Sakura's POV:
As much as I love & adore sleep like anyone else this sudden urge to have ice cream & tartar sauce just sounds sooooo good right now. I guess I should've known. My mother would be right once again about the sudden cravings but this one is.....unique. Usually there unique but this one's just really different.
Who on earth would put ice cream & tartar sauce together?! Well I guess that would be me. Well technically the baby but nobody's gonna believe it.
I fight the urge to get the craving & try shutting my eyes once more but the baby keeps moving & the craving gets stronger. I groan at my failed attempt of ignoring the craving before looking at the alarm clock on my bedside table.
'2:00 a.m' It reads.
I huff at how late it is before struggling to tap Sasuke, finally reaching him after trying a million times. However, he hardly feels the tap. Stupid Uchiha's & being a deep sleeper. I swear, if he's like this when I suddenly go into labor he's dead.
Finding a newfound source of strength I finally shake him enough to where he makes the famous "Hn" of the Uchiha's.
"Sasuke," I whisper, nudging his arm once more.
"Hn," He repeats, but this time he's listening & wraps an arm around my waist.
Let just say I've learned to learn the Uchiha language. It seems really confusing at first but once you understand the gist of it all, it's quite easy.
"I really want some ice cream & tartar sauce," I answer, putting a pout on my face even though he can't see it.
"Sakura, it's 2 in the morning," Sasuke says, as if annoyed by my actions.
Now this puts an actual frown on my face. I thought we were passed this whole "annoying" phase but I guess not. It could also be my hormones getting in the way but I can never tell at this point.
"Aww you're right, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so...." I pause for emphasis.
"ANNOYING," I add, feeling his whole body tense.
Before I know it, the bed is empty & cold as Sasuke dashed out to the car for a late night run.
Well now I know that when the baby comes, he'll hopefully be this fast. But if anything he'll be a panicking mess since his job hardly involves this.
Sasuke works in the Konoha Police Force & I work at the hospital. It does suck that we hardly see each other during the day but since I'm on maternity leave, Sasuke has been able to take it off as well just in case she comes early.
Getting lost in my thoughts, I don't realize that Sasuke had returned home with 5 bags of a million different flavors of ice cream & tartar sauce.
A giggle escapes my lips as I sit up, watching him unpack the ice cream on the bed first.
"I didn't know which flavor you wanted so I just bought them all & the tartar in all 3 kinds," Sasuke notes, going through the list of items.
Watching him doing this for me makes me just fall so much for him everyday. A soft smile appears on my face as I give him a quick peck on the cheek before opening a rocky road ice cream. I grab a spoon before digging into the rock solid ice cream.
I hum in satisfaction, before turning to Sasuke. He just watches me with a blank face before I lift a spoon full of rocky road to his mouth. Knowing his has no choice, he takes a bite causing a big smile on my face.
I continue eating my ice cream in happiness while Sasuke eventually falls asleep sitting up next to me, leaning on the plush headboard. Laying my head on his shoulder, I scoop out the last bite of the rocky road before tossing it into a bag. I sit there for a few minutes, listening to his soft snores before attempting to get up.
With a small struggle, I manage to get up & take all the ice cream to the freezer & the tartar to where it goes before settling back into bed. I shift multiple times before finally getting comfortable & sigh in happiness as Sasuke lays down & wraps his arm around my waist, his hand resting protectively on my stomach.
Even though we both have no idea what we're doing, we're just gonna take it one step at a time, together.
