The morning sun came shinning through Hinata's hospital room. Sasuke noticed how peaceful she was sleeping, but it's time to wake up. "Hinata, Hinata honey time to wake up." Sasuke shook her up Hinata moaned letting him know that she wanted to sleep some more, but he knows how to get her up. "Hinata I'm going to keep kissing you if you don't wake up." At an instant Hinata got up and shielded herself with the blanket hiding her red face. "Sa-Sasuke that's not funny. Mou you're so mean." Hinata said out of embarrassment. Sasuke smiled he always love teasing her. "Sakura said we can go home with Itachi. Besides I'm sure you would want to sleep in our bed again. You got a visitor." Hinata looked up to see Itachi wrapped up in his blanket in Sasuke's arms. "Hi sweetie did you miss mommy?" Hinata said as she took him from Sasuke's arms. Itachi looked up at his mother and gave her a happy gurgle. Hinata loves him to the point that she didn't want to let him go.
As soon as Hinata changed her clothes Sasuke signed them out of the hospital. They walked through the village and ran into Ino. "Hey Sasuke and Hinata you guys going are heading home?" "Yes Ino-chan" 'Why is she here?' "Oh is that your baby! It's so cute!" Ino shouted. Itachi wasn't used to loud noises just any other newborn was so he started crying. "Shh there, there sweetie don't cry its ok. Momma's here." She said as was she rubbing back to soothe him. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry little cutie." Ino said as she caressed his cheek with her finger. Sasuke's eye twitched at the word 'cutie' knowing how his son is going to have a crazy fan club when he gets older. 'Itachi I'm sorry that you'll have to suffer like I did when you're older' Sasuke thought remembering his days in the academy. Hinata looked at her husband with a confused look on her face , but kind of understood what he was thinking.
"Well I got to go I'll see you guys later especially you Itachi-kun bye-bye" Ino said while rushing off with a smirk on her face like she was planning something. 'I wonder what's she's up to.' Sasuke and Hinata had the same thought knowing how sneaky Ino can be. They ignored the thought and continued there walk home. When they got to the house in the Uchiha district which has been reconstructed since Sasuke's return. Sasuke took out his key and unlocked the front door. He stepped in first with Hinata following from behind with the baby in her arms. "Why's it so dark in here?" Sasuke asked with a little frustration he flicked the light switch to the living room. All of there friends and family jumped out there hiding places and yelled "SURPRISE!" They jumped back and was completely shocked "Wha-what is all this?" Hinata asked out of shock. "It's a welcoming party." Naruto said with excitement. "For the newest addition to your family." Sakura said with the same emotion "For Itachi?" Sasuke questioned. "It was all Ino's idea she planned it two weeks ago. It was such a drag that she bossed around, but in the we managed to get everything done in time." Shikamaru said with annoyance while smiling. " Well what are we waiting for let's party." Ino said softly so Itachi wouldn't wake up.
The party went on everyone was having a great time. All the kunoichi got to hold the Itachi once he woke up for attention. "Aw Hinata he is so cute." Tenten said while tickling his nose. "Yeah he is kind of cute." Temari agreed. "Thanks you guys. I just hope I can be a good mother to him." "Ha are you kidding you're going to be the best mother ever." Ino said. While the girls were talking with each other Sasuke and the guys were having there own talk.
"So Sasuke how does it feel being a dad so far?" Naruto asked when he was offering him a cup of punch. "It's really good so far. I'm just happy that this is a new beginning for the Uchiha clan." "Yeah you're going to be a great dad teme. I'm really proud of you." Naruto said grinning "Thanks dobe" "You're welcome teme."
After everyone left for the night it was time for Sasuke and Hinata to get ready for bed. Itachi was changed into one of his new baby pajamas and Hinata nursed him while Sasuke brushed his teeth. Sasuke put Itachi in his crib and turned on the mobile a soothing lullaby. Sasuke and Hinata took one last look at their son and caressed his cheek. "Goodnight son." Sasuke said and leaned in and kissed his cheek. "We love you sweetie sweet dreams." Hinata kissed his cheek as well and went out after Sasuke and turned off the light. A few hours later Itachi's crying could be heard from the baby monitor. Hinata slowly opened her eyes until she felt a hand on her shoulder. "No, no Hinata I'll go." Sasuke said and kissed her cheek and left the room.
Sasuke entered the room and picked his son. "Hey what's wrong little guy?" When he recognized his father's voice Itachi stopped crying and looked up to see his father. "Hey I got an idea how about if daddy rocks you back to sleep." Sasuke said as he sat in the rocking chair near the window.
As Sasuke rocked Itachi back and forth he looked down at his son whose eyes was dropping. "You don't have to worry about anything bad happen to you. I will protect you and your mother and I'll make sure that you don't experience the same thing I did." He down at his son again who was fast asleep he got up from the chair and placed Itachi back in his crib. He stroked his little patch of black hair and said "Daddy loves you Itachi." Sasuke went back to bed with Hinata and slept for the rest of the night.
