Author's Note: So... like, I'm one of those that writes every last thing before she posts it... or at least the majority of it. This has been completed in the document it is saved on, it will just take some time to get everything posted.
Well...
Enjoy chapter 2!


2. Sleep

"Itachi…"

"Asuna, stop it."

"Itachi-chan…"

"I'm serious."

"Itachi-kun."

"No."

Huffing, the twenty-three-year-old woman, Asuna, gave a glare to her twenty-eight-year-old husband.

"Itachi!"

"What?!"

Asuna shrunk back a bit, staring at Itachi before narrowing her eyes.

"Man, you are a jerk sometimes!"

Rolling his eyes, Itachi tried hard not to reply with sarcasm to his wife.

"Maybe that's because you're annoying me when I'm trying to get work done."

"But… but it's two in the morning!"

"Then why are you up?"

Asuna shrugged, and then pointed down the hall.

"Emiko was crying. Did you not hear her?"

Itachi just shook his head.

Asuna jumped up every time their ten-month-old daughter, Emiko, cried in the night.

Even when it was just a whimper!

"I doubt she was crying. Was she whimpering again?"

Asuna's face went a pale pink, and Itachi knew he had it right.

"I'm right, aren't I?"

"She was about to cry!"

"Asuna."

"…Yes?"

"Go to sleep."

"Not without you, Itachi."

Shaking his head and sighing, Itachi got up from his place and turned the lamp off, much to Asuna's delight and she headed back to their room.

This woman…she seriously can't sleep without me in the bed, can she?
