Sakura POV

We made it back to our house in record time. Sasuke put me down and opened the door. As I began to walk inside for the first time in 3 years, I began tearing up a bit. I'm finally home. I then walked through the whole house with our bedroom being the last place. It was good to know nothing had changed over the years. I walked over to the pictures that were on the dresser. The first one was of our wedding day. In this photo, Sasuke was actually smiling. The next one was of Sasuke and me being pregnant of 7 months. The third one was when Sarada was just born with me being a sweaty mess. I looked over at the last one. It was a photo of me, Sasuke and a 2 year old Sarada playing. I loved these photos so much, I started to cry.

"What happened Sakura?" asked Sasuke. I turned around to face him with my tears still flowing, and he quickly rushed over to my side. "Hey. What's wrong?"

"I-I-I just sa-w the photo-s on o-ur dress-er an-d it re-mind-ed me of a-ll the go-od tim-es we've spent. B-ut then I ju-st had to g-et kidn-apped and a-ll those ha-ppy mem-ories were gone f-or 3 ye-ars." He pulled me into a hug.

"Shhh. It's Ok Sakura. No on is blaming you." "B-b-but, I st-ole you-rs an-d Sar-a-da's happ-iness by no-t be-ing he-re."

"Yes. I was really sad and depressed when you had been confirmed dead. Yes, I was sad and mad that I couldn't protect you. Whenever I looked at Sarada, I would always be reminded of you. Yes, I was sad whenever Sarada would ask where her mommy was. But that didn't stop me from living with the memories we shared and living with those forever. But when you came back, I was so happy you don't even know. It felt like things were looking good for me now that you were back with me. I don't resent you in any way that you stole mine and Sarada's happiness because even though you weren't there with us, we still lived on with you in our mind and hearts. So don't you ever think you should feel sorry or guilty. It is not your fault. It is the bastards who stole you away from me for 3 long years. I once again say Sakura Uchiha, you make me the happiest man alive and I will forever and always love you no matter what. So I ask you Sakura. Will you do me the honor of continuing being my wife again?" I cried harder by what he said and without skipping beat, I immediately said yes. "Yes. Yes. I will become your wife again. And thank you for everything you said. It really means a lot." "No problem Sakura. Just wanted to remind you that you are the only one worthy of me and I you."

I parted from Sasuke and looked him dead in the eyes. "Sasuke." I said in a dark tone. "Yes honey?" I could tell he was getting uneasy.

"What is for dinner. Cause I'm starving. And having all that hospital food was not good either." Sasuke didn't answer. "Sasuke?" All of a sudden he started laughing. Not giggling, but laughing. That perked my interest. "Oh, honey. I thought it was going to be something serious with the way your face looked like." "Well. Sorry that my face looks funny to you. I'll just make my own dinner since you clearly are to busy laughing at my face." I began walking to the door when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I yelped. "Sasuke. What are you doing. Let go. I have food to make for all of you guys since Sarada should also be coming back from spending time with Kakashi-sensei. Sasuke?" No response.

Suddenly I felt a pair of lips nimbiling on my ear. I immediately stiffened. I knew it was Sasuke. I didn't want him to push him away seeing as he was still my husband and he had a right, but this action was making me remember what happened in that hell hole and I still had a no touch policy after what happened to me and the girls. Same with the girls. I started to shake and sweat when he moved to my neck. "Sasuke please. Move away now. I can't do this right now." I began trembling as well and after that I had had enough. I pushed him away. He released his hold on me and I bolted right out of there and into the kitchen to do two things. 1, to clear my head and stop thinking about all those horrible memories. And 2, after that, I'm gonna make some dinner.
