Summer was indeed in full swing now. The heat, the cicadas and dragonflies, and of course the summer crops. Tomatoes, Corn, Okra and other vegetables along with stone fruits, different kinds of berries, but the favorite of this town, watermelons. Sasuke was busy with his older brother Itachi and his Cousin Shisui harvesting some of the crops the Uchiha farm was growing this season: Tomatoes, Okra, Cantaloupe and Honeydew Melons. The summer had been good to them, there was a nice big bounty of fruits and vegetables to harvest.
Sasuke wiped the sweat from his brow with a hat protecting his head from the beating down sun.
“Sasuke! Tell your brother and cousin to come in and take a break! Your wife brought watermelon for everyone!”
His mother Mikoto called from the large farmhouse where the four cats were relaxing under the shade.
He collected the basket full of ripe tomatoes and called Itachi and Shisui over. Once the three men were inside, they were greeted with glasses of water with ice and Sasuke’s six month pregnant wife Tenten, happily chopping one of the three watermelons.
“Ah, you all did a lovely job!” Mikoto mused.
“Heh, this ain’t even all of it, we still got a lot left to pick.” Shisui chuckled.
Itachi nodded in agreement. “We did good this season, they’ll be a lot left over for us too.”
“Guess the good harvest is contagious.” Tenten said as she set the plates of watermelon out for the men. “Shikamaru and Choji had extra watermelon so they said it was a congratulation gift for the baby.” She laughed a bit.
Sasuke gave a playful roll of the eyes and stole a quick kiss to his wife. “I’ll be sure to pay them back. I’m sure they won’t mind some extra corn and okra.”
“Yeah but for now, I think we will enjoy the watermelon.” Tenten teased back before happily helping herself.
Having been married a year and now expecting their first child, Sasuke and Tenten were enjoying the most out of their lives together so far. They met as Tenten’s father owned the tools shop for Konoha and Sasuke would often see her there. Sometimes she would come over to the Uchiha farm with tools and they in turn gave her pleasant company. It was only natural that their relationship would bloom into romance. And ironically enough, their first day was the two of them alone, hanging out by the river at night, eating watermelon and watching the fire flies.
