Chapter 43: The Tiny Heartbeat

Madara's P.O.V

I entered the house to find Yoshima fast asleep on the couch.

I went to her and picked her up. 
I carried her bridal style to our room and placed her on the futon.

She's burning up.

I quickly got a towel and placed it on her head.

"What happened when I was gone?"

Yoshima's P.O.V

"You idiot!  Leave my family alone!" I yelled trying to break myself free from the ropes.

"You are going to hurt yourself Yoshima." He said.
"Get a few wounds?  I don't mind if it helps me get out of this hell hole!" I yelled moving.

"Yoshima...  I can sense a tiny heartbeat in you." He said and my eyes widened.
"Shut up!"  Is that why he was saying all this stuff about me hurting my body.

"You are lying!  If I was pregnant you'd just kill the baby right away." I said.
"Hm.  Is that so..." He took out a katana.
"I'll end the baby's life right now."

He came at me with the katana, "NOOO!!!!"

My eyes shot open and I was in Madara's arms breathing heavily.

"It's okay.  It was just a nightmare." He said and kissed my forehead.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek, "Madara, I'm scared."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No." I said as he hugged me tighter.

I looked up at him, "I'm hungry.."

***
The next day Madara left the compound for the Senju again.

I woke up and looked out the window.

"I feel sick." I quickly got up and rushed for the washroom.

***

I puked.. A lot.
Now it makes me think of that nightmare.

The man said he could sense a tiny heart beat in me.

I sighed, "Maybe I am pregnant."

Hashirama's P.O.V

"You should bring Yoshima here with you more often." I said and he sighed.
"She didn't have a good night. She had a nightmare, and she was crying."
My eyes widened, "It was that bad? What happened?"
"She won't tell me." Madara said closing his eyes.

"Yoshima having a nightmare...  That's rare.  Also her not talking about it..."  I said looking down.

Madara and I were in my office talking.

"What do you think I should do?" He asked me.
"Talk to her.  Ask her what she dreamt about." I said and he sighed.
"I'll try."

"Let's end our meeting for the day.  You need to be with Yoshima." I said and he nodded.
"Thank you Hashirama." He said and left the room.

Yoshima's P.O.V

I walked out of the hospital.

I placed my hand on my stomach.
It's confirmed...  I'm pregnant.

Man....  And I just got married.

"It seems to early to be pregnant." I sighed.
I wonder how Madara will react.

I thought as I walked towards the main house.

I couldn't help but feel happy.
I'll be a mother soon.

"Yoshima!" I heard Madara's voice as he ran towards me.
"Madara!  Home so soon?" I asked and he nodded.

"I want to spend time with you." He said and I felt a light blush on my cheeks.

He held my hand as we walked towards the house.

***

"What are you looking at?" I said blushing as I sat on the ground as Madara's head rested in my lap.
"You." He said and continued staring.

I turned away from embarrassment.

"You've become shy." He said.

"You rarely kiss me." He said.
"I kiss you a lot!" I said and he smirked.

"Kiss me now to prove it." He said and my face probably turned red as a tomato.

"Unless you are afraid to kiss your own husband."
"IM NOT!" I said.

He sat up and I slowly leaned in.
Our lips touched.

We kissed passionately.

Madara quickly pinned me on the ground breaking the kiss.
I know what he wanted to do.

He slowly reached for the top of my yukata.

"NO!  Madara.  We can't." I said as tears slowly rolled down my cheeks.

"What's wrong?" He gave me a shocked expression.

"Madara, I'm...  I'm pregnant." I said softly and his eyes widened.

He sat up.

I felt myself being pulled into his embrace.

"I'm gonna be a father." He said holding me tightly.

"You- you are crushing me." I said and he released me.

He kissed my forehead, "When did you find out."
"Someone in my nightmare told me about it, and I felt sick in the morning.  I got it checked out and then that's when you saw me." I said staring in his eyes.

"You should've told me earlier." He said staring in my eyes.

"I'm so happy, Yoshima." Madara said smiling.

"Yoshima, I want to hear about your nightmare." He said and my eyes widened.
"No.  It's not a big deal."
"It is!  You cried." He said having a saddened look on his face.

I sighed, "Ok."
