Chapter 17: I love you's

She had packed a mini duffel bag as Itachi looked around her room.

Sakura left the room grabbing her tooth brush and hair brush out from the bathroom down the hall.

Itachi looked around her room and surprised to find it was like a little girls room...the walls were a bright yellow, the window frames and trimming were all were light green, she had picture frames hanging on the walls and sitting on top of her dresser and desk. The pictures had a bunch of Ino and Sakura as children, some had Sakura in a short figure skaters outfit holding a trophy, others had a man and a women smiling and holding a pink bundle of blankets.

"My parents." Sakura said peering over his shoulder.

Itachi looked from Sakura to the young couple. The women had brown eyes and red hair, the man had a white-ish color hair with emerald eyes...if you looked at Sakura and the young couple you could see, with out a doubt, she was their daughter. She had her fathers eyes, her mothers features, and her hair was a mix of both.

Itachi was thinking of something to say. "Your mothers beautiful."

Sakura smiled. "Yeah, she was!" Sakura turned back to what she was doing.

It was silent, Sakura didn't mind but Itachi felt awkward. "So..."

Sakura snorted. "You don't have to say anything."

"I know, I just don't like the silents." He sat on the edge of her bed.

Sakura smiled. "So, what do you think about this weather?"

Itachi shot her a dirty look. "Very funny, haha."

Sakura smiled again. "I thought so...what do you want to talk about?"

Itachi thought for a minute. "Where do you want to live?"

Sakura smiled. "I like living here, I love this city." Sakura thought for a minute. "How many kids would you want to have?"

Itachi was surprised by this question but answered, Sakura's back was to him so he couldn't see the fine blush that covered her face. "Three or four."

"How many boys or how many girls?"

"Two boys and a little girl, that way she will be the most beautiful little angel...and the boys will take over the business once I retire." He answered.

Sakura nodded. "That sounds good, but why not two girl and one boy?" She asked sitting beside him on her bed, her blush now faded.

"Why not two boys and one girls?"

Sakura smiled. "Because girls are so much better then boys, girls kick ass!" She said jumping up, grabbing her stuff, and walked out of her room.

Itachi smiled and followed after her, Itachi walked out the open door, shutting behind himself and watched as Sakura climbed into his car. He quickly followed, putting the key in the ignition and drove down the road.

Sakura was messing with the radio, when she put in on a country station. She started sing to Carrie Underwood's 'So small'.

He thought it was ironic, the song related to him more then he liked to admit...he pushed the thoughts aside and listened to Sakura sing the song, she had a beautiful voice he realized. He parked outside his house and grabbed her bag out of her lap and got out of his car, Sakura doing the same.

"This is beautiful!" She commented, looking up at the pail burgundy color, two story house.

"Thank you." Itachi said leading her up the sidewalk into the house.

"Wow!" She whispered.

The front door opened to the living room, the walls were a darker burgundy with dark cherry wood floors. The kitchen was medium size, the walls were a pail yellow with the same dark cherry wood floors. Dinning room was the same as the kitchen. Then there was the study...several, tall, oak book shelf's, a fire place, and a desk in the corner...Sakura swore she had died and was now in her dream home.

"Do you like it?" Itachi asked looking from her and around the house.

"I love this house," She said excitedly. "I'm going to raise my family in a house like this one!"

Itachi loved the sound of that. "Great idea."

Sakura smiled. "What's up stairs?"

Itachi smiled. "Up stairs?"

"Are your chambers up there?" She asked jokingly.

"I'm not aloud to say." Itachi smiled as Sakura was practically begging with her eyes to be aloud to explore.

"Come on!" Itachi said leading her up the stairs and through the rest of the house. He walked down the hall, on his right was one bathroom, on the left is a spare bedroom, it's walls were white, and Sakura mentally painted them pink or blue. Then down the hall a little more was another spare bedroom it's walls were the same, Sakura thought it was perfect, the two boys can share the last room and the two girls can share this room.

"Sakura?" Itachi sounded concerned.

"What, oh, sorry I was just thinking!" She smiled and looked down the hall to the last room. "Is that your room?"

"Yes, it is." He lead her to the last door and opened it.

It was the master bedroom, the walls were a very dark red, the floor was a dark color carpet, the bed had black and grays. "A little depressing." She said walking in and sitting on the bed.

Itachi snorted and sat beside her. "Yes, it is...I'm going to hire someone to repaint it."

"What color?"

"Well, I was thinking maybe a cream color, then pull up the carpet so the original light oak floor would match the walls."

Sakura smiled and lay back on his bed. "That sounds nice."

Itachi lay beside her. "Really?"

"Absolutely." She turned on her side and smiled down at him.

Itachi smiled back, he raised his hand to rest on the back of Sakura's neck, pulling her down, he pressed his lips to hers.

-With Itachi-

Her lips were so soft, so warm, so very inviting. He smirked against her lips when she didn't pull away, if fact she leaned into it.

To soon for Itachi's liking she pulled away to whisper something in his ear, then jump up and ran out of his room.

Thinking over what she said, he realized she had said. 'Follow me!'

Itachi got off his bed then walked down the hall slowly, trying to find Sakura. He was surprised when she reached out from one of the spare bedrooms, grabbed his arm, and pulled him into the room. "What?" He asked worried.

"Picture it in your mind," She let go of his arm and walked further into the room. "Blue or green walls, a fuzzy carpet, two small beds on ether side of the room, both containing a little boy," Her hands rested over her heart. "And down the hall are the little girls, pink or yellow walls..." She trailed off letting Itachi's mind make out the rest.

Sakura sighed deeply, Itachi waked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "You know, you talk like we're married," Sakura shrugged. "But I like it, it sound beautiful." He whispered in her ear then nuzzled her neck.

Sakura giggled. "Well, I just thought I'd share my dream with you."

"I'm glad you did, I love your dreams."

"I love your house."

Itachi smiled. "I love you!" He realized he had just confused his deepest feelings and was now beyond worried, what she didn't feel the same way, what if she never talked to him again?

Sensing his dismay Sakura smiled and turned in his arms. "I love you too!" She said kissing him again.

Itachi's stomach did a flip, his entire body was on fire...she loved him too...SHE LOVED HIM TOO! Itachi grabbed her waist and picked her up doing a small spin, Sakura giggled like crazy. "Who knew that three simple words could make the Itachi Uchiha act like a teenage boy again!"

Itachi smiled and pecked her on the lips again. "Three simple words that have been tormenting me forever!" He kissed her again.

Sakura full out laughed at him this time. "So, two boys two girls, two boys one girl, or two girls one boy?"

Itachi smiled and shrugged. "Which ever is fine with you, love!" He put her down. "I need to get something!" He was a little panicked.

"What is it?" She asked following him out of the spare bedroom and back into his room. He opened his closet and dug through a small box, he seemed to find what he was looking for because he set the box aside and approached Sakura again.

"Okay," Itachi took a deep breath then let it out slowly, he held out his hand, Sakura took it without hesitation. "Sakura..." He opened his other hand and held out a ring to Sakura, it was simple, a white gold ring with a small diamond embedded in it.

Sakura was smiling and nodding before Itachi could finish what he was asking...which was good, he didn't think he would survive through it. Itachi smiled and slid the ring onto her left ring finger.

He hugged her to tightly he was afraid he would crush her.

"Wait, don't you think we're doing this a little quick?" Sakura asked, smile wavering.

Itachi thought for a minute. "Only if you think we are...the wedding could be next year if you wanted it to be."

Sakura thought for a minute. "No, this feels so right, and I love you, and...when do we tell your parents?"

Itachi thought for a minute, but was cut short when they heard a knock on the front door. Itachi closed his eyes and groaned in annoyance, when he opened them he was surprised to not see Sakura in front of him.

"Itachi," She called from the front door. "It's Mikoto!"

Itachi ran down down the stair to see his mother and Sakura talking about something, Mikoto noticed her sons entrance and patted a seat on the couch beside her. "Come Itachi, I need to ask you and Sakura something." Once Itachi sat, Mikoto got an evil glint in her eye. "So, when can I be expecting grandchildren?"

"Once we're married." Sakura said smiling like a fool as Itachi struggled to keep his face blank.

Mikoto clapped her hands excitedly. "How many?"

"Three or four."

Mikoto hugged Sakura tightly then hugged Itachi. "I'm so happy!" She got up and walked towards the door. "Call me you know the wedding date!" She called over her shoulder before shutting the door behind her.

"That went well!" Sakura said moving so she was sitting on Itachi's lap.

Itachi smiled. "This is going to be interesting." He said before Sakura kissed him.

"Very interesting." She smirked and kissed him again.

A/N...so...their getting married!
