Sweet Sensations
XxXxXxXx
Tears blurred her vision as Sakura was faced with the truth! The truth that Itachi had somehow regained his memories! Her heart did a flip in her chest as she squeezed his hand and began explaining everything...
"I found you one day and brought you back to Akatsuki with the help of Kisame."
"After that we found out that you had amnesia and could remember nothing..."
He turned his head away. Itachi knew that deep inside, everything that had happened hurt Sakura and made her cry... He promised long ago that he would never be the reason why she had cried!
Standing from the cold floor, Sakura let her small arms wrap around Itachi's middle form. He pulled her close to him as well and placed kisses along her neck and stopped at her jaw only to softly claim her lips.
Her hands were placed on her stomach and slowly he began to rub her stomach. He could feel a small kick coming from inside her stomach which made him smile into the kiss. Just to know that he would soon have a child made his heart leap...
Pulling away, Itachi interlaced his fingers with Sakura's and both exited the recovery room and walked towards their bedroom. Sakura laid down on the bed and Itachi soon followed after, her head on top his muscled chest until she slowly fell asleep...
"Aishiteru Itachi..." She whispered.
"Aishiteru Sakura-chan..." The eldest Uchiha said while watching her sleeping form.
He too soon found comfort in sleeping with the woman he longed for and closed his crimson eyes only to fall into a deep sleep, with the kunoichi only on his mind...

Chapter 22: Great First Son
XxXxXxXx
The crisp morning air floated into an open window of Itachi and Sakura's chambers where they continued to lay in bed together. Both their foreheads were pressed against each other and their fingers still entwined.
Their warm breaths lingered as the space between them got smaller and smaller, until finally Itachi decided to close the distance and gave the kunoichi a chaste kiss... Sakura wrapped her arms around Itachi's neck as she closed the space between their bodies and they were molded together perfectly...
Feeling the need to sleep vanishing, Sakura and Itachi sat up and left the bright room only to walk into the kitchen where Mayou and Deidara were having an argument about something. Though, both stopped their bickering when they spotted the two enter and sit down opposite from each other.
Mayou looked at Itachi and then at Sakura who seemed to be actually happy for once...
"Sakura-chan..." She said slowly.
Said woman turned her head in Mayou's direction and flashed her a bright smile as she said good morning to the Akatsuki member.
"Itachi?" Deidara started.
Looking at his fellow Akatsuki member, Itachi gave the man a smirk before setting his eyes on the pink haired woman who had currently received a cup of steaming tea from Mayou and began to drink it slowly, as not to burn her tongue.
"Okay! What the hell is going on!?!" Screamed Deidara while holding his head.
Both looked at the confused blonde and the equally confused blue haired Akatsuki member.
"Itachi recovered his memories..." Sakura stated while Itachi nodded his head.
Both members looked astonished and surprised as they approached the Uchiha and stared at his face, almost to see if they were lying.
"Are you serious Sakura-chan!?!" Mayou and Deidara said in monotone.
Giving out a laugh, Sakura stood from her seat as well as Itachi and nodded her head enthusiastically while thanking Mayou for the tea.
"No problem Sakura-chan..."
Both took their seats and once again they began to argue about random things. Though, Mayou was always the winner and Deidara always came out with a bruise or two...
XxXxXxXx
Pulled flush against Itachi's muscled chest, Sakura gripped his shoulders as she placed her face in the crook of his neck and breathed in his musky scent. Oh how she dreamt of this happening and now... finally it was!
I'm no longer alone...
Itachi splayed kisses on her head and then after her slender neck. Earning him small giggles from Sakura who wrapped her arms tightly around the Uchiha and held him so close to her...
In reality, I never really was alone...
"Sakura-chan... how long did I have amnesia for?" He asked out of the blue.
Looking away Sakura replied truthfully as she held back tears.
"To be honest... I lost count..."
Was I in that state for that long that Sakura-chan lost count!?!
She had to deal with half of the pregnancy alone...
Embracing the kunoichi, Itachi whispered endearments into her ear as he stroked her long pink tresses.
"I'll never leave you alone ever again." He said sternly.
"That's a promise..."
2 months later
"Itachi-kun!" Sakura called out.
No response.
Her brows drew together as she looked around the room and the rest of Akatsuki for any possible of the sharingan wielder. There was no sign of him anywhere! Spotting Mayou by the front doors, Sakura walked over to her and asked her about Itachi.
"Have you seen Itachi-kun?"
Placing a finger on her chin, Mayou began to rack her brain and began to remember very faintly of the events of the previous morning.
-
The sun had yet to come out and the sky was slowly but surely beginning to lighten up with each passing minute or so... The blue haired woman stalked tiredly out of her and Deidara's chambers as she felt the need to drink something.
Nearly dropping the glass currently in her hand, Mayou turned to face Itachi as he smirked at her messy hair and her tired eyes.
"Are you going somewhere?" Mayou asked as she noticed his Akatsuki attire on at a time like this...
He smirked again as he turned his back on her and began to walk away slowly.
"I just need to get something..."
That was all he said before disappearing, leaving Mayou to talk to herself as she walked back to her chambers and laid next to the blonde male who wrapped both arms around her waist.
"Sakura-chan will kill you if you're gone too long..."
-
"Umm...? I think he said that he was getting something?" Mayou said quietly.
A confused looked etched its way on Sakura's flawless face as she followed the Akatsuki member into the kitchen and took her seat beside the woman.
"What is he getting exactly?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.
Shrugging her shoulders, Mayou began to prepare a cup of tea as Sakura left the kitchen area and stalked towards her chambers, an annoyed look crossed her features as she opened the door and shut it behind her.
Why wouldn't he say anything about this to me?
And where did he go!?!
She was too deep in thought to notice a fairly tall figure enter the room and walked towards her sitting form. Sakura turned her head and placed both hands on her hips while walking towards the eldest Uchiha.
"And where the hell have you been!?!" She nearly screamed.
Approaching the kunoichi, Itachi silenced her with a kiss before she could go on any further. His hands dug into his Akatsuki cloak pocket until he found a small red velvet box and outstretched his hand towards Sakura who seemed perplexed.
Slowly, the Uchiha opened the top of the box and watched as Sakura face lit up and she almost tackled Itachi to the ground by doing so. The box stayed perfectly safe, though you can't say the same thing for Itachi who was being crushed against Sakura who was hugging him way too tightly.
"Thank you so much Itachi-kun!" She squealed.
"I'd do anything for you Sakura-chan..." He stated while taking the small silver ring out of the box and sliding it onto Sakura's left ring finger where it fit perfectly.
It was a simple yet elegant ring. A thin silver band with three small diamonds in the middle; they seemed to sparkle in the light of the room as Sakura looked at the beautiful ring on her left finger and then at Itachi.
As his left hand came closer to her cheek to caress it, Sakura couldn't help but notice a silver ring adorning Itachi's left ring finger. Sakura embraced the Uchiha who smiled a genuine smile and hugged her back with just as much love...
1 month later
Her knuckles were white, as Sakura balled a fist and let out a pain fill scream that reached all ears, especially Mayou who was in the process of talking her through the birthing process as much as could.
"Take in a deep breath Sakura-chan!" She instructed loudly.
"Now... push!"
Groaning, Sakura did her best not to pull out her hair at the moment. The pain she was experiencing was like nothing she had ever felt before! Her face was a beet red colour and her knuckles looked as if they would turn blue any second, though they did not.
This had been going on for a total of 3 ½ hours and Sakura felt totally drained of energy. Her body was burning and her face was filled with her sweat mixed with tears. Mayou had told Itachi to wait outside while she helped deliver the baby, something that she had no experience in whatsoever!
"One more push Sakura-chan!" She cried
"Your almost there!"
Doing as she was told by the blue haired woman, Sakura pushed with all her might until she felt like she was going to burst. Watching as a head came into view, Mayou looked Sakura in the eyes and began speak again.
"I see the head! Push again!"
Nodding her head numbly, Sakura took in a much needed breath before using the last of her strength to push the baby out. As the room quieted a new noise made itself known and it was one that both Itachi and Sakura were glad to here...
The crying of a child could be heard as Mayou wrapped it up in a white blanket and handed it to Sakura who looked at the child's small face and smiled brightly. Itachi opened the door and was at Sakura side in the blink of an eye.
It felt so weird for Itachi to be seated next to the woman he loves and looking at his child. All of this didn't seem real to him, he never would have expected to fall in love with Haruno Sakura and actually have a child!
Handing the baby over to Itachi carefully, he took it with care and stared at the infant's face. It was too young to know whether it looked more like Itachi or Sakura. Even the hair color could not be determined, but what they both knew was that the smile plastered on the child's small face was that of Sakura's, that was for sure...
"Daichi..." Itachi whispered out.
Turning her head to look at Itachi, Sakura spoke quietly.
"What?"
Gently rocking the baby, Itachi repeated the name again.
"Daichi... our child will be called Daichi..."
The name sounded good to Sakura's ears as she repeated the entire name to herself...
"Uchiha Daichi..."
Great first son...
As Itachi continued to gently rock the small baby boy, Sakura seemed to have lost her breath at the very sight she was seeing before her. It was something that she had always dreamt of happening to her and Sasuke, not Itachi!
He'll be a great father...
5 months later
Finishing changing Daichi's diaper, Sakura placed the small child in the crib Itachi had gone out and bought for him... Sakura rubbed the child's head as he began to chew on a soft toy that she had chose for him.
Laughter erupted from the child's throat as Sakura began to play with it. Stopping however when Itachi entered the room and wrapped an arm around Sakura's waist, pulling her closer to him.
"He looks just like you Itachi..." She stated.
He smiled at his beautiful wife as she continued to watch the small child laugh at nothing in particular.
1 ½ years later
Placing the Daichi on her lap, Sakura began to slowly bottle feed the still small child. Daichi had turned 1 year old a few months ago.
January 29...
Watching as the child continued to laugh; Sakura took the empty bottle away from Daichi and picked the infant up as she began to pat his back until she heard him burp and placed him on the carpeted floor where he began to play with various toys.
Handing his wife a glass of water, Itachi took his seat on the couch next to her as he watched the small child play with the toys he and Sakura had gotten for him. Like his father, Daichi had piercing sharingan eyes, though he had chestnut brown hair and Sakura's smile.
Pulling the small woman close to him, Itachi watched as the first child he had ever had grew up slowly before his eyes...
5 years later
"Daichi come here..." Sakura said to her son.
Laughing as he ran towards the pink haired woman, Daichi looked to where Sakura was pointing and his eyes looked at the pile of toys scattered on the floor.
"Remember what your father and I said about cleaning up after you're done playing?" She said.
The brown haired child nodded his head slowly as he looked at his mother's stern face.
"Sorry mommy..." He said while picking up a few toys and putting them away.
Sakura's face softened when Daichi began to clean up the mess. He never gave her any trouble and listened well to what both his parents told him. Sakura had said that he was an obedient child and was not the trouble maker type...
Hugging his mother's leg, Daichi raised his hands over his head, signaling that he wanted to be picked up which Sakura found very cute.
Giving her child a warm smile, Sakura picked him up and hugged him softly before placing a small kiss on his forehead and walking out of the room only to walk into the kitchen. Mayou smiled at the child as she began to prepare some lunch for everyone in Akatsuki.
Still on his mother's lap, Daichi's face brightened up when the blue haired woman placed a steaming bowl of ramen in front of the child. Instantly he went to eat it, which astonished both women to no extent...
He eats like Naruto...
Itachi and the rest of the male members still went on regular missions. This didn't bother Sakura, for she knew that there was nothing she could say in the matter... Her eyes darted to where Itachi's stood, arms crossed, leaning against the doorway of the kitchen.
"Daddy's back!" Daichi hollered.
The six year old child hopped off of Sakura's lap and into the arms of Itachi who embraced the child and placed a small kiss on the toddler's head. Sitting beside Sakura, Itachi gave her a warm smile before eating his own food and she as well...
"Daddy, play with me after!" Daichi cried.
Nodding his head, the small child went off to play with Mayou who took his hand and walked him towards the child's room. Sakura held the Uchiha's hand as he rubbed her knuckles with his thumb.
The years had gone by quickly and before Sakura knew it she was now at the age of 25 while Itachi was at the age of 27... To Itachi it seemed as if Sakura hadn't aged one bit, the same went for Itachi who kept his handsome face and muscular body...
Sakura looked at the rind around her left finger and the other on Itachi's exact same finger. She felt so warm inside, knowing that she had a beautiful child with the man she loves with all her heart and always will...
And as both parents realized just how damn luck they really were, a warm smile was glued to their faces and nothing would be able to wipe it off...
Nothing...
