Author's Note: Fluff and stuff!
Also, I've been getting a lot of Comments that I should have implemented SasuHina instead of what I am actually planning (Had to delete a couple because of how avid one person was in sending me multiple comments that said the same thing).
It's fine if you feel that way, but personally I have been eager to put out the other pairings that I have planned instead, and I'm not deviating from it.
I would enjoy seeing such a world where the SasuHina children drop in on canon though, I still adore SasuHina after all, so if you guys decide to write that I would sincerely love to see it and please tell me the title so I can look at it!
I hope you all can understand and still enjoy this content!
The next day Sarada awoke on the Uzumaki sofa, wrapped up in a blanket with Sakura on a tatami mat on the floor, the adults likely having taken the sleeping children to their rooms and set Sarada up in the blankets while she was still asleep.
Realizing this she turned over onto her stomach and looked down beside her mother to see Shinachiku on his back as his beautiful jade green eyes looked to her, curious and wide awake while everyone else still seemed to be sleeping.
The little Uchiha could practically have hearts around her as she reached down and tickled his belly, the little one squirming as he gave off an adorable laugh, Sarada giving a small laugh before retracting her hand and wiggling her fingers.
" Morning Shina-Chan." She murmured warmly before getting up, still in her previous day's clothes as she sighed and stood, crouching to swoop up her little baby brother, " Getting heavy are we little man?"
The baby in her arms merely looked to her with a beautiful smile that made her squeal internally, " Well... You are growing up. Just don't become as annoying as Boruto okay?"
Shinachiku continued smiling to her, clueless as she shook his tiny hand, " It's a deal then."
She took him to get him changed, taking him to the kitchen.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
" Hmm, I guess I can mush up some stuff for you, I doubt they still have baby food from when Himawari-Chan was your age, and even if they did I doubt it would be any good..." She opened the fridge and looked around in it before fishing out Sweet Potatoes.
" This should do the trick!"
It was only when she was standing there with the bag did she realize that she had no hands to cook with.
" Agh... Must be more tired then I thought. Well, I'm not setting him down..." She felt a pang of frustration knowing her little blond brother was now going to be doted over by others than her and her mother. It was the one problem she had with revealing Shinachiku, almost knowing that others would love him and would want to hold him and play with him when they had their own extended family- yes she was side-eyeing his other siblings with that note.
It was then she realized that her mother should still have the sling that she brought Shina-Chan to the Seventh with, looking around and soon wrapping it around herself and snuggly around Shinachiku, securing him before washing off the Sweet Potatoes, peeling them as Shinachiku gabbed at her, Sarada taking a page out of Naruto's book, nodding and going 'Uh Huh' and 'Wow Really?'
It really seemed to fire the green-eyed baby up to a high extent, causing him to gab at her with the utmost conviction, the Uchiha girl giggling while she put the Potatoes into the pot before she hearing a person walking in.
Sarada looked behind her and saw Hinata standing there, freezing like a statue as she watched the Uzumaki woman before turning and bowing.
" Hinata-San..." She fiddled with the knife a little, brushing off a piece of Sweet Potato skin as she flushed almost in shame, " Why are you up?"
" Good Morning Sarada-Chan. You see, I have been an early riser all of my life, the only person that rises early here other than me sometimes is Himawari. I usually take this time to make breakfast."
Sarada nodded as that made sense, her mother being one to sleep till noon if she could get away with it while Boruto has been late to team meetings at least twice from his own habits while Hinata always seemed always awake and alert whenever she wasn't knocked unconscious, " Makes sense, uh..." She looked to the bubbling pot of Sweet Potatoes, " I thought it would be okay to use food for Shinachiku-"
" You have no need to explain yourself Sarada-Chan." Hinata gave her a small smile, " A growing boy needs to eat after all."
She then pressed her fingers together, " Would you help me with making Breakfast?"
The spectacled girl looked to her little brother before back up and nodding, " Sure."
" Wonderful." Hinata took an apron off the hook, a white apron that looked absolutely flawless as she slipped it on, tying it back with a big fluffy bow as she walked to her, " If you don't want to set Shina-Chan down you can help me measure and cut a few things."
The mention of not having to leave him brightened up Sarada as she nodded, " Okay!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sakura woke up to a cold Tatami, sitting up to the smell of food as her eyes were heavy, rubbing at them as she stretched and yawned, pulling herself up with the sofa and making her way to the kitchen as she heard trilling sounds as her daughter was feeding her son from another world with something mashed to suit his diet, looking to see Hinata standing at the stove as she worked hard at frying up fish, the rice cooker going on overdrive for the two, almost three more people in the house considering it usually worked for only three people, maybe four on the rare occasion.
" Morning Hinata." Sakura smiled to her friend as she leaned against the doorway, running a hand through her messy hair.
" Morning Sakura." Hinata smiled back as she lifted a well-cooked fish onto a plate to be gently pat dry of the oil.
" Need any help?"
" Ah, yes could you please set up the table? And do you want water, tea, coffee-"
" Coffee. Please."
The Uzumaki nodded and went about home brewing a cup for her friend, tea for herself.
" Sugar? Cream?"
" Both please." Sakura went to the cupboards and loaded up on the dishes, setting out on the table and petting Sarada's head before petting Shinachiku as well, running her hand through his short blond hair, making another round with the silverware before finally pulling out the chair beside Sarada, glancing to her friend through the cap in the wall to let those in the dining room look at the one inside the kitchen as she diligently worked on breakfast for the whole of everyone.
She had to wonder that if there was going to be children from another world who else Hinata would have married.
If the marriage was one of love or not, taking into account her friend was from the very traditional Hyuuga Clan.
She hoped that in another world Hinata had been happy, and that if a child was coming that she would like and accept them.
It got her wondering who Sasuke would have ended up with if he had ended up with anyone.
Sighing, she pressed a hand to her head, the wonderful scent of coffee filling her nose as Hinata went and set the cup in front of her, the pinkette removing her hand and looking to her friend.
" Thank you Hinata..."
" Of course." She smiled without any teeth to the ex-Haruno, her eyes closing before she turned to go back to the food, Sakura curling her fingers around the cup.
" Hinata."
" Yes?" She stepped into the kitchen and before the stove, checking another fish before pulling it out, calm and swift movements that either somehow avoided grease splashes or ignored them when they did happen.
" What would you do if a child of your own shows up?"
Hinata froze for a moment before looking to Sakura, there being an indescribable look on her face as the trilling sounds from Sarada had stopped, the Uchiha child looking to her mother in bewilderment as Shinachiku whined for more food, not done with the cup of Sweet Potatoes.
The look disappeared and Hinata sighed, " I... I do not know. How... did you feel initially when Shinachiku showed up?"
" I didn't believe it until there were testings and even then I was unsure of what I would do for a little while. I'm glad I accepted him." She confessed as she looked to Shinachiku, their matching green eyes clashing as they stared to one another before a slowly moving Sarada brought up another spoon, the little one delightedly focusing on that instead as he leaned forward for it, " I just suppose that I should be on the lookout for any of Sasuke's children. And yours."
" Thank you for being considerate about it Sakura." Hinata bowed her head before finishing with the cooking, " I'll wake up my children, please, stay here."
Sakura nodded before putting the coffee cup to her lips, tasting the stifled bitterness as Sarada looked to her, " Mama, what should we do if Papa has his own kid?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
There was a silence as the cup came right back down onto the table, probably with a little more force than was necessary, but the thought of Sasuke, someone she tried so hard to keep with her, having other kids in any sense was a little devastating to her as she beat down the questions of what her husband would be like in the other world.
" Depends on who's the Mama Sarada." Sakura answered finally, honest, " Because who knows how Sasuke would react."
" Can't we contact him about this?" Sarada asked, " He should also know about Shinachiku."
" Only Naruto can. I mentioned how he's the only one in contact with Sasuke, so all that idiot has to do is tell him."
" You still calling me an Idiot Sakura-Chan?" Naruto yawned as he stretched, yanking out his chair and rolling his neck to free it from the kinks of sleeping on the couch in his office.
" Well you may have grown up, but you're still an idiot to me." Sakura smirked a little to him.
" Heh, Nice to know I haven't changed that much." Naruto chuckled warmly as Himawari flounced in to her seat and Boruto trudged in, looking tussled up as he blinked blearily to everyone before taking a seat on the opposite side of Sarada and Shinachiku, the raven-haired girl looking to her teammate and clearing her throat to get his attention.
" After this we have to go training with Mitsuki and the others to prepare for the Chunin Exams in the future-"
" Don't worry Sarada we'll kick their asses." Boruto stabbed a fish on the platter set down in front of him.
" We still have to train either way, we have to be ready for anything." Sarada started eating as well while Shinachiku eyed the food on everyone's plate despite the minimal teeth he had at this point in time.
" Uh Huh, sure." Boruto rolled his eyes as Himawari stood with her blue eyes alight in sparkles.
" Can I take Shina-Chan then?!"
" Take?" Naruto chuckled as he swallowed the rice he had been eating, " No, I'll take him, but you can play with me and him together okay?"
" I get to spend time with Daddy too?!" Himawari gasped with utter excitement as her father merely nodded with a smile, the little girl practically on cloud nine as Sakura chuckled and shook her head, going to head to the office while Shinachiku was with his father and half-sister- and maybe ask for a more stable schedule there to take into account the new bundle of joy that literally popped out of nowhere, trusting Naruto to take care of the little one even if she called him an idiot sometimes, knowing him to be a capable and an adoring man for his children, there was no safer place in the world Shinachiku could be besides with her as they finished breakfast and Sakura pet Sarada and Shinachiku's heads, thanking Hinata and Naruto for letting her and Sarada stay there for a bit and saying goodbye to everyone as she headed out the door.
