Chapter 7: Captured…


Three days later, Serina was released from the hospital along with Akito. Itachi had gone home just yesterday but he was coming along with Sakura and Sasuke to pick up Serina and Akito. Serina walked out of the hospital doors with little Akito in her arms. She sat on a near by stone bench while she waited for the others to arrive. From a distance, Serina spotted Itachi, Sasuke, and Sakura. They also spotted her and Sakura ran ahead of the guys. Sasuke and Itachi walked at the same pace to the girls and Akito.

"Hello Serina, Akito!" Sakura exclaimed. Serina smiled warmly and offered for Sakura to hold Akito while she greeted her husband. Sakura took Akito out of Serina's arms and gently held the baby. Sasuke said a hello to Serina and she nodded back. He went towards Sakura and Akito.

"You sure love him don't you?" Sasuke said while crossing his arms.

"Of course, he is my first nephew and he is just the cutest little thing ever!" Sakura squealed. Sasuke sighed but then made a small smile when Sakura held up Akito right in front of his face. Akito was making bubbles with his mouth. Sakura giggled.

"Hey Serina." Itachi said. Serina raised her brow but then noticed how tired he looked.

"Hi Itachi, um, are you okay? You look kind of tired." Serina said. Itachi nodded. "I'll make you feel wide awake." Serina tip toed and pressed her lips against Itachi. He was a little shocked and then Serina broke the kiss. She giggled because his eyes were now wide and alert. Sasuke and Sakura just raised their eye brows at Serina and Itachi but shrugged it off.

"So, shall we go home?" Sakura said. Sasuke and Sakura would be living with Itachi and Serina for a few months to help with the baby, well mostly Sakura will help with the baby. The others nodded and they went home. After they got home, Serina and Sakura took the baby upstairs to his own room.

Akito's room had navy blue walls with Uchiha fans hanging on the ceiling and the Haruno symbol on his bed head and closet door. There were wooden floors also. He had a white crib and a queen sized bed in his room. There were plenty of toys for Akito and a changing table with all the accessories. Serina placed Akito in his crib but as soon as she let him go, he started to cry.

"WAAAHHHHHH!" Akito cried and cried. Serina picked him back up and looked at Sakura. Akito had stopped crying.

"Put down again in the crib." Sakura said. Serina did as told. After a minute, Akito was silent but then he started to cry again. Serina groaned. She picked him up once more and Akito became silent.

"Let's try this one more time." Serina placed Akito in the crib once more and thankfully he did not cry for 5 minutes so far.

"Thank god!" Serina and Sakura said. Akito then started to cry again and this time Sakura picked him up. Serina went to go sit down on the rocking chair in Akito's room. Sakura rocked Akito in her arms back and forth.

"Akito… wasn't that the name of…" Sakura started to say. "Dad? Yes." Serina said.

"Itachi and I named Akito after our dad Sakura. I wanted dad to be proud of us so I passed on his first name to my baby." Serina explained.

"Dad is proud of us, and I bet he and mom are dancing right now in heaven saying, 'We have a grandson!'." Sakura said. Serina and Sakura both smiled.

"I agree with you. But now if only mom will help me put this little boy to bed!" Serina took Akito out of Sakura's arms and gently placed him in the crib. The baby boy silently fell asleep and Serina and Sakura left the room quietly. As soon as Serina closed the room door, Akito woke up and started to cry again. Serina and Sakura groaned again and so they went in the room once more.

"WAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Akito screamed. Serina tried to calm him. Sakura tried to make funny faces to make him stop his crying.

"Nothing will put this baby to sleep!" Serina cried out. Sasuke and Itachi were wondering about the crying and screaming so they came into Akito's room to find Serina and Sakura trying to calm the baby. Both boys sighed.

"Here let me try." Itachi said. Serina was amazed that Itachi was willing to hold Akito but anyway she gave Akito to his daddy. Akito stopped his crying and stared at his father. Itachi stared back.

"You ladies obviously do not know how to put Uchihas to sleep." Sasuke said. Sakura and Serina glared at him.

"Oh yeah? And just how do you put an Uchiha to sleep?" Sakura said. Sasuke smirked. "Watch Itachi." Both Serina and Sakura looked at Itachi and he started to sing.

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine.

When Itachi ended the song, Akito had fallen asleep in his arms. Itachi gently placed the baby in his crib and the four walked quietly out of the room, not closing the door. When they got downstairs, Serina and Sakura didn't know what to say.

"How…did…you…make…him…fall asleep?" Serina and Sakura asked together. Sasuke and Itachi smirked.

"You saw how Itachi sang that song, right?" Sasuke asked and both girls nodded. "Well, that song makes all Uchiha babies fall asleep instantly." Sasuke said.

"And it's true because out mother use to sing that to us all the time." Itachi said and Sasuke nodded his head in agreement. The girls just said an okay but afterwards said that they wanted to learn the song. The boys sighed but agreed to teach it to them.

After about a half an hour later, the girls knew the whole song.

"Wow, that such a cute song!" Sakura exclaimed. Serina nodded in agreement.

"So Sasuke," Serina said. Sasuke turned to look at her. "When are we going to hear your singing voice?" Sasuke blushed a little but then shook his head.

"Hn, never in my life will I sing." He stated. Serina rolled her eyes and Sakura giggled.

"Wahhhh!" A cry was heard from upstairs. Everyone looked upstairs and said, "Akito."

"Well lets all go and see what's the matter now." Itachi said. Everyone else nodded and headed upstairs.


5 months later

"Why won't he stop crying!" Serina complained. "WAHHHH!" Akito was currently being a little bad boy, and he was refusing to take a nap.

"Doesn't the song work?" Sakura asked. "NO!" Serina answered.

"Shit, how can the song not work?" Sasuke asked. Itachi bonked him on the head. "OWW! What was that for!" Sasuke yelled and glared at his brother. "Don't curse in front of my son!" "Itachi's right Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said. Sasuke glared at her too.

"Fine, I'm going to watch t.v. come if you wanna." Sasuke left the room. Itachi followed him as did Sakura.

"Hey! Your just going to leave me here with a crying baby!" Serina yelled after them.

"WAHHH!" Akito cried louder.

"Yes!" Three voices called from down stairs. Serina huffed and sat in the rocking chair with Akito in her arms. Soon, she fell asleep and Akito's crying lessened.


Downstairs

"Itachi, you liar." Sakura said. Itachi raised a brow at her. "What did I lie about?"

"You said that that song could put any Uchiha baby to sleep and Akito is sleeping much!" Sakura yelled.

"Well how was I suppose to know it only worked once on him?" Itachi argued.

"Maybe you should take care of your child a little more than."

"What! Its not my fault! Serina barely lets me go anywhere near him!"

"Sure she does…" Sakura said sarcastically. Sasuke closed his eyes and massaged his temples.

"Shh! Do you hear that?" Sasuke asked. Sakura and Itachi looked at him. "It's very quiet upstairs now. Sakura, go see if Serina put Akito to sleep already?" Sasuke asked. He reopened his eyes and looked at her. Sakura nodded and went upstairs.

"Geez… you guys don't often fight like you did today." Sasuke said to his brother.

"Well, I was in an angry mood." Itachi replied. After 3 minutes, both boys heard a scream come from upstairs. They ran into Akito's bedroom.

"Sakura!" Sasuke called out. Sakura was on the floor, crying her eyes out.

"Serina! Akito!" Itachi yelled. There was no answer at all. Itachi looked at Sakura. "Sakura, where are they?" Sakura wiped her eyes and pointed to the wall. Sasuke and Itachi looked at the wall and became shocked, confused, angry, and one of those, because on the wall in blood, was the words:
