Not So Long-lost Daddy

Chapter 9 - DNA Testing

Sasuke's driver pulled over in front of the daycare center that very next day. Since he was on leave, he told his driver to get him to the daycare first thing in the morning.

When he got out of their pickup truck, he was met by his former coach and now business partner, Kakashi.
"Wasn't expecting you here, Mr. Uchiha."

"Well uh, it's been awhile since I've been here. I've been seeing adults everyday, just thought I'll see kids for a change," Sasuke responded, and they both laughed.

"Sasuke, Thank you for really supporting this daycare. But as much as I would like to stay and chat for a little bit, I'm gonna be late for my meeting. I need to get going."

"Sure thing, take care."

Sasuke waited for Kakashi to enter his car and drove off before proceeding inside.

He then asked for the head teacher, and talked to her for a bit. He was asking if there are still things that the kids needed at the daycare. The head teacher said they still have enough of the school supplies that he donated, and the donation for toys are nonstop. It's all good for them.

When Sasuke asked if he could go visit the toddlers, he was not allowed just yet as it was still morning, playtime is being done in the afternoon, so school activities are still being done by the toddlers. He can wait until their recess.

When it was recess time, the head teacher told Sasuke that he can now visit inside. Their recess time lasts for only 30 minutes, so Sasuke needed to make this quick.

He entered and saw the little girl with the same red headband and and red eyeglasses. This time her dress was pink. He made his way inside, and sat at the small chair beside the little girl drinking her bottle of milk, while she was getting some snacks out from her bag.

"Need a help with that?" He asked the toddler.
"Hi mister! How are you?!" Sarada stood up from her chair and hugged his arm.

He wanted to hug her back but he was "not" a relative, so he just patted Sarada's head. "Do you want biscuits? I have a lot!" She added, and sat back to her seat.

"No, thank you. I'm not yet hungry. So how've you been doing, Sarada?"

"I did my promise to you, Mister. I finished my first coloring book, I'm already doing the second one. But I wasn't able to show you because you didn't come back!"

"I'm sorry, I was busy with work. And you can now stop calling me mister. My name is Sasuke."

"S-Sasuke? Oh okay Uncle Sasuke! Now I know your name, you're no longer a stranger!"

"You think I'm a stranger?"

"No, but mommy does, because I don't know your name and your family. And I'm not allowed to talk to strangers."

"Your mom's right, you should never ever talk to strangers. But how come you're talking to me if your mom thinks I'm a stranger?"

"Because the head teacher let you in here! So if you do something bad, I'll tell you to her, you're not going anywhere!"

Sasuke laughed. She's brave, just like Sakura. But while they were talking, he was studying Sarada's face. Any person will not think right away that she's an Uchiha if Sarada was just given a glance, because of her glasses. But if you really studied her face, she's a girl version of Sasuke.
"Are you sure you don't want to eat, Uncle Sasuke? Recess will be over soon, you'll get hungry!"

That's right. It will be over soon, he needed to act now.

"Don't you worry about me, Sarada. Say, do you have some kind of comb with you? Your hair is kinda tangled from behind."
