Y/N was mumbling under her breath to the baby, humming a sweet tune as she rocked him. Sarada was folded in on herself in the chair as she watched the two of them on the bed. Artemis had his bottle in his hand, his eyelids fluttering as he listened to the two women talk. "Yeah, he's an asshole." Sarada huffed, pulling the blanket up to her chin as she fought to get comfortable on the couch chair.
"You wanna switch, babe?" Y/N chuckled, Artemis drinking as Y/N assisted her. "It doesn't look very comfortable."
"No." Sarada giggled. "But I told mom I'd watch over you, and I don't break a promise. Even if my stupid father does." Sarada huffed, fighting with the pillow now. "It's so itchy!"
"Get in my bed." Y/N laughed, pointing to the bottom of the bed. "It's a family bed so there's way more room." She assured her, scooting over so that Sarada would have more room. "The kids are with the babysitter, so they'll be fine for a night." Y/N smiled at the girl. Sarada nodded, jumping immediately into the bed. She had a lot more room, stretching out as she laughed. "Where's your mom going?"
"Well, I think she's way more concerned with where Papa went." Sarada yawned. "He disappeared yesterday. He busted out a window and just poofed." Sarada huffed. "He's not home, he's not at Uncle Naruto's where he almost always is, and he's not at the Hokage tower either." Sarada pouted, punching her pillow. "Where else could he go?"
"I don't know, Sarada." Y/N said softly. "Sasuke will come back after he's worked off the steam. Your father has always been like that."
"Yeah but.. I don't know." Sarada crossed her arms. "He's always been a jerk but normally he doesn't take it to that level. It's just scary to watch." She pouted, rolling over. Y/N chuckled, nodding. "I mean you must know that."
"I mean, that was the worst fight we ever had, but I'm not exactly mad at him. Would I kill him if I get the chance, okay I think I may be mad." Y/N said lightly, Sarada giggling. "But I'd rather him come back and work things out. Your father and I have always been besties, and we certainly fight like them."
"I mean yeah." Sarada giggled, getting comfortable in the blankets. Artemis's hand reached up to cup Y/N's face. "Uncle Naruto said I'm not a lot to tell anyone what happened, even Boruto. I always tell him everything." Sarada stretched out, yawning. "He wouldn't believe me anyway, he just adores him." Y/N gave her a soft nod. "But why can't we tell anyone?"
"Because your father is a stupid idiot." Y/N yawned herself, lightly brushing her nose against the baby's nose. Artemis's eyes were fully closed now, laying on his back as he snored slightly. "And Uncle Naruto will do anything to protect him. This isn't the first time he's had to cover something up like that." Y/N muttered, rolling her eyes. "But don't blame him too harshly. He didn't have a good childhood. "He gets very upset when things don't go his way, and sometimes he can't control the way he gets mad. We've been trying to help him since he was a boy."
"But he knows what he's doing. He's always a jerk to mom too. I can't even remember him holding me when I was a kid." Sarada muttered. "I just remember mom being there, and you." Sarada gave her a small smile. "But I barely remember him. Mom says he was there, but then he left for years. He only recently came back." Sarada huffed, crossing her arms. "He's a jackass."
"He is." Y/N said with a small smile. "Sometimes people can't cope with trauma, you know?" Y/N said aloud, propping a pillow on Aretemis's other side. "And sometimes you find ways to cope, and when those coping don't work or disappear, you have to understand that things can get darker for some people. However, it's important to find the light." Y/N smiled, kissing Artemis on the cheek. His little mouth opened, yawning as he fell into deep sleep. "Your father just has trouble seeing the light sometimes."
