I don't own naruto.


All of Ino's friends scrambled about, trying to get Ino completely ready for her wedding, but Ino was nervous at the same time, not making things any easier for them.

A hand reached out to slap Ino's hand as they twisted her already curly hair. "Stop that, Ino! That's the fourth time! We're not fixing up that hair again, it takes too much time!" Sakura threw her arms up in the air, frustrated from having to keep everything in the wedding in order.

Ino was already in her wedding dress, but being the girl she was, she was constantly taking several strands of her hair, twisting it around her finger, but it would always ruin the curls Tenten and Hinata had made in her hair, ending up so that everyone would have to do her hair again, which wasn't that fast.

After the dress, everyone had spent nearly three hours on her hair since she kept messing it up, an hour for each time she messed it up. "I'm scared," she muttered, and then she stood up suddenly, making Temari huff when she was just about to pat on some blush on Ino's face.

"Stop moving!" Tenten, Sakura, and Temari all shout at the same time, immediately making Ino sit back down. Some chuckles were heard outside and Sakura immediately turned toward the door, swinging it open a crack.

"Shut up, guys! I'm sure Sasuke could dress himself but Ino obviously cannot! So shut up!" she slammed the door in Kiba's, Naruto's, Chouji's, and Kankuro's face. She held something to her ear, saying something into it before she returned back to doing Ino's makeup and hair again.

Ino sat stiffly on the chair, keeping her hands crossed so they won't create more work for anyone else. Ten minutes after, Temari declared that they were done and all the girls sat back on a chair, resting and Ino turned toward the mirror, taking a good look at herself. "It wasn't that hard was it?" Ino asked, her voice soft.

Hinata held a cup of water out to Ino. "You messed it up several times, I mean your hair…" Ino reached for the cup of water, gulping it down quickly before holding a brush at Hinata.

"Your makeup is messed up," she stated, and then softly moved the brush over Hinata's eyelids. After fixing up all of her bridesmaids, she sat quietly on her seat, and said, "Can I see Sasuke?" Sakura was muttering into the item she had pressed against her ear, giving orders to the other people that were still setting up.

Tenten kneeled over so she met Ino's height. "Well, it's originally considered bad luck for the groom to see the bride's dress, Ino. So, you may not see him, but we can call for Shikamaru or Itachi." Tenten had her hair down, and surprisingly, it was almost as long as Hinata's.

A knock on the door was immediately sounded and Sakura opened it, and without permission, the rest of their friends rushed in, but she kept a close eye out for a single person. She grabbed the wrist of Sasuke as he tried walking past her.

Sasuke's head immediately snapped in her direction. "No," she said sharply.

He bent closer. "No one has to know about it, just a little chat with her." And then Itachi walked past him, wobbling slightly, and Sakura picked up the small child, pushing him into Sasuke's hands.

"Be a good husband and father and bring Itachi out of here," Sakura instructed, and gave Sasuke a small push before closing the door slowly.

The groom looked at his son in his hands. "You remember how nice your mother was at Sakura's wedding, don't you?" he asked his son, who simply raised a hand, laughing loudly. "That's right, she wasn't that mean." He looked at his son once again, smiling at how Itachi's hair spiked like his, his face held a kind expression while Sasuke's was emotionless.

Itachi nodded his head, slightly sticking a finger into his mouth. "Scawy," he said, and then gave a short laugh before, using his left hand, touched Sasuke's forehead, giggling again.

His father nodded. "Uhm, scary."

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

Surprisingly, the ceremony quickly past by and before both of them knew it, Sasuke and Ino were finally allowed to see each other without anyone saying anything about the groom not being able to see her dress.

When they were all feasting, Itachi suddenly ran out of the crowd, behind him was Sakura, chasing after him, but it didn't look as if it was a game, more like as if Itachi was really trying to get away from Sakura. He jumped into Sasuke's arms and Ino kissed her son's cheek sweetly.

"Why is Itachi running away from me?" Sakura asked Ino, staring as Sasuke carried Itachi around, swinging him around several times to smile when he laughed.

Ino looked at her husband, earning nothing but a shrug, and then she said, "Sasuke, what did you say to Itachi?" she had her arms on her hips and she pouted.

Sasuke had his back to Ino. "Nothing really, just that Sakura was much more meaner than you were when you organized her wedding…" he didn't try lying since Ino would have already known since she would have been reading his mind at the same time.

"Reverse this, Sasuke!" Ino said, and Sasuke turned around, whispering something to Itachi, most likely about Sakura. After saying several words, he nodded his head and Itachi began to babble.

Sasuke placed Itachi down on the floor and immediately, he ran to Sakura. "You better hope he doesn't run to Sakura all the time now." he crossed his arms, looking at his son.

"What did you say to him?"

"I lied to him about Sakura."

"Sasuke!"

"I'll fix that later," he said, and leaned back against the wall.

Ino stood beside him, entwining her fingers with his, she said, "You're not going to enjoy our own wedding celebration?" she turned toward him to immediately see his sharigan.

Staring into his eyes, she didn't feel his arm snake around her waist and pull her into a kiss until a cough separated them. Ino gave Sasuke a light push away from her, letting her bangs cover her eye before looking at the person that had interrupted their moment. Sasuke always pushed Ino's bangs back while they kissed and eventually, it became an on going habit of his whenever he kissed her. As time and time went on, it became weird for him to not feel Ino's lips at least once a day.

"Shouldn't the both of you be enjoying this? Sakura went crazy planning everything for today, and I even took the day off to be here!" Naruto gave a smile, turning around to see Sakura surrounded by his twins and Itachi.

"I will only enjoy things when Ino is beside me…" he turned toward her again, kissing her lips softly, brushing her bangs back behind her ear gently. Ino smiled against his lips, her hands brushing in his hair, and just when she felt his arms wrap around her waist tightly, another cough interrupting once again. Sasuke looked annoying up at Naruto. "Stop that," he ordered.

A small smile was planted on his face. "Really, I can't." and his ears immediately perked up when music was tuned on. "May I have this dance?" Naruto asked, holding his hand out to Ino.

Immediately, Sasuke stepped between. "Of course not, she's mine." and taking her hand gently, Sasuke led her toward the dance floor instead. He placed his hands on her waist softly just as she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

Closing her eyes, she said, "I always imagined for this to happen …and now it really is…"

"Well, it's a wonder how I can stand next to you with your dress so big …I never thought it would be so huge," he said, smiling against Ino's mouth as he pulled her into a kiss.

Ino pulled away, a smile on her face. "Sasuke!"

He pushed a finger against her pink lips and said, "But you look beautiful none-the-less."


Four years later

Ino sat on the bed that she and her husband slept in, rubbing her stomach gently. The quietness in the house was unsettling to her mind, but it made her feel calm that Itachi wouldn't be making too much trouble. The bathroom door opened, and Sasuke stepped out, a towel thrown over his shoulder, and he smiled at the woman sitting on the bed before joining her several minutes later.

A smile spread on Ino's lips as he stepped forward, holding her hands elegantly. "It's almost time…" he pressed a hand on her stomach, where it had grown extremely large. "Are you going to miss being pregnant?" he felt a small bump in her stomach every few seconds and smiled.

"Oh, he's always kicking …such a fighter." Ino looked at her husband. "Just like you."

Sasuke touched several strands of her hair, than down her body toward her stomach again to feel the baby kick several more times in her womb. "It's several more days …it could even be today." than he grabbed her hand, spreading the curtains apart. "It's morning, let's take a walk," he said.

Ino struggled off the bed but with a little help from Sasuke, she finally managed to stand up and she fixed the dress she wore, looking in the mirror to fix her hair neatly so that it was arranged around her shoulders.

"Ino, you look beautiful, now let's go," he gave her hand a gentle squeeze before giving it a light tug.

"You can never look too beautiful," Ino stated, touching her hair softly. When Sasuke stood behind her, nipping on her neck softly, she giggled, taking several steps forward.

The pair walked through the nearby park before both of them sat down on the bench. "I'll pick up Itachi from Inoichi right after you give birth …I'm afraid your water will break when I leave you alone for a second." Sasuke softly kissed Ino's neck, hearing a giggle from her.

Her arms held around his neck gently. "You worry about me too much," she stated happily, planting a sweet kiss on his cheek.

Sasuke sat next to him, an arm wrapped around her body, and his eyes closed when he felt her nose toward his neck suddenly speed up. He pulled away from her, studying her face. "What's wrong, Ino?" his dark orbs were suddenly worried, something that was rarely seen on his face. His facial expression was emotionless, yet his eyes were panicking over his wife.

She pulled away from him, her eyes wide and she said in short gasps, "I think my water just broke." her hand caught on Sasuke's wrist. "Get me to the hospital!" and without further arguments, Sasuke slipped his arms underneath her legs, picking her up easily and running toward the building.

The last pregnancy that had happened, he hadn't heard her screams of pain until a few hours after, and certainly, he was surprised when he immediately heard the pains of agony. A white bed was already ready and she was immediately rolled away into a room.

Sasuke tried following his wife into the room but several nurses pushed him out, saying words of reassurance to him softly. Sakura burst out of the room, pushing Sasuke back and she said, "You're not allowed in right now." she held her hands out, pushing him back several feet.

"I was allowed in with her when she was giving birth to Itachi," he stated, and ran forward when Ino gave a scream from the room, but Sakura threw a fist at him, easily pushing him back, but with enough practice, Sasuke managed to stop himself before he was thrown through the wall.

"This is a different hospital! Her condition is also much more worse, you have to stay outside for a couple of hours before I can let you in." Sasuke slumped down onto the wooden seats in the hospital, his shoulders hunched.

Sakura sat beside him. "Why aren't you inside?" Sasuke lowly asked.

The woman beside him twisted her hands nervously. "Well, she's my friend and I really can't stand her screams, it curls in your mind. Now literally, but it's like she's looking through my mind at the same time, and I can't stand it." Sakura looked over at Sasuke, who looked down at the floor. "Do you have that feeling?"

Sasuke looked at her. "No," he simply replied.

The doors swung open and the rest of his childhood friends began to storm in, that is, except for Naruto. Most of the males patted Sasuke's shoulder reassuringly, probably all of them noticing the worried look in the dark eyes.

Sakura clutched her ears painfully when another scream rang out of the room. "Hey girls, I think we should get out of here." and as she walked past Sasuke, he immediately grabbed her arm.

"If women fall when they hear her scream, who is inside? I won't allow it if they are male," Sasuke said, his eyes burning, and Sakura sank low to avoid his dangerous gaze.

"There are Medical Yamanakas inside, don't worry, they had to deal with them their whole life and they've been training for a long time." Sakura rushed past Hinata and Tenten, grabbing their sleeves quickly before she trailed off with them.

Sasuke looked up at all of the males that remained, snared his teeth and then said sharply, "What?" his tone immediately made the rest of the group turn around, looking away from them, but the each of them winced after every scream.

After several hours of sitting, a blonde woman poked her head out of the room. "Sasuke Uchiha? Quickly, the baby is almost born." and she led Sasuke into the room toward where Ino was, shaking her head she said, "Twenty two hours…"

Sasuke brushed Ino's damp bangs back, looking at her tired eyes and then at her fragile body. "Where is my baby? Is it a boy or girl?" her eyes immediately became worried and Sasuke dabbed her forehead with a towel.

"I'm sure you did wonderful," Sasuke replied, kissing her lips softly, and Ino's tense shoulders immediately relaxed.

"Congratulations, it's a boy," the nurse said, and then she slowly handed the small baby to Sasuke. Sasuke smiled at the baby and then he turned to Ino.

"Ino, what do you want to name-" and he stopped immediately mid-sentence.

A nurse pressed a hand against Ino's forehead gently. "She fainted, and I don't think she'll wake up in a while…" the Yamanaka nurse pushed her hair back softly before bowing at Sasuke. "You may visit her next week, for this week, she is going to have to rest."

Sasuke looked at the child in his arms, looking at the small locks of navy colored hair that sprouted from his head. A soft look was on his face as the child laid already dressed in a light sky-blue outfit in his arms. It yawned softly before cuddling close to his chest. He looked down quietly at the child, smiling at it.

The baby was already turning around in his hands and he looked down at it, kissing its forehead gently, rubbing its head slowly.

~'.~'.~'.~'.~

It was finally time he was allowed to visit her, and Sasuke held a stroller in one hand, a bouquet of roses in another. Outside of her door were Inoichi and Itachi together, Itachi was asleep and his head was on Inoichi's lap, who was also deep asleep. Sasuke rolled the stroller beside Itachi and lifted the sleeping baby out of it.

He pushed the door open, nudging his cheek against the baby's forehead at the same time. Then he saw a beautiful sight.

On the bed was his wife, awake and leaning back against the white pillows, her beautiful long hair spread around her to give her an angelic look. The peak of her dress fell over the side and Ino's face immediately lit up, seeing her husband and her baby.

She reached her hands out. "Oh, let me hold him! He's so adorable!" Sasuke smiled simply and without further words, he placed the flowers beside her bed and gave her their son. "What's his name?"

"No, I decided you would want to name this one," Sasuke stated, smiling at her lightened face when she cradled the child. "He looks a bit like you," he said, looking at his second son.

The dark navy hair that made him noticeable was already quite long, sprouting from all over his head, think and straight. An inch or two of the navy hair was already sticking above his eye, obviously showing that it was going to grow out to cover it, but his eyes laid closed and he lifted hand once to touch them softly before cuddling closer to Ino.

"So cute…" she kissed it softly again before taking her blankets and creating a small bed for it to lie in, and she quietly placed it in. Then she swung her legs out of the bed, standing up to stumble into Sasuke's arms. "I miss you so much…"

Sasuke hugged her for a few seconds before pulling away from her. "You feel different," he said, staring at her.

Ino looked at herself. "I don't feel different…" she pressed herself against Sasuke.

"Never mind, you just gave birth," he said, and then kissed her lips softly. She returned it just as sweet but then she pulled away, looking at his eyes.

"What's wrong?" she looked at his eyes.

Sasuke simply lifted a finger up at the form behind them on the bed. "He's awake," he said, referring to their newborn. "I didn't know his eyes were sky-blue," he stated, staring at the baby.

His wife helped herself to the bed, staring at her child too and then she gasped. "You've been with our baby for two weeks and you didn't know his eyes were sky-blue?" then she stopped. "Where's Itachi?"

Sasuke coughed once before replying, "Inoichi, I left him with him." he rubbed his chin and turned around when Ino untied one of the straps on her dress. "Itachi wanted Inoichi to take care of him because he said that my cooking was …horrible."

Ino was giggling, not at Sasuke, at the baby. "I want to name him Inoichi, after my father…" and when Sasuke turned around again, Ino was breastfeeding their child.

"I don't mind, I got to name out first son," he replied, watching Ino.

"He's really hungry, what were you feeding him?" she asked, rubbing the small locks of dark hair that covered Inoichi's eye. Then she couldn't help but feel her eye twitch when he simply shrugged his shoulders. Disregarding the motion, Ino waited for a while before she began to feel Inoichi slowly fade away asleep and retied her dress strap back on, setting the baby back on the hospital bed.

Inoichi sat on the bed carelessly, his toes in his footie pajamas quirked a bit before he cross his legs, looking at Sasuke innocently, fully unaware of the bubble of milk popping at his mouth. His father stood against the wall, staring back at the baby.

His mother laughed lightly, grabbing a soft tissue from the bedside, dabbing it against the baby's mouth. "So adorable," she cooed, and then kissed the baby's cheek once again, watching as the baby suddenly look at her instead and it raised its arms, making small whining noises.

The blonde made no hesitation to pick the baby up and she gently pressed Inoichi to her shoulder, patting his back several times before hearing a satisfying burp. "Did Itachi meet Inoichi yet? Bring him in!" Ino jumped happily on her bed, holding Inoichi to her shoulder.

Sasuke walked out of the door and returned with Itachi holding onto his hand, a finger stuck in his mouth. His eyes brightened when he saw his mother and he pulled his finger from his mother. "Dad taught me a new jutsu! Want to see?" and he began to weave signs, only to be stopped by his father.

"Does it have fire involved in it?" Ino asked.

"It does, a lot," Sasuke replied, smiling, obviously proud of his son.

Ino waved a hand. "Not now then …but Itachi, sit here," she said, patting the seat beside her on the bed, her long blonde hair covered the small baby attached to her shoulder.

"What's that on your shoulder?" her son immediately asked, and Ino and Sasuke sighed, knowing they couldn't hide things from their first son's observant eyes.

"Itachi, meet your new baby brother…" Ino said, pulling the baby from her shoulder and she gave a pained expression. "Ow, ow, let go of Mommy's hair, Darling," she said to the baby and pulled him out of her hair, gently holding him out to Itachi.

Itachi's eyes went wide and he stared at it, poking it's forehead once to receive a smile from the baby. "He's cute," he replied.
