Chapter Three: Look Out For Mister Stork!
Sasame and Ami finished building their tower of blocks together. "Alright, it's done, can I knock it over now?" Ami wondered.
"Sure, go ahead." Sasame told her before she pushed the tower over.
"Sasame Uchiha and Ami Hatake both of your fathers are here." The teacher told them.
"Okay, hold on a second. I have to go potty first." Ami said before she turned around and quickly raced towards the girl's restroom while Sasuke walked over towards his daughter and smiled at her.
"Hey princess, how was school?" he asked her when all of a sudden her face lit up with excitement.
"It was great Papa!" she exclaimed. "We learned all about following directions and went on a treasure hunt." She told him.
"Hn." He began with a grin. "That does sound pretty exciting. Well come on, it's time to go home." He told her before he bent over and picked her up and then kissed her on the cheek while he carried her back outside and out to the car. Afterwards he quickly strapped her inside her booster seat.
"Wait Papa, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Ami." She told him.
"It's alright, you're going to see her later on at your party remember?" he reminded her.
"Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot." She told him while shut the backdoor and then got into the driver's seat before buckling himself up and pulling away from the curb.
"By the way, how would you like to be a big sister?" he questioned her with a sly grin as he looked back at her through the rearview mirror.
"I'd love it!" she cried.
"Well that's really good news because Mommy just called me a little while ago and she told me that she's going to have another baby. That means that you're going to have a little brother or sister." He explained while he stopped at the end of the parking lot and hit his turn signal.
"Cool." She replied before hitting him up with a question that he knew she would ask sooner or later. "Papa, where do babies come from?" she asked him.
"Uh,.." he began while feeling himself starting to sweat as he turned the corner and said the first thing that came to his mind. "From Heaven." He told her. "Don't you remember watching Dumbo? God creates the babies and then the stork delivers them." He explained.
"Well then how does he know which baby goes to which mommy and daddy?" she wondered.
"He has a list that tells him." He replied.
"Okay but then why do the mommies' bellies get so big?" she asked him while he suddenly put on his brakes again and stopped at a red light.
"Well honey,.." he began as he tried to think of an answer before his cellphone rang. "Oh, thank God." He said while breathing a sigh of relief and glancing up at the ceiling while he got it out of his pocket and answered it. "Hello?" he questioned.
"Hey big brother!" Keiko exclaimed excitedly as Sasuke smiled and hit the gas once the light turned green again.
"Ah hey Keiko, what's up?" he asked her.
"I just thought you should know that Konohamaru's cat just had kittens. He walked me home from school today." She told him as he grinned slyly.
"Oh he did did he?" he questioned her.
"Yep! And can you keep a secret?" she asked him.
"Of course." He assured her.
"Well,.. Konohamaru and I are dating now. He just asked me to go to the movies with him this Saturday. He just got his license." She told him.
"Oh,.. I see. Well congratulations Keiko and I sure hope that you have a good time." He told her.
"Thanks big brother and there's one more thing that I want to know." She began.
"Alright, sure, what's that?" he wondered.
"Well Konohamaru gave me a kitten and his name is Ninja. He gets along well with Titiana, and so he and I were just wondering if Sachi would like a kitten as well even though she already has Lucky." She explained when all of a sudden Sasuke hit the brakes again and stopped at the side of the road.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" he asked her.
"I said that Konohamaru wants to give a kitten to Sachi since she's one of his best friends and we were wondering if that would be alright with you." She told him.
"Gee honey I don't know,.. I've never been much of a cat person. And we already have a dog, a four year old, and a baby on the way." He told her before he heaved a light sigh. "Tell Konohamaru that I'll think about it." He said.
"Alright big brother I will." She told him.
"Okay well I have to go now so I'll see you in a little bit for Sasame's birthday party." He began. "That is, you're still planning to come right?"
"Of course! She is my niece after all." She told him. "Well I love you both very much and I'll see you then." She told him as Sasuke nodded to himself.
"Alright then, love you too." He told her before he hung up the phone and then hit the gas, pulled away from the side of the road and drove away.
Once Sasuke and Sasame got back home, Sasame hurried into the bathroom and Sasuke tossed his car keys up onto the counter before slowly walking towards Sakura. "Well, that was an interesting ride to say the least." He began.
"What do you mean?" she wondered.
"Well first of all our daughter asked me where babies came from." He replied.
"And what did you tell her?" she wondered.
"The truth of course." He told her with a sly grin.
"Sasuke!" Sakura scolded while slapping him a crossed the shoulder. "She isn't even in kindergarten yet!" she exclaimed.
"Relax, I'm just kidding." He told her as she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness." She began. "I was afraid that I would have to become a rouge ninja myself and kill you." She finished as Sasuke chuckled.
"Cherry there's not a single bad bone in your body. I know because I have the X-rays to prove it." He told her with a grin as she simply just rolled her eyes at him and the toilet flushed.
"So what else did you talk about?" she wondered.
"Well, Keiko called me and she told me that Konohamaru is offering us a k-i-t-t-e-n." he said and he just hoped and prayed that Sasame didn't hear him while she was washing her hands. Luckily for him she didn't, however just at that precise moment Sachi had come through the front door.
