The Uzumaki's

Chapter Six: The Uzumaki's 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The holidays were fast approaching, and the temperature was dropping every day more and more. As November hit, the whole city transformed overnight into an area full of twinkling lights and soft powder snow. Christmas trees weren't up yet but they were just around the corner.

Itachi stood in front of the pane of glass overlooking the streets below. The workday had just ended, and the majority of the staff had left. He'd already started making a mental list of the gifts he'd have to purchase. His youngest son was born this year and he owed it all to his mate. Deidara, the love of his life, had given him 2 perfect angels. Well, the older was starting to get a wild streak for a 3-year-old. He needed to give Deidara a gift that showed the utter devotion he had for his mate. Maybe mother would have some ideas, father always doted on her.

Sasuke tapped the door and drew Itachi's attention, "Nii-san, you ready to go?"

Itachi wordlessly nodded and followed him out.

Tonight, they would be visiting their parents for dinner and deciding what they will be doing for Thanksgiving. Every couple of years their father took their mom for a romantic 2 weeks abroad. They would let them know ahead of time, so they could plan accordingly. If that wasn't the case, they would decide who would host this year's Thanksgiving.

Deidara was sitting with their infant, Riku, at the breakfast table when they made their way in. Itachi leaned over and gave him a kiss with a 'my love' and then kissed the baby's head who gave him an adorable drooling smile in return. "Where's Reo?"

"Your son is being a terror, so I sent him to bother your dad. Hey Sasu."

"Hey Dei, hi baby brat." Sasuke sat opposite to him after he poked Riku's chubby cheek.

"Where's mom?"

"She went to get her tablet. Your dad is taking her abroad."

As if she was called, Mikoto walked in wearing a soft lavender cashmere sweater and cream lounge pants, carrying her tablet.

"You're here!" She gave each of her sons a kiss on the cheek and sat down next to Deidara. "Deidara is right! Your father won't tell me where though. I'm so excited."

"You look very giddy, mom," Sasuke smirked at her joy.

She placed her hands on the table and gave them all a look, "I am! Now, what will you all be doing for Thanksgiving?"

"Since you guys won't be here, I can ask my cousins if they're doing something. You can come with us Sasu."

"Sounds cool." Deidara's family or a peaceful night at home? Home wins.

"It's settled! Itachi, help me make dinner." Mikoto led Itachi to the fridge and had him start cutting vegetables to make a stew, like a dutiful assistant.

Sasuke's phone started ringing and he saw Naruto was calling.

Oh shit oh shit.

He shot a quick glance around the table and noticed everyone was distracted so he made his way to his old room. After the dinner at his house, they'd been texting frequently which was saying something as they already had texted a good amount. But now sometimes he would get video messages and that always plastered a stupid smile on his face without fail.

He answered before it went to voicemail, "Hey."

"Hi! Did I catch you at a bad time? What are you doing?"
