Chapter 3: Visitors
-Hinata POV-
"It is just me Hinata!" I saw Naruto enter the room and I let out a small sigh of relief. I smiled a bit. "I just thought I saw something else before the door opened. Neji came a little bit ago and scared me too. I guess I am just a bit jumpy." I said, surprised I had not really stuttered that time. Naruto nodded a bit in understanding before walking over carrying a cup of tea and a plate with some toast on it. Peanut butter was spread on it. Neji must have told him I probably would want something to eat too. "Neji told me to bring you some tea. He said lavender was your favorite so I brought that and some toast. He also said you might be hungry. Is that alright?" He asked smiling.
"Yes, This is fine... Naruto. Thank you." I smiled softly. It was better then what I had asked for. I was hungry now that I thought about it. My stomach was pretty empty since I hadn't eaten since I woke up. I had not been hungry until now.
He placed the cup in my hand and he set the toast down on my lap. Naruto slipped into his own and I smelled the sweet tea before taking a small sip. I instantly regretted it though. "Hot Hot Hot." I pulled my mouth away blowing awkwardly on my tongue. "Eh...I-I guess... I should r-remember to blow on hot things.? "I smiled looking over at Naruto. "Thank you again Naruto. It is very good." I blew on it this time, then sipped it again. "you sure you like it?" He asked excitedly. "Mmhmm." I mumbled slowly sipping the hot beverage. I then took a bite of my toast. I loved toast with peanut butter. I did not have it too often for whatever reason but it was something I wished I had more often.
After a little awhile Naruto spoke again. "Hey Hinata?" I looked over at him with a questioning look. "Um...I got something for you..." He said, he seemed pretty nervous and Naruto did not get nervous easily. Hopefully he stopped feeling so guilty and nervous soon. It would be nice to have the happy go lucky Naruto back. I hummed a bit before responding curious about what he had.
"Hm? What is it Naruto?" I asked looking over to him. "Can you Put your tea down..." He said motioning to the small table next to me. I did as I was instructed. I was rather curious what he had gotten and when he had gotten it. "What is it?" He slowly grasped my hand and slipped a ring onto my finger. "I got you an engagement ring." I lifted my hand up in front of my face and turned it left to right. Examine the ring that was not on my finger a small smile coming to my lips. It was gorgeous. A silver band, with a saphire in the middle. I had never seen a ring that was more lovely. Well maybe my mothers, but still I loved the ring.
"Why? When? You didn't need to get me a ring Naruto..." I whispered as I looked down at the ring quietly. "I bought it a few days after I woke up. I slept for a couple weeks, but after I woke up I decided I wanted to marry you, so you could remain part of the Hyuuga clan... but if you don't want it... or don't want to marry me it is fine..." He rubbed the back of his head still smiling. "No, No I... I love it N-Naruto. T-Thank you..." I said then hugged him tightly, blushing deeply. I rested my head against his chest. "You should finish... your tea." I nodded before sitting up in my own bed. I slowly grabbed my tea and took a sip before eating my toast. When I finished my toast and my tea I asked him what time it was now.
"It is a little after six." Naruto responded after turning to look at the clock. I grinned a little forgetting that there was a clock in the room. Perhaps I just did not feel like looking for the time.
"Can I go back to sleep? If anyone comes in tell them I.. I um... am asleep." I smiled sheepishly before nuzzling my face against Naruto's chest. A blush playing on my cheeks because of the close contact. My body also shook a little but not as bad. I was more relaxed around Naruto. "Any exceptions."
"Friends." with that I fell back asleep. Before I fell asleep I felt his hand stroking my hair. It felt nice and it relaxed me greatly. I snuggled against his side and closed my eyes. Soon enough I found myself in the land of dreams. I was surprised by how quickly I had fallen asleep. Clearly I was pretty tired.
-Dream land, third person POV-
This time Hinata's dream did not start out bad. It actually started out pretty good. She dreamed of her future with her child and Naruto. She was sitting on the porch looking out onto the training ground where Naruto stood with her son and his adoptive son. Her was calling him Ichiro so she was sure that was his name. It was also spring time before the flowers were in bloom in the grassy areas. Ichiro had black hair and also had the pale lavender eyes most Hyuuga had. He seemed to be almost five years old and it was confirmed when Naruto mentioned his birthday was soon and he would be five.
"Naruto, Ichiro come on over and take a break. I made some lemonade Ichiro's favorite." Hinata said smiling to her son and Naruto. It was a precious site seeing the two together. "Hinata! You should not be working so hard, your eight months pregnant!" Naruto said pouting as he walked over with Ichiro in his arms. "Naruto I can make some lemonade I am not that helpless." Hinata said sternly as she motioned for them to come over.
"Fine, come on Ichiro time for a break. We an train some more after a little break. Mama insisted after all." He shrugged and went to sit down next to her and Set Ichiro down who sat on Hinata's other grinned before passing both of them a class of ice cold lemonade and a couple cookies. Naruto sent her a look before eating the delicious cookies. "Thanks Hinata!" He said kissing her on the cheek. Ichiro nodded as well. "Yeah thank you mama!"
After thanking his mama he started sipping his lemonade. "Daddy can you teach me how to throw kunai knives and shrunken like a big boy please! I will be five tomorrow!" Ichiro said sending Naruto a pleading look who in return turned to Hinata with a similar look. "Go ahead but be careful. Do not leave him alone with them and make sure there the blunted ones and not the real ones." Hinata said sternly. Naruto grinned in victory. "Mommy said it was okay! So later I will teach you okay!?" Hinata giggled at the sight of a grown man so excited to teach a little boy something so simple and vital to being a ninja Ichiro wanted to grow up to be just like his daddy. He wanted to be Hokage.
Then suddenly everything changed. It the sky turned pitch black and trees seemed to disintegrate, Naruto had burst into flames and disappeared. Suddenly I was surrounded by darkness. Hinata was holding her son and that was all she could see. "W-Whats going on!" She demanded. She had no clue who she was talking to though because no one was their. Only herself and her son. Then a figure started to materialize. Just as the face started to form her eyes shot opened to the sound of Naruto.
"Hinata!"
"Time to wake up! You have visitors"
-End dream, Hinata's POV-
I slowly sat up and scanned the room. The dream having startled me a little. No one was there other then Naruto so I relaxed a little."What?" I questioned softly. My voice a little panicked but he seemed to notice.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"N-Nothing... Just... a-another odd... VERY weird dream... I am fine though do not worry." I rubbed my eyes, my forehead then yawned a little. "You said visitors?" I asked quietly. "Who?"
"Um.. lets see... Sakura, Ino, TenTen, Shikamaru, Temari, um Shino, your sister, Lee... and I think that is it. " Naruto seemed to be counting on his fingers. As if trying to remember just who was visiting. "The rest of them are on mission. Shino just got back from his mission." Naruto shrugged. "They are waiting in the hall. I told them I would let them know when you woke up. I decided it was probably a good time for you to wake up it is after twelve now..."
"Hm? Oh A-alright. I do not mind visitors, send them in." I smiled slightly before yawning softly. Naruto agreed with a slight nod before walking over to the door and opening it. "You can come in...Tsunade said one at a time so sort it out yourselves." He grinned before walking back to the beds and plopping down in his.
TenTen was the first to walk in and it was obvious now what Neji meant by 'now the Hyuuga's will have to deal with two weddings in the near future' TenTen looked to be at least two months pregnant. It was something I could tell. It would not be noticeable if she did not wear such a tight shirt. "hey Hinata, how you feeling? Neji told me about you being engaged and pregnant." She said hugging me softly. At least Neji did not tell her the whole story. I did not mind her knowing that I was pregnant and what not. I am sure most of the villiage knew if Hinabi knew. I nodded. "Um... I feel okay... I guess... nervous I suppose..." I said quietly. I was unsure of what I could say. How else could I feel. Scared? Unsure? I felt like every time I fell asleep would be my last because when I awoke the whole world would disintegrate?
"Have you started feeling sick yet? You know morning sickness?"
"Now that you... mention it..." I muttered rubbing my belly. I did feel a little sick, then again I had not eaten all
"That is the WORST part ever! I want to kill myself every morning. It is the worse thing in the world." She shook her head then smiled again. "Anyway it does feel good other then that... I am about 7 or 8 weeks, how far along are you?" She asked me I smiled a little. As best I could in this situation. "About... um... 6 weeks or so..."
"I guess that means our due dates will be around the same time huh? Around May or April." She said nodding. She seemed pretty happy she was not the only one who was pregnant. It was a bit different though, she was clearly happy about being pregnant and getting married. I had already fallen in love with the child I was pregnant with but I was not happy about the situation. Tenten and I had always talked pretty often since her and Neji started dating. Before that we would be civil but never were close. Neji and Tenten have been dating since they were fourteen so they had been together for almost five years. We spoke for the next twenty minutes or so about pregnancy and things like that. I also spoke to Temari about similar things. Her and Shikamaru had a small child. They had a little girl and her name was Maya. She had recently turned six months old and was absolutely adorable.
"Want to see Maya?" Temari asked me.
"Sure, is she here?" I asked just as gently. "Of course, she is outside with Shikamaru."
"Come in here Shikamaru and bring Maya in! Hinata wants to see what a baby is going to be like!" She called to her husband. Temari and I had never been close before she married Shikamaru but then she moved to Konoha and we just started to become closer and talk more. They had been married when Shikamaru was sixteen and Temari was eighteen so they had been together for around two years.
Shikamaru drug himself into the room holding little five month old Maya. She had shoulder length black hair. Her eyes were a bright blue. She giggled happily. "Here Temari." He muttered handing her to Temari after that Temari handed the small child to me. "She is so adorable..." I whispered seeing the baby it brought most things into prospective. I was pregnant. I was going to have a baby, and if my dream came to fruition it would be a boy, and I would name him Ichiro. I had always loved kids and had wanted a few of my own. Just not this way. I ran my finger over the little girls cheek grinning slightly.
Shikamaru stayed in the room as well and stood next to the bed and talked with Naruto about something I did not bother to pay attention to. It was obvious Shikamaru only came because Temari made him. He was definitely my friend but it just was not his personality to go out of his way to visit someone at the hospital. I stroked the little girls cheek. She was so happy right now. Smiling and giggling. "You have to help me figure out how to raise a baby Temari! I have watched kids before and I don't know how to take care of my own baby." I said smiling to Temari. "I will if I can ever figure it out myself." She smirked. I simply sighed and continued to hold the small baby. She was so small and somewhat fragile. I could just imagine what a newborn would be like. I was so nervous I could not believe it. Then again I had a little more then seven months to come to terms with it.
Over the next few hours I met with everyone. They seemed just the same as they were before I went out on the mission. Everyone was there same old selves. Shino was quiet, Shikamaru complained but he did ask how I was doing and asked if I was alright, Sakura... well Sakura was interesting.
"Hinata! Your gong to marry him!? He is always running around and can be pretty annoying. Oh and he is also a pervert because of that jutsu of his! What else do you expect he spent three years with Jiraya-sama!" She rolled her eyes turning to glare at Naruto. Naruto grinned before hiding his head behind my back. I sighed a little. While I did not dislike Sakura she always annoyed me to know end with how she treated Naruto, but she had changed a bit over the years. "I am...I guess. He is...n-nothing but kind to me...and I care about him...so um...yeah." I just smiled a little, trying to ignore the fact my face was deep red because of the male shinobi hiding behind my back.
"Hinata you really know how to pick them." She shrugged, her tone pretty sarcastic at the moment. Not much else was said before another nurse walked into the room. "SAKURA! please come to the emergency room." Sakura sighed softly before turning to me. "I got to run, I will talk to you later Hinata." That was the end of our conversation, short but simple.
Hanabi... well she was Hanabi.
"Hi! How are you feeling Hinata!?" Hanabi asked. Obviously worried about me but also seemed a bit excited about something.
"I am alright Hanabi-chan" I insisted.
"Good good! Ohhhhh Father was hilarious last night!" She said bouncing up and down a bit, looking at me with wide, excited eyes. A huge grin spread across her face. "He was screaming that I was not allowed to get a boy friend or grow up! I told him I was dating Konohamaru and he freaked even more! It was great!" I laughed a little. Apparently father decided it was a good idea to continue his ranting after Neji had left. While I knew my father was apparently acting like a child I knew it would not be so simple when I arrived him. He would probably act much like he had when he awoke from his fainting spell the day before.
Even if he wanted to do something different he had others to answer to. The council in the Hyuuga clan. Hopefully everything would work out in our favor but I was worried something else would happen. I decided not to worry about it for now.
Hanabi went on to get excited because I was doing stuff father would dislike. I was a rebel. I had always done everything I was told so she fount this amazing. Something against everything the Hyuuga's wanted their younger generations to do. I just let her believe it. After all I would not be telling her the truth about why I was pregnant.
It was a long day but I had allot of fun talking to my friends and sister. They were all very comforting and it was simply nice to forget for a few hours what had occurred.
-Naruto POV-
Overall the visits went pretty well though a few things did happen. Hinata seemed to be having a good time talking with her friends. When Shikimaru came into the room he handed over his daughter before walking over to me.
"How are you doing Naruto?" Shikimaru asked me.
"Fine...My injuries are finally starting to heal." I said shrugging. Shikimaru nodded a bit then motioned to the ring on Hinata's finger. "You and Hinata are getting married?" He asked and I nodded. I knew Shikimaru was smart and if I guessed right he would figure out the truth behind what happened pretty quickly.
"Yeah."
"Since when have you too been a couple?" He asked tilting his head leaning against the wall. "I guess it does not matter but I am pretty sure you guys were not together before Hinata was taken..." I smiled a little and stared up at the ceiling, just thinking about what he had said. "She was raped...she is pregnant and um...I decided to marry her to protect her from her clans traditions and stuff. I want her to be safe so I told her father it was my child and I wanted to marry her." I explained in a soft voice. I did not want Hinata or Temari to over hear this conversation. "Just keep it to yourself alright Shikimaru?" I said and he nodded. "Alright...better make sure her father does not find out before your married and what not. I am sure he will not appreciate being lied to. I saw how he was acting when she was unconscious and he defiantly is not the type to take that lying down." I nodded in agreement because he was defiantly telling the truth. Hiashi was the type to get angry about it. Especially if it was about his daughter.
Awhile later Sakura came in and I sighed. I was not looking forward to her coming into the room. I did not feel like hearing her right now because I knew what would be said. I grinned a little and decided to hide behind Hinata. I still had some feelings for her but I also knew it was futile to try and get her to have the same feelings for me. Oh and recently I realized she just like to insult me and it did not seem to stop since I was a young child.
Other then Shikamaru finding out and Sakura being Sakura the rest of the visits were pretty straight forward. Everyone was worried about Hinata and most asked if I was doing alright as well. Most had questioning looks if they saw the ring or knew that she was pregnant and we were being married. I was surprised so many people seemed to notice or know that we were getting married. It seemed to spread pretty quickly and based on how excited Hanabi was I was guessing she was the main reason.
~One month later~
It had been a month since I awoke. It had taken awhile to finally be completely healed Tsunade-sama's healing jutsu were not as effective as they should have been. She had told me multiple times the injuries both Naruto and myself were taking allot longer to heal and they were weird. Naruto had healed a few weeks earlier thanks to the help of the Kyuubi. Tsunade had even forced him to go on a mission because he was refusing to leave the hospital and he needed to get out. I even insisted and Neji had stayed with me that day. It was only a quick two day mission and a simple one at that. He was much calmer after that. Naruto was not the type that could just sit around for weeks on end.
I was finally healed though.
I was finally being released.
I was finally out of the hospital.
I was finally heading home.
I was finally going to face my father.
Finally...
Finally...
I felt like I was going to die.
Reaching over I gripped Naruto's arm. We were standing in front of the Hyuuga compound.
"Do not worry it will.. It will be fine." He soothed.
"Promise?"
"Yeah I promise Hinata. I will be with you."
I nodded and we opened the door to the compound slowly...
"On Second thought...lets go get something to eat first." Naruto said grinning and scooping me up, running in the opposite direction. I laughed a bit nodding. Of course he brought us to get ramen and I was happy. I was pretty hungry so I welcomed the food and the small reprieve from seeing my father for a little bit longer.
-Hiashi, third person POV-
"Did you clean her room?" Hiashi demanded. The servant nodded their head slightly.
"Good."
He headed to the kitchen. "Are all of her favorite in stock?" The chef nodded his head. "Yes... even her favorite desserts have been baked and stored in the fridge as well as healthier foods because she is pregnant." He nodded again, pacing back and forth. "Anything else?" He muttered to himself before heading to her room and making sure the outfit she needed to wear later was set onto her bed.
"I think everything is all set..." He muttered before heading to the window.
I saw Hinata and that...boy...open the gate but then he took off in the other direct. Hiashi growled a little. Obviously they had chickened out. He wanted them home now.
"NEJI Where is the butcher knife...I need to...cut something up...or the sword in the dojo...that would work as well" He muttered loud enough for Neji to hear. He knew he was nearby. Neji walked in and saw what his Uncle did. He saw Naruto and Hinata running off in the opposite direction. He should have thought of it and run off with TenTen. "They still have an hour before they were supposed to be back...you do not need a knife right now..."
"But Neji! She has not been home in almost three months!" Hiashi mumbled to his nephew. "I better go get everything ready for the council." He continued as if he had not practically whined to his nephew about missing his daughter. Hiashi was soon heading down the hall toward the council room. Truthfully he hoped Hinata would be able to stay and keep the child. He could care less about Naruto. Getting the council to agree would not be easy since he really could not give much of an opinion at first. He really wanted to get rid of the council but they were a necessity.
Hanabi walked into the room, grinning mischievously.
"I think Uncle is going crazy..." Neji mumbled softly.
Hanabi nodded. "I hear him talking to himself at night...it is kinda creepy..." She said grinning again. Liking when her father actually showed emotion instead of acting like a statue. "He actually told me he did not want me going on missions! That I should stay home." She nodded her head a bit. "He kinda freaked when I told him I would be going to the next Chunin exams...they are being held next month..." She mused, grinning a bit, proud of the fact they would be participating.
Neji nodded a bit. "Ah so your team is the same age as my team when we first entered." She nodded in agreement. She was thirteen. "Well good luck...I should probably keep an eyes on your father...make sure he does not find a knife or sword and start chasing Hinata and Naruto." He muttered heading out the door.
"Things are much more entertaining now." Hanabi giggled before skipping out of the compound to find Konohamaru. Perhaps she would bring him over in a few days to torment her father with!
-Naruto POV-
I admit it! I was avoiding dealing with Hinata's father for a little bit. I would make sure everything went okay. Hinata would be safe and hopefully get to stay with her family. I admit that her father scared the crap out of me when he was angry. All I could hope for was that everything went in our favor.
"How's your ramen Naruto?" Hinata asked turning to me. I smiled a bit. She was not stuttering as much around me as she used to. I never really understood why she would do such things as stutter or blush. She still did from time to time but it defiantly was not as bad as it used to be!
"Good how about yours?" I asked grinning. She nodded a bit, agreeing that it was good.
"Sorry about running off from your house...but I have a feeling that we will be busy and not able to eat for awhile. You and Neji said we would be stuck dealing with your dad and council for awhile...plus I defiantly did not want to deal with your dad on an empty stomach." I admitted with a sheepish smile.
"Its fine...I...I was not entirely ready to face him either plus I was kinda hungry too..." Hinata told me with a small nod of her head. We both agreed. We sat and talked for awhile longer. When it was around ten minutes before we were supposed to arrive back at the compound we paid and headed back to the Hyuuga compound.
"Are...Are you s-sure you want to come in...w-with me?" Hinata questioned with a small blush on her cheeks.
I nodded. "I will not let you go in there alone. I would go anyway...besides your father said my presence was requested." I shrugged slightly. "I am the one that asked you to marry me...so I should be there to help defend the decision and also get your dad to agree. Oh and defend myself when they start remarking about the damn Kyuubi." I muttered knowing they would start attacking me based on the Kyuubi and probably state every reason we could not be together. It would be an uphill battle. "O-Okay Naruto...as long as your sure..." Hinata said softly.
"Lets get this over with." I stated and slowly opened the gate and heading inside, Hinata grabbed my hand as well. I could not help the small smile that came to face. Over the last month we had gotten closer and we spent allot of time together since I refused to leave the hospital.
"I guess we should." Hinata said as we headed inside toward the main house. We both saw Neji waiting by the front door. Defiantly time to get it over with.
Ah and about the time line in this story!
A few people mentioned how Pain had yet to attack at this time.
I believe when I first wrote this story it had yet to happen in the anime and if it did I had not watched it.
So I am not sure if I will add it or if it will just be something that happens farther in the future or not at all. We shall see!
Hope everyone like the chapter!
Next few chapters will turn out the same as the first ones but some differences in between since I plan to have allot of it in third person to make it easier to write!
Please review!
Oh and suggestions on how I can make Hiashi seem crazy are welcome
Also I wanted to make it a bit longer but I figure the next few chapters will be plenty long!
REVIEW TIME!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
