Chapter.9. Fulfilled Happiness And Content Endings.

As the days continued to pass, Sakura came closer and closer to her due date, and she was getting a little nervous about it. She was currently sitting at home, talking with both Naruto and Kakashi about baby names. Naruto at first insisted that she name the boy after him, but Kakashi said that having one Naruto was defiantly enough.

"Well, how about Mitsuki for the girl?" Sakura said as she reached for another piece of cucumber, on the platter of fresh vegetables and fruit that she had laid out for them. When she leaned back into the couch her hand instantly came to rest on her swollen stomach, as a sharp pain shot through her. Taking a deep, soothing breath and slowly exhaling, she rubbed the side of her stomach to try and help ease the pain.

Out of the corner of his eye, Kakashi had noticed the movement and quietly asked her if she was alright. Not wanting anyone to worry, she just as silently replied that she was fine. Tuning back into what Naruto was talking about they both disregarded what had happened, that is, until the pain occurred again only this time much worse and actually cased Sakura to let out a cry of pain.

"Sakura, are you alright?" Naruto asked, his voice laced with both concern and fear as to not knowing what was happing. Again another sharp pain tore through her body, causing her to once more cry out. It was at that moment that both Kakashi and Sakura realized that she was going into labor.

"We have to get you to the hospital, Sakura? can you move?" Kakashi asked his voice calm and collected, soothed Sakura a bit, and allowed her not to panic, but instead helped her to focus. Through the pain, she nodded her head and did as Kakashi asked until she was held in his arms, only then did he teleport them to the hospital, with Naruto right behind them.

After ten long hours in the delivery, Sakura now propped up in a hospital bed, held her beautiful new bourn babies. A boy named Shi and a darling little girl name Inichi, life and death. They both had black hair, but the little girl had her mother's eyes, while her son, looked exactly like his father. All her friends from the rookie nine had already come and visited, bring gifts for the two little ones.

As she sat, humming an old lullaby to her children as they slept, when she sensed a strong chakra that she had not been around for almost her entire pregnancy, Itachi's. Turning to the window, she saw the non-cloaked figure of the man she fell in love with and couldn't contain the smile the adorned her face. Walking over to her and his children, he took a seat on the bed beside her and gently took his daughter into his arms.

He felt his breath leave him as he noticed that she was just as beautiful as her mother. Slowly and gently, he began to rock her as her little hand came up to grasp his shirt, before she once more succumbed to sleep, safe in her father's arms. Looking back into the smiling face of his fiance, he asked the only question that continued to reside in his mind.

"What are their names?" His voice was just as deep and velvety as she remembered, and it still sent shivers down her spin. Smiling she looked down at her son and then at her daughter, before looking back up at their father before she answered with a hint of pride in her voice.

"Shi and Inichi Uchiha." Repeating it, he found that the names not only suited them but seemed to also represent what their lives would revolve around. And with that realization he couldn't be prouder to be their father. Gently he placed both his daughter and her twin brother into their crib, before moving back to lie down with Sakura, both whispering words of love to each other before sleep over came them and they both joined the infants into the land of dreams.

Two months after the twins were born, Sakura had convinced the Hokage to allow Itachi to live with her and his children as long as he once more became a ninja for the village hidden in the leafs, in which he gladly accepted. Not long after Naruto was named hokage, and shortly later announced not only his engagement to the Hyuga heiress, but the joy that in seven months, he would be a father. That night the rookie nine, and Sakura with Itachi, through the happy couple a party.

Over the next few months Konoha along with Suna, brought down what was left of the Akatsuki, both Sakura and Itachi were in the large squad sent out to dispatch them. After when everything finally was at peace, other members of the rookie nine began to settle down. Like their father, Shi and Inichi entered the academy at a young age, along with mastering the Sharingan, although to every one's surprise it turned out that Inichi was slightly a faster learner than her brother who seemed to only master things a couple of hours after his sister. Naruto and Hinata had a son in which they named Souske, and he, even at a young age seemed to take after his father, but also contained his mother's shyness, which made a wonderful combination in Sakura's eyes. The children of the rookie nine, eventually all became ninja's, grew up got married and had children of their own. Naruto and Sakura passed away the same month, only three days apart. The following month on the same days as their respected other's, Itachi and Hinata also passed away.

All of them reaching a respectful age of 76 years old, and Itachi, 81.
