Kakashi work before I did and when I woke he was feeding Mishi a bottle. I smiled.
"She likes you."
He smiled and I noticed his mask was off.
"Yeah. Who'd have thought?"
I started making breakfast when there was a knock at the door. I opened it only to see Naruto and Sasuke. They'd both returned not long ago. I smiled and Naruto smiled back. Sasuke just hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"Guys, you'll never guess who came by last night."
Just then, Kakashi came down the hall, holding the baby.
"Yo."
Naruto ran to him and hugged him. Kakashi scolded him, saying he was squishing Mishi-chan. Naruto rubbed the back of his neck.
"He he, sorry, Sensei. We thought you were dead."
"Hn. Welcome home, Kakashi," Sasuke said, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Something smells good. What's for breakfast?"
I smiled up at my boyfriend.
"I made SOS. I hope you guys are hungry, cause I made enough for an army of Akamichis."
Sasuke smirked and kissed my cheek before going to sit at the table. I set the food down and took Mishi from Kakashi.
"I'll go put her to bed and I'll be right back. You guys go ahead and eat, but save me some."
-X-
"Sasuke, you decided to come back?" I asked.
"Yeah. I got what I wanted from that snake bastard, killed him and met up with Naruto on his way back to the village. We got back and Sakura was about four months pregnant with Mishi. We were on a mission when she went into labor, but we got back in time to meet her in the delivery room. The hokage let us be with her. She... she had a hard time delivering her and we weren't sure she was going to make it. They had to do a partial hysterectomy. They told her that it would be dangerous to have any more kids, but it was possible. Tsunadae wants to put her on birth control as soon as Mishi is old enough to eat solid foods. Sakura refuses to feed her formula."
I nodded. Sakura had gone through so much trouble to have our daughter.
That wasn't awkward at all. Our daughter.
-X about 3 months later x-
I groaned and rolled over in my sleep.
"Sakura. Sakura, wake up."
I opened my eyes and looked up at Kakashi.
"Bad dream?"
I nodded and hugged him. He laid down and held me against his side. I sighed.
"Kakashi?"
"Hm?"
"...Is this weird to you? Sleeping next to your former student?"
After a moment of silence, he sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
"I like to think of you now as the mother of my child. It's taken some getting used to these last few months, but I'm not thinking of you as my student anymore."
"...So, would it bug you if we started dating?"
He sat up.
"Nani?"
I blushed and looked away.
"I... I was thinking... we have a kid together and... well, you haven't been seeing women like you did before your last mission... and I was thinking... we could... give it a try?"
He thought about it for a second and sighed.
"But, if it would be too awkward, I understand-"
"Sakura-"
"-but it was just a thought, you don't have to-"
"Sakura-"
"-consider it if you-"
He sighed if frustration and grabbed me by the arms, pinning me to the bed and kissing me, efficiently shutting me up.
"Sakura, will you go out with me?"
I blushed and nodded.
"Y-yeah. I'll go out with you."
He smiled.
"Great. I'll take you to dinner as soon as you get home from the hospital this evening."
"Kakashi, I can cook-"
"No, nonsense. I'm sure Tsunadae is just DYING to babysit her little grandson for a little while."
I frowned," are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
"Well, if she doesn't mind..."
"I'm sure her uncles wouldn't mind if she does."
"Alright. It's a date then."
He smiled.
"Yeah, a date."
