I don't own Naruto or any of the people other then the babies!

Chapter 8: One more time

It had taken forever to get Sakura to get some rest. Tsunade had come to try to stabilize Sanosuke. That was hours ago. It had only taken the mighty 5th a half hour to stabilize the small boy and only after she did that did Sakura agree to at least some rest.

Itachi looked around the waiting room again, looking for the women who saved his only son and his first-born. When she came out of the Intensive Care Unit, he got up and walked over to her.

Blood red eyes met deep brown ones. "How is he?" Itachi asked after a moment. Not even he could take it any more. He wanted to know what was going on with his son. It hardly mattered to him that he was his prodigy; he cared more about his son's life then the bloodline right now.

Tsunade sighed. "Sanosuke will be fine. I was able to heal the bones in his neck. He'll be stiff for a few months but he should be fine. I'm more worried about Sakura at the moment."

"Sakura? She's fine. I wouldn't let anything happen to her and you know that." Itachi replied, startled by the fact that the Hokage was more worried about his wife then his son, who had just broken his neck.

"Yes, but that wasn't the case when you were first married, now was it? The only thing that you cared about was whether or not Sakura could carry your child! You only wanted a son! But guess what! You got a girl too!" The Hokage nearly yelled out. She had been bottling up her feelings about this for years, but no more!

"That's right. I got a baby girl as well. I've changed. Hokage-sama, I've changed. I care for my family and I don't want any harm to come to them. Sasuke doesn't even count me as a brother, so neither do I. Going back to the Hidden Leaf would be best for them, thus, I am willing to take whatever punishment you give me to allow them that happiness." Itachi verbally fought back. Tsunade was shocked at his words. He was willing to be punished just so they could have a chance at happiness?

"You really have changed. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to see Sakura to see if she's well. Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well." With that said, the mighty women Hokage woke Sakura up and took her into another room.

"Sakura, how have you been doing?" Tsunade asked the pink haired girl, err… women before her. Sakura looked up at her with two sleepy eyes but smiled nonetheless.

"I'm fine and I know what you're going to ask me. Itachi hasn't touched me… violently at least. I do love him and I know he loves the children and myself as well. Nothing can or will change that, Hokage-sama." Sakura told her. It was then that the Hokage noticed it.

Sakura was pregnant again.

Itachi was holding his little girl, Kohana, in his arms when Sakura and the 5th came back into the room. Sakura smiled at the both of them and walked over to hug her baby girl and to kiss her husband on the cheek. The Hokage smiled at Kohana but not at himself. She glared at him.

"I will allow you back into Konoha, but heed this, Itachi; this is your last chance. Three strikes and your out. I'm only doing this for Sakura and your three children. Not for you. You will also have to do labor around the village." The Hokage made herself clear while she glared into Itachi's red eyes.

"What do you mean three children? We only have two…unless- Sakura! You're pregnant?" Itachi asked while turning to his wife. Sakura smiled and nodded her head. Kohana giggled as she thought of having a new baby sister, or brother for that matter.

A doctor rushed into the room and yelled some medical lingo to the Hokage. Itachi didn't understand very much of it but Sakura understood all of it. She had trained under the 5th after all.

Sanosuke had woken up but he was in a lot of pain. Sakura turned to Itachi and told him just that. They ran into the room that their son was in to see him almost rolling around in pain. It seemed that even breathing was hurting him. Tsunade was already in the room trying to ease the boy's pain. He was so young and to be hurt by his own father. No! She had to stop herself from thinking ill of Itachi.

(a few hours later)

Sakura was once again asleep but this time it was by her son's bed and Kohana was sleeping in her arms. Itachi watched it all with his red eyes. He had killed so many people, even his own mother and father. He had no idea that being a good father was this hard. Itachi let out a snort as he thought back to his own father.

The man had been a dick to not only him, but to his mother and brother as well. Not to mention everyone else in the village. He always wanted him to do that best and be the best. To become Hokage and show the there bloodline was the best. He was no more then a wimp on the inside and couldn't even fight back. He had no regrets about killing him. He didn't feel sorry for killing his mother.

She had given birth to him and tried her best to make sure that he was always happy. She had been kind to Sasuke too. And everyone else. A good person in other words.
