As dusk approached, Sakura walked towards her parent's home with her doctors coat still in tact, holding onto the bag of teas she was given earlier on. Her face showed severe distress, feeling that she can't hold the tears for long. Though as strong as she was, she continued walking ahead without a single tear stream down onto her face. Walking along towards the long road that took her to her destination, you can faintly smell nato, a popular dish that's been greatly known in Konohagakure for several decades. Passing by restaurants and hangouts, she can clearly hear the laugh of ninja close by, seeing as all the lights from residents, communities and restaurants began to turn on from the outside. Night is appearing at the blink of an eye, but in reality, Sakura just hasn't noticed her slow pace. Just then, she finally reached her parent's home, as the sky veiled itself in black and the stars found their place in the sky. She stood in front of the tall complex that she once lived herself in before moving out. Knocking onto the door slightly, she heard a yell.
"COMING!"
Sakura knew her mother (Mebuki) was just as hot-headed and loud as she was, so it would become to no surprise that her father (Kizashi) or Mebuki's husband might have pissed her off in some sort of way with either his clumsiness or his rather horrible puns. As Mebuki opened the door, she carried along a large wooden stick as she still had her cooking robe. Mebuki's face showed irritation, since of course it seemed that Kizashi might have done something careless once again, but that all changed when seeing Sakura right in front of her. Sakura just stood emotionless with her face covered in dry up tears.
"Sakura..." Mebuki answered in such shock, knowing that something must have happened to her daughter to react so lifeless in front of her.
She's never seen Sakura such in dismay as she did now, as if she's withered.
"O-okaa-san..." She whispered as she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Mebuki's heart ached, and immediately embraced her only child tightly. She heard her silent weeps, and patted her back showing concern.
"There there. Let's get you inside." Her mother replied as she pulled away from Sakura and brought into their home.
Kizashi turned towards the entrance and immediately placed his remote control down as he walked towards Sakura in a quick mannered pace while holding onto his old wooden cane.
"HAAAAAH? SAKURA'S CRYING!?" He shouted with such surprise.
It was then that his facial expressions turned sour. Anger seemed to be veiling his mind, thinking of only one cause of her suffering.
"WAS IT THAT UCHIHA? I'LL GO OVER TO HIS HOUSE AND BEAT HIM TO ASHES!" He yelled as he was immediately smacked across the head by Mebuki with her wooden spoon she picked right back up.
"We should find out what actually happened before things get out of hand!" She demanded while raising her voice.
Sakura's tears resumed, only to feel disheartened and filled with remorse. Sakura's objective was to live a life in happiness, to be able to marry the man she loves, and live her own life until death. Though in just a few minutes, everything seemed to have changed for the worse. Everything she planned seemed to have flown out the door. Not only has she lost Sasuke because of his careless pride, but now the small life she carries will see her as both mother and father since the child is considered an abomination by it's own kind. Sakura thought differently from the time she found out she was pregnant, feeling and knowing this child will bring happiness to her and the ones that love him/her dearly.
"I'm sorry.." She replied to both of them as she wiped but her wet cheeks did not dry.
"For what?" Mebuki questioned calmly?
Her parents embraced Sakura at the same time as Kizashi spoke while trying not to shed any tears himself.
"Everyone cries for a reason!" He stated pridefully as his voice began to hear raspy.
"I'm going to get that Uchiha!" He thought to himself, still thinking that Sasuke's was the main problem to her suffering. The name 'Uchiha Sasuke' irritates him more than someone scratching onto bare chalkboard. He's never liked Sasuke from the day he found out about their relationship.
As the family pulled away from their embrace, both Mebuki and Kizashi held Sakura's hands and walked her towards the white family couch in which she sat down silently, placing the bag of teas onto the oval shaped coffee table. Removing her shoes since she hasn't done that right in the entrance, her mother looked at Sakura and brought her a pair of slippers. Everyone seemed to be quiet as Kizashi sat onto the single couch, only to hear the pots whistling since Mebuki was cooking while the television was still on.
"Warm milk?" She asked Sakura as she kindly declined.
Mebuki's heart shattered, not to mention Kizashi's as they continued to see Sakura that way. Mebuki sat at the end of the couch, crossing her arms while holding her wooden spoon and asked Sakura.
"It was Sasuke isn't it?" She asked about her situation as Sakura looked down and nodded slowly.
"I…" She whispered as there seem to be much more than just Sasuke being the situation.
"Hm?" Mebuki questioned.
"I-I…" She began to stutter from becoming more nervous, knowing her father would probably become enraged once hearing she's pregnant.
Though, it was then that she had no need to say it anymore, as her mother guessed completely right.
"You're pregnant aren't you?" Mebuki asked as Kizashi gave out a squealing gasp as he couldn't believe Mebuki's question.
"DON'T TRY TO SCARE U-"
"Yes." Sakura responded as she looked up, feeling her tears dry onto her face once again.
Kizashi was left cold, and his face grew very pale.
"T-that Uchiha got you pregnant!?" He asked in such a shocked state as Sakura nodded her head.
Mebuki looked up at Sakura and asked.
"Did he do anything wrong?"
Sakura faked a smile as last of her tears began to form onto her face again.
"He said that he was chosen to become hokage." She stated.
Her parents were shocked to hear this, but knew there was more of a story to go on once Sakura's fake smile withered.
" Because of our circumstances, theres no chance for us." She repeatedly stated what the Uchiha told her earlier on.
Just about a few seconds later, she managed to speak up the most painful part.
It would just be an abomination
"It would just be an abomination." She repeated as those words came in mind over and over again.
"Our child."
Mebuki and Kizashi both knew what it was meant towards immediately.
"Does he know you're expecting?" Mebuki asked.
"No." Replied Sakura in a soft whisper.
"It's better off that way." Kizashi replied in such an angered manner yet upsetting.
"All that child needs in his life is his mother, grandma, and grandpa!" His answered raising his voice as tears formed onto his eyes.
He looked down as he covered his own eyes and began to weep from both happiness and sadness. Mebuki walked over him and leaned onto his shoulders while she looked at Sakura.
"He's right." She answered while looking at her idiot but caring husband.
"All that child needs is us." Mebuki smiled towards Sakura as a small stream of tears appeared onto her face as well.
Sakura nodded her head as the last of her tears dried. She felt relieved, yet upset of all.
"Now." Mebuki replied as she began to rub both Sakura and Kizashi's back at the same time to stop them crying.
"We should be more excited of all that we're going to have another family member." The nonchalant woman smiled happily as she wiped her tears off her own face.
"I'M GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER." Kizashi cried out as he began to hug Sakura tightly.
Sakura closed her eyes, and hugged him back as her cheeks grew a light blush. As Mebuki looked at the time, she smiled at Sakura.
"How about you stay here for the night and talk about future plans?" She questioned Sakura. Sakura nodded in agreement.
"Mn."
