Age Two

"Come on Taro! Smile for me!" Sakura exclaimed as she took pictures of her son and daughter. "Come on, be like your sister, one smile for mommy." Sakura pleaded. Taro just pushed the camera away from his face and the pulled a strand of his mother's pink hair.

"Mommy!! Up!!" Amarante cried as she hitched onto Sakura's leg. Sakura picked up her daughter who screamed in happiness as Sakura lifted her up over her head and turned around. Taro started smiling and immediately he stood up wanted to be lifted as well.

"MOMMY!!! ME TOO!!! Pwease!" He cried as Sakura smiled. She put down Amarante and then lifted Taro.

"Sakura, dinner is done, come one." Her mother spoke as she walked up to Amarante and picked her up.

"Grams!!!! I want Ramen!!" Amarante screamed like Naruto.

"She like Naruto, she die if eat too much Ramen." Taro tried to reason as he pulled on a strand of his mother's hair. "Naruto!!! I want see him. He give candy and Amarante eat all. Amarante no share. She my sister. I love her. I love her like you. You love me Mommy?"

"Of course I do, My, you two hang around at Naruto's too much. Come on, sit down. And do not make a mess. Mom, thanks for making dinner."

"Don't worry. I'm your mother. This is what I am supposed to do." Sakura's mother spoke as she smoothed her daughter's long hair.

"Mom, I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you so much." Sakura said as her mother nodded.

"You never thank a mother. You just love her as she loves you."

"Mommy!!!! Taro my tomato!!!"

"Taro…"

"She ate tomato yesterday. I take today."

"MY TOMATO!!!" Amarante screamed shrilly. "I WANT TOMATO!!! MOMMY!!!!" She started to cry.

"I want tomato!!!"

"MY TOMATO!"

"AMARANTE!!! QUIET!! TARO IF YOU WANT A TOMATO THEN TELL ME, I'LL GIVE YOU ONE." Sakura yelled over the crying of her children.

"Sakura there are no more." Sakura's mother informed.

"Okay, some separate time is needed. Amarante, you are going to come with me. Taro you stay with grams.

Sakura picked her daughter up and then grabbed her bag. "I swear Amarante, why the hell do you and Taro love tomatoes so much?" Walking out if the door, she turned into the busy street full of busy people.

"Sowwy mommy." Amarante pouted her lips.

"That does not work with me young lady." Sakura said as she smiled. "If you want something then just tell mommy, don't shout. Mommy gets enough of that when Naruto-kun and Sai-kun fight. She doesn't need it at home too."

"Taro and I be nice. Promise."

"Promise?"

"Pinky promise."

Sakura laughed a small laugh that made Amarante hug her. "Let's get your brother many tomatoes, how about that?" Sakura said as she started to pick out the tomatoes from a stand.

"Sakura! How are you?" someone said. Sakura looked over to her right to see Karin smiling as if she were better than Sakura.

"Uchiha-chan, I am fine, how are you?"

"Karin, come on hurry up." Someone said as they walked out of the small store. He looked at Sakura who also smiled back as nicely as she could. "Sakura…, Amarante, what are you doing here?"

"We here to buy tomato for Taro. He want tomato so I buy for him. I love my brother."

"You should teach your brat to talk less." Karin spoke as she picked out some other veggies.

"My child can speak all she wants to. It is better than being stoic all day."

"When I grow, I want be like mommy…she strong. She strong when dad die, she strong when she heal Taro owie. She strong. Mommy is great."

"When did their father die Sakura?" Karin smugly asked. She knew who the father of the children.

"Karin, stop it."

"No it is okay Uchiha-dono, the father of Taro and Amarante died when he betrayed everything his family name stood for. Now I must get going. Have a good day Uchiha-dono, Uchiha-chan." Sakura said as she paid the vendor .

"Tomatoes!!!" Taro cried as he lunged for the bag.

"Taro, sit down. I will give them to you." Sakura laughed as Taro stuffed his face full of the tomato. "Kami-sama."

Sakura looked at her children, they had gotten their food in all over their body. "Sakura," Her mother spoke. "I'll give the princess her bath in my room, you get Taro cleaned up in yours." She suggested.

"Alright mom, and then bring her over to my room. I'll let them sleep with me today since I won't see them for a while. Tsunade-sama is sending me, Kakashi, and Sai on a mission and I may not see them for a while. You'll be okay right?"

"Sakura, I'll be fine. They are my grandchildren. Of course I will care for them. I love them. Now hurry, Taro is falling asleep here." Sakura smiled and then took her son into the bathroom. Stripping him down, she placed him in the bathtub. Quickly giving him a bath, she smiled. My son. Make me proud one day. She noticed that he had fallen asleep. So she took him to her room and laid him down.

"My son."

Soon Amarante was placed next to her brother. "My daughter."

That night, Sakura felt as if her life was complete as she slept next to her avengers.

The next morning, as she ran alongside her sensei and friend, she thought of her two angels sleeping in her room. Life is perfect.
