Well guys, this is it. The last chapter!
Thank you all for reviewing and staying with me. I really do love you guys. Also (Just to get this off my chest) Yes, I do not add POV changes in this story. Therefore if you don't like it, I am not holding a gun up to you're head to read it. I know I'm an amateur writer, but seriously? I know what a POV change is. Maybe it was just the way I read the review. People really shouldn't assume things. Beside's my other story had POV changes -.-
ANYWAYS…
I do not own Naruto!
8 Months Pregnant
Sakura woke to a delicious smelling breakfast. She followed the lingering scent all the way down the stairs. Itachi looked up from setting the table and gave a warm smile. Sakura smiled back.
"How did you sleep?" he asked walking towards her. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the table.
"Wonderful. You fixed this?" she asked looking happy. He stared at her as if to say obviously. Sakura giggled and sat down.
"So tell me again why I have to leave?" he asked sitting down. Sakura was already munching on her food.
"Because it has been decided that the baby shower will be here" she answered. Itachi nodded and started eating. "This is actually really good" she glanced up.
Itachi smirked.
"Although, the counter and stove is a mess. And I see some cookbooks out. You cheated" she said narrowing her eye's at him. He hesitated. Then as if a light bulb appeared over his head he smiled.
"You already complimented me. Just eat" he said with a victorious smile.
"For now" Sakura mumbled. She glanced down and rubbed her engagement ring. She was really happy that day he proposed to her and ever since, when she would wake up she would rub her ring for luck. She smiled.
~~Time Skip~~
Sakura smiled as her friends all sat around the living room chatting. She couldn't remember a time where she had so much fun.
"So Hinata-chan, Naruto has the baby?" Sakura asked. Hinata shyly nodded. She smiled.
"Hey you know what's going to happen" Ino said randomly. Everyone looked at her. Some with questioning looks and some with hopeful looks.
"Akiko and Yuki will fall in love, then they will get married and then whenever Konan decides to come out of denial about her having twin boys and Temari like me will have a girl the twin boys and our girls will get together and get married. Then when Hinata has another baby preferably a girl and Tenten also comes out of denial and has a boy they will get together and get married then we ALL we be connected and we'll be a family" she said. Everyone was silent.
"What?"
"Ino it's not safe to drink while pregnant"
"WHAT I WOULDN'T DRINK!"
Sakura shook her head thinking why she was friends with the pig. Blondes were just down right confusing.
"A-Actually Sakura-chan, I-I would like t-that. Akiko and Yuki, t-together" Hinata said softly only for Sakura to hear. The other were to busy yelling at Ino while Shizune looked out of place and Tsunade was just indulging herself with Sake. Sakura smiled warmly at her.
"I'd like that to" she whispered giving Hinata a wink. Hinata smiled.
"ALRIGHT TIME FOR THE GAMES!" Temari yelled. Sakura sighed. It was going to be a long day.
~Night Time~
Sakura yawned while folding the some of the baby's clothes and putting them in they're respectful places. Once she was finished she glanced around the room. Sai had surely went all out. The room was different. Of course he had help from Sasori and Deidra. All the furniture was crafted by Sasori. He was well gifted.
Deidara and Sai had done the walls. They were painted a sky blue color with clouds all around. And right over the crib was a stork with a bundle of joy. She smiled. A rocking chair was placed near the window while the dresser was against the wall along with the changing station. On the wall was a sun. When the lights were on the sun would light up.
When the lights were off it would rotate and a big moon would come up. It was the perfect ideal. Sakura knew there was no way to keep Itachi from looking. Even if he promised. She couldn't trust that. So she needed a room that was fit for both a boy and girl. The sky was the limit.
"You're still in here?" Itachi asked. Sakura turned to look at him and smiled.
"Yes, just admiring the work" she stated walking towards him. She wrapped her arms around him and stepped on her toes to kiss him. Itachi smiled.
"Lets go to bed" he said holding her hand. Sakura nodded and followed him smiling.
9 Months
~~THE BIG DAY~~
Sakura was tapping her toes. She crossed her arms over her chest and started tapping her fingers on her skin. She was annoyed.
"Itachi" she said her annoyance seeping through.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Does the phrase….THE BABY IS COMING! Mean anything to you?" she asked staring at him.
"Of course it does. Why?" he asked not taking his eye's off the road.
"THE BABY IS COMING AND YOU'RE ONLY DRIVING FIFTEEN IN A SIXTY MILE LANE! CARS ARE HONKING! THE BABY WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE EVEN GET THERE!" She yelled. Itachi winced at the sound of her voice. He was not expecting this. Itachi was perfectly fine at work. He was content. The baby was only due in a week. He had absolutely nothing to worry about.
Until he received a call from his lovely fiancée saying "The baby's coming the baby's coming" No one had ever told him about early deliveries or anything. Naturally he thought everything had a schedule. He had rushed home to find Sakura and Sai ready.
"Actually you know you increase you're percentage for death when speeding?" Sai said from the backseat. He was enjoying this.
"SHUT IT SAI!" Sakura yelled. "OH" she finished holding to her stomach. Itachi almost let go of the wheel until Sai yelled at him.
"Contraction" she assured. Sakura shut her eye's. She like Itachi and Sai were not prepared for this. She was going over the baby's room with Sai for when Akiko got older when she felt wet. At first Sakura thought she wet herself. But once she felt a sharp pain and looked down she knew.
"Just breathe" Sai said from the back seat.
"I'm breathing" she seethed out. Sai and Itachi gulped.
They had finally made it to the hospital and quickly admitted Sakura. Everyone had already arrived.
"R-Really?" Mikoto beamed her face glowing with excitement. Itachi nodded. He was asked kindly by Sakura or more like ordered to go and get Mikoto. Sakura wanted her in the room with her.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I'M SO EXCITED!" Mikoto beamed. She quickly raced to the room with her daughter. Itachi sighed.
"You should hurry back" Naruto said sitting beside Hinata. Everyone was in the waiting room. Just like they were with Hinata and just like they will be with Ino. He nodded. Dreading to go back there. He knew it was going to be scary from the stories his mother had told.
Naturally he was young when Sasuke was born and he can still remember the screaming he heard from the waiting room. With one last silent prayer he walked in the room. Mikoto had a wet paper cloth and was washing the sweat from Sakura's forehead. Sakura smiled at his return and held her hand out. He walked over and grabbed it. Brought his hand up to her face and kissed it.
"Don't leave again" she whispered. He nodded.
The day had been long and stressful for some. Itachi was at a loss for words. Sakura was sleeping sounding in the hospital bed. Despite the yelling and screaming followed by the crying Itachi was positive he was going to have a headache. But oddly enough he found that he didn't. The baby, his baby was sleeping in his arms. His little girl. Personally Itachi had always thought of a boy. Probably due to the fact that most members in his clan were men and he hadn't had much interaction with woman. It was only natural. Once she was placed in his arms Itachi was hooked and he wasn't letting go. Ever.
"She's beautiful" Itachi whispered.
"Akiko" Sakura whispered. He looked up. "Her name. I guess no one told you" she said giving a half smile.
"Akiko" he repeated. He looked at Akiko and smiled. Sakura held her arms out.
"I wanna hold my baby" she said. He nodded and stood up carefully and slowly walked over there. Sakura gently took Akiko from his arms. She smiled.
"Akiko, my beautiful girl" she cooed. She kissed Akiko's forehead. "Oh Yuki is just going to love you" she smiled.
"What?" Itachi said narrowing his eye's. Itachi made a mental note to speak with Naruto later.
Sakura silently giggled. She winked at Itachi then put her attention back on Akiko.
"For now" she whispered. "She's just ours"
Itachi smiled. He kissed Sakura's forehead and pulled up a chair.
"You did great" he whispered. She smiled and kissed him.
"We did great" she whispered gesturing towards Akiko. He silently agreed. This was his family. His beautiful wife and his beautiful daughter, Itachi truly was the luckiest man in this world.
