Baby-sitting
"We're so grateful for this Sakura-san!" Hinata said for the umpteenth time, heading for the door while trying to keep her eyes on her son, currently held in Sakura's arms.

Sakura glanced down at Minato as Naruto's earlier words rang in her mind, but his lip wobbled innocently and she was won over once again. She turned back in time to see Sasuke stalking out of the bathroom, only just catching his grumble of "We are never baby-sitting again!"
