Road to Parenthood: Breaking the news!

Sakura looked at the kit impatiently. She counted each second in her head. 'The box says 2 minutes. Argh this has to be the longest 2 minutes in the history of mankind!' Sakura thought to herself, exasperated.

It had been over 15 minutes she locked herself in the bathroom. She was just hoping Sasuke doesn't come knocking in. She shook the kit anxiously hoping it would speed up the process, but in no vain. All she could do was wait. Slowly an image started forming and it tuned into a plus sign.

She stared at the kit in disbelief. 'I'm pregnant.' She kept telling herself repeatedly. She looked at herself in the mirror. 'I'm pregnant' She repeated. Slowly a smile filled her face, 'I'M PREGNANT SHANNARO!' Her inner self said in triumph.

'Shuu' She calmed herself.

'How do I tell Sasuke-kun?' She thought.

'Just tell him you are pregnant.' Her inner self responded.

'No that's too direct.'

'So what? He is only going to be happy with this news.'

'Yeah still.. I have to be subtle. He won't be disappointed, but given he is Sasuke-kun I don't know how he will react.'

'So just say you are late.'

'Yeah! That should do it. Okay.' Sakura let out a little breath, braced herself, unlocked the door and let herself out.

Sasuke was sitting by the window sill, reading his paper while he had his morning tea.

Sakura walked a little closer to him.

"Sasuke-kun.."

"Hn." Sasuke said without faltering his attention from the paper.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said demanding for attention.

Sasuke turned his head towards her direction and just looked at her waiting for her to continue.

"Sasuke-kun I'm…mm.." She shifted her gaze from his eyes.

"What is it Sakura?" Sasuke asked with a frown on his face, he was starting to lose patience.

The tone of his voice made her jump and she just blurted out, "I'm late!"

Sakura saw Sasuke's tense face relax. He continued to look at her without any evident expression. 'He is shocked. That's normal. He will give some sort of a reaction now.' She waited for his response as she uneasily shifted on her spot.

"So what are you waiting for? Get going." Sasuke said and turned his attention back to the paper.

'Huh?!' Sakura was thrown back by the reaction.

"Sasuke-kun, you don't understand. I'm late late. You know." She blushed and avoided eye contact.

"So wasting your time her telling me how late you are won't make you any less late." Sasuke said as he turned to the next page of the newspaper.

Now Sakura was starting to lose her patience. She clenched her fist. 'Calm down Sakura.' She told herself.

Sasuke turned to her as he sensed her chakra boiling up. Ever since they were wed, Sasuke, who was usually very distant to reciprocating feelings, had been working on moving past responding with just hn's and ah's.

He wasn't sure what she was getting angry about. 'Maybe this is one of those times she wants me to communicate more.'

"Sakura if being late bothers you so much maybe you should spend less time in the bathroom and hurry up and get going." He said looking at her, thinking his contribution to the topic will make her happy.

Sakura controlled her clenched fist, gritted her teeth and looked straight into his eyes, a look that could kill.

Sasuke was taken aback by the reaction. "What?" is all he could utter.

"I'M PREGNANT! I'M FUCKING PREGNANT! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW SASUKE –KUN?!" Sakura exploded, shaking with her hands in fury.

Sasuke froze. Not from the reaction Sakura gave, but from the words that she said. "You're…pregnant?" he asked in disbelief.

Sakura finally calmed down, she gave out a sigh and finally smiled and said. "Yes I am pregnant."

Sasuke got up and slowly walked towards her, he held her by her shoulders. "Are you serious?" He said still in shock.

"Yes Sasuke-kun." She said as she smiled benevolently as she sensed the happiness behind all that shock.

"You are having a baby…" Sasuke said finally letting a smile cross his face.

Sakura shook her head sideways, "No. WE are having a baby."

Sasuke embraced her gently, avoiding too much pressure. "We are having a baby. A Uchiha."

Sakura rubbed his back lovingly, she knew how much this meant to him. They hadn't planned this but she always knew whenever it were to happen, he would be ecstatic.

"Thank you." He whispered and withdrew himself from her and gave her a gentle kiss. "We must celebrate!" He said overjoyed, very unlike Sasuke. Sakura shook her head in agreement.

"But after you get back. You should get going, you were late weren't you?" Sasuke said.

Sakura looked at him, "Sasuke- kun" she sighed in defeat. "You are not too smart for a proclaimed genius."

Sasuke looked at her bewildered, still oblivious.
