...
(Ten minutes later.)
Sasuke had long finished his lollipop and he was hungry and cranky he did not feel like waiting for Sakura anymore.
"Nawudo me hungwy."
The child whined as he tugged on the blonde ninja's shirt.
"Hold on she's almost done."
Naruto said as he rubbed the child's head.
Sasuke puffed his cheeks as he started to pout he really wanted to leave the hospital and get some food instead of just sitting down being bored.
"Hey guys."
Sakura walked into the waiting room she had a look of exaustion on her face.
"Sakuwa!".
Sasuke ran to the pink haired kunoichi and he raised his hands up indicating he wanted to be picked up.
"Oh sweetie not right now I'm kinda tired right now."
Sakura motioned for Naruto to help her while she was trying to regain some energy back into her body.
Naruto helped Sakura onto one of the lobby chairs.
"What happened in there?"
Naruto asked his friend
"Sakura I said to wait a minute before you had rushed off."
Tsunade walked towards the pink haired kunoichi.
"Grandma what happened in there?"
Naruto asked the sannin.
"We were able to...well for a lack of a better term we froze the baby inside Sakura but this can only last for so long until the baby starts developing again."
Tsunade said.
"So you were able do it awesome."
Naruto said.
"For now Naruto I don't know how long the baby will stay like that."
Sakura stood up from the chair she was sitting on she had felt a little bit better.
Tsunade sighed
"Remember you are suffering some fatigue from the minor chakra exaustion so just take it easy for a little bit okay."
Sakura bowed.
"I understand Lady Tsunade thank you."
....
"Sakuwa me hungwy!"
Sasuke whined to Sakura.
"Alright we'll go get something to eat."
Sakura waved goodbye to her mentor and she left.
....
Once Sakura and Sasuke stepped outside Tsunade quickly pulled Naruto aside to give him a warning.
"Naruto I need you to keep an eye on Sakura the effects of the medical ninjutsu are safe for her and the child but I don't know long it will last so just keep an eye on her okay."
Tsunde said.
"Got it I'll make sure she will be okay grandma."
With that said Naruto went outside to catch up with Sakura and Sasuke.
.....
Naruto caught up with his two friends.
"So where are we going."
The blonde jinchuriki asked the kunoichi.
"There's this nice little restaurant that has great food."
Sakura said.
"Is it Ichiraku's!"
Naruto said
"No Naruto somewhere even better."
Sakura said.
"Something even better hmm."
Naruto was skeptical about the establishment that is apparently better than his favorite ramen stand.
After ten minutes of walking the group of three finally made it to the restaurant.
"Here we are."
Sakura said as she sat down at a booth with Sasuke on her lap.
"Okay Sasuke what do you want to eat.
Sakura asked the child.
....
"Ishe cweam."
Sasuke said.
"It has to be real food Sasuke not sweets."
Sakura said to the child.
"Aww bud me wike ishe cweam Sakuwa."
Sasuke whined.
"I know sweetie but you have to eat real food first is there something else you might like maybe something with tomatoes in it."
Sakura said to the child.
"Me wike matos Sakuwa!"
Sasuke said excitedly at hearing the name of his favorite food.
"Then you might like spaghetti."
Sakura said.
"Wad dat?"
Sasuke asked.
"It has tomatoes in it."
Sakura said as she rubbed the child's head.
"Wan dat."
Sasuke said, thinking if it has tomatoes in it it must be good then.
"Alright and I already know what I want how about you Naruto?"
Sakura asked the blonde man sitting across from her.
"I really want some Ichiraku's."
Naruto said as he started to mope.
"You always eat ramen try something else like fried pork you might really like that since you always get miso pork ramen."
Sakura showed Naruto the dish she had suggested on her copy of the menu.
.....
"I guess I'll try it."
Naruto said.
"Good you'll love it I promise."
Said the kunoichi.
Once everyone had their order picked out Sakura waved over a server.
"How can I help you guys today?"
The female server asked.
"We're ready to order."
Sakura said.
The female server pulled out a pen and a notepad.
"Alright what will you guys have today?"
The female server said.
"We need two orders of fried pork one of them with a side of umeboshi and and then a plate of spaghetti."
Once Sakura had listed off the food she wanted she glanced at the server.
"Okay got it would you guys like a drink?"
The server asked.
"Just get us all sweet tea."
Sakura said.
The server nodded and she walked away to give the order to the chef.
"Sakuwa me wan fewd."
Sasuke demanded his patience running thin.
"Just wait a little while longer okay."
Sakura said as she bounced the child on her lap.
The child whined he had been waiting for stuff all day it was unfair he was tired of waiting.
"Don wanna wait wan fewd!"
Sasuke demanded the toddler as tears started to swell up in his eyes.
Sakura sensing the child was about have a meltdown she quickly took Sasuke outside so he could cool down.
"We'll be back Naruto, Sasuke just needs to vent for a little bit"
With that said Sakura took the child outside to blow off some steam.
....
"I'm never having kids."
Said the blond ninja.
Once Sakura made it outside Sasuke started throwing his tantrum the toddler cried loudly and he started kick his feet wildly.
"Waaaaah wan fewd now wan fewd now!!!!"
Sasuke yelled at Sakura.
People had started looking at Sasuke wondering what type of parent would let their kid act this way the unwanted attention made Sakura a little embarrassed so she grabbed Sasuke and she quickly retreated to the rooftop of a tall building where people could not give her judgemental stares.
Sakura had then placed Sasuke down and child was quick to lay down and start kicking his feet to show his displeasure.
"Nod fa nod fa nod fa waaaaaaaah!!!"
Sasuke kept chanting not fair.
"That's it let it all out I know you're tired of waiting for things."
Said the mother to be.
In all of Sakura's experience of dealing with children whenever they would have meltdowns it was just best to just let them vent and tire themselves out then proceed to scold the child later to let them know how foolish their behavior is.
"Never knew he was the type to throw tantrums."
Sakura said as she continued to watch the child continue throw his tantrum.
(Five minutes later)
Sasuke crying had been reduced sobbing and then finally sniffling he was soon tired of kicking his feet and pounding his tiny fist on the concrete roofing of the building they were on he just laid down tuckered out from his meltdown.
"You done Sasuke?"
Sakura asked the exausted child.
Sasuke merely nodded.
"Good"
Sakura picked up Sasuke and she patted the child's back while she slowly hummed to him.
"I know you're tired of waiting Sasuke but let's just wait for a little longer okay?"
Sakura asked the child.
"Otay."
Sasuke said quietly
After spending a extra five minutes on the rooftop Sakura decided to head back to the restaurant to see if the food arrived.
(Inside)
Sakura walked back inside the restaurant with Sasuke in her arms and she sat back at her booth to greeted with Naruto and a table full of food.
"Hey guys the food finally just got here."
Naruto said as he immediately started eating he kinda did like the fried pork especially with soy sauce.
"Alright open up Sasuke here comes the birddie."
Sakura cooed at the child.
Sasuke opened his mouth and he had allowed Sakura to feed him and once he was able to finally eat something for that day it made him feel a lot better.
"Mmmm!"
The toddler really liked the food he was being fed.
"It's good right Sasuke."
Sakura said.
Sasuke opened his mouth again wanting more bite of his delicious meal.
"He must have been really hungry I'm surprised he didn't throw a tantrum earlier."
Sakura continued to feed the child.
"Aren't ya gonna eat Sakura?"
Naruto asked concerned with the health of his friend and the child inside her.
"I'm going to eat don't worry, I'm just gonna feed Sasuke first."
Sakura continued to feed Sasuke until he ate through his entire plate of spaghetti.
"He really ate all of it, he must have been starving poor baby."
Sakura rubbed the toddler head she had then noticed Sasuke was struggling to stay awake.
"And now he's tired."
Naruto said.
"I don't blame him."
Sakura began to cradle Sasuke in her arms.
"Noo nap."
Sasuke said tiredly.
Sakura shushed the child as he slowly began to drift off to sleep.
Sasuke had then stopped struggling to stay awake he had soon succumb to sporific effect that was overcoming him and he had soon started to softly snore.
"Aww he's asleep."
Sakura laid the child next her while she had the child's head rest on her lap.
"Now I can eat."
Sakura said as she took no time to eat her food because she had not ate anything yet either.
After the two young adults finished their meals Naruto and Sakura split the bill and they both left the restaurant and figured since there wasn't much else to do today they should just walk home for the rest of the day.
...
"Hey Sakura."
"Yes Naruto."
....
"How are we make this work out...this whole thing that's going on?"
Naruto asked.
...
"Well I'll take care of Sasuke and you leave if you want this is my responsibility and I don't want to drag you along."
Sakura said as she sighed although she will need the help she can't drag Naruto along with her, he has a life and someone who loves him.
"I'll still help ya out don't worry... Sasuke can live with me while you worry about your baby."
Naruto said.
....
"We can both take care of him and whenever you need to do stuff you can do it I don't want to hold you back okay."
Sakura said.
"Okay sounds like a plan especially since I'm.... never mind."
Naruto quickly cut himself off.
Sakura was a little intrigued in Naruto's previous sentence.
"What you can tell."
Sakura said reassuring her friend.
"Well I was gonna....make....a honest man out of myself soon."
...
....
Sakura gasped.
"You're gonna propose to her!"
"Shhh not so loud...and keep it secret I don't want to spoil the surprise ya know."
Naruto said.
"Okay my lips are sealed."
Sakura said.
"Good."
Naruto started to blush.
.....
"Why don't we call it day Naruto and we can try to figure this out tomorrow okay."
Sakura said.
"But the day just started Sakura."
Naruto whined.
"Naruto it's almost six in the afternoon."
Sakura said.
"Really sheesh time really does fly... I guess we can go home."
Naruto said.
Sakura smiled and she started walking home with Naruto following right behind her.
.....
"Wait!"
Naruto quickly shouted.
"What!?"
Sakura said surprised.
Naruto created three shadow clones and both himself and his clones surrounded Sakura in all directions.
"Just gotta protect you and the baby...babies"
Naruto said.
.....
"Hinata gonna love being your wife Naruto."
Sakura said as she laughed.
Naruto and Sakura walked back to their respective houses and they both rested for remainder of the day.
