The Price Of Loving Him... (Itachi x reader)

Chapter 146

I do not own pic!

"These are so beautiful!", you exclaimed looking at the two small bonsai trees in front of you, a cherry and a wisteria trees, "hm...I guess I will put the cherry one in our reception room and I want to keep this in our bedroom", you said with a smile as you then picked the purple one in your arms.

"Alright, you put it in there then come down, we will plant the rosebush together", Itachi said as you nodded then headed upstairs to put the pot containing the small tree on the table in your room.

You then walked downstairs then headed outside to garden where Itachi and Tatsu were supposed to be waiting for you, just to stop before you exited as you heard them talking in a low voices.
"Dad! please help me out! Mom doesn't want me to bring one home! Please dad! Please please!", Tatsu whispered in a way that he seemed to be insisting on bringing something home, you could hear Itachi sigh, then reply to him in a low voice as well: "you want a pet...I will try to convince mom, but what do you want exactly?", "a cat!", Tatsu said excitedly making Itachi nod with a little chuckle gently patting the little boys head.

Tatsu has been asking you for a cat as a pet in a while, but since you're most of the time busy and since Tatsu was a bit too young to take care of it, you refused, but now, you just couldn't resist such cuteness...
"I guess you can have a cat later, Tatsu...", you said as you stepped outside with a smile, making Tatsu run to you and hug you happily as you smiled and gently pulled him to you while Itachi smiled watching you two.

"Do you want it to be here?", Itachi asked you while holding the shovel in his hand, looking at a suitable spot to plant the rosebush he got for you.
"Yes, it would be perfect there, I will be able to see it from our room upstairs and from the reception room as well, it would be gorgeous!", you said as Itachi nodded and started digging, while Tatsu stood up close to him, looking  excite to plant the rosebush.
"Okay, you two work here and I will make some tea for us to enjoy ourselves while being in our beautiful garden, I won't take long!", you said as the two of them nodded excitedly, for the two of them, tea is a synonym for dango...

"So what do you think, [name]?", Itachi asked you as the three of you sat on the engawa facing the garden looking at the rosebush that Itachi finished planting with the help of Tatsu, while having some tea and dango as you promised.

"It really looks beautiful, especially with all the other flowers around, I love it", you said enjoying the view.
"You have planted a lot of other medicinal herbs here as well, [name]", he said taking another stick of dango as you nodded.

"I need them to prepare some remedies, but there are a lot others that only grow in the wild which I can't just plant here, I need to go out of the village to gather them", you said taking a sip from your cup of tea watching Tatsu chewing on his dango happily.

"Those were great times...meeting you there at the meadow, as we first started dating...", Itachi said with a smile recalling the time you stared seeing each other secretly, as you nodded and blushed, if only you can get back in time...
"Well, since tomorrow is a day off for me and Tatsu, I was planning to go there and grab what I need of medicinal herbs, we can go tomorrow and pass some good time there", you said with excitement at the idea as Itachi nodded immediately, as if he was thinking the same thing.

"It will be a great idea to spend some time together there, especially now that we have Tatsu", Itachi said gently smiling at his son who was busy eating his sweets, as you smiled too when an idea came to your mind, "I will be right back!", you said with a giggle getting up and heading inside, as Itachi and Tatsu looked at you not knowing what's going on.

You walked back to them shortly after, you sat down with them after you brought with you a stuck of photos and your camera.
"That's so good! let's see them together", Itachi said with a happy look on his face, pulling Tatsu to sit in his lap so the three of you can see them together.
"That's mom! And you dad!", Tatsu said excitedly pointing to the wedding photo you started with, you didn't sbow the little child these pictures before...they would bring much pain and tears and you wouldn't be able to handle them, but that... was before Itachi is back.
"Yes, that's the day I and your mom got married", Itachi said smiling softly, looking closely at the photo, you seemed happy, shy, excited...why did he do that to you?

"Here is another one in the snow, this was before I and dad get married", you said as you showed them another photo, smiling but sadly, remembering Kisame and wishing he would have been still here...

"Oh look, that's my boy swaddled as a little baby", Itachi chuckled looking at a photo of little Tatsu wrapped in clothes when he was still too small, he eyes softened as he subconsciously pulled Tatsu closer to his chest.

"He was just one month old then", you added to what Itachi said leaning down and stealing several kisses from your son who was still sitting in his dad's lap watching with you.

"I used to love to see him in this onesie with the bear ears, but too bad it doesn't fit him anymore", you said with a giggle looking at a photo with Tatsu in a brown bear onesie, sitting on the floor with his bangs over his forehead looking at you with his big black eyes and rosy cheeks.

"Your little bear [name] will become a fierce and strong dragon someday" Itachi said with a proud smile, gently patting Tatsu's hair, as you nodded in a agreement.

"This one was just when we were at the festival last time", you said with a smile as Itachi nodded.

"I can see...you look so pretty, and Tatsu looks like a big man in his manly kimono, the mask looks good on him", Itachi said observing the photo closely, "have you danced again, [name]?", you looked at Itachi as he asked you this, why the question though?
"No, I had to keep an eye on Tatsu, also...there wasn't that special person I'd dance for", you answered with a small smile as you looked in his eyes, you knew he knows that he is that person.
"That person is now here, I would like to see you dance again", he said with a smirk as you then looked again at the rest of the photos, "then you have to wait...", you muttered with a small smirk.
"And that's when he started to learn to walk" you said with a giggle as you turned the camera on and started playing a video you have recorded for Tatsu when you were teaching him to walk, Itachi watched with a smile on his face, seeing his son struggling to learn his first steps.
