When Sakura and Hiashi brought Hisao home, Sakura was prepared for late nights, and very little sleep. In the end she figured it wouldn't be much different from working at the hospital. How wrong she was. By the end of the first day at home, Sakura realized she knew nothing about babies and somehow Hiashi, who had TWO children, knew even less. His excuse, "I had just become head of the clan, their mother and the nannies did all the work, while I was told to focus on clan business." She had made it very clear that that would not be happening this time around.

So they had set forth learning the ways of being a parent; and she had thought training under Tsunade had been tough. They had to learn what his different cries meant, how to swaddle him, what toys he did and didn't care for, the best ways to change a diaper, and that he preferred his milk natural and not in a bottle. Yes there were many things for the new parents to learn. Eventually they got they got the hang of it, getting into a certain groove those first few months. Hiashi would do his paper work in the mornings while Sakura fed Hisao and bathed him. Then Hiashi would burp him while Sakura showered and ate. Hiashi would then go to his meetings while Sakura and Hisao spent the day together, often times in the garden. Then Hiashi would come back to the room and they would just sit and watch their son. Some days they would get visitors or they would go out on little trips.

Everything was fine until Sakura said "I want to go back to work." Hiashi stared at his wife for a moment waiting for clarification "Not full time or anything, just one or two days a week, so I don't loose my touch."

"So you can shock some of the elders into an early grave."

She sighed before lying Hisao down in his crib "That's only a small part of it, I just need to be out of the house for more than an hour or two at a time. I was thinking about maybe Mondays and Wednesdays, eight to five. You could watch him and when you have meetings Kiko can step in."

Hiashi smiled at her nervousness. They had never talked about what she would do once she gave birth, though he knew she would work again. There was no keeping Sakura down and out; of their son's life or from doing what she loved. Smiling he stood and kissed Sakura "Hisao and I could use some father son time, we wouldn't want him turning into a mama's boy now would we?"

Sakura laughed and kissed him before say the three words he loved to hear from her "I love you."

He held her close and kissed her again, stopping only when Hisao began to cry. Breaking the kiss Sakura pecked his lips before picking up their son, cradling him; and he watched as she pressed her lips to their son's forehead and said "I love you to Hisao."
