Nothing Special

Chapter 85

Word got around quickly that Lee and Aceso had kissed, which ended up in two long weeks of being grounded. She was allowed to work, do a couple of solo doctor missions, and train Sakura. She couldn't do anything taijutsu training, no seeing friends (besides Sakura and Naruto, and no staying out late. Kakashi had grounded Aceso and Gai took up the role and grounded Lee. He wasn't allowed anywhere near the hospital unless he had to be, only training and missions. The last day of being grounded was yesterday, and Aceso was ready to go work on more Taijutsu. She opened the door and stepped out to see Ms. Loring and her baby Zero.

"Doctor Matsuba," Ms. Loring began. "I know this is your first day off in two weeks, but I am in a tight crutch and I need someone to watch over Zero for a couple of hours."

"I can totally watch your precious one," Aceso agreed happily.

"You are a lifesaver," Ms. Lorning melted. She looked at her son. "Now be good, my love. Me and daddy are heading over to the hot springs for a little and we will be back before you know it." She kissed her son's head before handing him to Aceso. "Once again, thanks a bunch." She then took off to have some alone time with her husband, the baby looked up at Aceso. He had bright green eyes and black hair.

"You are with me today, little one," Aceso said in a small voice as she tickled his cheeks. Zero started giggling a little. Aceso had always been good with babies, she delivered a lot, and looked after some sometimes. Aceso then went down and grabbed a baby carrier, so she can walk around the village with the baby strapped to her chest as she did a few things, including chores. After a diaper change, Aceso was up on the roof, trying to help the baby walk. She had his hands on hers and on her feet.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked. She looked back, standing against the doorway was Sakura. Aceso went to go cut her off, but she got cut off. "Never mind, can you train with me today?"

"No, I'm busy," Aceso denied as she looked back at the baby.

"By looking like a complete weirdo?" Sakura asked as she crossed her arms.

"No," Aceso laughed as she picked up Zero. "I'm babysitting." She turned around revealing the baby. Sakura had heart eyes pop up and she came close.

"He's so cute," Sakura cooed.

"I was trying to teach him how to walk," Aceso informed.

"Zero is only a few months old," Sakura recalled.

"Nothing wrong with doing early practice," Aceso said. "Would you like to help babysit?"

"Only for a little bit," Sakura agreed right away. "Let's work on crawling." The two girls put a sheet on the ground and sat on opposite ends. Aceso put Zero on her end, she had him face Sakura.

"Go get Sakura," Aceso said. Zero looked back at her, he made a few sounds. "Sakura." He looked back forward and then back at Aceso.

"Come to me," Sakura said with a small voice as she held out her hands. She waved her fingers around, Zero slowly started to crawl forward. "Yes, that's it!" Once the baby reached her, Sakura picked up Zero and spun him around happily. "Good job!" She put him back on the ground gently. "Now, go back to Aceso." She faced Zero to the doctor. He giggled before starting his crawl.

"Sakura," a voice said. They looked over to see Tsunade hovering over the pink-haired girl. "You were supposed to show up for training, what's happened?"

"That's my fault, Lady Tsunade," Aceso spoke up. "She was helping me with babysitting."

"Babysitting?" Tsunade asked, she looked at the ground and saw the baby staring up at her. "Oh, and who is this?" She knelt down to the ground holding out her hands with a smile.
