Maybe Three

Rated: T

"Sakura, I'm home." Sasuke calls out as he closes the front door removing his shoes and loosening his tie, unbuttoning the top of his shirt in the process.

The loft is quiet, the television is off. Sakura isn't in the kitchen where she normally is when he gets off work making them dinner while dancing around in her socks to whatever music she had playing that day. The open floor plan allowed him to watch and observe her in those moments when he walked through the door because even though Sakura couldn't dance to save her life it wasn't going to stop her from letting the music guide her moves. He loved to watch the way her cheeks would color when she finally noticed him there.

He finds this odd because it was their routine. He would go to work at his family business, the usual eight-hour shift sometimes he'd stay later and Sakura would work a six-hour shift at the children's clinic and be home around three. He would always come home to music blasting from the speakers, so the loft being this quiet was suspicious at best.

"Babe?" he calls out a bit louder walking further into their home, setting down his keys in the crystal bowl sitting on the table along the wall. He removes his suit jacket folding it and places it on the back of the sofa.

"I'm in the bedroom!" he hears faintly from down the hall the worry that was once etched on his face is now gone, replaced with relief. Walking down the hall he sees the door to their bedroom is partly open and pushes it the rest of the way when he enters.

There is a loud pop that has him stopping abruptly, confetti raining down on the floor and all over the bed.

"Surprise!"

There are balloons of various different colors all about the room, on the floor and some on the bed where Sakura is currently sitting. Sasuke is confused for a second because he knows that it's not his birthday and it wouldn't be for months. Neither is it hers because it already passed. It's then that he sees the banner, hanging behind Sakura on the wall in big bold shiny silver letters "Welcome home Daddy!"

Sasuke is beyond shocked. He's completely frozen in place, the words that he wants to speak aren't forming and he's pretty sure he's also stopped breathing. It's like his entire body was short circuiting and couldn't do anything about it. His eyes are stuck reading those three words over and over again because he just can't grasp it.

"Welcome home Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

There are so many thoughts and emotions that are coursing through him and he can't process it all. He finally removes his eyes from the banner and looks at Sakura for confirmation and she has the biggest smile on her face.

Finally, he finds his voice though it's only just a whisper, "Are you…are you serious?" walking to the foot of the bed.

Sakura just nods her head rapidly and extends her arm out showing him the ultrasound. With shaking hands he gently takes it out of her hand and it's all black and white and grainy but he is still able to make out what's going to be his little baby, their little baby. It's no bigger than a jelly bean right now but it doesn't stop his eyes from misting over.

He turns his back to her and brings his hand up to cover his eyes wiping away the tears. His shoulders start to shake like he's holding back and trying not to cry but it's not tears that he's trying to stop. It starts off quietly and then gets louder until he can't stop the laughter from bubbling up anymore. When he finally turns back around to face Sakura his smile is just as blinding as the one she has.

"I'm gonna be a dad!?" he says, voice full of shock mixed with disbelief and looks back down to the ultrasound again like he's trying to make sure it's really what he's seeing. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Sasuke couldn't fathom the immense amount of joy he felt.

"You're gonna be a dad!" Sakura says jumping up from her seated position to join him on the floor.

"Holy shit." He says removing his eyes from the ultrasound looking up at her "Babe, holy shit." He wraps his arms around her picking her up to spin her around. Sakura locks her legs behind him laughing because she's so happy in this moment.

Sasuke moves his hands under her thighs to be able to hold her up better and he smiles up at her because this is the best news he has ever received. Sakura cups his face and plants a kiss on his lips that lingers for several seconds.

When she pulls away Sasuke is breathless, "We're gonna be parents." He whispers in amazement and plants another kiss on her lips.

"Hell yeah we are!"

They stay standing in the middle of their bedroom just basking in their shared happiness, both of them radiating their excitement for their new addition. Sasuke was never a person to smile as wide as he was then, always so serious in any and all situations but to find out that he was going to be a father to a tiny human that both he and Sakura created.

Words couldn't describe how he felt.

He moves one arm from under her and moves it to cup her face and Sakura tightens her arms around his broad shoulders. When he looks into her eyes they're full of warmth and happiness and he knows that his eyes reflect the same emotions.

"I love you so fucking much babe."
