We reached our goal people! Although, one was from a girl who was complaining. She didn't say one good thing about my story, and then she goes and puts it on her alert list! What the hell!
"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.
I smiled to myself as I sat in the kitchen, in the dark, stirring a cup of tea i made. I was thinking about when me and Itachi announced our wedding engagement the other day. Everybody had been so happy for us. We told the whole Uchiha clan first, since they had to actually declare Itachi as clan leader, we did it then. They actually weren't surprised. I guess they figured it would happen sooner or later. After the hardest part was done, we figured telling everyone else would be easy. We thought that before the Hokage held a whole town gathering annoucing everything. It was so embarrassing! Apparently, the whole village expected it. The whole rest of the day all we heard was 'Congradulations!' and 'We're so happy for you!' I felt like I was red the whole day. Megumi's reaction was priceless. I like hers the best.
"How the HELL could he choose you over me?! I'm so much better looking!"
"Well, apparently not to him. Sorry sweetie. Better luck next time."
"This is NOT over!" She stomped off and stepped in some dog poo before tripping and falling flat on her ass into a rose bush.
Later that day, while I was doing volunteer work at the hospital, she came in because one of the thorns got stuck. It was absolutely hilarious! The hospital was talking about it for the longest. I took a sip of my tea. That day was the best. I still can't believe it. I'm getting married! I even have my dress already. My friends Ayame, Rei, Mori, and I went shopping last weekend and found the perfect dress. It was a strapeless dress that had a sash around the middle in light blue and was ruffled at the bottom. We pretty much went all out. I had a tiara. It had a flower design and the petals were the same shade of blue as the sash on my dress and so were the earrings and necklace that I bought which had the same design as the tiara. My bridesmaids dresses were all the same light blue. As you can tell, I love that color! They were all different, unique for every person.
Let's start with Ayame's. Hers was strapeless with a bow tied at the side. The bust was embroidered with little silver beads. It was a little simple, but it's what she wanted and it was still gorgeous. She bought a silver clutch with the dress.
Next, Rei. Rei bought a knee length dress. It had vertical folds along the bust of the dress, stopping at the band that was under her breasts. The bottom was layered into three layers. One stopping mid-thigh, the next stopping about 2 inches above her knee, and the last ended at her knee. She was absolutely in love with the dress.
Now, Mori. Her dress was knee length like Rei's. She had thick spaghetti straps with little beads on them. A satin material criss-crossed across her chest and a piece of fabric draped down where they met. Her dress was nice and simple, so we bought her a diamond bracelet to wear.
Flower girls. I chose Sakura and Hinata as mine. Their dress was like mine, it just had spaghetti straps. Their sash had a flower design across it too. They would be carrying a white basket that had light blue bows tied to the bottom of each side of the handle. There will be light blue rose petals inside. I was thinking about everything, when I heard something creak on the stairs.
"Mommy..?" It was Naruto. I looked at the clock on the microwave. It's two thirty in the morning! What is he doing up?
"Something wrong?" I asked as he walked over to me and I picked him up.
"Are you and Daddy really going to have a baby?"
"Most likely Naruto. Does that bother you?"
"Well, if you have a baby, will you forget about me?" Even in the dark, I could see fresh tears brimming his eyes. I wiped my thumbs over his eyes to wipe the tears away.
"Never, Naru-chan. I could never forget about my first little boy." I smiled at him and he smiled back. He laid his head against my chest and after a minute, I heard his breathing even out telling me he was asleep. I scooped him up and carried him upstairs to his room. I pulled the covers back and set him in his bed. I tucked him in and kissed his forehead before going back to my room. I rested my head on Itachi's chest and he wrapped his arm around me, instinctively. I can't wait until I can call him my husband...
Invitations.
There are so many.
I don't understand why we couldn't just make an anouncement to the whole village. Pretty much all of them were invited! The only people not invited are fans, and sure, they may take up a lot of the population but it's still a lot of people! I'm just glad I didn't have to write out the whole invitation. I just had to put them envelopes, put the name of the recipient, and send it to them.
Easy enough, right?
Wrong. Their were a hundred invitations! At the least!
You are cordially invited to
celebrate the wedding of
Itachi Uchiha
and
Yukiko Takahashi
On Saturday afternoon
July the 26th
At two o'clock
At the Uchiha family garden
Followed by a reception inside
The invitations were really nice. The letters were, you guessed it, light blue on white paper. It had a bow at the top that was light blue with silver trimming. They were adorable! I've been working at these for an hour. I'm on number ninety-seven. Finally. I finally enclosed the last invitations in envelopes and wrote the names of the people on the envelopes. I piled them up and got ready to go.
"Can we help, mommy?" Sasuke asked as I slid on my shoes.
"Sure, sweetie." I grabbed the invitations and we left out. We made it through town passing out invitation after invitation. Itachi had a quick mission this morning so it was just me and the boys. I saw Sakura and her mom over by the flower shop and got a smile on my face.
"Sasuke, can you go give this to Saku for me?" Sasuke looked up and his cheeks turned a light pink. He nodded and took the invitation before taking it over to the little pink haired girl. He handed it to her and told her something and she smiled at him. She took the invitation and gave it to her mom.
"Thank you, dear. Tell her we'll be there." She smiled at him. He smiled back and hugged Sakura, to her surprise, and ran back over to us. We continued our day of handing out invitations and getting a few instant R.S.V.P.'s. We were down to our last invitation, the Hyuga's. I smiled down at Naruto and handed him the invitation.
"Now it's your turn. Will you go give this to Hina for me?" They came shopping with us, and developed nicknames with me and my friends along the way. Naruto blushed darker than Sasuke did. He took the invitation and stumbled his way over to Hinata, who was sitting outside the compound entrance with her father drinking tea. He was so cute when he was nervous! When he handed her the invitation, more like shoved it at her, he bowed his head slightly, hiding his blush. She blushed beat red and kissed his cheek and thanked him for the invite. I smiled. Am I good or what!
We walked back to the Uchiha compound, finally finished with invites and such. They were both complaining about how bad their feet hurt. I sighed and shook my head slightly. Boys and complaining go together like Kiba and Akamaru. Can't have one without the other. I put the key in the door, turning it to the left before we all stepped inside the house.
"Daddy!" They both yelled running over to Itachi. I'm really surprised how well they took to this. I can understand Sasuke, Itachi was his older brother and I was always around since he was little, but, Naruto? It took a minute for me to get where I am with him but he took an instant liking to Itachi. It kind of made me jealous. But I don't need to worry about that. We're all together, healthy and happy. What else can I ask for?
"Don't just stand there, mommy! Give him a kiss!" I smiled down at both of them before walking over to him and wrapping my hands around his neck.
"I missed you," I whispered against his lips. He ran his hands along my sides and I fought back a moan.
"I missed you too. More than you think."
"Gross! That's enough!" Naruto exclaimed, grinning ear to ear but scrunching up his nose. I laughed and smiled down at him before he jumped in my arms and Sasuke to Itachi. Just a few more days... I can wait that long as long as I have them all wait with me.
And... SCENE!!! Thank you, thank you! Oh stop it, your embarrassing me! *crickets* Who told you to stop! Haha. Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Read and review for me peeps!
