CHAPTER 11

Sakura woke up in a warm embrace. She smiled sleepily and huddled closer in Sasuke's arms. She let out a contented sigh as Sasuke's long fingers stroked her hair. Sakura opened her eyes and turned to look at Sasuke. His intense dark eyes met with her emerald ones.

"Good morning." Sakura said yawning.

"Good morning. How are you feeling Sakura?" Sasuke asked concerned.

"I am feeling better." She answered. "I hate hospitals. When am I going to be discharged?" Sakura asked frowning.

"That, we will have to ask Tsunade. You rest; I will go and inform her. I will also bring something for you to eat." Sasuke said and got up.

Sasuke went to Tsunade and notified her about Sakura. They both returned to the room. Tsunade examined her and told her that she will be discharged in two days, to which Sakura pouted.

Tsunade placed her hand on Sakura's shoulder and looked at her sternly. "Sakura, you frightened us all. Why didn't you tell us that you were injected with poison?"

"I am sorry. I forgot about that in all that mess that happened that day." Sakura said apologetically.

"Fine, I will go now. If you need anything come to my office, ok?" Tsunade said and they nodded their head.

Sasuke sat down on the bed as Tsunade left the room. He took out the soup for Sakura and fed her. First, Sakura was embarrassed when Sasuke lifted the spoon to her mouth but then Sasuke was adamant that he would not allow her to move since she was weak and injured, to which she argued, but of course Sasuke won the argument. After few spoons Sakura protested.

"No, I don't want to eat. My stomach is full." Sakura whined.

"You were out for five days, for god's sake. How come you are not hungry?" Sasuke asked raising his brows questioningly.

"This soup is so tasteless. I don't like it." Sakura grimaced.

"Of course it will be tasteless, it is herbal soup. Now eat, just two more spoons." With that she had to surrender to Sasuke and had to complete the bowl. Even though she showed displeasure on her face, she was happy on the inside that she had someone to care for her.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was two in the noon when Sakura was flooded with visitors. First Naruto flew in and hugged her literally suffocating her (Sasuke threw him out of the room bodily). Then Ino came in with Tenten and Hinata, who enlightened her about the gossips that she had missed out for five days.

Sakura got a huge surprise when the kids came in with Mr and Mrs Watanabe. Kari immediately extended his hands for Sakura to take, and Sakura took him in her arms happily. Yuki and Kaoru brought her flowers and 'get well soon' cards for her.

Yui brought fruits for Sakura and told her that they are staying with the kids at Uchiha mansion. Sakura apologised for their trouble to which Sota waved his hands dismissingly and told her that they were happy to help her for taking care of their grandkids. The kids cried as they departed for their home, unhappy to leave their mother. Sakura hugged them and promised to come back home after two days.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sakura was discharged. Sasuke had been very caring. He carried her all the way to her bedroom bridal style. Sakura blushed when Yui and Sota grinned at her knowingly. The kids were very exultant to meet their mother.

After laying her down on the bed, Sasuke went to the bathroom and prepared warm water for her bath. He went back into the room and carried her into the bathroom. He placed her down and let her undress while he searched for a towel in the closet. When he came back, he saw her struggling to remove the blue dress that hospital had provided. Her right hand was not fully healed and Tsunade had instructed her not to use her right hand excessively.

Sasuke went to her and unbuttoned the dress. Sakura blushed, although she cuddled with him, she was very self-conscious about getting naked in front of him. Sasuke being the gentleman helped her without touching her inappropriately. Sakura was just in her bra and panties, her face was reddened. Sasuke told her to turn around so that he could unhook her bra and assured her that he would not look at her. She nodded her head, Sakura trusted Sasuke and she knew that he would never go back on his words.

Sakura turned with her back towards Sasuke. Sasuke unhooked her bra and Sakura held it to her breast from exposing it. He turned away from her and told her to get in the tub and that he would come back in fifteen minutes. After Sasuke left Sakura removed her panties and scampered into the tub. She heaved a satisfied sigh. She felt calm immersing in the warm water. She cleaned herself and then shut her eyes, leaning on to the side of the bathtub.

Sakura woke up to the touch of warm arms lifting her; she wrapped her hands around his neck too tired to protest him. She looked to see that she was securely covered in a towel. Sasuke took her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed. She smiled at him sleepily. Sasuke dressed her in one of his oversized shirt. He kissed her forehead tenderly and then draped the blanket on her and left the room.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Mr and Mrs Watanabe went back to the sand village. Sakura's friends came every day to meet her; even Tsunade came to do check-ups. The next few days were very good for Sakura. Sasuke didn't allow her to move even though her injury had been healed. Even the kids were very helpful, assisting their father to do household chores. They made sure that Sakura won't work under Sasuke's absence. Sakura felt loved. She smiled as Yuki struggled to carry the plates from the kitchen to the dining table. Sakura realised that the kids were as stubborn as her, refusing her help and instructing her to rest.

After eating the dinner, Sasuke read bedtime stories to the kids and got them to sleep. He came to his bedroom and help Sakura into her nightdress. Sasuke laid down on the bed pulling Sakura closer to his body and kissed her forehead. She snuggled closer to him nuzzling her nose in the crook of his neck.

Sakura raised her head and looked into Sasuke's dark eyes. She gave him a soft kiss on his lips hastily.

"What was that for?" Sasuke asked with an amused smile.

Sakura smiled, eyes sparkling with mischief. "I was thanking you for being there for me."

Sasuke lowered his head and kissed her softly. The kiss was so soft that she could barely feel the pressure of his lips. Soon it turned into an intense make-out session, each yanking and caressing another. He positioned her onto her back and got on top of her. She tangled her fingers in his soft hair while his hands were around her hips, holding her for leverage. They broke away from the kiss when they heard a noise of someone opening the door.

Sasuke shifted from above her and they both stared at the intruder. Yuki stood at the door with her favourite doll in her hand shyly.

"What's the matter, honey?" Sakura asked concerned.

Yuki lowered her head embarrassed. "I had a nightmare." She whispered quietly.

Sasuke immediately got up from the bed and took Yuki in his arms. "Do you want to sleep with us Yuki?" Sasuke asked her tenderly. Yuki nodded her head in response. He took her to the bed and placed her in between him and Sakura.

Sakura immediately embraced her to her chest and patted her back soothingly. Sasuke laid his hands on Sakura's waist cocooning Yuki in between them. Soon she heard Yuki's steady breathing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sakura woke up early and kissed both Yuki and Sasuke, who were deep in sleep. Yuki was sleeping with her head on Sasuke's chest and his arms around her as if protecting her. She smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast; she decided that she would start doing work from today even if Sasuke protested about it.

Sakura was organising the plates when Sasuke and the kids came downstairs. Sakura smiled.

"Did you sleep well, honey?" Sakura asked Yuki.

"Yes Mommy." Yuki answered smiling brightly.

"Mommy?" Yuki called.

"Hmm?" Sakura answered while serving the dishes.

"Why was Daddy on top of you yesterday?" Yuki asked innocently.

Sasuke chocked on his tea while Sakura nearly dropped the food. Sakura blushed remembering yesterday's make-out session that was disrupted by Yuki.

"Ah…why don't you ask your Daddy?" Sakura said, pretending naive.

The kids attention turned to their father, both looking at him innocently waiting for his answer. He glared at Sakura for trapping him.

Sakura and Sasuke let out a relieved sigh when they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Naruto burst in and the kids forgot about the incident, eager to meet their favourite Uncle Naruto.
