A/N: Hello! Welcome to another story! I missed you all so much! I hope you're all doing good. This story is a bit different from my other stories, it's not SasuNaru in the sense we love but I still hope you'll give it a try because I had it in my mind for so long.
If I have new readers, welcome! Please check out my profile page and see my warnings before starting the story.
So guys, in my absence, I fall ill and it was really bad. I've passed days with only lying down but thankfully I'm all better now. I've put my first drawing video on youtube! It's so strange for me to see myself on the internet like that lol. But I hope the channel will be succesful, it's so fun!
Anyway, sorry for the long note. Please enjoy this chapter!
Ocean blue eyes opened slowly. They blinked several times as the little body sat up in the small bed. Naruto rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands and looked around slowly. Pale winter sun was illuminating his messy room. The four-year-old smiled widely. He loved the sun!
He left his bed and then his room with his naked feet and run to the room across from his. He had to raise on his tiptoes to reach the handle of the door but it didn't slow him down at all.
"Daddy!" He shouted merrily once inside the room. He run to the bed and climbed on top of his father's body that was under the sheets. "Daddy, Nawu hewe! Nawu wake up!"
There was a groan and then the sheets moved, only to reveal a grumpy looking, dark haired young man.
"Good morning," Naruto's father whom he worshipped with all of his being said with his cracking voice. His dark eyes were narrowed as he tried to adjust to the light.
"Good mowning, daddy!" Naruto beamed. "Nawu miss daddy, Nawu love daddy!"
"I love you as well," Sasuke responded to his son. "Is it school time yet?"
"Nawu don't wanna go daddy," Naruto whined as he held onto his father's naked shoulders. "Nawu stay with daddy, Nawu miss daddy."
"I know, I miss you too," Sasuke said as he stood up with his baby son in his arms. "But school is important to learn new things."
"Daddy teach Nawu?" Naruto asked, his father's stark naked, toned body not disturbing him in the least.
Sasuke chuckled as he entered the joined bathroom of his room. "But I'm not a teacher. I don't know what your teacher does."
"No!" Naruto protested immediately. "Daddy know evewything!"
Sasuke smiled as he took off his son's clothing. "Daddy can't know everything."
"No, no!" Naruto pouted as he frowned. He didn't resist as Sasuke took him in the shower along with him.
Sasuke laughed heartedly as he started the warm water. He kneeled down and washed his son thoroughly but quickly. Sometimes, Naruto whined about his eyes hurting but Sasuke was quick to blow in them to soothe him.
"You wait me in the room," Sasuke ordered his son after dressing him with his fluffy bathrobe.
Naruto grinned widely and walked to his father's room quickly. He climbed on the bed and started jumping up and down happily. He stopped as he heard a groan and the heavy covers of the bed moved, revealing a dark haired woman.
"What are you doing?" The woman snapped.
Naruto was taken aback by the stranger. He climbed down the bed and run to the bathroom just as the door opened.
"Daddy!" He cried and threw himself in his father's strong, protective arms. "Somebody hewe! Thief!"
Sasuke rubbed his son's back soothingly. "Leave," He ordered to the woman.
"You didn't tell me you had a child," The woman said accusingly as she stood up, the falling sheets revealing her naked body.
"I didn't tell you my name either," Sasuke hissed as he held Naruto tighter against his chest, not letting his son see the scenery before him. "Get dressed and then leave."
She glared at the handsome man and then stood up. Getting dressed quickly, she stormed out of the luxurious condo.
"Daddy save Nawu of thief!" Naruto cried happily. His daddy was the strongest!
Sasuke chuckled. "She wasn't a thief. She was a friend."
Naruto shrugged. He didn't care about the thieves or friends. His daddy was a busy man. The time Naruto had with him was scarce. He worked all day and came to pick Naruto up from his grandparents' house late in the night. Naruto tried to stay awake to see him but most of the time he couldn't and his daddy had a lot of friends to spend his time with so Naruto was desperate for even a drop of attention he would get from him.
Sasuke dressed his son with the clothes he chose for himself and then went to the kitchen to prepare them toasts. As the breakfast cooked, he took his son's lunchbox and put food inside according to the teacher's list.
"Daddy!" Naruto run into the kitchen with a photo frame in his small, chubby hands. "Nawu take mommy to school?"
Sasuke kneeled before his son and looked to the frame. It showed Naruto's late mother as she held him in her arms. Ino was a beautiful woman and Sasuke thought that she was the only one whom he had come closest to falling in love with. They had planned getting married after she gave birth to their son but they had lost her shortly after giving birth to Naruto.
It was hard raising him without a mother but Sasuke thought he managed. He couldn't deny the fact that his mother helped a lot.
"If you want to," Sasuke said. "But what if you lose it? You'll cry too much."
Naruto gasped in fear. He run back to his room and put the photo frame on the colorful nightstand beside his bed before running back to the kitchen to join breakfast with his father.
Naruto was happy as long as he was with him. Naruto was happy as long as he looked at him. Naruto was happy as long as he talked to him. Naruto was happy as long as he gave his attention to him.
"Daddy!" Naruto called out with a wide smile after eating some of his toast. "Nawu will make a pictuwe fow daddy!"
"Oh," Sasuke smiled, caressing his son's unruly, platinum locks. "I can't wait to see it."
Naruto smiled even wider. "Nawu will dwaw good!"
"I know that you will," Sasuke responded and pressed the glass which was filled with orange juice against his son's pink lips, urging him to drink the cool liquid. "My son's going to be an artist someday."
Naruto giggled happily.
For the rest of the breakfast, Naruto talked about this or that and Sasuke listened to his son speaking closely. Sometimes he put in his own words but never interrupted his son's train of thoughts. He knew that it was important for his son to talk to him about his small world and life.
"Let's get going," Sasuke picked up his son and balanced him on his hip as they left their apartment.
Naruto hummed a merry song as he wrapped an arm around his daddy's neck and clutched his favorite fox plushie against his small chest as he looked around. He pouted as he saw the female neighbors of their residence, as always watching his daddy with strange faces and smiles. Naruto didn't like it! His daddy belonged to him completely.
Naruto stuck his tongue out at the flirty women he saw on their way to the parking lot and then wrapped his both of arms around his daddy's neck.
"What was that?" Sasuke questioned as he put Naruto in his booster.
Naruto frowned. "Daddy belong Nawu!"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he settled in the car himself. "You know that I am, but you also know that I don't like it when you're rude to people."
"Nawu no wude!" Naruto protested immediately. "Nawu just love daddy so, so much!"
Sasuke let out a short sigh and then smiled. "I love you, too. But don't do it again, okay? You are such a nice boy, it doesn't suit you."
Naruto beamed. "Okay!"
"Then let's go," Sasuke started the car and drove out of the pit.
Naruto watched the busy streets happily. His daddy had a few cars actually but he always used this one when he was with Naruto. Naruto liked the two door, red sports car a lot but his daddy said that it wasn't safe for Naruto just yet. He also promised Naruto that when he went to a big school, he would get him his own car.
Naruto pouted as they stopped before his daycare. It wasn't like he didn't like it here. It was actually quite nice. He loved his teacher and friends. But he missed his daddy so much... It was like his heart burned with his longing. He feared that he wouldn't be able to see him again. He feared that he would forget about him. He feared that he would replace Naruto in his absence.
"We are here," Sasuke called out before leaving his seat to get his son. He wasn't surprised to see his pouting face. "What's wrong now?"
Naruto shrugged and raised his arms, demanding to be taken in his father's arms.
Sasuke smirked. As every Uchiha, his son knew his priorities very well. "Come to daddy."
Naruto held onto his daddy tightly and buried his face in his neck.
Sasuke rubbed the little blonde's back as he entered the building. "My son's going to learn lots of new things today."
Naruto didn't respond, only held on tighter.
"Welcome!" Naruto's teacher, Tenten, welcomed them with a big smile.
"Good morning," Sasuke greeted the young woman. "We are here," He said as he rubbed his son's back.
Naruto retreated back and looked at his father's face pleadingly. "Daddy no leave Nawu hewe…"
Sasuke frowned and looked at the teacher sharply. "My son despises it here. Do you mistreat him?"
"Wh-What?" Tenten was taken aback. "Of course not! We love our kids very much!"
"Naruto," Sasuke looked at his son. "Do they hurt you here?"
Naruto shook his head.
"You can tell me," Sasuke pressed on. "You know that daddy protects you from anything and everything."
Naruto nodded as he played with his daddy's white collar.
"What of your friends?" Sasuke questioned gently as he brushed his son's bright locks back. "Do they bother you?"
Naruto shook his head.
Sasuke let out a sigh and hugged his baby son tightly as he whispered in his ear, "You are my only one, I love you the most. I never leave you alone, I always come back to you."
Naruto nodded quickly. "But you don't come to take Nawu!"
"But you know that I'm working at that time," Sasuke explained calmly. "Granny comes to get you instead, right?"
Naruto nodded.
"You love mama and papa, right?" Sasuke asked. "They also love you so much. They want to be with you all the time."
Naruto nodded once again. "Mama make Nawu apple pie."
Sasuke smiled, knowing that his son was coming around. "Right? What of your papa?"
Naruto smiled immediately. "Papa buy Nawu new toys!"
"Yeah, that's because he loves you very much," Sasuke smiled back.
Naruto nodded wildly. "And Uncle take Nawu to play!"
"He does, doesn't he?" Sasuke kissed his son's forehead. "We all love you so much. I get sad when you make it hard to part."
Naruto nodded slowly. He kissed Sasuke's cheeks and slid down from his arms. "Nawu love daddy. Daddy wowk and get Nawu at night aftew wowk."
"That's right," Sasuke smiled at his son proudly. Leaning over, he kissed his shiny locks. "Don't forget to draw me a picture, okay?"
"Okay!" Naruto nodded wildly and waving at his father, he entered the daycare.
"Are the other kids like him?" Sasuke questioned once his son got lost in the building.
"Some of them are," Tenten replied after a sigh. "But Naruto's special. Because he doesn't have a mother, he clings to you more than usual."
Sasuke nodded slowly.
"He has such a small world and its center is you," Tenten said. "He expects everything from you. He wants to be approved by you the most. He wants to be loved by you as much as he can. So it's natural that he feels like you'll forget all about him in his absence."
Sasuke sighed. "Does my son need a mother?"
"Uhmm," Tenten scratched her cheek. "I can't tell you anything about that. You have to make your decisions according to your own and Naruto's needs."
Sasuke nodded. "Thank you, sensei. Have a nice day."
Tenten smiled and went back to the daycare as Sasuke left.
Mikoto thanked her driver as he opened the door for her and she walked into the daycare's garden without lingering.
"Hello," Mikoto smiled at the employee who was responsible of preparing the kids and leaving them to their families' care. "Naruto Uchiha, please."
"Yes, ma'am," The young man bowed and walked inside. Soon, he was back with holding Naruto's hand as he skipped his feet.
"Mama!" Naruto cried in delight and leaving the boy's hand, he run to his grandmother as fast as his short legs allowed.
"Oh, baby," Mikoto kneeled down and took her grandson in her arms quickly. "I missed you so much."
Naruto giggled as his mama held him his her warm embrace. "Nawu miss mama!"
"You did?" Mikoto kissed Naruto's chubby cheeks lovingly.
"Yes!" Naruto nodded wildly.
"Let's go home then," Mikoto stood up and held Naruto's small hand, guiding him to the car.
"Mama make apple pie?" Naruto asked as the driver took his small backpack.
Mikoto laughed. "Don't you get bored with apple pie all the time?"
"No!" Naruto shook his head wildly as the driver placed him in his booster seat.
Mikoto giggled as she sat beside her grandson. "Then I'll make it for you."
"Yes!" Naruto cheered immediately. "Choco milk?"
"Also choco milk!" Mikoto said with a smile.
"Yes!" Naruto squealed. "Nawu love mama!"
"Mama also loves Naru-chan," Mikoto smiled lovingly and kissed her little son's platinum hair gently.
Naruto pointed at the people and the cars on the street as he talked animatedly. He hummed happily as the driver entered the Uchiha Mansion's enormous garden.
"Mama, Nawu play with doggies?" Naruto asked as he saw the howling and running dogs of the mansion.
"Not today honey," Mikoto said as the car stopped. "It's too cold to be out."
Naruto nodded in understanding.
"Let's go," Mikoto helped her grandson out of the car and together, they run into the mansion, maids opening the door to them immediately.
"Welcome, Madam, young master," The old butler of the house greeted them quickly.
"Hello!" Naruto smiled brightly. "Whewe papa?"
"In his study, young master," The butler replied immediately.
Naruto giggled happily. Taking off his shoes with Mikoto's help, Naruto climbed the stairs and run to his grandfather's study with fast steps and opened the door quickly.
"Papa!" He cried happily.
Fugaku put his book down with a smile. "You forgot to do something."
Naruto frowned, scratching his brow.
Smiling wider, Fugaku turned his hand into a fist and knocked on an imaginary door.
"Oh!" Gasping, Naruto left the room and closed the door. After a moment, he knocked on the wooden material.
"Come in!" Fugaku called out.
Naruto opened the door and entered inside with a huge smile. "Papa!"
"Welcome," Fugaku took off his glasses with a smile and opened his arms wide.
Naruto giggled happily as he run into his grandfather's arms.
"How is my son today?" Fugaku asked as he picked up his grandson, holding him tightly.
"Good!" Naruto chirped. "Kiba say he have new doggie now."
"Oh," Fugaku nodded as he descended the stairs, knowing that Kiba was his grandson's best friend. "But don't you think it's too much to have three pups at once?"
Naruto curved his lips downwards. "Kiba say big sistew cawe doggies."
"Hmm," Fugaku nodded again. "Then that's okay. But he shouldn't say an animal is his unless he's ready to take full responsibility."
Naruto nodded along with his grandfather.
"I've got something new for you," Fugaku said as he entered the living room where the elegant fireplace warmed inside.
Naruto gasped happily.
Fugaku put his grandson down beside the long coffee table and sat down. He opened the box which was on the table under Naruto's close watch and pulled out the pieces.
"What's this, papa?" Naruto asked as he sat beside his grandfather.
"With these, we're going to build a house," Fugaku explained as he showed the small bricks.
Naruto squealed in delight. They started with preparing the mortar and for the rest of the day until the dinner time, they built a big, white house.
"Let's have our dinner," Mikoto called out with a smile.
"No, mama," Naruto shook his head, too busy with putting the roof together.
"But," Mikoto smiled. "Your uncle is here to see you."
"Good evening," A new voice came and Naruto gasped.
"Uncle!" He jumped to his feet run to the smirking man.
"Hello, midget," Itachi grabbed his nephew from his armpits and lifted him up in the air, causing him to giggle uncontrollably.
"Uncle look!" Naruto pointed at the nearly complete house as his uncle kissed his chubby cheeks.
"Wow," Itachi nodded. "That's impressive. You are so talented."
Naruto smiled widely, happy to be approved by his uncle.
"He takes after me," Sasuke called as he walked into the room after his brother.
The Uchiha family was the most important business clan of the whole country. After Naruto's birth, Fugaku had decided it was time for him to retire and spend more time with his grandson. Itachi and Sasuke had taken over and since then, their business was growing more if it was possible.
"Daddy!" Naruto cried. He wriggled till Itachi put him down and he run to his father immediately. "Daddy!"
"Yeah," Sasuke chuckled as he kneeled on the floor, wrapping his arms around his son's little body as thin arms wrapped around his neck.
"Daddy," Naruto cooed, burying his face in his neck. "Nawu miss daddy. Nawu love daddy."
Sasuke held his son tightly and kissed his temple lovingly. "I know, I love you too. I think of you all the time when we are not together."
"Weally?" Naruto asked, touching his father's jet black hair.
"Of course," Sasuke smiled softly. "That's because I love you so much."
With a smile, Naruto cuddled up to his daddy's chest in content. He didn't resist as he was picked up. "Mama, daddy miss Nawu."
"Of course he did, baby," Mikoto replied with a trembling smile.
Naruto nodded as they walked to the dining room. For the rest of the night, he was silent and happy. He did everything with Sasuke and fell asleep in his arms finally.
"His teacher said Naruto's more dependent than the other children," Sasuke said softly, trying not to wake his baby sleeping in his arms.
"There is nothing wrong with my grandson," Fugaku scoffed. "He's smart, talented and well behaved."
"And full of love," Mikoto added quickly.
"I'm not saying something's wrong with him," Sasuke frowned, holding his son tighter. "He's just… not complete. A part of him is missing."
Mikoto bit her lips.
"He needs a mother," Sasuke said with a sigh.
"How do you plan to find him one?" Itachi asked impassively. "It's not like you can buy a mother from a supermarket."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Thanks."
Itachi shrugged with a smirk.
"I'll find my son a good mother who will love him and look after him properly," Sasuke said. "He won't feel any less than the other kids."
Mikoto sighed. She wasn't sure if everything would go easy just like that.
Sasuke looked up as he heard a knock on his door at his office. "Come in."
A short pink haired woman entered the room with a big smile on her face. "Uchiha-san."
Sasuke eyed the woman slowly. "Yes?"
"I'm Sakura Haruno," Sakura smiled. "Your new assistant."
"Oh," Sasuke stood up and shook Sakura's hand as she walked up to him. "Welcome to the company. I'm glad that they finally managed to pick someone for the job."
"Me too," Sakura smiled. "It's an honor to work with you, Uchiha-san."
"Thanks," Sasuke nodded. "I hope we will have a long lasting business with you. I'm a bit demanding when it comes to work I guess."
Sakura smiled. "I've heard you changed twenty-eight assistants in two years."
"Well, yeah," Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Try not to be the twenty-ninth."
"Of course," Sakura replied, her smile never leaving her face. "I'm sure you will like me very much."
Sasuke blinked.
This woman was something else.
"You need to sign here, here and here," Sakura pointed the papers as she stood beside her boss.
Sasuke read through the papers quickly before signing them. As soon as he looked up, he was greeted with his assistant's generously opened breasts. Sasuke looked up to see her face and her meaningful smile entered his vision.
Sasuke had met many women. He was a popular man among the ladies. He was single, good looking and rich. Everything a woman would look for in a man and Sasuke Uchiha was the most perfect combination.
But there was something different with Sakura. It had been a few weeks since she had started with work, and she was handling Sasuke really well. She was smart, well behaved and well, beautiful. Everything Sasuke would look for in a woman.
"Thank you," Sasuke handed the papers to his secretary with a smirk.
"Of course," Sakura took the case back with a smile. "You know, I heard that there is a new restaurant opening tonight in downtown."
"Hm," Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Maybe we should try it."
Sakura giggled. "Maybe."
"Then maybe you should make reservations," Sasuke said with a widening smirk.
"Right away!" Sakura said with a smile and left Sasuke's office with quick steps.
Sasuke smiled.
It seemed that he had found the perfect candidate. Both for Naruto and himself.
Naruto sat by the window and watched outside without blinking. It was dark and rainy.
"Naru-chan," His grandmother sat beside him. "Aren't you tired of waiting here?"
"No," Naruto shook his head. "Nawu wait daddy."
"I know baby," Mikoto caressed her grandson's hair gently. "But it's really late, let's go to sleep."
Naruto shook his head quickly. "Daddy come to get Nawu. Daddy cold, daddy wet."
"I'm sure he's fine," Mikoto said. "He said he's going to spend some time with his new friend, right?"
Naruto nodded and then sighed. "Daddy don't come fow Nawu."
Mikoto tried to smile. "I'm sure he'll come to take you when he's free."
Naruto shrugged and then crawled into Mikoto's arms. "Nawu sleep with mama?"
"Of course," Mikoto picked up her grandson gently. "Let's go to your room."
"Okay," Naruto mumbled, face buried in Mikoto's neck.
Itachi watched with impassive eyes as his brother entered the Uchiha Mansion in the middle of the night.
"Good night," Sasuke greeted with a smirk.
"Night?" Itachi raised an eyebrow. "I guess you mean good morning."
Sasuke shrugged as he sat beside his brother. "Where is my son?"
"In bed, of course," Itachi replied. "He waited for you but he understood that you wouldn't be back, so he went to sleep with mother."
Sasuke looked at his brother sharply. "What are you trying to imply?"
"Imply?" Itachi chuckled. "I'm saying that a boy at his age should have a stable environment. He deserves all of you, not what is left off of whores."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "This is for both of us. This time though, I think I found the one."
Itachi raised both of his eyebrows. "Really?"
Sasuke nodded with a smirk. "She's a feisty one."
"Did you tell her about Naruto?" Itachi questioned.
"No, not yet," Sasuke shook his head.
"Then how do you know she has what it takes to be a mother?" The elder Uchiha questioned.
"I don't," Sasuke smirked. "I only know that she knows how to be a whore."
Itachi shook his head and stood up with his brother. "Don't wake him up."
"I won't," Sasuke waved a hand as he climbed the stairs, going to his son's room.
In the small bed, his baby son was sleeping soundly cuddled up to his favorite toy. Sasuke shed his clothing silently and entered the bed carefully. Naruto sighed loudly and leaned into the new heat source immediately. Sasuke took his son in his arms and held him against his chest tightly.
Kissing his sunny locks, Sasuke fell into a deep sleep.
"I can't believe this," Sasuke hissed as threw his phone against the seat.
"Daddy angwy Nawu?" Naruto asked from the backseat softly.
"Of course not, son," Sasuke replied and then sighed deeply. "You're coming with me to work, okay?"
Naruto gasped with wide eyes. "Nawu stay with daddy?!"
Sasuke smiled softly. "Well, your teacher's sick and your papa and mama need to attend a gathering. So if you want, you'll spend the day with me."
"Yes!" Naruto cried with a huge smile. "Nawu stay with daddy!"
Sasuke chuckled as he started the car once again. "But you won't disturb people, right?"
Naruto shook his head quickly. "Nawu be good!"
"I'm sure that you'll be," Sasuke smiled.
Naruto watched outside with a glowing face. He couldn't believe it! He was going to spend his day with his daddy! He was going to hug him and kiss him and hug him again!
"We're here," Sasuke called as he stopped in front of the company building.
An employee opened the door for Sasuke and he left the car with a nod. He opened Naruto's side of the door and took his son's small, colorful bag on his back before taking Naruto out.
Naruto held onto his father's big hand tightly as he skipped his feet into the building. The employees were overjoyed to see the littlest Uchiha among them. Naruto waved and sent kisses to everyone who called out to him.
He didn't resist as Sasuke picked him up before entering the elevator cabin. Naruto held onto his father's shoulders tightly, hiding his face quickly. He was afraid of elevators for some reason. But it was okay because his daddy was holding him, he would protect Naruto.
They got off at the last floor and again, there was the same reaction from the top employees and Naruto showered them with his attention generously.
"Uchiha-san," Sakura stood up as she saw her boss and lover approaching. "Good morning."
"Morning," Sasuke responded.
"Who is your little guest, Uchiha-san?" Sakura asked with a smile.
"He's my son," Sasuke responded, not missing the faltering of Sakura's smile. "Is there a problem?"
"No," Sakura gulped as she shook her head. "I love children."
"Good," Sasuke nodded and kissed his son's chubby cheek. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Hello!" Naruto started immediately. "My name is Nawuto Uchiha. Nawu's fouw! What Nawu loves the most is daddy! What Nawu like the most is strawbewwy! What Nawu hate the most is when daddy's not with Nawu! Uhmm..."
Sasuke chuckled. "I guess that's enough."
Naruto gave a nod and wrapped his arms around his father's neck tightly.
"Naruto will be staying with us today," Sasuke said and walked into his office.
Naruto nodded again. "Daddy, Nawu get choco milk?"
"Sure," Sasuke gave a nod and turned to Sakura. "One chocolate milk and a dark coffee, please."
"Right away," Sakura bowed down, leaving the office quickly.
"Do you like her?" Sasuke questioned as Naruto made himself comfortable under his desk.
"Mhmm," Naruto nodded distractedly as he placed his toys around.
"She's my... girlfriend," Sasuke said gently.
"Nawu know," Naruto said as he took out his coloring book. "Mama say Nawu. Mama say daddy have new fwiend and daddy be with fwiend. Daddy be with Nawu when he have time."
"My smart son," Sasuke praised as he kissed his son's forehead.
Naruto smiled and started playing with his toys as Sakura walked back into the office with a tray.
"Your coffee," She put the mug on Sasuke's desk and then kneeled on the floor with a smile. "Here is your milk."
"Thank you!" Naruto chirped and took the big glass happily.
"Of course," Sakura stood up and gazed at Sasuke. "Why didn't you tell me about him?"
"My son and I come as a package," Sasuke said. "Either you accept us both or you lose both. The choice is yours."
Sakura bit her lips. "What of his mother?"
"We lost her after she gave birth to Naruto," Sasuke explained.
"Mommy?" Naruto perked up immediately, holding onto his father's knees.
"Yeah," Sasuke picked up his son, cradling him in his arms tightly. "What you should understand is, I'm past the point of youth adventures and mistakes. I need someone to settle with. I need a mother for my son."
Sakura was silent for a while, her calculating gaze dropping on the child nestled in his father's arms. Then, a wide smile covered her face.
"I would love to be his mother," She said sweetly.
But for some reason, her cold eyes made the little blonde shiver in fear.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating?" Itachi asked from where he sat with Naruto on his lap.
The little blonde was painting the backs of Itachi's business cards and putting the ones he liked in his backpack to show his daddy later.
Mikoto was running around the dining table with their maids trailing behind her.
"But Sasuke's bringing a girlfriend for the first time after Naruto's mother," Mikoto said. "He seems to be really serious."
"He might be," Itachi responded. "But what do we know about her?"
Mikoto blinked. "She works for the company, right?"
"Just because we have her CV doesn't mean we actually know anything about her," Itachi pointed out.
"You're right," Mikoto murmured. "We're going to keep a close eye on her, okay?"
Itachi nodded with a pleased smirk.
"Don't give any color," Mikoto whispered as Sasuke walked inside along with his girlfriend.
Itachi gave another nod and a long night started.
Mikoto watched Sakura closely. She watched her gestures and followed her talks. She asked a lot of questions and analyzed the answers.
"She's too eager," Mikoto commented after Sasuke sent Sakura back her home with their driver.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke scoffed.
"She's dying to marry you," Itachi said easily.
"Of course she's," Sasuke said. "Everybody dies to marry me."
"Is that enough reason to marry?" Fugaku frowned.
"She wants to be Naruto's mother," Sasuke said with a frown. "You've seen how she was trying to take care of him."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Itachi pointed out. "Someday, she woke up and said, I wanna be my boss' child's mother! Don't you think it's too strange?"
"She's in love with me," Sasuke hissed. "Of course she'll love Naruto also. That's about it. I'm marrying her and I don't want to hear another nonsensical comment."
With that, Sasuke stomped to Naruto's room to fetch his sleeping son to go to their home.
