Family time: Chapter 4

Hinata and Naruto had been living together for a week now. They had grown accustomed to each other more then either of them realized. Naruto liked always having her around, he never knew how much being alone bothered him. He had always lived alone but now that they were living together he couldn't imagine living alone again. Coming home to an empty house, eating alone, waking up alone, being alone. Hinata had been around him almost the entire time and he enjoyed going home after missions. He didn't nag for missions anymore because to be honest he was relieved when he had a free day or was sent home after a mission.

Hinata had also grown accustomed to Narutobeing around her. She had always thought that when was older she would liveby herself. Her family had never been good company and she had gotten an urge to livealone and be free. Now she had realized that she didn't want to live alone. She didn't want freedom, it was just her family that she didn't like living with. Or maybe it was just because she liked living with Naruto so much and her family wasn't so bad at all.

They had slowly adjusted to their new lifestyle. Not only with each other but also with Takeshi. They both enjoyed taking care of him very much. Naruto began to ache for the day he would havea family himself. He wanted the family life now more then ever. He wanted a wife, a dog and as much kids as he could handle. He wanted to be called 'daddy' and 'honey' and he wanted everything about the family life. Hinata's resolve to become a mother had also become stronger although she had always loved kids and always knew she wanted them. Most days Naruto would get a small mission that would take him a couple hours to complete and afterwards they would stay home and relax. They talked about everything together and Naruto didn't understand why he never noticed what a good friend Hinata could be. Sometimes he would make a clone to take care of Takeshi so he and Hinata could have some time off. Which was really convenient especially if you didn't like to be waked in the middle of the night by a crying baby.

Now Naruto was staring out the window and sighed. It was raining hard, most of the streets were flooded and nobody was outside. Ninja's who could use water-jutsu were asked to help take care of the water problem. He sighed again, he wanted to go outside. He felt like going outside and taking a walk in the park.

"Stupid weather." He mumbled.

"I-Is something wrong N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata, who he hadn't noticed was there, asked.

"It's nothing Hinata, just the stupid weather."

"W-What do you mean?"

"I want to go outside but it's raining."

"T-Then just go outside. Y-You can always come back later and dry up."

He grinned she was right. He could just go outside and then dry up later. "Aright! Let's go Hinata!"

"Y-You want me to come?"

"Yeah of course what am I going to do outside by myself?" He thought for a minute of taking an umbrella or raincoat but he was getting more into the idea of just running in the rain. He quickly made a clone and grabbed Hinata dragging her outside.

"B-B-But N-Naruto-kun, I was about to make dinner and…"

"No excuses Hinata, we're going for a stroll down the park. The rain feels awesome."

They started running in the direction of the park. Nobody else was outside because it was raining so hard. They were standing ankle-deep in water but they didn't care. The rain was refreshing and the running felt good. When they arrived at the park the water had dropped and there were only puddles left on the small path.

"I guess they cleaned it up here already." Naruto said as they began walking.

They began talking while there clothes and hears became wet and sticky. Naruto had always found rain annoying but today he actually enjoyed it.

"So then Shikamaru said…" Naruto was so busy talking that he didn't watch were he was going, he slipped and fell in a large puddle.

"Shimata!" He cursed while Hinata couldn't help but laugh at the face he was making. "Hey Hinata that's not fair! Don't laugh at me!" He grabbed her and pulled her in the puddle.

With a loud splash she fell in the puddle besides him. "Ha that's what you get for laughing at the great Uzumaki Naruto!" He said laughing. She looked at him and splashed a wave of water over him with her hand.

"And that's what you get for pulling me in the puddle."

"I'm going to get you back for that one Hinata!"

They ran trough the park laughing and splashing each other with water. After a while they got to a point they only stood there panting. They were both exhausted from the running and couldn't get any wetter then they already were. Their clothes clung to there bodies and their hair stuck to their head.

"I-I thing w-we should go home now." Naruto said still trying to catch his breath. Hinata simply nodded and they started to walk home.

Naruto and Hinata came inside dripping wet from the rain.

"You should go take a shower first and change your clothes." Naruto offered.

"T-That's okay you can go first N-Naruto-kun."

"Hinata or you go take a shower first or we go together so hurry up and go shower." He said grinning. But even thought it had been a joke he couldn't help himself to get some wrong images racing through his mind about him and Hinata in the shower.

Hinata was blushing to but more furiously, she understood he mend it as a joke but only thinking about it made her feel dizzy like she was about to faint. It took her all her willpower to not faint after his comment and walk to the bathroom.

After Hinata and Naruto had showered. Separately of course. They sat down on the couch. Hinata was still drying her hair with a towel and Naruto just stared at the ceiling.

"Hinata, can I ask you something?"

"S-Sure N-Naruto-kun, what is it?"

"Do you promise to be completely honest about your answer even if it ends up hurting me?"

She doubted for a minute and then nodded. "O-Of course if you want me to answer truthfully then I will."

"Do you think I would make a good father?"

Hinata blushed slightly. "To be honest N-Naruto-kun, I think you w-would be a fantastic dad."

"Really? I never really thought about it before but now these last couple of days with y… Takeshi I started to think about if I would be a good father."

"N-Naruto-kun I honestly believe that you will be the perfect father. Y-You have been so great with Takeshi and you've learned a lot these last couple of days. T-There's no doubt in my mind that you will not only be a great ninja and H-Hokage but also a l-loving and dedicated father." She blushed at what she just sad but she knew it was the truth and that Naruto needed to hear it.

Naruto looked at her and noticed her face was a bit red. He hoped she didn't catch a fever or something from running outside earlier. He was also happy that she had so much trust in him and her words got to him. He felt the sudden urge to hug her and thank her but didn't. He could tell she was telling the truth. He couldn't imagine a sweet girl like Hinata lying to him.

"Thanks Hinata that means a lot to me."

He thought about what she said once more while a smile was one his face. He never lost the urge to hug her but his better judgment told him not to. 'She will totally freak out or be totally embarrassed. She will probably punch you like when you tried to hug Sakura. Girls aren't okay with me hugging them.' He found it hard to imagine Hinata hitting him but she would probably feel embarrassed or would want him to let go but wouldn't say anything about it.

"I'm going to bed. Thanks again Hinata that was really what I needed to hear."

He left and Hinata was still sitting on the couch. She still couldn't believe she had said that and helped him. She wanted to be there more for Naruto and she always felt happy when they were talking and he ended up with telling her something personal. Who knew maybe he could learn to trust her and tell her anything that was on his mind. She liked that thought. She liked knowing what was on his mind.

Well here's chapter 4. I had this kind of image in my head but it didn't really come out right -.- Nothing really serious happened it was just to show that they're both opening up to each other and enjoy each others company and stuff. The shower thing well… it just had to be in there. I actually did this with my friend. It was raining really hard and nobody was outside but I wanted to go outside. So I talked my friends into going outside. We were outside for three hours and the next day we were all sick -.- but it was worth it, we had a great time. But don't worry Naruto and Hinata are still in great health. R&R (if you want to)
