Hey-all!

So here is my try at a continuation of this story. Let me know your thoughts on it.

This Disclaimer is brought to you by Sakura:

- Hello! Eddy LP does not own me and Naru-kun, but he was kind enough to make a fiction where we are together! Kishimoto-chan is still upset after losing to me in Shogi, so he is delaying our love on purpose! That big meanie… Well, that and also because he is trying to get as much money from Naru-Hina and Sasu-Saku fans as he possibly can before causing them to riot against him by stopping to buy/watch Naruto stuff! He is smart and evil; or as I call him, smavil…

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: The Future shines bright

...

The streets of Konoha were packed with movement. Stores open and with plenty of business. Once in a while shinobi were seen jumping from the rooftops of buildings.

By the park, kids were playing in grassy fields. Ice-cream sellers were stationed nearby, eager to sell their merchandise. The sun wasn't so high in the sky anymore, but the warmth was still in the air.

All in all, a great hour to go outside in what is the best weather Konoha had since the start of this year.

So this brings the question as to why a certain pinkette is still head deep in sleep, in the middle of a nap that in any other day would never last as long.

Sunlight peaked through the window, a light snore came from right beside her, birds chirped outside and even sounds were coming from beyond the closed door, originating from a 4 year old girl who was purposely not being careful in not making noises… annoyed at why weren't her parents awake yet as she was eager to go outside.

But to Sakura, that all seemed very distant. The smile on her face wouldn't leave no matter what as she snuggled deeper into what might now be, to her, the most confortable thing she ever had by her side during sleep. The occasional light snore that it gives is nothing compared to the warm energy it irradiates. Who needs that sun outside when you have your personal shining orb in your grasp?

An orb who actually had hands that would wrap protectively around you and softly stroke your hair, even in his sleep… and legs that would intertwine with yours in an intimate entanglement.

…

Purrs escape from him every time her hand grazes one of his whiskers while gently massaging his cheek, making the pinkette smile even wider… eventually releasing a cute giggle directed at the blonde.

His eyes open ever so slowly, taking in inch by inch the sight that greeted sleepy blue-eyes. Green-eyes shinned in mirth, joy and bliss… noses touch side by side, as Sakura captures Naruto's lips with her own.

"Hey, sleepy-head…" she greeted against him, pulling away with a kind of smile that, she vowed, only he would ever see.

His eyes told her that his brain was still trying to grasp where he was. As enlightenment made its way to him, his expression changed into realization, and then wide-eyes filled with shock… followed by an open-mouthed smile filled with happiness which was how it stayed. "Wow… by far, the best wakeup call I ever got."

"Move in with us." She said out of nowhere. His eyes turned thoughtful, and she knew where this was going.

He started, "Ok-"

"In here… in this room, in this bed." She said cutting him off. She had a feeling he was going to agree to move in, but into one of the other rooms, which was not what she wanted.

He stared at her, considering this as well as his next words. "A-are you sure? I don't mind going slow and waiting until you're read-"

"You've waited for me long enough." She said, eyes filled with emotion, "I love you. I want to be with you. I want you to be with us." The pinkette said, not forgetting about Izumi.

He hugged her tightly, "I-I always wanted to have a family someday… with you. I just don't want to mess this up." He confessed.

Neither one of them had any experience in relationships, but Sakura knows that what they have is strong. However, she completely understands him who, unlike her, did not grow up in a family. Naruto did not have his parents there with him.

"Look at me, Naru-kun." He did, and looking right into his eyes with the most honest expression she could muster, Sakura said: "You have me, you have Izumi. We are your family, and we will always be with you! No matter what, I'll be right beside you… always."

Naruto didn't look shocked, he looked… relieved, and really happy. That made her happy too. He then planted a long and passionate kiss on the pinkette.

He chuckled after, "That almost sounded like a proposal hehe" he joked, to which she responded by squeezing his hand affectionately.

"What if it… was?" she asked, her cheeks a little flushed. The green-eyed young women didn't know if he was ready… but she felt ready.

He looked startled for a second. Then, realizing she was serious, "Holy sh-" she raised an eye-brow. "I-I mean… yes! Hell yeah even!" he shouted with excitement.

She hugged him, "Good… I'll make sure you have nice wakeups every morning"

"Wow… this day is changing from great to awesome." She laughed, nodding in agreement.

"Come on, let's tell Izumi."

…

"Finally! I was won-de-ring if you were gonna sleep until morning!" an annoyed brown-eyed toddler whined to her parents.

The pinkette yawned, "Sorry sweetie, but daddy makes a very confortable pillow" she said, smirking at her daughter.

"H-hey! You were ho-ho-hoggg…"

"Hogging." The blonde assisted.

"Hogging him! He is my pillow too!" Izumi argued back. She also liked to snuggle against him.

"He is mine!" Sakura shouted.

"Is not!" his daughter shouted back.

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

Naruto was looking back and forth with a sweat-drop. Crazy women… "Where have I gotten myself into?"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"I'm marrying him! Ah! I win!" the young women declared, sticking her tongue out at Izumi.

"Na-ah! I am-What?" the black-haired little girl stopped mid-sentence with eyes-wide. "R-really?" Her mother gave a smile and an excited nod. The 4year old ran towards her, jumping into her arms.

Both squealed as the pinkette twirled her daughter around. She then stopped and threw Izumi into Naruto, who hugged the little girl. Sakura went to them and hugged both while giving her fiancé a big passionate kiss.

The toddler sure was happy. Not only did her parents become a couple today, they were also engaged, and all 3 were going to live together, and…

"Only nine more months now! Ahah!" she cheered. Both parents became confused.

"9 months?" her father asked. She gave several fast nods.

"Yeah! Till I get a brother, remember? Mommy promised! And then it's another 9 until I get a sister!" she explained.

Sakura choked and Naruto became red.

"I-Izumi…" the young women started, "Err…" Both knew that for it to be 9 months, they would have to…

"It d-doesn't work like t-that Izumi" the blonde tried.

"It doesn't? Mommy taught me before that it takes about 9 months." The confused little girl told them.

"Yes, b-but first… err, we need to love each other" the pinkette tried, but it also ended up weird. They just didn't want to have 'the talk' right now.

"But you already do, don't you?" the toddler asked, confusion still marring her cute face.

"O-of course! W-what I mean is…" Feeling cornered, she looked to Naruto for help, who in turn sniffed the air multiple times.

"I smell ice-cream in the direction of the park" was what came out of his mouth. Sakura gave him an incredulous expression that screamed 'How the hell is that any help?'; but…

The toddler's eyes grew big, her mouth open in a silent plea. The previous conversation was jettisoned from her mind so fast it would make the 'flying-thunder-god' weep with jealousy.

"Can we? Can we?" She asked while jumping up and down. The jinchuuriki smirked.

"Lead the way!" he said, chuckling and the cheer Izumi gave, before running out the front door. He turned to Sakura, who had her mouth open in shock, and winked. "After you, love"

Snapping out of her stupor, she looked at him with a big smile. "Wow… he is and will make an incredible father" she thought, finding the prospect, of having 2 children with him, a pleasant one.

Before walking out after her daughter, the pinkette reached up to give her baka a passionate 10-second kiss, acknowledging his gentlemanly attitude…

Naruto followed after locking the door behind him. His face in a 100-Watt smile, and his mind filled with thoughts of a laughing Sakura, an ice-cream smeared Izumi, and of course… Ramen.

…

I know it was a little small, but since I wasn't initially thinking on making this more than a 1-shot, it was kinda difficult to come up with anything at all. Well, that and because I haven't written anything in 2 months due to my annoyingly busy life…

Anyway… what do you guys think?

Let me know ;D

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Have a nice day!
