After writing Grandpa Hiashi, I wanted to make some sort of sequel to the fic. I hope you enjoy it. The characters belong to Kishimoto, but you guys already knew that. I hope you all enjoy the story.


Lavender Fields

Hinata and Hanabi had made the difficult decision to put their father into a nursing home. Their father had spent a long three months in hospital following a stroke, and the doctors believed that he didn't have long left to live. Naruto offered to pay for nursing costs, but Hinata could tell by Hanabi's red face that she wasn't happy. Hanabi wanted her father to go Valor Lakefront Lodge. Hanabi loved the rural surroundings and the residents appeared to be so happy. There was also a lovely view of the lake which she knew that her father would really enjoy.

The nursing costs for Valor Lakefront Lodge were very expensive, but Hanabi and Hinata both really liked the place. Hanabi wouldn't have minded if her father was put in Konoha Nursing Home. Instead of Valor Lakefront Lodge or Konoha Nursing Home, Naruto had paid for Hiashi to go into Lavender Fields. Lavender Fields was one of the cheapest care homes. Hanabi was sceptical as it was one she had never heard off and she had her heart set for another home.

Deep down, Hinata wanted her father to come back home. Her children, Boruto and Himawari loved Hiashi and he was their only living grandparent. Hiashi was only in his early sixties so she didn't expect this to happen to soon. In fact until her father had a stroke, she had never even considered the concept of growing old. Her grandfather, The Hyuga Elder was still fully mobile and had no visible health problems at all.

Hinata and Hanabi had been through a lot together. Hanabi gained the title of heiress of the clan when she was five after being Hinata in a battle. Hanabi had always wanted to be kind and strong like her elder sister. Despite Hanabi's strong admiration for her sister, Hinata's affection towards Naruto had always been a mystery to her. Not even Naruto becoming The Seventh Hokage made her understand.

"Naruto had to go with the cheap one didn't he?" Hanabi said with her arms folded.

"I'm sure Naruto was trying his best," Hinata said. "It's very kind of him to pay the nursing costs."

"I think he's made a terrible mistake," Hanabi insisted. "I have no idea what this home is like and the staff could be horrible."

"I think we should give it a chance," Hinata told her sister. She understood both points of view and felt unable to make that sort of decision. "If Father isn't happy, we can always change the home."

"We'll see..." Hanabi said.

Hinata wanted to be confident in Naruto's decision about Lavender Fields, but after the conversation with her sister, she wasn't so sure. Her children wanted their grandfather to live with them. Himawari was even willing to give up her playroom so that their grandfather could stay, it really broke Hinata's heart. The Hyuga Clan were relying on Hanabi to make sure Hiashi was put in the best nursing home available.

"Good evening everyone!"

It was Naruto's voice. The kids were put to bed an hour ago. When Naruto returned home came into the lounge, he hugged Hinata from behind and kissed her cheek. Hanabi remained silent. There were so many things Hinata wanted to ask Naruto that she had no idea where to start. She wanted to know how he was getting on at work and how his other friends were doing. Hinata held onto Naruto's hand and all she could think about was her father. "Have we done the right thing?" Hinata asked. "Valor Lakefront Lodge was a beautiful place."

"Of course we have," Naruto replied with great enthusiasm and a big smile that Hinata had loved so much. "Hiashi will be in the best hands. Lavender Fields is the best care home available. And best of all: Sakura works there!"

"Our friend, Sakura?" Hinata asked. Naruto nodded. "Oh my goodness, so wonder she's so busy."

"What about Valor Lakefront Lodge?" Hanabi asked. "I thought that was place was perfect for my father."

"They had no vacancies," Naruto said. "But believe it! Hiashi will be fine."

"Are you sure you haven't put him there because it was the cheapest?" Hanabi asked curiously. She tried her best to maintain her anger, but to no avail.

"I may be The Seventh Hokage, but I'm not made of money," Naruto said with regret. "It's a fantastic place, but it's so expensive! I wouldn't be able to aff-."

"DADDY!"

Naruto was cut short by two young voices. Boruto and Himawari scurried towards their dad.

"Shouldn't you two be in bed?" Naruto asked them.

"Hell no!" Boruto responded. Himawari shook her head at the same time her brother spoke. "I haven't seen you in ages. How's Grandpa Hiashi?"

"He's fine," Naruto replied. "He's gone to his new home today."

"When can we see him?" Himawari asked.

"Maybe at the weekend," Hinata said.

"You two better go back to bed now," Naruto told Himawari. "It's late."

"It's only nine o'clock," Boruto sighed.

"You too, Boruto," Naruto said as he rubbed his son's head.
