When Sakura finally came too they has stopped in a small town; when she opened the door to get out Sasuke was there holding out his hand to help her climb down. She smiled and took his hand; they walked around the town still holding hands. She smiled at the kids playing while their parents worked in their shops. Most of these kids were covered in dirt, and their clothes were torn. The more she looked around the more she seemed to notice that this town was a poor town, the prices were a little on the high side but they needed money to feed their children.

"We're not too far from my parent's castle." Sasuke said softly trying to break Sakura away from her thoughts. "They house a lot of traveling vampires, so they're might be people you meet that you'll see every day and some are only there for a night."

She subconsciously scooted close to, if they found out she was a hunter they would surely try and kill here right?

Almost sensing his mates distress he stopped and placed his finger lightly on her chin making her look up at him. He kissed her soft lips; his fingers traveled from her chin to her cheek, she leaned into his hand and wrapped her arms around him.

"Thank you Sasuke." She whispered softly.

The happy couple made their way back after getting snacks and food for his pregnant mate and friends. Sakura and Hinata were left in the carriage as the boy went to hunt.

"It's so weird; I didn't know Sasuke had to hunt. I feel kind of dumb for not knowing what he was doing when he would randomly sneak out in the middle of the night when he thought I was asleep." She said sarcastically, taking a bite out something sweet.

The sun was starting to set; the sky was a beautiful mix of orange and pinks, she folded her arms and placed them on the small window ledge waiting for her love to come back to they could start moving again. She sighed and stepped out letting the cold air hit her hot skin, she didn't realize how hot she was until she stepped outside. She placed her hand on her swollen belly; "You awful hyper today are you?" she whispered.

She moaned as a pain shot up her back and in her stomach; "Sakura, dear are you okay?" Mikoto stepped out of her carriage and made her way towards her daughter.

"Pain." Was all she was able to get out before she dropped to her knees; the cry she was trying to hold back finally came out.

"Sakura!" Hinata followed suit, she knelt over the trembling pinkette; "She's going to have the baby!"

Her breathe started to become labored, the sweating pooling off her skin as the pain began to increase;"Sakura I need you to breathe and I know it sounds crazy but I need you to relax okay? You have to stay calm or you'll her Sarada." Hinata stated calmly.

"We need to get her back inside and find Sas-" she was cut off as the man she was talking about appeared next to his fallen mate. "We need blankets and pillows to help make her as comfortable as possible."

"I'll run into town and get some more." He simply walked forward and kissed Sakura's forehead "Hang in there sis, you can do it." He whispered and was off before anyone could stop him.

Hinata and Mikoto made bed on the floor out of pillows and blankets they had; his father went off to refill the water supply. Sasuke stood there holding his mate as she whimpered in pain; he wished he could take some of it away but he knew there was nothing he could except be there for her. He slowly walked in and placed her down taking her small delicate hand in his; he leaned forward and placed his forehead on hers.

"Hang in there Sakura; I'm right here." He whispered.

He watched as Hinata tore some rags and placed them in the water and placing the rag on Sakura's forehead. "I have to check and see how far along you are okay?" Sakura simply nodded.

Sakura let out a cry of pain and squeezed Sasuke's hand so hard he thought she was going to break it; "Sakura when I tell you to push I need you to push okay?" Hinata said calmly.

Mikoto and Sasuke help her hand and legs as Hinata had asked them too; if he wasn't already pale Sasuke was now. He had seen men get their head torn off and even split in two but this was nothing compared to that. He was watching the love of his life bring another person in this world that he already loved more than life itself. Sakura was giving him a family; she was showing him the peaceful side of life that he had never known. He had a mother, father and a brother, but never did he feel this kind of warmth from their love.

"PUSH!" Hinata yelled and with a battle cry Sakura pushed.

She fell back panting; tears falling from her cheek as Hinata yelled for her to push again. With all her strength she pushed again; Hinata called for her to push one more time. She held onto their hands and pushed as hard as she could.

"I see the head! Here she comes!" Hinata yelled happily.

Soon the small space was filled with the wailing of a baby, she placed the small baby on Sakura's chest "Sarada, it's nice to meet you." Sakura cried as Sasuke held them both even a small tear fell from his eye. Mikoto cried with joy as she watched her son, daughter, and grandchild. She has never seen her son this happy and it warmed her heart to be able to see it.

Hinata began to clean Sakura up "How are you feeling Sakura?" she asked softly "Sasuke, Mikoto can you take baby Sarada outside so I can change the sheets and get Sakura comfortable?"

The pair did as she asked but he didn't leave before he placed a soft kiss on her forehead; outside his parents gushed over how much Sarada looked like him but had Sakura soft features. Naruto came back with some more blankets; he knocked softly giving them to his mate as she closed the door he turned to see his niece and couldn't help but cry with happiness.

"Would you like to hold her Naruto?" Mikoto asked softly.

He peered at the bundle wrapped in her arms and nodded "Hey there." He whispered.

Sarada reached up with her tiny hand and grabbed the tip of his finger; she cooed as he spoke to her. Hinata stepped out walking over to the small bundle of joy and taking her from Naruto gently "We need to let the family bond now." She said as she kissed his cheek; handing the baby to Sasuke and ushering him into the small space where a make shift bed was made. He climbed in kicking his shoes off; placing little Sarada next to her sleeping mother. He sat on the seat watching his two beautiful ladies as they peacefully slept with a true smile on his face.

They set off for their new home with a new Uchiha member in tow; Mikoto was ready to show the world the newest addition to the Uchiha family but they were unaware of the nightmare watching their every move waiting to take the new member.

Hmmm what do you think will happen next?

Will I keep it peaceful or will a family be ripped apart and shaken to its very core?
