I swear, I'm on a roll! I got over 1500 words in for this chapter the day after I posted chap 9. The proposal got me so excited!! Hope you like this chapter!

"I don't know, Itachi. What you said... it hurt. I never expected you to say anything like that... at least not to me. You told me," I took a deep breathe trying to keep myself from crying. "You told me I wasn't a part of this family. Right now, I feel like I don't belong anywhere." I closed my eyes as I felt my tears spill over. He got up off the bed and walked silently to me. He put his hands on my upper arm and pressed his soft lips to my forehead.

"Don't ever feel that way," He whispered, lips never leaving my forehead. "Your part of this family, no one can change that. I know, this is really bad timing, my parents just passing. Don't think that I'm going into depression and just think I need someone by me all the time but," He dug into his pocket and pulled something out. I stared at him as he got down to the floor on one knee.

"Itachi," I whispered, more tears falling.

"We're young, I know. But we can make it, Yuki. I want you to be by my side for the rest of our lives. You mean the world to me and I can't live without you so," He grabbed my left hand. "Yukiko Takahashi, I would be honored if you would give me your hand in marriage." I placed my right hand over my mouth to hold in a sob. I nodded my head, which was all I could do at the moment. He slid the ring on my fourth finger. It was beautiful. It had a ruby in the center of a gold band with one smaller diamond on each side. Uchiha family colors. He stood up and placed his muscular arms around my waist.

"You just made me the happiest man in Konoha." He said before he firmly placed his lips on mine. It was the most romantic moment we've ever shared. He pulled away and we just looked at each for what seemed like forever.

"Come back to my room?" He asked.

"Of course," I smiled as we walked hand in hand back to his bedroom. I'll get my other belongings later. I'm kind of in a high place right now. I just got proposed to!!

The next few days went slow but fast at the same time. We planned the funeral for Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha and it was on the Thursday of the same week. It was a sad day. They would both be greatly missed. It rained that day, as if the heavens were crying for the loss also. Everyone tried to comfort Itachi and Sasuke, them being the most affected. Everyone had came back to the compound and we shared stories. They were really funny. Some people cried a little more during it. After everyone left, I started cleaning up and put all the dishes in the sink while Itachi put Sasuke and Naruto in bed. We weren't that much worried about Yukio right now. He got his own place here and was guarded by Anbu 24/7. I started washing them and about half way through, Itachi came up behind me and put his arms around my waist.

"Today was tough," He said resting his head on my shoulder. I took a towel and dried my hands off when I was finished and turned in his arms.

"Yea, but I'm proud of you." He pressed his lips lightly against mine. His tongue swiped along my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I parted my lips, giving him what he wanted. The kiss got a little more heated. His hands sunk down to grab my butt and pull me closer to him. He pressed harder against me and I felt myself heat up. I felt my lips bruise from the rough kiss, but I liked it. He left my mouth and kissed along my throat down to my collar bone, where he knew my spot was. I let out a moan as he sucked and nibbled on the spot he was proud to find.

"Itachi," I took the holder out of his hair and twisted my fingers in it. He pulled back and looked at me, eyes filled with lust and searching for it in mine. I felt myself turn even more red. I never did anything like this before. I had never had the chance to have the talk with my mom, so I didn't know much. I mean sure, I know where babies come from and all the basics, but I didn't know exactly what to do. He kissed me one more time, more gentle this time, trying to reassure me that it would be alright. He led me upstairs to his room and locked the door behind us...

Itachi's P.O.V.

Last night was amazing.

Yuki and I waited to share that moment together. I always tried to imagine what it would be like, my first time and everything. I would have never imagined it being so.. magical. I was the first to wake up that morning. Yuki's face looked so.. peaceful as she slept. I was proud to call her my fiancee. My fiancee. It sounded.. right. Like it was meant to be. She finally awaken from her slumber and smiled at at me with her eyes half open.

"Good morning," She said stretching. She stretched out her neck and I felt my self smirk. She had at least 4 hickeys. And that's not including the one's you see going lower. Although, I plan on being the only one to see them.

"You plan on wearing a turtle neck today?"

"It's 90 degrees outside. Why would do that?" She asked me as she turned on her side to face me.

"To cover up all those hickeys on your neck." She stared at me and then jumped out the bed, taking the sheet with her. She examined her neck in the mirror.

"Itachi Uchiha! I can't go out like this! Your so going down." She said that as she walked over to me. She jumped on top of me and used that insane strength to pin me to the bed. She leaned down and started sucking and biting on my neck and my collar bone. She was good. She pulled back and examined my neck. She had a satisfied look on her face.

"There. We're even." She smirked at me. I felt her pull her chakra back from her hands and I flipped us over. I heard her giggle from under me before I planted my lips on hers. I felt her smile against my lips. We were truely happy. I pulled back and rested my forehead against hers.

"I love you."

"I love you too. Now and forever." Just then, there was a knock on the door. I jumped up and put on some sweat pants and I threw Yuki a t-shirt. Once Yuki had it on, I went to the door and saw Sasuke and Naruto standing there with worried looks on their faces.

"What's the matter guys?" I asked letting them in. They sat on the bed and stared at Yuki.

"Are you ok, Okaa-san?" Naruto asked her.

"We heard thuds last night and you screaming. We thought you were dead." She covered her mouth and her face turned tomatoe red. I couldn't help but smile at her face.

"I-I'm fine, guys. Thanks for checking on me. I'll be down in a minute to fix breakfast. Alright?" They nodded and headed out the room. Yuki was still blood red when they left.

"I can't believe they heard that!" She said and I came over and hugged her. She buried her head in my chest so I wouldn't see her blush.

"I can. You were pretty loud last night." She pulled back and punched my arm. I pretended that it hurt and grabbed my arm.

"Ow! That really hurt!" I said with a pouting look. She pecked my lips and apologized. She then sniffed the air and scrunched up her face.

"Ew. Itachi, we stink."

"Then lets go take a shower." I said pulling her up with me and throwing her over my shoulder.

"Itachi! Put me down! I can walk!"

"I don't care. I like the view." I pinched her butt and I knew she was blushing. I couldn't help but smirk.

Yuki's P.O.V.

Itachi is such a perv but, he made showering way more fun. After I actually got the chance to wash myself, I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a baby t-shirt. I left so Itachi could get dressed and went downstairs to fix breakfast. I kissed them both on the forehead and told them good morning.

"You guys want to help me fix breakfast?" I asked.

"Yeah!" They exclaimed I put them both on the counter. I gave them each a bowl.

"You," I said standing in front of Sasuke. "Are going to help me with the pancakes." I said taking some of the powder and putting a little on his nose. I stood in front of Naruto. "And you are going to help me with the eggs." Naruto cracked a bunch of eggs in the bowl and added cheese, salt and pepper to it just like I told him to. Sasuke mixed all the right stuff and the right amount. They are very smart eight year olds. I just had the heat the pan and cook the stuff. We were finishing up just as Itachi was coming downstairs. Naruto and Sasuke sat at the table while they waited for their food. I made a plate for everyone and we ate and talked. This felt nice. Like this was our own family. I squeezed Itachi's hand under the table and smiled at him. He smiled back and started rubbing my hand with his thumb. Just then, someone knocked on the door. I got up to answer.

"Ayame!" I exclaimed hugging my best friend. She worked at the ramen shop with her father.

"I have today off and just thought I would stop by. Besides, I had to make sure you and Itachi were being safe." She said and winked at me. I slightly punched her arm with my left hand.

"Ow! What the heck was that!" She said grabbing my hand. I realized I hadn't informed her about my engagement. She stared wide eyed at the gorgeous ring on my finger.

"Don't tell me..." She trailed off. I nodded happily and she took me into a bear hug. "Your getting married! I'm so happy for you!" I had the biggest grin on my face. Just thinking about how Itachi proposed to me made me almost giddy.

"Come in, come in. I just fixed breakfast and have some left over if you would like some." We walked into kitchen where Itachi started washing the dishes for me. I kissed him on the cheek and said a small thank you.

"It's ok, Yuki. I ate before I came. So, when's the wedding?" We all sat down at the table and Sasuke and Naruto went in the living room to play.

"We haven't decided yet. I would like it to be kind of soon." I said smiling and tucking some hair behind my left ear. I felt another tinge of pink on my cheeks as we talked about the wedding. Itachi got up after awhile and I looked up at him with a questioning look.

"I'll be back soon. I'm going to go brag to Kakashi about the engagement. I'll be back soon, love." He said gently kissing my forehead and leaving out the house. I sighed contently and almost forgot Ayame was there.

"You guys are just adorable. I wish I had a boyfriend like Itachi. You better be careful or I might have to steal him away." She winked at me. We both laughed and caught up for a bit.

"Tell me about how he proposed!" I looked down at my ring and played with it.

"Well, we had just found out his parents had passed and I was trying to comfort him. He got mad, which I can understand, and said I didn't know how he felt. I told him that I didn't and what I went through was worse. I had went upstairs and moved most of my stuff out of his room so I could stay in the guest room. I had went to take a shower and when I came back, he was sitting on my bed. He apologized and said he meant none of the things he said and he just proposed." I explained to her looking at my ring the whole time, the scene coming into my head. I felt a smile play across my lips.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I was incapable of speech at that moment, I was crying so hard. I nodded and that was it. It was the best night of my life. Well, besides last night." I said, my cheeks burning crimson red.

"You didn't!" Ayame exclaimed with a shocked expression.

"We did. He claimed me last night, as I did him." I feel like I took a vacation to cloud 9 and don't plan on leaving anytime soon!

"That explains it. Your glowing! Have you told Sasuke and Naruto about the engagement yet?"

"No," I sighed. "We plan on doing it this afternoon. I hope they take it well."

"They should. They adore you! Sasuke would love you to be his big sister and Naruto would love Itachi to be his..." She didn't know what exactly to call him.

"Dad. I took responsibility for Naruto and he calls me Okaa-san." I smiled.

"You know, your really responsible for a 16 year old. Yet, you still know how to have fun!" I smiled at her. We both headed into the living room to make sure Naruto and Sasuke were ok. We talked for about another hour before she had to go. Itachi came home about 15 minutes after she had left. He sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He kissed my cheek before I leaned on his shoulder as we watched the kids play.

This all seemed to good to be true.
