The creaking of a door brought me out of my daydream and forced a smiled onto my face. "Honey, I'm home." Came his sweet voice. I place the freshly washed dish from my hands into the cabinet above my head.
Following the sound of happy coos coming from the crib stationed in the living room i am greeted by my handsome husband. He quickly throws my small frame over his shoulder and spins me around. "Itachi!" I yell giggling as my black hair becomes tangled. He lays me on our worn out couch before planting a soft peck on my lips. "Welcome home." I say smiling.

"How was work?" I say serving Itachi his plate. I smile as he takes a dango into his mouth. "I came back without a scratch, so I guess you could say it went well." He flashes me a smile. I can't help but blush, his smile is so perfect.
Itachi clears his throat before taking a drink of the cold ice water in front of him. "Sasuke should be on his way over." I raise an eyebrow. Itachi laughs faintly. "Surprised?" I roll my eyes, "Well you and your brother haven't been close since the death of your father." Just then the familiar sound of door opening echos throughout the room.

"Hello, Sasuke."
"Hn." Was all the young Uchiha said before plopping down into the nearest seat. Itachi nodded his head to me. Placing a plate in front of Sasuke I exit the room with a smile. "Oh! Hello Naomi." Comes a voice as I enter into the living room. My eyes widen. "Ms. Uchiha!" I say flashing an awkward smile. The older woman laughs gently. "Please dear, call me Mikoto." I nod and look down at the sleeping baby in her arms. "He looks just like Itachi!" She yelps in excitement. "Fugaku would have loved to seen his first grandchild." She sighs brushing the newborns black hair. I sit down beside the elder Uchiha and smile. "At least he was able to see Itachi wed a wonderful woman."

Laughter fills the house. "Tell it again, Itachi!!" Naruto says, still laughing at the story told 2 minutes ago. "Okay, Okay." Itachi says with a laugh. "Itachi I will kill you!" "Shut it, Sasuke!" A young dog boy says smirking. I laugh seeing Sasuke in embarrassment.

"Then I say Sasuke, you have no pants on." As Itachi finishes the story for the fourth time Naruto once again falls in the floor in laughter. "Baka.." Sasuke growls. Sakura nudges Sasuke. "Calm down, dobe." She smirks. "Its not our fault you walked into the Academy without pants." Sasuke face palms as everyone giggles. "IT WAS ONE TIME!"

"Thanks for coming." Itachi says closing the creaking door behind him. I take the whining baby from his arms, yawning myself. "Is my unstoppable wife tired?!" Itachi says looking surprised. I roll my eyes. "Well I wasnt informed I would be feeding 10 hungry teenagers. He playfully nudges me. "Come on Nao." I giggle. "Oh, so youre calling me Nao again?" He flashes me another smile. "Sure am."

I bump him with my hip as I put the bottle to my child's lips. The ravened haired baby coos and giggles before taking the teat in his tiny mouth. "So, Itachi I was -" My sentence is interrupted by stairs creaking. "Really?!" I shout as Itachi races upstairs. I sigh. "Husbands....I swear."

"Goodnight, sweetheart." I whisper planting a gentle kiss upon the boy's forehead. Looking into the mirror I tie my hair into a bun before changing into one of my husbands shirts. "You look beautiful." A pair of arms wrap around my waist. "Shut it." I say closing the space between us. I giggle as Itachi picks me up and carries me to bed. "Goodnight, Love." "Goodnight, Itachi."
