Chapter Five: The Birthday Party
"Uncle Sasuke!" A blonde haired blue-eyed little boy hollered as he came racing towards him with his arms wide open. Sasuke chuckled as he squatted down in front of him and embraced him tightly.
"Hello Boruto." He began with a grin while he hoisted him up inside his arms and then planted a kiss on his cheek. "How's my favorite nephew?" he inquired.
"Real good." He began. "I'm gonna be a big bwother." He told him as Naruto started walking over towards them.
"Oh, is that so?" Sasuke questioned him.
"Yep, Hinata's pretty much made the announcement public now." Naruto told him while Boruto turned his head over to look at him.
"Uh oh, Daddy I had an accident." Boruto said as Naruto heaved a heavy sigh.
"Again?" he questioned before he turned over to look back over his shoulder at Hinata. "Hey honey you brought some extra underwear for Boruto right?" he asked her as Sasuke chuckled.
"It sounds like Boruto is still in the diapers stage." He told him. "Besides, boys are harder to potty train than girls anyways and you have another baby on the way so you're going to be changing diapers either way." He pointed out.
"I know but the kid is three years old already and just started nursery school. He should be potty trained by now." He said while heaving a sigh as Kakashi walked up behind him.
"Ami isn't fully potty trained yet. She still wears pullups at night and she's almost five." He pointed out.
"Well, bed wetting is a common problem for children even after they're potty trained." Sakura pointed out as Sasuke quickly glanced over at Naruto.
"Naruto still wets the bed." He said while he simply just placed his hands upon his hips and scowled at him.
"Hey! I do not!" he protested as Sasuke laughed and poked him in the forehead.
"Relax, I'm just joking around with you." He began. "Anyways, here's your son." He told him before handing Boruto over to him. "Where's Sasame?" he asked Sakura as he turned around to face her.
"I think that she's in her bedroom playing." She told him.
"Well tell her it's time to get ready to go." He said.
"Go where? I thought that we here for her birthday party." Konohamaru said.
"We are, but first we're going to go get our pictures taken and then go to Chuck E Cheese's afterwards." Kizashi told him.
"Chuck E Cheese, aren't we a bit too old for that?" Konohamaru wondered before Keiko slapped him a crossed the head.
"Ouch what was that for!?" he cried while rubbing his head.
"It's not for us Baka it's for the little kids!" she exclaimed.
"Right. I knew that." He lied while she simply just rolled her eyes at him.
"Give me a break." She muttered underneath her breath as Kizashi chuckled.
"Remind me again why you two decided to start dating?" he said questioningly.
"I don't know that's a really good question since all we do is fight." Keiko said.
"Oh come on toots, that isn't all we do." He pointed out.
"No, but it's pretty darn close." She told him.
"Oh come on, just admit that you love each other and be done with it." Kizashi said with a sly grin before he followed them out the front door as Keiko started shaking her head.
….
Sasuke couldn't believe how exhausted he was after they returned to the house so Sasame could open her presents. He collapsed down on top of the couch next to Sakura. "You know, I realize that we were only really in charge of three preschoolers, but it seemed like three billion to me." he told her with a groan as he rubbed his eyes. "It was basically like Hell on earth." He added as Sakura giggled.
"Oh come on Sasuke, it couldn't have been that bad." She told him before all of a sudden she started looking around. "Wait a minute, where is Konohamaru and Keiko?" she questioned him.
"I bet they're fighting again." Naruto began. "Konohamaru was sort of embarrassing her with his horrible table manners." He pointed out as Sasuke slowly turned his head over to look at him.
"At least now you know how I feel." He told him when suddenly the unhappy couple stormed through the front door.
"Keiko wait a second!" Konohamaru cried but that's when suddenly she slammed the front door in his face.
"That's it! I've had it!" she hollered angrily. "I don't even know why the hell we got together in the first place!" she snapped.
"Keiko, don't you think that you're being a little bit hasty?" Sasuke questioned her.
"No! I've given him way too many chances already! He drives me absolutely freaking crazy!" she hollered. Although she didn't say freaking and that's when all of a sudden the room grew quiet and everybody except the little kids turned to look at her, and to her complete and utter horror, her mother had just come out of the bathroom and was now standing right behind her.
"Keiko Haruno!" she yelled angrily and automatically Keiko knew that she was in trouble.
"Uh oh, busted." Naruto said while sucking in his cheeks.
"Naruto, stay out of this it's between my mother and little sister." Sakura told him.
"Give me your phone young lady!" her mother snapped as Keiko's eyes turned light blue before she slowly reached into her pocket and gave her mom her phone. "I don't want to hear language like that coming out of your mouth again, is that understood?" she questioned her as Keiko sheepishly hung her head.
"Yes Mother." She replied before she turned around and started walking out the door. Sasuke heaved a light sigh as he watched her for he was starting to have flashbacks when Sachi had tried to run away from her problems as well and how he had almost lost her forever. He decided right then and there that he wouldn't let the same thing happen to Keiko. He was going to find out what was really going on and stop her from making the same big mistake before it was too late.
