Sakura's Pov
So much has happened in the last five moths, for one I was now five months pregnant with a growing belly that was starting to show a lot. When I had first told Kakashi and Naruto it had been a moment that I would never forget and I was sure of that.
They had both been beyond happy, happy for Sasuke and the new chance at a new family I was giving him and happy for me because I was finally getting what I had always wished for, a family of my own with the man I've loved for so long now, Sasuke.
Itachi had been the happiest, he had gotten his thirty bucks from a very upset Kakashi, he had been happy for us but he was pissed at the fact that he had lost his precious bet. Sasuke had been angry with them, what with them betting on our private life. Of course that didn't stop both Itachi and Kakashi on betting again only this time on what the baby would be.
Itachi was betting on a boy, Kakashi was betting on a girl and with a hundred bucks at stake even Naruto joined in on the bet saying that he agreed with Kakashi but only because he wanted a little girlfriend for Hiroshi when they grew up, I had rolled my eyes then.
Hiroshi who was now seven months was such a cute baby, Naruto had named him himself but of course not before asking Hinata if she liked it, she just smiled and agreed that the name would fit the baby just fine knowing who the father was.
You could really see who the father really was, Naruto was more present in Hiroshi's features than Hinata was but there was still some hints in there. They didn't know if he was a carrier for the Byakugan yet, it was too early to know specially since his eyes were as blue as Naruto's. They would find out when Hiroshi was older and able to start with his ninja training.
Sasuke had been annoyed by the mere though of his daughter having to do anything with Naruto's son but to our surprise he himself joined in on that bet, he had taken Itachi's side on this one. I of course didn't stay behind, I had to take Naruto and Kakashi's side but only because I had enjoyed the annoyed look on Sasuke's face when I told him it would be cute to have our daughter fall in love with our best friend's son.
I'd spent the last five months hearing the four of them argue over it, it was quite amusing, I didn't bother. Of course this meant we wouldn't see what the baby was till I gave birth, it made the bet more fun.
Tsunade had disapproved of this, she did however knew the gender already from my regular checkups but since she knew what we were up to she had decided to keep it to herself, not even Shizune knew, she would give it away specially when put under pressure Tsunade was sure.
This made me feel a bit guilty, this would make a nice story for our baby to hear one day "Hey honey, did I ever tell you that your father, your uncles, and I were betting to see what gender you were going to be? funny right?" It was too embarrassing to even think about.
My parents had been surprised at first but not hateful nor anything of the sort to which I was grateful. They were loving the fact that they were going to be grandparents even when Sasuke and I weren't married yet, I didn't think we needed to be just because of the baby that was on the way.
I did wanted to get married with Sasuke, he just hadn't asked and it isn't like it was something that bugged me and was constantly on my mind, it would if I wasn't aware of just how much he loves me. If he ever did ask though, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes, I was sure about that much.
I smiled to myself as I kept making my way back to the Uchiha home, I had been with Ino, Hinata, and TenTen the whole morning for a girls meeting to catch up, we had all been so busy as of late. Ino had just gotten married with Chouji a mere month ago and she couldn't be any happier, TenTen had her own life to live and she did so with none other than Neji Hyuuga himself who had proposed not too long ago and they were well on their way to the altar.
I saw Hinata more for the simple fact that she was married to Naruto who has and always will be a part of my life, not forgetting Kakashi's and Sasuke's life as well, he was our family. He went by the house almost everyday and Hinata came along with Hiroshi from time to time.
We had all grown up so much, it was so nostalgic when we did get together specially when we talked about the past and how silly we all had been at a time. The girls couldn't be happier for me and my pregnancy, they thought I would fit the role of a mother just right and I hoped to dear god that they were right.
It was past two o'clock in the afternoon and the streets of Konoha were full with all kinds of people, young and old, ninja and civilian. Tsunade had put me on maternity leave from the hospital after my second month came around, she didn't want me to be stressing nor anything that may hurt the baby, that and Sasuke had almost driven her insane to do so.
You'd think he was overprotective before, now he was worse, though it wasn't annoying to have him worry about me even when he didn't need to, the baby and I were just fine, it was still sweet. He even stopped going on missions to stay with me, Tsunade had been annoyed with him for this even more and I didn't blame her but she let him get his way since she herself didn't want me to be alone.
Sasuke still trained of course but I had to go with him,I tell you I wasn't out of his sight if it could be helped. Naruto, Itachi and Kakashi were just as bad, I mean come on I'm not a little girl anymore and I had tried my best to show all of them that I would be fine but it went without any success.
Itachi had cleaned out the master bedroom that belonged to his parents with the help of Sasuke and it wasn't like they had done anything too drastic to it but it was more homey now, less gloomy. It had been Itachi's idea, he had suggested that with the baby coming Sasuke and I should get to have that room.
Sasuke hadn't hesitated as much as I had, not knowing if the memories would be too much for him to handle but he had assured me that he was fine, moving on wasn't easy but Itachi and Sasuke helped each other. So now we were sleeping there, Sasuke's old room would be the one the baby would use once he or she was born.
I hadn't gone baby shopping much, when I did I only got simple things like toys that could be played by both genders, I already had the crib and a few other things I would need. I made my way into Uchiha district then, all the kids in the neighborhood were out playing and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my lips as I said hi to each person I passed.
Suigetsu had gotten married to Karin less than three months ago, she had just found out she was pregnant last week and Suigetsu could not have been more happy. I smiled as I passed their house and Juugo's whom I'd heard not too long ago from Sasuke and Naruto that he had found a special lady of his own, she was one of the village girls, very nice and very gentle.
I made my way to the Uchiha house then, I knew Sasuke would be waiting with Naruto and Itachi. Naruto hadn't been on any missions since Hiroshi had been born, he wanted to spend some time with his own family.
Kakashi who was now dating Anko, we had all been surprised about that one,was still going to his missions, we were glad he had found someone who could give him a run for his money, that Anko was one hell of a fighter and one feisty woman.
Itachi did go on his own missions but he took long breaks, keeping me company when Sasuke and Naruto trained together, sometimes we would go and watch them from the sidelines, he would even join in at times.
The only reason none of them accompanied me to see the girls was because as protective as they were they knew not to mess with me nor push me too far, specially now that I had hormones as an excuse, that and I was just at Naruto's house with Hinata, they knew she would take care of me.
I reached the door then,stepping into the house and making my way to the living room where I knew they would be. When I reached the living room, Naruto was sitting in the small one person chair while Sasuke, Kakashi and Itachi sat on the big sofa, I made my way to them then as they saw me enter.
"Sakura" "Sakura-chan!" "Sakura" "Sakura" the four of them greeted at the same time.
I smiled as I kissed Sasuke on the lips, sat down on the couch in the middle of he and Itachi, Kakashi was sitting on Itachi's left, I then gave a small smile to Naruto, Kakashi and Itachi.
I took a deep breath as I placed my hand on my growing stomach, patting it "hey guys." I've already felt a few good kicks from the baby already, Sasuke had to, he had been the second person to feel it, we had been in bed a week ago just laying there when I'd suddenly felt the small kick. Sasuke's face had been priceless, so shocked and I didn't stay behind, I had felt mystified.
"How was your girls get together?" I heard Itachi ask as I felt Sasuke's hand on my stomach and then move on my shoulders, that was his own small way of greeting the baby but he of course wouldn't admit it, him and his pride.
"It was rather refreshing" I smiled wider as I rested my head on Sasuke's shoulders. I noticed something then "Weren't you supposed to be with Anko? Kakashi-sensei?" I looked his way. Itachi chuckled as I heard Kakashi sigh, I couldn't help the curiosity then, wondering what I'd missed.
"She got mad at him because he forgot that today was their date" Naruto was the one who answered. I giggled then, knowing full well how the two spent their days together, the occasional date though it was always training or at home where lets just say no one would be surprised if Kakashi would be a father himself any time soon.
When Anko got mad though it was best to get out of her way, it went on for days maybe, it was strange to see how such a mellow man like Kakashi was able to be with someone so wild and crazy as Anko. They were living together now after a year, somehow it just worked.
But it was obvious who the trouble maker had been this time around, Kakashi-sensei and his antics will get him killed one of these days.
"How was Hinata-chan doing?" Naruto asked then, he was still as overprotective as ever.
"She was doing fine, I left when she was trying to get Hiroshi to sleep" I chuckled, he did too knowing how hard it was to get that kid sleeping from personal experience, the same experience I, Sasuke, Itachi and Kakashi had as well. It was silent then as we turned to look toward the show that was currently on TV. I didn't mind the silence, it felt nice just to be here with my family.
End of Sakura's Pov
Sasuke's Pov
I hadn't known happiness before this moment, having Sakura sitting next to me pregnant with my, our baby was just this overwhelming feeling. That night when she had told me the news, I hadn't known how to react but the happiness was undeniable, my heart had felt so warm that I hadn't been able to help myself.
I had never imagined myself as a father but then again I had never imagined myself as anything in particular other than an avenger. I had been angry to find out about the bet my brother and Kakashi'd had but I had let the second one pass by, I knew I had surprised them all and that had been my plan.
I was trying to live my life now in days as freely as I was aloud, I had never known happiness this way, always tormented and bothered by bothersome thoughts but I was glad I was granted the chance to live this life.
I couldn't wait to be a father, I felt myself mentally smirk at the thought. It sounded nice, in my head I could see how Sakura would look holding a baby in her delicate arms and as pregnant as she looked right now she couldn't look more beautiful if she tried, of course I really wouldn't tell her that, I had my pride to protect, whatever was left of it.
I did however love to feel this baby kick, it always left me amazed and surprised, a feeling I rarely experienced.
I didn't care if the baby was a boy or a girl, I would love him or her just the same, I didn't care if the Dobe seemed to think that Hiroshi would fall in love with my baby girl, I would worry about boys trying to steal my little girl later on when the time was right.
I knew what kind of father I wanted to be though, I wanted to be like my father in many ways yet I didn't plan to be as strict as I remember him being. I wanted to let my kid know that no matter what I would be proud of him or her, I wouldn't make the mistakes he made or at least I would try not to.
I knew Sakura would help me if I got out of track, I knew the Dobe, Kakashi and Itachi would too, I wasn't too worried. I was beginning to think that I was becoming a huge softy and the weird part was that I was enjoying it, part of me knew this was true but the other part of me tried to denied the truth, that was the part I didn't listen to much anymore.
I looked to Naruto who was paying attention to the TV, my second brother whom I would never admit to that I loved him as such was also getting his chance at a new family. I was happy for him, I really was.
I looked back down at Sakura, I couldn't help the warm feeling she always gave me. I was proud that she would be the one giving birth to the future of the Uchiha clan, a new improved clan with no secrets that would later on come and haunt us all. I turned to look back at the TV then without a word.
End of Sasuke's Pov
Itachi's Pov
I mentally smirked, well aware of the look Sasuke had just given Sakura, a look of devotion, a look that could only be described with the word love. My brother was finally getting what he deserved after all the pain he had suffered.
I couldn't imagine what would be of my brother without Sakura by his side, she was the only girl willing to actually get past all of his faults and looks to really be able to get to know the person inside him,no matter how dark he had been at a time.
I also couldn't imagine his life without Naruto, whom I was secretly jealous of in a way, more of a brother than I've ever been but I was grateful of the many times Naruto had saved Sasuke when I couldn't.
All those years with Akatsuki and not a single day passed where I regretted every single thing I had done, what I had put my brother threw. My grief, my torment had been put to an end when I had witness for myself all those whom Sasuke had abandoned save his life, showing him that everyone deserved a second chance.
When my brother had forgiven and understood my motives behind the actions I had taken, I had then began to forgive myself, something I could never do before. My mistakes were those I could not take back even if I wanted to, something Sasuke had also learned the hard way, I could however do more good to make up for all the damage I'd caused.
I was excited for what was coming, the Uchiha line would continue on and Sasuke and I would make sure that nothing from the past would come and damage that. We would not be that old arrogant Uchiha clan that existed before, we wouldn't live to betray one another, we wouldn't betray our blood for power.
I was sure Sakura would make a wonderful mother, she was gentle and caring. I did have my doubts about Sasuke, that would be something amusing to witness, I could feel another bet coming between Kakashi and I.
It was rather funny to see Sasuke behave like an overprotective lover, from what I had heard from Naruto and Kakashi, this was a huge change in attitude from back when they were Gennin. I was glad to see that he had found his way back to life and I was even more glad to see this happen with my own two eyes.
I knew it wouldn't be so bad though, I knew Sasuke would make sure not to make the same mistakes our father had made back when we were still just kids. I continued to watch the show that was currently on silently as I keep thinking ahead of the future.
End of Itachi's Pov
Kakashi's Pov
It didn't take me long to leave the Uchiha house, I had a girlfriend to apologize to, a really pissed off Anko was never good news to me.
I kept making my way threw the streets of Konoha in no hurry at all, I knew how to get her to forgive me, it was just hard. I didn't know how I had ended up falling for this woman but I guess the saying was right,opposites do attract, I smiled then.
This brought Sasuke and Sakura to mind, it always did. Those kids were finally together and they were finally beginning a family of their own. I never said it out loud enough but I was proud of them both.
I was proud that Sasuke had returned to us, I was proud for the way he took full responsibility of his actions, I was proud of just how strong he had become both mentally and physically. I was glad Itachi was back with him, Itachi whom had been in so much pain and grief was finally out of his misery, he was finally able to live the life of the peaceful man he had once hoped to live.
I was proud of Sakura for becoming strong which had been her number one priority to be able to save Sasuke,to be able to stick up for herself, she was no longer that little girl who needed saving once upon a time.
I was proud to say that I was their Sensei, hell I was even proud of Naruto. He had grown the most in my eyes. Naruto who had always been so clueless and would always struggle had proved to everyone that he was strong enough time after time when we all doubted him. Hinata made him a better man with her influence.
The ninja world was changing, slowly but surely into a better place and I was sure Naruto would make sure of it when he reached his goal as Hokage, he was almost there.
I smiled to myself reaching my destination but then the smiled disappeared as fast as it had come, I sigh then thinking of what was waiting for me inside the small two bedroom house. It would be a miracle if I lived to see tomorrow.
End of Kakashi's Pov
Naruto's Pov
I smiled to myself as I walked the chilly streets of Konoha, passing by a few familiar smiling faces as I went by. I had just left the Uchiha house about six or so hours after Sakura-chan had returned, Kakashi had left three hours before me to face his doom, I couldn't help the mental smirk then.
I was sure it was past nine or ten o'clock,the sky was dark and the moon was out, Sakura had been unsurprised when I had turned her down for her dinner invite, she understood where I wanted to be.
I knew Hinata-chan was fine with Hiroshi under control but I still didn't enjoy being too far away from her. I would have never thought I would love anyone as much as I loved her, she was simply amazing, so understanding, so caring and gentle.
She was such a great mother too, not a day went by where I wouldn't count my lucky stars for this woman. Ever since her confession, ever since I had given myself a chance to see clearly, we had been inseparable, always by each others side.
That didn't mean Hiashi had been thrilled with the idea of Hinata being in love with me but when I had thought that he would be a huge problem in our new found relationship, he hadn't been, he had been happy for his daughter.
I didn't see why people thought of him as a cold man, he wasn't, strict yes but he was also a caring father who wanted nothing more than the better good for his daughter. He did almost go psycho when Hanabi had come home saying that she was now dating Konohamaru, that she loved him. I had been there that day.
I will never forget the way Konohamaru stood up for the way he felt toward her, I had never been more proud of that kid in all my years of knowing him. Hiashi'd had no choice but to accept that his youngest daughter wasn't so young anymore.
My smile grew as I made my way into the medium sized house that was now mine and Hinata's cozy home. We had moved in here less than a year ago. I had wanted to get a bigger place knowing how she had lived at the Hyuuga's compound, trying as best as I could to make her feel at home, she had objected of course, saying that home was where I was.
God did I love her.
I made my way into the house, knowing where she would be, I made my way silently to Hiroshi's room. When I reached my destination, I couldn't help the warm feeling that overwhelmed my chest, there she was sitting on the rocking chair with Hiroshi's sleeping body in her arms, the moonlight on her perfect pale skin.
She turn to look at me then, the shy smile I loved so much became visible in her features. She hadn't changed one bit, more confident that she was but she was still that shy, nice helpful girl from the academy. I had so much to owe her, my happiness.
I was glad Sasuke was getting to experience the same thing because even though he didn't say it often enough, I knew he loved Sakura-chan with all his might just like I loved Hinata-chan with mine. I would always be where that Teme needed me to be whether he liked it or not, he knew that and I'd proven that enough over the years.
I had been there when he needed saving from himself, I would be here when he needed saving from any future torment though I doubted Sakura-chan would let him fall, I wouldn't let him nor would Kakashi and Itachi.
But standing here watching her with my son, our son in her arms, I knew that I would never choose anything else over this, my family. I knew I had to be the luckiest man in the world.
"Your making me wish your father would have completely destroyed me,you humans and your emotions" I heard Kyuubi's dark voice complain, I chuckled choosing to ignore his oncoming rant as I made my way to my wife's side, where I belonged.
End of Naruto's Pov
Sakura's Pov
Four more months have now passed and I was nine months pregnant now, ready to burst. I looked huge but I didn't complain of course. I sigh as I looked around the living room, I was sitting next to Itachi, Sasuke on my other side and Naruto stretched out on the single person seat. It was close to two in the afternoon.
Naruto had come by like he did every morning without Hinata today, she had taken Hiroshi to Hiashi for a visit. Naruto and Sasuke had spent the whole morning training in the Uchiha backyard, nothing too rough while Itachi and I had watched from the porch.
We had moved to the living room after an hour or so, the heat outside was starting to kill me, summer time in Konoha was good sometimes but with my huge belly it was just impossible to feel comfortable.
"So bored, so hot" I rolled my eyes, this had been the fourth time in an hour that Naruto complained.
"Shut it Dobe" I looked at Sasuke, who had his arm around my shoulder, he had that annoyed look in his eyes, the one that said "Your annoying me, shut it or I'll kill you."
"but Teme!" Naruto whined, fanning himself with a piece of paper "Its so hot! I'm gonna die of a heatstroke!"
Itachi sigh "Naruto if you wouldn't move so much you wouldn't feel the heat so badly."
"I don't know how Hinata puts up with you Dobe, seriously" Sasuke spoke, annoyed.
I giggled at the desperate and insulted look on Naruto's face, I began to stand then, I needed a cool drink so I might as well make something for Naruto too before he died as he complained he would just now. Naruto was so dramatic sometimes, he never changed.
I was stopped short thought, I looked down at my hand and then at Sasuke, he had a stern look on his face and I knew where this was going.
"I'm only making us some lemonade Sasuke, I think I can handle that" my voice came out annoyed though my smile betrayed me, he was so careful with me.
He shook his head, pulling me softly down to sit back on the couch as he stood up "I'll get them" He turned to glare at Naruto and left to the kitchen.
I saw Itachi shake his head as I made myself conferable again, I knew he thought Sasuke was overreacting but he was just as bad sometimes. Sasuke came back with two cups of lemonade a few minutes later,giving Naruto his cup with a scowl as Naruto grinned at him, I smiled as he gave me my cup,he took his place next to me again.
"You worry too much Sasuke" I murmured as I took a sip of the cold lemonade, nice remedy for the heat.
Naruto was first to speak "We gotta take care of you Sakura-chan!" I rolled my eyes, I felt sorry for Hinata knowing that she had gone threw the same exact thing before with Naruto, that had been worse, literally.
Whenever she would want to go somewhere, he would carry her, it had been funny up until now, now that I was in her position, I'd had to send a few good punches to Naruto's way for even trying to carry me to one of my check ups.
I smiled "You three are spoiling m-" it was the sudden pain that stopped me right on my tacks, a pain that came from my swollen stomach, I then felt the wetness between my legs. I immediately knew what was going on, I was a doctor myself and it didn't take a genius to know.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto questioned, aware of my sudden stop, I felt Itachi's stare on me, Sasuke's too. I placed my hand on Sasuke's knee then, turning to look at him.
My other hand made its way on my stomach "Sasuke...my water broke" I saw his eyes grow wide, it was silent then.
"Oh" I heard Naruto start.
"My" Itachi continued.
"God" Sasuke ended as the three stood up fast. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips as I saw the three of them rush to get everything ready to head out to the hospital, today would be unforgettable. I stood up then when Sasuke reached me, I smiled at him, he smirked back as we all turned to make our way to Konoha's hospital, where I was certain Tsunade would be delivering my baby.
End of Sakura's Pov
Sasuke's Pov
I found the need to pace around the hallway as Naruto, Kakashi and Itachi sat on the bench, it was the only thing I could do from driving myself insane. It didn't take us too long to arrive at the hospital,Tsunade had been here already, she had made Itachi, Naruto and I wait outside as she worked on a strangely calm Sakura, funny how we had been so nervous and panicky on the way here when she was the one who needed to be.
Kakashi had arrived not too long after, Tsunade had sent someone for him when she had been convinced that none of us had the intentions of leaving. I was nervous, I admit it. It wasn't the kind of nervous one feels when they fear something bad will happen, nothing compare to that.
I was nervous in an excited way, I was upset I couldn't be present to see my son being born but I was even more upset that I wasn't there to help Sakura in any way.
"Teme calm down, your starting to make me dizzy" I glared at Naruto as I kept pacing.
Itachi sigh "seriously Sasuke, she'll be fine." Kakashi chuckled when I didn't respond, I only kept pacing. It felt like an hour had passed when I finally heard food steps coming our way, I looked down the hall, a small nurse was making her way to us.
"Mr Uchiha Sasuke?" I raised an eyebrow "Sakura is ready for you to see her now" I felt myself gulp then, I looked back at Itachi, Kakashi and Naruto, they all smiled, I smirked and without another word I followed the nurse.
When I reached the door I opened it without any hesitation and what I saw left me breathless, that seemed to happen a lot lately. There on the one person hospital bed laid Sakura, holding something that was was wrapped with a white blanket, I couldn't help the small smile as she noticed me.
My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest as I noticed the tears that threatened to escape her eyes, I knew they were happy tears, I made my way to her side then. It didn't take me long to get to her, I stood next to her bed staring down at her, her smile never faltered, she looked down to the small baby in her arms and back at me, I looked past her eyes then and my heart felt like it had stopped.
Turns out I had been wrong to assume I would be the proud father of a boy, I had lost the bet but I didn't care. I was now a proud father of a beautiful baby girl. It hit me then, I was now a father, a father, me the once cold almighty revenge crazed Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke" I looked back at Sakura, her smile still in place as she offered me the baby, she wanted me to hold her. I hesitated for a moment, I didn't think I was ready, I felt like I would pull a Naruto and drop her or something.
"Its ok, just make sure you have a firm hold" I hesitated again for a moment before taking the small baby from her arms.
I looked down at the baby girl, she was so beautiful, I could see a small mesh of her hair, it was raven black just like mine. Her skin was as white as mine too but she had a hint of pink on her checks that made her look simply divine.
I looked at her eyes then as they opened and closed sleepily, they were the same shade of green as Sakura's are. Her little hands opened and closed as if to reach for my face. I lifted a finger then, giving it to her, she gave a small toothless loopy smile and I couldn't help my own.
"Hey" I greeted awkwardly, she made one of her weird little odd sounds,I turned to look at Sakura then, she was smiling at me. I gave her my smirk as I bent down carefully to kiss her on the lips and then her forehead "Thank you Sakura" I whispered, I had never been more grateful in my entire life.
She smiled again "No Sasuke, thank you." I looked back at our daughter, she was still grabbing my finger, I looked back down at Sakura, we needed a name for her.
"What shall we name her?" She asked, as if she could read my mind. I looked back at the baby girl in my arms, she was a new light that would join my other ones. Sakura, Itachi, Naruto, Kakashi, she would lead my way with them.
She was a light and I knew then the perfect name for her as she kept giggling away. I looked at Sakura "Hikari, lets name her Hikari."
Sakura smiled in approval "Hikari" She repeated "Its perfect" her smile grew. At that moment I was well aware of when Itachi, Kakashi, and Naruto entered with Tsunade but I didn't turn to them, too engrossed by my daughter again.
"Yes! Hiroshi has a girlfriend!" I heard the Dobe's voice, I chose to ignore him, I would hit him later on when my arms were free and Hikari was safe in Sakura's arms. After Naruto, Itachi, and Kakashi had their turn carrying Hikari, they were all ordered by Tsunade to leave us be, they would be allowed to come by later. I was currently sitting at the head of the bed, next to Sakura who was now breastfeeding the small baby in her arms.
I couldn't help but wonder then what the future would bring us, I was sure it would be nothing I couldn't handle if I had Sakura by my side, I loved Sakura and I was sure she knew this even when I didn't say it often out loud. I loved the gloating look she gave our daughter as she cleaned her up.
I heard Sakura giggled then "Shes just so adorable" I looked at Hikari in her arms, giggling away with her mother, I guess we knew who she took after and I did not mind one bit. I was suddenly aware of what needed to be done, something I'd been thinking even before the baby, I just never got around to do it.
"Sakura" I whispered, she looked up then with an eye brow raised.
"Yes Sasuke?" She questioned when I didn't continue. I looked to Hikari, she was too busy playing with Sakura's shirt, I looked back then.
"Marry me" I gave her my famous smirk.
She smiled "Of course" she looked back at Hikari. She knew me better than anyone.
She knew how bad with words I was, she knew of the dark past I had lived, she knew me inside and out, I had rejected her many times in the past but she never gave up on me, none of that mattered to her, none of my faults had made her ever doubt me, she had always been by my side.
There was no doubt in my mind that Sakura, as weird as it may seemed to others, was perfect for me. I had paid for my mistakes and I now had a chance to enjoy the light side of life and with my future wife, daughter, best friend, Sensei and brother by my side, I knew there was nothing to fear, nothing that could stop me, my life was finally mine to control.

The end
I hope you all enjoyed this story and the epilogue as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone with the way I presented the characters nor that it cheesy to the point where it was bad.
-Japanese name meanings-
Hikari means light.
Hiroshi could mean tolerant, generous, or even prosperous.
I also hope everyone enjoyed the different povs I used in this, I wanted to put everyone's thoughts in here as much as it was possible.
So reviews would be appreciated and I will see you all next time,
