Gaara never really thought he'd have the life that he lived. Even after the 'one tailed beast' had left him, he thought he'd spend the rest of his life working to make his village a better place. He had to until he'd meet a beautiful Hinata Hyuga.
It wasn't love at first sight or even second. Their relationship had started with only feelings of respect and admiration for one another. It stayed that way for a good year until they reached the age where most started to date and had a close call on a mission.
Gaara was the first to start falling for Hinata slowly at fifteen, but didn't admit it to anyone even himself until he was seventeen. Hinata started to fall for Gaara when she was sixteen and it just hit her like a pile of bricks in the face. Everyone noticed the teens feelings WAY before they did and loved to rub it in their faces.
It took twenty seven villagers, thirty ninja's, and three elder persistent bugging for Gaara to finally ask Hinata on a date. It took three medical ninja's to catch the poor thing when she'd fainted, but not before squeaking out a yes.
On November 10 of when they were nineteen they made it official and had a wedding. They'd wanted to make it small, but they'd lost that battle with the elders and the whole village ended up attending.
Gaara couldn't have cared less about who was their when he saw Hinata walking towards him in her beautiful white dress. He'd have to say that the kiss they shared when they were announced husband a wife was one of the sweetest only to be rivaled with the first kiss.
Not six months later the two had one of the happiest and saddest days of their life. Happiest because Hinata gave birth to their beautiful daughter Luca. Saddest because their first son Lucio had not made it into the world. So October ninth was a bitter sweet day for both.
Gaara was of course hurt by the death of his son and that only made it harder for him to find out his Luca was blind. At first he'd thought that would cripple her and make it so she never had a normal life. Soon he was shocked to find Luca would prove to be one of the strongest people he'd ever meet.
Six years later the parents were proud to meet their son Hubris who was born smiling at the world. He'd been happy to claim August second as his birthday. Not three minutes into his life he was dubbed Hub by Luca who announced she'd saved him from some therapy in the future.
It wasn't what Gaara had planned, but he was happy it had happened. He was happy to always come home to his sweet and kind wife and loving children. He also couldn't hide his pride when he saw the pure faith and admiration in his families eyes ready to support him forever.
