I suck at past and present tenses…(English is not my first language…)
You will see (f) marks on every beginning and end of a flashback…just so readers won't be confused. It would also be written in italics.

Chapter Two
Hinata opened her eyes just in time for her to be engulfed in a bear hug from her still sleepy husband. Squinting as the sun's light hit her squarely on the eyes, she yawned—burying her face on Sasuke's bare chest. "Ohayo…"
"Hn." Sasuke let his fingers ran on Hinata's bare back. He can feel her naked form under the sheets and he likes the warmth of her small body next to him. "Any plans for today?"
"I have to train with my students today…" Hinata murmured, closing her eyes again. "You?"
"Right…you're the new team eight jounin instructor…I have to see Dobe. We need to discuss a lot of things." With a groan, the dark haired Anbu removed his arms around his wife and raised himself up. His head was still a little fuzzy and his eyes felt raw, he knew it was because he did not get enough sleep last night—well, both of them did not get enough sleep.
The memory from last night made the sharingan user grin.
Hinata pulled the covers up to her chest in order to cover her nudity. She saw Sasuke's sheepish grin and she can't help but smile herself. "You're smiling…that's rare."
"Well I had sex with my wife." He replied simply, making her blush a deep rosy tint. When he saw her frown, he gave her a pat on the head. "I have to go now…You know how loud Naruto is when you keep him waiting…I'll use the shower first?"
"Hai…Meet me in the kitchen before you go."
"Hn."
Hinata watched as Sasuke picked up his towel on the floor and wrapped it around his waist. Shaking her head, her thoughts drifted back when Sasuke asked for her hand in marriage in front of her teammates and family. It was one hell of a moment…She honestly doesn't know if it was something to be laughed about or something to be remembered as a near death experience.
His proposal came out of nowhere and she it honestly did not dawned on her until Kiba began to yell something about crazy Uchiha's and when her cousin Neji started performing some sort of gentle fist stance. She even remembered Shino muttering something about killing someone by the use of poisonous bugs.
It was memorable.
Hinata seated herself as she stretched her upper half with another yawn. Grabbing her nightgown on the wooden floor, she put it on herself and hurried out of the room. She has to prepare breakfast…or at least give Sasuke something to eat on his way to see Naruto. They have a few servants helping her with chores and a nanny that watches over Itachi—but she always prefers to be a hands-on wife and mother as long as she was able.
(f) "You got to be kidding me." Kiba growled, baring his sharp canines. "If this is some kind of joke Sasuke…I swear…"
"Byakugan!" Neji yelled then planted his feet firmly on the ground as he began to start a rotation. If Tenten did not stopped him by pulling his hair, Hinata wondered what might happen if he attacked Sasuke—who by the way just remained impassive to the people around him for his midnight dark eyes was only glued on her.
"So what Hinata?" Sasuke asked again. "I am asking you if you want to marry me."
Her heart started to pound. She was twenty-three; Sasuke was twenty-four years old. Her father might say that she's already on a marriageable age but… this Uchiha just caught her unexpectedly. Beside Hinata, Shino started to shift his weight into one foot and then to the other—something that he has never done before. "I have a few poisonous bugs here somewhere…"
"Hinata-sama!" Neji called as he was being dragged by Tenten away. "Don't make a harsh decision! Hinata-sama!" (f)
Sasuke can smell the delicious scent of food as he made his way to the kitchen. Dropping his towel on the basket behind the door, he saw Hinata wrapping a bento box with a white cloth. On the table behind his wife, little Itachi was eating some sort of gruel. When the young boy saw him, he smiled—the very same smile as her mother.
"O-Otou-san…let's eat."
"You continue eating…Otou-san has to go see your uncle Naruto." Sasuke said just as Hinata wheeled around to face him and give him a bento. "What's this?"
"It's breakfast. Eat it with Naruto-kun…he likes my tempura." Hinata answered. "And you have to share…the last time I packed you a bento Naruto said you did not even give him a bite…and I packed for the two of you."
"It's not my fault his wife's cooking is gross."
"Sasu…"
Itachi giggled. "Auntie Sakura doesn't k-know h-how to cook…dattebayo!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed and Hinata sighed. Sometimes, her husband is more hardheaded than their three year-old son. "I got to go." The sharingan user said rather gruffly. Pulling her arm, he gave her a big smack on the lips.
"Yuck." They heard Itachi grumble as he buried his face into his hands.

Naruto's eyes shifted to Sasuke's bento box and to the one that he was holding. The Uchiha was eating silently; savoring the awesome food his wife prepared. It made the Uzumaki swallow his own saliva. Looking down on his packed breakfast, which Sakura hersel cooked, he can't help but grimace.
Compared to Sasuke's restaurant quality food, his food looks like it was made with killer intent. Sakura may be a lot of things…but cooking is really not her forte. "Teme…" He smiled sheepishly. "Is that tempura I smell?"
"Hn."
"C-can I have some?"
"No."
"Eh? Come on Sasuke! I know Hinata-chan won't make bento without making some for me." The future Hokage whined. "I'll report you later…I swear dattebayo!"
Naruto's last catch phrase made a vein popped on the side of Sasuke's forehead. Rubbing his temple, he passed the bento to Naruto with a resigned sigh. "Here. Just shut up and eat."
As the two men were eating breakfast, the door of the Hokage office swung open and Hatake Kakasi entered, hands on his pocket and a wrinkled smile on his covered face. "Yo. Sorry I'm late."
Naruto shook his head. "We know you're always late. That's why we brought breakfast so that we can eat." Stuffing his mouth with more food, the Uzumaki swallowed. "Why did you call us Kakashi-sensei? Teme just arrived from his two month long mission…wasn't he supposed to be resting or having a day off?"
"I know….but something important came up and I need you two." The Hatake seated himself on top of the desk. "I have an S-class mission and it's for you to take if you want it."

I never knew writing a married SasuHina fic was so much fun! This is just a quickie update since I have classes today…oh, and to that one request about writing a flashback about SasuHina's wedding night? Yeah…I might write one…now that a reader mentioned it.
I'll let you know if I want to make this story longer in the next chapter. (Since the followers keeps adding up…)
See you next chap!
