[fluff]

This was not what he had expected to spend his morning.

But here he was, kneeling next to his wife on the bathroom floor, desperately trying to pull her hair into a ponytail whilst sympathetically rubbing her back as she emptied out the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

One would have thought that by this point, there would be nothing left to exit her digestive system.

He was wrong.

And he absolutely hated seeing his wife coughing and spluttering every where, partly because he's not entirely too sure what to do in this situation, and also because no matter what he does, there is no way he can instantly make her better.

For a man who doesn't like seeing his wife hurt or upset, Sakura falling ill is a great weakness to him.

"You good?" He asked, face still laced with concern as he stared lovingly into the jade green eyes in front of him.

She thought his concern was rather cute, really. Yes, she didn't like seeing him so stressed over her, but as much as she hated to admit it, she enjoyed the attention and affection he gave her (I mean, what girl wouldn't when your husband is as hot and caring as Sasuke is).

"Yeah- no" was all she could say as she threw up again.

Sasuke refilled the empty plastic cup residing by them both and handed it to the other Uchiha.

"I'm going to be late for work," she groaned, between sips of her cold beverage.

"I've already phoned in sick for you."

"You did what?"

"I told Tsunade you'd been sick and she's given you the next two days off, and that was after I convinced her that you probably wouldn't need an entire week, but the offer is still there for you to take if you want it."

With how exhausted she feels, she'd love to take up on that offer, though she wouldn't admit it.

"I'm going back to bed then."

————————
Before long, the two Uchiha's were snuggled back up in bed watching Plebs again for the billionth time.

Sasuke's constant cuddles and massages helped Sakura's nausea reside a little, but it was still prominent even when hiding it.

She rolled over onto her left side so she could place her head in the crook of his neck, clutching onto his shirt as she sighed heavy breaths.

"It's ok to feel sick you know," he simply stated, once again rubbing her back in an attempt to make her feel better.

"I know, I just don't like it."

"No one enjoys being sick Sakura," he laughed.

"I know, but it just feels awful. Normally when I feel sick I'm sick straight away, but now I feel like I'm going to be sick but can't let it exit me." She sighed again, clutching his shirt a little tighter as the feeling got worse.

"Do you want a hot water bottle?" Her husband bluntly asks.

Sakura pulled her head up and looked at him confusedly.

"Why would you ask that? It's the middle of summer, I don't need a hot water bottle."

"I don't know, it's just, I haven't seen you this sick since that time when you had those really bad cramps two years ago and the bottle helped you"

"Wait, what?"

Realisation flooded into the pinkette.

"What?"

"My period is late." she whispered.

The raven's eyes snapped open.

"What?"

"I didn't notice because I've skipped the past couple of months because I've been stressed! But now, thinking about it, the dates would match up to explain why I'm being sick now."

Sasuke released his grip on his wife's shoulders.

"Do you want me to go buy a test?"

"There's a few in the cabinet."

————————
"Two minutes sure does seem like an awfully long time," she sighs, leaning against the wall and hugging her knees to her chest"

"Yep," he sighs too.

The couple sit in silence for a few moments.

"Are we ready to become parents?" Sakura burst out, quite nervously.

"I don't know, and probably not. But we can make it work. I don't think anyone is ever truly ready to become a parent, but look at all the people in the world. If they survived, we can too?"

"I guess so."

The abrupt ringing of an alarm interrupted their converse. The time had now come for their lives to potentially be changed forever.

Impatiently, Sakura grabbed the stick off the bathroom counter and checked the result.

Pregnant

Sasuke peered over her shoulder to see the stick.

"Well that's certainly quite a surprise," he spoke, finding his hand trailing down to rest on Sakura's still-flat belly.

"Our little surprise."
