Redemption |complete| (SasuSaku)

The Uchiha Compound

Wednesday, 22nd of July. Baby is 18 weeks old so 3 weeks old.

"Good morning Anata!"

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and met the minty gaze of his wife. The light coming from the window was surrounding her making her look like a shining angel. His eyes took a second to adapt and when they finally did, he admired her pink locks framing her face and her body. She didn't have it tied into two low ponytails and he could finally appreciate her face with her hair down. He loved seeing her like that. It reminded him of a time when she was younger. Back when he was a child, the reason why he started paying attention to her was her pink hair. That was what made her different than everyone else and he loved that.

His eyes moved back to her face and he gazed at her lips. These lips that had touched every single part of his body, the ones that made him shiver with a simple touch, were now smiling in the cutest way ever. It was hard to believe that she could use them to send shiver down his spine.

"Morning." his voice was still asleep from the night and Sakura smiled even more when she heard it. She moved her face closer to him and before he knew it, she landed a kiss on his cheek.

"So what do you want to do for your birthday tomorrow?"

"Nothing."

"Ah, no, no, no. Nothing is not an option here. Naruto has been harassing me for the past two days. He is annoyed that he can't see you yet and-"

"He can't see me?"

"I told him that your health was too fragile to see other people yet."

"But I'm fine."

"Yeah... I just wanted you to myself for a day or two."

He shook his head and smiled. Sakura made him a sign to make her some room so he did and she sat on the edge of the bed.

"So I am forced to have a birthday party because Naruto wants me to?"

"Not only Naruto. Everyone wants to celebrate."

"I doubt that."

"Well, don't. Everyone is very excited about what you and Sai did. Kakashi told some of us and you know, the message spread and now everybody knows."

"Can anybody keep a secret in this village?"

"Not really. It doesn't matter anyway because they are our friends."

"Our friends?"

"You are my husband so... our friends. Anyway so do you want to have dinner here or at Ichiraku?"

"Let me guess, Naruto only gave you these two options?"

"No, he only gave me Ichiraku. I am adding the home option now."

"Then I'd rather have it here."

She laughed and passed her arms around his neck. The position she was in must've been really uncomfortable but she didn't seem to mind. She rested her head on the crook of his neck, her nose brushing against his skin. He didn't want to let go of her. Ten weeks... how long was it going to be the next he will have to leave?
