Baby sitting



Help!



‘Ok. So this goes under here, while goes over there, then these fold out and stick there’ sasuke uchiha repeated to himself in his head as he followed the procedure Yuhi had showed him of ‘how to change a nappy’. Not as easy as it sounds. The uchiha heir leaned back from the baby kicking its legs about in the air from its position on the floor as he studied his work. He sighed. ‘It will have to do’ he thought, comparing it to what the older women had done before in his mind.



The young boy gave one last look at his handy work before scooping up both the baby and the now full old nappy that was radiating a stench he had never know could come from a human being.



Racing to the bin to get rid of the foul smelling thing, he quickly dumped it with the rest of the unwanted trash before placing the baby on the counter next to the sink, cleaning his hands incase the substance had got on them.



As he grabbed a near by towel, he saw something out of the corner of his eye.



His heart beat quickened. His eyes widened. Everything seemed to be slowing down just so he could watch. But his instincts kicked in.



The young ninja spun around as fast as he could and caught the infant just before he hit the ground. ‘Of course he wouldn’t just sit there’ sasuke said to himself as the baby giggled at his little ‘game’. Sasuke didn’t find it very funny at all. But he did find some mixed emotion in was watching how this child still laughed and had fun even though he didn’t have any parents anymore. Just like him. ‘this child has it lucky, he lost his parents before he got to know them’.



When he saw the child yawn, he all but jumped for joy. Almost smiling sasuke looked around for the warm milk he had made earlier. The female jonin had said that it would get the toddler asleep in no time. He hoped she was right as the dark haired boy was feeling quite sleepy himself. His body imitated his thoughts as he let a yawn slip.



Finding the milk, he walked to his room and a thought struck him.



Where would the baby sleep?



Sasuke looked at his double bed, then at the lack of other furniture around his bedroom. ‘Would he hurt him self if he happened to roll off?. Yuhi said baby’s are fragile’ he said in his mind as he looked at the 2 foot drop from the top of the bed to the floor.



The now cranky child gave a cry of inpatients at his hesitation to find it a comfortable place to sleep. Sasuke, not wanting to baby to start crying again, just thought ‘Sack it, I’ll find a better place for him tomorrow’ and maneuvered him self to sit against the headboards of his bed with the child in his lap, now suckling his warm milk from the bottle. Not bothering to change or get under the covers until he was sure he could do so without disturbing the sleepy child.



He watched the child’s eyes slowly drift shut in content and wondered how many nights would he do this? How long will this child be here? Will he be sad when it leaves to go to the orphanage? Or will he become too attached to it? Sasuke knew he was too young to adopt the child from another 3 or more years yet, plus it would interrupt his training and life in general if he did. It had only been a couple of days but he was starting to enjoy this new challenge. He wanted to learn more. As many skills as he could.



His brother had basically raised him from when his mother had shoved his baby self at itachi. Apparently his parents were arguing over who should be taking care of him and who had more responsibility over him. But the argument had escalated, and soon it was about who loved him more since neither wanted to sacrifice their social life for longer than they needed to, to take care of an 8 month old child. At that my five, nearly six year old brother had walked into the room and said that he had time for sasuke after school and wanted to spend time with his new little brother even though he himself had quite a busy training schedule. His parents had quickly agreed.



From then on his parents social life became busy again his brother would always take care of him. That’s when he had started sleeping in his brother’s bed, since his mother didn’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and he still had times when he would unconsciously roll around in his sleep.



He frowned slighty at the memory of a day at school when they had learnt about the history of kings and queens from other countries. About how the rich people weren’t involved in raising their children and had nannies do it for them, the parents were only involved in big decisions.



Little sasuke had quietly announced how similar it seemed to his family but quickly became sad when his class mates expressed how absurd it sounded and how it would never be like that now.



Sasuke pulled himself out of his memories, refusing to see any fault in his now dead parents perfect image as he looked down to see the small baby clinging to his navy coloured t-shirt, fast asleep in his arms with – sasuke noticed with a tiny smile – the tip of the bottle still in his mouth, as if that alone was a source of comfort.



The young boy carefully lifted to infant to lay it next to him as sasuke moved so he was lying down, his head on the soft feather stuffed pillows, halting his movements every time the child shifted, being extremely aware of the fact that if it wakes up the screaming will start and the peace will end.



Fortunately luck seems to be on his side as he gentle laid the child at his side, a protective arm around its waist as sasuke followed him into the peaceful place called sleep.



Mere minutes into slumber though, his form began to shiver from a cold breeze blowing from the open window in his room. Not wanting to move and risk awakening the now calm and restful baby he curled himself around the small form next to him and hoped that his body heat would raise once he fell into a deep sleep.



But someone wasn’t planning to let him wait long as sasuke felt the bed dip slightly and something warm and heavy draped over him seconds before his mind fell into unconsciousness and his body was pulled into a comforting embrace. His last thought as he unconsciously nuzzled his face into the warmth of this form protecting him from the cold, where he felt safe, was…..



‘When did I open a window?’
