Chapter 3: Mommies

I got in the passengers seat of Sasuke's car Sasuka smiled getting in the back seat Sasuke

buckled him up smiling he got in the driver seat, starting the engine he looked over at me,

"So Sakura" Sasuke piped from the back seat, he looked so happy "So Sasuka?" he

smiled, "Sasuka, that's a nice name, what's it mean"

"Sasuka is a form of Sasuke, it means help assisted" Sasuke said blankly, " My Ex-wife

never really appreciated the name. In fact she never appreciated Sasuka"

"Oh I am sorry" he gave me a smile, "it's fine" he pulled into a driveway of an apartment

complex, "you live at millers?" he smiled, "yes I do" Sasuka was messing with a little

bear in the back, I looked up to see million Christmas lights twinkling on the roof tops of

the apartments, it took my breath away, "if you like these you should see the ones south

of here, it's a whole nine blocks of Christmas fun and joy" I was stunned.

"Alright Sasuka get out of the car and lets get inside before snow hits us" Sasuke said

Sasuka fiddled with the belt on the car seat, I smiled and came around and un buckled

him, he held his arms up and I picked him up, "come on mister Sasuka sir" I joked, he put

his head on my shoulder, "follow me" Sasuke said, he lead me up four flights of stairs

and down the hall to apartment number 309, inside was nothing special, a Christmas tree

shown with lights to my left and two stockings hung above the radiator, "well you both

certainly like Christmas" I said, "it's only the ninth and you guys are ready" Sasuke

smiled, "okay, Sasuka what are you hungry for?" Sasuka shrugged, "we have raviolis, um

spaghetti, toast…..umm" I knew a dish that was famous that combined some lettuce

tomatoes and some raviolis, it was actually Italian and it was called Mansascotti, "you

guys have lettuce, and tomatoes?" Sasuke nodded, "I can cook a really good Italian dish

for you both" I said smiling, Sasuke shrugged, "well alright, come on Sasuka" Sasuka

hugged me and followed his father. Within the hour the food was ready, "Sasuke,

Sasuka!" I called both walked in casually, "dinner is ready" the table was set and

everything before I called them in, I just beamed.

"Very delicious Sakura"

"thank you Sakura" Sasuka piped, he yawned, "I think it's time for you to head off to be

Mr." Sasuke said looking at the clock, Sasuka smiled, "but I am not sleepy" he yawned

again and laid his head on the table, "I'll clear the dishes" Sasuke said I picked Sasuka up

and carried him up the stairs, "where's his room?" I asked "right door" he said over his

shoulder, I carried Sasuka up the stairs and into the right bedroom, there was a toddlers

bed and the bear that he had been fiddling with earlier in the car sat on the blue pillows,

little feeties sat on a lamb printed dresser, I smiled and grabbed the feeties and quickly

changed him and tucked him in, "night Sasuka" I said, "night mommy" he mumbled, I

felt tears sting my eyes, I have never had kids and no one has ever called me mommy.

I went back down stairs to see Sasuke plop on the couch he smiled and beckoned me to

sit I sat, "your really great with Sasuka" he smiled I had never seen such a wonderful

smile in my life, "thanks, I am sorry he calls me mommy, it just sort of happened with in

the four months he's been after school with me." Sasuke smiled, "he really needs

someone to be tender with him. As do I" he whispered. I touched his hand, "you're a

great father, it's tough being mommy and daddy at the same time, my father had to do

that for nineteen years of my life, my former teen years were left up to him to explain"

Sasuke handed me some coffee in a mug, "thank you"

"when did your mother die?" I sighed, "I was Sasuka's age." Sasuke touched my hand,

"how did she die?"

"Giving birth to my little brothers, she lost blood" that's what my dad said but I found her

diary and her last entry was nine days after my baby brother Toeski died she wrote she

couldn't live again, Toshi was born ten minutes before Toeski, I still talk to him from

time to time, he said he didn't really remember Toeski, but anyways my mother said she

was going to hang her self in my room, I guess before I saw my dad called the police or

something I was too young to remember but I do remember my father saying mommy

was gone for awhile that I'd see her someday" I blinked and sipped my coffee, "I don't

mean to pry but how did you and your wife….well….uh….fall apart"

"oh….i don't mind saying…it happened….."
