When Sasuke and I told the team that I was a month pregnant everyone suddenly became more protective and they won't let me carry logs or anything heavy. They also seem to give me more food as well and carry me without complaint whenever I complain about my feet hurting. All in all they have been so supportive and caring. Karin is always with me whenever I seem to get moody and she helps me sleep whenever I cry about Choji. Sasuke let's me cuddle next to him and also buys me whatever I am craving. I still miss Choji a lot though. Since I've been pregnant and all I've been missing Choji a lot. I wish I could be with him now. Cuddle up beside him on our bed, where we both are safe and warm at home. Right now the team and I are walking to the North. Sasuke isn't telling me where we are going. We are just going North and that's it, nothing more, nothing less. "Sasuke maybe we should pick up Mabel and run the rest." Jugo said breaking the silence.

"Maybe we should take a small break. Mabel must be tired." Karin said.

I look at Sasuke waiting to see what his answer will be. "We should keep going. I feel like we are being followed." He said.

At that my thoughts quickly went to Choji. Is he trying to find me now? What will he do when I tell him I am carrying his child? Will he be happy? Or will he be mad at me? What if he doesn't believe this is his child? Of course he is gonna believe this is his child, right? "Who?" I asked without much thought.

"What?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Who is following us?" I asked placing my hands on my slightly swollen stomach.

"I think the leaf is trying to track us down." He said.

I nodded as I continued to walk. "Will you be okay Mabel?" Sasuke said looking back at me.

I smiled at him as I rubbed my small stomach. "I'm fine. I can keep walking." I said happily.

He nodded as we all continued to walk North. "What would happen when we get there?" Suigetsu asked.

"What do you mean Suigetsu?" Asked Karin.

"I mean with Mabel. Won't she be a weak spot for us if we take her with us?" He said.

"We are gonna leave Mabel somewhere safe and then after we are done with the mission we will be back for her." Sasuke said.

"I don't mind that at all." I said.

"But what if someone finds her?" Karin asked.

"That won't be a problem since you're gonna stay with her." Sasuke said.

"But Sasuke!"

"You have a problem with that Karin?" Sasuke said in a dark tone.

"N-No." Karin said nervously.

"I'm sorry Karin." I whisper to her.

"It's fine. It wasn't you who order the commands." She said.

"The scent is getting stronger as we get closer." Kiba said as we all kept running.

"Hopefully we can get to them before anything bad happens." Sakura said.

"We only have one more week to find them. I know we can get her back. I just have this feeling." I said.

"Choji don't worry, we'll find her. You just have to be patient." Shikamaru said.

"I can't be patient anymore especially now that she might be pregnant. I want to be there for the process of everything. I wanna be the one to help her and make sure she is comfortable. I wanna be there when she is giving birth to my first child. I wanna marry this girl and have more children, to see them all grow." I said rambling on.

"What if she isn't pregnant?" Shikamaru said.

"Then we'll get marry and start a family. All I want is for her to be with me, to have her in my arms where it's safe." I said.

"We will get her back to you. We just have to be patient." Shikamaru said.

"I'll try." I said.

At last we finally made it to a cave where Karin and I will be staying at. Sasuke, Jugo, and Suigetsu stood at the cave entrance while Karin and I set up all the stuff for the night. "Karin I changed my mind." Sasuke suddenly said.

"Huh?" She said dumbfounded

"Jugo is gonna stay here with Mabel. I'll need you more out in the field. You're too weak to protect Mabel on your own so Jugo is gonna stay with her while you go with me. Got it?" Sasuke says.

"Yes, Sasuke." She said smiling at him.

"When are you guys leaving?" I asked.

"Right now." Sasuke says.

Right as they were about to leave I called out to Sasuke. "Can I talk to you in private?" I asked.

"Just make it quick." He said going deeper in the cave with me.

"I just want you to be safe okay. I'm sorry for wasting time but I just have this feeling I might not see you again." I said staring at him.

"Mabel..........I'm thinking of taking you back to Konoha when I get back." He said

My eyes grew wide as I felt sad knowing he won't be there. Then again I'm pregnant yet Choji isn't even with me but I haven't finish helping Sasuke. "But Sasuke-"

"Mabel your pregnant for Jashin sake and the father isn't here with you to help. I heard you crying about missing Choji. I want him to be with you, to support you, and to be there for the baby as well. You helped enough and you've done everything you can to help me. I'm proud of you." He aid making me cry.

"I want you to be there too, Sasuke. I want my big brother to be there when my first child is born. I want you to be there and see my baby grow up, I want you to be in our lives. I want my child to call you uncle and to have you in our lives." I said with tears streaming down my face.

"I love you Mabel." Sasuke said hugging me.

"I love you too." I said hugging him back. "Stay safe."

"I will." He said leaving.

I stood at the cave entrance with Jugo by my side. "I guess now all we have to do is wait. Do you want me to make dinner?" I asked Jugo.

"I can make it." Jugo said.

"Don't worry about it. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm helpless." I said starting to make dinner for the both of us.

Jugo just nodded and sat down near the fire saying nothing. "Do you have any preferences on what you like to eat?" I asked.

"None." He said.

I sigh as I think to myself. This is gonna be a silent night. I wonder what Choji is doing now. I hope he's eating right and I hope he's well. I miss my little Choji.
