Sitting across from his parents he couldn't help but hate Sakura for leaving him alone on this, but then he recalled she too was having her own discussion with her parents. It had been a few minutes of silence, with his mother looking more concerned as the silence stretched on when she finally spoke, "Sasuke you are scaring us, just tell us what's wrong."
He never thought he would be in this situation, but this needed to be done, for Sarada. "As you both know, Sarada recently turned three." Noticing the worried looks only increased, he quickly added, "she is fine, she isn't sick, and before any of you ask, Sakura and I are not getting a divorce."
His mother sighed in relief, "well that's good, but what is this all about?"
He decided to start once more, "as you know Sarada turned three, and while we appreciate the gift you bought, we cannot accept it."
"Why not?" His father had the audacity to sound offended by his refusal of the gift. "Sarada said she wanted to ride a horse, we bought her a horse, I see nothing wrong with that. Now she can ride one whenever she wishes."
"Like I said we appreciate it, but-"
"Fugaku, I told you we shouldn't have gotten her the horse, they have nowhere for the horse to go, we should have bought her that farm, she could have as many horses as she wants." Sasuke could feel his jaw dropping at his mother's words, a farm for a three year old? How was that fair? He and Itachi couldn't even get a cat, when they were teenagers!
He didn't hear more of what his parents were discussing, they were whispering but his mother's eyes told him it was not going as he intended. "Since the problem is nowhere for the horse, we will buy her that farm, problem solved." His parents looked ridiculously proud of themselves, he hated to burst their bubble, okay so he didn't hate to burst it, he was just kind of afraid they would ground him somehow.
"That is not the problem," before giving them a chance to fix the problem themselves he went on, "you spoil her too much." His parents shocked and offended expressions told him they needed to gather their thoughts, he took advantage and continued, "Sarada is three, before she mentioned anything about riding a horse, she said she wanted to ride a dinosaur. Besides, there is something else you need to know, the only times she calls you Grandmama and Grandpapa is when she wants something. She does this to Sakura's parents as well." It was the grandmama and grandpapa, that told Sasuke and Sakura that they needed to put a stop to all this.
"Sarada would never do that, she is such a sweet little girl."
"At home, she refers to you as grandmother, and to father as grandfather, she is fooling both of you." They looked so sad for a second that Sasuke almost took pity on them, "look we do appreciate the things you get her, but you do overdo it, we cannot keep the horse, or the farm, and yes I know you bought it already, Itachi told me. Also, no more wild animals, if Sarada wants to see an animal just take her to the zoo like normal grandparents."
The silence stretched on, and he wondered how Sakura's talk with her parents was going, but decided the hardest conversation was yet to come, and pushed his concern for Sakura to the back of his mind. "Now, if you'll excuse me, Sakura and I need to have a talk with Itachi about a similar problem."
