Sakura leaned over and picked up the phone saying hello like normal, and then she handed the phone to me looking concerned it didn’t worry me it was probably a bill collector.

“How do you like that room? I paid for it..” I felt sick to my stomach it was that man Kakuzu how did he find my number?

“It’s great I love it, really. Thank you.” I felt my self  give a smile at Sakura to reassure her, she was standing there with worry on her face. My smile eased her which was a good thing.
Kakuzu fell silent on the other end it seemed like he didn’t know what to say. So I had to make it look like a conversation.

“How are you doing? I haven’t talked to you since I left the village.” The silence dragged out and I nodded and smiled just talking to myself. “That’s great and how is he doing?”
He was mumbling to someone else so I continued anyways. “Really? That’s fine I’m going to have to go soon anyways.”

“….how’s the money…”

“My job? I’m on leave right now 32 weeks Tsunade-chan’s orders. I’m on bed rest and I am getting my paycheck like normal. I miss working already I love working at that little shop, I might move here permanently!” He went silent again and I threw Sakura a thumbs up and I smile when she went into the kitchen.

“Well I have to go my friend is having trouble with finding things in my kitchen. Love you too bye!”
I hung up and placed a hand on my lower back before walking into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Sakura pulled out a deck of cards and began to shuffle them, she smiled and looked up at me.
“Who was that?”

“Oh he was just an old friend from work. He’s very nice no kids though what a shame.”
“That’s a shame, ready for some Rummy?” I nodded as she dealt the cards I love playing Rummy it was one game that I was almost a pro at.
~~Hours later~~

“Rummy!!”  I laughed and threw my hand with my cards facing up on the table, Sakura laid her head down on the table sulking.

“I can’t believe this how can I lose 32 times in a row!” I just smiled looking over at the clock it read 11:45 it was way past the time that she said she was going to leave so I stood up patting the back of her head.

“Sakura, you should leave it’s 11:45.” she peeked out from beneath her hair before nodding looking at the clock.

“It is past 9:30 isn’t it?” She stood and headed for the door smiling a big smile, “I will bet you next time!” I couldn’t help but to smile back at her, “If you say so.”
I walked over to the door slowly with my hand on my lower back it was killing me but I couldn’t take anything because of this child in my stomach. I locked the door and started to climb the stairs I was debating on either going to take a bath or just go to bed and take a bath in the morning. I turned towards the bathroom hoping that the hot water in a bath would sooth the aching pains in my back. The bathroom was a simple white with blue accents, it was tiny but the bath was deep which was good because it had handles I have trouble getting up and down with this rather large belly. I reached in to turn on the water and I made it rather warm instead of the normal mild water I usually take a shower or take a bath in. I sat on the edge of the tub thinking about that phone call. Why did he call anyways, he said he finished that room but why? I wasn’t going to worry about that now I was in pain and I wanted it to stop, but at the same time I couldn’t help but to not feel alone. I knew I was the only one in the house but at the same time I could be wrong. My clan was after me after all and if they tried something then I was a done for I was to big to fight back. Also I was alone who would save me? No one. That’s right absolutely no one. Which was okay with me because not only will I die but my child will also. I slowly undressed myself and slid into the water it can up almost to my shoulders I sighed a little, when I felt a bunch of kicking I just rubbed my stomach trying to relax as much as I could. I just hummed trying to not think of anything trying to forget that feeling.

~~1 hour later~~
Climbing out is rather difficult for me because of the size of my stomach, but I finally got out and dried myself off and got into my robe. My back felt a little better but it didn’t feel like it should have so I head toward my bedroom watching so I wouldn’t run into anything or fall. I finally reached my door and opened it but what I seen in the corner wasn’t someone from my clan it was Kakuzu.

“What are you doing here?
