Author's notes

Hello everybody! I'm back! So, um, yeah, this is a story idea I've been entertaining for awhile, and just now decided to actually write. It's probably a mistake to start two chapter stories at the same time, seeing as I have a hard enough time updating one...But, alas, my muse doesn't think about these things, so here we go! Oh, and sorry if its written a little weird, I haven't written in third POV in a long time, so I'm a little rusty...

Warning: Shohen-ai, rusty writing...um...I'm not really sure whatelse, if I think of anything, I'll let you know

Disclamor: Okay, seriously, it's getting depressing to write this out every time- We're on FANfiction...if you can't figure out that I'm nothing but an obsessed fan, then I'm not sure you should be allowed on a computer...

Dedicated to: miserygirl, because she's an awesome reviewer and wanted an original story from me!

Ring!

Sasuke glared at the phone. Someone-he wasn't sure who- kept calling, then hanging up as soon as he picked up the phone. They had been doing it every twenty minutes for the past three hours. This time, however, he decided to let it ring.

Ring!

It was probably some telemarketer, having a hard day at their job. Or, more likely, some crazed fangirl had gotten his phone number and decided to try it, but kept chickening out. He shivered from the thought.

Ring!

Of course, if it was some fangirl, she was a new one. Most of the ones he knew had been very….eager to talk to him and would have stayed and started to babble in his ear the second he picked up. There was always the chance it wasn't the same number, but he had a feeling it was.

Ring!

"Hey, this is Naruto and Sasuke's, leave a message after the beep!"

"Um, hey Naruto….This is Sakura…." Sasuke frowned lightly. The name was so familiar.

"I know you probably weren't expecting to hear from me again….and I wasn't expecting to call…and so many times too!" He knew it had been the same number!

"Sorry 'bout that….but, anyways, um...I know I wasn't supposed to call you…but…uh…okay, there's no easy way to say this, so I'll just do it!" He heard her take a deep breath, and his scowl intensified. "I'm pregnant." He felt his heart stop. "It's yours too, I haven't…I mean…you're the only one that fits…so...just, uh…give me a call when you get this."

Sasuke thought he heard the answering machine click, but with the ringing in his ears he wasn't sure. This-this girl was pregnant with Naruto's kid, but they had been going steady since he was fifteen. He rushed from the room and into their bedroom, remembering where he knew that name from. He stopped in front of one of the bookcases and ran his fingers along twelve years worth of yearbooks, randomly pulling out one of the later years.

The name Sakura was pretty unusual, so for a name like that to be familiar he must have known her. High school was his best bet, so he flipped through their junior year and flipped through it, skimming the names until he found her.

As soon as he saw her face he remembered her. All through elementary and middle school him and Sakura had been best friends, and had both admired Naruto, three years their senior. When high school had started, she began to hang with the cheerleaders and populars, while he had finally found the courage to talk to Naruto. He had seen her almost everyday after that, but apart from the occasional "hi", they had never talked again. Sasuke had thought she'd moved away, but apparently he'd been wrong.

A stab of pain tore through him, and he returned the book to the shelf and walked back into the living room/kitchen and sat down in his favorite chair. Originally, back before they moved in together, it had been Naruto's, but now it was claimed by Sasuke. Old and worn, its dark purply-pink cloth covered in stains and tears, but that was why he loved it. Unlike everything that he had grown up with, this had character and love, things he valued highly.

Numb, Sasuke sat there, waiting until Naruto got home. Hours later he heard the tell-tale thumping of his feet down the hall, then saw him walk through the door smiling. His smile faded when he saw the look on his loves face. Instantly he was at his side and had Sasuke's face between two warn, tan hands.

"What's the matter?" He asked, his baby-blue eyes shinning with concern.

"I don't feel well." Sasuke rasped. Naruto frowned.

"Hang on, I'll go get you some tea." He gently pecked Sasuke's lips then stood, walking into the kitchen, he absently clicked on the blinking answering machine.

"Um, hey Naruto….This is Sakura…." Naruto froze.

"I know you probably weren't expecting to hear from me again….and I wasn't expecting to call…and so many times too! Sorry 'bout that….but, anyways, um...I know I wasn't supposed to call you…but…uh…okay, there's no easy way to say this, so I'll just do it! I'm pregnant." He unfroze and jumped at the machine, unplugging it before her thought was finished. He slowly turned to look at Sasuke, fear clearly displayed.

"Did…you…um…" Sasuke nodded, not trusting his voice to stay level. Naruto walked slowly over to him and sat on the couch next to him.

"Listen, Sasuke…It's not what you think!" He began.

"Then what is it, huh? Did she mean some other Naruto?" Sasuke let his anger overpower his grief and stared expectantly at Naruto. The blonde looked startled at the sudden change in attitude.

"Well, I mean, I guess it is…But Sasuke, I can explain!"

"No, you know what, save it." Sasuke stood and stormed out, slamming his door on the way. Naruto stared at the door with tears in his eyes.

"Sasuke…"


Just so we're clear, as much as it seems like it, this isn't actually a Sakura-bashing fic...
