Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Note: Okay, so I'm practically in love with this story. I don't know why, but I find it so cute and beautiful and all together amazing. Is that kinda conceited? Anyways, I talk in my sleep so it works too. Plus, it's in first person in the eyes of Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, who I didn't come up with a name for, though, it doesn't really matter.

Warning: Kinda (KINDA) sad/comfort-ness-ish, if that makes sense? There are also some references to things, but the little girl doesn't know what it means. And there goes the crack-ness, but only if you squint really, really hard.

Thanks To: Smoke13 for proofreading this and telling me what she thinks beforehand, Christina, my best friend who came up with the idea, and Meaghan (SoFunkyFresh) for actually reading these stories that she knows nothing about (the show, Naruto) but still reads them! I feel loved! Oh, and Ali too (Temari No Subaku) when she gets the chance! Love ya babes! (Sorry that was so long)

Dedicated to: My darling daddy who gave me the genes of sleep-talking, for if I didn't talk in my sleep every night and scream out Jen's name, then I would never have written this!

Reminder: None of these have anything to do with each other (the one-shots!)

And So They Unconsciously Confessed

"I really don't like your new haircut."

"I really hate it when you leave the toilet seat open."

"I think you've gained a few pounds. Stop eating those desserts and such."

Mommy and daddy have been randomly spouting out these incoherent thoughts for almost a half an hour. I was just lying peacefully in my bed when I heard my mom speaking. I quickly ran into the room, and found them to be both asleep, yet talking to each other.

I think this is called sleep talking, but I could be wrong. This could also just be some weird way that they vent out their feelings to each other. Mikoto came up with that one. She's such a little smarty pants just because she turned ten last month! Plus, she probably just gets all her information out of Sakuzi. He's twelve, so he must be good at this stuff. But, I'm still knowledgeable! I'm seven for Kami-sama's sake!

Well, Mikoto left the room about two minutes ago for she said this was boring. I called her in once I heard the noises, but she didn't care. I don't get why she couldn't. Our parents where just saying secrets like it was nothing! I could find out that mommy isn't really my mother! Although, it'd be hard to believe since I have her pink hair and daddy's black eyes.

Who even knew that they talked in their sleep? Uncle Kakashi once said that they're noisy when they would go on missions together and have to stay overnight. Sakuzi just snorted at that and smirked obnoxiously. I asked him what that could have meant, but he refused to answer.

"I hate when you fight with Naruto." Oh, there goes mommy yet again! And she's talking about Uncle Naruto.

"I hate it when you go and hang out with your girlfriends. I want you to be with me." Aw! That one was so cute! Kudos daddy, kudos.

I've never heard of such a thing occurring right now. They're just opening up and saying things. I wonder if they can understand what each other is saying. Wouldn't that be crazy?

These things that they say are pretty funny, actually. Mommy would so kill daddy for commenting on her weight. Although, I think she's getting another visit from the stork. I saw her talking to Tsunade-san about pregnancy yesterday. Plus, daddy's always talking about 'restoring his clan'. Sakuzi says it's something to do with daddy's crazy brother doing some slaughtering or whatever. That doesn't sound very sanitary.

"I hate the way you proposed." Well, that can be understood. He apparently did some lousy thing with him saying that he wanted her to 'help him rebuild his clan'. See, there goes the clan thing. I have some serious information to find out tomorrow!

"I hate the way you never wore your engagement ring for the first three months of us being fiancés." Mommy didn't wear her ring? I don't see why not. That thing is beautiful with its simple silver band and a stunning diamond lying perfectly on top. Who wouldn't wear that dazzling thing?

"I hate how you never build up the sexual emotion. You just say that we're going to have it tonight and that's what we do. I feel no romance." Well what does 'sexual emotion' mean? And 'having it tonight'? Maybe there going to have a tea party! Yeah! Well, I'll make sure to ask Sakuzi tomorrow!

"I hate making you cry." Daddy makes mommy cry? I've seen her cry before, at the death of a few people. But I've never seen daddy make her cry. What exactly happened with them? I mean, I may be a little kid, but married people just don't act like this toward each other!

"I never really forgave you." Wow, what's that supposed to mean? That sounds pretty deep coming from mommy. She is awfully emotional. Especially when she was giving birth to Haruku a year ago. She was crazy then!

Anyway, back to the forgiving. I think I hear crying! That could be so terrible! What happened? I'll really have to ask this tomorrow. I need an answer but everyone in this darn house is asleep! What, it's only three in the morning? People just can't stand the heat sometimes…

"I never forgave myself for leaving you." When did daddy leave? What if daddy is going to leave?

"I hate that you never care." Daddy does care! He hugs you and kisses you on the cheek sometimes, and he walks you to the hospital everyday! He loves you so much!

"I hate that you always made me care. That you'd always effect my emotions like no other." Mommy did have that kind of effect on people.

"I hate that I love you." Why would mommy hate such a thing as loving daddy? She's always loved daddy! She told me that she did at the mere age of five! Why does she hate it?

"I hate that I've never told you that I love you." Daddy never told mommy 'those three magic words' (as Mikoto puts it)? That's crazy! I mean, he never did say it to her, in my presence anyway. But I just assumed that since daddy's a pretty reserved kind of guy, that he did it in private. But apparently not.

"I hate that you'll never love me." Now I definitely heard sobs coming out, but I'm positive that they're both asleep. I'm stand right at the futon and they would've stopped if they heard me.

"I love you." Daddy whispered out this declaration and I could barely hear it. But apparently mommy did since she instantly moved closer and daddy turned around so that he was facing her back. He put an arm around her waist – still unconscious, by the way – and brought her closer to him.

He kept murmuring 'I love you'-s into her ear over again.

This was a rather weird encounter indeed. Sure, I may be seven, but I can understand true love. As mommy puts it, I'm a 'hopeless romantic just like herself'. Hopeless sounds pretty depressing, but the romantic part's kinda cool, you know?

Anyway, I know true love. And mommy and daddy have it. Sure, they don't show any signs of PDA ('Public Display of Affection', from – whodda thunk – Mikoto) but, there is still love.

I can sense it by the way he gets protective if a man comes near her. The way he looks so tenderly at her when she's looking away. The way he holds her hand at the dinner table and he thinks I can't see, but I can! The way he gently places his hand on her knee when she gets nervous or scared. The way he kisses her when he returns from a long mission, like there is no where in the world he'd like to be than right there.

With his family.

With the people who care about him.

With the people he cares for.

With her.

Yup, with her.

Mommy.

He loves mommy and mommy loves him. Sure, I bet it is hard sometimes and there is some unrequited love at times, but love shall always prevail.

Like one of Mikoto's cheesy romance books, written by some dead white guy, once said:

The course of true love never did run smooth.
