Chapter 2:

Author Chan is here with some goodies. Enjoy peeps❤️

Sakura slept peacefully tucked into the older Uchiha's arms. He was laying with her in his room that he shared with his partner Kisame. Her pink hair lazily covered her baby face as she slept soundly, her cheek resting against his one arm as Itachi tucked her into him. With his other arm he held a book, reading it silently as she lounged on him. Itachi was reminded of Sasuke when he too was a baby, and he had to care for his baby brother during the attack of the great Nine tails. Itachi remembered reading, but couldn't take in a single word.

Baby Sakura was dressed in a miniature Akatsuki robe clothing her baby body. Sasori, one of the greatest puppet masters had created it for her very quickly, along with several pairs of baby diapers that Itachi was very displeased about. Not that they were inappropriate at all mind you. Just that she seemed to soil them as fast as Itachi could place them on her. Sakura had only been there for no more than a day, but she really was beginning to have an impact on everyone she met. Itachi looked down at her innocent face, and stared at her. Within his heart, as he thought of his brother, a burst of love swelled inside.

"This is what I fight for." He whispered, pulling the short pink locks behind her pale ear. The door to the cell opened and Itachi's hard stare lifted up to glare. He released it as it was only Kisame. He held a bundle of things in his arm, and dropped them on the table that rested within their room. Kisame picked up a plastic container, and tried to unconnected it with a brown tiny topper with hints of pink in it.

"Kisame." Itachi spoke low, almost as if they were on the battlefield and stealthing. Kisame was unbothered, used to Itachi and his harmless questions. He unsheathed his sword in order to better get his grip on the container. "Kisame what is all this?" Itachi whispered softly, covering Sakura with his other arm as if to block her from any noises. Kisame grunted, trying to bite down on the pink rim around the container and try to pry the lid off. Itachi carefully lifted him and Sakura both off of the bed, and walked until he could lean around Kisame to look at what he was doing.

"I figured she was hungry so I got her a few things."

Kisame shrugged. Itachi didn't move, didn't waver in the least. The fact that Kisame would go out the way to do that for her, a mere outsider, just a wee babe, spoke wonders.

Itachi took pity on his ridiculous struggles and tucked Sakura into his own bed, swaddling her with an Akatsuki branded blanket from Sasori. One who continued to dote on her with many of her own baby clothes. Pink hair was shining beautifully against her pale skin. Itachi stroked her forehead as she gave a tiny snore, and turned to Kisame.

"That is very kind of you." He took the baby bottle from Kisame and turned it left inside of right, and he bottle slid off easily. Kisame sputtered but took it back from Itachi and turned back to the bundle of items he had gotten. "It is not kindness." Kisame had went into town to gather items for the new baby. "It is only what our master has ordered us." He added. Itachi gave a smirk.

"No he didn't." Kisame paused in his act of filling the bottle with milk. Kisame rolled his eyes, he couldn't possibly be serious. "Yes he did-!"

Itachi answered with a teasing smirk. "Master already has everything we could need prepared. He is sending Deidara to get it-!"

"That dumbwit couldn't tell a cradle from a coffin!" Kisame spit out, caught in his lie already. He gestured to the sleeping baby, and finished pouring her milk. Then he fired up the small stove they had and poured the milk in the pan.

"Was was the point of that?" Itachi rolled his eyes. Kisame smirked. "Measuring man." He waited patiently to warm the milk up for the young babe who lay sleeping. Itachi scoffed and grabbed a toy flower Kisame had grabbed for the girl. It squeaked, making Sakura ruffle and part her sweet pink lips. She wouldn't open her eyes, but her breathing slowly resided until she was fast asleep within seconds. Itachi let out the breath he was holding them glared at Kisame.
