Sorry Guys! College and Writer's block were kicking my ass from both sides! Enjoy!

"That prissy little bitch is going to pay." Sakura hissed as she paced back and forth in the living room. Harry sat on the couch with Sasuke and Itachi. All three watched the furious pinkette pace the floor as she impatiently waited for news or her charge, Draco. Due to her pregnancy her chakra would sometimes be unresponsive to her call so she had to get Tsunade to tend to Draco's wounds.

Sasuke sighed, "I don't think all this stress is good for the babies. Sit down and I'll make you some tea."

Sakura scowled. "We should just set her on fire, then I won't be so stressed."

Itachi chuckled and stood. "I'll get the tea." Sasuke sent a grateful smile to his brother before standing to go try to calm his rage filled fiancée.

"Sakura." Tsunade called as she entered the room.

"Yes shishou?" Sakura stood at attention and a smile tried to force its way onto Tsunade's face. He's fine now, he's sleeping."

Sakura let out a relieved sigh and sent a bright smile her teacher's way. "Thank you shishou."

"I hope someone obliterated the scumbag who left him in this condition." Tsunade grumbled.

"I crushed his hand." Itachi offered as he handed Sakura a mug of tea.

"That's a start." Tsunade said. "Get some rest Sakura, you need it." Tsunade turned to Harry's tense form. "My name is Tsunade, I am The Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure no sato. Sakura was my student and the closest thing I'll ever have to a daughter. You may call me aunt Tsunade if you wish but call me grandma and I'll throw you out a window." Tsunade nodded to herself before her expression softened. "We are all happy to have you here Harry and I'm sorry life hasn't been kinder to you." Tsunade left the house to go hide from Shizune and hopefully acquire some sake while she was at it.

Sakura sighed. "Come on Harry, I want to show you your room, I hope you like it." Sakura sent an exhausted smile at the boy before taking his hand and leading him up the stairs to a room with Harry carved on the door. The door opened and Harry's jaw dropped. A cage for Hedwig was situated next to the window. A long desk took up most of one wall and on the other side was a double bed decked out in Gryffindor colors with the Gryffindor crest in the center of the blanket. On the wall housing the door was a cherry dresser with a TV on top.

"This- This is for me?" He whispered.

"Mmmhmmm, I hope you like it, Minerva helped me make the crest for the blanket. So, do you like it?" She asked.

Harry turned and wrapped his arms around the small pink haired woman. "Thank you, this is so much better than my cupboard under the stairs."

Sakura's eyes narrowed. "They made you sleep in a cupboard?"

"For several years, yes." He mumbled, still overwhelmed by the generosity of his cousin.

"Well you never have to go back there again." Sakura mumbled. "Get some rest, I'll see you in the morning."

The next morning saw Sasuke making scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon while Sakura chopped up various fruits into cubes and divided them up between four bowls. "I know you got up in the middle of the night to check on Draco and Harry." Sasuke casually said.

"Draco's wounds are healing nicely, they'll be perfectly fine in just a few hours. Harry was sound asleep when I peaked in on him. Did you know they made him sleep in a damn cupboard under the stairs?" Sakura said.

"He's here now, they both are, and they're both safe." Sasuke leaned against the counter next to his fiancé.

"I just keep thinking about it. Why didn't anyone know about the abuse until it was too late? Why didn't my mother know? Why didn't I know?" Sakura said quietly.

"You were a little busy fighting a war." He replied. "The guilt won't change anything. Let it go for now. The boys will be down soon enough."

Sakura sat at the table and smiled when the boys appeared. Harry was walking slowly next to Draco so Draco wouldn't feel the need to rush. A pronounced limp made Sakura wince. Perhaps she would pay another visit to Lucius Malfoy after all. "Have a seat boys, dig in."

(A few days later)

Sakura skipped into the house late on Christmas Eve with a small amount of blood staining her knuckles. Itachi was playing chess with Draco while Harry and Shisui were having a conversation on the couch. Sasuke had left on a short mission with Neji the night before. He was bid farewell with a small threat that if he wasn't back by midnight tonight he would suddenly lose the ability to have children.

Itachi looked up and sighed. "Whose blood is it Sakura?" Itachi asked.

Sakura froze and slowly turned her head to smile at her brother in law. "No one's."

"Sakura." Itachi tilted his head and waited.

"Nope. I'm not guilty of anything….right now." Sakura mumbled the last part. "SO Sasuke's sure cutting it close." Sakura announced.

"Avoiding the question and changing the subject doesn't work on me Sakura." Itachi said.

"It's alright Itachi, I'll tell you later. Right now though everyone needs to go to bed." Sasuke interjected as he came in the door.

"Hey Sasuke, how was the mission?" Harry asked.

"Tiring. Now I'll see all of you in the morning. Good night." Sasuke said as he took Sakura's hand and led her away back to their room.

Sakura sat on the bed and listened to Harry, and Draco settle into bed. Itachi and Shisui left for the night. We would all meet at the main house in the morning to exchange presents.

"That is Lucius Malfoy's blood, is it not?" Sasuke casually asked as he readied himself for bed.

Sakura toyed with the ring on her finger and didn't answer. Sasuke paused and dropped his shirt to the floor. In a moment he was in front of her and tilting her face so that she would look at him, "What is it?" He asked.

"She didn't care Sasuke. She only gave a damn when I was beating on her husband? She said Draco deserved it for being disobedient. How can anyone, especially a mother, feel that way about her child?" Sakura shuddered and leaned into Sasuke's warmth. "I don't want to be like her." Sakura whispered quietly, secretly hoping Sasuke wouldn't be able to hear her. "What if I turn out like her?"

Sasuke froze. "You will never turn out like her. You are already more of a mother to Draco than she ever was or ever will be."

Sakura sighed. "You always know what to say."

"It's a talent." He drawled.

He smirked. "Now that the boys are in bed why don't we celebrate my return from the mission properly?" He pulled her face to his and kissed her, slowly, sweetly.

Sakura sighed against his lips and opened her eyes to meet his hopeful ones. Who'd have guessed the infamous Uchiha Ice Cube was so interested in sex. "Nice try, but we have to go put presents under the tree."

Sasuke smirked. "Nope, Itachi took the family presents back to the main house and the regular ones we have for the boys are already under it. So, nice try." He said.

Sakura's pink eyebrow rose and a devious smile spread across her face. "Well then, don't forget the silencing jutsu."

The next morning sunlight streamed through the opened window and for a moment Harry forgot where he was. For a moment he thought he was still at Hogwarts. Because the bed was too soft to be the uncomfortable one he left at the Dursley's.

When he realized where he was however a slow smile spread across his lips, this was his home now. He had people here who loved him. Soon enough however a ball of nervousness grew in the pit of his stomach. Today would be the day he met Sasuke's parents, and the rest of Sakura and Sasuke's friends and comrades. He didn't want them to hate him. Everyone he ever met with the Dursley's had hated him, what if the same thing happened here? Harry tried to calm himself down. It was Christmas and he was going to go wake up Draco. Harry got out of bed and padded across the wood floor to leave his room. He could smell ham so at least one of his new parental figures was up and moving. Harry froze in the middle of the hallway when he realized where his thoughts had led him. Parental figures? Parents? HE was thinking of Sasuke and Sakura as his parents? But they weren't that much older than him! That's in body, he thought. In mind they are far, far older than anyone I've ever known. Maybe he'd talk to Draco or Hermione or Ron later, maybe one of them could help him sort out these feelings. It's just gratitude, He thought firmly. They gave you a home and family that's all.

Harry shook his head and knocked on Draco's door. "Come in." Harry heard and so he opened the door and quickly scanned the room before him. Draco's room was very similar to his accept for the bedding was in Slytherin colors. "Ready?" Harry asked.

"Yes, let's head to breakfast shall we?" Draco said. "Got the presents?" He asked.

Harry nodded. "Wrapped and under the tree."

When the two boys entered the kitchen they encountered a strange sight. Sakura was sitting at the table inhaling eggs and a ham steak while Sasuke cooked at the stove and was whistling a merry little tune neither could place. "Merry Christmas boys." Sakura said after swallowing a mouthful of food.

Sasuke gave them a similar greeting and smiled at them for good measure. The boys were understandably bewildered. It wasn't like Sasuke was always walking around grumpy but it was usually a smirk or a blank expression they saw on his face, not a smile. Those were rare. So what happened to put this smile on his face that wouldn't seem to go away?

At that moment Shisui walked in and froze in the doorway. "You got laid!" He exclaimed as he dramatically pointed a finger at Sasuke.

Sasuke's good mood vanished and a glared was trained on the newest arrival. "Hush Shisui, there are children present." Itachi commented as he passed the still frozen Shisui and sat next to Sakura. He gazed at her in amusement. "Hungry are we?" He asked.

Sakura glared at him. "Shut the hell up, I'm feeding three people."

The boys sat on the other side of Sakura and dug into the plates of food Sasuke sat down in front of them. Sasuke sat down with his little family and smiled to himself once again. Nothing was going to spoil his mood today, not even Shisui.

"PRESENT TIME!" Sakura picked up Sasuke's plate and brought it with her into the living room so that Sasuke would be forced to follow. Draco and Harry followed closely behind with matching grins on their faces. The three Uchiha left behind shared amused smiles before following the three into the living room and taking up seats around the lit up tree. Shisui and Itachi each sat in recliners while Sakura and Sasuke took a love seat. Draco and Harry sat on the floor and examined the presents, they were very surprised to note that other than the presents they'd purchased for everyone all the colorfully wrapped packages had their names on them. "Open them, don't be shy." Sakura smiled sweetly at the baffled boys as Sasuke nodded next to her while he attempted to finish eating his breakfast.

The first presents they unwrapped were shirts. Harry's was red, one of the Gryffindor colors, and stitched on the back was the Uchiha fan surrounded by a Haruno circle. Draco's was the same except his shirt was green.

"You are our children now, this is both of our clan symbols combined, and we thought you might like them. If you don't however, there is more-" Sasuke said.

"We love them." Harry and Draco said simultaneously cutting off Sasuke.

Several presents later and the floor was covered in wrapping paper and various gifts. Now that the boys were done though, they really wanted to show their new family the gifts they'd gotten for them. Draco and Harry pulled four carefully wrapped packages out from behind the tree. Itachi and Shisui were both handed a gift as well as Sasuke and Sakura.

Itachi received a blanket colored dark blue and bronze upon which the crest of Ravenclaw was sewed. Under the symbol was the verse of the sorting song of the house, "Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a steady mind. Where those of wit and learning will always find their kind."

Shisui received a similar item colored yellow and black upon which the crest of Hufflepuff was sewed. Under the symbol was the verse of the sorting song of the house, "You might belong in Hufflepuff where they are just and loyal. Those patient Hufflepuff's are true and unafraid of toil."

Sasuke also received a blanket colored green and silver upon which the crest of Slytherin was sewed. Under the symbol was the verse of the sorting song of the house, "Or perhaps in Slytherin you'll make your real friends. Those cunning folks use any means to achieve their ends."

Sakura carefully unwrapped her red and gold blanket upon which the Gryffindor crest was sewed. Under the crest was the verse of the sorting song of the house, "You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave of heart. Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindor's apart." Sakura sobbed and launched herself at the boys. Pulling them both to her for a hug. And while she cried the Uchiha tried to hide their amused smirks as they heard her muttering, "Damn hormones."
