Note: Not the best but I'm trying to get back to it and finish the rest of the endings. I hope you guys continue to enjoy them! 

---

Some people do not say how they feel, they find it difficult to do so. However, it is easier to express said feelings through actions. Itachi was one of those people, he preferred to show you that he loved you by his actions. It didn't matter how small these actions were, but every single one of them were filled with warmth and love. 

Despite at first thinking that this relationship wouldn't work, you found yourself slowly falling in love with him. The two of you knew eachother, but there was this side of Itachi that he did not show you before and for obvious reasons.

He always thought of his younger brother before putting himself first. He suppressed his feelings for you so that you would take his brother into consideration. Now, now he wasn't holding back, he was determined to make you fall in love with him. 

A smile reached your lips as your eyes scanned the kitchen, to see several plates of food here and there. All of them resembled your favorite meal, but you knew that he wasn't done. No, he would only stop until he had it perfected. This wasn't the first time he did this, as soon as the two of you became an romantically involved, he became in charged of preparing your favorite meals. 

"Itachi?" Taking a seat, you questioned and you thought that with how concentrated he was at the task at hand, he wouldn't be able to hear you. But, he did and he pulled away from the stove for a few seconds to kiss you then returned to back. 

"Just a moment and I'll have your meal," his voice, how much you came to love the sound of his voice, at how filled it was with emotion and it made your heart skip a beat.

"I appreciate it b-" but the male did not let you finish as he grabbed a clean plate and placed the finished meal on it, then walked to the table and placed it on front of you.

After placing the plate in front of you, he took a seat opposite you and just smiled. He smiled and it softened his eyes so much. "It is no trouble, you're tired from work and also the treatment."

But even so, he was also tired specially since he just returned from a mission. The smell of the meal reached your nose and it was hard to stop your stomach from grumbling. But your hunger could wait, what you had to tell Itachi could not. 

The truth was, you haven't felt very well, and since Itachi went with you to all the sessions for your treatment, you made an appointment without telling him. You were worried that the treatment wasn't working, and you did not want to make him worry. 

Instead of eating, you covered your face as tears began to trail down your cheeks. You had controlled yourself as you came back home. "[Name], what wrong?" Itachi asked softly as he rushed to your side and hug you. He noticed how your body shook with your cries and he couldn't understand what or who would make you cry. If it was someone, he'll...Have a talk with them later. 

"I," you tried to speak, "the treatment worked." Itachi froze, but you didn't seem to notice and instead moved away from his grasp to look at him. But he was frozen in place, and at first you must have assumed that it was out of shock...but then your smile, that smile that he loved, vanished from your face. "Oh." You began to pull back, pain flashed across your face as you tried to move away from him, and Itachi was still in so much shock that he didn't stop you. "I thought..."

He was so afraid, he was just so afraid. "I..." Tears began to flow out of the corners of his face and this time he took a seat as he began looked at the ground. His lips opened and then closed a few times before he spoke, he raised his gaze and offered a smile. The smile was sincere but it was accompanied by something else. "Its a blessing," Itachi stared at you, your crying had stopped as you  rushed to his side."But I'm so scared."

"Why?" You asked softly, as you placed your hand on his shoulder.Why would Itachi feel so afraid? And of a pregnancy? 

Itachi turned to face you, but his gaze wasn't on your face but on your stomach. His hands raised so that he could place them on your belly, where his future sons or daughters would be until they were ready to meet the world. "The world isn't..."

Then it hit you like a ton of bricks. Itachi was afraid of the world that your future children would have to face. He didn't have a great life, life wasn't so kind to him. He was forced to kill his people and his family, fuel Sasuke's anger to make him strong so that he could survive. He was afraid, and he didn't want a future like that for his children. He didn't want them to live through wars, and possibly take part of them. He did not wish an ugly world for his kids, for them to suffer.  

You placed your fingers under his chin and lifted his head up so that he could see you. You smiled, your heart melting under his gaze. Itachi was a gift to the world, a heart of gold. "The world is what we make of it. We'll both work hard to make them a world full of peace, a place where they can live happy. We have each other, as long as we are together there is no one who will hurt..." You placed your other hand on your stomach. "Our children."

It wasn't the he was not happy, how could he not be happy? To have the woman who saved him, the woman who offered happiness ok a platter, at his side. The woman who would be the mother of his children, HIS children. The thought, the images of kids running around, playing, softened his eyes. Slowly, he placed his arms around you and tugged you forward. 

He buried his face on your stomach, mostly to muffle his sobs. He was afraid, yes, but those tears were not of fear but his happiness. "Thank you," he pulled away, a few years at the corners of his eyes were visible. He continued to pull away, only for him to stand up, place his hands on your face. "Thank you for everything," the made uttered as he kissed you tenderly. 

The world was filled with horrors, but with the two of you, you both could shape it into the world he once wished to see. For you, and for his children. That, that was his greatest goal.
