We've Grown. (Naruto FanFiction)

Chapter 27

  "Hey, you guys." Sarada said softly as she began waking up from her sleep, only to see her parents dozing off. Her mother sat at the foot of her bed, sleeping in an awkward position, while her father was dozing off himself. "Sarada, how are you feeling?"
He asked, immediately jumping up from his seat next to her bed. She didn't respond right away, instead she watched her father with a small smile on her face as he got out of his seat.

Picking up his sleeping wife's petite body, he laid her on the couch, and took off his jacket before draping it over her. Sakura had been really stressed, and hadn't wanted to sleep anywhere, but next to her daughter, rather or not she was comfortable. Sasuke loved how much she loved their child, after almost two short decades of being with her, her compassion and kindheartedness had to be the most attractive aspect about her.

Sakura had gone through a lot in the past few hours. She watched a child die, then saved another one's life in the span of three hours.
Sakura was battling things externally and internally, and though she didn't speak about it, she felt extremely guilty. Although Haron, had caused so much pain to Sarada, and her Godson, she didn't think that he deserved to die. He was someone's child, and that would stick with her.

"Better, a lot better. Thank you guys for staying here with me." He smiled before kissing her bandaged forehead, "Of course."
"Where's Bolt?" She asked with a slight smile on her face, unlike his wife, Sasuke didn't know how to beat around the bush. Being the straight-forward guy he was, he answered her truthfully, "Sarada, while you were sleeping, Boruto was shot by Haron." Sarada's eyes widened, "What? No. Is he okay? Tell me he's okay." 

"He's fine, just sleeping right now. He's had two serious surgeries, so he's drained. But if you want to see him he's right across the hall." She nodded, "Can I?" Her father nodded,
"Here, I'll get you a wheel chair."
She shook her head, while lifting her arm to move her blanket. "I can w-walk." An intense pain came form abdomen, making her stop.
Making sure that she was okay, Sasuke left the room for a moment, before returning with the wheelchair.

Lifting her petite body, and placing her against the leather, he wheeled her into the room across the hall. "Oh my God, where was he shot?" She asked quietly, as he laid peacefully in his hospital bed. It made her chest hurt seeing him so pale, and appearing so lifeless.
"The bullet went in through his bicep and punctured an artery." Naruto said softly, while his wife and daughter laid on each other's shoulders across from them, sleeping peacefully.

"He began hemorrhaging and your mother noticed before any of us did. He almost didn't make it." He said truthfully, while looking down at his son lovingly. "But I knew he would pull through. He's my son after all." He said while smiling slightly, making Sarada laugh, and her dad smile.
"Cocky old man." They heard a raspy voice say, before Bolt opened his bright blue eyes, and immediately made eye contact with Sarada.
When her onyx eyes peered into his ocean ones, a smile came to her lips, and all of her worries went away.

"Hime, are you feeling okay?" She blushed as Bolt asked that. "I'm okay. How are you?"
He laughed a little, "As good as I can be,
I suppose." She smiled while he reached for her hand, "I'm glad that you're okay though."
She nodded before caressing his fingers as their fingers intertwined. "I just woke up myself, what exactly happened? Haron shot you?" He nodded, "He did."
"Why? How did he do that? I thought he was in the ICU."

"Yeah he was, but after I heard about everything that had happened to you I was really mad, amd I wanted to hurt him. So I went to his room." Sarada opened her mouth, ready to express how dumb that was, but he beat her to it. "I know it was stupid, but he hurt you, and I couldn't leave that alone. So yeah I went down to the ICU, but before I could do anything, your mom came and convinced me to leave, not soon enough though. By the time she got me to leave Haron had already woke up, and my memory kinda blanks after that."
They all nodded, "The only thing I can remember is the way it felt, and the sound of Sakura screaming for help."
