Prompt 50: Home
"OK, you two sit here!" Sasuke smiled at Keitaro and Hoshiko as the two sat on the couch, anxiously waiting for their mother to enter the house with their new siblings. The twins had been born the day after Christmas, and, while Hoshiko and Keitaro both wanted to go to the hospital to meet them, Sasuke and Asuna deemed it too risky, as they could possibly get sick and then pass it on to the twins. Therefore, they had yet to even see their new siblings in person.
Sure, they had seen the pictures Sasuke brought home for everyone to see, but that was nothing like seeing them in real life.
"All right, come on in!" Sasuke opened the door, only for Daisuke to come in instead with one of the twins in his arms.
"Anyone order a pizza?"
Sasuke sighed, nearly facepalming before he decided it was not needed. Asuna came up behind her brother, the other twin in her arms.
"Daisuke, my daughter is not a pizza!" she kept her voice down, hoping not to take either of the babies. Being only three days old, the two needed to sleep as much as they could.
Daisuke sighed, handing his new niece over to Asuna, before giving a wave to Hoshiko and Keitaro.
"I gotta get home and help Sakura with Natsu and Asari, they're both sick. See you, sis."
Asuna nodded as Daisuke left, making her way over to the couch with the twins and sitting down in between Keitaro and Hoshiko. "All right, you two. In my right arm I have Kurou, and in my left I have Mieko. Who do you want to hold?"
Hoshiko pointed to Mieko, and Sasuke helped hand her over to her older sister.
"Keitaro, are you all right with holding Kurou?"
He nodded, his eyes wide in excitement as his baby brother was handed over to him.
"Which one's older mama?" Hoshiko asked as she stared at the little black haired, black eyed baby girl.
"Kurou is, by about five minutes."
Keitaro nodded as Kurou, with his bright green eyes, stared up him, seeming to know this was his big brother. "Mama, they're so tiny."
Sasuke and Asuna laughed at that, while she nodded. "Yes, they are. You and Hoshiko were this tiny when you were born."
"Kurou looks like mama…"
"Except for his hair. Hoshiko's the only one with your mother's hair color so far."
"But that's ok!" Asuna hugged Hoshiko to her for a second. "It makes you unique!"
Hoshiko just smiled, glad her entire family was together.
"Hoshiko's in bed."
"Keitaro is too."
"Now it's just us and the twins…"
"For a bit, at least."
Asuna smiled as she nodded, looking down at her two little blessings. The two were sleeping happily in their crib, all swaddled up to keep warm throughout the night.
"I love them so much. They're so beautiful, Sasuke."
Sasuke smiled and nodded, hugging Asuna from behind. "Because they have a beautiful mother."
"No, it's because their father is so handsome."
"Let's just agree that it's because of both of us."
"Good idea." Asuna laughed, until she saw Mieko stirring, and she silenced herself. The tiny girl eventually stopped, but not without a few whimpers and then some comforting words from her parents.
"Poor baby. I guess I nearly woke her."
"That, or she misses her big sister."
"You think so?"
"Mm." Sasuke nodded, just staring the twins. "Kurou seemed to know Keitaro was his big brother, and I believe Mieko was the same with Hoshiko."
"Ah. You know what?"
"Hm?"
"Even if these two end up being our final two children, I will be happy. Because I have you and them, and I love you all." Asuna smiled at him, only to receive one in return.
"I love you too."
"It's so good to be home…"
"I agree."
