Sasuke: *sees Sakura staring at him and the baby* Is everything okay, Sakura?
Sakura: Y-Yeah.. *smiles* Why did you ask?
Sasuke: It seems that you're in deep thought.
Sakura: A bit.. I'm just thinking about.. Things.. But nothing to worry about. *giggles nervously*
Sasuke nods while cradling their second-born in his arm. Although she assured him that it was nothing, he knows that something is bothering her.
At bedtime..
Sakura: *lies down beside Sasuke* Finally, he's asleep.
Sasuke: You must be tired.
Sakura: Not really. *smiles*
Sasuke: Sakura, where did you go this morning?
Sakura: W-Why are you asking?
Sasuke: Ah— The food— The food that you brought home was good. So, I thought I can buy from there in another time.
Sakura: Oh.. Yeah.. It's the restaurant across the supermarket's back entrance.
Sasuke: I see.. Well, then. Good night and rest well. *kisses each other*
---
The next day, Sasuke decides to go and check the place. He thinks that he'd be able to find out what happened yesterday, which made Sakura upset.
Sasuke: *goes to the counter* Hi! My wife went here yesterday. I wonder if something happened because she was upset when she got home.
Cashier: I— I have no idea and I didn't notice! B-But you see those three? *points at the 3 men* Th-Those are our regulars. You can check with them. They might have seen something.
Sasuke goes directly to their table and asks the three men. They're denying seeing Sakura yesterday but Sasuke doesn't believe them. The restaurant is packed, so he decides to not cause a scene. Instead, he waits outside until any of them goes out.
One of the men leaves the restaurant and Sasuke follows him. When they're in a secluded area, he puts him under genjutsu.
Sasuke: Sharingan! *views the man's memory*
|||
Man1: Is that really an Uchiha? *peeks*
Sakura: *overhears the 3 men from the other table*
Man2: Right? He's probably not. Maybe he's a child of adultery. *drinks his tea*
Man3: Or maybe he's Sasuke's karma for all his wrongdoings.
Man1: For sure. A green-eyed Uchiha means it doesn't possess sharingan. Pretty useless.
Man3: Indeed. Imagine being an Uchiha but all you have is the surname. *laughs*
Man2: Fugaku's disdain would be too evident if he's still alive.
Man1: Such a disgrace. That's why if you have kekkei genkai, you shouldn't marry outsiders.
Man2: Well, Sasuke had no choice. Who would he marry? Someone from their clan's grave? *laughs*
Man1: He shouldn't have married at all!! Or at least choose someone with dojutsu.
Man3: I'm sure he'll neglect that baby and will focus on their first-born.
Man2: Their first-born is pretty useless too. Like yes she has sharingan. But she's a girl. A good for nothing—
Sakura: Please stop talking about my family in that manner.
Man3: We're just telling the truth?
Sakura: The truth? Everything that you said was baseless.
Man2: What will you do? Tell on us?
Man1: What will you say to Sasuke? That we're making fun of that half-baked Uchiha?
Sakura: No.. I don't want his hand to get stained with your blood. *gets up as the baby starts crying and leaves*
|||
Sasuke: So you were mocking the Uchiha. You were making fun of my son, which made my wife very upset. *puts him to the side; still under his genjutsu* Stay there until who knows when. *leaves*
---
Sakura: Anata, what took you so long?
Sasuke: Sorry, some work got in the way.. *gets the baby from Sakura* Ahh, my green-eyed baby..
Sakura: Anata.. I'm— I'm sorry..
Sasuke: For what?
Sakura: ...
Sasuke: You don't have control over it, Sakura.
Sakura: Yes.. But.. Our son won't have sharingan..
Sasuke: And?
Sakura: Anata..
Sasuke: Does it matter?
Sakura: He's an Uchiha.
Sasuke: Yes. And not all Uchiha have sharingan. Some had. Some didn't. And that's fine.
Sakura: I'm ruining your bloodline..
Sasuke: Who told you?
Sakura: It's okay, Sasuke-kun..
Sasuke: Remember when you asked me the same thing when you were pregnant with Sarada? What if the baby had green eyes instead?
Sakura: *nods*
Sasuke: And what did I tell you?
Sakura: That it's okay.. And that it's probably better because our child won't suffer.
Sasuke: And you yourself doesn't have kekkei genkai but you're the strongest kunoichi.
Sakura: Yeah..
Sasuke: So what is there to worry about?
Sakura: But the people—
Sasuke: If it doesn't matter to us, then people's opinion shouldn't matter to us as well. Our child is perfect. He'll be strong just like you and me and Sarada. And even if not, we'll be there to protect him.
Sakura: Sasuke-kun! *smiles* Of course.
Sasuke: If the Uchiha is meant to be pink-haired in the future, so be it.
Sakura: *laughs; goes to Sasuke to see their baby*
Sasuke: Thank you, Sakura.. For giving me the most amazing children a father could ask for.
Sakura: They're very lucky to have you as their father, Anata. *smiles*

Sakura dreads family reunions. Aside from the fact that she's not close with any of her relatives, she also hears them say mean things about her. When she was younger, they always made fun of her forehead and clothing. Now that she's an adult, she keeps hearing about her weight.
Aunt1: I can't believe you got so big, Sakura. How do you plan to go back to your old figure? *crosses her arms*
Sakura: I—
Aunt2: She won't. She'll stay big for the rest of her life. Look at her, it's been months after she gave birth but she still has all that body mass.
Aunt1: You're a ninja. Don't you feel heavy? How can you even move?
Sakura: *sees Sasuke getting angry* A-Anata, can you take Sarada outside? I think she needs some sunlight.
Sasuke: *whispers* I'm not leaving you here in a den of lions, Sakura.
Sakura: *chuckles* I'm okay.. Just take her outside.. I'll just finish this then we'll go.. *takes a bite*
Sasuke: *whispers* If anything happens, you know what to do. *leaves*
Cousin1: Aren't you scared that he'd leave you for another girl? You've given him a daughter. He could just ditch you and find a new one.
Sakura: My husband isn't shallow like that.
Cousin2: But he's still a guy. If you're not perfect, he'd start looking.
Cousin1: Right. And he's an Uchiha. It's easy for him to find someone else.
Sakura: He assures me that I'm good, if not perfect. We're good.
Aunt2: And you believe it? Look at your plate. He's probably disgusted with all that.
Sakura: *looks at her plate* What's wrong with it?
Aunt1: Everything! That's too much food!
Sakura: H-He encourages me to eat well because I'm lactating—
Aunt2: Does he encourage you to eat like a pig?
Cousin1: Don't be too dense, Sakura. You're making yourself fat on purpose for some reason.
Sakura: I'm not.. I— I just gave birth. Of course, I'm still big.. I eat a lot to be healthy—
Cousin2: *takes her plate* There. I did you a favor. No more food for today. You're welcome.
Sakura: *realizes the other family members are looking at her*
Sasuke: *enters the house* Sakura?
Sakura: I'm done, Anata. Let's go? *gets up and goes to them to take Sarada*
Sasuke: You sure? I thought you'd eat for another 30 minutes.
Sakura: I devoured it. *smiles*
---
After that incident, Sasuke noticed that Sakura changed. She started eating less. She also tried to work out as soon as Sarada went to sleep. Sasuke knew that her relatives' words affected her even if she said they didn't.
Sasuke: Why are you eating less than usual?
Sakura: I— I don't, Anata.. It's just that I don't feel like eating much.
Sasuke: You don't like the food?
Sakura: Y-Yeah..
Sasuke: What do you want? I'll cook for you.
Sakura: Sasuke-kun..
Sasuke: *checks their freezer* Ah, chicken tatsuta. *takes it and starts frying* It's good with miso soup. I'll also prepare you a bowl.
Sakura: Sure.. Don't put too much okay?
Sasuke: *gives her the plate with rice and chicken and the bowl of soup* Finish that.
Sakura couldn't say no to Sasuke, so she would finish anything that he prepared for her. Sasuke knew this and would always cook lunch and dinner for Sakura.
Sakura also noticed that their weighing scale was always nowhere to be found. And even if she saw it, it was always broken and malfunctioning. She thought it was Sasuke's doing and true enough, she caught him deliberately breaking the mechanism.
Sakura: A-Anata! What are you doing?
Sasuke: *panics* Amaterasu! *burns it* Y-You don't need this, Sakura. It's a waste of space and—
Sakura: Anata..
Sasuke: Sakura.
Sakura: I also say I'll stop drinking milk when I finish the milk carton in the fridge.. And it's still almost full even if I drink daily.. Is it also because of you?
Sasuke: You need milk for your bones, Sakura.
Sakura: Yeah but it makes me f—
Sasuke: It makes you healthy.
Sakura: Don't sugarcoat it.
Sasuke: I don't. You're working as a doctor, you're taking care of Sarada and me, you're taking care of the house— I won't let you not eat.
Sakura: But Sasuke-kun, I need to get back to shape. I'm a shinobi too, remember?
Sasuke: Yes, and we train together when we can, right? Sakura. No need to rush your body.
Sakura: I— I feel more confident when I'm in shape though..
Sasuke: *squishes her love handle*
Sakura: *blushes* Anata!
Sasuke: *in serious tone* All I'm asking is that you eat properly, Sakura. Don't make me worry.
Sakura: But Anata..
Sasuke: If you won't eat, I won't eat too.
Sakura: Hey, you don't have to do that. You're perfectly—
Sasuke: Who said so?
Sakura: Me..
Sasuke: Why would I believe you when you don't believe me that you look great?
Sakura: Anata..
Sasuke: I won't eat dinner. *leaves to check in on Sarada*
Sakura: Sasuke-kun! *grabs his arm* Sorry.. You're right. I sounded illogical. It's true that I was bothered and I wanted to get thinner as soon as I can.. And I know you didn't care about my figure but—
Sasuke: *hugs her* I'll support you in everything you want but neglecting your health is a different story. It's okay to be bothered, Sakura. But, don't do something that will harm yourself.
Sakura: I'm sorry for making you worried, Anata.. Will you continue cooking for me?
Sasuke: Yes. I'll feed you if I need to.
Sakura: *laughs* We'll get fat together?
Sasuke: Yeah. *laughs*
---
Sarada: I'm not sure if my memory serves me right but I remember when was I a kid, you and Papa were quite fluffy. *laughs*
Sakura: We were! *laughs* We cooked for each other and we really ate a lot.
Sarada: So, my brain wasn't making that up after all?
Sakura: Yeah! *laughs* If your Papa didn't leave for a long mission and I wasn't stressed at the hospital, we're probably the same up to now.
Sarada: Ah, I like you fluffy though. You were very squishy.. And soft. *giggles*
Sakura: I used to dislike being thick.. But your Papa made me realize that it's normal and cute. He likes me fluffy too.
Sarada: Okay, that's TMI. I think we're done here. Why did I even bring it up—
Sakura: *laughs*

I saw someone say a while ago that Jason attacking Tim at Titans Tower was just Tim hallucinating bc he was feeling guilty about being Robin even though Jason's not dead. Which is great, amazing, I think the whole Titans Tower thing is Bonkers, but I think it would be so much funnier if Jason tried to Gaslight Tim into believing the Titans Tower incident never happened, not because he's like evil, he's just super embarassed about it. like
Or Tim did actually hallucinate Jason at TT but thinks it was real, so when he tells Jason about it, Jason's so fucking confused, and Tim thinks Jason's Gaslighting him
Tim: Remember that time when you broke into Titans Tower and beat me half to death while wearing a Robin costume from party city
Jason: What? Tim, I know i'm crazy, but I'm not...Insane.
Tim, pulling down his collar: I literally have the scar to prove it
Jason: Bruce told me that was from Clayface pretending to be me, which, might I just say rude. Tim... are you ok? Did you hallucinate me attacking you? like, I know I've done that before, but...
Tim, frowning: I don't think I hallucinating. I was benched for a while after because I had to recover-
Jason: well, you were benched around the time I was dropping hints that I knew who Bruce was outside of Batman, he probably just benched you to keep you safe. You probably were working too many cases with too little sleep and your imagination started to run wild.
Tim: Are you gaslighting me?
Jason: Are you gaslighting me?
