The sun shone through the open window casting a flowery shadow as the curtains blocked it's view, the birds chirped happily as they flew across the sky.

A certain little girl slowly fluttered her eyes open for the first time in what felt like a long time, she immediately winced at the bright room and closed her eye as fast as she opened it.

Her throat felt dry and her first thought was to get a glass of water, she brought her hand up to rub her eyes when she noticed her current condition, she squited her eyes. 

The pinknette sweatdropped at the amout of wires attached to her arms and legs and beside her was the heart monitor beeping at an healthy speed. 

'wow-'

She was snapped out by the sound of something crashing. 

looking up she, she saw a nurse staring at her in disbelief, she muttered a quick 'oh my god' before running off.

Sayuri just stared at the open door with an unsure look, she noticed the strawperry slices littered on the ground and sighed sadly, 

'A waste of strawberries..'

Her head began to hurt once again from how bright her surrounding was, but the last week was nothing but a headache (literally) so she kinda got used to it. 

Soon she heard multiple hurried foot step before she could even process half of what was going on, her mother had entered the room. 

Sakura almost slipped and fell when she saw Sayuri casually laying on the hospital bed and squinting her eyes at her surroundings..

The little girl looked directly at her and sqeezed her eyes shut before opening them again, 

she gave a small smile, 

"Hello m-mama!"

OK maybe that was a bad idea, since she began to cough her lungs out like a madman, her throat was on fire. 

Her mother rushed forward and picked the glass of water by her bedside, she helped the little girl into a sitting position and put a pillow for her back, she then held the glass and helped the little girl drink in small gulps and helped wipe her chin as soon as she was finished, 

Sayuri once again smiled, 

"Hello mama!" 

She was brought into an warm embrace, she could feel her mothers shoulder shaking, 

"Gosh Sayuri.. Don't ever scare me like that! I was so  worried!" 

"Heh.. Sorry mama!-"

***

Sasuke entered his home for the first time in a long time, the first thing he noticed were.. 

pictures.

There were so many pictures, most of them had the little pinkntte in it.

Sasuke had missed so many important moments of his children's life but when he walked down the hallway, he saw pictures after pictures of every single moment that he had missed, 

Pictures of a new born Sarada, 

Pictures of new born Sayuri.. 

A picture of a 7 year old Sarada hold the hands of a 12 to 14 months old baby Sayuri, he could see the writing in the corner of he frame, 

'Sayuri's first step with Sarada!'

He smiled and moved on to another picture, 

this one was of the little pinknette, who was being held by Sakura, next to them was Sarada and they all wore a party hat.

'Sayuri's first birthday!'

the next one was of Sarada holding her ninja headband, with an overly excited Sayuri clinging to her shoulder, 

'Sarada got her headband!'

Sakura, Sarada and Sayuri making cookies for the first time

'First time making cookies with the kids!' 

One with Sayuri and little girl whom he assumed was Naruto's daughter, Hikari was it? 

'Sayuri's first playdate with Himawari!' 

'oh..'

Sarada was holding her sister at where he assumed was at the gates of Konoha, he noticed the two other kids, one being Boruto and the other one he had no idea.. her genin team..

'Sarada's first mission!'

Another one of Sayuri and Himawari, cuddling on a couch with a blanket wrapped around the two.. the pciture seemed kinda new 

'The kids being cute!' 

'Sayuri's work from flower arranging class!' 

'Sayuri and Ino's Shopping spree!'

'Uh oh! looks like the girls ruin the kitchen while preparing my mothers day surprise!' 

He chuckled at that, 

And so he stayed at the same hall for another 30 minutes, going through all the pictures, all of their happy memories, He noticed how his youngest tried her best to include him in some pictures. 

for example, 

There was one where Sakura was smiling at the Camera with both of their daughters, the younger one holding a paper which had an poorly drawn stickman with duckbutt hair with an arrow pointing at it saying 'CHI-CHI IS HERE!!!' Sarada looked like she was holding back her laughter.

'Our first night together after a long time!' 

He saw many funny ones of them being goofy, for example, 

There was one with all three of them wearing sunglasses in a room which was lit by some bluish purple light, and their faces were illuminated by what he assumed was the T.V

All of them had a bowl of popcorn and a very serious expression on their faces, as if their dealing with some serious matters but the captions said other another story. 

'Sayuri forced us to watch Dora the explorer.' 

Sasuke's heart felt warm as he laughed in what felt like a very very  long time. 

He walked toward thier living room and notice the different shaped of rock sitting on the teatable, they're living room wall held more pictures and sticks? 

oh!

He'd seen it in a photo which stated that the youngest Uchiha likes to wander around the forest and bring home random things, even his summon snake had commented about feeling uncomfortable around the little girl.. he didn't know why- 

He liked it, he liked her weird-but-totally-cute habits. 

At that moment he truely felt at home, 

something he hadn't felt since he was little.

The last time he felt this way was when he walked through into his childhood home to be greeted by his family. 

He chuckled happily, and when he saw a certain hawk through the window he was all more excited. 

There was a little paper tied to it's leg and it read, 

"She's awake."
