Cherry blossoms

"Congratulations sasuke...its a boy" Tsunade came out of the OR holding a baby boy.
Naruto and sasuke's eyes widened.
"What about hinata?" Sasuke blurted out.
Naruto's eyes and sakura's widened.
Sasuke didn't even comprehend why he was concerned about the hyuga.
Surly of course for the children, right?
"She is okay, sleeping...she may need some blood transfusion but we'll see about that" sakura said.
"Take mine.." sasuke blurted out again, confused how blunt he had became.
And the reason is still unknown.
"We will see about that later, sasuke" sakura said. Then naruto interrupted.
"Haven't you said it was a girl when you checked by the ultra sound baa chan" naruto said.
"I said the baby is sitting by his back, but most probably she is a girl...but i didn't confirm it..." tsunade said.
She handed sasuke the little child.
He had his eyes closed so, sasuke didn't know what the baby looked like, but he had hinata's bluish hair, and pale skin.
"His eyes are pale like his mother..." tsunade smiled.
Sasuke held the baby close to his chest while the baby whimpered.
And for the first time, sasuke's heart fluttered and he felt a warm unusual feeling.
He was there when sarada was born, but the feeling was different, maybe warmth,  but he wasn't that worried about sakura, or even her well being, and shortly he abandoned them.
But this is different, he just wanted to stay around these children.
Why? Guilty? If he was then, he should have the urge to go back, yet he  almost doesn't want to go back.
Almost, and again, almost for sasuke didn't count.
Sasuke raised his eyes then said.
"Can i see her..i mean hinata" he said monotonous.
Naruto grinned widely.
He knows that even this sasuke, isn't the same sasuke, but hinata does have an effect.
She can tame the untamable beast, and turn the rock solid hearts to a little teddy's bear hearts.
"She is sleeping now.." sakura said.
But she saw the distress in sasuke's face.
"I guess it won't hurt..." naruto said.
Sasuke's face almost lightened.
He tightened the little infant, sakura and tsunade took him to the room they transferred hinata to.
He entered the room, and saw again her beautiful sleeping face.
She was really beautiful, breathtaking, even though she seemed exhausted, but yet her beauty was still outstanding.
The baby suddenly started to cry out.
Sasuke tried to rock him so he would be quiet, scared to wake hinata up.
Hinata whimpered and fluttered her eyes opened.
"Uh..gomenne...i'll leave..." sasuke said when hinata interrupted.
"Its fine sasuke-san..... give it to me..he needs to be breastfed..." hinata smiled as she stretched her hands.
Sasuke kept his gaze as she straddled the baby.
Hinata gave sasuke an unsure look, which was filled with confusion and embarrassment.
He is sasuke, but not her sasuke..or he his the same person, but...
Sasuke realized what her turmoil was.
"I...i'll be leaving..." he said as he turned around but was again stopped by her words.
"Uh..sasuke san..." She stammered, he kept his back to her.
"Can..can you stay for a while.." She stammered looking down.
He nodded and sat down, still his back to hers.
Hinata took out her breast and started feeding the baby, sasuke knew as he heard the slurping sound and the whimpers of the baby.
He wanted to see that moment...wished..not with sakura, only hinata.
And why? Still an unknown reason.
He tried to take a peek, and he succeeded, but yet, turned quickly, and he felt a burning feeling creeping upon his face.
Sasuke scoffed.
After a while, tsunade came inside.
"Hinata, i guess you are fine now, ready to be dismissed..." she said.
Hinata nodded and gave sasuke the baby.
She was still wearing the hospital gown.
Two nurses came in.
"We shall help her.." they said and by that sasuke exited.

Sasuke and hinata along with Himawari were walking back home.
She was feeling a little dizzy, holding her baby.
Sasuke noticed that hinata was still a little bit tired.
So he said
"Can you walk?" The question taken her aback.
Sasuke was a little bit a bastard, she didn't know why her husband changed so much a-lot since the Toneri's incident, it was like as if he was punishing her for being beautiful and wanted by many men.
And as if he was trying to cut off the ties with her, trying to stop loving her as he was so much in pain and jealousy, yet occasionally he did care.
"No..no its fine sasuke san" she stammered.
Sasuke scoffed, she still insists on calling him 'san'.
Hinata in his universe was a little acquainted to him calling him 'kun'. Sasuke didn't notice or even considered it, but now why he was focusing on such 'mere' detail.
And he wished she'd call him 'kun'.
Sasuke sighed, then he suddenly crouched down.
Hinata looked puzzled.
"Climb on..." he said not looking at her.
Hinata stammered.
"Sasuke san its..its fine" but was interrupted.
"I said climb on..." his voice was stern and hinata knew, she can never escape sasuke. Not this one, not her husband.
She climbed on, Himawari held the baby, sasuke held hinata with his arm and hinata held on him tightly.
Sasuke dismissed the heat creeping upon his face by her close proximity, now her smell was even more stronger than before.
Vanilla, lavender and cherries.
And he took a note, hinata was so light even though she was a little curvy.
