The months passed by as Hinata's belly expanded. She's told everyone that has speculated that she is indeed having a baby. What everyone truly wants to know is: who is the father of the baby? Hinata has to keep the father's identity secret because if someone were to find out who the father was, she's afraid that she would have to leave the village. Any hope that the father of Hinata's baby will support her vanished when they were on the bridge several months ago.

"Come and touch my belly with your palm. Be gentle." Neji did as he was told. He immediately took a step back.

"Hinata-sama! You are not - - "

"Yes, I am."

-

Neji immediately left the bridge after that. He mumbled under his breath something about wanting to stay as far away from Hinata as possible. Hinata was still within earshot when he said this; she was crushed. Cousin or not, she could not understand why the father of her baby would not want to be there for her. As a result of her pregnancy, Hinata got temporarily assigned to do clerical work for Godaime Hokage and a couple of laboratories. While Neji kept his distance, another guy came into Hinata's life to slowly, but surely, man up.


Hinata had just stepped out of the grocery store. She pledged to eat healthy foods and to not stress her body out so much at the advice of her sensei, who recently had a baby. The bags were heavy, so heavy that she dropped them. Luckily for her (and her unborn baby), the ramen lover came into the picture.

"Let me help you with those..."

"Thank you so much Naruto-kun."

"Your welcome. I saw that you were struggling with the bags, so I felt that I should lend a hand."

"Thank you once again, you are very sweet."

"Are you going to make dinner with this stuff?"

"Yes, why?"

"Well, your belly has gotten really big... You must be stressed, what with your pregnancy and all. I just felt that..." Naruto blushed a bit, "I wanted to make dinner for you. I'm not a very good cook, but I'd be willing to cook for you to take some stress off your hands." It was Hinata's turn to blush now.

"Naruto...-kun. Alright." Naruto was beaming.

"Let me get those bags Hinata; you can massage your belly as we walk towards your home."


Naruto and Hinata arrive at her home.

"Hinata, do not worry about helping out; all I want you to do is relax on your couch. Let Chef Naruto wow you with his amazing cooking skills!" Naruto got her laughing.

"Chef Naruto-kun, what's on the menu tonight?"
"Well, I'm making a special 3-course meal for you. For the appetizer, I'll whip up a ramen salad. The main dish will be ramen scampi drenched in soy sauce. For dessert, you will eat the best ramen pudding in this entire village! Doesn't that sound delicious?"

"OH MY GOD, IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES!"

"So... pizza and tea?"

"Yes please." Naruto gets a pizza from her refrigerator and puts it in the oven. While waiting for the pizza to cook, they spend some time conversing about random things.

"Naruto-kun, I'm so happy that our paths crossed earlier today. This stress-free day is exactly what the Chef ordered."

"I agree, I had just finished training with some Chunnin and was on my way back home when I saw you struggling with your heavy bags. It wouldn't be right if I had let you go off with your bags."

"Thank you Naruto-kun." Hinata looks up towards the ceiling. "I wish all guys were as kind as you are."

"Don't worry, there are plenty of guys out there for you. You'll find a guy that will support you through the thick and thin." Hinata smiled once again.

You fit the bill perfectly.

BING!

"Oh the pizza's ready, lets eat!"

-

They tore through the pizza like it was nothing. Crumbs and crust were the only things remaining on their plates.

"Hey, I didn't overcook the pizza this time, I'm improving!"

"I'm very full Naruto-kun. The pizza was delicious."

"I'm glad you liked it Hinata, your little one is bouncing around in joy probably." Naruto pointed to her belly.

"Yes, he is very satisfied."

"So, your baby is going to be a boy?"

"Y-yes it is." Hinata had a bad feeling resonate through her.

"If you don't mind me asking Hinata, who is the father?" Hinata set her tea down and turned to her side. She got a little bit emotional.

"Y-you have to promise me Naruto-kun that you won't tell ANYONE what I'm about to tell you."

"Hinata, you are crying." Naruto wiped away her tears with his thumb. "If saying the father's name is too much for you, then you don't need to tell me. I don't want to stress or burden you - -"

"No its okay, I want to tell you."

"Okay Hinata, I just don't want you to be stressed, thats all. I care about you too much for you to be feeling bad like this. If its possible, I want to intake all your stress and burdens." Hinata covered her mouth and was shocked by what he said.

You are willing to do that for me?! Oh Naruto-kun, our paths were meant to intertwine earlier today. Why can't HE be supportive like this? Naruto-kun, you are a Godsend.

"Byakugan!"

"Hinata, is it safe for you to use your Byakugan during your pregnancy?"

"Yes, its fine. Do you still want to know who the father is?"

"Only if you want me to know."

"He will be knocking on the door any minute now." Naruto scratched his head as he turned towards the door. It did indeed knock and Hinata got up and opened the door.

"Hello, Hinata-sama."


A/N= This was originally going to be a one shot; however, I thought of some more material I can put in this fic, so there will be at least one more chapter added. I hope you've liked this fic so far. Let me know what your impressions were in your review.
