Summary: She wanted to remember him as he was now in case he didn’t return. She wanted to be sure she would remember so she could tell their baby it’s father looked like.
Sakura stared at her beloved, memorizing his features for the last time before they separated. She wanted to remember exactly what Sasuke looked like… in case he didn’t return. The pinkette wanted to be able to tell their child every single detail about his or her father, from his personality to his handsome appearance. Staring into the endless depths of his dark, onyx eyes, she was struck by a sudden sense of vulnerability.
“You’re not wearing anything with your Clan’s kamon on it are you?”
“No, aside from my Sharingan they will not be able to identify me.” Sasuke looked down as a shadow slid over his face, his long bags obscuring his eyes.
Sakura sighed, her hand moving to sweep his bangs away so she could stare into Sasuke’s red eyes. “I suppose that’s all I can ask, you are the last true Uchiha after all.”
Sasuke stayed silent. He knew Sakura didn’t acknowledge Madara as Uchiha nor as his kinsman, despite the fact that the man was one of the founders of Konohagakure as well as one of the ancient leaders of his clan.
“Promise me that you will come back to me… to us. I want your son or daughter to know you, Sasuke-kun.” Looking past, Sakura stared at team Taka and vaguely noticed Karin’s pained expression, despite their friendship it was still hard for the redhead to witness how Sasuke treated her. She shook her head and wondered when the sensor would learn that Sasuke just wasn’t interested in her in that way. Well, at least Suigetsu made full use of the opportunity presented to him to annoy the sensor even more. She pitied Sasuke and Jūgo for having to travel with the two. Her gaze however slid back to her feet, counting on her cloak and the garment’s shadow to hide her facial expression even from the Sharingan. She didn’t want Sasuke to see her cry.
“Even with your team and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan… unlike Naruto, the jinchūriki of the Hachibi has complete control over his Bijū. And I’m afraid that…”
“Don’t be. I promised you didn’t I?” Sasuke placed one hand under her chin forcing Sakura to raise her head so he could look at her. When he saw the unshed tears in her eyes, Sasuke cupped her face with his hands, using his thumbs to wipe the tears away. He leaned down so he could to rest his forehead against Sakura’s.
“I know, I’m just scared.”
“And Sakura,” Sasuke waited till he had pinkette’s full attention before continuing. “It’s a girl.”
Her eyes widened as if she realized what he was talking about. “What?”
“The baby, it’s a girl.”
“A girl born in winter… It’s going to be hard to find a fitting name for her.”
“Setsuka.”
“What?” For the second time Sakura stared at him with a surprised expression on her face.
“Her name will be Setsuka. Uchiha Setsuka.”
“Uchiha Setsuka… Setsuka… snow flower.” Sakura tested the name on her tongue. “I like that name Sasuke-kun. Promise you will come back to me… to us.”
Answering with his trademark grunt, Sasuke moved to join his team. He opened his mouth to give command to leave when he heard Sakura call out to him, her words causing a rare smile to form.
“Ne, Sasuke-kun was that your way of asking me to marry you?”
