Chapter Sixteen
"Uchiha-sama, are the conditions in the hospital to your liking?" The purple haired girl she learned was named 'Ami' asked her as she fluffed her pillow up and placed it back on Sakura's bed. The red haired girl watched the girl for her answer.
"Yes, I do." Sakura answered as she watched the 2 nurses move about in the room more like a housekeeper than what a nurse would do. "Are you girls Medic nins by any chance?" Sakura asked the two who snapped their heads to look at the rosette girl. They both looked quite surprised by the question and the first one to snap out of the shock was the red haired nurse who answered for both of them.
"No, we're not, Uchiha-sama" The red haired girl named Karin bowed as if to apologize which Sakura halted with the raise of her hand. "We'll try to be better Uchiha-sama" The two said simultaneously.
"No, I had not meant it that way. I was going to offer you girls some training if you allow me too" Sakura smiled warmly at the girls and they looked quite shocked. Uchihas had not related themselves with common people like themselves and they nodded. They both agreed that they liked this new addition to the Uchiha clan. Sasuke waited outside patiently 'til he was ushered back inside by two smiling nurses who seemed in a better mood than when they came in. This girl was changing everyone around her and making them happy, why couldn't she make him happy?
He walked into the room seeing a smiling Sakura. She looked content and she greeted him with a smile, a smile he did not deserve. She had remained kind to him even if he was terrible to her and she had remained trying to help him win back his son even without him asking her. She truly is different maybe that's why she was deemed special by his family, was he the only one who could not see it?
"You truly are something else, aren't you?"Sasuke whispered not knowing Sakura would catch it, she did not know if that was an insult or a compliment.
'What had he meant by being something else? Did he thought I'm crazy or something?' Sakura's mood slowly deteriorated and the warm smile on her face turned to a scowl. Sasuke had noticed the frown upon the girl's face and realized she had just heard what he said and took it the wrong way. He saw her brow furrow as she had not let it go, they sat in uncomfortable silence and with every passing minute he felt as if she was gonna burst.
"I did not mean it in that way" Sasuke said just to put it out there and prevent the girl from going ballistic again like how he witnessed earlier, he concluded stress and unpleasant emotions is not good for recovery.
"In what way did you mean it then, Mr. I-have-a-twenty-foot-pole-up-my-ass?" Sakura blurted out, her emerald eyes widened when she realized she had said it out loud. Sasuke resisted the urge to use Kirin on this bitch but if they were gonna live together and be good parents to Tobi, he had to control his murderous tendencies like how she needed to control her urge to smart mouth him.
"Well, Ms. I-Want-Attention-I-Dyed-My-Hair-Pink, I meant you were different. Not in a good way or not in a bad way" Sasuke smirked at his retort as he watched the girl's face turn red with fury. She was so unhappy that she just settled with huffing and letting their conversation, if you could call that a conversation, die. The two of them had sat in silence again and did their own thing, Sasuke with the staring into space with his chin mounted on the back of his hands and brood while Sakura sat down and fumbled with her fingers.
"It's natural you know" Sakura whispered as she looked up from playing with her fingers to see his face. He looked towards her with a questioning gaze as she uttered the line. "My hair, I meant. I was born with it"
"Pink hair, Seriously?" Sasuke rolled his eyes at Sakura who now fumbled with her hair. Sasuke reached forward to look at it closely and Sakura fought the urge to flinch and to slap his hand away. He furrowed his brows that even her eyelashes were pink. Who the fuck has pink hair? She smiled as he let go of her hair with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Told you so." Sakura said quietly as Sasuke sat himself back down on the chair. The two decided to just stay in silence 'til Tobi arrives since it would be pointless for them to talk since apparently Sasuke preferred to convey message with his chakra and not his mouth. The two sat for the third time in silence as they both occasionally look at the clock wishing it would go faster, the two would steal glances at each other to check out what the other is doing and they'd alternate looking at the door wishing a small boy with striking jade eyes come in and disrupt the pregnant silence they've been in for about an hour now.
The door swung open harshly to reveal a panting little boy with soaked hair that clung on his face in chunks and sweat dripping down his body. Sakura looked at him with concern while Sasuke raised one eyebrow at the little boy who flashed a sweet smile at Sakura. Sasuke scowled seeing that his son has not forgiven him yet and it looks like he wasn't planning on forgiving him.
"Kaa-chan! Tobi's here" The little boy hopped over to Sakura's bedside and plopped himself on her hospital bed. He wrapped his small arms around her and smiled.
"Yes, I can see that baby." Sakura giggled and kissed the top of Tobi's head. She glanced at Sasuke who looked kind of sad in Sasuke's own way of being sad. "Aren't you gonna greet your tou-san?"
"What Tou-san, kaa-chan? Tobi does not have a Tou-san" Tobi huffed and removed his arms from her and folded it in front of his chest. Sakura frowned at the small boy and gave him a disapproving look to which Tobi cringed, he had never made his mother upset.
"Tobi" Sakura said the boy's name as some sort of a warning. Tobi sighed and looked at Sasuke and gave him a wave. Sasuke was quite impressed on how this rosette girl controlled his son's stubborn head which he could never control.
"Good, Now Tobi-chan explain to my why you're all sweaty?" Sakura eyed the boy head to toe and he was soaked in his own sweat.
"Tobi had to go up here using the stairs.." Tobi explained and rubbed his head sheepishly. "Uncle said he'd race me to your room and he's still not here, so Tobi's the winner. Winners are Good boy's right?"
"Yes Tobi, Winners are good boys" Sakura giggled and Sasuke smirked at the little boy's explanation.
"Sakura-chan, I'm glad to see you're okay." Sakura looked at the door and went eye to eye with the visitor, her eyes widened at what she saw.
Author's Note: I've had this chapter ready for 2 days now, but I decided to torture you a little bit. xD Cliffhanger once more. (: Who is this mystery person who visited Sakura? and why does Tobi call him uncle? Sasuke's trying and Sakura's trying to make it work even if they were just gonna try as platonic parents for Tobi, they're going to try to make it work. Read, Review, Favorite and Follow! :D
