Holding onto what's dear

Chapter nine: Shocking Discoveries

Sakura slowly opened her eyes looking around her as she did, she recognized Itachi's room immediately, and she slowly got up out of his bed pulling the covers up as she did. When she walked to his closet and opened it she recognized her clothes hanging up.

"What the?" Sakura questioned aloud wondering why her clothes were hanging up in Itachi's closet.

"You're living with us." A voice said behind Sakura startling her. Turning around she came face to face with Sasuke.

"Oh, do you know why?" She questioned.

"No, Itachi or Mother wouldn't tell me, you'd have to take it up with one of them. Or maybe Itachi, after all you seem to have gotten pretty close to him." Sasuke said walking off with a sneer. Sakura glowered at him contemplating whether to punch him or leave him alone; she decided on the latter. Leaving Itachi's room she left to go find him, on her search of the house she bumped into Fugaku.

"Haruno, I want to tell you that I don't approve of your relationship with Itachi and it would be wise for you to end it."

"Excuse me, why should I end it just because you don't approve, there is nothing wrong with mine and Itachi's relationship." Sakura seethed turning around to walk away, but as she did Fugaku grabbed her arm pulling her to him where their faces where merely inches apart.

"Listen here Haruno, you will do as I say, if not the consequences will be something you will not enjoy. You are not good for Itachi." Sakura practically ripped her arms from Fugaku's grasp.

"Are you threatening me Uchiha, do you forget who my master is? You have no right to do this. I have done nothing wrong."

"I don't care who your master is, you will stop seeing Itachi, you are not good for him, he is to be the future head of the clan, he needs someone that will listen to him and be obedient, you are neither of those." To say Sakura was pissed was and understatement, she was livid, she was definitely contemplating whether or not to murder the Uchiha right then and there.

"Would you listen to yourself, all you care about is the reputation of the clan, you think the Uchiha clan will look bad if Itachi has a wife that doesn't obey him and come to his every beck and call. Be honest with yourself you just don't want to be an embarrassment, but news flash Uchiha, half the clan thinks that about you, you have two sons and you barely acknowledge your youngest, and your eldest is just a tool that you try to mold to do your biddings. You are a horrible father and leader and you complain about me." After Sakura has let all that out She noticed the murderous look on Fugaku's face, he lifted his hand to send a blow to her face, just as he was about to deliver the strike another hand caught his, Fugaku looked up into the red murderous looking eyes of none other than his eldest child.

Itachi had an enraged face on his usually calm face; he turned to face Sakura, looking straight into her emerald eyes.

"Sakura, please go back to my room." Normally Sakura would argue with Itachi about this, but once she saw the pure hatred that he held in his eyes for his father she turned around and walked to his room. Sakura shut the door of Itachi's room behind her and walked to the bed getting on top of it and waiting for Itachi to return. She was waiting for about thirty minutes when the door opened and Itachi entered. He silently walked over to her, picked her up and got on his bed leaning against the headboard and putting her on his lap.

"Are you doing fine?" Itachi questioned nuzzling Sakura's neck.

"I'm fine, Itachi, truly I am."

"I'm glad you are doing fine, I apologize for what my father has said to you."

"You were listening in?" Sakura questioned running her fingers up and down Itachi's arms.

"Yes, and I hope you do not take what my father said seriously, I love you and you are good for me, you had every right saying what you did to him. On a lighter note I assume you are curious as to why your clothes are in my closet?"

"Yep."

"Tsunade has given her permission for you to live with us, but only for a month, there will be a meeting with the elders for you to permanently live with us, your mother has to be at that meeting. Sakura closed her eyes just thinking over what Itachi just told her, she was brought out of her musing when he cupped her abdomen possessively she looked down at his hands and she realized in that very moment that he knows about the baby.

But how, how does Itachi know? I've never told anyone, not even Tsunade. Argg, I'm betting Shisui found out, he always knows everything about me.

"You know, don't you?" Sakura asked putting her hands over his and leaning further back into him.

"I do. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to and Itachi I was planning on telling you I just didn't know how." Sakura turned around on Itachi's lap where she was now facing him.

"Hn."

"What did you do to your father?" Sakura looked at Itachi and noticed the smirk that adorned his handsome face was full of menace, he just shook his head at her silently telling her that she's not going to find out. Sakura rolled off of Itachi and got off of the bed walking to his closet and opening it, she pulled out her light yellow sun dress and donned it on.

"How far along are you?" Turning her head to face Itachi she smiled a breath taking smile at him. Itachi just kept staring at her with a curious and loving look on his face.

"I my darling am eight weeks along." Itachi got up and walked over to her wrapping his arms around her waist. He nuzzled her neck and Sakura could feel the smile on his face against her neck.

"Sakura you have no idea how happy you have made me, I can honestly say that I am actually thrilled and looking forward to this pregnancy and when the babies born." Giggling at her lovers' enthusiasm Sakura couldn't help but turn around in his arms and give him a peck on his lips.

"My son have you gathered more information on the one Haruno Sakura?" The man with ginger hair and indescribable crystal green eyes, the man put down the book he was reading and looked into his son's blue eyes.

"I have father, I have recently discovered that she is eight weeks pregnant." The father tensed up when he had heard the news his son had brought him.

"Are you absolutely sure?" He questioned slowly breathing in and out to regulate his heartbeat.

"I am father, I heard her and Uchiha Itachi talking about it, also she is living with the Uchiha's as well but only for a month, until the elders say otherwise." The son watched his father slowly calm down.

"Is there a specific reason why she is staying with them?"

"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it has something to do with her mother." Looking into his father's eyes he saw the anger in them, something was definitely off.

"Very well my son, you may be excused." After his father excusing him the son left the compound and walked through the woods that lay beyond his home, he was walking for about three hours until he came upon the house that he desired to be at. He slowly knocked on the door and waited for his knocks to be answered. Once he opened the door and looked straight in the woman's eyes he saw her beautiful blue eyes light up with pleasure.

"Hello brother, I have missed you so, what brings you here?" She embraced him and he did the same.

"I am fine, but I have some important news that I must tell you."

"Okay, come in brother, would you like anything to eat or drink?" She said gesturing him to enter her small abode.

"No I am not hungry, I cannot stay long even though I wish that I could, but father has no knowledge of what I am doing. I only trust you Megan."

To say the man was enraged with the news that his middle child brought him was an understatement, he was murderously pissed off. The man leaned back into the chair that he sat in pondering the news that his child had brought to him. In all honesty he should have done something with the situation that he is currently in years ago, and then maybe none of this would have ever happened. Coming up with his decision the man stood up.

"That's it, it's time that I go to the village hidden in the leaves to have a nice chat with Chikako." He walked out of the room he was in and left the compound and walked towards the woods when he was twelve feet in the woods he stopped, did a couple of hand signs and teleported himself to the place he desired to be at.

Kakashi was having his annual one on one training time with Sasuke; he was observing everything that Sasuke did, today though Kakashi noticed that something was off with his young student. So he decided to ask.

"Sasuke what is it that is bothering you? You are not even trying today." Sasuke stopped what he was doing and looked over at Kakashi.

"Nothing, so stop saying that I am not trying when I am." Watching his student some more he decided another tactic for Kakashi was absolutely sure he knew what was bothering him.

"So are you happy for your brother and Sakura?" Sasuke tensed up at the question that was asked.

"It doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, it's their lives not mine."

"So you're not even a bit happy that you're going to be an uncle?" Once that question was asked Sasuke stopped what he was doing and fully turned his eyes onto his sensei.

"What? An uncle, are you telling me Sakura is pregnant?" Smirking to himself behind his mask Kakashi couldn't help but be amused at Sasuke's reaction.

"Well of course, I would have thought you would have already known, I mean your mother is just extremely excited, you should have heard her when she found out the news. So are you telling me no one told you the news this morning before you came here?"

"I have to go Kakashi; I will see you next time we train." Was Sasuke's reply, completely ignoring the question that was asked of him.

Naruto was eating at Ichiraku's, slurping down his tenth bowl of pork Ramen when Sasuke entered the Ramen restaurant, he silently walked over to Naruto and sat on a stool beside him.

"Sasuke, why are you here? You hate Ramen." Was the curious question of his rival slash nemesis slash best friend.

I was on my way back from training with Kakashi when he told me some interesting news, I'm going to see my brother and Sakura, I think it's best if you come to, I'd like to know if what Kakashi say's is true." Naruto nodded his head in agreement and paid Teuchi the money that he owed him for the ramen.

"What did Kakashi-sensei say to you?"

"He told me that Sakura is pregnant with Itachi's child." After Sasuke told Naruto the news, Naruto just stopped what he was doing and stood in the street looking completely dazed, ignoring him Sasuke walked off.

"WHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!" Naruto yelled so loud that practically the whole village heard him. Naruto ran up to Sasuke catching up with him just as he was entering the Uchiha state. Sasuke just ignored him, Sasuke continued up the road to his home, once he was there he walked in the house taking his shoes off at the front door. Once his shoes were off he, along with Naruto walked down the familiar path to Itachi's room, once at his door neither bothered knocking and just threw the door open, what they saw put fear in them that they were scarred for the rest of their days. Naruto being as loud as ever was the first to react.

"What do you think you're doing to her you Uchiha; get your hands off of her." Itachi just smirked at Naruto before answering while covering his pinkette lover up with his bed spread

"I would have thought you would have known the minute you walked in on us that we are making love, or rather were." Itachi directed his gaze from Naruto and looked at Sasuke.

"Now as the both of you can tell, Sakura and I are extremely busy, ask the question you guys have come here for and leave, make it quick." Sasuke stared right back into his brothers eyes and asked the question.

"Kakashi said that Sakura is pregnant, we are here to verify it." Sasuke was getting a sickly green, hoping against all odds that Kakashi was just pulling his chain. He was looking at his brother for verification but Sakura was the one who answered the question instead.

"I am pregnant, I'm eight weeks." Sasuke nodded his head at the answer; he was taking it a lot better than his yellow haired friend who seemed to have lost the ability to speak. Sasuke turned around to leave the room dragging Naruto with him, it wasn't until Sasuke was out of the house and Itachi and Sakura were once more continuing their activities that Naruto obviously regained his senses, because he voiced what he thought.

"WHAAAAATT! NO WAY, I'M GOING TO KILL THAT UCHIHA BASTERD!"
