Ah, it's so nice to see positive reception, got two flamers for the story but one of them was too cowardly to get off anon so I guess they don't count do they? Still, I may not like the non-anon flame, but I do find it kind of astounding in a way that they didn't hide behind the anonymity, that's literally the only thing I respect about them. :)
Now through the reviews I have decided that the other children will be brought in, however it will be done at different points and will be very sparse.
This story isn't really made to be a story- meaning unfortunately no one will be able to know what exactly had destroyed one of the universes that Naruto and Sakura resided in- though I headcanon their destruction having brought about by a NaruSaku Lover simply deleting the universe(fic) they had made for them because they were bullied until they just didn't want to be around anymore.
It's happened in this accursed fandom, so I'm going with that as a way to say their characters will still live on even if the story was taken down- this is merely a Slice of Life Family drabble series of Shinachiku growing up with two older half-sisters and an older half-brother with his real parents being apart from each other, married to other people without any cheating plot involved. I do not plan to get pairings involved but seeing as I'm a diehard shipper there might be some mentions of Anti and only a few of the pairings I love will become a part of the universe through their children appearing.
I'm writing this story because I want to. If you like it, great, if not, then I don't really understand why you're here.
Sakura Haruno-Uchiha sat in a lab, fidgeting nervously as she glanced over to see her daughter holding onto the tiny blond as she looked into a microscope before holding up the confused baby to look into it as well, gushing to the little one about what was under the magnifying lens.
Sakura never really saw her daughter as one that would want another sibling, she had never really mentioned it but she had taken to Shinachiku like a fish to water, carrying him around and helping in feeding him and taking care of him in the small allotment of time that he was around.
The door opened and Sakura jolted to a standing position as she looked to Shizune.
" Well?"
Shizune looked from her to the green-eyed boy, quiet before looking to Sakura as she held up the papers for her to look at.
" He's your son. I suspect if we took Naruto-kun's blood as well it would prove a direct match as well. Sakura, are you sure...?"
" I told you exactly what happened Shizune-NeeChan, Sarada found him in a box behind the house with a letter saying he was the son of Naruto and I.
I was never pregnant after Sarada, I would never betray Sasuke-kun like that, and I tested for genjutsu, there's nothing on him... I just wanted confirmation from you."
Shizune was quiet for a moment before she nodded, " So... Will you tell Naruto?"
Sakura immediately shook her head, " He's too busy as it is, he barely spends time with the children he has, working so much, why throw another child at him? Not to mention Hinata would be devastated, she already doesn't like it when Naruto and I spend time together, it's just... too much for everyone else to deal with."
" And you think you can handle him yourself? You're already in debt since you destroyed your last house Sakura!" Shizune scolded the younger woman.
Sakura looked to the ground in shame at how she had exploded on her daughter and destroyed the house they had not even paid off.
She had just been so upset at her daughter questioning the validity of her marriage with Sasuke... Mostly because she felt the same way at the time.
Sarada going out and looking for him... what if she hadn't gone to look for him? Would he have just continued to never show up?
She shook her head and smacked her cheeks, looking to her daughter.
Her marriage was valid, they had Sarada after all.
Her eyes then drifted to the little one happily giggling in the young girls arms, biting her lip in thought as to how she would fulfill the wishes of her other self.
She wasn't going to ignore the dying wishes of herself, if it had been the other way, she would have prayed that the other Sakura would have listened to her and taken good care of Sarada in her stead.
Well all she could do now was take extra shifts at the hospital and hoped they paid the bills.
She would stay around Shinachiku, but she had to make sure that they had the money to care for him, otherwise she would have to go to Naruto and not only explain why but... wow when was the last time she had properly talked to him?
The prospect was too intimidating before she was knocked out of her thoughts by a babbling tiny hands taking her pink locks as she blinked to see her eyes staring back at her, looking back to Sarada whom was extending him out to her as the green-eyed woman took the small boy.
" Gotta go to the bathroom Mama, take care of Shina-Chan for me~" Something told Sakura Sarada might have been lying just so Sakura would show the little blond some attention and bond with him, but she took him anyways and placed him on her hip as she watched him lightly tug at her hair and babble to her as if demanding all of her attention with something almost critically important, attention she willingly gave as every little second her eyes were on him she couldn't help but fall a little more in love with the boy that was hers.
