Prompt: Babysitting
Summary: Who knew that babysitting would be the thing to finally spur Sasuke to act upon his feelings?

"Thanks so much Sakura! Naruto and I really need this night out." The blue-haired girl says with a hug, but before heading out the door, stops to give last minute instructions. "He's already eaten, he just needs to be put down." She pauses as if considering something, "Maybe I should do that real quick."
"It's no problem Hinata, I can do it." Sakura replies, smiling at the worried mother.
"But, he's never been put to bed by anybody else before."
"Hinata, it's fine, Sakura is an expert with children." An anxious Naruto comes up and gently nudges his wife out the door. He shoots Sakura a quick wink before urging the frazzled Byakugan wielder down the path.
"Have fun!" Sakura shouts before closing the front door.
The designated babysitter moves through the two-story house to the kitchen. Upon entering, she finds curious pearl eyes watching her from the highchair across the room.
"Hi sweetie." Sakura greets the child before picking him up and ruffling his spikey blonde hair. "How are you this evening?" The baby just continues to stare at her with wide eyes.
"Do you remember me? I'm Auntie Sakura!" The baby grabs one of the kunoichi's long pink locks and begins gently tugging on it. "Did you know that I was on your father's genin team?"
Sakura tickles the baby's tiny limbs and continues to chatter away, knowing that her words are falling upon oblivious ears. She's in the middle of telling her godchild about their first C-ranked mission when she's interrupted by a knock. Shifting the baby to her hip, she makes her way to answer the door.
"Sasuke? What are you doing here?" Sakura asks when she's met with onyx eyes.
"I just got back and wanted to see you." He responds before moving past her and stepping into the house.
"Want to help me put Minato to bed?" Sasuke answers with a curt nod.
Slowly they ascend the steps in order to get to the nursery. When the baby begins to cry she gently rocks him while muttering gently. Almost instantly, the child stops fussing and begins quietly cooing instead.
"Come now Mina, it's bedtime." Sakura begins humming as she paces the nursery in an attempt to lull the child to sleep.
Sasuke is about to comment on the nickname, but settles for watching the pinkette instead. She moves gracefully and deliberately, a small smile on her lips. Sasuke mind wanders to what it would be like if the child had black spikey hair instead.
Silently, he continues to observe as Sakura gently sets the, now sleeping, baby into the crib as she finishes her soothing tune.
Before she moves away, Sasuke comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist burying his face in her neck.
"Sasuke?" She inquires quietly so as not to wake up the snoozing child.
"You'd make a wonderful mother." He responds before placing a light kiss on her smooth flesh.
To say she was shocked was an understatement. Sakura and Sasuke had grown close since he had returned. After she had gotten over hating him, they had shared many heartfelt conversations, even a few unexpected kisses. However, this act of him embracing her from behind while hovering over a crib seemed so intimate and, dare she think it, right.
"When do they get back?" He whispers.
"Tomorrow morning, Naruto rented a suite for their anniversary." Sakura pauses before adding, "Do you want to stay here with me?"
Before she realizes what's happening, she finds herself pushed up against the wall in the hallway, Sasuke attacking her mouth. She melts under his intensity; her hands moving up to knot themselves in his hair. His tongue roves over her lips, memorizing every crease in the smooth flesh. Hesitantly, she breaks away from his mouth, panting heavily.
"We'll wake, pant, the baby." Moving his hands down her butt to her upper thighs, he lifts her up and secures her legs around his hips. Carefully, he carries her down the stairs and to the living room, before laying her down on the couch.
Slowly he settles his weight on her before capturing her mouth again. Sakura moans as his hands roam her body, her legs still locked around his hips. This time Sasuke breaks the kiss. He stares down into her emerald eyes, mesmerized by the emotion in them.
"Marry me." He states it like a command. "Become my wife. Share a bed with me. Raise a family with me. Be the woman that I can't wait to come home to every night."
Not trusting her voice to stay strong, Sakura only gets to slightly nod her head before Sasuke captures her lips again.
As Sasuke continues to kiss her, she can't help but imagine green-eyed children running around with the Uchiha symbol proudly displayed on their backs.
A/N: Really Sasuke? Proposing while babysitting? Well, I guess he isn't the most romantic guy ;)
Okay, so I wrote a passage for day 5's prompt, "flood", but honestly, it was really bad. So bad, that I gagged a little bit when I re-read it. Once I get a chance to re-write it, I will post it on here :)
