Just a chapter with almost everybody having a line to say. I'm not so good with this particular kind of stuff.


Chapter 28: Fun-filled day

Naruto looked outside from one of the windows in the nursery room and smiled, excitement bubbling within him with just the thought of the day's event. Wanting to strengthen the ties within each family of Konoha, he, as the hokage, had passed an announcement declaring today as a family day and thus a holiday.

"Dobe, I think Miki is hungry again," he heard Sasuke said making him roll his eyes. If there was one crime his husband was committing since Miki's birth, it was an attempt of over-feeding their daughter.

"I just fed her an hour ago," was his reply.

"She's your child, Naruto so it won't be surprising if she also has your appetite after all she looks exactly like you." Sasuke wasn't lying. Except for her porcelain skin which was an Uchiha trait, she was a replica of Naruto or to be specific Naruto in his female form. And just by looking at her, Sasuke knew she would either be a man's downfall or inspiration.

Miki made a sound which he interpreted as a giggle and a coy one at that. He gently tapped her nose. "Chichiue won't allow me to give you your milk. Isn't that too bad of him?" His daughter just placed her fist on top of her lips but he took it as an affirmation. "He's just probably jealous of you, after all I'm-"

He was cut off as a small pillow hit at the back of his head. I'm not jealous."

"Mi-chan and I believe otherwise."

"Why should I?" Naruto, feigning annoyance, asked.

A smirking Sasuke looked at him, "Good question, dobe. Why should you?" As if his teasing was not enough, he added, "You shouldn't be because even now you are still the center of my circle.

With a strangled curse, a blushing Naruto continued with packing a few things for the picnic. "Feed her and I'll definitely bar you getting close to her."

"Did you hear that, Mi-chan?" Sasuke asked dramatically, making his wife roll his eyes.

"Chichiue, I'm done" came a voice from the doorway.

Naruto gestured Akemi towards him and started fixing his hair.

"Where's aniki?"

"Sweets," was the boy's short reply but Naruto understood. Yuuzuki was obsessed with sweets just as he was with ramen.

"I'm done," Yuuzuki announced as he swept inside the room. In an affectionate manner, he ruffled Akemi's hair making his younger brother glare at him. Naruto laughed and fixed his hair once more, a gesture that made Akemi smile. He always loved it when his chichiue would focus on him.

"Yuu, make sure otousan won't feed Miki while I'm preparing."

Playfully, his eldest son saluted and sauntered towards his otousan who looked at him irritably. The boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "The boss tells me to."

When Naruto was done, he patted Akemi's head and announced, "Are you guys ready?"

Sasuke smiled and picked up Miki, Akemi gave a small smile while Yuuzuki pumped his fist in the air.

-SasuNaru is love-

When the Uchiha family reached the park, their friends were already there and Sakura was waving towards them. Sasuke who was carrying Miki and Naruto approached them while their two boys ran off to their respective group of friends.

"The park seemed so small," Naruto commented as he let his gaze wander around. There were a lot of families with parents sitting on picnic mats while their children running around and playing. Laughter and fun-filled screams echoed around the place while happiness hovered over it.

"It's definitely going to be a success, Naruto," Iruka exclaimed happily.

"We should thank the committee for this," he said and was about to sit down when he noticed few families were looking at him. He wasn't stupid enough not to know. He looked at Sasuke who nodded in understanding.

Naruto smiled and planted a quick kiss on Miki's forehead, "Chichiue will be back in a short while." Much to his disappointment, Miki wasn't paying any attention to him because she was way too contented leaning against his otousan's chest. Seeing his daughter's reaction or lack there of, he mentally pouted as he started making rounds to talk with the villagers. He was beginning to get jealous of Sasuke. Must all girls, regardless of age, have to be attracted to Sasuke's charms?

-SasuNaru is love-

Sasuke's friends looked amused at his sudden devotion towards one particular girl. It was obvious to them that the Uchiha was focusing all his attention to his daughter, in fact, every time one of them took Miki away from him to cuddle, he seemed to sulk. Few minutes later of almost darkly watching everyone holding his girl, he would take his baby back in his arms.

"He's worse then Neji," Tenten whispered between giggles, recalling how the Hyuuga genius was very protective of their baby girl. Even now, he still was which sometimes drove her in frustration. If Neji kept on restricting her actions in fear of her getting hurt and sick, their child would never enjoy her life.

Sakura smiled. Lee was a complete opposite. He'd let their twins play around with his reasoning that his daughters shouldn't waste their time and also, it was a good way to build their bodies' endurance, strength as well as improved their bodies' immunity.

"I wonder if Chouji would be protective also," Ino sighed and looked at her protruding stomach. She hoped that this time, they'd have a baby girl.

"Kiba is also protective of Yumiko," Hinata commented, "I think when it comes to daughters, fathers are."

Shino's wife nodded.

"I think he," Temari pointed to her husband who was trying to get some sleep, "is an exception."

"Even if he's lazy, he'd be no exception. Now, if only you could ask him to give you a daughter," Sakura suggested.

"Too troublesome," Temari answered, perfectly imitating her husband and the other kunoichis chuckled.

Naruto let out a sigh as he settled on the mat beside Sasuke.

"Perfect timing," Iruka said and immediately offered Naruto some food. The blonde denied saying he was full after the food the happy villagers insisted he should eat. And since Sasuke had to eat, he gave Miki to his wife - an act that didn't make Miki happy. She wanted to remain in her otousan's arms and she made it known by stretching her arms towards her dark-haired father. When both of them ignored her wishes, her lips started quivering and her eyes watery and reddish. Before she would start crying, Sasuke took her back and Naruto had no choice but to feed Sasuke at the same time pay attention to Akemi to make sure he was eating vegetables.

-SasuNaru is love-

He was the green beast of Konoha, respected and unbeatable and. he was the best taijutsu-expert jounin, feared and invincible so why, oh why, couldn't he keep up with these little devils whom he were playing with him. Were his trainings not enough? he wondered as he ran after his playmates as they continued playing tag game.

"Boys!" Ino shouted, "Give your uncle Lee some break before he collapses."

"I'm not yet tired," Lee replied

"But your wheezing," the bleach-blonde woman said and she started counting one to three in a threathening tone before the brats finally listened to her.

Kakashi who had been sitting and secretly reading his book let out a surprised gasp as he felt more than two bodies colliding his back.

"What are you reading?" one of Shikamaru's sons asked and Kakashi immediately tucked the orange book away. He was more afraid of Iruka finding out that he was reading with the kids around than of kids knowing how wicked the reading material was.

"Nothing," he said melodiously. The boy grinned devilishly in return and the next thing Kakashi knew there were more than 7 boys trying to wrestle him down as another two started looking for their orange-clad target.

After more minutes of wrestling and crying how unfair the silver-haired jounin was, Kakashi finally found himself dumped by these sore losers. He looked up when he heard Iruka laughing.

"You looked like you're pissed off."

"I'm pissed off. Stupid brats. They'll kill me one day."

The teacher smiled because he knew Kakashi didn't mean it. He knew his husband loved kids otherwise they won't have three adopted children now.

Naruto leaned his head back as he felt arms wrapping around his neck. His gaze locked with Akemi's eyes.

"I want ice-cream," Akemi said and behind him his older brother also voiced a similar want. "Ice cream cart is over there." To prove his point, he pointed to the other end of the park where the cart was parked.

"If you want ice-cream then I guess you also want balloons," Naruto quipped. Akemi scrunched his face in what looked like disgust.

"I'm not a kid anymore," Yuuzuki said.

"You still are," Sasuke interjected.

The moment Naruto stood up, Akemi started dragging him while Yuuzuki pushed him.

-SasuNaru is love-

"Let's take a bath together," Yuuzuki suggested. A pouting Akemi thought about it for awhile before he nodded.

"No jumping in the bathtub," Naruto called after them while thinking that he never thought he could have so much fun with his family in just one day. He glanced at Sasuke who was obviously drained. With the games they participated, who wouldn't be? But Sasuke didn't mind because he was having too much fun. He never had this so much fun in his childhood and it seemed amusing and ironic to him that even in his age, he was enjoying those child games. It was as if he was rewriting instead of reliving his childhood.

"I'll give Miki a bath" he heard Naruto said. He nodded and surprisingly, the baby didn't protest when her otousan handed her over to her chichiue.

Humming a tune, Sasuke was about to start unpacking when he remembered something. He took out their new family picture from his pouch and stared at it.

With the clear blue sky as their backdrop, he and Naruto sat on the grass. He was carrying Miki while Akemi sat on Naruto's lap. Yuuzuki, standing behind his parents with his arms draped on their shoulders, leaned a bit forward so his head would be between his parents. To top it off, all of them were smiling with Yuuzuki and Naruto sharing an identical grin.

The ANBU captain inserted the picture into an empty frame and placed it on the top of one of the tables where their previous family pictures were located. He gazed at them each a proof of how his family had grown in numbers from just him and Naruto to them and their three children.

Before he walked away from the table, he said a silent prayer to his and Naruto's parents.

Watch over them for they are my treasures among treasures.

-speechless for few minutes- This is almost like a filler. Miki is already Otousan's girl while Akemi is Chichiue's. Somehow, I have to give more effort in writing this. I can't find my momentum when writing this kind of chapter so it's a bit dragging and disappointing, I know. I'll try to make up in the next chapter.
