All of Me

And so comes the end!

I hope you all have enjoyed the story. I'll be writing some things hopefully for KS month this year, and maybe starting an ATLA AU KS fic. Who knows!

Love y'all

KAKASHI

…

Kakashi waited by a gazebo overlooking a river. In front of him was a small dock with a canoe tied to it. A spring breeze fluttered his hair and blew cherry blossoms into the water. Sakura walked up to the gazebo and took his arm.

"Where are we going, Kakashi?"

"You'll see. It's a surprise."

Leaves and blossoms floated in the breeze as Kakashi untied the canoe and helped Sakura into the vessel. He took the oars and shoved off the dock.

They drifted down the river for a good 20 minutes until they came to a small widening in the river, which created a beautiful little clearing in the canopy of trees above them. The sun glittered on the water, mostly covered with cherry blossoms. In the middle of the clearing was a small island almost entirely taken up by a cherry tree.

Kakashi stopped the canoe at the island and as he tied it up, Sakura got out. Kakashi took her hand and led her to the back half of the island, revealing a perfect picnicking location with lush green grass on a flat area. It would be the ultimate place for a couple to waste the day away.

But Kakashi had other plans.

He dropped to one knee and pulled a small box from his jacket pocket.

"Sakura Haruno." Her hand flew to her mouth as she realized just what he was doing.

"We've had a lot of terrible things happen to us in the time we've been together. And I'm not guaranteeing that we won't face more bad things in the future. But I would like to continue being there for you in the good and the bad. I'd like to continue our life together… with you as my wife. Will you marry me?"

Happy tears escaped her eyes.

"Yes! Oh, Kakashi! Yes I'll marry you!"

Kakashi slid the ring on her finger and pulled her into his arms, spinning her around with enough gusto to lift her feet off the ground. On her face was the widest smile he'd ever seen on her face. And he desperately wanted more of them. A grin grew on his face until it matched hers.

…

SAKURA

…

Wedding planning was easy for them. They each had a couple of friends who wanted in and all the two had to do was show up to appointments and such. Ino took care of Sakura's end, and Kakashi's butlers had his.

The wedding was set to take place in the fall, in a beautiful outdoor meadow that was said to be the most amazing place during the leaf changing season.

Her dress was a beautiful ivory, tight in the bust with a corset type top that flowed to a long silk train embroidered heavily with tiny beads and lace. Sakura had thought it too much, but her friends and mother had thought otherwise and convinced her.

"It's so pretty, and it makes you look like a goddess," Ino had told her.

"Kakashi-san won't be able to keep his hands off you!" Sakura had blushed at that. She hoped her mother wasn't judging her too much. She knew her parents had been a bit uncomfortable with her living with Kakashi in the first place and not being married. They were too traditional for Sakura's tastes.

Her bridesmaids' dresses were a beautiful orange-red, made of satin and were flowy things that made her bridesmaids glow. They were all beautiful.

For flowers they decided to go with irises, cherry blossoms and baby's breath. It was a simple bouquet, but Sakura wasn't the type to care too much for fancy things. I just want to get it over with and be married already.

…

And her day came. It started early and went late. The highlight of her day? Outside the festivities and all her friends… it was seeing Kakashi's face as she walked down the aisle. He looked like the happiest man she'd ever seen. She could have never seen herself with anyone else. Her father walked her down the aisle and Sakura couldn't help the grin on her face as he gave her to Kakashi.

Their 'priest' ended up being Tsunade. Neither of the two were really religious, so they didn't know any actual priests and didn't belong to any church. Tsunade had just piped up one day saying she had the certification and it was settled.

…

"Sakura Haruno, you've found your way into my very soul, I can't see myself with anyone else, or without you. I promise to always be there for you, to keep things interesting, to hold you and love you until the day I die and into the beyond."

"Kakashi Hatake. You're my most amazing second half. We've already been to hell and back and it's been a wild ride, but it's only the first act. I promise that should we take a second trip, I'll be right there with you. I will be your shoulder to lean on, to be your one and only," she leaned in at this part, "plus I'll definitely keep it interesting…. In bed."

She was rewarded with a very attractive blush.

"Kakashi Hatake. Do you take Sakura Haruno as your wife, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health til death do you part?"

"I do."

"And do you, Sakura Haruno. Take Kakashi Hatake as your husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, til death do you part?"

"I do."

They slid rings on each other's fingers. Goosebumps ran up Sakura's arms. I'm a married woman.

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride!"

Kakashi pulled her in close and swept her hair away from her face before leaning in for a beautiful, passionate kiss. Sakura just held on, her other hand full of flowers. Woops from the crowd broke them apart and they turned to their audience, their shit-eating grins akin to those of bank robbers who have just gotten away with it.

…

The reception went late into the night. Dancing, music, food and good company were all shared. Tsunade gave them keys to a new larger apartment further up in the complex, much larger with several more bedrooms.

"For you to fill with grandbabies." She had said. Most of the other gifts they received were small household essentials. Except for one envelope attached to a full set of luggage. The envelope was stuffed and heavy.

Inside was a brochure for Capri, Italy.

Two plane tickets with an all-inclusive stay on the island for a week, along with quite a bit of money.

The envelope didn't have a name on it.

That didn't stop them, they knew it must have been from someone there.

They were going to honeymoon in Italy!

"You guys better get packing, those tickets leave in the morning." Sakura's father approached them afterwards.

"Dad, you guys… you didn't have to…"

"We didn't. At least not alone. Everyone chipped in. We all hope you have a great honeymoon. Now get on home, we'll handle everything here. And we expect babies within a year."

Tears threatened to spill out her eyes.

"Aw… you guys…" The alcohol was making her weepy, and Kakashi held her elbow to keep her upright.

"Let's go home, Sakura."

And they did. A car was waiting for them and they drove back to Konoha Towers. Kakashi ended up packing them up along, as Sakura passed out right when they got home. Perfect opportunity to slip in a little gift I got her at the festival…

The next morning they were on a ten hour flight to Rome. Their excitement was palpable, neither had left the country before.

Upon arriving in Rome, a man in a suit awaited them at the airport, holding a sign that read Mr. and Mrs. Hatake. That's right I'm married. Mrs. Hatake now… She played with the ring on her finger and looked at her husband. I love him so much.

The man escorted them to a vehicle and they were off. The Italian country side was gorgeous. Their ride was only a few hours to the coast. Once there they took a ferry to the island. Sakura's stomach was wary on the boat, but she got used to it.

Upon reaching the island, another escort awaited them. His name was Luigi.

"Hello and welcome to Capri! Let me take you to your hotel, then we have some plans for you!"

"Thanks." They said. Honestly food and sleep sounds great, I didn't not get enough on the plane.

Their hotel was a giant fancy thing, and Sakura was glad they didn't have to pay for it. The whole place was a regal white with sconces, columns and filigree everywhere. Every room had a balcony and they were awestruck.

Once inside, their room was on the 15th floor. They rode a surprisingly modern elevator up to their floor and found their room. It was a huge suite, everything pristine and clean and white. There was one giant king bed made up with red sheets. The bathroom was overflowing with various towels and soaps. In the suite were two chairs, a table, a television and a small refrigerator.

They left their luggage in the room and rejoined Luigi in the lobby.

"Is everything to your liking?"

"It's excellent!" Sakura gushed.

"I'm very happy the room exceeds your expectations. Right now it's about 6:30 PM. We have a delicious meal prepared for you in our restaurant."

"Kakashi, that sounds great…" He smiled at her and nodded.

"Great, follow me." The man took them back to the elevator and they rode down to the sub lobby. Awaiting them was a large dining area overlooking the rest of the island. There was a small table set for them and the rest of the room was practically empty. Their guide showed them to their table and they sat down. A waiter poured them two glasses of excellent champagne and they were waited on hand and foot. There was no menu, they were just served an excellent four course meal. First a fresh salad, then a delicious pasta, followed by a meat dish that Sakura would later find out was veal. It tasted good at the time but it made her stomach turn later. Lastly they were treated to delicious cannoli.

After their meal, they finally got to sleep. Their bed was amazingly soft and the two slept wonderfully through the night. At about seven in the morning Luigi had reappeared, bright and cheerful. They joined him, hoping for breakfast.

"We'll have breakfast after. WE have to go now."

And they did. The two got on a small boat with Luigi and he took them out and around some interesting places just off the island. Through giant rocks with holes through them just large enough for the boat.

One in particular will stay with Sakura forever. The boat pulled into a grotto and as they waited, the water was hit at just the right angel from the sun, and the whole cave was the most beautiful blue. The boat seemed to be consumed by the bright glowing blue of the water. Sakura looked at Kakashi and his face was split in the biggest grin she'd ever seen.

"Sakura this is so cool."

"I KNOW!"

She saw Luigi smile at them. They stared in awe at the water for another 10 minutes before the angle changed and the sun went with it. They left eh grotto and Sakura lazily watched the water as they floated back to the island. The water was so clear she could see all the way to the bottom.

"I can see all the way down… How deep is this water?"

"Ahh… something like 300 feet. Maybe a little less or more."

Gulp. Damn that's deep.

Upon getting back to the island, their guide offered more activities for them, but Kakashi declined.

"No thanks, Luigi… maybe later?"

"Of course, sir. I'm available any tie, just have the hotel ring me." He turned and left them alone. Kakashi shut the door to their room and turned to her.

"Finally… I get some alone time with my wife. Time to do what we came here to do…"

"Oh thank GOD."

The rest of the vacation consisted of one or two activities, endless room service, and copious amounts of sex.

…

They were reluctant to leave, but knew it was time to head back.

"This was really fun, Kakashi."

"I had a lot of fun too, Sakura."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

…

KAKASHI

…

Eight and a half months later….

"Kakashi…"

"Yes darling?"

"I need…" Her voice cut off.

"What? What do you need? What's the matter?"

"I need to go to the hospital. NOW."

"Okay!" Kakashi grabbed their hospital bag and took Sakura's hand. I hope everything is okay… She's still early…

Kakashi drove to the hospital in what felt like record time, Sakura squeezing his hand tightly the entire way.

"What are we naming her?" Sakura gasped. Several names had passed between the two, but nothing was solid yet.

"We'll decide once we see her."

…

And 18 hours later, they did. 18 long hours of labor later and they got to meet their beautiful baby girl.

Kiseki Hatake.

She was a beautiful thing with her father's silver hair.

Two years later came their second: Akihiko. A tiny boy with peach colored locks.

Everything was perfect.

The only thing they ever wished for were five more minutes of sleep in the morning.

They had… The Most Beautiful Family in the World.

Fin.

Thanks again for reading you guys!
