Sasusaku Stories - Lemons Included

A worried Sasuke and a pregnant sakura

Sasuke often worried about leaving you home alone, although you insisted. It wasn't long before the baby was due, four weeks to be exact, so it was a challenge for him to wake up every morning and kiss you goodbye.

"Okay, I'm leaving now," He took one step over the threshold before turning to face you, "Are you sure you're okay by yourself?"

"Yes, sasuke, I'm fine."

"Alright, I'll see you later," The door was ready to shut when he decided to peek inside, "You sure? You're okay? I could call in and skip the mission."

"No, sasuke,I'm okay!" You couldn't help but laugh, "Now go, you're gonna be late!"

"Okay, okay. I'll send a shadow clone at 12 to make sure, bye!"

The door shut behind him, however, you could still feel his presence, like he never left. You kept your eyes on the door, anticipating him to peer inside and check up on you. You alternated from the door to the clock, door to clock, to time how long it would be before the door opened yet again....

The door shot open, sasuke strolling inside, "sakura, I think I'll call in and tell the dobe to take over the mission and ask for the day off."

"Five minutes, sasuke."I

"What?"

"You were outside, contemplating whether or not you should go to work, for five minutes," You rolled your eyes humorously. "For crying out loud, sasuke, I'll be alright here. You know if anything happens, I'll call you."

He paused, "I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that my absence will leave you helpless.

You stood, your hand falling protectively over your belly, before leaning close to kiss his cheek. He smiled in response.

"I'm sorry," He said barely above a whisper.

"I know you just want to take care of me," You patted his shoulder. "But understand that working to put groceries in the cabinet, or to buy diapers, is another way of taking care of me....or us."

You pointed to your belly as you mouthed the last two words. His smile grew tenfold.Sasuke as just a few minutes late to the  mission briefing that day.-------------------He was overjoyed when his mission ended. It was a little after six in the evening, so he decided to bring home a tub of ice cream for the two of you to share. It warmed his heart knowing it would make you happy.

He moved on the double. He reached over for the tub of ice cream as he kicked his car door open, then scrambled for the house keys as he darted towards the door.

"Honey, I'm-"

The tub of ice cream fell to the floor."Honey?!" He was succumb with fear.

There you lay, in the center of the living room, eyes closed and not moving. Sasuke muttered curse words under his breath as he patted your face.I

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?! Did you hit your head? Are you dehydrated?!" He panicked. "I'm going to call the ambulance and-"

Your eyelids fluttered open, a smile creeping on your face upon seeing him"Hi, sasuke"

His face contorted with confusion, "Did you faint?! I just found you here lying on the floor, and, oh my god, oh my god, please tell me you're okay."

You giggled, continuing in a groggy tone, "Yes, I'm fine....? I was tired, and the couch was uncomfortable, so I just decided to take a nap here. What time is it?"

Sasuke exhaled a sigh of relief, "Son of a...."

"Did you think I was...." You sat up, both hands falling to your belly. Slowly, you began to realize that, seconds ago, he was in a state of panic; his eyes were wide with horror as he tended to your fatigued body. It did look as if you were distressed, as if something had gone wrong and you were unable to contact him, or an ambulance for that matter.

"Oh no, sasuke, I'm sorry!"

He sighed again, "No, no....don't apologize...."

He laid back, resting his weight on his hands. 

"Sasuke, hey, I'm fine, nothing is wrong," You forced his hand over your protruding stomach. "He's fine."

He nodded, a bittersweet smile on his face. Then something over his shoulder caught your eye. It rested not too far from the door, its cardboard lid bent, most likely due to contact with the ground."Hey, sasuke?" You perked up. "Is that ice cream?"
