Sasuke woke up from his sleep just after his alarm went off at 3 am. Upon getting up, he notices that he isn't in his usual bedroom, but instead is in a traditional Japanese-styled room and is sitting on a futon. The other futon that was laid beside his had already been kept inside the drawers.
"Heh. Right, I remember now. They invited us to stay over last night. Damn Naruto. He just kept talking all night." Sasuke muttered as he got up and fixed his futon. Just then, the door slowly slid open.
"Oh, you're up. How was your sleep?" A pink-haired beauty with emerald eyes looked fondly at him. She came closer and gave him a little peck on the cheek.
"Good morning, Sakura." A gentle smile came across Sasuke's slightly tired face. Seeing his wife in the morning always made him feel at ease.
"So do you have somewhere to be again today?" Sakura asked.
"I have to go back to the Sand to finalize my negotiations with Gaara. I'll probably be away for 2 days. By the way, what are you doing up so early?"
"I was helping out Hinata with breakfast preparations. She heard you were leaving early and she wanted to have a meal with us both before you leave so she got up earlier than she usually does. Oh, and before I forget, your clothes are just on the dresser. Did you need anything else?"
"Nope. Everything's perfect." He went closer to his wife and gave her a hug from behind.
"We'll be waiting in the dining quarters when you're ready."
Naruto dozed off on his seat while they waited for Sasuke to arrive.
"Well, it is still 4 am", said Sakura jokingly to Hinata.
Hinata let out a faint chuckle and looked to her husband, who already had drool running down his chin. Hinata reached for a napkin and gently wiped it off. Seeing this, Sakura thought "That Naruto doesn't know how good he has it."
Just then, Sasuke entered the room, and as if feeling a strong presence, Naruto shot up from his seat and yelled, "What took you so long? Hinata's food was starting to get cold! You shouldn't let her efforts go to waste."
"If you hadn't took so long yapping about all you little adventures last night acting like an old grandpa, then we could have gone home early and Hinata wouldn't have gone through this much trouble," Replied Sasuke.
"I-It's really no proble—"
"Granpa?! Who're you calling granpa? We'll see who's the grandpa when I beat your sorry ass!"
"heh." As Naruto and Sasuke were about to get into a fighting stance, Sakura quickly interjected and punched both of them on the cheek, knocking them both down.
"Geez! Stop it, you two! It's still four in the morning and people are still asleep! Now sit your butts down or I'll give you both a beating that you'll never forget."
"Yes ma'am," the two men said in unison, and quickly headed to their seats.
Naruto covered his mouth from Sakura's gaze and whispered to Sasuke, "Damn, your wife is as scary as ever."
"What did you say, Naruto?", said Sakura in a harsh tone.
"N-nothing! Let's eat!" Naruto shook like a little puppy while he was reaching for his chopsticks.
Then, Sasuke whispered back to Naruto, saying, "Don't mess with my wife", with a smirk, and began eating his meal.
The two couples proceeded to see Sasuke off at the gate. Sasuke kissed his wife's forehead and bade her goodbye. Then he thanked his hosts for the meal and letting him stay the night. He hopped into a taxi and glanced at his Sakura one last time, and in a split second, gave her a timid smile. Sakura waved goodbye and saw her husband off to work.
"Two days, huh? Well you're free to hang out here if you're not too busy, Sakura! You're more than welcome in our home," beamed Naruto.
"And if there's anything at all you need, please don't hesitate to come to us," added his wife.
"Thanks you two." Sakura gave the couple a big hug. "And by the way, didn't you say you had really important news to tell us last night? I mean, that was the whole reason why you invited us over, right?"
"Oh my, we totally forgot! Naruto got too caught up with his stories that he ended up talking about them all night." Hinata chuckled and took a glance at her husband, who had already started blushing from embarrassment. "Actually…" Hinata looked Naruto in the eyes, and he flashed her a wide grin as if in approval. "I'm pregnant."
