"Why are we even allowing this, Sakura?" Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

Honestly, it was enough to know that his precious daughter was in a whirlwind romance with his idiotic best friend's son, but for them to get engaged in less than three months was off-putting. It wasn't like his daughter to behave this way. What if they were hiding something? What if there's another reason why they wanted to get married right away? What if–

"Darling?" His wife placed the bowl of soup down on the table, snapping him a hard stare. "We're happy for our baby, aren't we?"

He scowled and crossed his arms across his chest. "They've only known each other for three months!"

Sakura looked at him like he'd grown an extra head. "They've known each other since they could crawl."

He looked away, trying to hide how irritated he was. As his wife approached, Sasuke cracked an eye open to peek at her smiling face and felt the heat rush to his cheeks. "So annoying," he muttered.

Sakura laughed and cupped both of his cheeks. "Sarada loves him very much, Sasuke-kun. Boruto isn't a bad guy, either. You taught him. You would know."

His lower lip jutted out infinitesimally and he faced his wife and held her hands. "I know, but this is our daughter."

"Which is why we will support this decision of hers," Sakura finished. It was then Sasuke knew he had no more say in the matter.

They heard someone at the door. "Mama? Papa?"

The thought finally registered. Sarada's home.

"Hey, Aunt Sakura! We got you those ingredients you needed!" a male voice called out.

Sasuke closed his eyes as if pained. Boruto was here, too.

"I'm coming!" Sakura called, but she never let go of her husband's face.

"It's all right, Mama. Boruto and I can help with dinner," Sarada replied. They were both coming into the dining room.

Sasuke frowned. Sakura gave him a pointed glare and pinched his cheeks up, making his face twist into an awkward and pained looking grin.

"Just smile," Sakura said in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Hey, Sensei!" Boruto said. "I got you potatoes. They're your favorite, right?"

Sasuke stiffened under Sakura's hold.

"Hey, Sarada, let me get that for you. You're not supposed to be carrying things when you're pregnant," Boruto said in a voice that was meant to be low, but Sakura and Sasuke heard it loud and clear.

Both of them stiffened like statues. Sasuke's face felt hot, and it looked like he was ready to commit bloody murder. Sakura knew this was going to be one hell of a night, but she really needed her husband to behave, despite the news they just heard.

Sakura forced a nervous smile on her face. She, too, was feeling a myriad of emotions.

She pinched Sasuke's cheeks a little tighter and held them up into an even wider and more twisted looking smile. "I really need you to smile right now."
