To say he was worried was an understatement of the year. He did not have the time or luxury to worry about anything. His life was built upon power, wealth, hate, and revenge. And although he was viewed as a man of cruelty and power he was actually a lost little boy trapped in a body of a grown man.
He had once sought advice from his petite wife. He didn't like the feeling of helplessness and had pushed aside his pride to ask her as she had silently gazed at him with a loving and understanding look.
He never worried about her safety. He was afraid.
The chance of his beautiful wife dying by his older brother's hands was impossible and he knew there was a bigger chance of her leaving with the children out the front door and out of his life.
So why was it that he still felt his chest inwardly collapse painfully every time he thought about his growing little family?
If his older brother ever came across the growing family of his what would he think? Would he think it pathetic of him to start a family to try to rebuild the Uchiha clan? And would he take everyone he loves away from him like he did when he was just a mere child?
He did not know if it would ever happen, (because he knew that nightmare would never come back to haunt him) but he made sure just in case if Itachi ever did come back (from the dead) to destroy what he had left in the world he would be ready to defend his family.
He never worried about his growing children (even though he noticed that the older ones ignoring him and seeking their mother instead and even if the younger ones cowered when his presence was known). He was afraid for them.
Yet each time he watched his children fret and bicker amongst each other he knew deep down they were all safe under his roof as his petit wife hummed and cooked with a young child cooing on her hip.
