Chapter 2 – The Lunch
...
"What did you say?!" I called out loudly over the phone I held to my ear. After waking up few moments ago my cell had rung. I had been happy to see that Hinata was calling me.
I had not seen her or Naruto in almost 7 months. "Our baby boy was born 3 days ago" Hinata repeated. I could almost see her smile.
"That is amazing news, Hinata!" I exclaimed happily. "Hinata had been 3 months pregnant since I last saw her and I never even noticed" I thought scolding myself "I don't know how the goof did it- I mean- I know HOW he did it…I just can't believe that it's reality"
"I thought Daisuke's godmother would like to come and meet him" Hinata said and I felt pride for being chosen as their little boy's godmother.
"Oh Hinata, thank you, I feel so joyous to know that you have that much trust in me" I replied grinning all the while.
The timid Hinata giggled. "I was going to meet Naruto today at the UPD for lunch. Would you like to meet with us?"
"I would love to, is 13:30 a good time?" I questioned.
"It's just fine. I'll be seeing you later then. Bye-bye, Sakura"
I said my goodbye and stared at my cell as I pulled it from my ear. A slow smile crept up on my face. Naruto and Hinata were having a family already and it made me extremely happy to know that my friends were happy.
I stuffed my phone in my pocket before I left my apartment for work. I couldn't wait to meet the chubby little Naruto look-a-like.
"Kiba is right. If I want to find love it's time I put myself out there" I thought.
...
Hinata smiled happily at her new title as mother. She loved the feeling that surrounded her as she carried her new born infant in his carrying-cot to the UPD to meet up with Naruto and Sakura.
"I never thought I would be the first to have a child" Hinata thought idly "but then again…"
Hinata quickly thought about all her friends. The loud Ino wouldn't consider having a baby even if she had been married since Hinata remembered her claim once that getting pregnant only makes you fat and gives you stretch marks and there was no way in hell that Ino was going to allow that to happen.
Next Hinata thought about Tenten, Neji's soon to be bride. Hinata knew the brunette wanted children someday, but Hinata doubted that Neji would want children any time soon.
Last, but not least was Sakura. Hinata pondered on this one for a moment longer. Sakura didn't have a man in her life yet, but Hinata supposed that if Sakura was married at this stage she wouldn't have had children already. Sakura was, at the moment, more focused on her job and didn't really seem ready for motherhood just yet.
"Looks like it was more likely for me to get pregnant first" Hinata decided.
Hinata knew that Naruto adored children and she wanted a baby herself, but honestly, Daisuke was not exactly planned. Hinata smiled down at her baby boy. She loved him none-the-less and she knew Naruto did too.
…
Hinata smiled down at her lovely new born as she held the little one in her arms. "You have daddy's eyes, you know, and mommy's dark hair. You have the perfect father, he'll be protective of you, send you to your room when you've done something wrong and walk into your room 5 minutes later to make things right again" she giggled as she imagined it.
"He'll protect you until you have the strength to protect yourself and he'll never give up on you"
Hinata turned her gaze to the door as she heard it creak open. She smiled when Naruto walked into the room and even closer to her and his son. "He's perfect" Naruto whispered as he smiled softly at his son's sleepy face.
Placing his hand on Hinata's shoulder he drew her attention from watching her son. Hinata turned to her husband and revelled in the kiss she received from him. He pulled back only to grin at her.
She was truly happy in that one moment and she knew that Naruto was too.
…
...
"Today?" Sasuke asked his father over the phone.
"Yes, you will be joining your mother and I for lunch at 11:00" Fugaku stated gruffly.
"Hn. I'll be there" Sasuke replied reluctantly.
Sasuke gave one heavy sigh as he ended the call with his father. His parents - more like parent - has been nagging him to find a wife and settle down soon, but he hardly felt the need to do this around this stage in his life. He still wanted to live as a free man until he found the right woman to settle down with.
His father wanted nothing than for Sasuke to produce an heir that would one day run the UPD. The reason Fugaku wanted Sasuke to have a son so early in his life was because he was afraid something might happen to Sasuke while on the job and then there won't be an heir to take his place.
Honestly Sasuke thought his father was being a little insensitive about it. It's like he cares more about the business being run by the next heir than if his son dies while on the field.
Sasuke sighed once again trying to think about the predicament of his love-life or lack thereof. His thoughts turned to Hinata Uzumaki, the timid girl that was like the sister he never had. Naruto and Hinata were happy with their current family.
"Maybe starting a family at an early age isn't that bad," Sasuke thought "I just hope that with this lunch, they don't try to throw Karin in my face"
The Uchiha felt miserable. "Why can't they just leave me to make my own decisions?"
...
I felt refreshed as I walked into the hospital. It was a wonderful joy for me to save a life or rather to help give life. I smiled as I watched Ino walking over waving her hand in greeting.
"You're early today" I mentioned as Ino came standing against the nurses desk. I picked up some files that I would need later and turned my attention to her.
"Had an emergency C-section" Ino replied easily.
"Oh, well that's not surprising. Emergency C-sections do happen quite often." I deduced.
I noted that Ino seemed down since yesterday. "How did the shopping go yesterday, I never got the chance to ask you?"
I almost took the words back into my mouth when I saw how Ino's face hung low. "Shikamaru told me he has a new girlfriend"
I frowned sadly and was about to try and cheer her up when she interrupted me. "I'm fine" she tried to smile, but beyond her smile I could see her sadness eating away at her.
"Let us get to work. We have a lot of mommy's to see today" she left me at the nurse's station and took off towards the clinic.
"Ino." I whispered sadly as I watched her retreating back.
As Ino made it around the corner I decided to get to work as well. I started walking to one of my patients rooms. As I walked my thoughts jumbled.
Out of the four of us, Ino and I are the only ones that haven't found love yet. Hinata was happily married to Naruto. Tenten was happily engaged to Hinata's cousin, Neji and Ino and I were unhappily single.
I had to admit that Ino was the lucky one. She was gorgeous and she knew it too. She could really have any man she wanted if she tried hard enough, but love hasn't bloomed in her garden just yet and mine was just as empty.
I entered the room and smiled at my patient and gave her a greeting before checking her chart that hung at the foot end of her hospital bed.
...
Sasuke swiftly checked the time on his wrist-watch as he drove towards his parents' lovely abode. He stopped a few minutes later in front of his parents' house and walked up to the front door with heavy feet. He dreaded this lunch.
Sasuke knocked on the door actually hoping that no one would answer, but alas his beautiful mother opened the door and greeted her youngest son with a tender smile. "It is wonderful to see you, son."
She let him inside and Sasuke greeted his mother with a friendly hug. "It's been too long." Sasuke told his mother. She nodded in agreement.
"Where is dad?" he questioned his mother as he glanced around the house. The living room that was furnished the same as the last time he saw it sat to his right, but he did not see his father.
"He'll probably be down in a minute" Mikoto replied as she moved the two of them towards the living room to take a comfortable seat on the couch. "How is work treating you?"
"I admit that it's a bit tiring at times, but it's running smoothly." Sasuke stated. He noticed his father walking down the stairs it was hard to miss the pounding of his feet against the wooden staircase. Fugaku joined his wife and son in the living room and greeted Sasuke with a manly handshake.
Sasuke started at his father as he sat down again. "I would have been pleased if you walked into the house with a woman by your side." Fugaku voiced.
Sasuke wanted to glare at his father, but could not find the courage to stare down the man who raised him. "I will one day when I have met the right woman." He told his father.
Fugaku sighed. He had known that this conversation was going to be difficult. "I had thought that you and Karin could spend a little more time together." Sasuke's father finally said.
That one sentence was enough to make Sasuke's blood boil. "I already told you that I don't want to make acquaintances with that woman." His forehead crinkled as he frowned at his father.
Mikoto looked between her husband and her son. She already knew that Fugaku was pushing Sasuke into something he didn't want to have yet, but she was unable to stop such a stubborn man as Fugaku Uchiha.
"I am merely asking that you give the girl a chance. She might be totally different that the judgements you've pinned on her." Fugaku told his youngest son.
"I'd rather not spend the rest of my life with that woman and I won't have her carrying my children either," Sasuke stated quite angrily as he stood up from his comfortable seat "I am a grown man and can make my own decisions about my life."
Sasuke took this as his queue to leave the house not bothering to eat anything at his parents' house for lunch.
Mikoto stared at the front door as Sasuke slightly slammed it in his fit of rage towards his father. "He's right, you know" she told Fugaku as she heard him sigh.
He gave his wife a firm nod before he left her to her own devices.
