Chapter 2: Let's Go Shopping!

The next morning Hinata came down stairs to see Sasori and Deidara talking quietly to each other, like they were hiding something.

Hinata stopped and listened- "I'm going to be a father Sasori! Can you believe it? Before Hinata and even before the Akatsuki I was alone and didn't know what friendship, trust, or even love felt like so thinking back it's hard to believe that this is my fate I can not believe it!" Deidara said sounding so joyous.

"I know. I am happy for the both of you and I am glad about everything. I would like nothing more than to be at your wedding as your best man." Sasori told his friend.

"Thank you."

"Deidara, I want to warn you before it's too late. Though the police has given up on Hinata's search Hiashi has not and is working harder than ever to try and find her. Even if the police has thought Hinata a lost cause Hiashi has found a small group of men who are paid by the hour three times a week to search for her. You must be careful to whom you tell of your return. The cops have already interrogated me numerous times and has put me on a 72 hour watch a couple times as well, I'm suspicious enough and it's harder to carry out missions now but it will be harder on you to step out of the house if you just suddenly appear after a three year disappearance. I suggest if you want to go into the community you disguise yourself or limit what you want to do." Sasori explained.

Hinata sighed.

They both turned their heads in her direction and she quickly stood up and walked down the stairs.

"Good morning guys!" She said.

"Good morning." They replied.

"Wow it's like old times. When I used to stay at your guy's house."

"So have you guys eaten at all?" Hinata asked.

"No. We just woke up not too long ago."

"Alright then. I'll make breakfast for everyone!" She opened the kitchen fridge. "Hmm... there's enough for omelets and bacon. Is that alright with you too?" Hinata asked, considerately.

"Sure. I don't mind at all." Sasori replied.

"Sounds good!" Deidara told her.

"Okay! Hopefully Temari and Shikamaru won't mind either."

As Hinata was just about done with the food Temari and Shikamaru had come down stairs and sat at the table.

"Mmmmm. Smell yummy! Whatcha cookin'?" Temari asked.

"Omelets and bacon. They're done actually. Here you go." She handed everyone a plate and grabbed hers last.

After they finished they were stuffed. "Oh my god that was so good! You have to teach me to make that!" Temari complimented.

"Sure!" Hinata said.

"Yes it was quite delicious. Thank you for the food." Sasori said kindly.

Deidara smiled at her. "It was great."

When Shikamaru didn't say anything Temari elbowed him.

"Ow! Oh, um... it was very good. Thanks for cooking." He told her.

"Thanks you guys. That means a lot to me." She replied.

Temari got up and grabbed the dishes. "I'll take care of these."

When the dishes were finished Temari sat next to Hinata in the kitchen. "So, you wanna go shopping? It'll be fun!"

Sasori and Deidara exchanged looks.

"Umm...well I don't really-"

"Please? We can go shopping for new clothes. I'm sure no one will recognize you."

"Well... alright." She said so she wouldn't disappoint Temari.

"Cool! I'll go get my purse."


When they arrived at the mall, Temari led Hinata into a clothing department. It was full of Kimonos and dress gowns.

"I thought it might be nice if I get you a little welcome-home present. Pick anything you like and I'll get it for you." She said.

"Umm... okay." Hinata looked around and saw this beautiful lavender-colored kimono that had a black sash and cherry blossom petals on it.

Temari looked at the direction that Hinata was staring at and saw the silk kimono.

"Aww. Alright I get that one for you then!" She said happily.

"No-no that's alright it's too expensive! How about that plain one over there that's cute!" She said.

Temari ignored her and grabbed the Kimono. Despite Hinata's objection she bought it and started out the door.

"See that wasn't so hard. Besides you'll look cute in it and I bet Deidara would love to take it off of you..." She said with a chuckle!

"May I remind you I'm already pregnant." She replied giggling.

"Okay let's go to the kid department and find some baby stuff. After-all I am the Godmother and I say we spoil this kid to death!"

"Temari we can't spoil him/her too much they need to learn that somethings can't be bought all the time."

"It's your job to teach and discipline, it's mine to spoil." She responded with a broad smile.

Hinata let out a sigh.

The smile on Hinata's face soon faded as she stood still staring at someone.

"Hinata? What's wrong?"

Hinata met eyes with the one person she thought she'd never see again... Itachi.

As he looked at her then turned around and left.

"Hinata... Are you okay?" Temari waved her hands in front of her face.

"Huh? Oh... uh yeah. Hey, I'm not feeling very good do you think you could take me home? Maybe we could continue this some other time?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah sure! Dang that morning sickness gets you at the worst times doesn't it."


As they walked through the door all the guys' were watching horror movies.

"Hey you're home earlier than I expected you would be. Is everything okay sweetie?" Deidara asked standing up to meet Hinata at the door.

"No I don't feel well. Do you think I could talk to you alone please?"

"Sure."

They walked into the kitchen.

"What's up honey?"

Hinata truly looked as if she were going to puke but nothing was coming up.

She swallowed hard and told Deidara about who she saw at the mall.

"Itachi? This can't be good. Don't worry Hinata I'm not letting anyone take you away from me ever again, you hear?"

"Okay. Maybe he didn't recognize me?" She suggested.

"Well I'm not gonna take any chances. I think it's best if you just stay here for a little while. If you absolutely need to go anywhere though I'll make sure I'm there or someone else is. Is that alright with you?"

"Okay." She said.

"Good." He pulled her into a hug. "Everything's gonna be alright. I promise."

As they joined everyone else there was a new movie playing.

"What happened to the movie?" Deidara asked.

"Temari asked if she could put in something else, so I let her." Sasori said.

"Oh."

"Yeah. It's a classic."

"What movie is it?" hinata asked.

"Gone with the Wind" She stated.

"I love that movie." Hinata said taking a seat on the couch.

At the end of the movie everyone yawned from staring at the t.v. for so long.

"Hey we have cards in the kitchen we can play poker for a while."

In the middle of their third game of poker Sasori's phone began to ring.

"Hello? Oh I see... I'll leave right now then." He hung up the phone.

"Well guys I have to go. Pein needs me for something. I'll see you guys later. Deidara remember what I said earlier." On that note, he left.

Everyone turned towards Deidara. "He said he would be my best man."

"Aw! That's good. When do you guys plan on getting married. If you don't mind me asking?" Temari asked.

"Sometime after the baby comes. It would be less stressful that way." Deidara said.

"I see."

Before anyone could say anything there was a loud knocks at the door.

When Temari opened it Deidara stood in front of Hinata protectively.

"Let me speak to Hinata, now!" They ordered.

Everyone was silent and didn't move an inch.
