Chapter two Hyuugas
A gentle rain pattered against outside windows while a small wind blow threw Konoha swaying the stems of the Sakura trees, and on the inside Tenten and Neji rested on their soft bed in the Hyuuga's main household and all was quiet until cry fill the halls waking both parents. "Neji it's your turn," wined a tired TenTen turning over to the other side of the bad pulling the covers over her head.
"No it's your turn I got Kaji a bottle at midnight," groaned Neji copying his wife's movements on his side.
"Well I got Meisu a bottle at twelve thirty," replied an annoyed Tenten sighing, but she fell silent as another cry filled the halls.
"Now Kaji's crying looks like we'll both have to go," said Tenten getting up of their bed.
"hn"
Tenten went down the hall into her daughter's small room and walked over to little Meisu's crib , TenTen then lifted Meisu into her arms ,and cooed her daughter," SHH, don't cry mommy's here." Meisu crying got softer, but continued crying clinging to her mother's chest closely. TenTen wrapped a blanket around her daughter and rocked her gentley in her arms quietly humming. A few minutes later Meisu's cries silenced and Tenten gently put her down in the small crib.
As Tenten was calming Meisu Neji made his way to his youngest son's room it was still a bit small room, but it was noticeably bigger then, his twin sister's room. Neji then, lifted Kaji out of his crib," Please stop crying, Kaji I'm tired." Kaji cry quickly faded to a sniffle.
Kaji looked up at his father with wide, white eyes and gabbed his father's hair and gave it a good tug he even managed to pull a few hairs out. "Ow, Kaji stop that," said an annoyed Neji wincing as he swiftly gabbed his son's wrist causing Kaji to start crying again. Neji held Kaji close to his shoulder. "SHH, don't cry, shh." Neji started humming a soothing sounds until Kaji let out a small yawn and fell asleep on his father's shoulder. Neji gently put Kaji back in his crib and went back to bed with TenTen.
TenTen curled up next to Neji and Neji grabbed TenTen's waist and pulled her closer and they both drifted back to sleep in each other's arms. Their sleep was interrupted two hours later as Neji felt a tiny hand pushing on his back.
Neji rolled over and looked down to see his eldest, but still very young son Hizashi with tear filled eyes. "Hizashi, what's wrong?"
"I…I…had a bad dweam," cried Hizashi in a weak voice. Neji got out of bed and lifted up his son and wiped away his tears holding him closely and walked him back in his bed in Hizashi's own room. Neji slowly started to walk away from his son who was slightly calmer, but still afraid. "Daddy I scawed".
Neji turned around ,knelt down to his son's bed, and ran his finger's threw his son's black brownish hair cooing ," There's nothing to be afraid of here, just go back to sleep, Zashi."
"But it's weally dark." Neji sighed and sat down," How about i stay here till you go to sleep?"
"Okay, hank you Daddy," said Hizashi childishly moving to the edge of the bed next to were his father's head now lied.
Neji waited for a hour and saw his son finally drifted off and made his way back to bed quietly.
The next morning Neji went down stairs quietly and snuck up on his wife grabbing her waist.
"Neji," said TenTen playfully elbowing him while she made pancakes.
Hizashi started his way down stairs and greeted his parents after he released a small yawn. "Morning Mommy." "Good morning Daddy."
"Good morning my son," said Neji calmly as he went over and lifted his son on his shoulders. Hizashi hung tightly on to his father's neck smiling. "Daddy why dose Mommy go on less misshins than you?"
"Because she is better at taking care of Kaji, Meisu, and you."
"Oh…"
"Why is mommy better at taking care of us?" asked Hizashi.
"Because woman have natural instincts on how to take care of babies and children," replied Neji bluntly.
"Where do babies come from?"
"I'll tell you when you're older," replied Neji quickly.
"Why can't I know now," asked Hizashi innocently turning his head so his father could see his face.
"Because there are some things children can't understand till they're older."
"Kay…"
"…And why dose-
"You sure are full of questions today why don't you save some for later," suggested Tenten smiling she loved her children so much she only wished she spent more time with them and she was waiting for the right moment to tell Neji that she was three months pregnant.
"Okay Okaa-san."
Neji took Hizashi off his shoulders and put him in the chair next to him as TenTen gave a small plate of pancakes to Neji , a smaller one Hizashi, and then got some pancakes for herself.
TenTen took a minute to stop and clean a little syrup of Hizashi's chin.
"Hank you Mommy," said Hizashi sweetly.(I just love sweet little kids : )
TenTen giggled slightly at her son's inability to say thank.
After breakfast TenTen told Neji that she was going to take Meisu and Kaji for check-ups at the
hospital and he needed to watch Hizashi, but she didn't tell him she had to get a scan also to check on the baby.
"Bye Bye Mommy," said Hizashi waving sweetly in his father's strong, muscular, alomost as good as Gaara's arms.(GO GAARA AND NEJI, but Gaara's better)0 .0
Hizashi went to his toy box and got out a smaller box of blocks he started searching for them he though a couple behind him and found it enjoyable so he started laughing as he threw blocks behind him. A few minutes later Neji walked in he was greeted bye a block hitting his head, so Neji walked over to his son and lifted him bye his arms. "Are you having fun," asked Neji with a smirk.
"Yes, yes I am," replied Hizashi smiling.(Sorry people I was watching sponge bod)
"You like helping don't you?"
"Yes!"
"Then help ,Daddy, clean up this mess you made," smirked Neji.
Hizashi looked around the room smiling nervously and said," I guesses I got cawwied away."
"Yeah, now help me," said Neji placing his son on his feet.
"Kay, Daddy," said Hizashi smiling.
After that Neji read part of "Skills Requiered for Missions."
"Wha we do now," asked Hizashi.
"I don't know,"said Neji as he turned his head and smirked. Then quickly turned around and tickled his son.
"Stop it that tickles!!" squealed Hizashi.
"DADDY HAHAHA!"
Neji lifted his son up and swung him around.
"HAHAHA!" laughed Hizashi then, let out a small yawn.
"Hizashi, it's time for you to take a nap," said Neji putting his son back on his feet.
"Bu, Daddy," yawned Hizashi.
"No, buts ,"said Neji sternly.
Befour his father could pick him up Hizashi ran out of the room, but Neji caught him in a matter of minutes and put Hizashi on his hip. Hizashi didn't like to be held in that fashion and started kicking and squirming.
"Le me go now!" demanded Hizashi.
"Don't take that tone with me young man," scolded Neji.
"I can if I wan to!" said Hizashi as he bit his fathers hand.
"OW!" yelled Neji and released his son.
"HIZASHI HYUGA!"
Hizashi ran as fast as he could away from his father ,but wasn't quick enough and Neji grabbed his arm and pulled him over his knee.
"You do SWAT not yell at me SWAT and you SWAT don't bite SWAT anyone," scolded Neji sternly giving 5 more swats and put is son in time-out and Hizashi cried during all of the 5 minutes. After the five minutes past, Neji knelt down and grabbed his son arms and pulled him close.
"Do you know why you were punished?"
"C-Cause…I yelled…at you," sobbed Hizashi.
"And?"
"And…bit…you," cried Hizashi.
"If you ever do that again you'll be in big trouble, understand."
"Yes…sir…'m…sowwy," cried Hizashi apologetically with tears streaming down his cheeks. Neji soften up and wiped away his sons tears, picked him up, and cuddled him until he fell asleep in his arms.
-one hour later-
"Neji, I'm home," called Tenten entering the household laying her children down for a nap.
"Hey, how'd it go?" asked Neji wrapping his arms around her waist from the back.
"They said Kaji was very healthy, but Meisu isn't getting enough to eat," said Tenten.
"Okay, anything else?"
"Well, I've been waiting a while to tell you, but I'm pregnant with another boy," said Tenten smiling.
"It's not nice to hide things from me, Tenten," said Neji smirking and then, kissed his wife's neck.
"Neji, stop that tickles!" laughed Tenten trying to push her husband's face away.
"HaHa, alright," laughed Neji releasing his wife.
"Did you have any problems with Hizashi?" asked Tenten.
"Not, that much…"
"Neji…," said Tenten warningly.
"Well, he did bite me, bu-
"He bit you!?"
"Calm down, Tenten-
"Why, did he bite you?"
"He just didn't want to take his nap-
"He bit you over that?!" asked Tenten angrily.
"He's a little kid; kids can be over dramatic," said Neji getting angry himself.
"Did you even push hi-
"Of corse I did; I took him over the knee and gave hi-
"I thought we agree we would use corporal punishment on our kids!"
"I'm going out for a drink!"
"Fine, go see if I care!" shouted Tenten as her husband slammed the door waking Meisu and Hizashi. Hizashi being a good brother's only natural response was to check on his little siblings, but he saw his mother instead angry.
"Mommy, wha's going on?" asked Hizashi tugging on his mother's pants.
"…"
"Mommy-
"Hizashi I'm busy right now go to your room…"
"Bu-
"Now, Hizashi!"
"Yes mama," said Hizashi running out of the room a little shaken as to why his mother was angry; she was hardly ever angry, or at least around him.
"Why, did Kaa-san yell like that? She only yells at daddy when she's really angry? What's going on?" thought Hizashi.
"Mommy," cried Meisu.
"Mommy!"
"Shh, calm down Meisu I'm here, baby," cooed Tenten with a blank face.
"…"
"…You daddy, ightin…Wanna be lone?"
"You're too smart for your own good Meisu-chan…"
"Wanna be lone?" asked Meisu innocently.
"No, Meisu-chan being with you will cheer me up."
"Jus bein nice."
"Meisu, you are already smarted than your father."
"Meisu, is so amazing she's not even two years old and already she can engage in conversation. It's hard to believe she's human sometimes. Why doesn't Neji think highly of her?," thought Tenten.

"What, am I going to do…"
(flashback 1 year ago)
"Neji, my daughters have insisted on you being the head of household for the Hyuuga clan," said Hiashi making Neji's eyes go to the size of plates.
"I tried to convince the rest of the main household to pick the latter, but the only way for you to become the heir is for your second son to receive the cadged bird mark," said Haishi.
"But, Kaji…"
"He has such a bright future, I can tell, but Meisu she is so different, why not her."
"Neji, don't be like me and play favorites, I still regret doing that to Hinata…"
"Alright, but still why Kaji-
"Just bring him when he's one and a half to the sealing room at 6 o'clock or Hinabi will be heir against her will."
"…Hai."
(end flashback)
"Today I have to chose Kaji or Meisu…"
"…"
-1 hour later-
"I'm sorry Meisu, but I just don't think you have a bright future…Please forgive me my daughter I can only pray no one will know the truth."
--
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Meisu, I'm so sorry," whispered Neji standing outside the door with tears streaming form his face.
"DDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"I'm so sorry, baby…I'm sorry," cried Neji softly clenching his heart.
"…"
"It's over Neji here's your kid," said a main Hyuuga handing Meisu to Neji.
"…Yes, thank you…"
