Watching him sleep Sakura smiled gently, she honestly didn't want to wake him up, he looked so peaceful with the dogs next to him, suddenly hearing Rose's cries Sakura quickly went over to her daughter,
"Aww it's okay sweetie" she whispered. Cradling her baby girl gently, she then looked back only to see Kakashi sitting up, staring at her. Stifling a giggle Sakura walked over to him and sat on his lap. Letting him see his baby girl "relax love, she just wanted attention" Kakashi nodded
"What time is it?"
"6:30" she answered gently,
"You let me sleep for an extra hour" he stated plainly making her smile
"Well I'm sorry, love you've been through almost an 24 hour surgery. I'm not gonna let you push yourself too much" she whispered, Kakashi sighed
"Geez, you girls" he whispered. Sakura smiled
"You wanna go get ready?" She asked, Kakashi looked at her
"Yeah, I will once you get off me" smiling at him softly she got off of him and sat down next to Monty who was still asleep.
"Come on, is Hinata still here?" He asked, Sakura nodded
"She's in the kitchen reading right now, do you want me to give rose to her?"
"If you don't mind.." Sakura smiled and nodded. Kakashi then left, going to his and sakura's room silently. Watching him quietly she sighed, she could see he was still in pain. Of course he would be.. But still, she hated seeing him in pain. Especially when it's because of her.. Handing rose to Hinata who gratefully took hold of the baby girl.
"Thank you for this Hinata, it's means a lot" the hyuuga nodded
"No problem Sakura" she answered, going back to her book. Sakura then moved to her room. Finding The door close. Knocking on it gently
"You can come in Saku, it's your room too" he answered, smiling she entered the room to see him taking his shirt off. Blushing slightly she observed his tattered skin, the wrapped bandages over his skin, the scars and bruises from the fight..
"How can you recover so quickly..?" She whispered making him look back, giving her a slight smile he turned to her.
"if gotten used to being stabbed and cut before saku, maybe not this bad but it's bearable" he answered softly, Sakura smiled, he put on a dark blue button up shirt. Stepping towards him she did up the Buttons for him and grabbed his tie,  "geez...you don't need to do it for me" she smiled at him
"I don't want you straining yourself, you could of lost your left arm. I'm not letting you injure yourself anymore then you have" she stated, fixing his tie. Throwing on a black jacket he shook his head.
"I know you care about me saku, but I can take care of myself" looking down at the floor she sighed gently, not wanting him to see anything,
"Besides" he began, running his fingers through his hair. "I've lived with this type of stuff irritating me for practically all my life. It's nothing new" he whispered, moving a hand into jeans pocket. Taking hold of the small box. Taking a deep breathe he let it out to relax himself, looking back at her he froze. "S-Sakura, d-dont" he whispered, his voice cracking as he lifted her head, her emerald eyes locked onto his smoke grey eyes.. Tears feel from her eyes.. Her body shaking.. Seeing those scars.. The cuts.. It only reminded her of the stupid decision she made.. Giving her a soft look he brought her close, "Sakura.... I never truly cared about my wellbeing until I met you.. Until I fully understood what it was like to fall in love with someone...." He then sighed, "please.. Don't blame yourself for what happened.. It wasn't your fault.. It never was and it never will be your fault" he whispered..
"B-but-" cutting her off he kissed her, backing her up against the closed door he kissed her passionately. His arms wrapped around her bringing her as close as she could come too him, without a seconds thought she kissed back, her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling back slightly he rested his forehead against hers
"I love you, no matter what we go through saku, I'm not afraid to die for my family. I'm not afraid to break the law to protect you both" he whispered. "Now, why don't you get dressed and we get going?" Sakura hugged him tighter
"Don't ever let me go.." She whispered making him smile
"Trust me after tonight, I'll never let you go" he whispered. She looked at him curiously,
"What do you mean by that?"
"You'll have to wait and see" he said, going over to the door, "fine something nice to wear, please?" Sakura smirked
"Should I wear the same outfit I did that night when we conceived rose" she watched his cheeks redden as he shook his head, smiling at her
"Just wear whatever you want, you'll look gorgeous in anything" he stated, leaving the room. Leaving her to get dressed.

Walking into the lounge he looked to Hinata, she had fallen asleep on the chair, boom in hand and Rose in her arms. Sighing he picked up rose gently and laid the baby girl gently on the couch. Before going back to Hinata, he then picked the woman up and carried her too the couch, waking her up.
"Hmmm.. What?" Chuckling lightly
"Relax Hinata, it's just me" the hyuuga then looked up, her face going red slightly, he looked so handsome..
"O-oh.." Setting her down on the couch he kissed his baby girl's head lightly before leaving Hinata to rest, looking up he saw Sakura leaning against the doorway,
"Your so sweet.." She whispered, he watched her, eyeing her up and down, she was wearing a simple long red dress, a black cardigan and black heels. Her hair down and her emerald eyes sparkling.. Smiling at her softly he took a hold of her hand
"Come on, let's get going before it gets too late" he whispered, Sakura smiled.
"Alright, take care, hinata" she said to the girl. Who had already fallen asleep.
"She's a great friend" he commented. Sakura smiled
"She is.."

Staring up at the slowly setting sun Sakura smiled brightly, he had hold of her hand, guiding her through the town. It was away from the big city, closer to the beach. Finding their spot. The one with the waterfall and lake, the place they had gone many times over the past few months. They had yet to bring rose there to play too, glancing too Kakashi she narrowed her eyes at him as he began to take off his shoes. Smirking at her he walked into the water, the disappearing sunlight made the water sparkle. Sakura soon joined him, walking through the warm water he helped her climb the rock face.  Sitting beside her, their legs dangling over the edge, they looked over the tree line, over to the beach that was only a few metres ahead of them, the sunset right in front of them.. It was the perfect setting,
"It's beautiful" Sakura whispered, leaning into him, wrapping his arm around her,
"It is..." He agreed quietly, bringing her closer
"Should we bring Rose here when she's a little older?" She asked, making him smile
"Yeah.. We should" he muttered quietly. Feeling the nervousness catch up to him, he let go of her and stood stood her up with him. Looking at him curiously... He took a deep breathe,
"Sakura..." He began... Smiling at her, she was beautiful.. The sunlight illuminating her features.. "I know that.. I haven't been the best at showing my emotions at times.. I know that i take violence as a route to get my points across.. And I know that i.. Could hurt you.. Very easily..." He then looked into her eyes, she was smiling at him, her emerald eyes bright and sparkling.. "I love you more then anything.. You've helped me get through so much pain...accepted me for who I am.. You never once judged me based one what others said or what they think.. You accepted me no matter how messed up I am, no matter how many flaws I have.. You decided to have a kid with me.. And I don't think I'll be able to live without you by side.. So.. Before something does happen, before something does decide to take you away from me.." Giving her bright smile he got down onto one knee and pulled out the small box, "would you.. Sakura.. Be my wife..?" He then opened it, revealing a ring with Rose Quartz embedded into it. Looking into her teary emerald eyes...
"Kakashi..." She whimpered.... "Why wouldn't I say yes.." She whispered, shocked. Breaking down he stared at her, tears brimming his eyes.
"Damnit Sakura!" He exclaimed, hugging her tightly. "I love you so much" he whispered to her, slipping the ring onto her finger..
"Love..." Hugging him back, bringing him closer to her "why wouldn't I want to be your wife, we have a daughter to raise don't we? And I wouldn't just leave you for nothing! Of course! Of course I'll marry you!" She exclaimed kissing him passionately, she brought him as close as she could, nothing could express just how happy they were.. Just to be in each others arms..
"Love..?" She asked, making him smile
"Hm?"
"I know this is a big favour but.." He just smiled
"Saku.. I'll do anything to make you happy" he whispered to her.
"Can we wait... For the wedding I mean..." He just smiled at her "can we wait until Rose is a little older? So she can at least have some memory of the day?" Kissing her lips lightly he nodded
"If it means I get more of you in the next few years" blushing brightly she pushed him back slightly,
"Shut up!" She whined, giggling at him, making him laugh.
"Of course gorgeous, we'll wait, I'll wait for as long as it takes" Sakura smiled brightly.
"I love you so much.." She whispered hugging him tightly. Kakashi looked at her, wrapping his arms around her once more..
"I love you too Saku.. More then anything"
