I Do Not Own Naruto

Uchiha

Sasuke wasn't one to worry about catching a wife.

He had had Sakura since they had been children, she always loved him and always would. It didn't matter dark or gruesome or dangerous he could be, it didn't matter that he had tried to kill her or that she had tried to kill him, it didn't matter that they weren't together all the time because he knew she loved him and he loved her. Things for them had changed though when they had become lovers. Drastically changed because within a matter of minutes Sakura's infinite amount of choices in life were narrowed down to the ones only involving him because once he had a taste of her he wasn't giving her up. She was his, she was his queen and his only.

And it being only him and Sakura was fine with him. He didn't need anyone else really. True he had a few friends who had dared to trust him after everything he had done but he didn't have many. So having Sakura as his wife managed to both infuriate the villagers and make his friends happy. Not that he cared, all he cared about was that he finally had her. That was how he had gotten the first woman in his life and he was content with her.

Families weren't his thing, he didn't think he'd be father material and he knew any child of his would be an outcast for simply being his. The dobe and his wife were happily caring for their first child. Sauske pitied the dobe's kid because the poor bastard looked just like his father, blond hair and brilliant blue eyes with two whiskers on each cheek. Poor kid never stood a chance if you asked him, it was so painfully obvious he was related to the dobe.

But Sasuke was happy for his idiotic friend but he and Sakura didn't need children despite what the dobe said. Children would be a hassle and honestly he did not want any child of his to live as an outcast because of who their father was. Sakura though would be a fantastic mother, he saw it in her. She was so loving and caring it would be difficult for her not to be a good mother. He remembered pulling the pinkette to him and thinking she was enough family for him.

Sarada being born was a shock which throw him for a loop. In all honest Sakura had never looked pregnant. True she had been sick some days but he and she both attributed her sickness to over working, and though her breasts had been tender they hadn't exactly been inactive in their love making so she just blamed him for her discomfort. She had put on a little weight but nothing too significant, even in his mind there was nothing wrong with her besides the weight did nice things to her beautiful curves and mostly filled her out a little more. And there had been mood swings but nothing dramatic; beside Sakura was an expressive, emotional woman by nature so they hadn't worried about it.

Then they had gone on that mission, it wasn't anything special and it had just been him, her and Naruto because this was before Naruto was Hokage.

There had been nothing special about the mission, other than Sakura's discomfort when she was resting. It was as if she had to be active to feel fine, he had caught onto this but hadn't said anything at the time. Naruto and him both kept an eye on her. They had received a message that Naruto was needed in the village, Sasuke and Sakura decided to continue with the mission. They had made it about six hours before Sakura could barely walk she was in so much pain, he was relieved that the weather was too bad for them to continue since she wouldn't complain about her pain and would force herself to continue with him. He didn't want that though, he just wished his wife wasn't so stubborn sometimes so he could care for her when she needed care, like now. They had made it into a cave with a storm raging on outside of them. It was really late and would be dawn in a few hours, he knew that much.

It had shocked them both when Sakura was stripping and there was a huge splash of water. He remembered staring at his wife while she stared dumbfounded at her feet and the dirt that was soaked around her feet. Then she had moaned, her head fell back and she sank to her knees. He had panicked thinking she was dying, she merely composed herself. He had just about had a heart attack when she reached between her legs and hissed.

"Sasuke," she had said in a pained but calmed voice. "I think I'm having a baby."

He had just about fainted then and there but she groaned again hugging herself in pain. He just held her in his arms and did what she instructed. It was a wild, long, hour. Definitely the longest night of his life. Sakura fought like a warrior to bring their unexpected baby into the world, she always fought hard but he had never seen her like this as she screamed and cursed him to bring their unknown child into the world.

She was born just before the dawn broke over the storm. She came screaming right into his hands and Sakura had collapsed panting. She was so small it was unnerving to him, but she scrunched up her little face and screamed bloody murder at him. It was as if she were demanding something but they didn't understand. Sasuke carefully wrapped the babe up, he did what Sakura instructed and sliced her umbilical cord, separating mother from child, then he held his girls in his arms. Sakura closed her eyes a bit as she held their daughter who finally settled and sucked on her mom's exposed breast. He just sat there in wonder and shock.

A lot of shock.

"Did you know?" he asked her in a hoarse voice as he rested against the wall of the cave and held his wife in his arms. The pinkette shook her head, he touched the babe's cheek the looked at his wife who was staring at the suckling child.

"Sakura?" he said her name softly, she blinked at him then.

"There were no signs! I didn't have a belly or anything! There was no movement and I swear I had my period every month!" she defended herself frantically as she tightened her hold on their baby. He wondered why she was being so panicky, he was the one who was freaking out here. But there was a wild, almost ferral look in his wife's eye which had him wanting to sooth her.

"I know," he had replied simply as he held her close to him. She sighed as she leaned against him again. He lightly traced the breast his daughter was intently sucking on and Sakura closed her eyes.

"How'd we miss this?" he asked.

"I don't know," she replied honestly. He just nodded then. They were both busy, they rarely saw each other and when they did they usually jumped each other. Sakura's moods, weight gain and discomfort could be attributed to the pregnancy neither father nor mother had known about. He knew her chakra signature and never not a once had there been another signature within her. Of that he was certain.

The light of a new day kissed the newest Uchiha as she held onto her mother.

"What are we going to do Sasuke?" Sakura asked softly when the new Uchiha yawned and closed her onyx eyes. Sasuke rested his chin on his wife's shoulder and tried to think. Honestly he was still wallowing in shock from becoming a father when he had never really planned on having a child. She'd be cursed, just like his entire family was cursed, and she'd be shunned because she was an Uchiha and she was his daughter.

But as he stared down at her sleeping and Sakura shyly covering her breast he couldn't find it in him to hate the child. She was innocent with a tuff of black hair and onyx eyes like him but he could clearly see Sakura's resemblance in the girl's face and eyes. She'd be a knock out when she was older if she took after her mother, the thought had him paling slightly.

"You and she will rest here and I'll take care of you," he answered seriously. Sakura was in pain and he knew it.

"Alright," Sakura yawned as her eyes fluttered shut. He just stared at his girls sleeping soundly in his arms. His prosthetic hand reached out and softly traced his daughter's cheeks as he held them.

This had been the start of his little world. Sakura had stayed in the cave for two weeks, hiding her chakra and their daughter's chakra while he tracked down their target. He accomplished their mission then he helped Sakura and their daughter (who they had yet to name at this point in time) home. Sakura was very sore so the journey was not fast.

Upon arriving to the village with Sakura holding her pink bundle; who she would not let go of to save her life; they were rushed by Naruto. Naruto would've tackled his wife and daughter if he had not caught the idiot by the collar and thrown him back, Sakura hid behind him then holding her baby.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR TEME!" Naruto roared when he got to his feet.

The roar woke the baby who screamed in retaliation at the noise. It was then that the greeting party noticed Sakura's and his baby. The girl was not happy as she screamed at them for disrupting her sleep. Though there were obviously a lot of questions, but they were on hold as he took Sakura and his daughter to the hospital with the dobe silently trailing behind them.

They were patiently waiting in the waiting room while Tsunade checked Sakura and the youngest Uchiha over. The dobe was sitting with him as if in shock. It wasn't like the dobe's wife had just magically given birth to a baby! At least when Hinata had been pregnant she had looked pregnant; very pregnant like she had been expect two or three rather than the one. While Sakura had never even looked pregnant with one.

"Where'd you and Sakura pick up the baby?" Naruto asked. Sasuke swatted his friend as he sat there still in a daze in the hospital waiting room. Shock did not even begin to describe how he felt towards the newest Uchiha but he did not have to tolerate the dobe and his idiotic remarks while he was in this shock!

"She's ours," Said firmly as he sat there still dumbfounded.

Holy shit he was a father!

And unlike the dobe next to him he hadn't had any time to prepare for this! Holy shit! He wanted to run, now, just grab Sakura and run. He didn't know what to do about this. Kids were not something he ever planned on! And though he talked about possibly rebuilding his clan he hadn't really meant it, why bring more hatred into the world?

"Teme?" Naruto shoved his shoulder, he looked up at Tsunade and stood then. He was still in shock as he looked the older woman over from head to toe, she was wearing a stern expression on her face and he paled. Something was wrong, Sakura was hurt, the baby wasn't healthy, something was wrong!

"Mother and child are healthy, Sakura's healing quite well but that's to be expected. Your daughter is a perfectly healthy bouncing baby girl, which is shocking because I did not know Sakura was pregnant," Tsunade gave him an accusing look which had him taking a step back.

"In any case you should go be with them Uchiha," Tsunade smiled then. Sasuke did as he was ordered and hurried into the room before his wife's old mentor would change her mind and pumle him. He stopped when he saw Sakura curled up in a chair, their baby again feeding and a distant look in the pinkette's emerald eyes.

"We haven't named her," Sakura looked at him then. He walked over to his wife and daughter.

"Sarada," he said automatically. Sakura blinked. He was shocked he even had a voice at this point and he was even more shocked when he told her the name his mother wanted to use on him if he had been a girl. Thank kami he hadn't been a girl though, else he'd have never gotten Sakura.

"That's pretty," Sakura agreed as he knelt in front of her. His wife's lips curled in a slight smile as she sat there looking at him. "You know, I apparently carried her for nine months but she still looks and acts like you, that's not fair."

"We didn't even know about her, if you wish to talk about unfair," Sasuke reminded her.

They both looked at what they had created and he held them in his arm. He wouldn't always be around, he knew that with all the missions to come but he'd guard his wife and daughter with his life. Sasuke pressed his lips into Sakura's pink hair and closed his eyes. Though he wasn't ready to be a father he wasn't going fail his daughter.

The years came and went, he wasn't always around and though he missed out on some firsts he was always informed by Sakura what was going on with her and Sarada.

The toddler was toddling around the house on unsteady legs now, he was home for a brief time and he was holding his wife in his lap as they watched the raven haired toddler wobble towards them. Sarada was an extremely agile child when she could be going fast, when she had to walk…she was a little wobbly.

"She's getting better at walking," Sakura insisted when he plopped the toddler in her mother's lap. He said nothing as he sat there enjoying his girls. Sakura yawned a bit, he smiled when Sarada copied her mother and before he really knew what was happening they were both sound asleep. Sakura was sprawled on his chest and Sarada hugged her mother's chest. The smile he had been fighting back since he had come home slipped as he kissed his wife's pink hair and touched his daughter's black locks.

Getting them into respectable beds was not easy, he soon learned that his daughter had definitely inherited her mother's monstrous strength. The toddler had a grip like iron but it was night time and it was bed time and he was not sharing his wife for the night. He was a greedy bastard at heart and liked having Sakura all to himself at times, especially at night.

His lips came to his wife, she moaned as she rolled onto her back beneath him.

"Missed you," she breathed when his lips trailed down her throat. She had no idea how much he missed her as his Sharingan activated to engrave every moment, every reaction, every expression of hers' to his memory. He'd never forget her, he had activated his Sharingan a few times when she and Sarada weren't aware just to engrave perfect moments into his memory. He'd have to leave again, he and Sakura knew it, and it was unknown how long he'd be gone but when he left he'd be taking a bit of her with him.

It was later that night, after thoroughly pleasing his wife, that they lay in bed and he held her tightly against him when there was a thunderous crash from Sarada's room. His eyes snapped open, as did Sakura's, he grabbed his katana and rolled out of bed. Sakura had her kunai and ran a head of him, for which he cursed be hell hath no fury like a mother. He was a step behind his wife when there was a scream, Sarada was wailing her head off and she was in the arms of that redheaded bitch.

Sasuke was fast as he attacked, Karin never stood a chance but still the redhead leapt out the path of his blade. Her red eyes narrowed as she tried to run from him. Sakura was faster, he never recalled seeing Sakura so mad as then, nothing could've stopped her as she attacked Karin. Finally Karin was down, Sakura clutched her daughter to her as she stepped behind him. Snarling he leaned over the woman who was still mad as a hatter.

"What do you want, Karin?"

"Orochimaru will be most interested to hear you have a daughter, Sasuke," and with that the woman vanished. He straightened then looked to his wife who was soothing she crying toddler, Sakura looked utterly ridiculous standing there, he was very glad he had no neighbors then. It would not be decent for them to see his wife like this. However, his Sharingan activated and he etched the sight into his memory while he thought about Karin's words.

"What did she want?" Sakura hissed to him once they had Sarada settled.

"Tomorrow we get a seal to hide her," was all he said as he held his wife who had set Sarada up in their room. He'd hide his daughter and he'd go destroy that pain in his ass once and for all.

Thus began Sarada's need for glasses. It wasn't that the toddler needed them but rather that was the safest way to keep the seal on her and not rouse Naruto's or anyone else's suspicion. Sarada did not like her glasses at first, she had even thrown them at him. Sakura had laughed like a loon, he had not been amused; why did women have to be so annoying!? He smirked when Sarada smashed tomato on Sakura though, and it appeared the glasses wearing toddler did not like the affects the action had to her glasses as she screamed for help.

It had been a fun month but he left on another mission, he wasn't around. Though his Sharingan showed him his family it never showed him his family. There were times he was so homesick for Sakura's cooking that he could barely eat anything and there were times when he'd see a little raven haired girl playing and think it was Sarada. But none of it mattered as he would protect his home so his wife and daughter could be safe.

He returned again, just for a day and was watching the children playing in their playground at school. His daughter was easy to spot, aside from wearing her family crest she was the prettiest child out of all the children there; and no he was not being bias. She was sitting quietly on a swing watching the other kids, he saw a bit of Sakura in her then; he could never remember Sakura playing with the other children either. Perhaps his daughter was just shy, or just quiet. Both were fine with him.

"I thought I'd find you here," he looked at his wife when she walked to stand beside him. His prosthetic arm reached out and pulled her close to him, he buried his nose in her hair and inhaled her sweet scent as he looked at his daughter.

He growled when he saw a familiar blonde idiot running towards his daughter. He didn't know what was said but the young Uchiha stood up slowly and as the blonde continued to eagerly chat away she pulled back her fist and slammed it into the blonde's shoulder sending him sprawling.

"Hentai!" his daughter roared, the blonde sat there rubbing his shoulder glaring at the girl before the two started fighting. Sasuke was torn between concern and amusement. He was amused greatly by his daughter's attitude but he was concerned because it appeared as if she and Boruto were having a relationship like his and Naruto's. He frowned a bit.

"You know she's exactly like you," Sakura announced then he glared at her.

"More like you," he replied then kissed her firmly.

"You're leaving again aren't you." Sakura stated.

"Aa," he replied.

"Come back safe," was all his wife said. He kissed her hard, he kissed her thoroughly, he kissed her as if it was the last time because it could very well be the last time. He had to eliminate a certain threat to his family and thus eliminate a threat to the village.

"Love you," she whispered when he pulled away.

"Hn," he replied then he left.

Six more years passed, not that he really paid much attention to it as he tracked his prey. Someone who could use his Sharingan and was not an Uchiha, a sick creation of Orochimaru no doubt. Sasuke was disgusted with this but he continued to track the threat steadily. Today he decided was as good as time as any to share with Naruto what he had been tracking.

He was sorely tempted to contact Sakura but refrained since he had a fear that she had moved on with her life and found someone else. Six years was a long time, his daughter should be eleven or twelve now and if he just reappeared now he'd probably upset her whole life. It was for the best if he stayed away, he destroyed everything he touched and Sakura was a very good mother. Of this he still had no doubts.

Then he'd been attacked by one of those strange being holding his Sharingan and been furious. Now he waited for Naruto and instead of Naruto he was glaring into a set of Sharingan eyes which had him holding his katana steady. She wasn't Sarada, his mind whispered, she was a thing created by Orochimaru sent to destroy him.

"Papa…?" the girl said frightened and he stopped. That voice, the shape of her eyes, the expresion, her forehead, even her hair. It was all Sakura, all of it, in a way he couldn't help but attack because it was impossible. But as he slammed the blade into the post beside the child's head she started crying and he froze, she looked exactly like Sakura then.

"Sarada? Is that you?" he couldn't believe it, there it was, all the evidence of Sakura right there. She was even wearing the seal to hide her chakra, still. He listened as his daughter angrily yelled at him, he brushed her off most because if he didn't he'd snatch her up and drag her back to her mother when it appeared that she wanted nothing more than to be here. She stormed out crying, he watched as the dobe hurried after his daughter and he stood there feeling useless again.

He had never known how to handle emotion, and he did not know anything about his daughter or her emotions. Terror of the unknown and the uncertain filled him and he wished desperately to have Sakura there. Sakura always knew how to handle the Uchiha clan, even Itatchi had had a soft spot for her. Much to Sasuke's dislike his brother had seemed to like the pinkette. He stared as his friend comforted his daughter then the attack happened. Sasuke reacted quickly he couldn't let his friend or daughter be hurt.

He had been shocked when his katana had stabbed Naruto, he had been furious but it did not compare to the fear he felt when he saw Sarada in genuine danger as her black eyes widened. He reacted, there was no thought to his actions as he shielded his child. The paralyzing pain coursed through him as blades stabbed his back, but he never cared, Sarada was safe. That's all that matter as a snarl formed on his lips to attack again.

It appeared that again Sakura was the protective mother she had been a decade again when she came flying in. His heart stopped when he saw her. She was just as beautiful and fierce as he remembered, and now she stood before him.

"Sorry, I meant to tell you," she murmured. He felt confused as he stared at her. It wasn't her fault, it was more than likely his fault like it always was. After all he had been one of the few to make her cry, but he had been the only one to continually make her cry. Her green eyes met his and he regretted leaving her six years earlier.

Then she was gone, his heart stopped in fear as he stared at where she had been. There was a bone chilling fear coursing through him then as he continued to shield his daughter and stare at where her mother had been. Then he made up his mind, the creature with the Sharingan was definitely one of Orochimaru's creations and he would find out just where and why this creature had attack him, his daughter and his wife. He would not tolerate this.

They found Sakura, and then they told Sarada everything.

He had been greatly offended for his own child to think he'd dare to even…consort with a whacko like Karin. But he understood, he understood as he held his wife and rested his chin on her head as they spoke to Sarada about her birth. There would be no record of it, why would there be? They hadn't even known Sakura was pregnant when she had given birth in the middle of a raging storm in a cave in the middle of nowhere with no medical assistance or witnesses. They hadn't exactly planned to have her, at that Sarada stared at them in shock. Sakura handled all of the talking, mostly because he still couldn't find it in him to speak of his daughter's birth. Not because he wasn't proud of his daughter but the unnerving shock could still paralyze him from the mere memory of her birth and the terror he had been feeling for Sakura that night.

True Shin was not completely gone, his clones had scattered but at the moment he felt it more important to be a father as he returned to his house; which was rubble then; to be a father. Sakura blushed furiously as he looked at the rubble, Sarada giggled and he frowned at his wife to hide his smirk. She blushed even more then dragged him to her parents' home.

That was the first night he had been with Sakura in six years and in between him and the object of his desires was his twelve year old. Sarada had asked to stay with them, he hadn't objected and merely said it was up to Sakura who seemed eager to hold her baby after everything that had happened. So now he stared at his girls and wondered what miracle had given him them.

The next morning he and Sakura walked Sarada to the Acedemy, she was holding his hand and her mother's with a determination he hadn't known a twelve year old could have. She smiled slightly and he assumed she was happy as she ran to meet up with her friend. The moment his daughter let him go he grabbed Sakura who stiffened then relaxed in his arms. He watched in satisfaction as Sarada punched the dobe's blonde son who cried out.

"I think Sarada has a crush," Sakura chuckled, he scowled.

"No," he said automatically. But as he watched the dobe's son his eyes narrowed. He was going to have to have a talk which struck the fear of Kami into the boy because he would not tolerate the dobe's son taking a liking to his daughter.

Sakura laughed, he glared at his wife who just continued laughing as they walked to their lot of rubble then. He'd have to rebuild their house and as he glanced at his wife he decided it wouldn't be so bad.

The year was hell!

It appeared Sarada and Boruto excelled at two things, arguing with one another and getting into trouble together. He was beginning to get seriously annoyed with the boy's habit of walking in happily and shouting he was here; honestly the dobe's son was worse than the dobe himself. Sasuke did not like this at all, Sakura though just brushed off his worries about the boy and helped take care of him.

Things with his daughter got a lot better, quickly as he began teaching her the secrets of her clan. They still did not have the most talkative relationship but he left that to her and her mother. Sakura seemed to be able to speak multiple languages to his envy. She spoke Sasuke Uchiha and she spoke Sarada Uchiha and according to her those were two very different languages. He was not amused with this. However he was proud of his daughter and how quick she learned, he'd expect nothing less from Sakura's daughter though when he remembered how smart she had been during their Team 7 days.

Time continued, he watched with pride as his daughter bested the creep, Sai's, brat Inojin. He was not surprised, Sarada was after all her mother's daughter and she would not surrender to some Yamanaka. Though he was furious when Boruto hugged his daughter he didn't hide the smirk when he watched his girl shove the boy off of her. He and Sakura congratulated her on besting Inojin, she just shrugged and smiled slightly.

The years continued to pass, he did not like his daughter's relationship with Boruto for so very many reasons but he refrained from saying them when Sakura scolded him for being heartless. Mostly he had nightmares about being related to the dobe. That and there was no one good enough for his daughter; period. He did not care if he was still labeled a traitor or a menace or a threat he did not veiw anyone worthy of his precious daughter.

Sakura told him that was ridiculous but he ignored her because he knew full well he still was not worthy of her. He watched as Sarada grew, he watched as she gradutated from rank to rank and worked her way to ANBU. She was talented, he'd admit that. She was unusually good at fighting, but he assumed she had taken after Sakura in deciphering patterns. She probably also took after his brother, it was strange but he saw a lot of Itatchi in her and in ways he didn't know how to explain.

He felt nothing but pride though as he watched her grow up and was involved with her life. At least until now as he stood there fidgety. Sakura walked out holding a small bouquet and smiled at him lovingly, he frowned but loved the way she had aged and how beautiful she as she stood before him.

"Come on Sarada!" Sakura called out. His onyx eyes flicked to his daughter who nervously stepped out of the changing room dressed in a beautiful gown she and her mother had picked out for today. His chest tightened as he looked his beautiful daughter from head to toe. She was breath taking.

"I feel rediculous," Sarada muttered.

"Nonsense, you look gorgeous for your own wedding Sarada," Sakura assured their daughter. He grunted when an elbow slammed into his ribs. He nodded then and glared at his wife, Sarada giggled a bit.

"Now I'll be waiting out there for you Sasuke, everything will be fine Sarada," Sakura assured his baby with a kiss on her own seal before she left them alone.

"Papa?"

"Hm?"

"Where you nervous when you married mama?" she asked him softly as she took his arm and clutched her bouquet.

"Yes," he answered truthfully. He had been terrified Sakura wouldn't show or she wouldn't say her vows or she'd realize she wasn't getting the best she deserved and would run. He was really lucky that the woman he loved was dumber than a brick on occasion, if Sakura was smart she'd have run for the hills decades ago. But he didn't dare to tell his daughter that. She was getting married today.

"What if he doesn't love me?" Sarada muttered nervously.

"Then you're always welcomed home; I'll bury the body," he assured her. She smiled then. He kissed her brow and the music started. It was time to go, Sarada took a deep breath and he walked his baby out to her husband-to-be and swore if the idiot didn't treat her right then he'd make the poor bastard disappear. Sarada did not deserve someone as bad as he, just look at all the pain he had put Sakura through.

Still he reluctantly handed his only daughter over to her future husband and sat with his wife who smiled happily as she held his real hand. He tightened his hold on her then.

"We did pretty good Sasuke," Sakura whispered as they watched the ceremony.

"How can you tell?" he asked.

"Because she's just like her father," Sakura smiled. He frowned, Sarada was nothing like him. She was just like her mother; and thank Kami for that.

On a personal note I do not think Karin is Sarada's biological mother, I stand with Sakura being her mom and if you have a problem with that then too damn bad! Karin's BATSHIT CRAZY! Besides, I personally like Sakura with Sasuke way better than Karin with Sasuke. So I stand by Sarada being Sakura's daughter, besides any spawn of Karin's would be crazier than a Looney Tune, and probably locked up in an asylum...

Just saying.

It has been one long day, a lot of writing was done though most of it was trashed. I wrote this though, didn't think it was half bad. Gave it to my dad as a Father's Day gift, he didn't think it was all that bad either.

Happy Father's Day everyone, and to all of those dads out there we appreciate you.

There'll be another Father's Day special from me called My Father out soon, sometime this weekend, it's an Inuyasha fanfic if you're wondering.

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Uchiha!
