Yuki sighed and got up tiredly as she began putting her daughter's clothes away, again. She was tired, she spent the first half of her morning getting Kisa ready for school, arguing with Kisa that she'll wear what Yuki had chose for her. They agreed tomorrow, (which wasn't a school day) that Kisa would wear what she wants. While Kisa was in school, Yuki spent some time talking with the maids to see if they need anything, five minutes calling Itachi to growl at him for not calling but only getting his voicemail. Then she spent some time exercising to keep her figure. She spent the rest of the morning till Kisa got off from school, planning a dinner party Itachi told her he wanted before he left to Japan.
After Yuki picked up Kisa from school, Itachi's mother called to talk with Kisa, who began telling her stories about the boy named Tim, speaking in perfect Japanese only mixing a few English words if she couldn't pronounce the words or didn't know the word in Japanese. She then asked where her father was; breaking Yuki's heart, at the same time Yuki wanting to do the same to Itachi's neck.
Kisa then handed the phone to Yuki, it was her turn to talk with "Aunt Mikoto" as Kisa was told to call her. Mikoto told Yuki that she wanted to see pictures of Kisa in her Halloween costume, and to say that she did in fact get the pictures that Yuki had sent with Itachi. Yuki asked where was Itachi and Mikoto answered the same she didn't know and she'll have a talk with her son if he didn't call soon. Yuki thanked her and they said their good-byes.
She picked up the small mess Kisa had made and scolded her daughter for not picking up her toys. Just about to relax her sister called and asked if Kisa, would like to play at the park with the boys, who were thirteen but were all too happy to play if Kisa was involved. After the park Kisa got hungry causing Yuki to take her daughter to McDonalds ordering the big kids meal; cheese burger, small fires, and chocolate milk. Kisa ate it happily leaving only half the burger and a few French fries. She didn't want to eat everything because she was going to get 'trick or treat' candy tonight because tonight was Halloween, but she kept the bucket and the Small toy inside it. Yuki didn't argue it was the most her daughter ate this week, she did finish the milk though and that was because she wanted grow big like her dad and be a big girl like her mom.
After McDonald's trip Yuki went shopping for the supplies the maids told her they needed. Kisa began telling Yuki knock, knock jokes that she learned at school. She failed to grasp the notion that when telling a knock, knock joke it was normal to wait till the other party answered. Kisa started to laugh when she finished answering another one of her knock jokes. When that got old Kisa began asking Yuki questions, some questions Yuki couldn't answers, others were just learning a new word whether, French, English or Japanese. Yuki scolded her daughter for using the word "grody" and saying it wasn't a word. Kisa couldn't pronounce the word costume in proper English so she asked what the word meant in Japanese and started mixing her English and Japanese again. She began nodding to sleep when the trip was coming to a close finish. Yuki picked her up and lovingly carried her back home.
Itachi stood at the door holding their daughter frowning, "The dress is too short,"
Yuki sighed, "The dress is fine. I more worried if she is going to stay warm," Yuki knew New York's weather, it always got below freezing.[2], "Kisa, you have to wear your coat before you leave," Yuki said placing a hand on her daughter's thigh.
"I don't want to," Kisa said hugging her dad.
"You're going to," Itachi growled, ending the argument.
"Mommy, you still have to put on my make-up and we still have to go pupk'n shopping," Kisa looked wide eye at her mother and father. How could they get forget pupk'n shopping?
"It's pumpkin and yes we will do it after dinner," Yuki grabbed a lock of Kisa's hair and sighed. Kisa needed a shower but Yuki will push to later tonight. Kisa still had to go "pupk'n shopping," then there was still trick or treating. If she gave Kisa a shower now her daughter might catch a cold, let alone the time at pumpkin patch will make give Kisa a shower a waste of time.
"We're have pork chops right," Kisa asked excitedly. Yuki nodded.
"With apple sauce, right?" Kisa asked.
"From Mrs. Brown son's farm," Yuki told her daughter moving a lock of her hair placing it behind her daughter's ears. Mrs. Brown was an old maid, Itachi had when Yuki was first married, and she adored Kisa spoiling the girl with food every second she got. The funny thing was Kisa ate the food Mrs. Brown gave her, seeing how Kisa never really ate.
Kisa hugged her dad tightly, "To eat dinner," She told her dad with a very serious face. Yuki turned around and tried to finish up the mess in Kisa's room. The room tilted a little, she shook her head as soon as a sharp pain interrupted through her side. She clutched on to her stomach. A strong arm snaked around her waist keeping her balance.
"You have to eat," Itachi told her. The six months of her lying lifeless in the hospital came to mind. He didn't want to go through those six months again. Her body still wasn't in perfect health after Kisa's birth, still weak.
"Mommy," Kisa reached for her mom. Yuki gladly took her daughter as Kisa wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and clung tighter. She had no idea what was going on but she could sense distress from her mother, Yuki held on to her tightly. The most important thing in the world to her was this little girl right here, "Mommy, I'm hungry," Kisa put her hand on her rumbling tummy.
Yuki smiled when someone knocked on Kisa's door, "Hey un,"
"Uncle Deidara," Kisa said, wiggling once again out her mother's arm running to the man dressed up as Dracula. Itachi and Yuki looked at Deidara and shook their head.
Yuki thinking, "How cute,"
Itachi thinking, "Nuisances,"
"Uncle Deidara, we are about to have pork-chops with apple sauce. Want to join?" Kisa asked, holding Deidara's hand and blushing, she always thought Deidara was cute.
"It's 'would you like to join us for dinner Deidara'," Yuki said correcting her daughter's speech.
"I would love to join un," Deidara said grabbing Kisa and holding her up.
"What are you supposed to be?" Itachi asked mockingly as he walked out of Kisa's room, Yuki following behind.
"Dracula un. Can't you tell or are you going blind, Uchiha?" Deidara said mockingly hitting, Itachi's weak spot. Itachi glared at Deidara, wanting to hit the man, but the man was holding his daughter. Who was telling Knock, Knock jokes and answering them herself.
Yuki put a hand on Itachi's arm, and led him to the dining room. Where four plates where already set up. Kisa said she was sitting next to Uncle Deidara. Deidara told Kisa to call him big brother because he wasn't that old, but Yuki told her daughter to keep calling him Uncle Deidara because he was old. Much to Deidara's dissatisfaction.
Yuki sat next to Itachi and Kisa sat next to Deidara. She once again repeated her day to her uncle. Yuki and Itachi ate quietly. Itachi was about to tell his daughter that she should eat more of her food but Yuki stopped him, telling him Kisa was at least eating. Kisa ate one forth of her grilled pork chop and a lot of her apple sauce and one or two bites of her green beans but she ate more because her father told her so. Yuki was disappointed with herself for eating more then what she normally ate, but that was because she was hungry. The males both ate a decent amount. There was no dessert this time because Kisa was going 'trick or treating' and will have her dessert through that.
Deidara flirted with Yuki a little just to get under Itachi's skin. It worked the men spent time arguing over trivial things giving Yuki enough time to take her daughter away, before the guys began cussing at one another.
"Mommy, we are going pum'kin shopping?" Kisa asked.
"Yes," Yuki grabbed her daughter's coat, and placed it on the small girl, buttoning up the coat.
"I'm taking her Pumpkin shopping," Itachi told his wife, he was already wearing his coat, "and Deidara will be tagging along too," Itachi didn't trust Deidara alone with Yuki.
"Stop," Kisa said. She ran to her room leaving the three questionable adults, wondering what she was up to.
Yuki told Itachi that if he cursed or smoked in front of her daughter, she will have his head. She gave the same warning to Deidara as well. She then told Itachi that he had to take lots of pictures of Kisa.
Kisa came back running with a pair of cat ears, "Daddy wear this," Yuki stifled back a laugh as Itachi glared at the pair of cat ears, stepping back his daughter was joking right?
Deidara unlike Yuki was laughing at the thought of the great Uchiha in a pair of cat ears. Now he was glad, he came. He grabbed the Camera from Yuki's hand.
"Oi Uchiha don't be afraid put it on," Deidara said. Itachi glared at him, before going down to Kisa's level, "Wouldn't the ears look good on your mother?" Itachi questioned. Yuki had her back turned as she was going threw her coat pocket looking for something but she glared at him through the corner of her eyes.
"No," Kisa protested, "Deidara is wearing an Isho, why can't daddy?"
Itachi gave up as Kisa put the ears on his head, "You are my Neko-kitty, Nya, Nya," she meowed like a Japanese cat. Yuki sighed as she dug out Kisa's gloves from her coat and put them on her daughter's hand. Deidara flashed the camera in Itachi's direction and Kisa seemed too preoccupied with fight then to argue with her mother about the need of gloves or not.
She looked at her mom and smiled, "They're funny," Itachi ripped the camera out Deidara's hand. Yuki hugged her daughter in a loving fashion. Itachi quickly took a picture of two most important things in his life.
Deidara smirked who would have expected the great Uchiha Itachi, to now be a family man. A man that would put a meeting on hold because his daughter had a dance recital going on, or his wife needed help with something at the moment. He didn't do it often because his family needs food on the table, but he still did it.
"Take a lot of pictures," Yuki told her husband, "Your mother wants pictures of Kisa," She looked at Kisa, "Listen to your father," she warned. Yuki knew Kisa would listen to Itachi a lot better then she listened to her, but Yuki knew how to handle Kisa a lot better than Itachi.
"We'll be back with really big pupk'n" Kisa held her hands up to show how big the pumpkin will be. Yuki frowned, she really didn't want I big pumpkin in the house, "Be good," Yuki hugged her daughter once more kissing her daughter's temple. Kisa smiled at her mom and hugged her back, before running to her dad. Itachi held her up and walked out the door.
"We'll be back before eight." Yuki normally she had her daughter in bed around eight but it was Halloween, she would be lucky to have her daughter in bed around nine.
"Alright, bring back something small," Yuki told her husband. He nodded and left Deidara following right behind him.
