly.

 

Right on cue the boys came in, Hinita and Ino close behind them to keep them from saying anything to insensitive. Both men had concerned looks on their faces and their jaws had dropped further than anyone had thought possible.

 

“Sakura how come you never told us any of this,” Naruto asked half yelling.

 

“Because I knew you all would start freaking out on me,” Sakura muttered.

 

Sasuke shook his head, “Sakura what do you expect us to do? If you had told us sooner then maybe we could have helped you track this asshole down and now we hear you're pregnant with this guy's kid?”

 

“Guys I don't need this,” she yelled finally snapping under all the pressure, “Ok you guys have no idea what all of this is doing to me. I thought I could make that night just disappear but it's not going to its always going to be there!”

 

Before another word could be said in the matter Sakura got up and left the apartment. No one dared follow her to where ever she was going; they all decided it was best to let Sakura cool off before anyone talking to her. That way when they did get to her she would not bite anyone's head off.
