Chapter 13: Kai-Lee Uchiha

"Oh look how cute." Sakura said as she held up a small pink onesie. On the center of the chest was an embroidered patch of the Uchiha fan.

"You're little girl is going to look so cute in that." Ten Ten said smiling from ear to ear. Sakura smiled back excitedly.

"Ok, this one is from me and Tsunade-sama." Shizune said handing a large box to Sakura. The young pregnant woman leaned forward and took the box, doing her best to place it on her lap.

She peeled the tape off and ripped off the pretty blue paper, revealing a brown card board box underneath. She opened the flaps of the box to reveal, multiple viles and bottles of herbs, colored liquids and powders.

"It's your own supply of medical ingredients for the baby." Tsunade explained.

"Perfect." Sakura said. "Now I can treat her at home."

"This is so exciting." Ino said. "You're the first of us all to have children."

"Yea, but I have a feeling all of you won't be to far behind." Sakura replied chuckling.

"What do you think the guys are up to?" Ten Ten asked.

"Probably sitting around, drinking beer and talking about nothing in particular." Temari joked. They all laughed.

"Heads up!" Naruto yelled flipping backwards to avoid a few throwing stars. Sasuke did the same jumping up into the tree to his left.

"Not getting away that easily." Sai murmured dodging Neji's gentle fists and jumping up into the tree as well. The branches rustled and leaves fell from the branches before Sasuke and Sai came tumbling out.

Without a second though they jumped to their feet and took a fighting stance against each other. Before either could throw a punch, Sasuke was thrown forward into Sai and both went tumbling in the opposite direction.

They looked up from the ground to see Naruto standing above them laughing. They looked at each other and silently agreed.

Jumping to their feet Sasuke and Sai charged Naruto sending him flying back twice as far. Now it was their turn to laugh as Naruto landed in the spring to their right.

"Time!" Jiraya yelled from the side lines gaining everyone's attention.

The five boys relaxed.

Sasuke walked over to Naruto and helped him up out of the water, then they both made their way over to the rest of the group.

"Great job, gentlemen." Jiraya said as Naruto and Sasuke sat down with the group.

Sakura took a deep breath as she set a few plates in the sink. She was suddenly feeling nauseas and tired. She took another deep breath fighting the feeling.

Suddenly pain shot through her abdomen nearly bring her to her knees.

"Shishio!" Sakura yelled as the pain continued.

Tsunade came rushing in the rest of the girls behind her. She knelt beside her young student and asked: "What's wrong, Sakura?"

"I think its time." She moaned in agony.

"Oh my god." Shizune said.

"Shizune, call ahead to the hospital tell them we're coming in. Temari, help me get Sakura up." Tsunade ordered, throwing Sakura's arm around her shoulder. Temari did the same on her other side and they both helped her to her feet. "Hinata, Ten Ten, go find the men, I think their at the training grounds."

"Ok." They answered together.

Another wave of pain, shot through Sakura.

"Oh god." She nearly screamed.

"Hang on hun, we're going to get you to the hospital." Temari said.

"Idiot." Sasuke mumbled as he watched Naruto slurp down and then chock on a bowl of Ramen.

"What do you think the girls are up to?" Sai asked out of the blue.

"Sai, let me give you a little elderly advice." Jiraya said. "When I comes to woman, 99.9 percent of the time, you don't want to know."

"Yea, chances are there talking about us though." Naruto said, slurping up more noodles.

"Probably." Neji agreed.

Before anyone could say anything else their attention was called to Hinata and Ten Ten, running toward them.

"Guys!" Ten Ten yelled. The two woman finally reached them out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked worried.

"It's Sakura, she's gone into labor." Hinata explained out of breath.

"What!" Sasuke exclaimed as he jumped up and ran towards the village.

"Come on, we better go too." Naruto said jumping up and running after him. Hinata sighed, then begrudgingly ran after him.

Sasuke ran through the doors of the maternity ward and looked around hastily.

"Sasuke, over here." Shizune called from down the hall. Sasuke saw her and ran down entering the room she had ducked into.

When he entered the room, he found Sakura lying in the hospital bed with Tsunade on one side of her and Temari on the other. Shizune was writing something down.

Sakura looked over at him as he walked in and smiled.

"Hey." She said. Sasuke walked up to the bed and took Temari's place, holding her hand.

"Hey." He answered. He looked up to see Shizune handing him a wet washcloth. He took it and looked back down at Sakura. Her face was a little flushed and her forehead was drenched in sweat. He took the washcloth and wiped her forehead for her.

"Thank you." She said, smiling lightly at him, before it quickly dropped off her face and she cringed in pain.

"The contractions are getting closer, it shouldn't be to much longer now." Tsunade said. Sakura took a deep nervous breath.

"You ok?" Sasuke asked, holding her hand tighter.

"Just a little nervous." She replied, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Don't be, you're going to be a great mother" he said. Sakura smiled sweetly, cupping his face in her hands.

"And you're going to be a great father." She replied. Sasuke smiled a rare smile, the kind he saved only for her. it soon dropped off his face as Sakura cringed again, only this time a screaming groan accompanied it.

"I think it's time." Tsunade said, positioning herself at the end of the bed.

Sakura's breath quickened harshly as the pain refused to go away.

"Oh god." He gasped.

"Ok, Sakura, get ready to push, on three. 1…2…3..push."

"UUUUURRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!" Sakura groaned as she pushed.

"Good job, I can see the head. Just a few more pushes." Tsunade explained.

"Do you think she's ok, they've been in there for a while?" Hinata asked.

"Sakura's tough, she'll be fine." Naruto replied wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"I hope your right." Ten Ten said, from across the waiting room. "Cause if Sakura can't do it, there's no hope for any of us."

Ino and Temari laughed.

Silence fell among the group of friends. Suddenly the waiting room door swung open and in stepped Shizune. Everyone waited anxiously for her report.

"Sakura and the baby are doing fine. You can all go in and see them now." She said, leading the group to Sakura's room.

Once there they all crowed in and surrounded the bed.

Sakura sat up in the bed, Sasuke by her side. In her arms she held a small pink bundle. In the bundle was a small new born baby girl. Her hair was bright pink like her mother, and her eyes were sparking charcoal like her father.

"Oh, she's so cute." Ino gushed. Sakura smiled.

"What did you name her?" Hinata asked.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Kai-Lee." They replied in unison.

She'd never be forgotten.
