Not So Long-lost Daddy

Chapter 10 - DNA Results

It was one hell of a week. Non-stop meetings here, and there. It was too much. Sasuke and Itachi somehow forgot about the DNA results, as they were really focused on their jobs. Shisui though, was really proud of Sasuke for executing everything perfectly.

Itachi was waiting for Sasuke to get ready to go home, he was leaning against the frame of Sasuke's opened door.
He didn't think of firing their driver even if Sasuke was now capable of driving again, since he was now coming home with him, and coming home earlier as well.

When they were about to leave Sasuke's office, they were met by Karin who was just walking back to her working station, she was carrying mails and a small yellow plastic, which seemed to be a parcel by looking from afar.

She excused for Sasuke, she asked for a day-off the next day due to the intense workload during that week.
"It's fine, email me my schedule tomorrow then," Sasuke allowed his secretary.

"Thank you, Sir Sasuke. I'll email it to you later, I'll just go through your mails first and your package."

"Package? Who would send you one? One of our business partners?" Itachi interrupted.
"Give me that," Sasuke commanded, and Karin handed the parcel to him.

He opened it and he saw Sarada's hairbrush still inside the ziplock, his eyes widened. He forgot about the results.
"There's no need, give me all the mails, I'll be the one to go through all of them. You can go home now, Karin. Thanks," he said then Karin handed to him all the mails in her hands.

Sasuke went back inside his office, and Itachi was a bit pissed. He followed his younger brother inside and shut the door behind him.
"I thought we were going home?" Itachi asked irritably.
"It's the results," Sasuke replied, as he dropped the mails and Sarada's hairbrush that's still inside the yellow plastic on his desk.
He took the biggest brown envelope from all the mails.

"Go, open it! What does it say?" Itachi said hurrying his brother.
He's gone from being irritated to being impatient, since he wanted to know as well.

Sasuke pulled the paper from the envelope and scanned it. Then he froze standing, until he felt his legs weakened, he immediately sat down to one of the chairs in front of his desk, not saying anything. It's as if all of a sudden his weight was too heavy for him to be standing up.

Itachi grabbed the paper from his hand while his younger brother just stared at the wall, and read it.
Uchiha, Sasuke - Haruno, Sarada: MATCHED.

"Holy shit!" Itachi yelled then looked at his brother, "hey, you okay?"

From being intensely shocked, Sasuke was now starting to feel mad. A lot was going through his mind right now. You are the father and yet you've done nothing but donate a coloring book, he thought. What kind of a dad is he?

He tried composing himself before he can answer his brother's question. He kind of felt he was about to explode. He ran his fingers through his hair, he was stopping himself from flipping out.

"Itachi, can you do me a favor? Will you please photocopy the results? Please make a lot of copies. And will it be okay if I work on a half day tomorrow?"

"Why, what are you gonna do?"

"Just... please."

"Okay, fine."

"And please don't tell mom and dad just yet."

"I am in no position to do that."
