Airport Sakura's POV~

"Now Naruto, remember, no drinking and to get this over with as soon as possible alright? You'll have our sweet Hinata-chan loyally awaiting your return" I ordered, holding my sister-in-law cheek to cheek with me as her face got warmer and warmer. His face transformed into that warm, bright smile I admired from him. It was like him signing a promise with just his signature grin accompanied by his "Believe it" that you'd think he'd grow out of, showing his inner child tendencies still going strong. "I really hope you grow out of that Naruto, pretty soon you'll be a father and I'm sure Hinata needs a partner to lean on, not another child" I chastised while grinning at him, patting Hinata's growing belly, carrying the hopes of the next generation. "I'll be staying at your house with her while your gone, just be sure to call when you arrive and each and every single night Naruto, you hear?!" I demanded, then quickly added "Don't force me to go to New York myself to drag your sorry ass back, alright?" my masacristic smirk planted on my face, promising future pain. He of course like the obedient little Otouto he is, freaked out and kept nodding his head as if his head would fall of any moment. Hinata giggled at our exchange and soothingly repressed us saying "It's hard sometimes to believe your twins by the way you interact". "Why is that?" I questioned, quite interested in her response. "The way you interact sometimes, it seems like drill sargent and fresh new cadet" she explained. "Well of course Hinata-imoto! Boys like Naruto need to be put in their place, otherwise they'll be all over the place. Impossible to get ahold of or follow orders!". She of course smiled and giggled, telling Naruto to take care of himself and to return to her as soon as possible. The motherly glow shined through making me feel safe and loved.

'All Fights headed to San Francisco, California will be departing soon'

"Well, that's me" Naruto told us, his smile turned sorrowful as he looked at us. We all hugged and of course Naruto, being Naruto stole a kiss from Hinata before she knew what was happening, making her flush and Naruto running towards his gate. "REMEMBER TO CALL US BAKA!" I yelled, catching more than just Naruto's attention. He just waved back at us. Hinata and I stayed until we saw his flight takeoff. It'd only be two weeks he'd be gone, reliving some of our old memories before his children would be born, twins, just like us. If anything, I was just glad that they'd never be alone. They'd have eachother to rely on, just like we did when our parents died.

Hinata and I left to go to her house. I had a long day tomorrow, working on a new case at ANBU and driving Hinata to the Hyuuga estate while I was away. There's no way in hell I would let my nieces or nephews get injured! Not on my watch. If anything I was glad that our family would grow again. I always wanted a large family, but due to our grandparents and parents murder as well as our aunt being barren, it just wasn't possible. I just hope everything goes well. 'That idiot Naruto better not get himself into trouble!' I thought angrily.

'Because, I don't know what I'd do without him...'

One and a Half Weeks Later~

As I got back from my last assignment, Hinata was cooking food with her younger sister, Hanabi, at the Hyuuga estate. I'd been gone for the last 3 days and hadn't heard from Naruto.

No calls. No texts. Nothing...

I was beginning to get worried, but I didn't let it get to me too much. Naruto for one reason or another always had incredibly good luck.

"Hey Hinata! Hanabi. what are you guys cooking? It smells great!" I was lying, it smelled devine! I couldn't wait to eat! And they were making my favorite too! Well deserts at least, syrup-coated anko dumplings and umeboshi. I was glad too, I didn't want Ramen again. I understand that Naruto loves the stuff, but I don't understand why exactly nor the appeal. Ramen? Sure I love the stuff, but every day? I don't think so. I'll leave that to Naruto, and for Hinata's sake I hope her children aren't as obsessed as their father is with the stuff.

Neji should be back later tonight, he stayed to finish a few reports. I suppose I get it easy being his second in command, and him being my captain. I believe the guy should take a break though, or else he might stress himself into an early grave. I hope he'll give me a few days off to go to the states to drag Naruto's ass back like I promised. He hasn't called and from the look on Hinata's face he hasn't for the past few days. I guess I should give him another day, I'll call him later tonight and if he hasn't called by morning first thing I'm gonna do is file for a few personal days. 'I wonder if Sasuke would come with me'. That thought quickly rushed my head, I'm sure it'd annoy the hell out of him, that workaholic. 'He'd probably consider this not worth his time', I begrudgingly thought. As I looked at Hinata as she placed the food on the table I noticed the worry lines ever present on her face. I reached over and took the plates in her hands and placed them on the table. As I placed my hands on both of her shoulders ordering her to sit down and telling of my plan, her face changed and seemed relieved.

"Thank you Sakura-chan" she said, I of course just simply replied "You shouldn't be stressing yourself out so much". I patted her her stomach, "It's not good for the children". Hinata of course being the well mannered girl merely said "Sorry Sakura-chan. I will, don't worry" smiling at me. Hanabi joined us at the table and as we said thanks and began eating, I could only think of Naruto.

'You better be safe, you idiot...'
