Sasuke's POV

For some reason, Naruko invited Sakura in her apartment. I felt relief because Chisuke isn't here for the night and will stay at Iruka's place. As I sit on the couch, opposite to Sakura, who was sitting quite comfortably. She looked at me and continued to stare until the silence was broken by Naruko's sudden intrusion, carrying a glass of water for the guest. Naruko sits beside me, and somehow I could tell that she was trembling,

"What do you want to talk about Sakura?" I asked as I was getting irritated by her presence alone,

"I'm surprised you even invited me in, Naruko," She asked as she reaches for the glass and takes a small sip,

"Sakura... I want to make amends... I don't think we should act immaturely given our situation," Naruko sincerely said, as she looks at her with longing,

"I don't think that will be ever possible... You see, I am carrying a child..." she pauses and turns her head to me, "... and we, both, know who the father is," she added. The words send chills down my spine, I was speechless. Nothing would come to mind, an excuse, a reason or an escape was nowhere.

I was afraid to look at Naruko, who I think by now is as hurt as she is shocked,

"Sasuke... What does she mean?" her voice called,

Alas that dreadful question was asked and there is only two options for me to do; tell her the truth or deny everything. I kept thinking and I decide to look at her because I was losing both strength and courage to do either of the two.

I slowly looked at her and all I see is a pained and forceful smile, as if giving me an assurance that I can tell her, yet all it gave was guilt,

"Why don't you tell her, Sasuke? What we did that day? Surely, you could never lie to the person you love and trust most?" Sakura said as if taunting me, yet the very words she said was not for me but for her to hear,

"It happened once. I was drunk and one thing lead to another... But Naruko believe me, all I could think about that time was you," I said in a pleading manner, asking her forgiveness,

"This is all I want to talk about... But I think you better take responsibility of the child I carry, Sasuke..." Sakura said as she stood and walked out of the apartment,

"Naru -"

"Sasuke... What are we going to do?" She interrupted, I looked at her stunned by the sudden question, left me confused. I saw her whole body shake and I knew that she was keeping it all in, grab her shoulder and pulled her to my embrace,

"I'm sorry, Naruko..." I said as I comforted her, I could feel my shirt get wet from her tears,

"I don't wanna lose you... Sasuke..." She said, I tighten my grip on her. She was vulnerable,

"You will never lose me the same way I will never lose you... Whether what she says is true or not... I will never marry her... nor will I become her's," I said,

"And if she is really pregnant with your child?" She asked,

"I can be the father of that child... but that's all I can offer her, because you will be Uchiha Naruko and she can never replace you," I said giving her as much assurance to calm her down,

"Sasuke... I love you..." She said, her voice slightly calmed and her face resting on my chest. That moment I know she could hear the fasting beating of my heart,

"I love you, more than anything..." I answered,
