Summary – QQQ. Just read it?
Previously - Sakura set Naruto down on the bed, gently, pulling the covers up over him.
"I guess we'll have to get you some new clothes, huh?" she whispered to the sleeping Naruto, as she took a look in the drawers.
Chapter Four – Baby, we can talk all night.
Sakura shut the door, gently and leant against it, breathing a sigh of happiness. She had achieved her childhood dream, even if it was only a school project. She had Sasuke as her soon-to-be husband, a sweet little kid, a perfect house and who knew what could happen next?
"Sakura," Sasuke's voice came from the door of his room, "we need to talk about this project."
Sakura turned to look at Sasuke, but instead of seeing cold eyes with a vengeance, she saw frightened eyes that needed help keeping together. She nodded and followed Sasuke back down the staircase and into the living room.
"What exactly did you want to talk about, Sasuke-Kun?" she said, blushing just a little.
Sasuke sighed heavily, before flopping down on the sofa and prodding the seat beside him, indicating that Sakura should sit down too.
"I wanted… I wanted to say that I'm…" Sasuke paused, apparently trying to come up with the courage to say whatever it was he wanted to say, "I'm sorry. I wanted to say I'm sorry."
Sakura was slightly taken aback at his sudden change of heart.
"Sorry for what Sasuke-Kun?"
"For being a jerk…" He sighed and sank lower in to the sofa, "I know how much this project means to you, and you seem to be enjoying yourself. I'll try to stop ruining it for you."
Sakura resisted the urge to throw herself upon Sasuke. Instead she just smiled and nodded.
"It's ok, Sasuke-Kun. All you need to do is try to act like we're your own family."
Sasuke looked up and nodded, to signify that he understood and he would do his best to make it easy, for the both of them.
The Next Day
Sakura opened one eye, sleepily and glanced at the clock on the bedside table in her new room.
"Half Seven… Ick…" she sighed, "Go… Go go go… Get up, lazy thing…" she muttered to herself as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Gotta get up… On the count of three, then. One… Two…" Sakura paused, "Two." she said, again, "One… Two… … Twooo… THREE!"
She pulled her legs around so that they hung off the side of the bed and then pushed up off the bed with her hands… And collapsed next to the wardrobe.
"Mummy, why are you on the floor?" Naruto's voice drifted in to Sakura's room from the landing.
"Mummy was just…" Sakura fumbled for an excuse, "Mummy was just… Uh… Doing her morning stretches!"
After Much Stretching and Yawning
Sakura, having finally managed to drag herself out of the bedroom, stared into the air, as she stirred her coffee absent mindedly. Sasuke sat across the table from her, apparently pondering the mysteries of the universe.
Sakura took a deep breath.
"Sasuke-kun…" she started, but was cut off by Sasuke, himself.
"Sakura, you take Naruto today. I need to think some things over."
Sakura was a little taken a back at the "request", but she decided to take it in her stride and go along with it. Just as she was about to get up to leave the table, Naruto came bouncing into the kitchen.
"Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" he cried, jumping up on Sakura's lap, with a huge grin on his face, and hugging her tight.
Sakura ruffled Naruto's hair and smiled down at him, not noticing Sasuke smile slightly at the strange scene.
