I'll Always Be With You {On Pause}

Chapter 2

A High Hope
~*~

The next day before the funeral, it was very heartbreaking to see but Naruto was right. Even though Sasuke and Sakura aren't here anymore. The rest are not alone. They have each other no matter what. Their bonds will always be connected to one another. Everyone as friends or family will always share that special bond.

Even though (Name) may be living by themselves along with Sarada. She won't be lonely anymore as it is. Naruto, Hinata, Gaara, Kakashi, Tsunade and many more will come by visiting her as usual on their free time.

She knows it's going to be tough to raise a child on her own but sooner or later she'll get used to it.

For now, all she had to do was go head over to approve of having Sarada as her own daughter.

"There ya go, it's all settled. Your now officially the mother of Sarada Uchiha, Miss (Last Name)." The sweet old lady says.

"Thank you, but you think you can do help me on one condition?"

"Sure thing sweetie."

"Is it possible for me to change my last name? Having it (Name) Uchiha?"

The old woman's brown eyes blinked twice, "Now then (Name), what makes you say that?"

"Since Sarada will be in my life from now on. I'm just...I don't have any idea how to explain the truth of her real parents. She'll get suspicious of why my last name is only (Last Name) but not Uchiha. I just...don't have the right words to tell her-I'm not sure when will it be the time ya know." Her words fiddle off.

"Oh of course I'll gladly help you with that. I deeply understand what you mean sweetie."

Her (color) eyes seems as if they brightened up a bit and earns a soft smile, "Thank you Mrs. Sekki."

(Name) was heading back walking in the crowded city of Kohona by carefully caring Sarada in her arms.

Her (color) eyes look around each store she passes by, hoping to find a cheap baby stroller to have for now since she doesn't have that much money to afford for now.

"Ya know Sarada, I keep forgetting that money can go such a waste on certain things we need," she giggled. "Even having you around is going to be such a hassle but I'll sweat it."

Little Sarada firmly moves her tiny hands around earning a soft yawn. (Name) awed out in cuteness of her little small movements.

"But don't worry, I'll make sure I get a stable job while I'm still in school. I can buy you any clothes or toys if you'd want." (Name) worriedly how tough this is going to be. She knows how hard it's going to be raising a child.

(Name) had to always make sure when she's hungry. Her bed time. Taking her a bath. Keeping her occupied and so on. Oh how stressful it can be while (Name) is in her last year of high school and has to catch up on doing homework and studying to even graduate. Even when she must have that future job of hers; an artist.
