A.N. Okay, I said the chapters were gonna be up in quick succession. This one is set seven years in the future from the last one.

Help Wanted

Sakura staggered inside after a long day of training with the Hokage, Tsunade. She slumped on the couch and reached for the soda she had started drinking before she left. It was flat, and upon taking a sip she promptly spat it out.

"Sakura! You're home!" came a shout. Hinata walked to the couch and plopped down next to her lover. "How was Tsunade?"

"Ugh, if I never see her again I'll be happy," Sakura began. "Although, I did learn an interesting technique for manipulating individual cells. I could use it to make it possible for us to have a child."

Hinata threw her arms around Sakura. "Oh, this is great! When can we get started?"

Sakura stood. "Well, I'm really running low on chakra, but I can rest overnight and we can do it tomorrow."

Hinata squeezed Sakura tightly, then got up. She headed to the kitchen, humming to herself.

After dinner (ironically, ramen), the couple went upstairs to bed. Hinata agreed to shower first, and by the time she got out, Sakura was asleep, spread eagle on the bed, fully clothed and snoring. Hinata giggled, pulled her self into bed, and elbowed Sakura over to get room. The pink-haired girl rolled over, fell off the edge of the bed, and woke up.

"What the hell?!" She said, getting up. "Oh. Guess I fell asleep. Um… I'll be in the shower…" She left the room. Hinata didn't hear the shower turn on, and Sakura didn't return to bed.

When Sakura awoke, there was sunlight streaming through the curtains in the bedroom. She couldn't remember returning to her room, so she supposed Hinata had carried her back. She stretched, yawning, and got dressed.

A smell of pancakes greeted her as she went downstairs. Hinata stepped out of the doorway to the kitchen.

"Oh, good," she said. "You're up." She pushed a plate of pancakes and sausages into Sakura's hands.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked slowly. "You're never awake before me, and usually you let me cook my own food."

"You need your strength for today, remember?" Hinata said.

"Yes I remember, but we have all day, and I have plenty of chakra." Sakura ate her breakfast, Hinata hovering, rather annoyingly. When Sakura finished, Hinata whisked away her plate.

"C'mon, let's get started," she said, tugging Sakura back upstairs. Sakura had never seen her lover this excited about something, unless you counted that time Ino joined them in a three-way.

Hinata pushed open the bedroom door, stripped herself of clothing, and motioned for Sakura to do the same.

"We have to decide which of us is going to carry the baby," Sakura said.

"I will," Hinata said instantly. "I never told you this, but I've always wanted a daughter, and when we got together my first worry was that we wouldn't be able to have one together."

Sakura motioned for Hinata to lay down on the bed. She slid two fingers deep into Hinata's crotch. She flipped through several hand signs with her free hand, and chakra ran down her fingers. She withdrew her hand and a single speck glowed with energy, hovering over her pointer finger.

"What is that, Sakura?" Hinata asked.

"A single egg cell," she replied. She slid the fingers of her free hand into herself and drew out a similar speck. The two cells hovered newt to each other, and Sakura flipped through a few more hand signs. The speck from Sakura vanished, and the one from Hinata grew larger.

"What did you do?" Hinata asked.

"I pulled the DNA out of my egg, and used it to fertilize yours," was the response. She put her finger under the egg cell, and slid it back into Hinata. She repeated the hand signs she had used the first time, though in reverse order. She pulled her fingers out and licked them clean.

"All done," she said, pulling on her clothes. Hinata did the same, then pulled Sakura into a hug.

"Thank you Sakura," she said. "You have no idea what this means to me."

A.N. OK, short I know, but I think I did a good job with my idea for them to have a child.
