"Okaa-san, where do babies come from?" Akaya asked, unblinkingly.
"Eh, why do you ask Akaya-chan?" Sakura said, looking over at Sasuke, who merely quirked at brow. He shook his head, giving her the responsibility to explain to their four year old daughter about babies.
The pink hair child frowned. "Ino-ojou-chan said that babies come from mommies. Shika-ojii-chan said that they come from the sky. And Hinata-ojou-chan said that they're from storks. But Naruto-ojii-chan said that they're from cabbages. Does that mean I ate my little brother?" she said, tears forming in her onyx eyes.
"Oh, sweetheart, you didn't eat your little brother." Sakura said comfortingly, smoothing down the pastel hair that matched her own. "Don't listen to silly Naruto-ojii-chan. But Ino-ojou-chan's right, babies do come from mommies. See?" the mother brought her little girl's hand toward her swelled belly.
Akaya rubbed her mother's stomach and nodded, sniffing. "Okay…"
There was a momentary pause.
"How are babies made?" she said, blinking with large wide innocent eyes.
Sakura looked at her little princess with her mouth gaping. She closed it and turned her head sharply toward her frozen husband. A grin slowly spread on her face. Petting Akaya, she told her, "Sweety, why don't you ask Otou-sama that? Okaa-san has to go and make some lunch."
Eagerly, Akaya jumped to her father, tugging at his shirt. "Nee, Otou-sama, how are babies made? Huh? Does it have to do with the stork? Or the cabbage patch?"
Sasuke lifted his daughter up and looked nervously from the love of his life to his most precious treasure. His wife chuckled. "I did all the work, so now it's your turn, Sasuke-kun."
