SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 6: Thank You

His hand falls to the little lump on her belly, he can feel
the new life forming inside her. Proof that there is hope after war, after
everything he’s seen.

Sasuke feels her hand on his face, it lingers on his cheek
and when he looks up to meet her gaze he’s taken aback. You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. She smiles, small
but bright.

“Wait until you meet our daughter.” She murmurs and it takes
him a moment to notice he had spoken the words out loud.

“Daughter?” He asks out loud, he hadn’t thought about that.

“Or son, it’s still too early to know.”

“No, no. It will be a girl.” He speaks with certainty, it’s
something he feels and something she feels as well. “I hope she has your eyes.”

“That is very unlikely, there’s a higher chance she’ll be
born with your dark eyes-”

“That’s not what I meant.” He interrupts her, before adding
in a gentle murmur, “I hope she inherits you’re way of looking at the world,
the way your eyes shine.” I hope my curse
won’t taint her. The last he doesn’t say aloud, but he knows Sakura hears
it anyway.

“Well thanks to me, she might not get the Sharingan.” She speaks
the words half-afraid, as if it were a bad thing. A part of him is hoping she
won’t, Sakura knows this as well, but she doesn’t share his fears. She’s sure
the curse of hatred is behind them, and maybe she’s right, because it is love
that drives them forward now.

“Thank you.”
