Okay, here's the chapter you've been waiting for. Baby Sarada finally arrives. Seriously, who names their kid "Salad?" Then again, Itachi's name means "weasel." Oh well. Anyways, enjoy!

It was 3am. Sasuke helped Sakura into bed and tried to keep her comfortable.

"Sakura, I should get you to the hospital," he said

"The Hidden Leaf Village is too far away. I won't make it," she replied

"Then let me go get help."

"NO!"

Sakura grabbed Sasuke's wrist rather tightly. He looked at her rather confused, but could tell that she was scared. Her eyes were pleading for his help.

"Stay with me. I don't want anyone else here," said Sakura

"You mean we...you...uhh...," Sasuke started to stutter

"We can do this together Sasuke."

Sasuke started to get scared, but he knew that Sakura was an expert in medical. She knew what she was doing and what she wanted. It wasn't long until Sakura started giving Sasuke orders on what to gather. He was running around the cabin grabbing stuff and bringing it to Sakura. Only once did Sasuke trip over his own feet, making a big crash. He quickly picked himself up, picked up everything he dropped, and rushed to Sakura.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" asked Sakura

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just tripped," he replied

"Look, you don't have to run around like this. This baby won't be coming for another few hours."

"Yeah, that's what they all say."

"Alright, let's just get everything set."

A few minutes later, everything was set. All Sasuke could do now was wait. Even though he wanted to go back to bed, he had to stay up with Sakura. Her pain was now intense. She squeezed Sasuke's hand which was going to keep him wide awake and alert. When the contractions ceased, Sakura would doze off to sleep, but would soon be woken up when the contractions began again.

"I'm right here Sakura," Sasuke would tell her every time she awoke

He kissed her hand and did his best to keep her comfortable. The hours rolled by and it was almost 6am. The time has finally come, their baby was finally arriving. Sasuke got behind Sakura to not only help support Sakura's position, but to also avoid of getting the job of being the receiver (wimp). Sasuke took both of her hands while Sakura began pushing.

"Good Sakura. You can do it," said Sasuke

"SHUT UP!" screamed Sakura

She crushed Sasuke's hands and he yelped. There was nothing else for Sasuke to do except take the pain in his hands and kiss the top of Sakura's head. A few minutes later, a new sound filled the room. Sasuke felt Sakura's grip loosen and she slowly leaned back against him, catching her breath. He looked down at Sakura and she had a smile on her face.

"Go ahead Sasuke. Just remember what I told you," said Sakura tiredly.

Sasuke got up from the bed, making sure Sakura got to rest her head on a pillow. He then grabbed a soft towel and baby blanket. Sasuke slowly lifted up Sakura's nightgown and right before his eyes was the newborn. Still crying, just waiting for somebody. A smile appeared on Sasuke's face while tears formed in his eyes.

"Sasuke, what were we blessed with?" asked Sakura tiredly

"It's a girl. We have a daughter," he replied happily.

Sasuke wrapped the newborn in the towel first. He cut the cord, cleaned her off, and then wrapped her in her new baby blanket. Sasuke then picked her up again and her crying began to cease. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Sasuke, let me see her," said Sakura

He walked over to Sakura and placed the newborn in her arms. Sakura began to smile and cry tears of joy.

"I can't believe it. I'm a mommy," she said

"And I'm a daddy," said Sasuke

He kissed Sakura and she kissed him back. Sasuke then leaned in and kissed his daughter's forehead.

"She's so perfect. She looks like you," said Sakura

"She looks like you too," said Sasuke

"So, you're not disappointed about not having a son?"

"Of course not. I'm so happy and proud."

"I guess you're going to be protective of her for a long time."

"Always. Now, what should we name her?"

"I've been thinking a lot and I think the name that suits her the best is Sarada."

"Sarada?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?"

"Nothing. It's just not a very common name."

"Well I think it's a beautiful name."

"Very well. Her name will be Sarada Uchiha."

Sarada looked up at her parents and smiled and she soon drifted off to asleep. It was 6 am, Sasuke took Sarada in his arms so Sakura could get some sleep. Sasuke was tired as well, but just couldn't sleep. He walked out of the bedroom with his daughter and over to the front window. There, Sasuke looked at the beautiful scenery. The sunrise made nature more beautiful. Sasuke then looked at his daughter.

"Sarada, I promise that I won't let you down. I'm going to teach you everything I know," he said

A few days later, Sasuke & Sakura headed back to The Hidden Leaf Village with their baby girl Sarada. When they entered the village, no one really took notice. Then Tsunade saw them and ran over to them.

"Sakura, Sasuke, I was wondering where you two have been, but now I see why," she said looking at Sarada.

"Yeah, she decided to come while we were away from the village," said Sakura

"What's her name?"

"Her name is Sarada. Sarada Uchiha."

"That's a beautiful name. Welcome home Sarada. Now Bolt has a playmate."

"That's right. I almost forgot."

Tsuade chat with them a little while longer until she had to continue running her errands. Sasuke & Sakura finally made it home. Sarada was taken into her other nursery and placed in her crib. She continued to sleep. Sakura just stood over the crib and watched her daughter sleep. Sasuke soon joined her.

"Sakura, you should get some rest," he said

"But I can't stop watching her," she replied

"I know, but you should rest before she wakes up."

"Alright, but only if you'll come with me."

"Tempted huh?"

Sakura smacked the side of his arm.

"I was only kidding, where did you learn to hit like that?" Sasuke asked while rubbing his arm

"Swat team," replied Sakura as she started leaving the nursery

"You're kidding?...You're not kidding."

The next day, Sasuke & Sakura got a visitor. It was the Uzumaki family. Hinata was carrying Bolt in his baby sling. He was curiously looking around.

"I heard the news today. Congratulations you two," said Hinata

"Thanks," replied Sasuke

"So, where is she?" asked Naruto

"Hold on, I'll get her," said Sakura

She went into the nursery and came back out a few minutes later with Sarada sound asleep in her arms. Hinata awed at the sight of Sarada.

"She's so little," she said

"What's her name?" asked Naruto

"Sarada," said Sakura

"Awe, that's a cute name," said Hinata

"Cute? Why would you name your kid Salad?" asked Naruto

Hinata elbowed Naruto pretty hard. She now felt embarrassed. Sasuke just facepalmed. A few minutes later, Everyone was gathered on the sofa. Bolt looked at Sarada curiously and tried to pat her.

"How cute, they're friends already," said Hinata

"I bet they'll make a cute couple someday," said Sakura

"HELL NO!" Naruto and Sasuke both shouted at the same time

End of Chapter 3. So Sarada finally entered this fanfic story. The next chapter is going to do a time jump so it'll begin to get into the main plot of the story. I hope you look forward to more of the story.
