I do not own pic!
You entered the house with Itachi, he closed the doors and turned on the lights as well as the heaters, it was a cold night. You walked to the kitchen and it was only now that you noticed the bags of groceries on the table in the middle of the kitchen, you chuckled at yourself, you were so worried earlier that you didn't notice them, Itachi followed you to the kitchen and helped you with the dinner, both being skilled at cooking, it didn't take you much time to prepare it, and shortly after, you two were sitting at the table on the floor eating and chatting about random things.
After a calm and nice dinner, you two enjoyed eating your pomegranates, enjoying the warmth coming from the fireplace in the reception room, you were sitting beside him facing the fire flames eating your sweet fruits.
"[Name], we also have a peach tree and an almond one, but they are also still a bit young", Itachi said as you two finished eating and just sat in front of the fireplace enjoying the warmth and each others company.
"There are many other things in the yard, that's something so nice", you said smiling as you leaned against his shoulder, holding his hand.
"Yeah, there are other ornamental  plants, and there are also snails...", Itachi said gently caressing your hand and playing with the ring on your finger, as you giggled at the mention of the snails.
"Itachi?"
"Yes [name]"
"Itachi...today lady Noriko...she gave me my wedding kimono", you said excitedly, looking up at him with bright eyes, seeing the surprised look on his face, as his features then softened as he smiled at you, it seems the old lady is already preparing for it too.
"That's amazing...I can't wait to seen you wearing it my love", he said, kissing your head as you smiled, feeling his hand slightly squeezed yours, "I guess I should also start preparing my outfit as well", he muttered, passing his hand through your hair.
"Itachi...what's about the wedding date?", you asked after a while, of course you need to set a date, since there is not much work needed to be done and the wedding will be held secretly, so why taking so long? yet the older Uchiha brother seemed to have other things on the way making him delaying it evey time.
"I guess it will takes us a little while more sweetheart, after all, I'm still in the Akatsuki, and I can barely have time to come and see you, I will try to find an opportunity so we can at least spend a little more time together before I have to leave again after it", he said hearing you sigh, he knows you'd be disappointed to hear this, but things are a bit complicated, and he doesn't want it to happen in a rush, he wants it to happen on a good time when he is completely dedicated to you.
"Okay, we are not in a hurry...", you said in a low voice, not asking more questions, as if you have been expecting something like this, well it doesn't also seem nice of you to be so pushy, you know more than anyone else what is he passing through...
"Hey...come over here...", Itachi muttered feeling the disappointment in your voice, wrapping an arm around your waist pulling you closer, you gasped and blushed from the sudden gesture but you didn't mind, as you leaned more to him.
"I know you're disappointed at this, and I'm sorry about it...", he whispered, resting his chin on your head as you two watched the fire in front of you, you sighed without saying anything as you just kept holding his hand.
 "It's okay, we will wait until it's the right time...", you said with a smile after a short while, though he knew you were still saddened a bit.
"Okay...let's leave this for later, you didn't tell me [name], what kind of bedroom should we have? A standard one or a traditional one with a large futon?", he asked as he took a lateral strand of your hair in his hands and started to braid it as you smiled, you loved it when he talks about the preparations.
"A standard one, but we can still have futons here in the reception room to sleep on every now and then when we want to", you said as he hummed in response continuing to braid your hair.
"And which room should we take as our bedroom?", he asked you once more, you haven't even choose one yet.
"The large upper room would be fine، it have a beautiful view over the the garden from up there", you said after a while of thinking, though this will be a bit hard on you during pregnancy but you can always sleep downstairs if you needed to.
"Good, you can take the room here downstairs in the back to work and prepare your medicines, it is wide and looks over the garden too", he said as he nodded at what you said previously, making you smile, agreeing to him.
"Alright, we will go later choose the rest of the furniture we need", you said as he finished braiding that strand of hair, he turned you around to face him and smiled, "of course", he muttered as he kissed your forehead.
As much as you wanted to stay there more, you had to leave, lady Noriko might worry about you and well, you have just came back today so she must be missing you so much.
After making sure the house is well closed and secured, and the seals are well placed so no one can get in, you left with Itachi heading to the lady's house, and of course, Itachi was meant to sneak in as usual.

The lady was still awake waiting for you, you talked with her for a while and told her about the new plants you found in your garden, as well as the other things you have planned for your marriage.
You entered your room, you let out a soft giggle as you felt his presence already there, you turned around to face him, and as soon as you did you have been pulled into a sweet hug.
"I love you [name]"
"I love you too, Itachi"
"How much?", he asked with a smirk, pulling back and looking at you, of course he likes to be complimented.
"I can't really tell...it's so much!", you said with a cute blush as you played with his ponytail that was down on his shoulder.
"Hm...is that so? Okay then", he said, apparently liking that answer as you giggled and took his hand and started preparing your places to sleep in.
Far away in a distant village, the younger Uchiha brother was laying in his place after he finished polishing his sword, holding a photo and staring at it with his dark eyes.
She doesn't look like someone who would belong to the Akatsuki...she seems naive, but, being with his brother tells him something else, who's she anyway? 
'She is beautiful no doubt about it...'
"Maybe I will not kill her...", he murmured to no one in particular, burning the photo and turning it into ashes, then turning off the lights getting some rest.
