Tenten stood in front of the mirror examining herself in the new bridesmaid's dress. It was quite impossible to hide the pregnancy now, due to the fact she was around seven months along now. The lavender dress was just below her knees, the length of the bottom half was pleated in a Marilyn Monroe style with a halter top and a silver sash around her rib cage above her large and protruding baby belly. Her hair hung down in long loose curls with a silver flower neatly tucked behind her ear.
Life had been a lot different since the pregnancy, Neji, henged as Juro had become even more overprotective, showing a great deal of hatred toward his rival Sasuke. That is until he began to fall for a certain blonde Konoichi with her feminine wiles. Guy and Lee had responded to the news quite well, despite the fact that Guy tried to strangle Sasuke before Lee urged him that this was the ultimate reflection of the power of youth. From then on the two were adamant about accepting the baby with open arms. And the bride an groom seemed to be the most excited. Although it was just a cousin, they were insistent on welcoming this new child as a nephew or a niece.
"Hey you ready, Tenten? We gotta help Hinata into her dress!" Ino squeed, breaking Tenten from her thoughts.
Tenten turned to face her blonde friend. The girl looked like a bombshell in her dress. She was certain to sweep Juro off his feet. "I'm ready." She smiled softly. "You look amazing."
Ino blushed a bit and twirled in her dress. "You think Juro will like it?" Ino asked smiling brightly.
"He'll love it!" Tenten gushed. 'Neji better be careful not to get too far in with this whole thing.' She thought to herself.
The two girls rushed off to the changing area where Hinata would be located. This was the same building Neji's funeral was held, so Tenten knew many emotions would be running rampant. She only wished he could reveal himself to the rest of Konoha to spare them from the pain they were probably experiencing today.
They entered the room and both let out a gasp. Hinata was sitting on a small stoolin the middle of the room in nothing but her bra and underwear And had her face in her hands. She appeared to be hyperventilating.
"Hinata?!" Tenten said rushing, rather waddling quickly to her companion and doing her best to kneel down. She grunted a bit and made it to her knees before her friend. "What's wrong?" She asked concerned.
Ino did the same and sat before Hinata gently placing a hand on her bare knee.
"I'm...I'm scared..." She managed to get out. "What...what if he changes his mind?" Hinata said looking up from her hands. Her eyes were swollen and red and her face seemed pale and flushed. She looked terrified, almost as terrified as Naruto on the night he proposed.
"Hinata, Naruto is crazy about you!" Ino chimed.
"She's right, Hinata. There is nothing you need to be worried about. This is one of the most important days of your life. Don't let fear get in the way of that." Tenten assured.
Hinata blinked a few times and gave a nod accompanied with a small smile. "You're...you're both right. This..this is my dream come true." She said, building up her confidence.
"You two are so perfect for each other!" Ino gushed. "You'll make such cute babies!"
Tenen looked over at Ino a bit concerned about her statement. She remembered months ago Hinata had asked her about sex. She was quite worried about it.
Hinata stood and blushed a dark shade of red. "Yeah! And we're gonna make one tonight!" She yelled with her fist in the air.
Tenten and Ino were smiling and shaking tier heads in shock but proud of their friend for finding her courage.
"Okay, now help your pregnant friend up please.." Tenten said looking up at her Companions. Hinata giggled and she and Ino pulled Tenten to her feet.
"Thanks. Now let's get you dressed!" Tenten said happily.

Narutp Uzumaki took his place at the front of the temple, his hands were tightly clenched together and you could see just how nervous he was by the expression painted on his normally cheery face. He straightened his white jacket a bit before returning his hands to their nervous position. Quickly his focus was taken as the doors in the back of the temple swung open and soft piano music began to play.
Juro and Ino began making their way down the aisle, arm in arm. Ino seemed to be beaming, and Juro didn't seem to mind the closeness. They took their time with each step, being careful to smile at the crowd and at each other. They reached the front of the temple and went their separate ways, Ino on her own until Tenten would join Her, and Juro on the opposite side near Naruto.
Shortly after, Tenten and Sasuke emerged, they too, walked arm in arm. Tenten felt all eyes staring at her and her large belly. It made her extremely uncomfortable and her eyes fell down. Sasuke gave her arm a little squeeze and she looked up once more, putting on a smile. This was Hinata's day and se wouldn't ruin it with her bad attitude and embarrassment.
"You look hot." Sasuke whispered subtly to her. Tenten blushed brightly and couldn't help but smile. He seemed to know how to handle her emotions rather well. The two reached the front and Sasuke placed a soft kiss on her cheek before releasing her to her side. The two took their places and awaited the stunning bride.
All went quiet as the music changed and a small Hyuga girl rushed down the aisle hurling flower petals everywhere. Shortly after, Hinata emerged through the doors with her father at her right hand side. Everyone in the temple stood and turned to face her. They were all breathless as they looked upon the girl. She beamed brighter than any star in the night sky. Hiashi was serious as ever but you could tell the man had been crying. His eyes were a bit red and swollen and he seemed to walk at a painfully slow pace as he ushered his daughter down the aisle. It was truly a beautiful sight.
Naruto's ocean eyes widened at the magnificent creature that approached him. She was gorgeous, breath taking, stunning and she was growing closer. He felt his knees go weak and was about to fall forward. Sasuke subtly grabbed the jacket of Narutos suit and pushed a small amount of Chakra into Naruto's back. It was just enough to keep the poor blonde conscious. Naruto was quite grateful for Sasuke's deed, normally Sasuke would probably have let Naruto fall on his face, and he was thankful that he still stood firmly on the ground thanks to Sasuke.
Finally, she reached the front of the temple, standing before the man she would soon call her husband. The two looked upon each other in awe, the love for each other radiating throughout the entire Hyuga complex.
