''Hallo Sasuke!

How is your mission? Please tell me, that you soon will be done.

There are a few news, you should know about.

Firstly, I BECAME A FATHER!!! You should see that little boy, you should feel his warmth! The best moments of my life!

Secondly, Hinata is pregnant. AGAIN! Couldn'ˋt be happier!

And last, not least but saddest. She is not good. She is really not good. I try my best to stay in touch with your wife, but that is almost impossible. She looks hurt, broken, never leaves the hospital and whenever the girls or me ae trying to get her out sometime, she refuses. I really do not know, what is happening but I guess it's something about you.

So just please, move on fast and come back. Because I can't take care of your wife anymore, when there is a little baby, and my pregnant wife. Sorry, hope you understand!

Naruto''

His eyes saw red. He was jealous. So jealous. This lucky bastard. That should have been him, with Sakura having kids. His clan must be restored. And still, he has not even one baby.

And from the words about Sakura it seemed, as if he would not have even a wife. He missed her so much.

Guilt, so strong, it took his breath away, came over him. He never wrote her, never told her about his feelings. 

But she once said, she would never give up on him, right?

In a few days he would see. Now he could only hope to make it up to her somehow. 

Few days later...

He crossed the gates of Konoha, waving at his best friend and ex team mate.

''Long not seen, Sasuke! Glad you are done!'', Naruto, as always embraced him with a big grin. Once he let go, Sasuke recognized the woman standing next to him. Hinata, with a little belly and a baby in her arms.

''This is Boruto, my son, dattebayo!'' the blonde screamed into his ear. He looked at the little bundle in Hinatas arms and could not stop but wonder, how much really changed in the village over the years. He could not await to see his wife after such a long time. 

He could not wait longer.

''Sorry, gotta go!'', he ran as fast as he could in the direction of his Uchiha mansion, just hearing the loud laugh Naruto giving from himself. He did not care, what that baka thought, he had to see her, finally.

He was so used to lonliness, but Sakura was a light in the darkness for him. She was all he ever wanted, but she did not know... Could not know. 

The journey took 2 minutes if you were an really fast Sasuke Uchiha. He stopped right in front of his old mansion. Memories flooded back to him but the ghosts of his past did not scare him anymore. He did not care. 

The lights were on, she was inside. His heart skipped a beat.
He slowly went up the stairs and opened the door.

Suddenly, Sakura stood behind him with a kunai on his throat. She had changed. Improved. Was faster then before. 

''Sakura, that's just me.'', he said a little bit nervous after a while, for she did not let go. Her stance relaxed at once, her kunai disappeared in her purse, he catched a glimpse of clothes inside.

''Ok, well then. '' her voice so cold, so distanced. She did not even look up at him, as she make her way around him in the general direction of the city centre.

''Hn, where do you think you are going?'' he asked, his voice confused. He certainly did not expect that reaction. Everything, but not that. This was not his Sakura. 

''To work, where else? Bye'', again, her voice void of emotion sent a shiver down his spine. Again, she did not even look back. He watched her back as she slowly dissapeared from his sight, a sinking feeling in his gut.

She did not sound or behave like his Sakura. Sakura always wore her heart on a sleeve. 

She did not look like Sakura anymore. She seemed so thin, so fragile now, her cheekbones more visible. So not her. 

Guilt overcame him once again. It was his fault, all his fault. 

But whatever it was, he would make it right. He had to.

Sakura's POV

She walked as fast as possible, just to be away from him. Her head was a mess, her thoughts blurred. Why was he here? Did he really think everything would be the same? Did he really thought that I can forgive him again?

Her tears leaked from her eyes without her awareness. Her chest was constricted with pain, she could not catch a breath. 

Why was he effecting her?

Sasuke's POV

After 24 hours of not eating and not sleeping I could not fight the anxiety, that consumed me. 

Where was she? Why was she still gone? 

After 24 hours I could not wait anymore. My feet dragged me somehow to the hospital, and went straight for the reception.

"Where is Uchiha Sakura." I demanded an anwser from an older lady, that sat at the register. 

Her eyes rounded at my tone, but she asked with a pleasant tone nontheless:

"What is your name, boy?" I narrowed my eyes. It all was taking too long.

"Uchiha Sasuke, her husband" I stated simply and glared even harder. Why was this taking so long?

The old lady seemed to check something on the screen and anwsered again in her polite tone:

"Sorry, boy, but Doctor Uchiha does not want to see you." My mind went blank after that. Again, my feet dragged me to a bench in the waiting room, where my whole body collapsed. Head in my hands, I, Sasuke Uchiha, did not know, how to solve this mess.
