Well, it has been a while! Sorry for the wait but you should know by now that it kind of takes me a while to find motivation and to update. I know it's terrible but at least I finally came around to update, right!? But anyways, tell me if you like it, if you don't, I encourage all types of reviews.

When summer rolled in each year, despite how everyone's current situation was, the Konoha 11 all lived under one roof for three months. The house was originally owned by Tsunade but she had allowed everyone to stay there when they wanted to, and it was a tradition for everyone to stay there during the summer. The house had seven rooms, five baths, a living room, kitchen, dining room, a finished basement, and a pool with a huge backyard; It was the perfect summer home.
The house was buzzing with noise as everyone began to move their things in. This year was a little different though, there was a new member being introduced into the house and she was approximately three years old. Sakura carried both of hers and Ayaka's things up to their room. As they made their way through the house, Sakura smiled and chatted with some people as her mini-me followed close behind her. The two of them found their way upstairs to the master bedroom that was declared for their small family of three.
"Momma, where is Daddy?" Ayaka asked her mother as she sat down on the big bed.
"He's on his way sweetheart, he had to go food shopping for the house first; He should be here soon." Sakura said as she began to unpack their bags.
"Momma?"
"Yes Ayaka?" Sakura said looking up.
"Can I go wait for Daddy downstairs?" Ayaka asked while she looked down at her hands, avoiding her mother's eyes.
"Sure sweetie, go ahead." Sakura said as she grabbed one of her t-shirts tightly. She flashed her daughter a smile, letting her know that it was okay to leave and Ayaka excitedly jumped down from her spot, running down the stairs.
Sakura was some-what upset at the fact that her daughter still longed for father, even after he left them. Sakura couldn't understand why her daughter loved her father so much, even more than her at times, when Sakura was always there for her. Naruto, on the other hand, had missed two years of their daughter's life; Sakura just did not understand why he held so much importance in that little girl's heart.
Sakura heard the sudden noise of glass shattering from downstairs and a loud cry right after.
"MOMMA!"
Sakura ran out of the room after hearing the loud scream coming from her child. She sprinted down the stairs to find Ayaka sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by red sauce, which she assumed was tomato sauce, and shattered glass everywhere. Naruto was trying to pick up their child but Ayaka was not letting him do so. Naruto looked up at Sakura with pleading eyes, begging her to help him calm down the small child.
Sakura made her way over to Ayaka and picked her up into her arms, "Calm down baby, Momma is here now." She said softly, trying to sooth the child.
Sakura placed Ayaka on the kitchen counter and began to pull some of the small broken glass pieces out of her hair as others entered the kitchen to see what was going on.
"What has made this once youthful child fill with sadness now?" Lee yelled as he stared at Ayaka intensely.
"She is alright Lee, no need to worry, she's just a little overwhelmed." Sakura said softly, flashing him a reassuring before focusing her attention back on Ayaka.
"Jeesh! She almost gave me a heart-attack!" Ino exclaimed as she held a hand over her chest, breathing heavily, "I thought she had broke a bone or something."
"So did I," Sakura said with a small laugh, "But she didn't. All she needs is a bath and she should be okay." Sakura ran her hand through Ayaka's thick, orange locks. Ayaka was slowly calming down now but her face was still flustered and her tears left streaks down her face.
"I'll take her," Naruto spoke up, moving to go pick up his daughter but she refused to let him grab a hold of her, only clutching onto her mother tighter.
"I want Momma." She stated as she hid her face into Sakura's shirt.
Naruto was a bit shocked from this statement but did not argue with the child. He slowly nodded and took a few steps back giving them some space.
"Don't worry, I got her," Sakura said as she lifted Ayaka off of the kitchen counter. As she carried her daughter up the stairs to the bathroom inside of their bedroom Sakura could not help but think over the fact that her daughter wanted her instead of her father. She knew it was petty and immature, but she smiled a little knowing that her daughter had chosen her to go to for comfort.
Review and let me know what you think! This wasn't my best so don't be too harsh, please.
