Marry someone who is proud of you..


Kakashi looked on amused as Sakura moved around the kitchen, Ichiro on her hip chewing on what looked like a piece of bread. Phone tucked between her shoulder and ear first scolding Naruto about the needs of a pregnant woman, and that Ramen shouldn't be her only form of nutrition. Poor Hinata, he remarked. Next was their retired godaime asking her about Shizune's sake hiding spots. After that, was the woman before mentioned reassuring Sakura that she wasn't needed at the hospital and to enjoy her day off with her son and husband.

All while making breakfast. How she did it, he didnt know. But he commended her for it. She made the transitions between wife, mother, friend & medic all while being a shinobi flawlessly and he applaud her for it. He just wished she'd let him help take the load off and at least prepare breakfast on her day off, but the way she briefly kissed him then pushed him on the chair and told him to sit like a good dog, it seemed very unlikely she needed his help. He was afraid he'd only be in her way.

After the phone was put away, Ichiro deposited on his lap with his bottle, Sakura went on to finish breakfast before placing it on the table before them and finally sat down with a sigh. it wasnt long before Ichiro finished his bottle and tried squirming out of kakashis arms to go play with "doggy", his chubby legs taking him to where Pakkun was napping. Kakashi looked on with a smirk before turning to his wife who was chewing her lower lip and stabbing at her eggs

"Sakura.."

her bright green eyes looked up surprised to meet his and he smiled at her, she smiled back at him and he saw something in her eyes he couldnt quite read, she looked to be.. Nervous? He held her left hand on which her weddingband sat proudly before inching closer.

"Have i told you lately how proud i am of you?"

A pink blush quickly brushed onto her cheeks as she diverted her eyes and shyly covered her mouth with her hand. Kakashi smirked as she did so, he loved the way his otherwise fierce wife to this day shyed away at him complimenting her. Lightly squeezing his hand she met his eyes again and smiled wide

"Speaking of.. Im rather proud of you too. You seem to be taking the news rather well, considering the way you reacted when i first told you about Ichiro"

She lightly chuckled remembering the copy nin fainting when he was told that she was pregnant. Though he'd deny it till his dying day. Frowning at her words he sat straighter

"What news?"

At this Sakura's eyes widen

"You mean you didn't see it? I left it on your nightstand"

"Left what on my nightstand?"

He pushed his chair back and stood up to go look, his curiosity now peeked, Sakura quickly swooped Ichiro in her arms as she followed him and stood by the door as Kakashi picked up the pregnancy test, turning it around in his hand before finally reading the little screen. Wide charcoal eyes turned to meet questioning jade ones

"Y-you're pregnant?"

Biting her lip yet again, Sakura nodded while her hands adjusted the squirming 2 year old on her hip

"Thats great!" He exclaimed

She giggled to herself as she watched him sprawled on the floor 2 seconds later.
