But Sasuke-kun came back and slowly, achingly, lovingly — they grew close again, got together, and married.

She started to think about children again.

She asked him if he wanted any, knowing the possibility of a no and… being fine with that. Children wasn’t a number one thing in her life. It would be nice but not something she wanted so badly. She wanted to be with him, more than anything.

But he told her yes, quiet, in her room, like it was a word stuck in the back corner of his teeth. His hand holding hers in a tight grip.

They’re in the middle of their journey slash mission outside of Konoha now. It’s been around six months. The whole idea of children is later in Sakura’s child. Back at Konoha. Back where they’d be with their friends and family.

She doesn’t expect this at all.

“What,” Sakura says. She can hear sounds of the cicadas buzzing outside. She can see the doctor’s face. It feels all far away.

“You’re pregnant,” the doctor tells her again.

Sakura looks down, presses a hand over her stomach in a daze. Things happened, yes. They’ve gotten intimate but… they were always careful. Sakura knows it’s never a hundred percent but — she never thought it’d happen to them. It feels unreal.

She leaves the hospital and goes back to the inn, legs wobbly. Sasuke-kun is already back from the market. He pauses sorting through the groceries to turn to her.

“What’s wrong,” he asks, immediately.

Sakura’s face pinches further. She doesn’t know how to bring it up. She doesn’t know how he’d react. They hadn’t prepared for this. Sasuke-kun walks towards her and takes her hand as he pulls her into a embrace. She sinks into it. It’s comforting.

Lowly, right against her skin, he says, “What happened?”

He knows she went for a check up, feeling strangely under the weather lately. It’s always best to get a second opinion, even if you’re a medic yourself. They never thought it would be anything more than that.

She knows she’s needlessly worrying him. She needs to tell him but she doesn’t know how to bring it up.

Better to just rip off the bandaid, Sakura thinks.

She pulls away so she can see his face.

“I’m pregnant,” she tells him.

In the dim light of their room, Sasuke-kun’s face — she won’t ever forget that moment, Sakura tells herself.
