Day Thirteen Treat Yo Self

[A/n: thank you to all the reviews, follows, and faves, keep them coming! Much love always.]

Summary: Sasuke offers to take care of a baby Sarada so Sakura can have her much needed day off.

"You're sure…" she said as he nodded all but pushing her out of their home. "I don't mind staying…"

"I'm sure," he replied baby monitor in hand. "She's sleeping, I'll be fine…" he assured his wife and she stood there shifting on his feet for a long moment before letting out a heavy sigh and kissing him gently.

"Fine but call if you need anything alright?" she asked and he nodded if nothing else but to ease her nerves. Sakura left their home and Sasuke sighed, he had this, he could easily take care of his daughter, how hard could babies be.

He'd later realize that this was what people referred to as foreshadowing.

It was maybe twenty minutes after Sakura left that the monitor started to echo the cries of his waking daughter and Sasuke went in greeting her happily. She didn't however stop crying upon seeing him, it seemed as though it was worse. Sasuke shushed her gently before picking her up from the crib, that seemed to help, her sobs died down until they were sniffles and he gently nuzzled against her face.

"Now, what would you like? Do you want food?" he asked as he carried her out into the kitchen bouncing her gently in one arm while the other prepared a bottle. He offered it to her and she took it with glee, until she didn't. Soon she started crying again and he looked at her confused for a moment.

"What Sarada?" he cooed gently and swore if anyone saw him like this he might actually die. The infant only answered in screaming wales and Sasuke tried burping her, he checked her diaper, nothing seemed to be wrong so he stood there in the kitchen trying to get rid of her cries. He walked outside and she seemed to like being there so they sat on the deck. He sat sideways on it with his legs extended and her happily babbling on her back between them.

Sarada soon ended up falling back asleep and Sasuke sighed, he didn't want to move her, so he was stuck. He slowly moved her so she was laying on her chest content with the happy sleep sounds she was making he laid back on the deck making sure she'd not fall off.

When she woke again it was more crying, her diaper needed changing, more food, and then a little more play. This pattern continued on and off every few hours and Sasuke sighed, it stressed him out, and he wasn't even sure he was confident in changing a diaper anymore.

When Sakura came home she saw them curled up in their bedroom. She smiled happily at the sight and took a picture before lifting up their daughter who gurgled at the sight of her mother. She cooed softly and sat down beside a still sleeping Sasuke before she started feeding her after, she put her in between them and kissed Sasuke gently. He woke up and smiled softly

"How'd it go?"

"I see why you're tired…" was the only reply she got as they fell into a nice nap again. Sakura giggled happily holding Sarada against her chest loosely. She looked over her daughter

"Her diaper is on backwards…" she commented and onyx eyes met her own

"Son of a bitch…" he hissed and then noticed that the cartoon pattern that was supposed to be on the front was in fact, on the back. He grumbled much to Sakura's amusement before she kissed him again.

"Won't be the last time, I'm sure of that" she smiled resting her head on his shoulder

[a/n: little bit of humor little bit of fluff. I really like the idea of Sasuke being left alone with Sarada and then going what do I do…]
