Chapter 2: Day 56

Sanosuke blinked, staring up at the mobile slowly spinning over his crib. Honestly, it was starting to make him dizzy. The eight week old boy was being as silent as he could be while lying there, waiting for either his mother or father to come and pick him up.

Usually, if he desperately wanted picked up, he would start crying to get the attention of whoever was nearby and not doing anything. The rest of the time, he was as quiet as could be, whether he was lying in his crib or on a blanket on the floor, or being held by someone. When his aunt Asuna met him, she even commented on it.

"Sakura, he's so quiet! Almost like Reyke!"

"Well… he is Sasuke's son."

Sanosuke was only quiet until he needed something, or missed his parents.

"Hey, you. How long have you been up?" Sanosuke almost jumped a bit when he saw his mother lean over his crib and smile at him. He hadn't heard her come in as he was staring at that fascinating mobile. Who cared if it just had sheep and chicks on it? It was mesmerizing to a two-month-old.

Sakura laughed when she saw Sanosuke's shocked face, picking him up and kissing his cheek.

"I love you, chubby baby."

Sanosuke blinked once again, cooing as he snuggled into Sakura's arms.

"You know what, cutie?" Sakura smiled as he stared at her, his dark eyes looking brighter when she asked her question. "Today is mommy and daddy's anniversary. It's been a whole year since we got married… and now we have you."

Sanosuke still stared, cooing once again before sticking his thumb in his mouth while Sakura laughed. She was still in absolute awe that this tiny person was her very own son. She loved him with every bit of her and couldn't wait for him to have siblings.

Well… not as soon as Asuna though… I can't believe she's already pregnant again. That was the reason Sakura had been up so early that day. Her sister-in-law, Asuna, called her up at about eight, nearly an hour earlier than Sakura usually got up, to tell her she was pregnant again, almost six months after the birth of hers and Itachi's first child, Reyke.

"Ah, well. You're going love your new little cousin, won't you? Let's go wake up daddy, Sanosuke."

Hearing the word 'daddy' made Sanosuke look up at Sakura with excitement. He was still so little, but he knew so much and already could tell the difference between his mother and father. It made Sakura smile every time Sanosuke's eyes brightened with excitement when she mentioned Sasuke.

As she carried Sanosuke to their bedroom, Sakura just nodded and smiled at him while he babbled a bit. It was complete gibberish and incoherent, but she adored hearing him babble throughout the day.

Once they finally made it into the bedroom, Sakura sat on her side of the bed and just shook her head. Sasuke was still fast asleep; completely oblivious to the fact Sakura had gotten up, as well as that she had Sanosuke with her.

"Here, sweetie, let's wake up daddy!" Sakura smiled as she laid Sanosuke on Sasuke's back, giggled a bit as her husband stirred. When he barely turned his head to glare at her, she turned to full on laughing.

"Stop putting him on me in the morning, Sakura…"

"Aw, but he likes it!"

Sanosuke just blinked, before giggling slightly when he finally realized he was with Sasuke.

"Get him off and I'll hold him."

"Will do!" the second Sakura picked Sanosuke back up, he started to wail, making her wince as she handed him over to Sasuke, who was now sitting up right.

"Oi, come on now! Calm down, I'm here." Sasuke smiled softly as Sanosuke calmed down. Once he did calm down, Sanosuke started cooing and reaching up after Sasuke's hair, making him sigh and Sakura laugh again.

"He just adores your hair."

"I don't see why."

Sakura smiled as Sasuke lifted Sanosuke high enough so the little boy could grab onto his bangs, wincing every little bit when he pulled too hard.

"Happy anniversary, Sasuke."

Sasuke just glanced at her, before smirking and nodding.

"Happy anniversary, Sakura."

END CHAPTER 2

Author's Note: I picked out a random date for Sasuke and Sakura's anniversary, which ended up being two months after Sanosuke's birthday.
(I counted, and I had to change Sanosuke's birthday because my mind mixed up dates and it didn't work the first time)
