Pain, and frustration. These were the two emotions Sakura were feeling right now, she was in the hospital with her husband beside her. Sasuke held her hand, and softly spoke to Sakura.
''Deep breaths.'' He chanted every few minutes, ''Deep breaths.''
At first, Sakura was excited about the thought of becoming the mother of Sasuke's child. But after 9 months of feeling disgusting, and getting fatter each, and every day, along with the constant mood swings, her opinion changed completely. Pregnancy was not fun, at least not for this pink haired kunoichi.
Biting down on her bottom lip, she kept trying her best to do deep breaths. Her hold on Sasuke's hand tightened, causing his eye to twitch as he tried to pretend the pain wasn't bothering him. Sasuke tried his best to be beside her through the entire pregnancy process, unfortunately he was flooded with missions but whenever he was to return, he'd immediately make sure that Sakura was doing well.
''I can see the head.'' Shizune announced, as she was the one helping Sakura give birth.
''Hurry the hell up and get this baby out of me!'' Sakura practically roared, causing Shizune to flinch with slight fear.
Sasuke ran his fingers through her pink locks, at an attempt to comfort her. He never saw anyone give birth before, but he had to admit Sakura was rather terrifying when doing it.
''Push a little more, Sakura.'' Shizune told her, and Sakura tried her best to do as she was told.
Within a few minutes, baby cries echoed the room. Sasuke's heart suddenly began to beat faster, his palms suddenly getting sweaty. A smile rested on his lips, leaning down he kissed Sakura on the cheek. ''You did it...''
A relieved smile formed on Sakura's lips, panting from the exhaustion of child birth. ''I'm a mother...''
''And... I'm a father.'' He gave her hand a gentle squeeze, they both glanced over at Shizune who held the baby in her arms and began cleaning it off.
''It's a beautiful girl.'' Shizune announced, wrapping it in a warm, pink blanket and walking over to Sakura. Shizune placed the baby in her arms, ''I'll be back with some baby formula.'' she said before walking out of the room.
Sakura smiled softly, staring at the baby in her arms. Tears began swelling up in her eyes, ''She looks just like her father.'' She couldn't help but be so happy, she finally had a child with the man she loved. Sakura had no regrets, except the horrible pain she just finished experiencing.
Sasuke glanced down at the baby silently, indeed it was beautiful. She had his hair, and his eyes. A small smile rested on his lips, he never felt so happy, and proud in his entire life. They brought a new life into the world, who's surname was Uchiha. If Sasuke had any regrets... it was that this child wouldn't be able to meet her uncle.
The one person who was able to fill the void in his heart, was Sakura, and this child. That's all he really needed, this was his family and he was going to love them till' the day he died, and even after that.
Sakura scooted over on the hospital bed, and gestured towards Sasuke to sit beside her. He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close to him, then she leaned her head on his chest comfortably. ''What should we name her?'' she asked suddenly, causing Sasuke to think.
They haven't really thought of a name for her yet, which was kind of a bad idea. There were so many possibilities on what to name her, and Sasuke really wanted his first child to have an amazing, unique kind of name.
''Salada?'' He suggested.
''Salad?'' Sakura's eye twitched at the odd name suggestion, since she had misheard what he had really said.
''...No, Salada.'' Sasuke said once again, letting out a sigh. Why in the world would he name his child salad? He loved tomatoes, but not enough to name his child something that... odd.
Sakura chuckled a bit, since the name still sounded like Salad. Although, it was an interesting name nonetheless. Sakura didn't exactly have any better names, but she felt bad for how people would think of her name when she was older. Sighing, she just decided to agree with her husband's idea.
''Alright, whatever you say...'' She playfully rolled her eyes, cradling the girl in her arms.
''Hn.'' Was all Sasuke said, before there was an abrupt silence between the two. They both were staring at Salada, admiring how adorable she was. The girl was currently sleeping, and Sasuke resisted the urge to ask Sakura to hold her. He felt nervous.
Yes, the amazing Sasuke Uchiha of Konoha felt too nervous to hold a mere newborn infant.
''Wanna hold her?'' Sakura suddenly offered, causing Sasuke to froze with anxiety. His palms became sweaty again, even more since he wore gloves.
''...Uh..'' was all he uttered out.
Sakura was extremely amused at how flustered he got when it came to his own child. She held back a laugh.
''...I don't know...'' He managed to say, looking away with embarrassment. Sakura knew he was hiding a blush on his face. ''My hands are too sweaty.''
