There he was home alone with his only 2 week old daughter. It's not that he was scared to be alone with something so small and fragile, but something so small, fragile, and sick was what worried him. He looked at his daughters pinkish face who was cradled against his chest. He smiled and even though he's had more than 9 months of notice, couldn't believe he was a father. With his left arm cradling her he used his right hand to feel her forehead. She's still too warm he though. He had already taken off the blanket that she was swaddled in and left her in a diaper and shirt. She started to whine a bit and wiggled around.
"Don't worry sweetie, you're daddy will take care of you until your mommy comes back with some medicine from your grandma Tsunade" He felt helpless not being able to do much other than hold her and rock her. Only a few weeks old and already sick. He sighed, he went to the bathroom and grabbed a washcloth to wet and stick on her forehead. She cried out a bit from the coolness of the towel but quickly calmed down.
"That felt better didn't it? I know you can't remember yet alone understand what i'm going to tell you, but I love you very much. I will always love you and your mommy very much, no matter what. I will do whatever it is to keep you two safe and you better believe i'm going to be an over protective dad to you. I have to make sure no boy hurts you like I did with your mom. So if I'm hostile to anyone you take a liking to i'm sorry, but as your dad I want you to never feel any pain. Which I know isn't really possible to stop that from happening, but I can try. I promise to you that I'm always going to be there for you and you'll never have to fight for my acknowledgement like I did with your grandpa. You are an Uchiha, but more importantly, you are my daughter. I guarantee whatever you do in the future your mom and I will be happy and proud of you. You just have to promise me one thing… that you will NOT date that dobes son. I mean anyone else would be better than that dumba-"
"Sasuke-kun! Watch your mouth!" He turned around and saw his ever so beautiful wife. She looked at him and smiled.
"H-how long have you been standing there?" he asked with a slight blush spreading across his cheeks. He usually doesn't talk a whole lot about his feelings but he thought it would be ok because she's a baby and she is 100% his to care for and protect.
"Long enough to know that this baby has the best bodyguard and father in the world. I love you too Sasuke-kun and so does she. For right now you don't have to worry about boys because for her you're the only important boy in the world. It's amazing isn't it?" Sakura asked. She looked at her husband and smiled.
"What's amazing?" he inquired looking softly at his wife.
"Look at what we created! Something so tiny, fragile, and adorable. This is what our love made, a whole nother being. You know, she looks exactly like you just with my forehead." she said giggling. His eyes drifted from his wife to the little being in his arms, he chuckled.
"Yeah, she does. That means she won't be as dumb and stubborn as me. She'll be brilliant just like you. Looks of an Uchiha and brains of a Haruno I suppose."
"Yep, I bet she'll be like you were in school!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"She'll have a bunch of admirers!" she replied. Sasuke stood there dumbfounded. His face held a blank expression.
"Oh no. I forgot about that. That means i'm going to have to teach her to see every boy as an idiot. I can't afford for her to be seduced by some snot nosed little punk."
"Hahaha, You're too much Sasuke-kun! Well enough scaring your daddy Sarada," she lifted her hand that held a paper bag. "It's time to give you some medicine to reduce your fever! Come With mommy, Sarada!" She placed the bag on a table and grabbed Sarada from Sasuke's arms.
"W-wait Sakura, you can't just say that to me, nearly give me a panic attack, and expect me to function! Sakuraaa!" He whined. She smirked and looked at her daughter.
"Ah, Sarada! It's so easy to make your daddy worry! I can already tell you're gonna have him wrapped around your little finger! Hmm, well I suppose it's been like that since before you even had fingers!" she cooed. Sarada looked at her with those big onyx eyes and gurgled.
Authors Note: How was it? Not too bad I hope! I'm thinking about making this into a bunch of little one shots, not sure. Let me know If I should. I just love writing about Sasu and his little princess.
