Kakashi POV
It's been eight months, and we haven't found out anything on Claire's location. I'm worried sick... for her life as well as our child's life. Anything could happen at this point... premature birth, for example. Or they could both be long dead. How the hell am I supposed to know?! What if the hope I have for them still being alive is false? I'm afraid... I can't loose her again. I can't watch our future slip through my fingers! I hate this!
"I'm sorry, Kakashi. But we've yet to find her..."
I pound my fist angrily on the Third Hokage's desk. "Dammit!"
"We're searching as hard as we can, but--"
"Then search harder!"
"How dare you speak to Sir Hokage on that tone?!" a Jonin interrupts.
Hiruzen raises a hand to silence the third party and redirects his attention towards me. "Calm yourself, Kakashi Hatake, and please, sit back down."
"...tch." I grumble and let myself sink back down into the chair. "I'm sorry..." I mutter.
"It's alright. I understand why you're upset, but getting angry won't bring Claire back any faster."
"...I know." I hide my face in my hands and sigh.
"Kakashi."
I look back up at him. "Yeah?"
"Claire is strong, I'm sure she'll be alright."
"...Thank you, sir..."

Claire POV
*********************************
Mini flashback:
"What do you want with me?"
"Testing...ku ku ku..."
*********************************
The creepy snake man wasn't kidding...
He was going to dissect me like a damn lab rat.
But then, of course, he figured out that I was pregnant and decided to let the baby live. I couldn't help but be thankful for that. Yet, there was a catch; he would raise the baby after they were born, and he'd dissect me like a lab rat AFTER the childbirth. At least my child will be alright. I couldn't ask for anything more. But...I still worry for the child's safety. He's probably going to end up testing them too...I'm sure he has ulterior motives to raising them. I also worry for Kakashi... I promised him I wouldn't leave... I couldn't even keep that promise. I am an idiot.
I suddenly feel an intense pain in my stomach and slouch over holding it, leaning on the wall so I don't fall over. "Argh..." I groan in pain.
And then, my water breaks.

*A/N: This is my first time ever writing a birth scene, so I may be highly inaccurate and I apologize in advance for that. Also, this may be a bothersome and sensitive scene for some readers because it contains some hints of torture as well, so you have been warned!! This is not meant to insult anyone. Read at your own risk!*
The childbirth is a horribly painful process. Orochimaru, who has medication that could numb the pain at his reach, instead finds pleasure in watching me suffer.
