There cannot be anything more beautiful in this world than watching your husband and new born child embrace, Sakura thinks, as she lies lifelessly on the hospital bed. The spark of wonder in Sasuke's eyes as he gazed down at baby Sarada would become quickly something she'd never forget in her lifetime. And yet, as she drowned in the love that filled the room the very moment their child came to earth, Sakura could not help but feel a tinge of pain in her heart.
The very moment in which Sasuke first holds Sarada, she knows their new bond is something she cannot interrupt, nor ever join. For Sasuke who 'family', has been engrained into everything, his first child will become light that re-kindles the flame of the Uchiha Clan.
Sakura has no place in the Uchiha's.
The new mother can only watch as Sasuke and Sarada share their first moments.
Tears which gather in her eyes threaten to fall, but she holds them back with a steel will for a woman who had just given birth. Still, Sakura isn't sure if the tears are because her heart is bursting with joy for Sasuke's redemption - or whether if it's the fact that Sakura is an outsider to this blood bond.
So when Sakura slowly beings to drift asleep, it comes to her utmost surprise when her fuzzy eyes watch as Sasuke break the eye contact with his child and turn to his wife. Displaying a proud smile and quiet whisper of "Look at our daughter, Sakura.", she knows her doubts had been utterly wrong. She falls asleep with the last thought lingering in her head,
no - Sakura, Sasuke, Sarada, their moments were 'together' now.
thanks for the support!
