"Coming!" Sakura rushes to the door and opens it to see a little baby in the hands of Hanabi and konohamaru behind them.

"Awhhhh hey you three, hi little asuma how are you today? Goochi goocchi gooo" she makes funny faces when konohamaru gets back her attention.

"Ehmm hehe sakura neechan, can we come in?" He says nervously whike holding his wife's shoulders.

"Yes yess of coursee! Sorry hanabi. Hehe" she moves out of the way for her and the family comes in the Uchiha home.

"Oh its alright, here, do you wanna hold him?" Hanabi hands over her son with a smile and sakura cries in joy to hold him.

"Here, we brought some pie, kore. Hello sarada, daisuke and uhh boruto?" konohamaru sets it down on the table and takes a sit.

"Konohamaru niichan whats upp?!" he asks in excitment.

"Well your aunt here said Sakura invited us over for dinner, said you just cameback, and i didnt have a chance to properly see you since the our recent mission so u know i urhh...  had to see you now didnt I?"

"That. And my husband here is just hungry for her signature dish, steamed fish." hanabi taps his chest as he sighs and the others at the table laugh.

After dinner...

The family sat in the hall just talking about recent events in their lives. Boruto enjoyed it, he liked conversations like these every once in awhile, hes been gone for too long and hes only managed to talk to either sasuke or kawaki who both werent very talkative or fun.

"The Moon festival is coming up. Will you two be going? Or will you have any missions?" hanabi asks sarada as she hands over asuma to her.

"Im not sure yet, do we boruto kun? Sensei?" she says, positioning the baby properly so that hes comfortable in her arms.

"I'll find out soon enough, dont worry, i doubt it'll be long term. Many shinobi will be much more focused on missions inside the village during the time of the festival" he says while putting an arm around hanabi.

As soon as the baby was in sarada's arms, boruto couldnt help but stare. The way she held him was like she was so experienced, the baby so comfortable in her hold he fell asleep. She swayed him for awhile giving him little hugs and kisses here and there.
He's never seen anything like it before, that single moment was more beautiful than everything in the world. She was more beautiful than anything in the world. He was in awe. That moment made him realize that this is it. He wanted her so badly, as his lover, his comrade, his wife and the mother of his children. He would give his life for her and even before they were a couple he would still gladly do so, and for anyone for that matter, he was determined to make this happen, to spend the rest of his life with her.

"Boruto kun, are you okay?" sarada says, snapping him back to reality. She had that concerned look on her face that she didnt realize that it looked so adorable to him.

"Huh.. Oh.. Yeah... yeah, never better." his eyes quickly shook off her in embarrassment. Sarada noticed and let out a small grin.

An hour later the family had to leave to go home, little asuma was getting tired and so was his mother. Konohamaru said his goodbyes to the Uchihas and left.

Boruto was about to leave shortly after but sarada stopped him.

"Hey.. Its urm... Getting kinda late, wanna sleeopover?" She says cutely but she couldnt look him in the eye while saying it. Shes been doing alot of stuff that she hasnt ever done before lately, so its all kinda new to her.

"Well, i am sort of tired, its been a long day" he says with an arm scratching the back of his head, totally not wanting to leave at all now that she asked.

"Heh, figured you'd be staying over niisan, here i got these for you. You can sleep on the couch okay?" Daisuke walks down the steps with a pillow and a blanket from his room and hands it over to boruto. He had that look on his face that says 'no funny business' and so boruto had no choice.

Sarada smiled and crossed her arms. She shrugged her elbows as if to let him know that theres nothing she can do. "Besides, what was I planning to do anyways?" She thought.

The two went to sleep in their seperate places for the night. Though once they hit the sheets, neither could fall asleep. Their hearts and minds connected, both longing for each other's touch, to be held in their arms. Sooner or later they had to fall asleep.

Sarada's dream

The leaf was in flames, rubble and debris everwhere, it looks as though the whole village was destroyed. Everyone she knew around either dead or dying. Bodies all over the place. Dozens of shinobi scattered all across downtown.She looked down to see her father in her arms. Badly wounded and blood in all over. He was barely breathing, holding his daughter's hand on his chest. Then she saw boruto, walking away from them wearing her father's cloak and holding his sword. He called his name but he was too far away. She called his name repeatedly, hoping for him to comeback. Tears stared flowing down her face. Then all of a sudden a figure she couldnt recognize appeared from the side and striked.

Her eyes widened for impact, she was helpless, but before it could land she woke up, screaming.

The whole house awoke from her voice. Boruto and sakura rushed to her room. They opened the door to see her sitting up and her eyes were filled with tears and glowing red, the sharingan unconsciously on. Boruto quickly went to her side.

"Sarada... Wha.. " before he could finish, she covered her face with her hands and sobbed. She was so vulnerable, hes never seen her like this. He took the courage to put his arm around her, hoping to at least let her know that he's here for her. Sakura watched from the door and sasuke and daisuke stood closely behind.

"We'll leave them to it" says sasuke, putting a hand around his wife's hip to put her at ease as well. She nods but still has a concerned look.

"Is neechan okay papa?" Daisuke asks with a sleepy voice.

Sasuke looks at sarada, now being cradled in boruto's arms, he turns to look at sasuke as sarada begins to calm down, she lets go of her face and puts her hands on his shirt, grabbing it a little tightly.

"She'll be alright for now, we'll find out whats going on in the morning. Come, lets get some sleep. Oi boruto"

"Sasuke san?"

"Is she in good hands?"

Boruto turns to look at her, her face stuffed into his chest.

"She is, sir" sasuke turned and closed the door on them.

"What was that dream... It was horrible" she thought. Little does she know, little do we all know.
