Sakura's Pov
I smiled as I placed my daughter's sleeping form on her crib, planted a soft kiss on her forehead and turned to walk out of her room to my own. It must be around midnight and today had been so active it had left me drained, we had gotten home from the hospital over a month ago and everything was going smoothly, I couldn't really complain.
So far I could tell that Hikari didn't seem to need me in the middle of the night as often like some other babies tended to need their mothers,she was a quiet sleeper even for her age and it had bothered me at first.
On our second day home I had checked on her at least three times if not more in the middle of the night, Sasuke hadn't been so preoccupied because I was just overreacting. Itachi seemed to love Hikari as much as we did, he loved carrying her and she seemed to enjoy him too, giggling away as soon as she was in his arms.
We didn't know if she was carrier for the Sharingan yet, like with Hiroshi we would have to wait till she started her ninja training. I hoped she was a carrier, I wanted my daughter to be able to protect herself when Sasuke, Itachi and I or any member of our extended family members weren't around to protect her.
But there was something sort of weird, it was like she was already aware of who was who, it was like she had been born with this amazing sense of awareness and she was only a mere month old.
Whenever Kakashi came by she would be so silent as if to listen to every word that went around in his presence, she always did this when he was around. When Naruto was here the giggles wouldn't stop and every time she saw him it was the same thing over but that was partly because he wouldn't stop trying to make funny faces at her half of the time.
When she was with Sasuke, it was the cutest thing ever, she would stare at him with her wide green eyes, he would stare back so absorbed that it was almost impossible to keep up a conversation. She always gave him that same look whenever he would hold her or when he simply walked by her.
When she was with me, she seemed to enjoy the warmth I gave her, she giggled from time to time, played with my fingers and hair but she never pulled it. She and I wasn't the only one who thought so, Tsunade, Shizune, Sasuke, Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto, Anko, Hinata, Ino, Tenten were with me on this one, was the calmest baby we have ever seen.
I for one have seen plenty of babies in my time at the hospital, I sometimes took care of women who were pregnant and then later after they had their babies and they were noisy little creatures.
Hiroshi had been close to a nightmare at first, poor Hinata had such a hard time taking care of the little monster and even now it was still hard, Naruto had almost lost what little sanity was left from all the crying, I had laughed at that one, so dramatic.
Naruto had never left Hinata's side though, if he would have I'm sure I would have pummeled him to the ground, I'm sure Hiashi or even Neji would have too. Naruto had come by today with Hiroshi and Hinata, she hadn't had the chance to see me at the hospital that first day but she had come when we had returned home. Ino had come by when I was still at the hospital with TenTen and they had both had fallen in love with Hikari.
Both of them were saying that they couldn't wait for their own babies and I could totally see Ino trying to convince Chouji of this and I couldn't help the mental smirk, poor Chouji.
Tsunade had not stopped gushing over Hikari either even though she had already known the gender, she was still delighted with the small little girl that already resembled me in her bubbly little toothless giggles.
I had made her Hikari's godmother, Itachi had been chosen to be the godfather, they had both been happy about this. Tsunade had double the title, she was also Hiroshi's godmother. Naruto and Hinata had made Neji the godfather.
Kakashi had past by with Anko on our first day back at the house, it was strange to see Anko being so soft towards someone else that wasn't Kakashi and not even he got the full power of her kindness at times.
I made my way past Itachi's room and then made it to my destination, opening and closing the door behind me I couldn't help the warm smile as I saw Sasuke laying on the bed staring at a small bear toy that belonged to Hikari, he had this gloating look in his eyes. I made my way to sit on my side of the bed, he looked up and gave me his own version of a smile, that smirk of his never got old.
"Shes sound asleep" I reassured him, she had been wide awake the whole day, giggling away with Hiroshi, It had been so cute.
He nodded "I would expect so" I shook my head, I knew he was still upset about Naruto and his theory of Hikari and Hiroshi but really who's to tell what will happen.
I can already tell that they will become very close just like their parents are, both babies have been inseparable ever since their first meeting over a month ago and even Sasuke hadn't denied completely that it was a sight that warmed the heart. I made myself comfortable at his side, snuggled under the sheets now as I waited for sleep to overcome me.

I was wide awake now, well aware of the crying that came from just a few rooms away, I felt Sakura stir at my side then, preparing to get up, I held her back looking at her confused eyes.
"Sasuke?" her sleepy voice asked as I got up, making my way to the door.
"I'll get it, you sleep" I felt her groan but didn't follow me out the door, she knew I could handle this and really what was the point of her getting up when I could do it. I made my way to my old room, opening the door silently and stepping in as I made my way to her crib, my heart felt tight as I saw her crying face, her arms reaching up as she noticed me.
I cradled my daughter in my arms then and immediately she calmed down, I checked to see if any smell was out of place but there was none, her diaper was clean. I knew there was no way she would be hungry at this time. I looked around the room for a moment, trying to see if there was anything that might have spooked her away.
This room had changed drastically, the walls were lighter, the big window let the moon shine threw without a problem giving the right amount of necessary light.
It was perfect and calm for her, I looked back down, her eyes wide as she starred at me, this was her own little special look for me, I'd notice from the very first time she had done it. I had also noticed how she looked at Sakura, Kakashi, Itachi and Naruto.
I touched her cheek with my thumb "Whats the matter kid?" I couldn't help the warm feeling that crept over my chest as she made one of her weird noises.
I couldn't help the small smile then as she grabbed my finger and began to nibble on it and as silly as I felt for talking to a baby, it was something that felt natural, like if I'd done it before she came along when in truth I hadn't.
She was only a mere month old and she already had me along with everyone else wrapped around her little fingers, she was so easy to love.
I kissed her forehead "Its ok, there's nothing wrong" she gave me one of her loopy toothless smiles, I cradled her closer to my chest then. I heard a chuckle behind me, I turned to look toward the door unsurprised to find Itachi against the door frame "Itachi."
He smirked as he made his way to us, looked down to Hikari and smiled "You shouldn't be awake" I looked down at Hikari, she giggled and reached for Itachi, I rolled my eyes as I handed her over to him.
Itachi chuckled again as he touched her nose with his thumb, I just stood there watching him and by the way he made Hikari so happy by his mere presence I was sure that Itachi would make an amazing father himself when he found his someone.
I heard Hikari yawn then, I looked at her face, her little eyes closing and opening in a loopy way. Itachi handed her to me then, he kissed her forehead before he made his way to the door, then he stopped turning to look back at me.
His smirk was visible "I'm proud of you." I shook my head, my own smirk in place "Goodnight" his smirk widened as he turned to walk out, I looked down at my daughter then.
I kissed her forehead again "Sleep now" I whispered to her, she yawned again and snuggled her head on my chest, my heart felt warm again.
I waited a few minutes before looking down at her face to make sure she was sleeping, her expression was now peaceful as I saw her small little chest rise and fall in even breaths, I carefully placed her on her crib then. I starred at her for a few seconds before turning back and making my way out of her room closing the door silently behind me, I made my way to my room then.
Once I made it to my room, I closed the door behind me silently as I got on the bed, Sakura was fast asleep, I got in slowly trying to not wake her. Once settled my mind lingered on my daughter and the woman sleeping beside me, the woman I would be marrying soon, the woman I loved, I couldn't help the small smile that crossed my lips as sleep overwhelmed me.

I felt nervous and excited as I looked myself over in the mirror, my white wedding dress was gorgeous, nothing too fancy but still elegant. Today after five months of preparations I would finally become an official Uchiha.
We were getting married in the Uchiha backyard, It was past four o'clock in the afternoon and I knew that the backyard was already filled with guests. I could hear the soft laughter of our guests coming from outside as some they mingled with one another before my entrance. I was in my room with the girls getting ready, I knew Hikari and Hiroshi were outside somewhere already, she in her white dress and Hiroshi in his black little tux.
Last time I'd seen my daughter had been over an hour ago, Itachi had taken her and Hiroshi away to let us get ready without any unnecessary interruptions. I looked back at Ino, Hinata and Tenten, the three were my bridesmaids. They were wearing light purple knee length dresses, they were giving me encouraging smiles and I couldn't help a smile of my own.
"Little Sakura is growing up" Ino said, pretending to cry, I couldn't help to laugh, she would never change. Hinata and Tenten joined in then.
"You look so beautiful Sakura" I looked at the door, my laughter dying down, Naruto was standing there with his black tuxedo with a huge grin on his face, I gave him my own. He came to my side then, passing Hinata a meaningful glance.
I hugged him carefully "Thank you Naruto, thank you for everything you've ever done for me" I meant that, I didn't think I'd thanked him enough for everything he'd ever done.
He laughed "Not a problem, you know me, I would do anything to protect those whom I love" He looked at Hinata again, gave her a warm smile, I saw her blush then. He took another long look at me "Teme is gonna die when he sees you" I laughed, so crazy. I heard the door open again, I turned to look and my dad was there, a smile on his face.
"Its almost time" he said checking his watch "You got three more minutes." I nodded then, taking a deep breath.
"I better go then" Naruto kissed my cheek, kissed Hinata's lips and left out the door. I made my way to my father's side and smiled, in a few minutes I would become Uchiha Sakura, I gotta say I was loving the sound of that.

Sasuke's Pov
I waited impatiently as Naruto jogged down the isle, the grin apparent on his face, I had to roll my eyes as he took his place beside me. Itachi was standing in back of him with Kakashi, the three were my groomsmen.
I looked around at the people who were now sitting down, Tsunade was in the front row sitting next Anko who was on her right and Sakura's mother who was on her left, she was holding Hikari and Hiroshi. My daughter's excited eyes followed the commotion around her, she looked almost funny with her wide green eyes starring around her, so aware.
Neji was sitting behind them next to Hiashi, Hanabi and that Konohamaru kid. Kurenai, Chouji, Gai, Lee and Shikamaru continued the line with other Shinobi from the village that I recognized. There were some village people here, some I didn't know but whom Sakura did.
I heard the music play then and I instantly turned my attention down the isle again. I saw Hinata then make her way out slowly with Ino tailing behind her, Tenten followed. I caught my breath then as I saw Sakura enter in the arm of her father, she looked beautiful but then again she always did. She looked like she had never given birth, her body was as smooth as ever.
I caught her eyes then, she smiled and I couldn't help my own smile as she finally reached my side. I looked at her father, nodding firmly as he took his seat in the front with his wife and my daughter. I felt like I wasn't really here as the priest began his speech, I just couldn't concentrate on him when Sakura's hand laid on mine, it would only be a matter of minutes before she would officially become mine forever, I suddenly felt smug.
I would have never guessed in a million years that today I would be marrying Sakura Haruno, I owed her so much, everything good in my life was thanks to her and her kindness. I didn't hesitate on my answer when the priest asked me the question I'd been waiting to hear "Yes." I could see Hikari from the corner of my eyes, she was gazing at us ,her eyes wide open still.
When it was Sakura's turn to speak ,her voice almost broke ,I noticed the tears that threatened to spill "Yes" I couldn't help the smirk as the priest announced us husband and wife.
"You may kiss your bride" He didn't need to tell me twice, without hesitation I pulled her veil back, cradled her cheeks in my hands and kissed her full on the lips, forgetting about our audience and their cheering, forgetting that Naruto, Kakashi and Itachi were wolf whistling behind me, I would deal with them later.
I felt complete with her by my side and all I could think about was Sakura, when we pulled away I noticed the tears were running down her beautiful face, I felt my own eyes sting as I kissed her on the lips again and for the first time in a really long time I let my emotions consume me.

Sakura's Pov
Thirteen years have now passed since Hikari was born, we had just celebrated her thirteen birthday less than a month ago, it had been a small event with her loved ones, she had preferred it that way. I yawned as I snuggled closer to Sasuke, he had his arm wrapped around me, we were both sitting in the living room with Itachi, Kakashi and Naruto. Itachi sat on my left, Kakashi on his left side while Naruto occupied his usual place on the one person seat.
Life hadn't really changed all that much, we just had more responsibilities. Missions still came, Team 7 still did them together, Itachi would baby sit Hikari and Hiroshi when he was free of his own missions.
When Itachi wasn't able to do the job, the kids would stay at the Hyuuga compound with Hiashi if Hinata was busy with her own missions. Hiashi had become a grandfather for the second time, Hanabi and Konohamaru had married two years ago and they hadn't taken long in adding a new addition to the Hyuuga family. A beautiful baby girl that was now a year old.
Hikari and Hiroshi had become the best of friends as I had predicted it would happen, much to Sasuke's dismay they spent every waking moment with each other. Hikari had indeed inherited the Sharingan and at the tender age of seven, that little girl was as sharp as Sasuke and Itachi or both combined but she resembled me in her spunky, outgoing attitude.
Hiroshi hadn't inherited the Byakugan but Naruto was set on teaching him the Rasengan since amazingly enough not only did Hiroshi get his looks and personality from him but his wind nature type chakra too. Hiroshi hadn't been disappointed, he had found motivation in the minor set back.
Kakashi and Anko had married a year ago finally, Anko was now pregnant with their first child, it was cute to see Kakashi being an overprotective husband, as overprotective as Anko let him be, she didn't take his crap lightly, she was a strong woman.
We were currently waiting for Hikari and Hiroshi to get home, they had both been off to a training section with their teammates and knowing them I knew they would get sidetracked when they would finish, I didn't worry, I knew they could take care of themselves.
It had been a slow day for us, Sasuke and Itachi had gotten some training done while Naruto joined in as soon as he arrived over an hour or two later after dropping off Hinata at Hanabi and Konomaru's house for a visit. I had just watched, Konoha was still as bad as ever during summer time.
"Seriously, I really do think I'm gonna die of a heatstroke" complained Naruto, I rolled my eyes as I looked away from the TV, still as dramatic as ever.
I saw Sasuke roll his eyes "Don't you start with that again" I heard Itachi chuckled then, I couldn't help my own smile. Itachi hadn't found anyone to share his life with, I knew that once upon a time it had been a different story till he committed the mistake that caused him to leave his home and brother behind.
Itachi had told me about his old girlfriend one night while we had one of our midnight talks while I was still pregnant with Hikari, she had been very courageous, very generous and very fit for him.
He swore he would never find someone else like her again and to this day he hadn't but he wasn't sad, Itachi didn't need company of the sort and of that he had assured me,he felt whole with Sasuke, Hikari, and I along with Naruto and Kakashi.
Naruto snorted "Shut up teme" I couldn't help to giggle, they hadn't changed one bit. I heard the door open and close noisily and I knew immediately that Hikari and Hiroshi were home, I turned expectantly toward the entrance of the living room, I noticed Itachi, Sasuke were too and I was sure Naruto had noticed their arrival too.
When they appeared I couldn't help but notice the changes that time brought, it seemed like only yesterday that they had both been just babies. Hikari with her bright wide green eyes turn to smile at us as she made her way to kiss Itachi, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi and I on the cheek, Hiroshi did the same before they both turned to stand in front of us.
Hikari's raven hair was longer now, down to her waist, she stood proud and tall. Hiroshi had his blond hair up in pikes just like Naruto, he was taller than Hikari by an inch.
"Mother, Father, Uncles" I heard my daughter speak in greeting to us, she was always so formal, just like Sasuke but looking at her now, she looked bothered, almost worried.
"Whats on your mind kid?" Sasuke asked as he straighten up, I did too. She took a deep breath, she looked at Hiroshi and he gave her a small nod while he grabbed her hand, I raised my eyebrow.
"For a long time now I've been in love with Hiroshi" She began in a confident voice.
Hiroshi took in a deep breath before he cut in "I'm in love with Hikari" I could feel my mouth drop open.
"Pay up" I heard Itachi snicker to Kakashi next to me, I didn't look though I felt the urge to do so, they needed to cut it out with the bets, seriously. They had both even gotten together to bet as to when would Hikari get her Sharingan, Itachi had also won that one, Kakashi had a knack for loosing.
It was silent then, I never took my eyes away from them, I could feel Sasuke at my side tense up. I knew he would have a hard time to let go, Hikari was his little girl. I wasn't angry for one, I knew this would happen, I was just surprised.

Sasuke's Pov
I was having a hard time comprehending the fact that my daughter was no longer that little baby, she was growing up and I didn't like it one bit but I knew there was nothing I could do.
At her age I'd done worse things, at her age it was not impossible to feel such love but part of me, the part that wanted to murder anyone who would dare touch my daughter wasn't ready to be rational but I wouldn't make any sudden judgments, I had no right to.
Hikari had grown up to be this independent young girl, smart and strong. I knew she didn't need good old dad to protect her constantly. I took a deep silent breath then, I looked into her eyes then, they were wide and full of determination. I didn't understand why Sakura said she was so much like me, she got her strength and independence from her.
I knew she was right though, Hikari was a stubborn girl, very smug like I'd once been at that age but our motivations were different, I had been full of hate,I used all of my power for bad while she in turn only radiated love, never meant any harm.
I looked at Sakura, her mouth was hanging open, surprised beyond comprehension no doubt but I was sure she wasn't angry, she didn't need to be. I looked at Naruto then, he had a smug smile across his lips, I felt the need to throw something at him. I was still angry that he had predicted this outcome like if he was some sort of guru.
I turned to Itachi and Kakashi, they were both just staring at Hikari and Hiroshi, Itachi with a small smile on his lips and Kakashi with a grin that was clearly visible even under his mask. I turned to my daughter then, I knew she was waiting for our approval.
"Father?" her voice broke a bit but she still looked determined, I took a deep breath. She had guts I tell ya, standing up for something when she had no idea how we would react, maybe she wasn't as afraid as her eyes told me she was, she knew we loved her.
"Hiroshi" I spoke in a firm manner, glad that I could scare him a bit. He immediately went rigid though he hadn't let go of Hikari's hand.
"Yes sir?" He spoke firm despite how tense he seemed to be, I was glad Hikari had chosen someone who could be strong enough for her.
I activated my Sharingan then, noticing how Kakashi and Itachi seemed to be chuckling at my expense "You ever hurt my daughter and I assure you that you will never get a chance to do so again."
I felt smug, he looked so scared but he still spoke firm "I would never hurt her Sasuke, I love her. I promise you I will always protect her and I never go back on my word" I felt the urge to roll my eyes, so much like the Dobe.
I heard Naruto laugh then as he yelled "Outta boy!" to Hiroshi while the said boy grinned at his father and I really felt the need to throw something his way. Maybe Sakura wouldn't mind if I used the lamp that stood tall next to the couch but maybe she would since it had been a present from my mother in law.
I turned to Hikari then, my Sharingan disappearing, she was starring at me with her wide green eyes "You better give him an ass whopping if he gets out of hand" she grinned at me then, I couldn't help to smile back. I saw her turn to Sakura who hadn't spoken once, I did too waiting for her response though I could guess what she would say already.

Hikari's Pov
I wasn't as afraid as I looked I was sure, my father had raised no fool and I was no coward but this was still nerve wrecking. I hadn't enjoyed the silence. I had taken in every face in the room after my confession and Hiroshi's and really I had been more worried about my father than anything, I knew how overprotective he was.
I was young and in love that much was clear but I didn't care about how old we were, we were in love. I had loved Hiroshi for as long as I can remember. Our relationship had been a really funny one to see, the best of friends but we were also rivals sometimes, always pushing each other. Hinata and mother always said that we looked like our fathers back when they were young. I had to chuckle at that, there were a few differences between them and us.
We for one didn't let the competition get out of hand in the way my father and Naruto had let theirs. I knew all about father's dark past, uncle Naruto's, uncle Itachi's and our clan. I had been disturbed to no end to know that once upon a time before I had been born there had been a huge lack of respect and love in the place I called home. I didn't want that disaster to ever happen again.
I knew how much my mother had suffered too, she had told me despite of herself, I had asked to her to spare me the "I'm too young to listen to this" because in truth I was way too mature for my age. Father had been angry but he too told me all about it from his perspective.
I had been sad to hear how much pain my father had gone threw but I didn't hold it again uncle Itachi, I loved uncle Itachi and I understood his motives, our clan had been filled with arrogant power seeking idiots.
I had been a bit angry with my father though, the fact that he had thought that leaving his home behind would be the best course of action to gain strength was just so maddening but I did understand his mind set but it still hadn't been right and I was just glad he knew that.
I had been even more sad for uncle Itachi's pain, all his sacrifice and it had almost gone to waste when father had almost died. I was glad to know that my mother never once gave up on father, that Naruto had saved him countless times.
I had been a bit uncomfortable to find out that uncle Naruto had liked my mother, talk about awkward. It felt weird to even picture it seeing how happy and in love he seemed with Hinata. I wasn't ashamed of our past, father and uncle had promised me that no such thing would occur ever again, that the Uchiha clan was looking at a new bright future.
That's when I'd blushed knowing full well what my name meant and what it meant to them, I was a new light and the hope for the future of a clan that had been destroyed long ago, I felt smug.
I heard uncle Kakashi and Itachi snicker, I almost had the urge to shake my head but I was frozen in place waiting for my father and mother. No doubt they had bet on this outcome at some point. I had noticed that Kakashi and uncle loved their bets and I had also found out about the bet they along with mother, father and Naruto had made before my birth.
I had laughed when they had told me, surprising mother no doubt since she had been so embarrassed by the mere fact they had done something so foolish. I hadn't been angry in the very least, I loved hearing stories from their past before me no matter how bad and dark of a story it was, I loved hearing stories of me when I was a mere baby.
I had enjoyed the look on Hiroshi's face when they had told him he had been a nightmare while I in turn had been such a delight. He had sulked the whole day. Of course I knew him like no one else seemed to and I knew he would get over it soon enough and he had when Hinata had announced that his ramen was ready. I didn't need the stories to know that this was another habit he had inherited from uncle Naruto.
I was paying attention to mother now, waiting for the news to sink in, I knew she wasn't mad but it still made me nervous.
End of Hikari's Pov
Hiroshi's Pov
I had to admit that I was a bit freaked out by Sasuke, he was an intimidating man but I could understand his over protectiveness because I loved Hikari just as much as he did maybe even more, I was sure.
But just because I was scared shitless by this man didn't mean that I was going to act like a coward, I wouldn't leave Hikari, it had taken me sometime to recognize my feelings for this girl and I wouldn't let this get in the way.
My father didn't raise me like that, he had taught me to fight for what I wanted, for those whom I loved, to never give up. I was apparently as dense as my father had been, he hadn't noticed my mother and her love for him for a while, I had heard all the stories just like Hikari had.
I admired my father greatly, his strength and courageous acts had left a long lasting effect on me, I admired my mother as well, she had made her own types of sacrifices and her devotion, her quest on becoming strong had been inspiring.
I had heard all the stories, how my father struggled with his loneliness and how Team 7 had helped him overcome it, how Sasuke had struggled with his own, how Kakashi had lost so many of those whom he cared about, the story behind his own Sharingan.
I had also heard about how Sakura had struggled for years to become strong and independent, how my mother struggled with acceptance from my grandfather and everyone else. I took all of their stories, grabbing them on as a motivation to become strong, I never wanted to whiteness something so sad among my family, life had truly been different back then.
I cleared my head then, waiting for Sakura to snap out of her trance, I squeezed Hikari's hand but she didn't look away from her mother.
End of Hiroshi's Pov
Itachi's Pov
Aside from the point the happiness I felt from the fact that my niece was happy and in love, I couldn't help the smug feeling I had, I had won another bet against Kakashi and I couldn't wait to rub it in his face a little later on.
He should know better than to bet against me, I mean come on the man has only won maybe twice, I chuckled. Maybe I would win the one we still had pending, I hoped Sakura would give us another small miracle within the next two years.
That was beside the point though, I felt proud of my brother, Sasuke had taken the news well beside the threat he had promise to carry out if Hiroshi was to hurt Hikari, not saying I wouldn't help but it was still funny.
I almost felt sorry for these kids, they had come into the craziest family, Naruto the hyper active crazed ramen lover uncle and father, Sasuke the overprotective father with killer instincts and then there was me, though I was apparently as Sakura called me the sanest of us I knew I was as bad as Sasuke.
I didn't feel the need to search for someone to spend my life with, I was happy with my family and I mean if it came I would welcome it but I wasn't looking. I had enough entertainment to last me a life time and I had been in love once, I had gotten a taste of that happiness but it wasn't something that I yearned to hold.
I was amazed at how mature Hikari was, she hadn't once judged me on my mistakes, she had in turn asked if she could hear more about my struggles and my time with the Akatsuki, Sasuke hadn't liked that but he hadn't intervened nor had Sakura. I was excited for the future now more than ever. I turned to look at my sister, she had yet to say something about this outcome.
End of Itachi's Pov
Kakashi's Pov
I was starting to doubt my abilities to win a bet, against Itachi anyway, he was cheating somehow, lucky bastard and his instincts but I was happy with the fact that Hikari was happy and that's what really mattered.
I was glad that I had gotten the chance to take care of her and Hiroshi when they had been mere babies because now I was sure that I wouldn't do such a horrible job when Anko gave birth, I was a bit nervous.
Sasuke had handled himself well which is more than I can say for Naruto, he just couldn't contain his happiness sometimes, he never changed.
I was proud of my niece for how brave she was, how strong, I was proud of my nephew for sticking up for what believes too. They were perfect for each other that much was true. I couldn't wait to see what more these kids would surprise us with. I turned to stare at Sakura then, waiting for her reaction.
End of Kakashi's Pov
Naruto's Pov
I was proud of my son now more than ever, he was standing up for the love he and Hikari felt and I had to say that it took guts specially when he was up against Sasuke. I was excited that I had predicted something that my best friend hadn't, I would never let him live this down, I was sure. I couldn't wait till Hinata found out, she will surely be surprised. Hiroshi was so much like me it was as if he was my own little personal clone, I had to chuckle at that. He even loved ramen as much as I did.
"Great another hyper active loud mouth" I heard Kyuubi groan, I mentally laughed at the fox as he began his usual rant. I always tried to tune out Kyuubi, I never listened unless we were in battle, I had learned to control his powers better, learned to coexist with him but he still got on my nerves.
I had made it my mission to train Hiroshi, teach him the Rasengan, he would at least have that to protect himself in battle. He wasn't as useless as I had been with my chakra in the beginning, I'd say he got his patience from Hinata and my motivation.
Hiroshi was a smart kid but well lets just say that my genes got in the way sometimes, thank god he had Hikari by his side to get his focus back. I couldn't think of anyone else that would be perfect for my son, Hikari was a smart, strong, independent girl and that was no surprise considering who her parents were.
I chuckled then, it was ironic. Sasuke, Sakura and I had always considered ourselves family but now we would be officially, the in laws, that was really funny.
I knew Sasuke would be sulking about this for a while but I was glad he didn't let it get in the way of his daughters happiness, he was going soft and I would make sure to tease him later about this. I looked at Sakura,expectant to hear her answer.
End of Naruto's Pov
Sakura's Pov
I felt happy to know that Sasuke hadn't overreacted to this as much as I'd thought he would have, I was however still managing with my thoughts.
"Mother" I looked into her eyes then, they looked unafraid.
I smiled shaking my head "Forgive me, I was just surprised" I chuckled at her, she gave me a hesitant smile back. I took a deep breath, I knew I couldn't tell her she was making a mistake, that she couldn't fall in love with someone at a young age, that would make me a huge hypocrite considering I'd fallen in love with her father at the tender age of twelve.
She knew this of course, we had told her everything about our past and the Uchiha clan to Sasuke's dismay but Itachi and I had felt it necessary, to create a clan with no secrets that was our goal.
My smile grew "I'm very happy for the both of you" I looked at Hiroshi's now calm face, he smiled. I turned to Hikari then, her expression free of stress.
She bowed her head at us "Thank you mother, father, uncles" Hiroshi had bowed as well.
I couldn't help to chuckle, I was happy for my daughter, I was glad that she had found someone to love and the best part of all was that he loved her back. I was excited to see how our future would unfold, the future of the Uchiha clan would live on, our family was stronger than ever.
The end
Well there ya have it, the bonus chapter that was promised and I hope you all enjoyed it, I sure did enjoy myself writing this and I had to remind myself a few times that I needed to end this one way or the other, I didn't want to stop.
but anyways reviews are appreciated, I want to know what you guys thought of this extra chapter and I suggest you all get around to reading my other stories. I will be writing more about Bleach soon and other couples from Naruto so watch out for that.
