Demon's Cry

Chapter 12

A.N.: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS IDEAS OR CHARACTERS. I only own my OC Jenna.

We spent several weeks preparing for Gaara's inauguration into the seat of Kazekage. The whole village was bustling. Momo had given me a week off of work so I could help Gaara. So I spent as much time as I could helping in any way I could. I brought his lunch to his office every day; I delivered papers, and other such things. And right now I just so happened to be heading to his office to eat lunch with him.

I walked down the street merrily. I was in such a great mood! When I arrived at the Kazekage tower I was greeted with respectful bows and people addressed me as 'Jenna-hime'. I had tried to tell them all to stop calling me that but they insisted. I ultimately gave up my endeavor to stop them. I peeked into Gaara's office.

He looked up at me. "I know it's you."

I giggled "You're no fun! I guess I shouldn't have walked all the way here to eat lunch with you!" I fake pouted.

Suddenly he was in front of me and he swept me off my feet and carried me to the chair in front of his desk. "Ah but you know you want to." He smirked.

"True, true." I agreed.

I handed him his bento and we both began to eat. But when I was about half way done I was hit with a wave of nausea. I my neck muscles tensed, trying to force down the feeling. But the bile in my throat just kept rising. Gaara looked up at me; he seemed to sense my distress. I covered my mouth with my hands and dashed to the conveniently placed bathroom in Gaara's office. The door slammed behind me and as I heaved into the toilet I heard Gaara's chair screech harshly against the floor.

Gaara banged on the door. "Jenna?! Are you ok?"

"I-I'm fine…! D-Don't come in!" I stuttered.

He obviously came in anyway. "You shouldn't have to see me like this…" I spoke softly.

"In sickness and in health Jenna." He reminded me.

"Right…" I silently cursed that vow in my head.

I rested beside the toilet, my head on the wall behind me. "I'll go get the doctor." Gaara stated and quickly left the room.

It wasn't long before the doctors came in with a wheel chair. They helped me get into it and they took me straight to the hospital for an examination. They did all sorts of things like checking my vitals, taking blood samples, and poking and prodding me all over. It made me quite nervous.

The doctor came in. "Congratulations!"

"Huh?" Gaara and I asked in unison.

"You're pregnant!" She said excitedly.

I let the information sink in. A minute passed, then two. I was pregnant? I was having a baby? A miniature version of Gaara and me? A tiny human? I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. Yeah, I wanted a baby and yeah, we did try to get me pregnant several times. But just the idea of me becoming a mother was like trying to comprehend the universe with one word. I looked at Gaara, and he was looking right back at me. A smile began to spread across my face.

"We're having a baby!" I jumped into Gaara's arms both of us had huge goofy grins.

Gaara spun me around just like he did when he asked me to marry him. This feeling of joy was incomprehensible. Gaara and I shared in a loving kiss. The doctor waited until we had finished our moment. When we turned back to her she had a warm smile on her face. She obviously liked to tell people they were going to have a baby.

"Would you like to see your baby on an ultrasound?" She asked with a hint of hope in her voice.

I didn't even look at Gaara for a confirmation. "Yes!"

We all left to go to the ultrasound room. I was instructed to lie on the bed, and relax. I took in a sharp breath as I felt the cold gel touch my stomach. Gaara was holding my hand, a small smile gracing his lips. The doctor began the ultrasound; a black and white picture appeared on the small TV screen before us.

"Ah I found the little guy!" She said as a dark spot with a little human shaped figure appeared on the screen.

"That's my baby?" I asked a little entranced by the sight before me.

"Yes! And it looks like you are about 8 weeks along." She pointed to the screen. "There's the head, the arms, and legs."

"Wow…" I was completely entranced.

"Do you want a picture to take home?" She asked.

"Yes!" Gaara and I answered simultaneously.

She clicked a button and a small picture was printed. "We want you to come in once a month for a routine ultrasound. But you can also come in after you get to your 18th week of pregnancy so we can tell you the gender."

I looked at Gaara. "I don't want to know the gender Gaara…"

Gaara looked at me and smiled, "Whatever you like Jenna."

I smiled with my mouth open and my eyes glistened. "Really? Are you ok with that for real?"

"Of course I am. I would give you anything in the world. You are my wife and my special person."

I felt my eyes water up, I wiped the tears away before they could fall. I kissed him lovingly. When we finished our moment the doctor handed me the picture of the ultrasound picture. I looked at it my happiness filling me up.

I thought of something and laughed. "We better tell Temari and Kankuro or else they are going to get mad!"

Gaara gave a small chuckle. "Yes that sounds wise."

When we left the hospital I couldn't stop staring at my stomach. It was just so surreal to be pregnant. My hands were rubbing my stomach tenderly even though I wasn't really showing yet. We walked to the house where we used to live and where Temari and Kankuro still lived. We just walked in not bothering to knock since we are family after all. Temari and Kankuro looked at us and smiled. The table was set with their dinner and they were about to eat.

Temari was the first to speak. "Jenna! Gaara! Come sit down and have dinner with us!"

I smiled super big. "How can we say no?"

Gaara and I sat down and we all filled our plates. All four of us began to eat. Gaara turned his vision towards me, and his eyes told me it was time.

"So Temari, Kankuro, we have something to tell the both of you." I started.

Temari looked up chewing on some of her salad. Kankuro looked up as well and asked. "What is it?"

I grinned and Gaara gave a small smile. "I'm pregnant!"

Temari began to choke and Kankuro spit out the drink he had just taken a sip of. I laughed at their comical reactions and took Gaara's hand into mine.

When Temari and Kankuro calmed down Temari spoke. "So do you want to know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise!" I laughed.

Temari gave me a sly look. "You know what this means right?"

My eyes held confusion. "What?"

"BABY SHOPPING!" She answered excitedly.

My eyes lit up. "Yes!"

Kankuro addressed Gaara. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Gaara replied with a smile.

Kankuro chuckled before asking. "So what's it like knowing you are going to be a father?"

Gaara seemed to think about it for a second but was quick to come up with an answer. "Terrifying…yet exciting."

We all laughed in unison. Gaara wasn't really one to answer like that, but I guess people change. It was hard to think that just a few years ago Gaara wanted to kill me. People change, times change, everything changes with time. Gaara used to be so lonely but now that's not the case. Now we are just one big happy family.

End Of Chappie!
