Chapter 1
To everyone else, this day was just a regular day in Konaha. Ninjas were being sent on missions after missions, while the town folks were busy keeping their business running as the days could get a little chaotic. It was a nice spring day. All the flowers were in bloom and cherry blossom were scattered everywhere. Spring time was a very pretty time in the Leaf Village.
As of today, it happened to be a little windy but that wouldn't mess up anyone's day. Though, it was a regular day to those who didn't know, it was in important day for those in the Uzumaki household. Today was their anniversary.
It hadn't seem like two years already. Not too long ago, the two had just shared their first kiss together and now they were married for two years, with many more to come. Where has the time gone?
Naruto was the first to wake in the house on this glorious day. He knew how important today. He had special plans for his wife. So he needed to finish a few of his errands before this evening. He got out of bed quietly and got dressed in his casual orange jacket and grey sweatpants. After he had finished getting dress, he went and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil. He wanted to write a note for Hinata, so that when she woke up she would know that he was out.
Once it was done he walked back over to the bed, placing it on his pillow. He caught the sight of his beautiful wife as she rolled over, facing him. Naruto couldn't help but smile. She was laying on her back. Her head was turned towards him and her arms were above her head. She furrowed a little bit from moving, but her face relaxed once again into it peaceful state.
'She so beautiful.' Naruto thought as he was smiling to himself. He moved his hands and brush some of her hair from her face. Caressed her face, he went over her cheeks and stopping at her lips. They were nice and plump, as though she was already teasing him and the day had just started. He hoped that she liked tonight. He had planned this out for a while now. It was his turn to show Hinata how special she really was to him. He hoped this made her happy.
He would love to sit there and stare at her all day, but he needed to go. He leaned over, pushing her bangs from her forehead and placed a kiss on her head. "See ya later, Hina." He whispered to her. Naruto had moved himself off the bed slowly as though not to disturb her sleeping form. He walked over to the door and gave his sleeping wife one last smiled before opening the door. He closed it quietly behind him and left to start his errands for the day.
After leaving the house, Naruto was walking down the streets of Konaha. He was thinking about all the stops he had to make before tonight. His hands were behind his head and his eyes were closed as he was lost in thought. 'I need to stop by Ino's shop, grabbed the food, set up everything…'
His thoughts were stopped by the growling of his stomach. He opened his eyes, chuckling to himself. "I guess I should eat something before doing anything else." Ramen would be the cure to his hungry stomach. He changed the direction that he was going, running towards the place with the best ramen. Ichiriku.
Finally arriving at one of his favorite place, Naruto moved the tiny curtain over as he walked in. "Hey old man, Ayami!" The owner and his daughter both looked up from what they were doing to look over at the young blonde, who had enter their establishment. "Oi, Naruto! It's been a while, how have you been?" Naruto went over and took a sit at the stand. "I've been good, how are you guys?" The owner smiled over at his daughter and then looked back at Naruto. "Busy as usual. Speaking of usual, you want yours usual right?" Naruto placed his charming smiled on his face and nodded. The owner laughed at the blond. "Coming right up for our best customer!"
Ten minutes later, Naruto was already on his third bowl of ramen when Shikamaru and Kiba had walked in. "Hey Naruto!" Kiba said as he slapped the eating man on his back. Naruto, who hadn't noticed them walk in, had almost choked on his ramen. He put the bowl down, coughing as he was trying to clear his throat. His friends sat done and order their food, while Naruto was still trying to dislodge the ramen stuck in his throat.
Shikamaru had sat next to Naruto, waiting for the man to finish before saying anything. It took a while, but the ramen that was stuck in his throat had went down. He looked over and frowned at Kiba. "Were you trying to kill me?" Kiba laughed at the man, shaking his head. "No, I was just greeting you, man." Naruto stared at Kiba. "So you guys were just going to sit there and watch me choke?" Shikamaru sighed as he reached over to grab some chopsticks. "I didn't even do anything, it was all Kiba." Kiba stopped laughing to stared at Shikamaru. "Hey, but you're alright, aren't you? Naruto just sighed to himself and continued eating his ramen.
"So it rare to see you eating Ichiriku so early in the morning." Shikamaru had said as he was stirring his warm ramen, before grabbing some noodles. "I have errands to run today." Kiba looked over. "You're right, normally Hinata doesn't want you eating ramen for breakfast." Naruto drunk the broth of his ramen, before placing the bowl down. He rubbed his stomach. He was full and satisfied with his meal.
"I had to leave early this morning, so I didn't have time to eat. Plus, my errands are going to take a while." Kiba with a mouth full of noodles asked. "What..er…rands?" Naruto smiled over his friends. "Today's Hinata and I's anniversary. So I'm getting things ready for tonight." Shikamaru slurred his noodles. "I see…sounds like you have something planned." Naruto nodded. "Oh yea! I do remember her saying something about that last week. So…what do you have planned?" Kiba asked. Naruto leaned his arms against the counter and began telling his friends his thought out plan.
Hinata was starting to stir awake. She rolled over to her side and stretched her arms out. Groaning at the feel of releasing the tension in her body. Slightly opening her eyes, she could see that her husband wasn't lying next to her. He was gone. She moved her arms, pushing herself up until she was sitting up. It was odd that Naruto wasn't in bed. She normally would be up before him, but today he didn't seem to be around. "…Naruto?" She called out his name, but there was no answer. She moved over to his side and saw a note laying on his pillow. She picked it up and read it.
"Good morning, beautiful!
I have somethings to do in town today, but I'll be seeing you later. Rest easy and enjoy the day. Before this evening, make sure that you're dressed in something pretty. I'll come home and pick you up then."
I love you,
Naruto
Hinata smiled at the little drawing of himself at the bottom of the note. By what the note said, Naruto seemed to have something planned for tonight. Hinata ran her hands through her hair and smiled to herself.
Not too long ago, Naruto had confessed his love for her. It was something she always dream of. But when it finally happened, the moment seem so unreal. The boy she had love ever since she was a little girl, had return her feelings. Although it took a while, she didn't mind one bit. Because now that they were together, they had a lot of time to make up. She couldn't believe that today, was the day two years ago, that he became her husband. She became his wife.
Naruto was an amazing man. Beside from being a very strong ninja, he had a side that no one really got to see. He was sweet, gentle and passionate. Everyone knew he was caring, but no one knew that his heart was filled with so much love in it.
For someone who grew up alone, it seemed all he wanted was for someone to love him. He had been hurt many time in his life, and nothing could ever cure his pain, but his heart had never changed. After they became a couple, she could feel how warm his heart truly was. She loved that she got to see the specials side of him that the world had denied because of something he couldn't control. It made her fall even more in love with him. All he ever showed her was his love for her and she was more than happy to accept it.
Hinata got up off the bed and placed Naruto's note on the nightstand. She went to the bathroom, freshening up before going downstairs to make herself some food. As she was walking into the kitchen, she noticed that Naruto hadn't eaten breakfast yet. 'I bet he went and ate ramen.' She shook her head, smiling because she could let it slide today.
Hinata went and grabbed the kettle from the stove, filled it with water before placing it on the heated stove top. As her water was heating up, she went to go open the windows in the living. Letting some of the fresh spring air blow through the house. Hinata pushed some of her hair behind her ear, she smiled to herself. She watched the cherry blossom moving swiftly in the wind. "It's pretty outside."
The kettle had started to whistle, signaling to Hinata that the water for her tea was ready. Moving away from the window, she walked into the kitchen to prepare her tea. She then grabbed a piece of bread along with her tea before heading over to go sit on the couch. Watching the cherry blossoms would be a nice way to enjoy the quiet morning. It was very peaceful. Hinata had a feeling that today was going to be a really good day.
She couldn't wait to see Naruto later. There has something that she has been waiting to tell him for a while now and today of all days seemed like a good day to do it. Lately, she hasn't been feeling too well. Her body wasn't keeping down any food and she would feel nauseous around certain things. If she was in the sun a little too long, she would start to make her feel exhausted.
Naruto had noticed only a little while ago. Hinata just told him that maybe she was just a little sick. He suggested that she go visit Sakura at the hospital, just to make sure that it was a simple cold. At the time, Naruto had been on a mission when Hinata had went to the hospital.
Flashback:
Hinata was sitting in a room as Sakura was running some test on her. She was sure it was just a little cold. Nothing more. Sakura had come back inside the room, taking a seat right across from Hinata. "Well, Hinata. I want to reassure you that you are perfectly healthy." Hinata nodded, she was a little shocked. She hasn't been feeling good. "If I'm healthy, then why am I feeling so sick lately?" Sakura smiled and grabbed Hinata's hand. "I have some news for you." Hinata nodded. She was nervous. "Is it bad?" Sakura sighed to herself. "It depends on how you take it." Hinata nodded slightly. "…Okay, I'm ready." Sakura stared into her eyes and smiled at her longtime friend.
"Hinata, you're pregnant." She eyes intently widen. "Pregnant?" Sakura nodded at her. "The symptoms you have been feeling…nauseous, exhausted, and sick. Those are all the things you get in your first trimester." Hinata couldn't believe it. She was pregnant. She was going to a mom and Naruto…he was going to be a dad. Their little family was growing.
'Is this real?' Hinata could feel the tears in her eyes. She was about to cry. Sakura smiled at her friend. "Congratulations!" Sakura moved from her seat and went over and hugged Hinata. "You and Naruto will be great parents. I'm also beyond proud of you guys." Hinata tried to wipe her eyes, smiling at her friend. "Thank you…Sakura."
"Well...let me tell you the rest, so when you tell Naruto, you'll have all the information." Hinata nodded. "You're four months pregnant, so that means that you have just entered your 2nd trimester. The way you have been feeling should subside in a few weeks. Give or take how your body reacts. So make sure you eat light meals until you're able to keep food down."
Hinata nodded as she was taking in all the information. "Do you know what we're having?" Sakura nodded. She whispered it into her ear. Hinata could feel the tears building up again. She couldn't wait to tell Naruto.
End of Flashback
Hinata had finished her breakfast. She was leaning back on the couch with her eyes closed. This was going to be a big surprised for Naruto as it was for her. She knew more than anything that Naruto had always wanted a family, and although they were together. She knew that the big their family was, the more she would be able to see Naruto's smiling face. She rubbed her hands over her belly. A little pug had suddenly popped out last week. Although it wasn't much, it was nice to see the change in her body. It had taken a while, but she finally came up with a surprising way to tell him and she couldn't wait to see his face.
Although she didn't have too much to do today, she couldn't just possible sit on the couch all day. She got up from where she was and walked over to the door that led to the backyard. She opened it and walked out onto the semi moist grass until she got to the flower beds in the far back.
At the beginning of spring, she had planted a few flowers. They were now fully bloomed and were honestly very beautiful. All of them were such a variety of colors and different flowers. Ever since they had become a couple, Hinata learned that Naruto loved to plant flowers. So when spring rolled around they would plant them together, and when fall would start to come in, Hinata would press them and keep them in a journal. So they could look at them later.
She smiled to herself as she gracefully touched the soft petals of the flowers. The mid-day breeze was blowing through her hair. It was a very nice morning. Hinata was starting to wonder what she was going to wear tonight. She didn't want to get too dressed up, but she did want to look nice.
Standing up she turned, walking back towards the house. Once she was back inside, she took her dishes from this morning and placed them in the sink. She went upstairs and tided up their room a little bit. Making the bed and folding up some of Naruto's clothes that were laying on the floor. As she was cleaning, she decide that maybe she could find something in her closet that would be good for tonight's occasion. She didn't know what Naruto had planned so she would try to look her best. She walked over to the closet and looked over the clothes that were there. Nothing was catching her eyes.
Until a dark blue outfit could be seen from the corner of the closet. She reached over and smiled at it. It was a nice sleeveless blouse with striped lines going across it. The collar was a little flared out. The skirt for the outfit was a plain black skirt, which happen to stop before her ankles. It was simple, but still nice. She wasn't much for dressing up. But maybe she would do something to her hair to make her look a little nicer. She grabbed the outfit, placing it on the bed.
She looked over at the clock. It was only barely hitting on 1:00pm. What was she going to do between now and when she was ready to get dressed? Maybe a bath? Hinata nodded to herself. A bath seemed like a good way to pass some time.
Hinata walked over to the bathroom and prepared her bath. She undressed herself and waited for the water to full the tub. She look down at the pug of her stomach as it was more visible, now that she wasn't really wear anything. She rubbed her hands over it and laugh to herself. "It's still so unreal." A life that she and Naruto had created was slowing growing in her. The water to her bath had finally filled. She turned it off and stepped in the hot water. Instantly, she could feel herself relaxing, closing her eyes, spent a few hours of the day enjoying her bath.
