Falling for my Sensei •• Kakashi Hatake x OC

Fault

I follow Sakura down the bright hallway of the hospital until we make it into a private hall.

She stops walking and turns to face me.

"I'll start with the fact that she's been transferred to the ICU however we should be able to transfer her out of there and into a regular ward after she makes it through the night without any issues. We were able to repair the damage to her midsection, and to the wounds on her leg and arm."

My legs feel like jello again as I lean against a wall for support.

"She's alive?"

I place my hands on my knees, hunching over a little.

"Is she going to be okay? Sakura, she's going to be okay?"

Sakura places a hand on my shoulder. "She has a very long road to recovery but she's alive."

I don't realize I'm sobbing until I'm crouched on the floor with Sakura kneeling in front of me.

She's alive. She's going to make it through this.

"If we had gotten to her a few minutes later, she wouldn't have made it."

I glance up at Sakura, attempting to regain control of my breathing.

"And-" I swallow hard. "And the baby?"

She lets out a tiny sigh.

"She's only about a month along, barely. We're monitoring things closely but you should be prepared because it's very likely that she will lose the pregnancy."

I feel a strange hollowness inside of my chest at her warning.

"But there's a chance she may not?" I ask softly.

Sakura offers me a half hearted smile.

"There's no way to know. All we can do is wait."

I nod my head once, wiping at my eyes.

"Did she know?" She looks at me, waiting for my answer.

I shake my head.

"No. There's no way. If she had known, she never would've done any of this. I didn't even know there was a chance. She's on birth control."

Sakura's lips twist into a confused frown.

"She mentioned to me a few weeks ago that she was taking a Z-Pak? For the flu or a sinus infection or something?" Sakura says.

"Yeah, sinus infection."

"That can sometimes counteract birth control. So unless you guys used another form of protection-" She trails off.

"I see." I say in a hushed voice.

"Can I see her?" I ask softly, looking directly at Sakura.

She nods her head. "Just you, until shes transferred out of the ICU."

She stands up and I follow her towards another wing of the hospital.

She walks me towards a room at the end of the hall with the curtains drawn.

We walk through the door where I find Ari in bed, hooked up to several machines.

I pull up a chair next to her bed and slowly sit down.

She looks so fragile.

I search for her hands to reach out and touch them but I stop when I see the amount of bandages and gauze wraps she has around her.

"Is she-Is she in pain?" I breathe out softly.

Sakura walks forward to the other side of the hospital bed.
