As soon as Sasuke and Temari finished their mission at Kirigakure, they went to see if their one month old daughter, Mieko, was in good hands with Sakura and Itachi. "Sakura-san, are you and Itachi-san here?" yelled Temari as soon as she and Sasuke entered Sakura and Itachi's house.
"Yes, I'll be right down!" said Sakura as she raced down the stairs. She was followed by Itachi who was carrying their 2 year old daughter, Niji.
"I hope Mieko wasn't too much trouble for you, brother," Sasuke said with a chuckle.
"Of course not," he responded, "we enjoyed her company, especially Niji, they seem to be good friends."
"Well, that's great! How is Niji doing?" asked Temari.
"Oh, she's doing really well, she's getting ready for her medical checkup for tomorrow," said Sakura.
"Usually, they would have some regular Medical Ninja do the checkup but since Sakura was Tsunade's student, Tsunade is going to do Niji's checkup," said Itachi as he embraced his wife.
"Oh my god, she has sure taken her mother's looks," Temari said, as she referred to Niji's pink hair. Sasuke started to tickle Niji on the stomach with his index finger, and Niji grabbed the finger with great strength.
"Yeah he sure takes after Sakura's strength as well," Sasuke laughed.
"Well I wish you three could stay longer, we would've loved to have dinner with you, we invited Naruto, Hinata, and their son Wateri as well.," Sakura said.
"We would love to join you guys for dinner!" Temari exclaimed.
"But, Temari-san, we need to get Mieko to bed, she is so tired," Sasuke suggested, "how about after we get Mieko to bed, we can come back here for dinner."
"Okay, we'll be back in a minute!" Temari said cheerfully.
After they took Mieko to bed, the two lovers went back to Sakura and Itachi's place where they would also be seeing Naruto, Hinata, and Wateri as well.
"Hey you guys actually made it!" laughed Naruto in sarcasm.
"Sorry, getting Mieko to sleep is hard so we had to hire Konohamaru's squad to take care of her for a mission," Temari explained.
"So where shall we dine?" asked Sasuke.
"Well, we're out of food at home so I figured we could go to Ichiraku for some ramen," Sakura said expecting Naruto to jump with excitement but, Naruto, was surprisingly not showing his excitement too much.
"Mmm, that sounds good! Thanks, Sakura-chan!" Wateri said., Wateri was six years old and had his father's golden spiky hair, while he also had his mother's pale eyes without pupils.
Sakura was angry for Wateri calling her "Sakura-chan" instead of "Sakura-san."
"I suppose it was you who kept saying Sakura-chan around him," Sakura said to Naruto with a death glare in her eyes.
"I'm just used to calling you Sakura-chan ever since our younger years," Naruto hesitantly explained.
"Well, now it's Sakura-san, got it chump?!" Sakura said as Itachi was holding her back so she wouldn't beat Naruto's head to a bloody pulp.
As the eight of them were eating at Ichiraku, Sasuke and Temari were talking together as Sasuke had his hand on top of Temari's.
"Temari, do you think when Mieko gets older, then she could have a little brother or sister?" Sasuke asked his wife.
Temari giggled, it was so sudden for Sasuke to be asking this. "Well it depends, will we be ready? Would we do a good job with more than one child? It just all depends," she answered.
"Okay, I knew it was a stupid thing to ask after you've just given birth about a month ago," Sasuke laughed embarrassingly as he put his arm around Temari's shoulder.
"I love you, Sasuke," Temari said as she laid her head on Sasuke's shoulder.
"I love you too, Temari," Sasuke responded.
