Walking into the restaurant Hikari was feeling nervous again about this. But when she was brought to the table Mikoto sat at she was surprised to see her sister and Sasuke's wife Sakura there as well.

"Oh Hikari dear, its so good to see you again."

Mikoto was the first one to notice her. She stood from her chair to give Hikari a hug, one that the younger woman returned.

'Itachi's mother is so much nicer then my own.'

"Hello all, I was certainly not expecting this."

"Yes, well I thought it would be a little more comfortable for you if it wasn't just the two of us. Please dear sit, I'm sure you want to get off your feet. Goodness you are getting so big already."

"Five months already. We will be able to find out the gender of the baby at my next appointment."

"Exciting, I remember when Sasuke and Sakura told they were having a girl. I was so over joyed."

"You might have been but Sasuke was not at first. Now he wont let Sarada out of his sight. He keeps bringing her to our bed, I told him she needs to learn to sleep in her own but he insists she sleep with us."

"Don't worry Sakura, my husband was the same. The first good kick she gives him and he will leave her in her own bed. Fugaku was sure Itachi broke one of his rib, poor boy he was only a few months old. He tried to do the same with Sasuke. I had to remind him of what happened last time."

"Oh, see it was me who kept bringing Naruto to our bed. In the middle of the night Minato would wait till I was asleep then take him back to his room."

"With all this I fear Itachi and I will never get the baby out of our bed."

"Don't worry so much about it dear. So when do we get to met your parents? Have you told them about the baby yet?"

"Uh, well that's a bit of a issue. My parents don't know about any of this. I haven't told them at all."

"You haven't told them anything?"

"Hikari what were you thinking. You know how your mother gets."

Kushina was right, Hikari's mother had a tendency to take things too far.

"I know, I know. It just, it all happened so fast. Itachi and I met, we got married and now we're having a baby. It all happened really fast, and knowing my mother the Psychologist, when she finds out she'll find a way to make all of this end and seem like I was brainwashed. But now I'm five months pregnant already and she can't tell me anything."

"Kari, when are you going to tell them?"

"Saturday, both my parents will be in town. Dad will most likely want to see you, so just a heads up if he calls or something."

"Oh this is going to be fun."

"Yea, tell me about it."

The waiter came by and took their orders. It didn't take long for their lunch to come. The women ate with conversation amongst all of them. Hikari greatly enjoyed the company, she had spent most of her time lately at home, school, or at work. Itachi was right, she shouldn't have put her life on hold because of the situation they were in. When she got home she had received a message from Fugaku he told her to take the rest of the week off and concentrate on school for the next few days. Hikari thanked him, and in the back of her mind she was sure Itachi had something to do with it. So with her knew found freedom she called up a few of her friends gave them her new address and said to come by the next day. The three women agreed and were super excited to see her new place and find out what had been going on with her the last few months.

When Itachi came home that evening she had dinner nearly ready.

"Welcome home."

She called from the kitchen.

"It's good to be home."

He said as he rounded the corner into the kitchen. Itachi wrapped his arms around Hikari's waist and leaned his head on her shoulder.

"That smells good."

"Yes, it does and almost done. Go change and this should be ready when you're done."

"Okay,"

He rubbed her belly then kissed her on the cheek before leaving to change. Hikari finished their dinner and prepared to set the table. When Itachi came back everything was ready to eat.

"This looks delicious."

Itachi said as he sat down to eat with her.

"Did lunch go well with my mother?"

"Yes, my sister and Sakura were there too. It was nice."

"I'm glad."

"I also talked to your father."

Itachi stopped mid spoon full.

"And?"

"He told me to take the rest of the week off."

"Oh, well that's good."

"Yes it is."

While Itachi had food already in his mouth Hikari spoke again.

"You had something to do with it, didn't you."

Itachi coughed while trying to swallow, he took a drink out of his cup.

"Yea, that's what I thought. I appreciate everything you have done for me Itachi."

"But,"

"But I don't need you to do everything for me. I am more then capable of doing somethings myself."

"I just figured, with your final exams coming up and the baby."

"I know, you're not supposed to put so much stress on a pregnant woman but I can handle it. I am going to take advantage of this though. A few of my friends are coming over tomorrow, I am going to tell them everything."

"Everything,"

"Well what we consider to be true. They don't need to know the whole truth. Only because it is still kind of embarrassing."

"It is nothing to be embarrassed about. We are adults, what we did was something pretty normal for adults."

"I guess, its still embarrassing."

Itachi smiled at her and continued to eat his food.

"This really is good. You know when I'm not choking on it."

"Oh don't be such a baby."

"Now I'm the baby. This coming from 'what we did was embarrassing'. Now that was being a baby."

"Are you making fun of me now?"

"Maybe,"

Itachi kept eating. He didn't look up at her. Hikari made a face, one he did not see but felt.

"If you keep staring at me like that my dear you may burn a whole in my head."

"Whatever,"

Hikari went back to her own food. She ended her night by taking a nice shower then coming back to the room to find Itachi reading through a manuscript. Because she was still sour about earlier Hikari turned the light off on Itachi.

"Dear I cannot see in the dark."

"Maybe you should get glasses, old man."

"I am not much older then you love. But if you are truly ready for bed this can wait till later."

"Oh good, it's hard to fall asleep when you're mumbling every word you read."

"I do not mumble every word."

Itachi said as he put away the manuscript to his American author's latest book. He laid into the bed and put an arm around Hikari's waist to hold her while he slept. Even though Hikari was trying to be mean she really couldn't when Itachi was there to completely surround her. She rolled over to face him a stern look he could was clear on her face.

"I love you, but you're driving me crazy."

"Hm, I love you too."

Itachi said then kissed her forehead before they both went to sleep for the night.
