The rest of the meeting went smoothly.
After giving them back to their parents, the Hokage and her parents talked. She wasn't sure about what, but from their tones and body language it was important. They seemed to come to an agreement, and the four walked the Hokage to the door. He patted her and Sasuke on the head with a fond smile and made his way out of the street. Her father carried both of them proudly.
While ridiculously happy it went so well, she was tired and missed her warm pillow. She was also worried about Itachi. He had started his first day at the academy and would graduate in a year.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried.
So while Sasuke slept heavily(it had been a long day) She stayed up for a bit longer and worried. She wanted to wait until Itachi got home.
Thus commenced the battle between her and her eyelids. The rotating cats winked in and out of sight. Sasuke's steady breathing and the gentle breeze were a serious challenge. But when she felt his familiar faint Chakra appearing on the edge of her admittedly small range, she smiled happily and turned into Sasuke, who shifted in response. She sank quickly into a half aware state, in awe of the extreme toasty comfort of the crib and her twin.
She didn't notice the door opening and closing, or the person watching them until something leaned over and kissed Sasuke on the cheek.
Her eyes fluttered open.
The person moved from Sasuke to her and she found herself reflected in a pair dark eyes hovering above her. Breath that smelled like sweets fanned over her face as Itachi leaned over to kiss her too. She closed one eye as a stand of hair escaped his loosening ponytail.
He seemed exhausted from his first day at the academy. His eye lines seemed just a bit deeper. She reached up clumsily and tugged on the strand when he tried to move away. She didn't want him to go!
He smiled tiredly and wrapped her smaller, chubbier, hand in his and gentle pulled her off. So she pulled out her trump card.
Sniffling loudly, she enjoyed the panicked look on his face as he glanced at the sleeping Sasuke.
He eased his arms under her floppy body and lifted her aginest his chest. He murmured softly to her about his day. She heard some familiar terms, like 'sensei' and 'Izumi', and she felt him untense and relax as he spoke of his day.
Eventually, she was rocked to sleep as he moved his arms and spoke in a low tenor voice.
Birds chirped outside the window before they were chased away from cat summons, squawking loudly. But that's not what woke her up. A index finger was poking her cheeck and cooing even louder than her mother.
She snuffed and held her arms against her chest. Sasuke yawned and shifted to the side.
Itachi's exasperated and protective voice rang out, telling this new person to back off.
She blinked her eyes open and the voice cooed even louder. She should probably see who this was. She opened her eyes to the one who was pivotal to saving the Uchiha clan.
She was so shocked she started choking and coughing.
Itachi worriedly picked her up and patted her back as she coughed on his shoulder.
Shisui worried in the back round and she sent a reassuring gummy smile back at him. She was going to wrap him around her pinkie finger.
