The sound of feet hitting the floor echoed on the walls of the palace of Sindria as the young eight-year-old ran through the hallways, his long purple ponytail swaying wildly behind him.

"Coming through!" he yelled as he took a sharp left turn, barely avoiding crushing into a couple of guards that were doing their usual rounds through that part of the palace. He rushed past them, completely ignoring their calls.

"Prince Kayden!" shouted the older of the guards in a futile attempt to slow him down and sighed when the boy disappeared around another corner.

"Who do you think he's running from this time?" asked the second guard in amusement. After all, the sight of their young prince running throughout the palace was a rather common one, not to mention a source of amusement for the guards. The boy was witty and bright, always with a smile on his face and constantly up to something.

The older of the two shrugged. "How should I know?" He chuckled. "Heh, like father like son…"

XxxOxOxOxxX

The young boy glanced over his shoulder as he ran through the hallway. There was no one behind him but he knew better. His pursuer had definitely not given up the hunt and was probably waiting for the right time to strike. He raised his eyes up ahead and beamed at the sight of the familiar door that also marked his salvation. He willed his legs to go faster and burst through the door, not caring to knock.

"Dad! Save me! I need to hide!"

Sinbad looked up from the documents in his hands in surprise and glanced at his son, who was staring up at him with frantic green eyes.

"Kayden? What's wrong?"

"You have to help me hide! Mom's gonna kill me!"

Sinbad chuckled as his son ran around his office in a search of a hiding place. He put a hand on the boy's shoulder to stop him and picked him up. "Ok, buddy. Calm down and tell me. What did you do this time?"

"I didn't do anything!" the purple-haired youth defended himself while panting hard from all the running.

Sinbad sent his son a pointed look. "Kayden…"

The little boy looked away. "Ok, I might have done something….."

"There you are!"

Both males turned around at the sound of that voice and little Kayden immediately tried to hide deeper in his father's embrace. For there, tapping her foot on the floor with a stern expression on her face, stood the Queen of Sindria in all her glory, Haruno Sakura. The woman walked inside the room with her emerald eyes never leaving the form of her son hiding in her husband's arms. She came to stand in front of them and crossed her arms across her chest.

Taking the hint, Sinbad settled his son on the ground and took a step back but not before flashing his wife a grin. Sakura was the most loving and affectionate of mothers but when it came to their boy behaving and staying safe, she could be pretty strict about her rules.

The pink-haired woman held her son under her scrutinizing emerald eyes, watching him shift uncomfortably on his feet, refusing to look at her.

"Kayden, look at me." she ordered sternly.

Hesitantly, the young boy raised his eyes and took an involuntary step back when he was met with his mother's frown.

"What have I told you about going inside Auntie Yamraiha's lab?"

The young Sinbad look-alike mumbled something under his breath, his fingers playing with his sleeves, completely unlike his usual energetic self.

"I can't hear you."

The little boy blushed, scratching the back of his head like he always did when he was nervous, a trait he had inherited from his father among many others. "That I mustn't go inside unless Auntie Yamraiha is with me….."

"Then why did you go?" asked Sakura, leaning closer to her son with her hands on her hips.

Kayden looked up at him mother. "But mom! Auntie promised that she'd take me there today and then she didn't show up and I really wanted to go and-"

"Don't throw excuses at me!" Sakura cut him off. "You could have gotten hurt, Kayden!"

The eight-year-old crossed his arms stubbornly across his chest. "Yeah right! I'm not a baby anymore! I know how to take care of myself!"

"Your mother's right, Kayden." interjected Sinbad, placing a hand on the stubborn boy's purple hair. "Auntie Yamraiha has a lot of stuff in there that can prove dangerous for someone who doesn't know how to use them. We both know that you are capable of taking care of yourself but accidents happen. What would mom and I do if you got hurt?"

The emerald-eyed boy stared up at his father in surprise before lowering his gaze to the ground. A pair of fingers lifted his chin and he found himself gazing in his mother's gentle green eyes as she kneeled in front of him.

"We don't like scolding you, Kayden. But we only do it because we love you and don't want anything bad to happen to you. Mom and dad only want to see you safe and happy." She cupped her son's cheek and began stroking it with her thumb. "Do you understand?"

The little boy nodded making Sakura smile. "That's my boy! Now, give mommy a big kiss!" she said and opened her arms. The purple-haired youth circled his arms around her neck and gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek making her giggle.

"Now, promise me that you won't go inside Auntie Yamraiha's lab unless she is with you." she added when the boy pulled back from her embrace.

The young boy couldn't help the pout that appeared on his face and Sakura fought down the urge to just glomp him right them and there. Her son was just too cute for his own good. "But Auntie Yamraiha always hides all the cool stuff when she takes me with her!"

"Kayden…" warned Sakura with a pointed look. "What did we just say?"

"Alright, alright! I promise. Can I go play with Uncle Drakon now?"

Sinbad smiled widely and ruffled his son's hair. "I think he's learnt his lesson. Don't you think, Sakura?" he said, flashing his wife another grin.

The pink-haired woman smiled. "I think he has." She kissed her son's forehead and gave his cheek an affectionate pinch. "Go on, sweetheart, have fun. And don't forget to annoy your Uncle Sharrkan for me, will you?" she yelled after him as the little boy ran out of the room and closed the door behind him, eager to go find Drakon, who-surprisingly-had developed a soft spot for his King and Queen's adventurous son. The woman sighed and shook her head. "I swear, he becomes more and more like you every day that passes." she said as she walked up to her husband and circled her arms around him neck.

"And how is that a bad thing?" asked Sinbad with a raised eyebrow as he settled his hands on his Queen's waist.

"Don't get me started on that." she answered with giggle and leaned in to kiss him on the lips. Sinbad immediately tightened his hold on her waist and deepened the kiss before starting to trail kisses down her neck.

"What do you want me to get you this year?" she asked suddenly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The Anniversary of the Foundation of Sindria is coming up in a couple of weeks."

"Oh, that…."

"Yeah, that." she said as she began to play with the hair at the base of his neck. "I figured that I'd ask you a bit earlier this year so I can get everything ready by that time. It is no easy thing to pick out a present for a King, you know."

"You and Kayden are the only presents I need." he replied, kissing her bare shoulder.

"Oh no. You are not seducing your way out of this, mister." she said, slapping the back of his head lightly.

"I am trying to do no such thing." he replied, feigning offense as he continued to leave butterfly kisses on her skin.

"Yeah right. You just want to forget that another year is passing and you are getting older." said Sakura and smirked inwardly when his lips froze on her skin. It was nothing but a momentary hesitation of his lips, barely noticeable-Sinbad was an expert when it came to maintaining a poker face-but she knew better. She had hit a nerve…..

"I'll have you know that I have no problem with my age….."

Sakura raised an eyebrow, sending him a look that clearly said 'are-you-kidding-me' before running her fingers through his long purple ponytail. "What is this? A white hair?"

Sinbad froze. "What? Pluck it out right-" he began to say but caught himself just in time. "Oh no! I'm not falling for that a second time."

Sakura threw her head back and laughed as she remembered her husband's face when she had told him that he had white hair. The look of horror on his face made her laugh every single time she recalled that particular prank. It still caused laughter and giggles among the Eight Generals, especially Jafar and Sharrkan who had been present. "Admit it. It was funny as hell."

"Don't push it….."

Sakura giggled and gave him a peck on his lips. "Seriously now, what do you want me to get you? It is already bad enough that the Royal Family from Kou will be joining us again this year. You have no idea how difficult it is to please those people. I have preparations to make and you know I don't like last-minute situations."

Sinbad sighed and tightened his hold on his wife's waist. "You won't stop asking until I tell you, right?"

"Of course. You know me too well, my King." answered the pink-haired woman with a wide smile and focused her eyes on her husband's face.

For a while Sinbad had a thoughtful expression on his face and Sakura was about to give him a nudge to snap him out of it when he beat her to it. All of sudden, a smirk bloomed on his lips, making Sakura raise an eyebrow. After ten years of marriage she knew the purple-haired man like the back of her hand and that smirk only meant that he had something in mind. And more often than not, that something involved her as well.

"Then…." he trailed off and Sakura squealed in surprise when he turned her around and pressed her up against his desk. The passionate kiss that followed caught her slightly off guard but she quickly found herself responding with equal fervor, her fingers tangling themselves in his hair. He traced her jaw with his lips, leading up to her ear while his hands guided her legs around his waist. He nipped on her earlobe, making her shiver.

"I want a daughter."

Sakura looked up at him in surprise before releasing a breathy laugh. "Then we should get to work." she purred in his ear, watching him through half-lidded eyes. Ten years of marriage and those enticing emerald eyes could still make his heart race. He attacked her neck with his lips, sucking on her sensitive spots while his fingers made quick work of undoing the laces keeping her dress together as her own hands released his shoulders from his robes.

"Sinbad, what if Jafar walks in on us again?" she murmured against his lips, glancing at the door over his shoulder.

"No need to worry about that. I sent him to run some errands around the harbor. It'll be a while before he returns." answered the man before re-focusing his attention on her neck, trailing lower with his lips as she moaned and dug her nails in the flesh of his bare back, making him hiss in pleasure.

"Sin, there is a document I need you to-For God's sake, learn to lock the damn door!"

THE END

I just couldn't resist! I mean, a reviewer suggested the idea and it's been on my mind since that day, so I thought I'd give it a go. I knew exactly what I wanted to write so it didn't take me long to finish this and that's why I uploaded it so quickly. Well, Sinbad is now a married man and a daddy! Who would have thought! I really think that he'd make a great father! Kayden is one lucky kid to have Sinbad and Sakura for parents, don't you think? XD And now that I think about it, the life of King Sinbad, Queen Sakura and Prince 'Daredevil' Kayden is not a bad idea for a series of one-shots showing parts of their everyday lives. Hmmm… But I feel sorry for poor Jafar…He already had Sinbad to 'babysit' and it appears that his Queen is not much better! And with a Prince showing more and more signs of Sinbad-ness(?)…. Lol I hope you enjoyed this Bonus Chapter! Thank you again for supporting this story and for all your wonderful reviews! I've already started working on your requests, so expect new one-shots very soon! Hope to hear from all of you soon!

Lots of love!
