I heard her scream again. I hate it when this happens, I never know what to do.
"Gaara?" Temari whispered to get my attention. I know what she is going to ask it is the same every time.
"Go to her." This is new. Normally it is why I just stand here as my wife is in pain. It is not a physical pain but a mental pain. Her nightmares hunt her still even after I got her away from her father the nightmares still come.
"She loves you and trust you. Maybe if you just go and hold her the nightmares will subside. That is what I use to do for you and Kankuro when we were younger." As my sister says this I flash back to a time that hunted me a child.
My uncle one of the people I trusted the most tried to kill me after that I changed. At night I would cry and during the day I would stay silent locked in my room never doing anything. Until one night Temari came into my room while I was crying and just held me.
"Thank you Temari" I said as a got up to go to my wife but before leaving I gave my sister a hug.
"Hinata? Love are you ok?" I asked as I walked into our room slowly.
"O Gaara, I am sorry it was just a nightmare."
"Hinata, these are not just nightmares and I am worried about your health. This has happened every night since you moved out here. Was I wrong to ask you to marry me and move you away from you family."
"NO! These nightmares are because of my family. I am sorry that the nightmares will not go away. But I just need you, Gaara I love you and want to be with you. So please don't make me go back."
"I love you Hinata and I want you to be happy here with me, but how can you be happy when your still hunted by your passed."
"Gaara, you have no idea. I am happy. I really truly am. The nightmares only affect me at night."
"Then where do we go from here."
"How about we start with you staying with me at night?"
"That sounds good to me."
Hinata and Gaara laid down in their bed together. Gaara wrapped his arms around his wife and held her close as she drifted off to sleep. That night the nightmares stayed away.
Hinata woke up feeling fresh, like she could take on the world. She tried to get up to go make breakfast for her family like she normally would but found she could not move. When she looked over she saw why, Gaara had his arm wrapped around her holding her tightly to him. She then remembered the conversation that they had the night before and she knew that after last night things would start to get better.
