Chapter Two; The Newest Member of The Family

I'm sorry that it's been awhile but I've been really busy writing my Halloween stories so that I can get them done in time for Halloween next week. (I can't believe it's coming up so fast!) Anyway, sorry again for the delay and here's the next chapter!

"Hey Sasame, can you please heat up Ame's bottle up for me? She just woke up from her nap and my guess is that she'll probably need a diaper change." Sakura said before Sasame nodded and then turned around and walked into the kitchen.

"Can I help?" Hiro asked her but she just simply shook her head at him.

"I'm sorry Hiro, but I'm afraid that you're too little. I don't want you to get burned." She told him.

"I'm always too little." He muttered underneath his breath while Ame continued crying inside the background.

"I know, I hear you. Aunt Sakura's coming." She said before she put her hand on the doorknob and gave it a turn and then entered the nursery. "Wow, I remember when Sasame used to sleep back in this room." She said to herself before she reached over to the nightstand and turned off the baby monitor. Then she peered down in on the baby girl. She looked so much like her mother did when she was a baby. She had a tiny bit of black hair, bright blue eyes, and skin as white as snow.

"Alright Ame, do you need your great aunt Sakura to put on a fresh diaper for you?" she inquired while smiling warmly down at the baby before she slipped her arms up underneath her and carried her over to the diaper changing table. Just at that moment Chika entered the room and started rubbing up against her legs before meowing up at her. "I'm sorry Chika, I can't give you any attention right now." She told her before she sat down and meowed again while continuing to gaze up at her.

As Sakura sat Ame down Sasuke finally came through the front door and sat the pack of diapers down on top of the table. "Daddy!" Hiro cried out with excitement as Sasuke squatted down in front of him and chuckled while he sped towards him with his arms spread out wide. Sasuke embraced his son tightly before breaking apart from him a few seconds later. "Hey son, where's your mother?" he asked him with a slight grin.

"She's changing Ame's diaper." He told him.

"Thanks. Be right back." Sasuke said before he stood up again, grabbed the pack of diapers and then carried them back to the nursery. Meanwhile Sakura was busy lathering Ame's bottom up with diaper cream as she continued to fuss.

"Shh,.. Ame." She began soothingly. "I'm almost done, it's alright." She reassured her niece. "It's almost over." She told her but the baby just cried even harder and louder. Chika stood up, turned around, and darted out of the room as Sasuke entered it.

"Wow, it's been quite a long time since we've heard that sound around here." He remarked.

"I know. She hates it when I put cream on her." Sakura told him.

"Well, take a look at it this way. Wouldn't you cry too if anybody but me tried to go near your butt?" he questioned her.

"I know, but she has to have it on her. It's for her own protection. I don't want her to get a diaper rash." She told him while he placed down the pack of diapers beside her.

"Here. Didn't you want these?" he questioned.

"Thanks." She told him before she took a fresh diaper and slid it under Ame's bottom. A few seconds later Sasame walked down the hallway and into the room carrying a bottle.

"Here. Her formula is heated up." She said while Sakura finished taping up the diaper.

"Thanks a lot Sasame. I just need to get her dressed and then you can feed her if you want to." She told her.

"Actually, can Hiro feed her? He really wants to help." She said.

"Well, alright. I suppose that he can. Just as long as he knows that he has to be careful with her." Sakura told her.

"I'm sure he does. He's always playing house with Kira and I've always seen him holding her dolls very gently." Sasuke pointed out. After Sakura had finished getting Ame dressed, she carried her back into the living room while Sasame carried the baby bottle.

"Hey Hiro, do you want to be the one to feed her sweetheart?" Sakura asked him as a wide grin suddenly stretched across his face.

"Sure, I'd love to." He told her.

"Alright, then go ahead and sit down on the couch and I'll put her in your arms." She said before he turned around and flopped down on the couch. He held out his arms before Ame was placed inside of them. "Now don't forget to support her head and sit very, very still." She instructed.

"I know Mommy." He told her before she handed him the bottle and Hiro tilted the nipple to her lips offering it to her. It didn't take her long until she accepted it and started sucking it hungrily. Hiro smiled down at his new baby cousin while both of his parents smiled at him.

"You know, it wasn't all that long ago that you were that tiny." His father told him with a grin.

"I remember when Sasame was that tiny." His mother remarked.

"So do I. She was queen of the spit-ups and poopy diapers." Sasuke said before turning over to look at his daughter with a grin.

"Dad!" she cried indignantly before he just simply laughed and wrapped a loving arm around her and planting a wet kiss on her cheek.

"Hey, dads are supposed to embarrass their children. It's written in the handbook." He told her.

"You know, Ame's really cute, but I sure wish that there was another little boy in the family." Hiro said. "I'm surrounded by girls." He said with a groan and a roll of his eyes.

"Well, who knows? Maybe either me or Boruto will have a boy." Sasame told him. "Besides, one day you're going to like girls."

"I already do. It's just that I only like them as friends and family. I never want to have a girlfriend." He told her.

"Well, I guess that means that you'll never be a father." She told him.

"Oh I wouldn't say that." Sasuke began with a grin. "He's only seven years old, he might change his mind. Boruto once thought that he would never get a girlfriend but look at him now." He pointed out when suddenly Ame had suddenly decided that she had had enough milk to drink and stopped sucking.

"Here, I need to burp her now." Sakura said before she took the baby out of Hiro's arms once again and brought her to her shoulder gently patting and rubbing her back. Within in a few seconds Ame let out a rather enormous belch.

"Yep, she's an Uzumaki alright." Sasuke said. "Speaking of which I should probably call Naruto. We need to start rehearsing for our first gig." He said.

"What's a gig?" Hiro wondered.

"It's another word for a performance." His father told him. "And whenever you do any kind of performance, you need to practice until you can perform it in your sleep." He explained.

"Well I'll go ahead and let you give him a call. I'm taking Ame out for a walk. Sasame, could you please stay here and watch your brother?" she asked her but before her daughter could give her a proper answer she was out the door.
